of Israel, saying, "Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words. 007:011 For Amos says, 'Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'" 007:012 Amaziah also said to Amos, "You seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there: 007:013 but don't prophesy again any more at Bethel; for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house!" 007:014 Then Amos answered Amaziah, "I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs; 007:015 and Yahweh took me from following the flock, and Yahweh said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.' 007:016 Now therefore listen to the word of Yahweh: 'You say, Don't prophesy against Israel, and don't preach against the house of Isaac.' 007:017 Therefore thus says Yahweh: 'Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'" 008:001 Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit. 008:002 He said, "Amos, what do you see?" I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then Yahweh said to me, "The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more. 008:003 The songs of the temple will be wailings in that day," says the Lord Yahweh. "The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence. 008:004 Hear this, you who desire to swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail, 008:005 Saying, 'When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel large, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit; 008:006 that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes, and sell the sweepings with the wheat?'" 008:007 Yahweh has sworn by the pride of Jacob, "Surely I will never forget any of their works. 008:008 Won't the land tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; and it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt. 008:009 It will happen in that day," says the Lord Yahweh, "that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day. 008:010 I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day.
