AMOS 8:1 Thus the Lord Jehovah showed me: and, behold, a basket of summer fruit.

AMOS 8:4 Hear this, O ye that would swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail,
AMOS 8:5 saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;
AMOS 8:6 that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
AMOS 8:7 Jehovah hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.

AMOS 8:10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning for an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
AMOS 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord Jehovah, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Jehovah.
AMOS 8:12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they shall run to and fro to seek the word of Jehovah, and shall not find it.
AMOS 8:13 In that day shall the fair virgins and the young men faint for thirst.
AMOS 8:14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, As thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, As the way of Beer-sheba liveth; they shall fall, and never rise up again.
