The .viij. Chapter.
Agaynst the rulers of Israell. The Lorde sweareth
that the wyll fulfyll the thynges whyche he hath determyned
agaynst Israell.
A The Lorde God shewed me this
vysyon: and beholde, there was
a maunde wyth somer fruyte.
And he sayde: Amos, what seist
thou? I answered: a maunde
wyth sommer fruyte. Then sayde the Lorde
vnto me: the ende commeth vpon my people
of Israell, I wyll no more ouerse them. In
that daye shall the songes of the temple be
turned in to sorowe, sayeth the Lorde God.
Many deed bodyes shall lye in euery place,
and be caste forth secretelye. note
B Heare this, O
ye that oppresse the poore, and destroye the
nedy in the lande, saying: When wil the new
moneth be gone, that we maye sell vytale, ∧
the Sabboth, that we maye haue scarcenesse
of corne: to make the busshell lesse, and the
Sycle greater? We shal set vp false waightes
that we maye gett the poore vnder vs wyth
their money, and the nedy also for shues: yee
let vs sell the chaffe for corne.
C noteThe Lorde hath sworne agaynst the pride
of Iacob: these workes of theirs wyl I neuer
forget. Shall not the lande tremble, and all
they þt; dwell therin, mourne for thys? noteShall
not their destruccyon come vpon them lyke a
water streame, and flowe ouer them, as the
floude of Egypte? At the same tyme (sayeth
the Lorde God) I shall cause the Sunne to
go downe at none, note and the land to be darcke
in the cleare daye. Youre hye feastes wyll I
turne to sorowe, and youre songes to mournynge:
I wyll bringe sack cloth vpon al backes,
and baldnes vpon euery head:
D yee soch a
mournynge wyll I sende them, note as is made
vpon an only begotten sonne, and they shall
haue a miserable ende.
Beholde, the tyme commeth (sayeth the
Lord God) þt; I shal sende an hunger in to the
earth: not the h&ubar;ger of bread, ner the thyrst of
water: but an hunger to heare the worde of
the Lorde: so that they shall go from the one
sea to the other yee from the north vnto the
east, runnyng aboute to seke the worde of the
Lorde, and shall not fynde it. In that tyme,
shall the fayre virgins and the yonge men perysh
for thyrst, yee euen they that sweare in
the offence of Samaria, and saye: as trulye
as thy God lyueth at Dan, and as trulye as
thy God lyueth at Bersaba. These shall fall,
and neuer ryse vp agayne.
