The VIII. Chapter.
A The LORDE God shewed me me this
vision: and beholde, there was a ma&ubar;de
with sommer frute. And he sayde:
Amos, what seist thou? I answered: a ma&ubar;de
with sommer frute. Then sayde the LORDE
vnto me: the ende commeth vpon my people
of Israel, I wil nomore ouersee them. In
that daye shall the songes off the temple be
turned in to sorow, sayeth the LORDE God.
Many deed bodyes shal lye in euery place, ∧
be cast forth secretly. Heare this, O ye þt; oppresse
the poore, and destroye the nedy in þe;
londe, sayenge: note Whan will the new moneth
be gone, that we maye sell vytale, and þe; Sabbath,
that we maye haue scarcenesse of corne:
to make the bu&esset;shel lesse, and the Sycle
greater? We shall set vp false waightes, þt;
we maye get the poore vnder vs with their
money, and the nedy also for shues: yee let vs
sell the chaffe for corne.
noteThe LORDE hath sworne agaynst the
pryde of Iacob: these workes of theirs will
I neuer forget. Shal not the londe tremble,
and all they that dwell therin, mourne for
this? Shal not their destruccion come vpon
them like a water streame, ∧ flowe ouer th&ebar;,
as the floude of Egipte?
B At the same tyme
(sayeth the LORDE God) note I shall cause þe; S&obar;ne
to go downe at noone, and the londe to be
-- --
darcke in the cleare daye. noteYoure hye feastes
will I turne to sorow, and youre songes to
mournynge: I wil brynge sack cloth vp&obar; all
backes, ∧ baldnes vp&obar; euery heade: yee soch
a mournynge wil 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
LORDE God) þt; I shal sende an h&ubar;ger in to þe;
earth: not the hunger of bred, ner the thyrst
of water: but an hunger to heare the worde
off the LORDE: so that they shal go from the
one see to the other, yee from þe; north vnto þe;
east, runnynge aboute to seke the worde of þe;
LORDE, and shal not fynde it. In that tyme,
shal the fayre virgins and the yonge men perish
for thyrst, yee euen they that sweare in
the offence off Samaria, and saye: as truly
as thy God lyueth at Dan, and as truly as þe;
God lyueth at Bersaba. These shal fall, and
neuer ryse vp agayne.
