¶ The .viii. Chapter.
¶ Agaynst the rulers of Israell. The Lorde sweareth
that he wyll fulfyll the thynges whych he hath determyned
agaynst Israell.
A The Lorde God: shewed me thys vysyon:
and beholde, there was a maunde
&wt; sommer frute. And he sayde:
Amos, what seyst thou? I answered: a maunde
&wt; s&obar;mer frute. Then sayde the Lorde
vnto me: the ende c&obar;meth vpon my people
of Israel, I wyll nomore ouerse them. In þt;
daye shall the songes of the t&ebar;ple be turned
into sorowe, saieth þe; Lord God, many deed
bodyes shall lye in euery place, and be cast
forth secretly. note
B Heare thys, O ye that oppresse
the poore, and destroye the nedy &ibar; the
lande, saying: Wh&ebar; will the new moneth be
gone, that we maye sell vytayle, ∧ the Sabboth,
that we maye haue scarcenesse of corne:
to make the bushel lesse, and the Sycle
greater? We shall set vp false wayghtes, þt;
we maye get the pore vuder vs wyth theyr
money, and the nedy also for shoes: yee, let
vs sell the chaffe for corne.
C noteThe Lord hath sworne agaynst þe; pryde
of Iacob: these workes of theyrs wyll I neuer
forget. Shall not the lande tremble, &abar;d
all they that dwell therin, mourne for this?
Shall not theyr destruccyon come vp&obar; th&ebar;
lyke a water streame, and flowe ouer th&ebar; as
þe; floude of Egypte? noteAt þe; same tyme sayeth
the Lord God) &rhand; I shall cause the S&ubar;ne
to go downe at none, and the lande to be
darcke in the cleare daye. noteYour hye feastes
wyll I turne to sorowe, ∧ youre songes to
mournynge: I will bringe sack cloth vpon
all backes, and baldnes vpon euery head:
yee, soch a mournynge wyll I sende them.
note as is made vpon an only begotten sonne,
and they shall haue a myserable ende.
Beholde, the tyme commeth (sayeth the
Lorde God) that I shall sende an hunger into
the earth: &rhand; not the hunger of bred, ner
the thyrst of water: but an h&ubar;ger so heare þe;
worde of the Lorde: so þt; they shall go fr&obar; þe;
one see to þe; other, yee, fr&obar; þe; north vnto the
east, r&ubar;nynge aboute to seke þe; worde of the
Lorde, ∧ shall not fynde it &rhand; In þt; tyme,
shall the fayre virgins ∧ the yonge men perysh
for thyrst, yee, euen they that sweare
in the execrable calfe of Samarya, ∧ saye:
as truly as thy God lyueth at Dan, and as
-- --
truly as thy God lyueth at Bersaba. These
shall fall, and neuer ryse vp agayne.
