1 By a basket of Summer fruite, is shewed the
propinquitie of Israels end. 4 Oppression is
reproued. 11 A famine of the word threatned.
1
Thus hath the Lord God
shewed vnto me, and beholde,
a basket of Summer
fruit.
2
And he said, Amos,
what seest thou? And I sayde, A basket
of Summer fruite. Then said the

againe passe by them anymore.
3
And the songs of the Temples
note shalbe howlings in that day, sayth the
Lord God: there shall be many dead
bodies in euery place, they shall cast them
foorth note with silence.
4
¶ Heare this, O ye that swallow
vp the needy, euen to make the poore of
the land to faile,
5
Saying, When will the note newe
Moone be gone, that we may sell corne?
and the Sabbath, that wee may note set
forth wheat, making the Ephah small,
and the shekel great, and note falsifying the
balances by deceit?
6
That wee may buy the poore for
note siluer, ∧ the needie for a paire of shoes;
yea, and sell the refuse of the wheate?

therein? and it shall rise vp wholly

And it shall come to passe in that
day, saith the Lord God, that I will
cause the Sunne to go downe at noone,
and I will darken the earth in the
cleare day.

And I will turne your feasts into
mourning, and all your songs into
lamentation, and I will bring vp sackcloth
vpon all loynes, and baldnesse vpon
euery head: and I will make it as
the mourning of an onely sonne, and the
end thereof as a bitter day.

¶ Behold, the daies come, saith the
Lord God, 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 the Lord.
12
And they shall wander from Sea
to Sea, and from the North euen to
the East they shall runne to and fro, to
seeke the worde of the Lord, and
shall not finde it.
13
In that day shall the faire virgines
and young men faint for thirst.
14
They that sweare by the sinne of
Samaria, and say, Thy God, O Dan,
liueth, and the manner of Beer-sheba
liueth, euen they shall fall, and neuer
rise vp againe.
