Text

1	This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit.
2	And he said, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then the LORD said to me, “The end has come upon my people Israel; I will never again pass by them.
3	The songs of the temple shall become wailings in that day,“ declares the Lord GOD. “So many dead bodies!” “They are thrown everywhere!” “Silence!”
4	Hear this, you who trample on the needy and bring the poor of the land to an end,
5	saying, “When will the new moon be over, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may offer wheat for sale, that we may make the ephah small and the shekel great and deal deceitfully with false balances,
6	that we may buy the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals and sell the chaff of the wheat?“
7	The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob: “Surely I will never forget any of their deeds.
8	Shall not the land tremble on this account, and everyone mourn who dwells in it, and all of it rise like the Nile, and be tossed about and sink again, like the Nile of Egypt?“
9	“And on that day,” declares the Lord GOD, “I will make the sun go down at noon and darken the earth in broad daylight.
10	I will turn your feasts into mourning and all your songs into lamentation; I will bring sackcloth on every waist and baldness on every head; I will make it like the mourning for an only son and the end of it like a bitter day.
11	“Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord GOD, “when I will send a famine on the land- not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD.
12	They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the LORD, but they shall not find it.
13	“In that day the lovely virgins and the young men shall faint for thirst.
14	Those who swear by the Guilt of Samaria, and say, 'As your god lives, O Dan,' and, 'As the Way of Beersheba lives,' they shall fall, and never rise again.“

NIV

1	This is what the Sovereign LORD showed me: a basket of ripe fruit.
2	“What do you see, Amos?” he asked. “A basket of ripe fruit,” I answered. Then the LORD said to me, “The time is ripe for my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.
3	“In that day,” declares the Sovereign LORD, “the songs in the temple will turn to wailing. Many, many bodies-flung everywhere! Silence!”
4	Hear this, you who trample the needy and do away with the poor of the land,
5	saying, “When will the New Moon be over that we may sell grain, and the Sabbath be ended that we may market wheat?”- skimping the measure, boosting the price and cheating with dishonest scales,
6	buying the poor with silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, selling even the sweepings with the wheat.
7	The LORD has sworn by the Pride of Jacob: “I will never forget anything they have done.
8	“Will not the land tremble for this, and all who live in it mourn? The whole land will rise like the Nile; it will be stirred up and then sink like the river of Egypt.
9	“In that day,” declares the Sovereign LORD, “I will make the sun go down at noon and darken the earth in broad daylight.
10	I will turn your religious feasts into mourning and all your singing into weeping. I will make all of you wear sackcloth and shave your heads. I will make that time like mourning for an only son and the end of it like a bitter day.
11	“The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign LORD, “when I will send a famine through the land- not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.
12	Men will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the LORD, but they will not find it.
13	“In that day “the lovely young women and strong young men will faint because of thirst.
14	They who swear by the shame of Samaria, or say, 'As surely as your god lives, O Dan,' or, 'As surely as the god of Beersheba lives'- they will fall, never to rise again.“

NLT

1	Then the Sovereign LORD showed me another vision. In it I saw a basket filled with ripe fruit.
2	“What do you see, Amos?” he asked.I replied, “A basket full of ripe fruit.” Then the LORD said, “Like this fruit, Israel is ripe for punishment! I will not delay their punishment again.
3	In that day the singing in the Temple will turn to wailing. Dead bodies will be scattered everywhere. They will be carried out of the city in silence. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken!“
4	Listen to this, you who rob the poor and trample down the needy!
5	You can't wait for the Sabbath day to be over and the religious festivals to end so you can get back to cheating the helpless. You measure out grain with dishonest measures and cheat the buyer with dishonest scales.
6	And you mix the grain you sell with chaff swept from the floor. Then you enslave poor people for one piece of silver or a pair of sandals.
7	Now the LORD has sworn this oath by his own name, the Pride of Israel: “I will never forget the wicked things you have done!
8	The earth will tremble for your deeds, and everyone will mourn. The ground will rise like the Nile River at floodtime; it will heave up, then sink again.
9	“In that day,” says the Sovereign LORD, “I will make the sun go down at noon and darken the earth while it is still day.
10	I will turn your celebrations into times of mourning and your singing into weeping. You will wear funeral clothes and shave your heads to show your sorrow– as if your only son had died. How very bitter that day will be!
11	“The time is surely coming,” says the Sovereign LORD, “when I will send a famine on the land– not a famine of bread or water but of hearing the words of the LORD.
12	People will stagger from sea to sea and wander from border to border searching for the word of the LORD, but they will not find it.
13	Beautiful girls and strong young men will grow faint in that day, thirsting for the LORD's word.
14	And those who swear by the shameful idols of Samaria– who take oaths in the name of the god of Dan and make vows in the name of the god of Beersheba– they will all fall down, never to rise again.“

KJV

1	Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
2	And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
3	And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.
4	Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
5	Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
6	That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7	The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8	Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
9	And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
10	And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
11	Behold, the days 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 even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.
13	In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
14	They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.
