Amos 8

Gen Z: Amos 8

1Yo, the Lord God just showed me a basket of summer fruit. Vibes.

2He’s like, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then the Lord was like, “The end is here for my peeps in Israel; I’m done with them, no cap.”

3The temple jams are gonna be straight howls that day, says the Lord God: so many bodies everywhere, it’s gonna be silent vibes.

4Listen up, you who exploit the needy, just to make the poor struggle even more, that’s sus.

5They’re like, “When’s the new moon over so we can sell corn? And the Sabbath, so we can push wheat, making the ephah tiny and the shekel huge, cheating the scales like it’s nothing?”

6They wanna buy the poor for silver and needy folks for a pair of kicks; yeah, and sell off the trash wheat?

7The Lord is swearing by Jacob’s greatness, “I’ll never forget what they’ve done, periodt.”

8Shouldn't the land shake over this? Everyone living there will mourn; it’ll rise like a flood and be tossed out like the flood of Egypt.

9And on that day, says the Lord God, I’ll make the sun set at noon and darken the earth in broad daylight.

10I’ll flip your parties into mourning and all your songs into sad vibes; sackcloth on everyone and bald heads everywhere, like mourning for an only son, and it’ll hit hard.

11Check it, days are coming, says the Lord God, when I’ll send a famine in the land, not for food or water, but for hearing the Lord’s words—straight up.

12They’ll wander from sea to sea, north to east, running around trying to find the word of the Lord, but it’s gonna be ghosting them.

13On that day, the pretty girls and young guys will be fainting from thirst, fr.

14Those who swear by the sin of Samaria and say, “Your god, O Dan, is alive,” and “The vibe of Beer-sheba is real,” even they are gonna fall and never get back up.

KJV: Amos 8

1Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.

2And 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.

3And 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.

4Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,

5Saying, 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?

6That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?

7The Lord hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.

8Shall 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.

9And 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:

10And 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.

11Behold, 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:

12And 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.

13In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.

14They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer–sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.
