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.
