Amos 8:1 (NIRV) New International Reader's Version

1 The Lord and King gave me a vision. He showed me a basket of ripe fruit.
2 "What do you see, Amos?" he asked. "A basket of ripe fruit," I replied. Then the Lord said to me, "The time is ripe for my people Israel. I will no longer spare them.
3 "The time is coming when the songs in the temple will turn to crying," announces the Lord and King. "Many, many bodies will be thrown everywhere! So be quiet!"
4 Listen to me, you who walk all over needy people. You crush those who are poor in the land.
5 You say, "When will the New Moon Feast be over? Then we can sell our grain. When will the Sabbath day come to an end? Then people can buy our wheat." But you don't measure out the right amount. You raise your prices. You cheat others by using dishonest scales.
6 You buy poor people to make slaves out of them. You buy those who are in need for a mere pair of sandals. You even sell the worthless parts of your wheat.
7 People of Jacob, you are proud that the Lord is your God. But he has taken an oath in his own name. He says, "I will never forget anything Israel has done.
8 "The land will tremble because of what will happen. Everyone who lives in it will sob. So the whole land will rise like the Nile River. It will be stirred up. Then it will settle back down again like that river in Egypt."
9 The Lord and King announces, "At that time I will make the sun go down at noon. The earth will become dark in the middle of the day.
10 I will turn your holy feasts into times for sobbing. I will turn all of your songs into crying. You will have to wear black clothes. You will shave your heads. I will make you sob as if your only son had died. The end of that time will be like a bitter day."
11 The Lord and King announces, "The days are coming when I will send hunger through the land. But people will not be hungry for food. They will not be thirsty for water. Instead, they will be hungry to hear a message from me.
12 People will wander from the Dead Sea to the Mediterranean. They will travel from north to east. They will look for a message from me. But they will not find it.
13 "At that time "the lovely young women and strong young men will faint because they are so thirsty.
14 Some people take oaths in the name of Samaria's shameful god. Others say, 'People of Dan, you can be sure that your god is alive.' Still others say, 'You can be sure that Beersheba's god is alive.' But all of those people will fall dead. They will never get up again."

4 Hear H8085 VQI2MP this H2063 DPRO , O ye that swallow up H7602 the needy H34 , even to make the poor H6041 of the land H776 to fail H7673 ,
5 Saying H559 L-VQFC , When H4970 IGAT will the new moon H2320 D-NMS be gone H5674 VQY3MS , that we may sell H7666 corn H7668 ? and the sabbath H7676 , that we may set forth H6605 wheat H1250 , making the ephah small H6994 , and the shekel H8255 great H1431 , and falsifying H5791 the balances H3976 by deceit H4820 NFS ?
6 That we may buy H7069 the poor H1800 JMP for silver H3701 BD-NMS , and the needy H34 W-AMS for H5668 B-NMS a pair of shoes H5275 ; yea , and sell H7666 the refuse H4651 of the wheat H1250 ?
7 The LORD H3068 EDS hath sworn H7650 by the excellency H1347 B-CMS of Jacob H3290 , Surely H518 PART I will never H5331 L-NMS forget H7911 any H3605 NMS of their works H4639 .

9 And it shall come to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS in that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-NMS , saith H5002 the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 , that I will cause the sun H8121 D-NMS to go down H935 at noon H6672 , and I will darken H2821 the earth H776 LD-NFS in the clear H216 NMS day H3117 B-NMS :
10 And I will turn H2015 your feasts H2282 into mourning H60 L-NMS , and all H3605 NMS your songs H7892 into lamentation H7015 ; and I will bring up H5927 sackcloth H8242 upon H5921 PREP all H3605 NMS loins H4975 , and baldness H7144 upon H5921 PREP every H3605 NMS head H7218 NMS ; and I will make H7760 it as the mourning H60 of an only H3173 son , and the end H319 thereof as a bitter H4751 day H3117 .
