Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

1 By a basket of summer fruit is shewed the propinquity of Israel's end. 4 Oppression is reproved. 11 A famine of the Word threatened.

8:1 ¶ Thus x3541 hath the Lord 136 GOD 3069 shewed 7200 z8689 unto me: and behold x2009 a basket 3619 of summer fruit. 7019

8:2 And he said, 559 z8799 Amos, 5986 what x4100 seest 7200 z8802 thou? x859 And I said, 559 z8799 A basket 3619 of summer fruit. 7019 Then said 559 z8799 the LORD 3068 unto x413 me, The end 7093 is come 935 z8804 upon x413 my people 5971 of Israel; 3478 I will not x3808 again 3254 z8686 pass y5674 z8800 by x5674 them any more. x5750

8:3 And the songs 7892 of the temple 1964 shall be howlings 3213 z8689 in that x1931 day, 3117 saith 5002 z8803 the Lord 136 GOD: 3069 [there shall be] many 7227 dead bodies 6297 in every x3605 place; 4725 they shall cast [them] forth 7993 z8689 with silence. 2013 z8761

8:4 ¶ Hear 8085 z8798 this, x2063 O ye that swallow up 7602 z8802 the needy, 34 even to make y7673 z0 the poor 6041 z8675 y6035 of the land 776 to fail, 7673 z8687

8:5 Saying, 559 z8800 When x4970 will the new moon 2320 be gone, 5674 z8799 that we may sell 7666 z8686 corn? 7668 and the sabbath, 7676 that we may set forth 6605 z8799 wheat, 1250 making the ephah y374 small, 6994 z8687 x374 and the shekel 8255 great, 1431 z8687 and falsifying 5791 z8763 the balances 3976 by deceit? 4820

8:6 That we may buy 7069 z8800 the poor 1800 for silver, 3701 and the needy 34 for x5668 a pair of shoes; 5275 [yea], and sell 7666 z8686 the refuse 4651 of the wheat? 1250

8:7 The LORD 3068 hath sworn 7650 z8738 by the excellency 1347 of Jacob, 3290 Surely x518 I will never 5331 forget 7911 z8799 any x3605 of their works. 4639

8:8 Shall not x3808 the land 776 tremble 7264 z8799 for x5921 this, x2063 and every one x3605 mourn 56 z8804 that dwelleth 3427 z8802 therein? and it shall rise up 5927 z8804 wholly x3605 as a flood; 2975 and it shall be cast out 1644 z8738 and drowned, 8257 z8738 z8675 y8248 as [by] the flood y216 x2975 of Egypt. 4714

8:9 And it shall come to pass x1961 in that x1931 day, 3117 saith 5002 z8803 the Lord 136 GOD, 3069 that I will cause the sun 8121 to go down 935 z8689 at noon, 6672 and I will darken 2821 z8689 the earth 776 in the clear 216 day: 3117

8:10 And I will turn 2015 z8804 your feasts 2282 into mourning, 60 and all x3605 your songs 7892 into lamentation; 7015 and I will bring up 5927 z8689 sackcloth 8242 upon x5921 all x3605 loins, 4975 and baldness 7144 upon x5921 every x3605 head; 7218 and I will make 7760 z8804 it as the mourning 60 of an only 3173 [son], and the end 319 thereof as a bitter 4751 day. 3117

8:11 ¶ Behold, x2009 the days 3117 come, 935 z8802 saith 5002 z8803 the Lord 136 GOD, 3069 that I will send 7971 z8689 a famine 7458 in the land, 776 not x3808 a famine 7458 of bread, 3899 nor x3808 a thirst 6772 for water, 4325 but x3588 x518 of hearing 8085 z8800 x853 the words 1697 of the LORD: 3068

8:12 And they shall wander 5128 z8804 from sea 3220 x4480 to x5704 sea, 3220 and from the north 6828 x4480 even to x5704 the east, 4217 they shall run to and fro 7751 z8787 to seek 1245 z8763 x853 the word 1697 of the LORD, 3068 and shall not x3808 find 4672 z8799 [it].

8:13 In that x1931 day 3117 shall the fair 3303 virgins 1330 and young men 970 faint 5968 z8691 for thirst. 6772

8:14 They that swear 7650 z8737 by the sin 819 of Samaria, 8111 and say, 559 z8804 Thy god, 430 O Dan, 1835 liveth; 2416 and, The manner 1870 of Beersheba 884 liveth; 2416 even they shall fall, 5307 z8804 and never x3808 rise up 6965 z8799 again. x5750
