Basket of Fruit and Israel's Captivity

1

Thush3541 the Lordh136  1GODh3068 showedh7200 me, and beholdh2009, there was a basketh3619 of summerh7019c fruith7019c.

2

He saidh559, "Whath4100 do you seeh7200, Amosh5986?" And  aI saidh559, "A basketh3619 of summerh7019c fruith7019c." Then the LORDh3068 saidh559 to me, "The  bendh7093 has comeh935 for My peopleh5971a Israelh3478. I will  1 cspareh5674a them noh3808 longerh3254h5750.

3

1The  asongsh7892b of the palaceh1964 will turnh3213 to  bwailingh3213 in that dayh3117," declaresh5002 the Lordh136 GODh3068. "Manyh7227a will be the  ccorpsesh6297; in everyh3605 placeh4725  2they will casth7993 them forth  3in silenceh2013."

4

Hearh8085 thish2088, you who  1 atrampleh7602b the needyh34, to doh7673a awayh7673a with the humbleh6041 of the landh776,

5

sayingh559, "Whenh4970 will the  anewh2320 moonh2320  1be overh5674a, So that we may sellh7666 grainh7668, And the  bsabbathh7676, that we may openh6605a the wheath1250 market, To makeh6994 the  2bushelh374 smallerh6994 and the shekelh8255 biggerh1431, And to  ccheath5791 with  3dishonesth4820 scalesh3976,

6

So as to  abuyh7069 the helplessh1800b for  1moneyh3701 And the needyh34 for a pair of sandalsh5275, And that we may sellh7666 the refuseh4651 of the wheath1250?"

7

The LORDh3068 has  aswornh7650 by the  bprideh1347b of Jacobh3290, "Indeedh518, I will  cneverh518h5331 forgeth7911 anyh3605 of their deedsh4639.

8

"Becauseh5921 of thish2088 will not the landh776  aquakeh7264 And everyoneh3605 who dwellsh3427 in it  bmournh56? Indeed, allh3605 of it will  criseh5927 up like the Nileh2975, And it will be tossedh1644 abouth1644 And subsideh8257 like the Nileh2975 of Egypth4714.

9

"It will comeh1961 about in that dayh3117," declaresh5002 the Lordh136 GODh3068, "That I will make the  asunh8121 goh935 down at noonh6672a And  bmakeh2821 the earthh776 darkh2821 in  1broadh216 daylighth3117h216.

10

"Then I will  aturnh2015 your festivalsh2282 into mourningh60 And allh3605 your songsh7892a into  1lamentationh7015; And I will bringh5927  bsackclothh8242 on everyone'sh3605 loinsh4975 And baldnessh7144 on everyh3605 headh7218. And I will makeh7760 it  clike a time of mourningh60 for an onlyh3173 sonh3173, And the endh319 of it will be like a bitterh4751 dayh3117.

11

"Beholdh2009, daysh3117 are comingh935," declaresh5002 the Lordh136 GODh306, "When I will sendh7971 a famineh7458 on the landh776, Not a famineh7458 for breadh3899 or a thirsth6772 for waterh4325, But ratherh3588h518  afor hearingh8085 the wordsh1697 of the LORDh3068.

12

"People will staggerh5128 from seah3220 to seah3220 And from the northh6828 even to the easth4217; They will goh7751a to and froh7751a to  aseekh1245 the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068, But they will not findh4672 it.

13

"In that dayh3117 the beautifulh3303  avirginsh1330 And the youngh970 menh970 will  bfainth5968 from thirsth6772.

14

"As for those who swearh7650 by the  1 aguilth819 of Samariah8111, Who sayh559, `As your godh430 livesh2416a, O  bDanh1835,' And, `As the wayh1870 of  cBeershebah884 livesh2416a,' They will fallh5307 and  dnot riseh6965 againh5750."
