Amos 8:2-5

Amos 8:2-5 NCV

He said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then the LORD said to me, “An end has come for my people Israel, because I will not overlook their sins anymore. “On that day the palace songs will become funeral songs,” says the Lord GOD. “There will be dead bodies thrown everywhere! Silence!” Listen to me, you who walk on helpless people, you who are trying to destroy the poor people of this country, saying, “When will the New Moon festival be over so we can sell grain? When will the Sabbath be over so we can bring out wheat to sell? We can charge them more and give them less, and we can change the scales to cheat the people.
