Amos > Chapter 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 1THUS hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.2And he said, Amos, what seest thou?

Amos > Chapter 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 1THUS hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.2And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.3The LORD repented for this: It shall not be,...
