Amos 8:2-4

Contemporary English Version

“This is the end^[a]
for my people Israel.
    I won't forgive them again.
³ Instead of singing
in the temple,
    they will cry and weep.
Dead bodies will be everywhere.
    So keep silent!
I, the Lord, have spoken!”

⁴ You people crush those in need
    and wipe out the poor.
