208. Internal Meaning of Amos, Chapter 8

1 A new thing of the church comes into existence. (11)

2 The old church comes to an end, (3)

4-6 when there is nothing but adulteration of good and truth. (3)

7-10 Therefore they will perish on the day of judgment. (15)

11-14 Then there will no longer be any good or truth. (3, 15)

Amos 8:7-10

Étudier

      

7 Yahweh has sworn by the pride of Jacob, "Surely I will never forget any of their works.

8 Won't the land tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; and it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.

9 It will happen in that day," says the Lord Yahweh, "that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.

10 I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day.
