- This is what the Sovereign LORD showed me: a basket of ripe fruit.
- "What do you see, Amos?" he asked. "A basket of ripe fruit," I answered. Then the LORD said to me, "The time is ripe for my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.
- "In that day," declares the Sovereign LORD, "the songs in the temple will turn to wailing. Many, many bodies--flung everywhere! Silence!"
- Hear this, you who trample the needy and do away with the poor of the land,
- saying, "When will the New Moon be over that we may sell grain, and the Sabbath be ended that we may market wheat?"-- skimping the measure, boosting the price and cheating with dishonest scales,

- 主耶和華又指示我一件事.我看見一筐夏天的果子。
- 他說、阿摩司阿、你看見甚麼.我說、看見一筐夏天的果子.耶和華說、我民以色列的結局到了.我必不再寬恕他們。
- 主耶和華說、那日殿中的詩歌變為哀號.必有許多屍首在各處拋棄、無人作聲。
- 你們這些要吞喫窮乏人、使困苦人衰敗的、當聽我的話.
- 你們說、月朔幾時過去、我們好賣糧.安息日幾時過去、我們好擺開麥子、賣出用小升斗、收銀用大戥子、用詭詐的天平欺哄人.
