Amos 8:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

8 These things the Lord shewed to me: and behold a hook to draw down the fruit.

² And he said: What seest thou, Amos? And I said: A hook to draw down fruit. And the Lord said to me: The end is come upon my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more.

³ And the hinges of the temple shall screak in that day, saith the Lord God: many shall die: silence shall be cast in every place.
