阿摩司书 8:2-4
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
2 他说：“阿摩司啊，你看见什么？”我说：“看见一筐夏天的果子。”耶和华说：“我民以色列的结局到了，我必不再宽恕他们。” 3 主耶和华说：“那日，殿中的诗歌变为哀号，必有许多尸首在各处抛弃，无人作声。”
责其欺虐穷乏
4 你们这些要吞吃穷乏人，使困苦人衰败的，当听我的话！

Amos 8:2-6
The Message
2 He said, “What do you see, Amos?”
I said, “A bowl of fresh, ripe fruit.”
God said, “Right. So, I’m calling it quits with my people Israel. I’m no longer acting as if everything is just fine.”
3 “The royal singers will wail when it happens.”
My Master God said so.
“Corpses will be strewn here, there, and everywhere.
Hush!”
4-6 Listen to this, you who walk all over the weak,
you who treat poor people as less than nothing,
Who say, “When’s my next paycheck coming
so I can go out and live it up?
How long till the weekend
when I can go out and have a good time?”
Who give little and take much,
and never do an honest day’s work.
You exploit the poor, using them—
and then, when they’re used up, you discard them.
