Amos 8:11

A Basket Of Ripe Fruit

¹⁰ I will turn your feasts into mourning
and all your songs into lamentation;
I will cause everyone to wear sackcloth
and every head to be shaved.
I will make that grief
like mourning for an only son
and its outcome like a bitter day. ¹¹ Hear this! The days are coming—
this is the declaration of the Lord God—
when I will send a famine through the land:
not a famine of bread or a thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of the Lord.
¹² People will stagger from sea to sea
and roam from north to east,
seeking the word of the Lord,
but they will not find it.

Days are Coming

Famine in the Land

Hear the Word of the Lord

Says the Lord

Time is Coming

Word of the Lord

Words of the Lord

Days Come
