The word about those who swallow up the needy, and a famine of hearing the LORD’s words

궁핍한 자를 삼키는 자들과 여호와의 말씀을 듣지 못하는 기갈을 두고 이르신 말씀

Amos 8:4–14: the text says, “Hear this, you who desire to swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail, saying, ‘When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel large, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit; that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals, and sell the sweepings with the wheat?’” The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob, “Surely I will never forget any of their works. 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. It will happen in that day,” says the Lord GOD, “that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day. 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. Behold, the days come,” says the Lord GOD, “that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the LORD’s words. They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek the LORD’s word, and will not find it. In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst. Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, ‘As your god, Dan, lives,’ and, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives,’ they will fall, and never rise up again.” The Korean Revised Version closes the oath at 8:7 (잊지 아니하리라 하셨나니) and gives 8:8 after it with no word naming who speaks. At 8:14 it reads 사마리아의 죄된 우상 and 브엘세바의 위하는 것의 생존을 가리켜, where WEB reads “the sin of Samaria” and “As the way of Beersheba lives”.
