Amos 8:1-3

International Children’s Bible

The Vision of Ripe Fruit

8 This is what the Lord showed me: a basket of ripe fruit. ² The Lord said to me, “Amos, what do you see?”

I said, “A basket of fruit from the end of the harvest.”

Then the Lord said to me, “An end has come for my people, the Israelites. I will not overlook their sins anymore.

³ “On that day the palace songs will become funeral songs,” says the Lord God. “There will be dead bodies thrown everywhere! Silence!”
