A Basket of Ripe Fruit

8 My Lord Yahweh showed me this, and there was a basket of summer fruit. ² And he said, “What do you see, Amos?” And I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” And Yahweh said to me, “The end has come upon my people Israel. I will not pass by them again!” ³ “And the songs of the temple shall become wailings in that day,” declares^[a] my Lord Yahweh. “The corpses are numerous; he throws them in every place. Be quiet!”
