Amos 8:1-3

New American Standard Bible 1995

Basket of Fruit and Israel’s Captivity

8 Thus the Lord ^[a]God showed me, and behold, there was a basket of summer fruit. ² He said, “What do you see, Amos?” And ^(A)I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then the Lord said to me, “The ^(B)end has come for My people Israel. I will ^[b](C)spare them no longer. ^3 [c]The ^(D)songs of the palace will turn to ^(E)wailing in that day,” declares the Lord God. “Many will be the ^(F)corpses; in every place ^[d]they will cast them forth ^[e]in silence.”
