Amos 8:1-3 ▼

1 Thus the Lord GOD showed me [a vision], and behold, there was a basket of [overripe] summer fruit.

2 And He said, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then the LORD said to me, “The end has come for My people Israel. I will spare them no longer [for the nation is ripe for judgment].

3 In that day, the songs of the palace shall turn to wailing,” says the Lord GOD. “There will be many dead bodies; in [sacred] silence they will throw them everywhere.”
