Amos 8:1-3

A Basket of Ripe Fruit

1 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} my Lord Yahweh. "The corpses are numerous; he throws them in every place. Be quiet!"
