Amos 8:1

Listen to Amos 8:1
1 IL Signore Iddio mi fece vedere una cotal visione: Ecco un canestro di frutti di state.

Amos 8:1 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 8:1

Thus hath the Lord God showed unto me
Another vision, which is the fourth, and after the following manner: and, behold, a basket of summer fruit;
not of the first ripe fruit, but of such as were gathered at the close of the summer, when autumn began. So the Targum,

``the last of the summer fruit;''
such as were fully ripe, and would not keep till winter; or, if kept, would rot; but must be eaten directly, as some sort of apples, grapes, &c. denoting the people of Israel being ripe for destruction, and would be quickly devoured by their enemies; and that, as they had had a summer of prosperity, they would now have a sharp winter of adversity.

Amos 8:1 In-Context

1 IL Signore Iddio mi fece vedere una cotal visione: Ecco un canestro di frutti di state.
2 Ed egli mi disse: Che vedi, Amos? Ed io dissi: Un canestro di frutti di state. E il Signore mi disse: Lo statuito fine è giunto al mio popolo Israele; io non glielo passerò più.
3 E in quel giorno i canti del palazzo saranno urli, dice il Signore Iddio; vi sarĂ  gran numero di corpi morti; in ogni luogo si udirĂ : Getta via, e taci.
4 Ascoltate questo, voi che tranghiottite il bisognoso, e fate venir meno i poveri del paese;
5 dicendo: Quando saranno passate le calendi, e noi venderemo la vittuaglia? e il sabato, e noi apriremo i granai del frumento? scemando l’efa, ed accrescendo il siclo, e falsando le bilance, per ingannare;
