And he
said,
Amos, what
seest thou? And I
said, A
basket of summer
fruit. Then
said the
LORD unto me, The
end is
come upon my
people of
Israel; I will not
again pass by them any more.

And the
songs of the
temple shall be
howlings in that
day, saith the
Lord GOD: there shall be
many dead
bodies in every
place; they shall cast them
forth with
silence.

sell corn? and the
sabbath, that we may set

Egypt.
