A Vision of a Basket of Fruit (AMO 8:1-3)

[8:1] I had another vision from the Sovereign Lord. In it I saw a basket of fruit.

[8:2] The Lord asked, “Amos, what do you see?” “A basket of fruit,” I answered. The Lord said to me, “The end has come for my people Israel. I will not change my mind again about punishing them.

[8:3] On that day the songs in the palace will become cries of mourning. There will be dead bodies everywhere. They will be cast out in silence.”
