Amos 8:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Amos 8:2

Vision of the Summer Fruit

1 Thus the Lord God showed me: Behold, a basket of summer fruit.

2 And He said, “Amos, what do you see?” So I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then the Lord said to me:
^a“The end has come upon My people Israel;
^bI will not pass by them anymore.

3 And ^athe songs of the temple
Shall be wailing in that day,”
Says the Lord God—
“Many dead bodies everywhere,
^bThey shall be thrown out in silence.”

4 Hear this, you who¹ swallow up the needy,
And make the poor of the land fail,

5 Saying:
“When will the New Moon be past,
That we may¹ sell grain?
And ^athe Sabbath,
That we may trade wheat?
^bMaking the ephah small and the shekel large,
Falsifying the scales by ^cdeceit,
