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.
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.”
Shall be wailing in that day,”

bThey shall be thrown out in silence.”
4 Hear this, you who1 swallow up the needy,
And make the poor of the land fail,
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,
“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,
