Vision of the Summer Fruit
a“The end has come upon My people Israel;
bI will not pass by them anymore.
Shall be wailing in that day,”
Says the Lord God—
“Many dead bodies everywhere,
bThey shall be thrown out in silence.”
And make the poor of the land fail,
“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,
And the needy for a pair of sandals—
Even sell the bad wheat?”
And everyone mourn who dwells in it?
All of it shall swell like1 the River,
Heave and subside
bLike the River of Egypt.

With silence - So great will be the cruelty of the enemy, that they dare not bury them, or if they do, it must be undiscerned.
