Amos
Amos sees a basket of summer fruit, and the LORD says, “The end has come upon my people Israel.” The passage announces that God will not pass by them again and that songs will turn to wailing with many dead bodies. See Amos 8:1–3.
1Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me: and, behold, a basket of summer fruit.
2He said, Amos, what see you? I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said Yahweh to me, The end is come on my people Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
3The songs of the temple shall be wailings in that day, says the Lord Yahweh: the dead bodies shall be many: in every place shall they cast them forth with silence.
