1 The Lord God showed me a basket of ripe fruit
2 and asked, “Amos, what do you see?”“A basket of ripe fruit,” I replied.Then he said,“This is the endfor my people Israel.I won't forgive them again.
3 Instead of singingin the temple,they will cry and weep.Dead bodies will be everywhere.So keep silent!I, the Lord, have spoken!”
4 You people crush those in needand wipe out the poor.
