1 I had another vision from the Sovereign Lord. In it I saw a basket of fruit.
2 The Lord asked, “Amos, what do you see?”“A basket of fruit,” I answered.The Lord said to me, “The end has come for my people Israel. I will not change my mind again about punishing them.
3 On that day the songs in the palace will become cries of mourning. There will be dead bodies everywhere. They will be thrown out in silence.”
4 Listen to this, you that trample on the needy and try to destroy the poor of the country.
