² He said to me, “Amos, what do you see?”

I said, “A basket of summer fruit.”

Then the Lord said to me, “An end [^Cthe Hebrew word for “end” sounds like the word for “summer fruit”] has come for my people Israel, because I will not ·overlook their sins [^Lpass by them] anymore.

³ “On that day the ·palace [or temple] songs will become ·funeral songs [^Lwailing],” says the Lord God. “·There will be dead bodies [^LMany bodies/corpses] thrown everywhere! ·Silence! [or …and carried out in silence.]”
