Amos 8:2-4
Complete Jewish Bible
2 He asked, “‘Amos, what do you see?” I answered, “A basket of summer [a] fruit.” Then Adonai said to me,
“The end [b] has come for my people,
I will never again overlook their offenses.
3 When that time comes, the songs in the temple
will be wailings,” says Adonai Elohim.
“There will be many dead bodies;
everywhere silence will reign.”
4 Listen, you who swallow the needy
and destroy the poor of the land!
