The Vision of the Basket of Summer-Fruit.

Amos 8:1-3

1 Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.

2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.

3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlingsa in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.
