¹ This is what the LORD God showed me: a basket of summer fruit. ² He said, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then the LORD said to me, “The end has come upon my people Israel; I will never again forgive them. ³ On that day, the people will wail the temple songs,” says the LORD God; “there will be many corpses, thrown about everywhere. Silence.” ⁴ Hear this, you who trample on the needy and destroy the poor of the land, ⁵ saying, “When will the new moon be over so that we may sell grain, and the Sabbath so that we may offer wheat for sale, make the ephah smaller, enlarge the shekel, and deceive with false balances, ⁶ in order to buy the needy for silver and the helpless for sandals, and sell garbage as grain?”
