Amos 8:2-4
Authorized (King James) Version
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 howlings in that day,
saith the Lord God:
there shall be many dead bodies in every place;
they shall cast them forth with silence.
4 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy,
even to make the poor of the land to fail,
Amos 8:2-4
New International Version
2 “What do you see,(A) Amos?(B)” he asked.
“A basket(C) of ripe fruit,” I answered.
Then the Lord said to me, “The time is ripe for my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.(D)
3 “In that day,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “the songs in the temple will turn to wailing.[a](E) Many, many bodies—flung everywhere! Silence!(F)”
