In context
1 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: I saw a basket of summer fruit.
2 “Amos, what do you see?” He asked. “A basket of summer fruit,” I replied. So the LORD said to me, “The end has come for My people Israel; I will no longer spare them.”
3 “In that day,” declares the Lord GOD, “the songs of the temple will turn to wailing. Many will be the corpses, strewn in silence everywhere!”
4 Hear this, you who trample the needy, who do away with the poor of the land,
5 asking, “When will the New Moon be over, that we may sell grain? When will the Sabbath end, that we may market wheat? Let us reduce the ephah and increase the shekel; let us cheat with dishonest scales.

7 The LORD has sworn by the Pride of Jacob: “I will never forget any of their deeds.
