A basket of summer fruit pictures Israel as ripe for its end. Amos condemns merchants who cannot wait for holy days to end so they can cheat the poor with dishonest measures and sell even refuse as grain. The coming judgment brings songs turned to lamentation, darkness at noon, mourning like the loss of an only son, and a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.
