In a fourth vision Amos sees a basket of summer fruit, a sign that “the end has come upon my people Israel.” He renews his indictment of the greedy merchants who can hardly wait for the Sabbath to end so they can cheat with false balances and sell the poor for silver. Most chilling is the coming judgment of silence: “not a famine of bread... but of hearing the words of the LORD,” when people will wander seeking God’s word and not find it.
