Thus the Lord God showed me [a vision], and behold, there was a basket of [overripe] summer fruit.

Woe to them that are at ease in Zion and that are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the renowned of the first of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come.

Therefore shall they now go captive, with the first that go captive, and the revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass away.

This is what the Lord GOD showed me: Look! He was forming locust swarms as the latter plantings were just beginning to sprout. Indeed, the king had just taken his first fruit tax.
