The king said to Ziba, “Why do you have these?”

Ziba answered, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride, the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat, and the wine is for those to drink who become exhausted in the desert.”

For day and night Your hand was heavy on me;
my strength was drained
as in the summer’s heat.Selah

You set all the boundaries of the earth;
You made summer and winter.

it prepares its provisions in summer;
it gathers its food during harvest.

The son who gathers during summer is prudent;
the son who sleeps during harvest is disgraceful.

Like snow in summer and rain at harvest,
honor is inappropriate for a fool.

the ants are not a strong people,
yet they store up their food in the summer;

So I join with Jazer
to weep for the vines of Sibmah;
I drench Heshbon and Elealeh with my tears.
Triumphant shouts have fallen silent
over your summer fruit and your harvest.

They will all be left for the birds of prey on the hills
and for the wild animals of the land.
The birds will spend the summer on them,
and all the animals, the winter on them.

The fading flower of his beautiful splendor,
which is on the summit above the rich valley,
will be like a ripe fig before the summer harvest.
Whoever sees it will swallow it
while it is still in his hand.

Harvest has passed, summer has ended,
but we have not been saved.

As for me, I am going to live in Mizpah to represent you before the Chaldeans who come to us. As for you, gather wine, summer fruit, and oil, place them in your storage jars, and live in the cities you have captured.”

they all returned from all the places where they had been banished and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah at Mizpah, and harvested a great amount of wine and summer fruit.

they have reached to the sea and to Jazer.
The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruit and grape harvest.

I will demolish the winter house
and the summer house;
the houses inlaid with ivory will be destroyed,
and the great houses will come to an end.

He asked me, “What do you see, Amos?”

I replied, “A basket of summer fruit.”

The Lord said to me, “The end has come for My people Israel; I will no longer spare them.

How sad for me!

after the gleaning of the grape harvest—

no early fig, which I crave.

On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea, in summer and winter alike.
