1. God shows Amos a vision of ripe fruit indicating that Israel's sins have made them ripe for punishment. He will spare them no longer.
2. In response to Israel's oppression of the poor and needy, God will cause mourning by turning festivals into mourning and songs into weeping.
3. God will send a famine of hearing his words, causing people to wander seeking his word but not find it. The strong and lovely will faint from thirst. Those who swear by false gods will fall and not rise again.
