Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit.
"The songs of the temple shall be wailings ..." Here again the translation should be corrected, as in the New English Bible,[11] to "the palace," instead of "the temple."  The Jerusalem edifice is not in view here at all, as it is particularly the sins of the Northern Kingdom that are under consideration.  The mistranslation is quite understandable, since the Hebrew text actually has a "Great House," which might mean either the temple, or the palace of the king.  "The word came to the Hebrews from Babylonia, and literally signifies `Great House.'"[12]
