Clarke's Amos 8:2 Bible Commentary
A basket of summer fruit - כלוב קיץ kelub kayits, the end is come - בא הקץ ba hakkets: here is a paronomasia or play upon the words kayits, summer fruit, and kets, the end, both coming from similar roots. See the note on Ezekiel 7:2 (note), where there is a similar play on the same word.
I will not again pass by them any more - I will be no longer their Guardian.
Wesley's Amos 8:2 Bible Commentary
8:2 The end - Of God's patience towards Israel, the end of their ripening, they are now fully ripe, fit to be gathered.Pass by them - God had with admirable patience spared, but now he will no more pardon or spare.
