Amos 3 Commentary

Amos reminds the Israelites of their special covenant relationship with the LORD, the violation of which requires special punishment.

Amos uses a series of rhetorical questions to announce judgment on the disobedient Israelites.

Amos describes the oppressions and tumult within Samaria and predicts that God will use a foreign nation to judge His own people. As a result, the altars of Bethel and the great houses in Israel will be destroyed.
