Amos 3

Amos uses rhetorical questions to illustrate YHWH's inevitable judgment on Israel, chosen from all families yet rebellious, with no escape from punishment for their violence and turmoil. YHWH reveals his confidential plans to prophets, proclaiming doom on Samaria and Israel on the day of visitation, sparing no transgressors.[1][2][5][8]
