Notes

Amos 9:9–10

Even the Lord’s most severe judgment is just. God destroys only those who persist in sin. He does not lose a single faithful person. The Lord saves the righteous, who remain faithful to him.

Amos 7:1–9:10

This section contains five visions. It is helpful to compare how these visions develop with the judgments listed earlier in Amos 4:6–11.

The judgments listed there include:

famine,
drought,
destruction of crops,
plagues, and
widespread destruction.
