Berean Standard Bible
“Hear this word, O house of Israel, this lamentation I take up against you:”
Amos asks Israel to listen to a lament he is raising over them. In the ancient world such a dirge was sung at funerals, so the prophet is in effect mourning a nation that still feels alive and prosperous.
