Amos 3:1

Listen, you Israelites, to this message which the Lord is proclaiming against ¹  you! This message is for the entire clan I brought up ²  from the land of Egypt:

2Ch 20:15; Isa 46:3; Isa 48:12; Jer 8:3; Jer 31:1; Jer 33:24-26; Eze 37:16,17; Ho 4:1; Ho 5:1; Am 2:10; Mic 3:1; Re 2:29

¹ tn Or “about.”

² tn One might expect a third person verb form (“he brought up”), since the Lord apparently refers to himself in the third person in the preceding sentence. This first person form, however, serves to connect this message to the earlier indictment (2:10) and anticipates the words of the following verse.
