Amos 4:10

4:10 “I sent against you a plague like one of the Egyptian plagues. ¹ 

I killed your young men with the sword,

along with the horses you had captured.

I made the stench from the corpses ²  rise up into your nostrils.

Still you did not come back to me.”

The Lord is speaking!

Amos 5:17

5:17 In all the vineyards there will be wailing,

for I will pass through ³  your midst,” says the Lord.

[4:10]  ¹ tn Heb “in the manner [or “way”] of Egypt.”

[4:10]  ² tn Heb “of your camps [or “armies”].”

[5:17]  ³ sn The expression pass through your midst alludes to Exod 12:12, where the Lord announced he would “pass through” Egypt and bring death to the Egyptian firstborn.
