What does the Bible say about judgment in the Book of Amos?

Answered in 1 source

The Book of Amos warns that God will not clear the guilty and must punish sin due to His righteousness.

The Book of Amos explicitly declares that God Almighty will by no means clear the guilty, emphasizing that His rule is both righteous and just. Sin cannot be tolerated by Him and must be punished, whether it is on a national or individual level. Amos begins his prophetic message by outlining the impending judgments on surrounding nations, establishing that divine judgment is inevitable for transgressions. This illustrates the principle that with privileged status, like Israel’s, comes great responsibility, and failure to uphold that privilege leads to severe consequences.
