Amos 4:6
Israel’s Refusal to Repent Despite God’s Warnings This section shows how God tried to warn Israel through many troubles and disasters, hoping they would return to Him. God sent famine, drought, crop failures, plagues, and loss in battle. But the people would not repent or listen to His warnings. Instead, they continued in their sin. Because they ignored every chance to change, God warns that greater judgment is coming. The lesson is that when God sends trouble, it is to turn people back to Him. If they do not listen, worse will come.v. 6: God says He gave them “cleanness of teeth” in all their cities and “lack of bread in all your places.” This means He sent famine, so the people had nothing to eat and their teeth stayed clean because there was no food. God did this to make them see their need and return to Him. But they did not listen or change.
