And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
And the Lord God of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt. Since Amos had threatened that the Israelites would be nowhere safe from the divine judgments, he here shows God's omnipotent ability to execute His threats.
And all that dwell therein shall mourn; and it shall rise up wholly like a flood, and shall be drowned as by the flood of Egypt. God is stated to be the first cause of the mourning of all that dwell in the land, and of its rising like a flood, and of its being drowned as by the flood of Egypt-the threat which is previously uttered, in almost the same words, in Amos 8:8.
