Amos 4 is the fourth chapter of the Book of Amos in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.[1][2] In the Hebrew Bible it is a part of the Book of the Twelve Minor Prophets.[3][4] This book contains the prophecies attributed to the prophet Amos, especially the denunciation of Israel's nobles as Israel is reproved for oppression, Amos 4:1–3, for idolatry, Amos 4:4,5, and for their incorrigibleness, Amos 4:6–13.[5] Jennifer Dines treats Amos 3:1-5:17 as a single literary unit,[6] whereas John Nelson Darby treats each chapter, except for chapters 1 and 2, as "a distinct prophecy".[7]
