  2. Exposition

What is the LORD going to do?

Amos 5:17 (ESV)

17 and in all vineyards there shall be wailing, for I will pass through your midst,”says the LORD.

The Lord himself threatens to pass through Israel's midst as he had once passed through the land of Egypt and destroyed the firstborn of Pharaoh’s land (Exodus 12:12).1 On that occasion the Lord passed over the Israelites (Exodus 12:13).
