Amos 3:1

[A key word in this chapter is Hebr. paqad, which means that a superior examines and inspects a subordinate. It is used in the sense of counting, see Num. 1:19. The meaning can be to reward or punish depending on the result of the summing up of the accounts. The word is used here to frame this section, see verses 2 and 14 (twice). The chapter has seven sections that form a chiasm:
A The Lord will inspect/punish, verses 1-2
B Coming destruction – lions and prey, verses 3-8
C Foreign palace (Hebr. armenot), verse 9
D Central verse: Israel does not do right, verse 10

A´ The Lord will inspect/punish, verses 13-15]
