In this chapter, following oracles against Israel and Judah and the countries surrounding them in chapters 1 and 2, Amos addresses "Judah and Israel together - the whole family (Amos 3:1) whom [God] had brought up from Egypt". Jennifer Dines treats Amos 3:1-5:17 as a single literary unit, whereas John Nelson Darby treats each chapter, except for chapters 1 and 2, as "a distinct prophecy".
