Komentaryo sa Amos 3:8: Rashi & Tze'enah Ure'enah

A lion has roared; who will not fear?—So has the Holy One, blessed be He, spoken to the prophets to prophesy. Who will not prophesy?

“The lion has roared, who will not fear, etc.” [3:8]. A lion roars, who does not fear and should the person not be afraid when I have commanded him to be a prophet for Israel.¹⁰Radak, Amos, 3:8.

The Talmud says in [tractate] Yoma, in chapter eight, concerning the verse “for three sins of Israel” [2:6]. Rabbi Jose said: a person who commits a transgression three times, the Holy One forgives him. However, the fourth time the Holy One does not forgive him, as the verse says, “for four I will not respond” [2:6]. That is, the fourth time I will not respond to him.¹¹B. Yoma, 86b.
