Āmósīshū 4:8 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 4:8

So two [or] three cities wandered unto one city, to drink
water
Two or three cities, that is, the inhabitants of them, being without water, went up and down in quest of any city or place where they could find water for themselves and cattle to drink: but they were not satisfied;
could not get enough for their present use and much less to carry back with them to supply them for any length of time; such a scarcity there was of it in other parts; see ( 1 Kings 18:5 1 Kings 18:6 ) ; yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord;
this had no more effect upon them than the other to relinquish their former courses, and return unto the Lord by humiliation and repentance.
