The word "calamity" in Hebrew is "רָעָה" (ra'ah), which can mean evil, disaster, or misfortune. This term is used to describe events that bring destruction or distress. In the historical context of Amos, calamities such as invasions, natural disasters, or other forms of judgment were often seen as consequences of the people's disobedience to God.
