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.
The similes in Amos 3:5 do not affirm the same as those in Amos 3:4, but contain the new thought, that Israel has deserved the destruction which threatens it. Pach, a snare, and mōqēsh, a trap, are frequently used synonymously; but here they are distinguished, pach denoting a bird-net, and mōqēsh a springe, a snare which holds the bird fast.
