Isaiah 7:4 (a) These two kings were trouble makers. They sought to destroy GOD's people and GOD's heritage. Their desire was to leave behind them only the debris of GOD's wonderful kingdom of Israel.
Amos 4:11 (a) Israel was so sinful and rebellious that she should have been punished as a firebrand. Instead of this, GOD sent mercy, goodness and grace many times so that He saved them, instead of destroying them.
