SIL Translator’s Notes on Amos 3:2

3:2a “Only you have I known from all the families of the earth;

“Of all the tribes of the earth, I have chosen only you (plur.).
-or-
“I chose you (plur.) alone ⌊when I looked at all⌋ the clans in the world.

3:2b therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.”

Therefore, ⌊this is why⌋ I will punish you (plur.) all for your sins.”
-or-

Because you abused this honor,⌋ I will punish you for your wrong doing.”
