According to Amos, the type of famine God' said He would send upon the people of Israel was
Answer Details
In the Bible (Amos 8:11), the type of famine that God said he would send upon the people of Israel was not hearing the word of the Lord. The verse says, "Behold, the days are coming," declares the Lord God, "when I will send a famine on the land—not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord." This means that God would withdraw his prophetic word from the people, and they would be left in spiritual darkness and without guidance. The people would long for a word from God but would not find it, as there would be no prophets to speak to them on His behalf. Amos did not mention hunger for baskets of summer fruits or thirst for water as the type of famine God would send upon the people of Israel, as stated in the other options.
