Answer Details
According to Amos, God decided to raise up a nation that would fight and oppress Israel because the people rejected Him and sold the righteous for silver. In the book of Amos, God expresses His displeasure at Israel's mistreatment of the poor and needy and their failure to follow His commandments. He accuses the people of selling the righteous for silver and rejecting Him. As a result, God declares that He will raise up a nation against them, which will oppress and afflict them. This nation is later identified as Assyria, which eventually conquered and destroyed Israel.
