HEBREW WORD STUDY – HER SONG OF SORROW
Amos 8:11: “Behold the days are coming, saith the Lord that I will bring a famine in the land, not a famine of bread or a thirst for water but of hearing the words of the Lord.” “Water water everywhere and all the boards did shrink Water water everywhere and...
