According to Amos, this verse means that God is telling the people they will have to leave their homes through broken walls, like cows going out through a gap. It shows that they will lose their fancy things because they didn’t listen to God and made bad choices.

Contradiction with 2 Kings 19:28

This verse indicates that God will put a hook in the nose of the enemy and turn them back, rather than having them go out through breaches as in Amos 4:3.

2 Kings 19:28: Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into mine ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.

Contradiction with Jeremiah 29:11

Promises peace and plans to prosper, which opposes the message of destruction and exile in Amos 4:3.
