Proverbs 14:6 says a scoffer seeks wisdom and finds none — the same 'seek but not find' dynamic as those seeking God's word in Amos.

Romans 9:31-33 describes Israel pursuing righteousness but stumbling – a parallel to seeking but not finding because they rejected Christ.

Romans 11:7-10 says Israel did not obtain what they sought due to hardening – same fruitless search for God's truth.

2 Timothy 3:7 describes people always learning but never reaching truth – a direct parallel to this fruitless search for God's word.

1 Samuel 3:1 notes the word of the LORD was rare – the same famine of revelation that drives this desperate search.

Proverbs 29:18 says without prophetic vision people cast off restraint – this famine of the word similarly leaves people without guidance.

Lamentations 2:9 describes the same famine of God's word — 'the law is no more, prophets find no vision' — directly echoing the search without finding.

Ezekiel 7:26 explicitly states 'they will seek a vision from the prophet' but it will perish — directly parallel to the failed search for God's word.

Ezekiel 3:26 shows God silencing the prophet so he cannot speak, paralleling the withholding of God's word that people seek in vain.

Matthew 11:25 says God hides truth from the wise, similar to Amos where people seek the word but cannot find it.
