Amos Chapter 07 Warning Visions, Amos Accused
 
Chapter VII

Threatened judgments turned aside by the prayer of Amos, ver. 1 - 6. Yet at length they are sentenced to utter ruin, ver. 7 - 9. Amaziah accuses Amos, ver. 10 - 13. Amos justifies himself and denounces the judgment of God against Amaziah, ver. 14 - 17.

1 Thus - This is the first of five prophetic representations of what was coming upon this people. The latter growth - The shooting up of the first growth being too luxuriant, they often eat it down with cattle; but if the second growth were eat up, it marred the whole harvest. Mowed - It is supposed the first mowing of the corn in the blade was for the king's use; and after this the second springing grew up to the harvest.
2 It came to pass - In the vision. By whom - How shall any of Jacob escape, if thou dost cast him down?
3 Repented - This is spoken after the manner of men.
4 Shewed - In vision. Called - Commanded fire from heaven. A part - Of the land too.
7 By a plumb - line - Strongly and beautifully built.
8 Set a plumb - line - I will exactly measure the whole ten tribes. Pass by them - I will no more forbear, but will pull down all that is faulty.
9 The high places - The temples on high mountains built to idols. Of Isaac - The seed of Isaac.
10 In the midst - Openly, and publickly, endeavouring to stir up Israel to sedition or rebellion. The land - The people cannot bear all his harsh predictions.
11 Jeroboam shall die - He nowhere said so, but spake of his house distinguished from his person, as ver.9.
13 The king's court - To which therefore thou oughtest to shew more respect, and not thus to affront the king in his own house.
14 No prophet - Not originally, or by study, or by any human designation. An herdman - By breeding and occupation I was and still am, an herdman. Sycamore fruit - This fruit was good food for man, or cattle.
16 The house of Isaac - The posterity of Isaac.
17 In a polluted land - Among the Heathen. Israel - The ten tribes.
