Introduction
The prophet reproves his people for indulging themselves in luxurious ease, and forming alliances with their powerful idolatrous neighbors, Amos 6:1 . He asks if their lands or their lot be better than their own, Amos 6:2 , that they should choose to worship the gods of the heathen, and forsake Jehovah. Then follows an amplification of the sin which the prophet reproves, Amos 6:3-6 ; to which he annexes very awful threatenings, confirmed by the oath of Jehovah, Amos 6:7 , Amos 6:8 . He next particularly specifies the punishment of their sins by pestilence, Amos 6:9-11 ; by famine, or a drought that should harden the earth so that it could not be tilled, Amos 6:12 ; and by the sword of the Assyrians, Amos 6:14 .
