Thus saith:
Amos, says Abp. Newcome, first prophesies against the Syrians, Philistines, Tyrians, Edomites, Ammonites, and Moabites, who dwelt in the neighbourhood of the twelve tribes, and had occasionally become their enemies and persecutors. Having thus taught his countrymen that the providence of God extended to other nations, he briefly mentions the idolatrous practices and consequent destruction of Judah, and then passes on to his proper subject, which was to exhort and reprove the kingdom of Israel, and to denounce against it the Divine judgments.
For three:
"Ye that put far awayª° the evilª day,ª and cause the seatª° of violenceª to come near;ª° ... Therefore¹ now¹ shall they go captiveª° with the firstª that go captive,ª° and the banquetª of them that stretchedª° themselves shall be removed.ª°" {Ams 6:3-7} + "For [so] it was,¹ that¹ the childrenª of Israelª had sinnedª° against the LORDª their God,ª which had brought them upª°¹ out of the landª¹ of Egypt,ª from under¹¹ the handª of Pharaohª kingª of Egypt,ª and had fearedª° otherª gods,ª ... Therefore the LORDª was very² angryª°¹ with Israel,ª and removedª° them out of¹¹ his sight:ª there was none¹ leftª° but¹ the tribeª of Judahª only.¹" {2Kg 17:7-18} + "Because¹¹ they obeyedª° not¹ the voiceª of the LORDª their God,ª but transgressedª°¹ his covenant,ª [and]¹ all¹ that¹ Mosesª the servantª of the LORDª commanded,ª° and would not¹ hearª° [them], nor¹ doª° [them]." {2Kg 18:12} + "And Aholahª played the harlotª° when she was¹ mine;² and she dotedª° on¹ her lovers,ª° on¹ the Assyriansª [her] neighbours,ª ... Wherefore¹ I have deliveredª° her into the handª of her lovers,ª° into the handª of the Assyrians,ªª upon¹ whom¹ she doted.ª°" {Ezk 23:5-9} + "Hearª° the wordª of the LORD,ª ye childrenª of Israel:ª for¹ the LORDª hath a controversyª with¹ the inhabitantsª° of the land,ª because¹ [there is] no¹ truth,ª nor¹ mercy,ª nor¹ knowledgeª of Godª in the land.ª ... By swearing,ª° and lying,ª° and killing,ª° and stealing,ª° and committing adultery,ª° they break out,ª° and bloodª touchethª° blood.ª" {Hsa 4:1-2} + "Whoredomª and wineª and new wineª take awayª° the heart.ª ... I will not¹ punishª°¹ your daughtersª when¹ they commit whoredom,ª° nor your spousesª when¹ they commit adultery:ª° for¹ themselves¹ are separatedª° with¹ whores,ª° and they sacrificeª° with¹ harlots:ª therefore the peopleª [that] doth not¹ understandª° shall fall.ª°" {Hsa 4:11-14} + "They are all hotª°¹ as an oven,ª and have devouredª°¹ their judges;ª° all¹ their kingsª are fallen:ª° [there is] none¹ among them that callethª° unto¹ me. ... And the prideª of Israelª testifiethª° to his face:ª and they do not¹ returnª° to¹ the LORDª their God,ª nor¹ seekª° him for all¹ this.¹" {Hsa 7:7-10} + "They¹ have set up kings,ª° but not¹ by¹ me: they have made princes,²°¹ and I knewª° [it] not:¹ of their silverª and their goldª have they madeª° them idols,ª that¹ they may be cut off.ª° ... For¹ from Israelª¹ [was] it¹ also: the workmanª madeª° it;¹ therefore it [is] not¹ God:ª but¹ the calfª of Samariaª shall be¹ broken in pieces.ª" {Hsa 8:4-6} + "And now¹ they sinª° more and more,ª° and have madeª° them molten imagesª of their silver,ª¹ [and] idolsª according to their own understanding,ª all¹ of it the workª of the craftsmen:ª they¹ sayª° of them, Let the menª that sacrificeª° kissª° the calves.ª ... Therefore¹ they shall be¹ as the morningª cloud,ª and as the earlyª° dewª that passeth away,ª° as the chaffª [that] is driven with the whirlwindª° out of the floor,ª¹ and as the smokeª out of the chimney.ª¹" {Hsa 13:2-3} + "Are thereª yet¹ the treasuresª of wickednessª°² in the houseª of the wicked,ª and the scantª measureª [that is] abominable?ª° ... For the statutesª of Omriª are kept,ª° and all¹ the worksª of the houseª of Ahab,ª and ye walk²°¹ in their counsels;ª that¹ I should makeª° thee a desolation,ª and the inhabitantsª° thereof an hissing:ª therefore ye shall bearª° the reproachª of my people.ª" {Mic 6:10-16}
because:
"Forasmuchª therefore¹ as your treadingª° [is] upon¹ the poor,ª and ye takeª° from¹ him burdensª of wheat:ª ye have builtª° housesª of hewn stone,ª but ye shall not¹ dwellª° in them; ye have plantedª° pleasantª vineyards,ª but ye shall not¹ drinkª°¹ wineª of them. ... For¹ I knowª° your manifoldª transgressionsª and your mightyª sins:ª they afflictª° the just,ª they takeª° a bribe,ª and they turn asideª° the poorª in the gateª [from their right]." {Ams 5:11-12} + "Hearª° this,¹ O ye that swallow upª° the needy,ª even to make²° the poorª°² of the landª to fail,ª° ... That we may buyª° the poorª for silver,ª and the needyª for¹ a pair of shoes;ª [yea], and sellª° the refuseª of the wheat?ª" {Ams 8:4-6} + "Woeª unto [them that are] mightyª to drinkª° wine,ª and men²¹ of strengthª to mingleª° strong drink:ª ... Which justifyª° the wickedª forª reward,ª and take awayª° the righteousnessª of the righteousª from¹ him!" {Isa 5:22-23} + "That make a man² an offenderª°¹ for a word,ª and lay a snareª° for him that reprovethª° in the gate,ª and turn asideª° the justª for a thing of nought.ª" {Isa 29:21} + "And they have castª° lotsª for¹ my people;ª and have givenª° a boyª for an harlot,ª° and soldª° a girlª for wine,ª that they might drink.ª°" {Jol 3:3} + "The childrenª also of Judahª and the childrenª of Jerusalemª have ye soldª° unto the Grecians,ªª that¹ ye might remove them farª° from¹¹ their border.ª" {Jol 3:6} + "Who hateª° the good,ª and loveª° the evil;ª who pluck offª° their skinª from off¹¹ them, and their fleshª from off¹¹ their bones;ª ... Who¹ also eatª° the fleshª of my people,ª and flayª° their skinª from off¹¹ them; and they breakª° their bones,ª and chop them in pieces,ª° as¹ for the pot,ª and as fleshª withinª the caldron.ª" {Mic 3:2-3}
