Amos

AMOS prophesied in Israel about the same time as HOSEA: and was called from following the cattle to denounce GOD'S judgments to the people of Israel, and the neighbouring nations, for their repeated crimes, in which they continued without repentance.

1. 1 Chapter 1 The prophet threatens Damascus, Gaza, Tyre, Edom, and Ammon with the judgments of God, for their obstinacy in sin.
2. 2 Chapter 2 The judgments with which God threatens Moab, Juda, and Israel for their sins, and their ingratitude.
3. 3 Chapter 3 The evils that shall fall upon Israel for their sins.
4. 4 Chapter 4 The Israelites are reproved for their oppressing the poor, for their idolatry, and their incorrigibleness.
5. 5 Chapter 5 A lamentation for Israel: an exhortation to return to God.
6. 6 Chapter 6 The desolation of Israel for their pride and luxury.
7. 7 Chapter 7 The prophet sees, in three visions, evils coming upon Israel: he is accused of treason by the false priest of Bethel.
8. 8 Chapter 8 Under the figure of a hook, which bringeth down the fruit, the approaching desolation of Israel is foreshewed for their avarice and injustices.
9. 9 Chapter 9 The certainty of the desolation of Israel: the restoring of the tabernacle of David, and the conversion of the Gentiles to the church; which shall flourish for ever.
