A M O S. CHAP. VII. In this chapter we have, I. God contending with Israel, by the judgments, but are reprieved, and the judgments turned away at the prayer of Amos, Amos 7:1-6 . 2. God's patience is at length worn out by their obstinacy, and they are rejected, and sentenced to utter ruin, Amos 7:7-9 . II. Israel contending with God, by the opposition given to his prophet. 1. Amaziah informs against Amos ( Amos 7:10 ; Amos 7:11 ) and does what he can to rid the country of him as a public nuisance, Amos 7:12 ; Amos 7:13 . 2. Amos justifies himself in what he did as a prophet ( Amos 7:14 ; Amos 7:15 ) and denounces the judgments of God against Amaziah his prosecutor ( Amos 7:16 ; Amos 7:17 ); for, when the contest is between God and man, it is easy to foresee, it is very easy to foretel, who will come off with the worst of it. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-9" class="com-number"
