A M O S. CHAP. VIII. Sinful times are here attended with sorrowful times, so necessary is the connexion between them; it is threatened here again and again that the laughter shall be turned into mourning. I. By the vision of "basket of summer-fruit" is signified the hastening on of the ruin threatened ( Amos 8:1-3 ) and that shall change their note. II. Oppressors are here called to an account for their abusing the poor; and their destruction is foretold, which will set them a mourning, Amos 8:4-10 . III. A famine of the word of God is here made the punishment of a people that go a whoring after other gods ( Amos 8:11-14 ); yet for this, which is the most mournful judgment of all, they are not here brought in mourning. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-3" class="com-number"
