Amos 4:1-5

Back to Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible

Back to Amos

Israel is reproved. (1-5) Their impenitence shown. (6-13)

1-5 What is got by extortion is commonly used to provide for the flesh, and to fulfil the lusts thereof. What is got by oppression cannot be enjoyed with satisfaction. How miserable are those whose confidence in unscriptural observances only prove that they believe a lie! Let us see to it that our faith, hope, and worship, are warranted by the Divine word.
