Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Amos 4:12

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

12. Therefore —as all chastisements have failed to make thee "return unto Me." thus will I do unto thee —as I have threatened ( Amos 4:2 ; Amos 4:3 ). prepare to meet thy God —God is about to inflict the last and worst judgment on thee, the extinction of thy nationality; consider then what preparation thou canst make for encountering Him as thy foe ( Jeremiah 46:14 ; Luke 14:31 ; Luke 14:32 ). But as that would be madness to think of ( Isaiah 27:4 ; Ezekiel 22:14 ; Hebrews 10:31 ), see what can be done towards mitigating the severity of the coming judgment, by penitence ( Isaiah 27:5 ; 1 Corinthians 11:31 ). This latter exhortation is followed up in Amos 5:4 ; Amos 5:6 ; Amos 5:8 ; Amos 5:14 ; Amos 5:15 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-13" class="com-number"
