The Prophecy of Amos

Chapter 1 - The prophet threatens Damascus, Gaza, Tyre, Edom, and Ammon with the judgments of God, for their obstinacy in sin. Chapter 2 - The judgments with which God threatens Moab, Juda, and Israel for their sins, and their ingratitude. Chapter 3 - The evils that shall fall upon Israel for their sins. Chapter 4 - The Israelites are reproved for their oppressing the poor, for their idolatry, and their incorrigibleness. Chapter 5 - A lamentation for Israel: an exhortation to return to God. Chapter 6 - The desolation of Israel for their pride and luxury. Chapter 7 - The prophet sees, in three visions, evils coming upon Israel: he is accused of treason by the false priest of Bethel. 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. 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.  Haydock Commentary notes for The Prophecy of Amos
