Notes from Amos 2

In this chapter,

I. God, by the prophet, proceeds in a like controversy with Moab as before with other nations (v. 1-3).
II. He shows what quarrel he had with Judah (v. 4, 5).
III. He at length begins his charge against Israel, to which all that goes before is but an introduction. Observe,
1. The sins they are charged with-injustice, oppression, whoredom (v. 6-8).
2. The aggravations of those sins-the temporal and spiritual mercies God had bestowed upon them, for which they had made him such ungrateful returns (v. 9-12).
3. God's complaint of them for their sins (v. 13) and his threatenings of their ruin, and their utter inability to prevent it (v. 14-16).
