Therefore - as all chastisements have failed to make thee “return unto Me.”

thus will I do unto thee - as I have threatened (Amo 4:2, Amo 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 (Jer 46:14; Luk 14:31, Luk 14:32). But as that would be madness to think of (Isa 27:4; Eze 22:14; Heb 10:31), see what can be done towards mitigating the severity of the coming judgment, by penitence (Isa 27:5; 1Co 11:31). This latter exhortation is followed up in Amo 5:4, Amo 5:6, Amo 5:8, Amo 5:14, Amo 5:15.
