(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Amo 5:1-27. Elegy over the prostrate kingdom: renewed exhortations to repentance: God declares that the coming day of judgment shall be terrible to the scorners who despise it: Ceremonial services are not acceptable to him where true piety exists not: Israel shall therefore be removed far eastward.
lamentation - an elegy for the destruction coming on you. Compare Eze 32:2, “take up,” namely, as a mournful burden (Eze 19:1; Eze 27:2).
