Therefore; for this sin of unseasonable feasting added to all former sins; much like that Isa_22:14.
Now shall they go captive, who ruled others, and whose character you have Amo_6:1-3, &c., who put far from them the evil day, &c., these shall certainly be carried captive.
With the first that go captive; and as they deserve by their sins, so shall they be carried away the first of any; God’s hand in punishing them shall be as eminent as their hand was in sinning.
The banquet, the feastings of voluptuous ones, shall cease.
That stretched themselves: see Amo_6:4.
Shall be removed; God will send the Assyrians to take away the banquet, and to bring in a bill, a reckoning, for these secure sinners, who shall be removed too, as well as their banquet is; they shall go into captivity, and there in sorrows dearly pay for all their luxury, inhumanity, and security.
