Newcome, first prophesies against the Syrians, Philistines, Tyrians, Edomites, Ammonites, and Moabites, who dwelt in the neighbourhood of the twelve tribes, and had occasionally become their enemies and persecutors. Having thus taught his countrymen that the providence of God extended to other nations, he briefly mentions the idolatrous practices and consequent destruction of Judah, and then passes on to his proper subject, which was to exhort and reprove the kingdom of Israel, and to denounce against it the Divine judgments.For three Amos 6:3-7; 2 Kings 17:7-18, 18:12; Ezekiel 23:5-9; Hosea 4:1, 4:2, 4:11-14, 7:7-10, 8:4-6; 13:2, 13:3; Micah 6:10-16 because Amos 5:11, 5:12, 8:4-6; Isaiah 5:22, 5:23, 29:21; Joel 3:3, 3:6; Micah 3:2, 3:3 Reciprocal Exodus 20:17 - thy neighbour's house; Esther 7:4 - But if we; Psalm 10:9 - when; Proverbs 6:16 - six; 22:7 - rich; Isaiah 3:15 - ye beat; 17:3 - fortress; 32:6 - empty; Jeremiah 34:14 - At the; Ezekiel 18:7 - hath not; 22:13 - thy dishonest; Amos 1:3 - For; 2:1 - For three; 4:1 - which oppress; 8:6 - General; Acts 24:26 - hoped; Romans 7:14 - sold; James 2:6 - Do; Revelation 18:13 - slaves Verse 7 pant Amos 4:1; 1 Kings 21:4; Proverbs 28:21; Micah 2:2, 2:9, 7:2, 7:3; Zephaniah 3:3 and turn Amos 5:12; Isaiah 10:2 and a Leviticus 18:8, 18:15; Ezekiel 22:11; 1 Corinthians 5:1 maidor, young womanto profane Leviticus 20:3; 2 Samuel 12:14; Ezekiel 36:20; Romans 2:24 Reciprocal Exodus 20:17 - thy neighbour's house; Leviticus 18:17 - a woman; 20:11 - General; 20:14 - a wife; Deuteronomy 24:14 - General; 27:20 - General; Job 24:4 - turn; 24:10 - they take away; Psalm 10:9 - when; Proverbs 30:14 - to devour; Isaiah 3:15 - ye beat; 32:6 - empty; 57:5 - Enflaming; Ezekiel 22:10 - discovered; Hosea 12:7 - he loveth; Malachi 1:12 - ye have; Luke 20:47 - devour; Acts 24:26 - hoped; James 2:6 - Do Verse 8 laid Exodus 22:26, 22:27; Deuteronomy 24:12-17; Ezekiel 18:7, 18:12 by Amos 6:4; Isaiah 57:7; Ezekiel 23:41; 1 Corinthians 8:10, 10:7, 10:21 they drink Amos 6:6; Judges 9:27; Hosea 4:8 the condemnedor, such as have fined, or, mulctedReciprocal Exodus 32:6 - sat down; Deuteronomy 24:13 - deliver; Esther 1:6 - the beds; Job 22:6 - For thou; 24:10 - they take away; Isaiah 28:1 - drunkards; 57:5 - Enflaming; Ezekiel 33:15 - restore; Hosea 3:1 - love flagons; 7:14 - assemble; Amos 4:1 - Bring Verse 9 I the Genesis 15:16; Exodus 3:8, 34:11; Numbers 21:24; Deuteronomy 2:24-33; Joshua 3:10, 24:8-12; Judges 11:21-23; Nehemiah 9:22-24; Psalm 135:10-12, 136:17-22 whose Numbers 13:28, 13:29, 13:32, 13:33; Deuteronomy 1:28, 2:10, 2:11, 3:11, 9:1-3 I destroyed Joshua 11:21, 11:22; 2 Samuel 23:16-22; Job 18:16; Isaiah 5:24; Malachi 4:1 Reciprocal Genesis 48:22 - Amorite; Deuteronomy 1:7 - the mount; Joshua 5:1 - all the kings; 24:17 - General; 1 Samuel 17:4 - whose height; 1 Kings 14:15 - root up Israel; 1 Chronicles 1:14 - Amorite; Psalm 92:12 - cedar; Isaiah 10:33 - the high ones Verse 10 I brought Exodus 12:51; Nehemiah 9:8-12; Psalm 105:42, 105:43, 136:10, 136:11; Jeremiah 32:20, 32:21; Ezekiel 20:10; Micah 6:4 and led Numbers 14:34; Deuteronomy 2:7, 8:2-4; Nehemiah 9:21; Psalm 95:10; Acts 7:42, 13:18 to possess Numbers 14:31-35; Deuteronomy 1:20, 1:21, 1:39 Reciprocal Joshua 24:17 - General; Amos 3:1 - which; 9:7 - Have not; Matthew 2:23 - He shall; Acts 13:17 - and with; Habakkuk 3:9 - forty Verse 11 I raised 1 Samuel 3:20, 19:20; 1 Kings 17:1, 18:4, 19:16, 20:13, 20:35, 20:41, 22:8; 2 Kings 2:2-5; 6:1, 17:13; 2 Chronicles 36:15; 2 Peter 1:20, 1:21 and Amos 7:12, 7:13; Isaiah 30:10, 30:11; Jeremiah 11:21, 26:11; Micah 2:6; Matthew 21:34-38; Acts 4:18, 5:28, 7:51; 1 Thessalonians 2:15, 2:16 Nazarites Numbers 6:2; Judges 13:4-7; Lamentations 4:7; Luke 1:3-17 Is it Isaiah 5:3, 5:4; Jeremiah 2:5, 2:31; Micah 6:3, 6:4 Reciprocal Ezekiel 25:8 - Seir; Hosea 12:13 - General; Zechariah 9:13 - and raised Verse 12 Reciprocal Numbers 6:2 - to vow; 6:3 - General; Isaiah 28:1 - drunkards; 30:10 - say; Jeremiah 11:21 - Prophesy; 35:5 - Drink; Lamentations 4:7 - Nazarites; Ezekiel 25:8 - Seir; Hosea 12:13 - General; Amos 3:8 - who can; 7:12 - go; 7:13 - prophesy; Micah 2:6 - Prophesy ye; Acts 4:17 - let; 5:40 - they commanded Verse 13 Behold Psalm 78:40; Isaiah 1:14, 7:13, 43:24; Ezekiel 6:9, 16:43; Malachi 2:17 I am pressedetc. or, I will press your place, as a cart full of sheaves pressethReciprocal Job 39:12 - he; Jeremiah 44:22 - could Verse 14 the flight Amos 9:1-3; Job 11:20 *marg.
