Amos 4:5 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven; as all the rest of your will-worship, so this also is against the express law, Leviticus 2:11, but yet you will persist in it; and do so at your peril, try whether it end in good to you. Proclaim and publish the free-offerings; publicly, frequently, and earnestly persuade your people to voluntary sacrifices, in which you think to please me; but you offer them all to idols; this your religion is impiety. This liketh you; as you invented it, so it pleaseth you, and you will not be reclaimed. Ye children of Israel; ye idolatrous, apostate Israelites. Saith the Lord God; for these you shall be punished by the Lord your God.

Amos 4:5

5 And offerc a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
