Amos 6:7 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Therefore; for this sin of unseasonable feasting added to all former sins; much like that Isaiah 22:14. Now shall they go captive, who ruled others, and whose character you have Amos 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 Amos 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.

Amos 6:7

7 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.
