Amos 4:3 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

And ye shall go out, &c.— And ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow after the other, and shall betake yourselves to the mountains of Mona, saith the Lord. But Houbigant supposes the metaphor in the preceding verses to be kept up; and he translates it, And ye shall come out by the apertures which are nearest to you, and ye shall be cast into nets, or receptacles. He conceives the meaning of the metaphor to be, that these fishes, being caught with hooks and nets, should be taken out thence and cast into a kind of well, a receptacle, for future use.
