<p class="tab-1">In this chapter, I. God, by the prophet, proceeds in a like controversy with Moab as before with other nations, <a class="bibleref" title="Amos.2.1-Amos.2.3" href="/passage/?search=Amos.2.1-Amos.2.3">Amos 2:1-3</a>. II. He shows what quarrel he had with Judah, <a class="bibleref" title="Amos.2.4,Amos.2.5" href="/passage/?search=Amos.2.4,Amos.2.5"><span class="bibleref" title="Amos.2.4">Amos 2:4</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Amos.2.5">5</span></a>. III. He at length begins his charge against Israel, to which all that goes before is but an introduction. Observe, 1. The sins they are charged with—injustice, oppression, whoredom, <a class="bibleref" title="Amos.2.6-Amos.2.8" href="/passage/?search=Amos.2.6-Amos.2.8">Amos 2:6-8</a>. 2. The aggravations of those sins—the temporal and spiritual mercies God had bestowed upon them, for which they had made him such ungrateful returns, <a class="bibleref" title="Amos.2.9-Amos.2.12" href="/passage/?search=Amos.2.9-Amos.2.12">Amos 2:9-12</a>. 3. God’s complaint of them for their sins (<a class="bibleref" title="Amos.2.13" href="/passage/?search=Amos.2.13">Amos 2:13</a>) and his threatenings of their ruin, and their utter inability to prevent it, <a class="bibleref" title="Amos.2.14-Amos.2.16" href="/passage/?search=Amos.2.14-Amos.2.16">Amos 2:14-16</a>.</p>
