Amos 1:2
_ _ will roar — as a lion (Joel 3:16). Whereas Jehovah is there represented roaring in Israel’s behalf, here He roars against her (compare Psalms 18:13; Jeremiah 25:30).
_ _ from Zion ... Jerusalem — the seat of the theocracy, from which ye have revolted; not from Dan and Beth-el, the seat of your idolatrous worship of the calves.
_ _ habitations ... mourn — poetical personification. Their inhabitants shall mourn, imparting a sadness to the very habitations.
_ _ Carmel — the mountain promontory north of Israel, in Asher, abounding in rich pastures, olives, and vines. The name is the symbol of fertility. When Carmel itself “withers,” how utter the desolation! (Song of Songs 7:5; Isaiah 33:9; Isaiah 35:2; Jeremiah 50:19; Nahum 1:4). |
Amos 1:2
Will roar — Alluding to the roaring of an hungry lion for prey. Jerusalem — The city God had chosen where he dwelt, the seat of God's instituted worship, and the royal seat of the kingdom as God had settled it, from which in both respects the ten tribes had revolted. The habitations — Where the shepherds found pasturage they pitch their tents, and dwelt therein that they might attend their flocks. And this was the delight and wealth of these men; alluding to which Amos expresses the wealth and delight of the kingdom of Israel. Shall wither — Either blasted, or dried up with drought, and turned into barrenness. So the whole kingdom of the ten tribes, though as fruitful as Carmel should be made horrid and desolate as a wilderness. |
Amos 1:2
And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top (d) of Carmel shall wither.
(d) Whatever is fruitful and pleasant in Israel, will shortly perish. |

Hosea 13:8 I will meet them as a bear [that is] bereaved [of her whelps], and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.

So two [or] three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 33:9 The earth mourneth [and] languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed [and] hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off [their fruits].

Joel 1:16-18 Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, [yea], joy and gladness from the house of our God? ... How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
