Amos 6:3
_ _ Ye persuade yourselves that “the evil day” foretold by the prophets is “far off,” though they declare it near (Ezekiel 12:22, Ezekiel 12:27). Ye in your imagination put it far off, and therefore bring near violent oppression, suffering it to sit enthroned, as it were, among you (Psalms 94:20). The notion of judgment being far off has always been an incentive to the sinner’s recklessness of living (Ecclesiastes 8:12, Ecclesiastes 8:13; Matthew 24:48). Yet that very recklessness brings near the evil day which he puts far off. “Ye bring on fever by your intemperance, and yet would put it far off” [Calvin]. |
Amos 6:3
Ye — That flatter yourselves the day of darkness foretold, is far off. The seat — The judgment seat which should relieve the oppressed, is made a seat of violence. |
Amos 6:3
Ye that put far away the (d) evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
(d) You that continue still in your wickedness, and think that God's plagues are not at hand, but give yourselves to all idleness, lustfulness, and disorder. |
