Chapter 6 dwells upon the
false confidence that deceived the heads of Israel. A
similar judgment to that of Calneh and Hamath might fall
upon Israel. Their chief men gave themselves up to
luxury, as though all were prosperity. They had no sense
of the affliction of Joseph. They should be the first to
go into captivity. Jehovah would give up Israel to
desolation. He would abhor the excellency of Jacob. For
they trusted in that which was but vanity—in their
golden calf. But He whom they despised would raise up an
enemy that should afflict them from Hamath to the borders
of Egypt.
