Introduction to Amos
AMOS was cotemporary with Hosea, Joel and Isaiah, and prophesied a little sooner than Isaiah. His name signifies a burden; in allusion to which we may say, that his word was the burden of the LORD. His style is frequently concise and sententious, which makes it somewhat obscure. He brings many reproofs, allusions and arguments from his country-employment. But they are fitted with admirable skill, and beautified with an inimitable eloquence.

1. He begins with threatenings against the neighbouring nations, chap. 1, 2.
   
   
2. Then calls Israel to account, for their idolatry, ingratitude and incorrigibleness, chap. 3, 4.
   
   
3. He calls them to repentance, chap. 5.
   
   
4. Foretells the tribulations that were coming upon them, chap. 6.
   
   
5. Some particular judgments, chap. 7.
   
   
6. And after other reproofs and threatenings, chap. 8, 9.,
   
   
7. Concludes with a promise of the Messiah, chap. 10.
