Matthew Poole and continuators on Amos 3:10

10 For they know not to do right , saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces .

Who oppress others, do it as unlearn'd Lawyers and Judges do, they are shamefully ignorant of the Law of God.

What is equal between man and man they will not consider, nor do they care whether it be done or not.

As men lay up wealth in their treasures, they fill their houses.

Perverting judgment, first condemning the innocent, next seising all as forfeited by Law; so they did no doubt in those times of Rebellion and usurpations, sequestrations and decimations, &c. were then too.

The true name of all their proceedings however palliated.

This intimates to us that the greatest among them were chief Actors herein, vid. Zeph. 1.9. but as they stored up violence, they also treasured up misery and desolation too, as the Heb. elegantly imports.
