Matthew Poole and continuators on Amos 4:5

5 And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven , and proclaim and publish the free-offerings ; for this liketh you , O ye children of Israel , saith the Lord GOD .

As all the rest of your will-worship, so this also against the express Law, Lev. 2.11. but yet you will persist in it, and do so at your peril, try whether it end in good to you.

Publickly, frequently and earnestly perswade your people to voluntary Sacrifices, in which you think to please me, but you offer them all to Idols, this your Religion is impiety.

As you invented it, so it pleaseth you, and you will not be reclaimed;

Ye Idolatrous Apostate Israelites,

for these you shall be punisht by the Lord your God.
