Amos6:11
11 For behold the LORD commandeth , and he will smite the great house with breaches , and the little house with clefts .
Consider this well: it seems to be the continued speech of him who took care of the dead, ver. 10.
God provoked by our sins hath sent out thy Enemies: War, Famine and Pestilence all come commission'd of God and when the Arrow is shot 'twill hit and kill.
The Palaces of great men, and their Families,
shall have great breaches made in them, by which they shall be ruin'd.
The Cottages, and lesser dwellings of poor men with their Families.
Shall by lesser stroaks be ruin'd, their Clefts shall be enough to do this. All shall be overthrown, and we must submit to it.
Marginal references: Or, droppings.
