Matthew Poole and continuators on Amos 6:13

13 Ye which rejoyce in a thing of nought , which say , Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength .

Glorying with a Joy and Satisfaction, with Hope and Confidence.

In your Victories, Alliances, Fortifications and Idols, all which draw you away from God, and from seeking him as he will be found.

Tell the Prophets that reprove you and foretell your downfal, you say to them, notwithstanding all that God threatens, yet

you have rais'd your selves to dominion and Greatness by your Wisdom, Courage and Success, and by the same you will maintain it, and so you put off the day of Evil.
