Matthew Poole and continuators on Amos 6:7

7 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive , and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed .

For this s[illegible: 1 letter]n of unseasonable Feasting added to all former sins; much like that, Isa. 22.14.

Who ruled others, and whose Character you have ver. 1, 2, 3, &c. who put far from them the evil day, &c. these shall certainly be carried Captive.

And as they deserve by their sins, so shall they be carried away the first of any, Gods hand in punishing them shall be as eminent as their hand was in [illegible: 1 letter]in[illegible: 1 letter]ing.

The Feastings of voluptuous ones shall cease.

Vid. ver. 4. let. t.

God will send the Assyrians to take away the Banquet, and to bring in a Bill, a reckoning, for these secure sinners, who shall be removed too as well as their Banquet is, they shall go into Captivity, and there in sorrows dearly pay for all their luxury, inhumanity and security.
