Amos1:15
Verſe 15. And their king ſhall go into captivity] Where he may find as little favour as Zedekiab did with Nebuchadnezzar, Valerian with Sapores the Perſian, Baiazet with Tamerlan the Scythian: and not ſo much as Gilimer king of Vandals with Bellizarius, of whom he requeſted (and obtained) theſe three things, a loafe, a ſpunge, and an harp: a loafe to relieve him, a ſpunge to wipe his weeping eyes, and an harpe to cheer him up in his captivity.
He and his Princes together] Lords and loſels ſhall fare alike: the ſword ſpares neither: And in hell Potentes potenter torquebuntur Mighty men ſhall be mightily tormented.
