John Trapp on Amos 6:7

Verſe 7. Therefore now ſhall they go captive with the firſt] Heb. in the head of thoſe that go captive: as they have been firſt in the degrees of honour, and of ſin, ſo ſhall they be now of puniſhment, according to that ſaying of the Centuriſt[illegible: 1 letter], Ingentia beneficia, Magdeburg. Eſa. 50.11. ingentia flagitia, ingentia ſupplicia. This they ſhall have of Gods hand, they ſhall lie down in ſorrow: yea many ſorrowes ſhall be to theſe wicked ones, Pſal. 32.10. theſe mercileſſe men ſhall not have the leaſt mercy ſhewed them, Iam. 2.13. God will ſurely ſet off all hearts from ſuch (as he did from Haman, for whom in his miſery not one man openeth his mouth once to intercede) and he will puniſh magnum luxum magno luctu, as One ſaith, great luxury with great neceſſity.

and the banquet of them that ſtretched themſelves] They ſhall neither have mind nor mony to make feaſts, that were wont to lay on in all ſorts of ſuperfluities. That prodigall above-mentioned was by a juſt hand of God reduced to extreame penury, and caſt off by all his former acquaintance.Sen[illegible: 3 letters]. That luxurious Roman Apicius (the expences of whoſe kitchin amounted to more then two millions of gold,) having eaten up his eſtate, and fearing poverty poyſoued himſelf: leaving behind him ten bookes, of direction how to furniſh and ſet forth a feaſt with all manner of varieties, which now he could ſooner talk of then take of. The word here rendred banquet is taken for a funerall feaſt Jer. 16.5. and ſo ſome think the ſenſe here is;Lively. they ſhall be carried captive into a farr country, and there be deprived of the honour of burialls; which is a judgement elſewhere threatened Jer. 22.18, 19. Aben-Ezra rendreth it, faceſſet canticum the ſong of the wanton ſhall be ſet packing: and for this he alledgeth, that in the Arabick dialect, the root word here uſed, ſignifieth to lift up the voyce, either for joy or grief; The Seventy render it, the neighing of horſes: as noting their immoderate luſt according to Jer. 5.8. And this ſenſe Ribera commendeth.
