Commentary on Amos 5:3

Theological / Devotional

By a thousand. So severe would be the chastisement of God upon Israel that only a tenth of a city’s inhabitants would be left. The same ratio would apply to the small cities and towns also. The covetousness of Israel (see on ch. 2:7) results in loss, not gain.
