13 public-domain excerpts on Amos 2, from the church fathers to the Puritans.

Calvin 8 Matthew Henry 3 Spurgeon 1 John Wesley 1

“We need often to be reminded of the mercies we have received; which add much to the evil of the sins we have committed. They had helps for their souls, which taught them how to make good use of their earthly enjoyments, and were therefore more valuable. Faithful ministers are great blessings to any people; but it is God that raises them up to be so. Sinners' own consciences will witness that he has not been wanting to them in the means of grace. They did what they could to lead believers aside. …”

— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Amos 2:9–30 (Public Domain)
