Outline and brief summary
The second half of Amos 6 can be outlined as follows:
- • Lord has sworn: destruction upon Israel (6:8-14)
- a. the Lord hates and will deliver up the proud and their spoil (8)
- a. Israel shall be destroyed (9-11)
- b. Israel has become a rocky, fruitless field (12-13)
- a. the Lord will raise up a nation against Israel (14)
Rather than starting with “Woe to ...” this section begins with the Lord swearing by himself, the strongest oath possible (6:8). The lament in 5:1-3 was that Israel would lose nine tenths of her children. But here, out of ten, none will be left (6:9-10). Israel will finally fear the name of the Lord (6:11). One does not run horses on rocks for fear of slipping, and one does not plow on rocks. But Israel has done the equivalent, will reap nothing good, and has itself become a rocky field devoid of fruit unto the Lord. Injustice rules, the fruit of righteousness has been turned into poison, and the people rejoice in their own strength (6:12-13). The Lord will therefore raise up a nation against Israel (6:14).
