Amos 6:8
the excellency of Jacob— (Psalms 47:4). The sanctuary which was the great glory of the covenant-people [VATABLUS], (Ezekiel 24:21). The priesthood, and kingdom, and dignity, conferred on them by God. These, saith God, are of no account in My eyes towards averting punishment [CALVIN].
hate his palaces—as being the storehouses of "robbery" (Amos 3:10, Amos 3:15). How sad a change from God's love of Zion's gates (Psalms 87:2) and palaces (Psalms 48:3, Psalms 48:13), owing to the people's sin!
the city—collectively: both Zion and Samaria (Amos 6:1).
all that is therein—literally, "its fulness"; the multitude of men and of riches in it (compare Psalms 24:1).
