Amos 6:4. That lie upon beds of ivory,
They were men of wealth, who spent their money upon all manner of luxuries while the poor of the land were perishing through want.
Amos 6:4. And stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
It was, as I have said, a time of danger, when war was at the gates; but the people were so careless that they lived as if peace were established for ever, and the enemy could never touch them. Their expenditure was at a high rate for self-indulgence, and for that only.
