In this chapter, I. God, by the prophet, proceeds in a like controversy with Moab as before with other nations, Amos 2:1–3. II. He shows what quarrel he had with Judah, Amos 2:4–5. III. He at length begins his charge against Israel, to which all that goes before is but an introduction. Observe, 1.

Here is, I. The judgment of Moab, another of the nations that bordered upon Israel. They are reckoned with and shall be punished for three transgressions and for four, as those before. Now, 1. Moab’s fourth transgression, as theirs who were before set to the bar, was cruelty.

Here, I. God puts his people Israel in mind of the great things he has done for them, in putting them into possession of the land of Canaan, the greatest part of which these ten tribes now enjoyed, Amos 2:9–10.
