Amos — Chapter 8
These annotations are from the original 1609 Douay Old Testament, the first complete English Catholic Bible translation, produced by English scholars in exile at the English College of Douai. The archaic spelling is preserved.
This content was digitized from the original 1609 Douay (Old Testament) and 1582 Rheims (New Testament) print editions by OCR. The OCR process sometimes confused print page numbers with verse numbers, and may have assigned annotations to the wrong chapter. Chapter and verse labels on this page reflect the OCR output from the original print pagination and may not correspond to canonical Scripture chapter/verse numbers. For canonical reference, consult a standard Douay-Rheims edition. The annotation texts themselves are authentic 1609/1582 Douay-Rheims content.
Verse 1
By this vision of a hook is signified, that not only the neerer parts of the ten tribes should be brought into captiuitie, but also the rest which were further off: as fruit of trees, which cannot be gathered with the hand, is drawen with a hooke.
Verse 9
In their great prosperitie, when they least suspect, calamitie shal fal vpon them.
Verse 11
It can not be doubted but in the siege there was want of bread, drink, & of other victuals: but greater want of spiritual foode.
