      1;  The judgments of the grasshoppers,
      4;  and of the fire are diverted by the prayer of Amos.
      7;  By the wall of a plumbline is signified the rejection of
         Israel.
     10;  Amaziah complains of Amos.
     14;  Amos shews his calling;
     16;  and Amaziah's judgment.

     * grasshoppers.  or, green worms.
       {Govai,} in Arabic {gabee,} "locusts," probably in their
       caterpillar state, in which they are most destructive.  This
       is supposed to have been an emblem of the first invasion of
       the Assyrians.

     * mowings.
         Or rather, feedings or grazings, as the people of the East
       make no hay.  This was probably in the month of March, which
       is the only time of the year that the Arabs to this day feed
       their horses with grass.
