205. Chapter 5 [Amos] 1-3 Lamentation over the church because it has been successively devastated. 2 4-9 Exhortation to seek the Lord, that all things of the church may not perish through evils and falsities. 2 10-13 They reject truths because they are in self-intelligence. 2 14, 15 Exhortation to be converted. 2 16-20 Lamentation over the destruction of the church, and over their own destruction, when the Lord comes. 3 21, 22 Their worship cannot be accepted. 2 23-25 It will be accepted if they have good and truth. 2 26, 27 Otherwise they are deprived of all knowledge [cognitio] of truth and good. 2
