There is iniquity in Gilead: yea, and Gilead hath smarted for her iniquity; though they promised themselves peace, yet all proved but vanity, yea, they smarted very dreadfully, for in Amos, 1. 3. it is said there, That Gilead was threshed with Instruments. Now Amos was contemporary 1with Hosea, and speaks of the wonderful miseries that had befallen the City of Gilead; As if the Prophet should say, Do not you know there is iniquity in Gilead? hath not God declared it by his severe wrath upon Gilead? have not they proved vanity? What then can Gilgal expect? they yet sacrifice Bullocks, they are guilty of the same sin of false worship as Gilead was; God had appointed but one place to worship in, but they had abundance of sacrifices, and had their Altars as common as the very heaps of stones that was in the fields.
