see Amo 1:2; great in extent of ground, in strength of its fortifications, height and breadth of its walls, and multitude of its towers; great in the multitude of its numbers, and riches of its citizens, and every whit as great in the multitude of its sins: but let nothing retard or discourage thee, arise and go.

publicly, plainly, boldly; cry, Amo 1:2.

i.e. against it, publish the near approaching ruin of it, preach to them the necessity of their repentance, and awaken them to it by the terrors of the Lord.

either which I did bid thee at first, as Amo 1:2, or what I shall suggest and communicate to thee when thou art come thither.
