Āmósīshū 8:13 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 8:13

In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for
thirst.
] After the word, for want of that grain and wine, which make young men and maids cheerful, ( Zechariah 9:17 ) ; but, being destitute of them, should be covered with sorrow, overwhelmed with grief, and ready to sink and die away. These, according to some, design the congregation of Israel; who are like to beautiful virgins, as the Targum paraphrases it; and the principal men of it, the masters of the assemblies: or, as others, such who were trusting to their own righteousness, and seeking after that which they could never attain justification by, and did not hunger and thirst after the righteousness of Christ, and so perished.
