‏ Amos 7:15

15. took me as I followed the flock--So David was taken (2Sa 7:8; Psa 78:70, 71). Messiah is the antitypical Shepherd (Psa 23:1-6; Joh 10:1-18).

unto my people--"against" [Maurer]; so Am 7:16. Jehovah claims them still as His by right, though slighting His authority. God would recover them to His service by the prophet's ministry.
