Charles Ellicott Commentary Amos 6:3

"-ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;" — Amos 6:3 (ASV)

Far away. —They choose to think that the day of reckoning is far off, and cling still closer to their habits of defrauding the poor at the seat of judgment. (Compare to Ezekiel 12:21-28.)
