As Amos sits and watches the fires on the mountain what comparison does he make? What does he decide about how he is feeling?

Amos compared the fire to hate and decided that no matter how fierce the feelings inside him..... he'd never do anything that would lead to losing his freedom to bondage again.

Hate could do that to a man, Amos thought, consume him and leave him smoldering. But he was a free man, and free at a great cost, and he would not put himself in bondage again.
