阿摩司書 5:10 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Amos 5:4-15

This is a message from God to the house of Israel, in which, I. They are told of their faults, that they might see what occasion there was for them to repent and reform, and that, when they were called to return, they might not need to ask, Wherein shall we return? 1. God tells them, in general (Amos 5:12), ?I know your manifold transgressions, and your mighty sins; and you shall be made to know them too.? In our penitent reflections upon our sins we must consider, as God does in his judicial... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Amos 5:10

They hate him that rebuketh in the gate ,.... Openly and publicly in the courts of judicature: wicked judges hated the prophets of the Lord, such as Amos, who faithfully reproved them for the perversion of justice, even when they were upon the bench: or the people were so corrupt and degenerate, that they hated those faithful judges who reproved them for their vices in the open courts of justice, when they came before them, The former sense seems best, and more agreeable to the context: ... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 5:10

Verse 10 It is probable that in this verse also, the judges are reproved by the Prophet, though what is here said may be extended to the whole people: but as nearly the whole discourse is leveled against the judges, I readily subscribe to the opinion, that the Prophet now accuses the judges on this account, — because they could not bear to be reproved for the great license they allowed themselves, but, on the contrary, abhorred all those who reproved them. What then he says as to the reprover... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 5:7-13

The contrast presaging the conflict. Judgment is coming. Warning has been given. Duty, and the prevailing derelictions of it, have been pointed out. Here God's perfections and Israel's iniquities are set in juxtaposition, and the co]location is suggestive. Such incompatibility must lead to collision. It is by God's character and ours that our mutual relations and attitudes are shaped. We see here— I. GOD REVEALING HIMSELF . ( Amos 5:8 , Amos 5:9 .) God's work is an important... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 5:10

Him that rebuketh in the gate ( Isaiah 29:21 ). The gate of Eastern cities was the place of public resort ( Proverbs 1:21 ), either for business ( Deuteronomy 25:7 ), or the administration of justice ( 2 Samuel 15:2 ), or for gossip. So "he that rebuketh in the gate" may be a judge, or a chief, or a prophet ( Jeremiah 17:19 ; Jeremiah 19:2 ). It seems better to take the words thus than to join "in the gate" to "they hate," with the meaning that those who resort to the gate—kings,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Amos 5:10

They hate him that rebuketh - “The gate” is the well-known place of concourse, where just or, in Israel now, unjust judgment was given Deuteronomy 25:7; Job 5:4; Job 31:21; 2 Samuel 15:2; Proverbs 22:22; Isaiah 29:21, where all was done which was to be done publicly Ruth 4:1, Ruth 4:11. Samaria had a large area by its chief gate, where two kings could hold court, and the 400 false prophets and the people, in great numbers, could gather 1Ki 22:10; 2 Chronicles 18:9, and a market could be held 2... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Amos 5:10

Amos 5:10. They hate him that rebuketh in the gate The usual place of administering justice, and of reproving and passing judgment on iniquity. The prophet now, after having descanted upon God’s wondrous power, returns to enumerate the crimes of the Israelites; and begins with telling them, that they in general hated the judges who reproved them for their injurious conduct and acts of fraud or violence, and endeavoured to do justice to the oppressed. And besides this, they hated the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Amos 5:1-15

God requires repentance (5:1-15)The prophet again recalls past warnings that the people had consistently ignored. He sees vividly that the result of the people’s stubbornness will be the destruction of Israel. Samaria will be conquered and most of Israel’s army wiped out (5:1-3).What God wants is not an increase in religious ceremonies but a turning in heart and life to him. He does not want processions to religious holy places (which, in any case, will be destroyed) but the administration of... read more
