Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Amos 9:8-10

Amos 9:8-10. The eyes of the Lord are upon the sinful kingdom See Amos 9:4. Saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob God still promises to preserve a remnant in the midst of his heaviest judgments, that he may perform the promises made to their fathers. Lo, I will sift the house of Israel among all nations I will mingle, or scatter, the Israelites among other nations, just as good and bad grain are mingled in a sieve; but will so order it, that none of the good grain... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Amos 9:1-10

No possibility of escape (9:1-10)In the final vision God causes a shrine to collapse on the heads of the worshippers. The picture is that of God’s judgment on the people of Israel because of their false religion (9:1). None will escape his judgment. No place is beyond his reach (2-4). He is the God of nature, the controller of the universe. He has the power to carry out his plans (5-6).Some Israelites might object that this could not happen to them, because they are God’s chosen people. He... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 9:10

"All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, the evil shall not overtake nor meet us."Here again is reaffirmed the constant thesis of Amos that the two secular kingdoms, which were evil, shall surely fail, and the kingdoms shall be wiped off the face of the earth. The "not utterly destroy" of the previous verse (Amos 9:8b) is not a denial of this, but an indication of a different fate for the "righteous remnant," in keeping with God's eternal purpose. There are two things in... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Amos 9:9-10

(9, 10) Sift.—Literally, shake to and fro. That which is not chaff shall be preserved and dispersed as seed. The race shall live, though the kingdom be destroyed. This peculiar judgment is threatened in Leviticus 26:33; Deuteronomy 28:64. (Comp. Hosea 9:17.) The prediction is very remarkable, as pointing to the indestructible vitality of the race, and its wide diffusion among all nations.Prevent us.—Better, assail us. read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Amos 9:7-15

3. THE VOICES OF ANOTHER DAWNAmos 9:7-15And now we are come to the part where, as it seems, voices of another day mingle with that of Amos, and silence his judgments in the chorus of their unbroken hope. At first, however, it is himself without doubt who speaks. He takes up the now familiar truth, that when it comes to judgment for sin, Israel is no dearer to Jehovah than any other people of His equal Providence."Are ye not unto Me, O children of Israel-‘tis the oracle of Jehovah-just like the... read more
