Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 5:10

"They hate him that reproveth in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly."A picture of the rotten judicial system of Israel is in this. The "court" was a type of open forum conducted in the gate of the city, where the wall was expanded to enclose a considerable area where important city business was conducted and affording an outdoor theater large enough for a considerable gathering of people. In the ancient system of justice, men of good will were expected to appear before the... read more

10. him that rebuketh in the gate—the judge who condemns their iniquity in the place of judgment (Isaiah 29:21). abhor him that speaketh uprightly—the prophet telling them the unwelcome truth: answering in the parallelism to the judge, "that rebuketh in the gate" (compare 1 Kings 22:8; Proverbs 9:8; Proverbs 12:1; Jeremiah 36:23). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Amos 5:10

Amos cited other reasons for the coming judgment. The Israelites hated judges who reproved evildoers in the city gate, where the court convened, and witnesses who spoke the truth. When influential people in a society despise the truth, there is little hope that it will remain stable and secure. read more

Another accusation of legal injustice 5:10-13This pericope is also chiastic. Intimidation and abusive treatment flank an announcement of covenant violation. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Amos 5:1-27

The Works of God Amos 5:8 The text brings the works of God and the name of God into one focus, and makes use of both as an argument with man to raise himself from the low and unworthy pretences of religion to Him Who sits high above the magnificence of all material forms, yet deigns to listen to the whisper of a kneeling child. I. Seek Him because He is Immutable. This is declared by 'the seven stars and Orion,' and by all the constellations among which the Pleiades are set. It is a... read more

2. FOR WORSHIP, JUSTICEAmos 5:1-27In the next of these groups of oracles Amos continues his attack on the national ritual, and now contrasts it with the service of God in public life-the relief of the poor, the discharge of justice. But he does not begin with this. The group opens with an elegy, which bewails the nation as already fallen. It is always difficult to mark where the style of a prophet passes from rhythmical prose into what we may justly call a metrical form. But in this short wail,... read more
