Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Amos 5:11

They imposed high rents and taxes of grain on the poor to keep them tenants on the land (cf. Exodus 23:2; Exodus 23:6)."The small farmer no longer owns his own land; he is a tenant of an urban class to whom he must pay a rental for the use of the land, a rental that was often a lion’s share of the grain which the land had produced." [Note: Mays, p. 94.] The oppressors used this illegally obtained income to build themselves luxurious homes. The Lord promised that He would make it impossible for... read more

Therefore your pomp and luxury shall be of no avail. Such is God’s judgment on indifference to the wants and feedings of the poor. 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
