阿摩司書 5:10 CUNPTS

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Amos 5:1-27

CHAPTER 5 The Third Discourse 1. The lamentation (Amos 5:1-3 ) 2. Seek the Lord and ye shall live (Amos 5:4-15 ) 3. The wailing (Amos 5:16-20 ) 4. The captivity announced (Amos 5:21-27 ) Amos 5:1-3 . This chapter begins with a lamentation over the fallen daughter of Israel. “She shall no more rise” has been used as an argument against the future and literal restoration of Israel. The prophet has only the present government of God over that generation in view and does not deny at all a... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Amos 5:1-27

AMOS GENERAL OVE RV IEW OF THE BOOK The opening verse shows that Amos, like Hosea, was a prophet sent to Israel, though his home, Tekoa, was in Judah. He was contemporary with Hosea for a while, though the latter prophesied longer than he. After the introduction (Amos 1:1-3 ) there follows a series of messages concerning Gentile nations (Amos 1:4 to Amos 2:3 ), each beginning with the words “For three transgressions.., and for four, I will not turn away the punishment,” an orientalism,... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Amos 5:1-27

Moral Discipline Amos 5:0 "Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel" ( Amo 5:1 ). This is a dirge. It is as if a man were present at his own burial, hearing the solemn words, "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust;" the whole lot over, the whole tale run off, its very last syllable uttered, whispered, and all this poor little cloud-life behind; a dirge, a lamentation, a wail as of the heart. That may be beautiful, or it may be lacking in every line of... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Amos 5:4-17

The first verse in this paragraph is a confirmation, if it were needed, of what I advanced in my observations on the former. Seeking the Lord, implies the hope of finding him, and indeed the promise is of life. For the Lord hath never said to the praying seed of Jacob, seek ye my face in vain. Psalms 27:8 . It is a sure sign of returning grace, when such rich proclamations come from the throne. See Isaiah 55:6-7 . There is a great beauty in the allusion to the planets, those faithful nightly... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Amos 5:7-17

7-17 The same almighty power can, for repenting sinners, easily turn affliction and sorrow into prosperity and joy, and as easily turn the prosperity of daring sinners into utter darkness. Evil times will not bear plain dealing; that is, evil men will not. And these men were evil men indeed, when wise and good men thought it in vain even to speak to them. Those who will seek and love that which is good, may help to save the land from ruin. It behoves us to plead God's spiritual promises, to... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Amos 5:1-12

Israel's only Safety in Seeking the Lord v. 1. Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel, an elegy, dirge, or mournful song sung over the downfall of Israel. v. 2. The virgin of Israel, the people called thus because they were to be the Lord's congregation, His chaste bride, is fallen; she shall no more rise, not return to her former powerful and prosperous state; she is forsaken upon her land, stretched out upon her soil, by a violent overthrow; ... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Amos 5:1-27

Amos 5:03. Lament for Israel. The only Safety is in seeking the Lord. Woe to the Fools who desire the Day of the Lord1 Hear this word,Which I raise over you as a lamentation,1O house of Israel.2 Fallen is the virgin2Israel, she does not rise again,She is stretched out upon her soil, no one raises her up.3 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah,The city which goes out by a thousand3Shall retain a hundred,And that which goes out by a hundredShall retain ten, for the house of Israel.4 For thus saith... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Amos 5:4-15

Amos THE SINS OF SOCIETY Amo_5:4 - Amo_5:15 . The reign of Jeroboam II, in which Amos prophesied, was a period of great prosperity and of great corruption. Amos, born in the Southern Kingdom, and accustomed to the simple life of a shepherd, blazed up in indignation at the signs of misused wealth and selfish luxury that he saw everywhere, in what was to him almost a foreign country. If one fancies a godly Scottish Highlander sent to the West end of London, or a Bible-reading New England... read more
