阿摩司书 6:9 CUVS

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 6:1-14

The Second Woe On Those Who Complacently Relaxed, Depending On YHWH’s Protection, While They Also Totally Ignored His Requirements (Amos 6:1-14 ). While Amos’s mission was to Israel he never overlooked the situation of Judah, and especially in decadent Jerusalem. He had already made clear in Amos 2:4-5 that YHWH had not overlooked Judah, but had already determined their punishment. And he had spoken in Amos 3:1 of the ‘whole family’ who had come out of Egypt. For to the prophets the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 6:8-14

Amos 6:8-2 Chronicles : . The Miserable Fate of these Rulers.— Yahweh solemnly declares ( Amos 6:8) that the pride ( mg.) of Jacob, the vainglory which has displaced true glory, has become an abomination to Him. There follows a difficult section, Amos 6:9 f., which does not suit the context very well and may have been added by a scribe. It seems to describe the horrors of a siege or plague. So terrible is the scourge that in a house where there are ten men none may escape ( Amos 6:9). A... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Amos 6:9

It shall come to pass; the thing is decreed, and shall take effect. If there remain, or escape the enemies’ sword, or the famine of Samaria, besieged three years. Ten men in one house; many men, for it is a certain number expressed, though an uncertain be understood. They shall die, either of pestilence, or by some other stroke of God’s hand; though they escape a while they shall not finally escape, 2 Kings 17:5. read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Amos 6:1-14

Shall we turn in our Bibles to Amos chapter 6.The Northern Kingdom of Israel has become apostate. They are living in luxury, carelessness, indifference towards God, when suddenly their peace is disturbed because of an unknown person to them who suddenly arises in Bethel, one of their cities of worship, and begins to denounce their worship. Begins to denounce the Northern Kingdom, and begins to prophecy the judgment of God. Amos suddenly appeared on the scene, telling of the judgment of God that... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 6:1-14

WOE UPON THE LUXURIOUS, THE SELF-CONFIDENT, AND THE PROUD, 1-14. In Amos 6:1, the prophet turns once more to the leaders of the people, who, reveling in wealth and luxury, were perfectly content with the present state of things, and were completely indifferent to the ruin threatening the people (Amos 6:1-6). Exile will be their punishment (Amos 6:7). The whole city and nation will be given over to destruction, because the inhabitants have perverted the truth and righteousness and have put their... read more
