阿摩司書 9:10 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Amos 9:1-10

We have here the justice of God passing sentence upon a provoking people; and observe, I. With what solemnity the sentence is passed. The prophet saw in vision the Lord standing upon the altar (Amos 9:1), the altar of burnt-offerings; for the Lord has a sacrifice, and multitudes must fall as victims to his justice. He is removed from the mercy-seat between the cherubim, and stands upon the altar, the judgment-seat, on which the fire of God used to fall, to devour the sacrifices. He stands upon... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Amos 9:10

All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword ,.... By the sword of the Assyrians, and of others, into whose countries they shall flee for shelter, Amos 9:1 ; even all such who are notorious sinners, abandoned to their lusts, obstinate and incorrigible; live in sin, and continue therein; repent not of sin, disbelieve the prophets of the Lord, and defy his threatenings, and put away the evil day far from them: which say, the evil shall not overtake nor prevent us ; the evil... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 9:10

All the sinners of my people - Those who are the boldest and most incredulous; especially they who despise my warnings, and say the evil day shall not overtake nor prevent us; they shall die by the sword. It is no evidence of a man's safety that he is presumptuously fearless. There is a blessing to him who trembles at God's word. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 9:10

Verse 10 Amos goes on with the same subject, — that God without any measure of cruelty would execute extreme vengeance on a reprobate people: Die, he says, by the sword all the wicked of my people. In naming the wicked of the people, he meant no doubt to include the whole people; though if any one thinks that the elect are by implication excepted, who were mixed with the ungodly, I do not object: this is probable; but yet the Prophet speaks here of the people generally. He says that the wicked... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 9:1-10

§ 6 . The fifth vision displays the Lord standing by the altar and commanding the destruction of the temple ( Amos 9:1 ). No one shall escape this judgment, flee whither he will ( Amos 9:2-4 ); for God is Almighty ( Amos 9:5 , Amos 9:6 ). Their election shall not save the guilty Israelites; still they shall not be utterly destroyed ( Amos 9:7-10 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 9:5-10

God as the Administrator of justice. "And the Lord God of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn," etc. These words present God to us as the Administrator of justice. I. THE DOES IT WITH THE GREATEST EASE . The administrators of justice in connection with human government have often to contend with difficulties that baffle and confound them. But the Almighty has no difficulty. "He toucheth the land, and it shall... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 9:7-10

The exalted brought low. "Think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father." And yet the blind and infatuate Israel were always saying it. They said it in view of every imminent catastrophe. They said it in abbreviation of all argument. They said it in lieu of fit and seasonable action. They made it an amulet to hang around their neck when they rushed purblind into rebellious action. They ran into it as into an intellectual joss house, where any absurdity was raised to the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 9:10

If any are to be saved, it will not be the sinners; they need not flatter themselves that their wilful blindness shall secure them. The evil shall not overtake. They lulled themselves into a false security, and shut their cars against the warnings of the prophets; but that would avail them nothing. Prevent ; come upon suddenly, surprise. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 9:10

The folly of self-confidence. The conduct of these Israelites, and their fate, may well stand as a beacon of warning to all who have heard the Word of God with indifference and unbelief. I. THE REASONS WHICH SHOULD PROMPT THE SINNER TO CONCERN . 1 . The voice of his own conscience assures him of guilt and ill desert. 2 . The warnings of Scripture should not be lost upon him, and revelation abounds with such warnings uttered upon the highest authority. 3 .... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Amos 9:10

All the sinners of My people shall perish - At the last, when the longsuffering of God has been despised to the uttermost, His Providence is exact in His justice, as in His love. As not “one grain should fall to the earth,” so not one sinner should escape. Jerome: “Not because they sinned aforetime, but because they persevered in sin until death. The Aethiopians are changed into sons of God, if they repent; and the sons of God pass away into Aethiopians, if they fall into the depth of... read more
