SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:3
Y saldrán por los portillos la una en pos de la otra, y seréis echadas del palacio, dice el SEÑOR.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Amos 4:3
Verse 3. And ye shall go out at the breaches] Probably the metaphor is here kept up. They shall be caught by the hooks, or by the nets; and though they may make breaches in the latter by their flouncing when caught, they shall be taken out at these very breaches; and cast, not in the palace, but into a reservoir, to be kept awhile, and afterwards be taken out to be destroyed. Samaria itself is the net; your adversaries shall besiege it, and make breaches in its walls. At those breaches ye shall endeavour to make your escape, but ye shall be caught and led into captivity, where most of you shall be destroyed. See Houbigant on this passage.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 3. And ye shall go out at the breaches , etc.] Not at the gates of the city, as they had used to do at pleasure; but at the breaches of the walls of it, made by the enemy, in order to make their escape, if possible; they who had broke down the fences of law and justice, and injured the poor and needy, shall now have the walls of their city broken down and they themselves exposed to the most imminent danger, and glad to get out of them to save their lives: every [cow] at that [which is] before her ; every woman, as Jarchi and Kimchi; or every great person, compared to the kine of Bashan, shall make up as fast as he can to the breach before him, to get out; shall follow one another as quick as they can, and clamber on one another’s backs, as such cattle do, to get out first; which shows the hurry and confusion they should be in, upon the taking of their city Samaria: and ye shall cast [them] into the palace, saith the Lord ; either their children, or their substance, which they shall cast into the royal palace, or fort, or citadel, for safety. Some render it, “ye shall cast yourselves”; so Abarbinel; that is, such as could not get out at the breaches should betake themselves to the palace or fort for their security. The Targum of the whole is, “and they shall break down the wall upon you, and bring you out, gathered everyone before him, and carry you beyond the mountains of Armenia.” And so some others, taking it to be the name of a place, render it, “ye shall be cast into Armon”, or Mona; which Bochart suspects to be the same with Minni, mentioned with Ararat, a mountain in Armenia, ( Jeremiah 51:27).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - What is got by extortion is commonly used to provide for the flesh, an to fulfil the lusts thereof. What is got by oppression cannot be enjoyed with satisfaction. How miserable are those whose confidence i unscriptural observances only prove that they believe a lie! Let us se to it that our faith, hope, and worship, are warranted by the Divin word.
