SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:10
Ellos aborrecieron en la puerta al reprensor, y al que hablaba lo recto abominaron.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Amos 5:10
Verse 10. They hate him that rebuketh in the gate] They cannot bear an upright magistrate, and will not have righteous laws executed.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. They hate him that rebuketh in the gate , etc.] Openly and publicly in the courts of judicature: wicked judges hated the prophets of the Lord, such as Amos, who faithfully reproved them for the perversion of justice, even when they were upon the bench: or the people were so corrupt and degenerate, that they hated those faithful judges who reproved them for their vices in the open courts of justice, when they came before them, The former sense seems best, and more agreeable to the context: and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly ; not only hate him, but abhor him, cannot bear the sight of him, or to hear his name mentioned that speaks out his mind freely and honestly, and tells them of their sins, and advises them to repent of them, and leave them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-17 - The same almighty power can, for repenting sinners, easily tur affliction and sorrow into prosperity and joy, and as easily turn the prosperity of daring sinners into utter darkness. Evil times will no bear plain dealing; that is, evil men will not. And these men were evi 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 sav the land from ruin. It behoves us to plead God's spiritual promises, to beseech him to create in us a clean heart, and to renew a right spiri within us. The Lord is ever ready to be gracious to the souls that see him; and then piety and every duty will be attended to. But as for sinful Israel, God's judgments had often passed by them, now they shal pass through them.
