Amos Chapter 5 서론

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary

Untitled

Translated Open passage

The scope of this chapter is to prosecute the exhortation given to Israel in the close of the foregoing chapter to prepare to meet their God; the prophet here tells them, I. What preparation they must make; they must "seek the Lord," and not seek any more to idols (Am 5:4-8); they must seek good, and love it, Am 5:14,15. II. Why they must make this preparation to meet their God, 1. Because of the present deplorable condition they were in, Am 5:1-3. 2. Because it was by sin that they were brought into such a condition, Am 5:7,10-12. 3. Because it would be their happiness to seek God, and he was ready to be found of them, Am 5:8,9,14. 4. Because he would proceed, in his wrath, to their utter ruin, if they did not seek him, Am 5:5,6,13,16,17. 5. Because all their confidences would fail them if they did not seek unto God, and make him their friend. (1.) Their profane contempt of God's judgments, and setting them at defiance, would not secure them, Am 5:18-20. (2.) Their external services in religion, and the shows of devotion, would not avail to turn away the wrath of God, Am 5:21-24. (3.) Their having been long in possession of church-privileges, and in a course of holy duties, would not be their protection, while all along they had kept up their idolatrous customs, Am 5:25-27. They have therefore no way left them to save themselves, but by repentance and reformation.

Adam Clarke's Commentary and Critical Notes on the Bible

Amos 5 Introduction

Translated Open passage

This chapter opens with a tender and pathetic lamentation, in the style of a funeral song, over the house of Israel, Amos 5:1, Amos 5:2. The prophet then glances at the awful threatening denounced against them, Amos 5:3; earnestly exhorting them to renounce their idols, and seek Jehovah, of whom he gives a very magnificent description, Amos 5:4-9. He then reproves their injustice and oppression with great warmth and indignation; exhorts them again to repentance; and enforces his exhortation with the most awful threatenings, delivered with great majesty and authority, and in images full of beauty and grandeur, Amos 5:10-24. The chapter concludes with observing that their idolatry was of long standing, that they increased the national guilt, by adding to the sins of their fathers; and that their punishment, therefore, should be great in proportion, Amos 5:25-27. Formerly numbers of them were brought captive to Damascus, 2 Kings 10:32, 2 Kings 10:33; but now they must go beyond it to Assyria, 2 Kings 15:29; 2 Kings 17:6.

Amos 5 Introduction

Translated Open passage

INTRODUCTION TO Amos 5

In this chapter the prophet exhorts Israel to hear his lamentation over them for their impending ruin, Amos 5:1; nevertheless to seek the Lord, and all that is good; to forsake their idols, and repent of their sins, in hopes of finding mercy, and living comfortably; or otherwise they must expect the wrath of God for their iniquities, especially their oppression of the poor, Amos 5:4; otherwise it would be a time of weeping and wailing, of darkness and distress, however they might harden or flatter themselves, or make a jest of it, Amos 5:16; for all their sacrifices and ceremonial worship would signify nothing, so long as they continued their idolatry with them Amos 5:21; and therefore should surely go into captivity, Amos 5:27.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

Amos 5 Introduction

Translated Open passage

V.

Commences with a veritable dirge over the calamity already threatened. The form of the dirge belongs to the second verse only (its poetic expression resembling the lament of David over Saul and Jonathan, 2 Samuel 1), but the spirit of the dirge extends through the entire chapter.

Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges

Amos 5 Introduction

Translated Open passage

This section of the prophecy falls naturally into three parts, Amos 5:1-27, Amos 6:1-14, each drawing out, in different terms, the moral grounds of Israel’s impending ruin, and ending with a similar outlook of invasion, or exile.

-1Amos 5:1-17. Israel continuing to shew no signs of amendment, there remains nothing but inevitable ruin; and the prophet accordingly begins to sing his elegy over the impending fall of the kingdom, which in spirit he beholds already as consummated (Amos 5:1-3). Israel deserves this fate, for it has done the very opposite of what God demands: God demanded obedience, judgement, and mercy; Israel has persistently practised the reverse, and has acted so as to call down upon itself a just retribution (Amos 5:4-11). Its state is desperate (Amos 5:12 f.); certainly, even now it is not too late to amend, and the prophet again in treats it earnestly to do so (Amos 5:14 f.); but he sees only too well that his words will not be listened to; and again therefore he draws in outline a dark picture of the calamities impending upon the nation.

ELEGY OVER THE PROSTRATE KINGDOM: RENEWED EXHORTATIONS TO REPENTANCE: GOD DECLARES THAT THE COMING DAY OF JUDGMENT SHALL BE TERRIBLE TO THE SCORNERS WHO DESPISE IT: CEREMONIAL SERVICES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE TO HIM WHERE TRUE PIETY EXISTS NOT: ISRAEL SHALL THEREFORE BE REMOVED FAR EASTWARD.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Amos 5:1

Translated Open passage

In order to impress Israel the more, Amos begins this his third appeal by a "dirge" over its destruction, mourning over those who were full of joy, and thought themselves safe and enviable. As if a living man, in the midst of his pride and luxury and buoyant recklessness of heart, could see his own funeral procession, and hear, as it were, over himself the "earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust." It would give solemn thoughts, even though he should impatiently put them from him. So must it to Israel, when after the tide of victories of Jeroboam II, Amos said, "Hear this word which I am lifting up," as a heavy weight, to cast it down "against" or "upon you," a funeral "dirge," O house of Israel. Human greatness is so unstable, human strength so fleeting, that the prophet of decay finds a response in man's own conscience, however he may silence or resent it. He would not resent it, unless he felt its force.

Dionysius: "Amos, an Israelite, mourneth over Israel, as Samuel did over Saul 1 Samuel 15:35, or as Isaiah says, "I will weep bitterly; labor not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people" Isaiah 22:4; images of Him who wept over Jerusalem." "So are they bewailed, who know not why they are bewailed, the more miserable, because they know not their own misery."
