Amos 9:2 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

When David would describe the omnipresence of God, Psalms 139:7-12, he doth it most elegantly in almost the same manner as our inspired herdman here doth. Wherever these seek to hide themselves from the pursuing vengeance, they shall be found; he is with them, from whom they hide. Though they dig into hell; the deepest recesses, the heart and centre of the earth or the grave; or literally, for so we may lay the supposition, were it possible to be done, to hide in the centre of the earth, or the depth of hell. Thence shall mine hand take them; for hell is naked to God, and the grave did not hide some of these sinners; when dead and buried, the rage of famine, or of the enemy, might dig some out of their graves. Though they climb up to heaven; could they fly up to heaven, they would be out of the reach of men; thence will I bring them down; but there they would meet an offended God, and he would east them down.
