Therefore the prudent shall keep silence, &c.— "The prophet who finds that he shall not be heard, and that his remonstrances will not be regarded, shall retire, and keep silence till the Lord commands him to speak." This was the conduct of Amos himself. See chap. Amos 7:12; Amos 7:16. The wise man advises us not to speak before those who will not hear and regard, Sir 32:9 and our Saviour in the Gospel exhorts, not to cast pearl before swine. See Calmet.
