Amos 9:10 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us. All the sinners of my people - Those who are the boldest and most incredulous; especially they who despise my warnings, and say the evil day shall not overtake nor prevent us; they shall die by the sword. It is no evidence of a man's safety that he is presumptuously fearless. There is a blessing to him who trembles at God's word.

Amos 9:10
