Amos 9:10 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole 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 shall die by the sword - "the sinners" - answering to the chaff, in the image in Amos 9:9, which falls on the earth, in opposition "to the grain" that does not fall.

Which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us - `come on us from behind' [ba`ªdiynuw] (Maurer).

Amos 9:10

10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
