Amos 1:11
_ _ Edom ... did pursue his brother — (Isaiah 34:5). The chief aggravation to Edom’s violence against Israel was that they both came from the same parents, Isaac and Rebekah (compare Genesis 25:24-26; Deuteronomy 23:7, Deuteronomy 23:8; Obadiah 1:10, Obadiah 1:12; Malachi 1:2).
_ _ cast off all pity — literally, “destroy compassions,” that is, did suppress all the natural feeling of pity for a brother in distress.
_ _ his wrath for ever — As Esau kept up his grudge against Jacob, for having twice supplanted him, namely, as to the birthright and the blessing (Genesis 27:41), so Esau’s posterity against Israel (Numbers 20:14, Numbers 20:21). Edom first showed his spite in not letting Israel pass through his borders when coming from the wilderness, but threatening to “come out against him with the sword”; next, when the Syrians attacked Jerusalem under Ahaz (compare 2 Chronicles 28:17, with 2 Kings 16:5); next, when Nebuchadnezzar assailed Jerusalem (Psalms 137:7, Psalms 137:8). In each case Edom chose the day of Israel’s calamity for venting his grudge. This is the point of Edom’s guilt dwelt on in Obadiah 1:10-13. God punishes the children, not for the sin of their fathers, but for their own filling up the measure of their fathers’ guilt, as children generally follow in the steps of, and even exceed, their fathers’ guilt (compare Exodus 20:5). |
Amos 1:11
Pursue — Watched for, and laid hold on every occasion to oppress Israel. Did tear — As a ravenous and fierce lion tears the prey. |
Amos 1:11
Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath (l) for ever:
(l) He was a continual enemy to him. |
