Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Amos 3:10

_ _ know not to do — Their moral corruption blinds their power of discernment so that they cannot do right (Jeremiah 4:22). Not simple intellectual ignorance; the defect lay in the heart and will.

_ _ store up violence and robbery — that is, treasures obtained by “violence and robbery” (Proverbs 10:2).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Amos 3:9-15.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Amos 3:10

Store up — As men lay up wealth in their treasures, perverting judgment, first condemning the innocent, next seizing all his substance.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Amos 3:10

For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery (l) in their palaces.

(l) The fruit of their cruelty and theft appears by their great riches, which they have in their houses.
