Amos 4:11
_ _ some of you — some parts of your territory.
_ _ as God overthrew Sodom — (Deuteronomy 29:23; Isaiah 13:19; Jeremiah 49:18; Jeremiah 50:40; 2 Peter 2:6; Jude 1:7). “God” is often repeated in Hebrew instead of “I.” The earthquake here apparently alluded to is not that in the reign of Uzziah, which occurred “two years” later (Amos 1:1). Traces of earthquakes and volcanic agency abound in Palestine. The allusion here is to some of the effects of these in previous times. Compare the prophecy, Deuteronomy 28:15-68, with Amos 4:6-11 here.
_ _ as a firebrand plucked out of ... burning — (Compare Isaiah 7:4; Zechariah 3:2). The phrase is proverbial for a narrow escape from utter extinction. Though Israel revived as a nation under Jeroboam II, it was but for a time, and that after an almost utter destruction previously (2 Kings 14:26). |
Amos 4:11
Overthrew — By grievous and desolating judgments. As a fire — brand — Such of you as escaped were yet as fire — brands in the midst of the fire, 'till infinite mercy saved a remnant. |
Amos 4:11
I have overthrown [some] of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a (m) firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
(m) You were almost all consumed, and a few of you were wonderfully preserved; (2 Kings 14:26). |
