Amos 4:2
_ _ The Lord — the same Hebrew as “masters” (Amos 4:1). Israel’s nobles say to their master or lord, Bring us drink: but “the Lord” of him and them “hath sworn,” etc.
_ _ by his holiness — which binds Him to punish the guilty (Psalms 89:35).
_ _ he will take yon away — that is God by the instrumentality of the enemy.
_ _ with hooks — literally, “thorns” (compare 2 Chronicles 33:11). As fish are taken out of the water by hooks, so the Israelites are to be taken out of their cities by the enemy (Ezekiel 29:4; compare Job 41:1, Job 41:2; Jeremiah 16:16; Habakkuk 1:15). The image is the more appropriate, as anciently captives were led by their conquerors by a hook made to pass through the nose (2 Kings 19:28), as is to be seen in the Assyrian remains. |
Amos 4:2
By his holiness — By himself as he is the holy God. The days — Of famine, desolation and captivity. He — God by the Assyrian army will take you, as fish are taken with the hook. Your posterity — The children of these oppressors. |
Amos 4:2
The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with (c) hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.

Psalms 89:35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
|
- hath sworn:
Amos 6:8 The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.
|
- he will:
Isaiah 37:29 Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
Jeremiah 16:16 Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
Ezekiel 39:4-5 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that [is] with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and [to] the beasts of the field to be devoured. ... Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD.
Habakkuk 1:15-16 They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad. ...
