Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Amos 4:6-11.


Amos 4:9

_ _ blasting — the blighting influence of the east wind on the corn (Genesis 41:6).

_ _ when ... gardens ... increased — In vain ye multiplied your gardens, etc., for I destroyed their produce. Bochart supports Margin, “the multitude of your gardens.”

_ _ palmer worm — A species of locust is here meant, hurtful to fruits of trees, not to herbage or corn. The same east wind which brought the drought, blasting, and mildew, brought also the locusts into Judea [Bochart], (Exodus 10:13).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Amos 4:6-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Amos 4:9

Increased — When they were most fruitful. Devoured — Eat up all, as is the manner of them.
