Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Amos 5:10

_ _ him that rebuketh in the gate — the judge who condemns their iniquity in the place of judgment (Isaiah 29:21).

_ _ abhor him that speaketh uprightly — the prophet telling them the unwelcome truth: answering in the parallelism to the judge, “that rebuketh in the gate” (compare 1 Kings 22:8; Proverbs 9:8; Proverbs 12:1; Jeremiah 36:23).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Amos 5:4-15.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Amos 5:10
