Amos 5:13
_ _ the prudent — the spiritually wise.
_ _ shall keep silence — not mere silence of tongue, but the prudent shall keep himself quiet from taking part in any public or private affairs which he can avoid: as it is “an evil time,” and one in which all law is set at naught. Ephesians 5:16 refers to this. Instead of impatiently agitating against irremediable evils, the godly wise will not cast pearls before swine, who would trample these, and rend the offerers (Matthew 7:6), but will patiently wait for God’s time of deliverance in silent submission (Psalms 39:9). |

Shall keep silence — Be forced to it. Evil — Both for the sinfulness of it, and for the troubles, wars, and captivity now at hand. |
Amos 5:13
Therefore (h) the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it [is] an evil time.
(h) God will so plague them that they will not allow the godly to open their mouths once to admonish them of their faults. |
