Amos 5:15
_ _ Hate ... evil ... love ... good — (Isaiah 1:16, Isaiah 1:17; Romans 12:9).
_ _ judgment in the gate — justice in the place where causes are tried.
_ _ it may be that the Lord ... will be gracious — so, “peradventure” (Exodus 32:30). Not that men are to come to God with an uncertainty whether or no He will be gracious: the expression merely implies the difficulty in the way, because of the want of true repentance on man’s part, so as to stimulate the zealous earnestness of believers in seeking God (compare Genesis 16:2; Joel 2:14; Acts 8:22).
_ _ the remnant of Joseph — (see Amos 5:6). Israel (represented by “Ephraim,” the leading tribe, and descendant of Joseph) was, as compared to what it once was, now but a remnant, Hazael of Syria having smitten all the coasts from Jordan eastward, Gilead and Bashan, Gad, Reuben, and Manasseh (2 Kings 10:32, 2 Kings 10:33) [Henderson]. Rather, “the remnant of Israel that shall have been left after the wicked have been destroyed” [Maurer]. |
Amos 5:15
The evil — All evil among the people, and yourselves. Love — Commend, encourage, defend: let your heart be toward good things, and good men. Remnant — What the invasions of enemies, or the civil wars have spared, and left in Samaria and Israel. |
