Amos 5:9
_ _ strengtheneth the spoiled — literally, “spoil” or “devastation”: hence the “person spoiled.” Winer, Maurer, and the best modern critics translate, “maketh devastation (or destruction) suddenly to arise,” literally, “maketh it to gleam forth like the dawn.” Ancient versions support English Version. The Hebrew is elsewhere used, to make, to shine, to make glad: and as English Version here (Psalms 39:13), “recover strength.”
_ _ the spoiled shall come — “devastation,” or “destruction shall come upon” [Maurer]. English Version expresses that, strong as Israel fancies herself after the successes of Jeroboam II (2 Kings 14:25), even the weakest can be made by God to prevail against the strong. |
Amos 5:9
The strong — The mighty, victorious and insolent. Shall come — Shall rally and form a siege against their besiegers. |
- strengtheneth:
2 Kings 13:17 And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened [it]. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD'S deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed [them].
2 Kings 13:25 And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities, which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times did Joash beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel.
Jeremiah 37:10 For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained [but] wounded men among them, [yet] should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.
Hebrews 11:34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
