Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Amos 9:5

_ _ As Amos had threatened that nowhere should the Israelites be safe from the divine judgments, he here shows God’s omnipotent ability to execute His threats. So in the case of the threat in Amos 8:8, God is here stated to be the first cause of the mourning of “all that dwell” in the land, and of its rising “like a flood, and of its being “drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Amos 9:1-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Amos 9:5

Toucheth — He needs not take great pains therein, a touch of his finger will do this. Shall melt — As snow before the sun.
