Amós 5:24 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 5:24

But let judgments run down as waters
Or "roll" F15; in abundance, with great rapidity, bearing down all before them, which nothing can resist; signifying the plenty of justice done in the land, the full and free exercise of it, without any stoppage or intermission: and righteousness as a mighty stream;
the same thing expressed in different words; though some think that not the execution of judgment and justice by men is here exhorted to, but the vindictive justice of God is threatened; which like a mighty torrent of water should come down, overwhelm, bear away, and destroy all before it, even all the transgressors in Israel.

F15 (lgyw) "volvatur", Munster, Mercerus, Liveleus, Drusius; "volvat se", Montanus, Vatablus; "revolvet se", Piscator; "provolvatur", Cocceius.

Amós 5:24 In-Context

22 Ainda que me ofereçais holocaustos, juntamente com as vossas ofertas de cereais, não me agradarei deles; nem atentarei para as ofertas pacíficas de vossos animais cevados.
23 Afasta de mim o estrépito dos teus cânticos, porque não ouvirei as melodias das tuas liras.
24 Corra, porém, a justiça como as águas, e a retidão como o ribeiro perene.
25 Oferecestes-me vós sacrifícios e oblações no deserto por quarenta anos, ó casa de Israel?
26 Sim, levastes Sicute, vosso rei, e Quium, vosso deus-estrela, imagens que fizestes para vos mesmos.
