2 Ainda que cavem até o Seol, dali os tirará a minha mão; ainda que subam ao céu, dali os farei descer.

Amós 9:2 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 9:2

Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them,
&c.] That is, they that endeavour to make their escape from their enemies, though they seek for places of the greatest secrecy and privacy; not hell, the place of the damned; nor the grave, the repository of the dead; neither of which they chose to he in, but rather sought to escape them; but the deepest and darkest caverns, the utmost recesses of the earth, the very centre of it; which, could they get into, would not secure them from the power and providence of God, and from their enemies in pursuit of them, by his permission: though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down;
the summit of the highest mountains, and get as near to heaven, and at as great a distance from men, as can be, and yet all in vain. The Targum is,

``if they think to be hid as it were in hell, from thence their enemies shall take them by my word; and if they ascend the high mountains, to the top of heaven, thence will I bring them;''
see ( Psalms 139:8 ) .

Amós 9:2 In-Context

1 Vi o Senhor, que estava junto ao altar; e me disse: Fere os capitéis, para que estremeçam os umbrais; e faze tudo em pedaços sobre a cabeça de todos eles; e eu matarei � espada até o último deles; nenhum deles conseguirá fugir, nenhum deles escapará.
2 Ainda que cavem até o Seol, dali os tirará a minha mão; ainda que subam ao céu, dali os farei descer.
3 Ainda que se escondam no cume do Carmelo, buscá-los-ei, e dali os tirarei; e, ainda que se ocultem aos meus olhos no fundo do mar, ali darei ordem � serpente, e ela os morderá.
4 Também ainda que vão para o cativeiro diante de seus inimigos, ali darei ordem � espada, e ela os matará; enfim eu porei os meus olhos sobre eles para o mal, e não pera o bem.
5 Pois o Senhor, o Deus dos exércitos, é o que toca a terra, e ela se derrete, e pranteiam todos os que nela habitam; e ela toda se levanta como o Nilo, e diminui como o Nilo do Egito.
