Amos 5:10 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 5:10

They hate him that rebuketh in the gate
Openly and publicly in the courts of judicature: wicked judges hated the prophets of the Lord, such as Amos, who faithfully reproved them for the perversion of justice, even when they were upon the bench: or the people were so corrupt and degenerate, that they hated those faithful judges who reproved them for their vices in the open courts of justice, when they came before them, The former sense seems best, and more agreeable to the context: and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly;
not only hate him, but abhor him, cannot bear the sight of him, or to hear his name mentioned that speaks out his mind freely and honestly, and tells them of their sins, and advises them to repent of them, and leave them.

Amos 5:10 In-Context

8 Cercate colui che ha fatte le Gallinelle e l’Orione, e che muta l’ombra della morte in mattutino, e fa scurare il giorno come la notte; che chiama le acque del mare, e le spande sopra la faccia della terra; il cui Nome è: Il Signore:
9 che fa sorger subita ruina sopra il forte, talchè la distruzione occupa la fortezza.
10 Essi odiano nella porta chi li riprende, ed abbominano chi parla con integrità.
11 Laonde, perciocchè voi aggravate il povero, e prendete da lui la soma del frumento: voi avete edificate delle case di pietre pulite, ma non abiterete in esse; voi avete piantate delle vigne belle, ma non ne berrete il vino.
12 Perciocchè io conosco i vostri misfatti, che son molti, e i vostri peccati, che son gravi; oppressatori del giusto, prenditori di taglia, e sovvertitori della ragione de’ poveri nella porta.
