Amós 5:15

15 Odien lo malo y amen lo bueno;
conviertan sus tribunales en verdaderas cortes de justicia.
Quizás el Señor
Dios de los Ejércitos Celestiales
todavía tenga compasión del remanente de su pueblo.

Amós 5:15 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 5:15

Hate the evil, and love the good
Evil is not only not to be sought, but to be hated, especially the evil of sin, because of its evil nature, and pernicious effects and consequences; and, if it was for no other reason but because it is hateful and abominable unto God, therefore they that love him should hate evil, even with a perfect hatred; as all good men do, though it is present with them, and cleaves unto them, and they do it, ( Psalms 97:10 ) ( Romans 7:15 ) ( 12:9 ) ; and "good" is to be loved for its goodness' sake; and the good effects of it; a good God is to be loved, and all good men, and all good things; the good word of God, and his commands and ordinances; and highly to be esteemed, and affectionately regarded: and establish judgment in the gate;
openly, publicly, in every court of judicature, which used to be kept in the gates of cities; not only execute judgment and justice in all, cases brought into court, but let it have its constant course, and be always practised according to the settled laws of it: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant
of Joseph:
who should escape the fire that should break out of his house, and devour it, even the ten tribes, ( Amos 5:6 ) ; such of them as should seek the Lord, and that which is good; for in the worst of times God reserves a remnant for himself, as in the times of Elijah, Isaiah, Christ, and his apostles; a remnant according to the election of grace, to whom he has been gracious in the choice and reserve he has made of them; in the stores of grace he has hid up for them; in the provision and mission of his Son as a Saviour; and in waiting the time of their conversion, when he is gracious to them, in regenerating, quickening, pardoning, and justifying of them; and still will be in the visits of his love; in the supplies of his grace, in supporting them under afflictions, temptations, desertions and in giving them his word and ordinances for their comfort and relief: nor is this "may be" to be understood in a way of doubt or hesitation, but of good hope, yea, of a holy confidence; and so some render it, "without doubt the Lord God of hosts will be gracious" F7 see ( Zephaniah 2:3 ) .

Amós 5:15 In-Context

13 Así que los que son listos permanecerán con la boca cerrada,
porque es un tiempo malo.
14 ¡Hagan lo bueno y huyan del mal
para que vivan!
Entonces el Señor
Dios de los Ejércitos Celestiales será su ayudador,
así como ustedes han dicho.
15 Odien lo malo y amen lo bueno;
conviertan sus tribunales en verdaderas cortes de justicia.
Quizás el Señor
Dios de los Ejércitos Celestiales
todavía tenga compasión del remanente de su pueblo.
16 Por lo tanto, esto es lo que dice el Señor
Dios de los Ejércitos Celestiales:
«Habrá llanto en todas las plazas públicas
y lamentos en cada calle.
Llamen a los campesinos para que lloren con ustedes
y traigan a los que les pagan por lamentar.
17 Habrá gemidos en cada viñedo,
porque yo los destruiré a todos»,
dice el Señor
