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 La visión de Dios junto al altar
Entonces vi una visión del Señor, quien estaba de pie junto al altar y dijo:
«Golpea la parte superior de las columnas del templo
para que los cimientos se sacudan.
Derriba el techo
sobre las cabezas de la gente.
Mataré a espada a los que sobrevivan.
¡Nadie escapará!
2 »Aunque caven hasta el lugar de los muertos,
allí descenderé y los sacaré.
Aunque suban hasta los cielos,
de allí los derribaré.
3 Aunque se escondan en la cumbre del monte Carmelo,
allí los buscaré y los capturaré.
Aunque se oculten en el fondo del océano,
enviaré tras ellos a la serpiente marina para que los muerda.
4 Aunque sus enemigos los lleven al destierro,
ordenaré a la espada que allí los mate.
Estoy decidido a traerles desastre
y no a ayudarlos».
5 El Señor, el Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales,
toca la tierra y esta se derrite,
y todos sus habitantes lloran.
La tierra sube como el río Nilo en tiempo de inundaciones,
y luego vuelve a hundirse.
