Amós 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.

Amós 5:10 In-Context

8 El SEÑOR hizo las Pléyades y el Orión,convierte en aurora las densas tinieblasy oscurece el día hasta convertirlo en noche.Él convoca las aguas del mary las derrama sobre la tierra.¡Su nombre es el SEÑOR!

9 Él reduce a la nada la fortalezay trae la ruina sobre la plaza fuerte.

10 Ustedes odian al que defiende la justicia en el tribunaly detestan al que dice la verdad.

11 Por eso, como pisotean al desvalidoy le imponen tributo de grano,no vivirán en las casas de piedra labrada que han construido,ni beberán del vino de los selectos viñedos que han plantado.

12 ¡Yo sé cuán numerosos son sus delitos,cuán grandes sus pecados!Ustedes oprimen al justo, exigen sobornoy en los tribunales atropellan al necesitado.
