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 al Señor de pie junto al altar, y él dijo:«Golpea los capiteles de las columnaspara que se estremezcan los umbrales,y que caigan en pedazos sobre sus cabezas.A los que queden los mataré a espada.Ni uno solo escapará,ninguno saldrá con vida.
2 Aunque se escondan en lo profundo del sepulcro,de allí los sacará mi mano.Aunque suban hasta el cielo,de allí los derribaré.
3 Aunque se oculten en la cumbre del Carmelo,allí los buscaré y los atraparé.Aunque de mí se escondan en el fondo del mar,allí ordenaré a la serpiente que los muerda.
4 Aunque vayan al destierro arriados por sus enemigos,allí ordenaré que los mate la espada.Para mal, y no para bien,fijaré en ellos mis ojos».
5 El SEÑOR omnipotente, el Todopoderoso,toca la tierra, y ella se desmorona.Sube y baja la tierracomo las aguas del Nilo, el río de Egipto,y se enlutan todos los que en ella viven.
