Amos 5:17

17 et in omnibus vineis erit planctus quia pertransibo in medio tui dicit Dominus

Amos 5:17 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 5:17

And in all vineyards [shall be] wailing
The vines being destroyed, and no grapes to be gathered, and put into the press; when there used to be great shoutings, and large expressions of joy, at the gathering in of the vintage, and pressing the grapes; but now there shall be a different tone; see ( Jeremiah 48:32 Jeremiah 48:33 ) ; for I will pass through thee, saith the Lord;
through their cities, towns, and country, fields and vineyards, and destroy all in his way, as he passed through Egypt when he destroyed their firstborn.

Amos 5:17 In-Context

15 odite malum et diligite bonum et constituite in porta iudicium si forte misereatur Dominus Deus exercituum reliquiis Ioseph

16 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus exercituum Dominator in omnibus plateis planctus et in cunctis quae foris sunt dicetur vae vae et vocabunt agricolam ad luctum et ad planctum eos qui sciunt plangere

17 et in omnibus vineis erit planctus quia pertransibo in medio tui dicit Dominus

18 vae desiderantibus diem Domini ad quid eam vobis dies Domini ista tenebrae et non lux

19 quomodo si fugiat vir a facie leonis et occurrat ei ursus et ingrediatur domum et innitatur manu sua super parietem et mordeat eum coluber
