Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Amos 3:6

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

6. When the sound of alarm is trumpeted by the watchman in the city, the people are sure to run to and fro in alarm ( Hebrew, literally). Yet Israel is not alarmed, though God threatens judgments. shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it? —This is the explanation of the preceding similes: God is the Author of all the calamities which come upon you, and which are foretold by His prophets. The evil of sin is from ourselves; the evil of trouble is from God, whoever be the instruments. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-7" class="com-number"
