9 If ten people are left in one house, they too will die.
9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
9 And if ten men remain in one house, they shall die.
9 Ten men are in a house, all dead.
9 Then it shall come to pass, that if ten men remain in one house, they shall die.
9 (If there are ten men left in one house, they will all die.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Amos 6:9
Commentary on Amos 6:8-14
(Read Amos 6:8-14)
How dreadful, how miserable, is the case of those whose eternal ruin the Lord himself has sworn; for he can execute his purpose, and none can alter it! Those hearts are wretchedly hardened that will not be brought to mention God's name, and to worship him, when the hand of God is gone out against them, when sickness and death are in their families. Those that will not be tilled as fields, shall be abandoned as rocks. When our services of God are soured with sin, his providences will justly be made bitter to us. Men should take warning not to harden their hearts, for those who walk in pride, God will destroy.
