Commentary on Amos 5:24

Theological / Devotional

Judgment. Or, “justice.”

A mighty stream. That is, a watercourse supplied by a perennial stream instead of a seasonal one (see on 1 Sam. 17:3). This beautiful figure of speech presented to Israel God’s desire for them (see on Jer. 5:15), and it is His desire still for His people today.
