Jamieson Fausset Brown Commentary - Amos 4:9 - 4:9


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

blasting - the blighting influence of the east wind on the corn (Gen 41:6).

when ... gardens ... increased - In vain ye multiplied your gardens, etc., for I destroyed their produce. Bochart supports Margin, “the multitude of your gardens.”

palmer worm - A species of locust is here meant, hurtful to fruits of trees, not to herbage or corn. The same east wind which brought the drought, blasting, and mildew, brought also the locusts into Judea [Bochart], (Exo 10:13).
