This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Seek good; turn to the law of God, study it, that ye may do the good it requireth in works of piety, justice, and charity.
And not evil: you have devised evil, and done it in works of impiety, injustice, and cruelty. Or this may be the same with Amo_5:4-6, which see.
That ye may live: see Amo_5:4.
The Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you; the eternal glorious God, who is Lord of all, and can help you, having all the hosts of heaven and earth at his disposal; he will be with you to bless and save you yet, notwithstanding all your former sins.
As ye have spoken; you have boasted his being with you, you think he is bound to be with you and own you; so he will indeed, but it is if you repent, cease from idols and violence.
