Vineyards, often symbols of prosperity and joy in ancient Israel, are here depicted as places of lamentation. This reversal underscores the severity of the coming judgment. The imagery of wailing in vineyards suggests that the judgment will affect both the agricultural economy and the social fabric of the nation. In biblical times, vineyards were central to Israel's economy and culture, representing God's blessings (<a href="/isaiah/5.htm">Isaiah 5:1-7</a>). The wailing signifies a loss of these blessings due to the people's disobedience.<p><b>for I will pass through your midst,”</b><br>This phrase echoes the language of the Passover in <a href="/exodus/12-12.htm">Exodus 12:12</a>, where God passed through Egypt, bringing judgment. Here, however, God is not passing over to spare but passing through to judge. This indicates a direct divine intervention, emphasizing the seriousness of Israel's sin and the certainty of God's judgment. The presence of God in judgment contrasts with His presence in blessing and protection, highlighting the consequences of Israel's failure to uphold the covenant.<p><b>says the LORD.</b><br>This phrase affirms the authority and certainty of the message. The use of "says the LORD" underscores that this is not merely a prophetic warning but a divine decree. It reflects the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where God, as the sovereign LORD, holds His people accountable. The prophetic declaration serves as a reminder of God's unchanging nature and His commitment to justice, as seen throughout the Old Testament (e.g., <a href="/isaiah/45-23.htm">Isaiah 45:23</a>, <a href="/jeremiah/1-9.htm">Jeremiah 1:9</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/amos.htm">Amos</a></b><br>A prophet from Tekoa, called by God to deliver messages of judgment and repentance to Israel.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The Northern Kingdom, which had turned away from God, engaging in idolatry and injustice.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/v/vineyards.htm">Vineyards</a></b><br>Symbolic of prosperity and joy, but here they become places of mourning due to impending judgment.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD</a></b><br>Yahweh, the covenant God of Israel, who is both just and merciful.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/d/day_of_the_lord.htm">Day of the LORD</a></b><br>A time of divine intervention, often associated with judgment and salvation.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_reality_of_divine_judgment.htm">The Reality of Divine Judgment</a></b><br>God's judgment is real and inevitable for those who persist in sin and rebellion.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_call_to_repentance.htm">The Call to Repentance</a></b><br>The wailing in the vineyards serves as a call to repentance, urging us to turn back to God before it's too late.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_sovereignty_of_god.htm">The Sovereignty of God</a></b><br>God is sovereign over all nations and events, and His purposes will be accomplished.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_consequences_of_injustice.htm">The Consequences of Injustice</a></b><br>Israel's social injustices led to divine judgment, reminding us of the importance of righteousness and justice.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/hope_in_the_midst_of_judgment.htm">Hope in the Midst of Judgment</a></b><br>Even in judgment, there is hope for those who seek the Lord and live according to His ways.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_amos_5.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Amos 5</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/key_themes_in_amos.htm">What are the key themes in the Book of Amos?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_amos_5_18_contradict_hopeful_texts.htm">Amos 5:18 - If the 'Day of the Lord' is described here as darkness, does this contradict other biblical texts that portray it as a time of hope or victory?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_joel_1_5's_call_to_drunkards_unique.htm">Does Joel 1:5's emphasis on drunkards mourning align with other biblical calls to repentance, or is this focus unique and contradictory?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_does_amos_5_25_deny_wilderness_sacrifices.htm">Amos 5:25 - How can Amos assert that Israel did not offer sacrifices in the wilderness when Exodus and Leviticus detail extensive sacrificial ordinances?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/amos/5.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 17.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Vineyards</span>.
