Elders and judges would sit at the gate to resolve disputes and administer justice (<a href="/deuteronomy/21-19.htm">Deuteronomy 21:19</a>, <a href="/ruth/4.htm">Ruth 4:1</a>). The one who "reproves" is likely a figure of authority or a prophet who calls out injustice and wrongdoing. This phrase highlights the resistance and hostility faced by those who uphold righteousness and truth, a theme echoed throughout the prophetic books. The hatred towards such figures reflects a broader societal rejection of God's standards, as seen in the persecution of prophets like Jeremiah (<a href="/jeremiah/20-2.htm">Jeremiah 20:2</a>) and the ultimate rejection of Jesus Christ, who was despised for His message of repentance (<a href="/john/15-18.htm">John 15:18</a>).<p><b>and despise him who speaks with integrity</b><br>Integrity, or moral uprightness, is a key biblical virtue (<a href="/proverbs/11-3.htm">Proverbs 11:3</a>). The disdain for those who speak with integrity indicates a society that has turned away from God's commandments, valuing deceit and corruption over truth. This mirrors the broader narrative of Israel's spiritual decline, where truth-tellers are marginalized. The rejection of integrity is not only a personal failing but a communal one, leading to societal decay. This theme is consistent with the warnings of other prophets, such as Isaiah, who lamented the lack of justice and righteousness (<a href="/isaiah/59-14.htm">Isaiah 59:14</a>). In the New Testament, Jesus embodies perfect integrity, and His followers are called to emulate this trait, even in the face of opposition (<a href="/1_peter/2-12.htm">1 Peter 2:12</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/amos.htm">Amos</a></b><br>A prophet from Tekoa, a small town in Judah, who was called by God to deliver messages of judgment and repentance to the Northern Kingdom of Israel.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The Northern Kingdom, which had fallen into idolatry and social injustice, prompting God's warnings through Amos.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_gate.htm">The Gate</a></b><br>In ancient Israelite cities, the gate was a place of legal proceedings and public discourse, where elders and judges would sit to make decisions and offer counsel.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_reprover.htm">The Reprover</a></b><br>A person who offers correction or criticism, often a prophet or a wise elder, who speaks truth and calls for justice.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/i/integrity.htm">Integrity</a></b><br>The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles, which was lacking among the leaders and people of Israel at the time.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_cost_of_truth-telling.htm">The Cost of Truth-Telling</a></b><br>Speaking truth and standing for righteousness often leads to rejection and hostility.

The gate of Eastern cities was the place of public resort (<a href="/proverbs/1-21.htm">Proverbs 1:21</a>), either for business (<a href="/deuteronomy/25-7.htm">Deuteronomy 25:7</a>), or the administration of justice (<a href="/2_samuel/15-2.htm">2 Samuel 15:2</a>), or for gossip. So "he that rebuketh in the gate" may be a judge, or a chief, or a prophet (<a href="/jeremiah/17-19.htm">Jeremiah 17:19</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/19-2.htm">Jeremiah 19:2</a>). It seems better to take the words thus than to join "in the gate" to "they hate," with the meaning that those who resort to the gate - kings, chiefs, judges - hate the prophet's reproof, for the following verses show that Amos is referring chiefly to judicial proceedings, and not to his own mission. <span class="cmt_word">Uprightly</span>; literally, <span class="accented">perfectly</span>; Vulgate, <span class="accented">perfecte</span>; <span class="accented">i.e.</span> without reserve, keeping nothing back. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/amos/5-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">you hate</span><br /><span class="heb">שָׂנְא֥וּ</span> <span class="translit">(śā·nə·’ū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8130.htm">Strong's 8130: </a> </span><span class="str2">To hate</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the one who reproves</span><br /><span class="heb">מוֹכִ֑יחַ</span> <span class="translit">(mō·w·ḵî·aḥ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Hifil - Participle - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3198.htm">Strong's 3198: </a> </span><span class="str2">To be right, reciprocal, to argue, to decide, justify, convict</span><br /><br /><span class="word">in the gate</span><br /><span class="heb">בַשַּׁ֖עַר</span> <span class="translit">(ḇaš·ša·‘ar)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8179.htm">Strong's 8179: </a> </span><span class="str2">An opening, door, gate</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and despise</span><br /><span class="heb">יְתָעֵֽבוּ׃</span> <span class="translit">(yə·ṯā·‘ê·ḇū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Piel - Imperfect - third person masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8581.htm">Strong's 8581: </a> </span><span class="str2">To loathe, detest</span><br /><br /><span class="word">him who speaks</span><br /><span class="heb">וְדֹבֵ֥ר</span> <span class="translit">(wə·ḏō·ḇêr)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1696.htm">Strong's 1696: </a> </span><span class="str2">To arrange, to speak, to subdue</span><br /><br /><span class="word">with integrity.</span><br /><span class="heb">תָּמִ֖ים</span> <span class="translit">(tā·mîm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adjective - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8549.htm">Strong's 8549: </a> </span><span class="str2">Entire, integrity, truth</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/amos/5-10.htm">Amos 5:10 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/amos/5-10.htm">Amos 5:10 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/amos/5-10.htm">Amos 5:10 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/amos/5-10.htm">Amos 5:10 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/amos/5-10.htm">Amos 5:10 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/amos/5-10.htm">Amos 5:10 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/amos/5-10.htm">Amos 5:10 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/amos/5-10.htm">Amos 5:10 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/amos/5-10.htm">Amos 5:10 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/amos/5-10.htm">Amos 5:10 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/amos/5-10.htm">OT Prophets: Amos 5:10 They hate him who reproves (Amo.
