Amos5:10
10 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate , and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly .
Either this is the Prophets complaint of them without farther expecting their complyance with his advice, or he foretels what they will do, Judges and people.
They both hate them that rebuke; Judges hate the Prophets, who rebuke corrupt Judges, and the people hate impartial Judges, if any such be among them;
Where Judges sate, and where the Prophets did many times deliver their message.
They cannot brook any one that deals plainly and honestly with them, whether Judge, Prophet or private person.
