amos 5:10 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.

amos 5:10 They hate him who reproves in the gate, And they abhor him who speaks [with] integrity.

10. him that rebuketh in the gate--the judge who condemns their iniquity in the place of judgment (Isa 29:21).
abhor him that speaketh uprightly--the prophet telling them the unwelcome truth: answering in the parallelism to the judge, "that rebuketh in the gate" (compare 1Ki 22:8; Pr 9:8; 12:1; Jer 36:23).

amos 5:10 They hate him who reproves in the gate, And they abhor him who speaks [with] integrity.
