Context — The Destruction of Israel
1I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and He said: “Strike the tops of the pillars so that the thresholds shake. Topple them on the heads of all the people, and I will kill the rest with the sword. None of those who flee will get away; none of the fugitives will escape.
2Though they dig down to Sheol, from there My hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, from there I will pull them down.
3Though they hide themselves atop Carmel, there I will track them and seize them; and though they hide from Me at the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent to bite them. 4Though they are driven by their enemies into captivity, there I will command the sword to slay them. I will fix My eyes upon them for harm and not for good.”Cross References

Amos 9:2 Summary
[This verse means that no matter where we try to hide, God can always find us and bring us to justice. Whether we try to escape through death or by running away, God's power is greater than any attempt to hide. As it says in Psalm 139:7-12, God is present everywhere, and we cannot escape His presence. This should motivate us to seek a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, who offers us forgiveness and salvation, as seen in John 3:16.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to 'dig down to Sheol' in Amos 9:2?
Sheol refers to the place of the dead, so this phrase means to try to escape God's judgment by hiding in death itself, but even there, God's hand will take them, as seen in Psalm 139:8 where it says 'If I ascend to heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.'
Is God being cruel in Amos 9:2 by pulling people down from heaven?
No, God is not being cruel, He is being just, as Romans 3:23 says 'all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God', and His justice demands that sin be punished, but His love also offers salvation through Jesus Christ, as seen in John 3:16.
How can God's hand reach people in Sheol or heaven?
As the omnipotent and omnipresent God, His power and presence are not limited by human understanding of space or death, as stated in Jeremiah 23:24, 'Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him?' declares the Lord, 'Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?'
What is the main point of Amos 9:2?
The main point is that no one can escape God's judgment, whether they try to hide in death or in the highest heavens, as also emphasized in Psalm 139:7-12, where it talks about God's presence being everywhere.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I try to hide from God, and how can I surrender those areas to Him?
- How does the fact that God's hand can reach me anywhere impact my daily decisions and actions?
- In what ways do I see God's justice and love intersecting in my life, and how can I trust Him more deeply in those areas?
- What does it mean for me to 'fall short of the glory of God' in my own life, and how can I pursue a closer relationship with Him?
Gill's Exposition on Amos 9:2
Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them,.... That is, they that endeavour to make their escape from their enemies, though they seek for places of the greatest secrecy and privacy;
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Amos 9:2

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Amos 9:2
When David would describe the omnipresence of God, , he doth it most elegantly in almost the same manner as our inspired herdman here doth. Wherever these seek to hide themselves from the pursuing vengeance, they shall be found; he is with them, from whom they hide. Though they dig into hell; the deepest recesses, the heart and centre of the earth or the grave; or literally, for so we may lay the supposition, were it possible to be done, to hide in the centre of the earth, or the depth of hell. Thence shall mine hand take them; for hell is naked to God, and the grave did not hide some of these sinners; when dead and buried, the rage of famine, or of the enemy, might dig some out of their graves. Though they climb up to heaven; could they fly up to heaven, they would be out of the reach of men; thence will I bring them down; but there they would meet an offended God, and he would east them down.
Trapp's Commentary on Amos 9:2
Amos 9:2 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:Ver. 2. Though they dig into hell, &c.] No starting hole shall secure them from the wrath of God and rage of the creature, set at work by him. "Hell and destruction are before the Lord," Proverbs 15:11, yea, hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering, Job 26:6. He hath a sharp eye, and a long hand, to pull men out of their lurking holes; as he did Adam out of the thicket, Manasseh from among the thorns, 2 Chronicles 33:11, Jonah from the sides of the ship, the Duke of Buckingham in Richard III’ s time, &c. "Be sure," saith Moses, "your sin will find you out," Numbers 32:23, and God’ s hand will hale you to punishment. Though they climb up to heaven] That is (by a hyperbole), to high and strong places; as the Babel builders, the Benjamites that fled to the rock Rimmon, and there abode four months, Judges 20:47, the gibing Jebusites, that were so confident of their stronghold of Zion that they flouted David and his forces, 2 Samuel 5:8, the proud prince of Tyre, and others. Thence will I bring them down] From their loftiest tops of pride and creature confidence, which God loves to confute and defeat: as I might instance in Nebuchadnezzar, Xerxes, Haman, Sejanus, Bajazet, that terror of the world, and (as he thought) superior to fortune, yet in an instant, with his state, in one battle overthrown into the bottom of misery and despair; and that in the midst of his great strength. The same end awaits the Pope and his hierarchyruet alto a culmine Roma, that Jupiter Capitolinus shall be one day unroosted by him, who casteth the wicked down to the ground, Psalms 147:6.
Ellicott's Commentary on Amos 9:2
(2) Dig.—For this expression break should be substituted. “Hell,” or rather, Hades (Sheôl), the dark abode of the gathered dead, is contrasted with “heaven,” the abode of light. Escape from the universal Lord is impossible.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Amos 9:2
Verse 2. Though they dig into hell] Though they should get into the deepest caverns; though they climb up to heaven - get to the most inaccessible heights; I will drag them up from the one, and pull them down from the other.
Cambridge Bible on Amos 9:2
Amos 9:1-6. The fifth vision, the smitten sanctuary. The people are all assembled for worship in their sanctuary: Jehovah is seen standing by the altar, and commanding the building to be so smitten that it may fall and destroy the worshippers: none, it is emphatically added, shall escape the irrevocable doom. The worshippers are manifestly intended to symbolize the entire nation.
Barnes' Notes on Amos 9:2
Height or depth are alike open to the Omnipresent God. The grave is not so awful as God. The sinner would gladly “dig through” into hell, bury himself, the living among the dead, if so he could escape the sight of God.
Whedon's Commentary on Amos 9:2
1. I saw — The other visions are introduced with “Jehovah showed unto me.” The Lord — He is the central figure in this vision, not a symbolic object or act. Standing — As in Amos 7:7.
