Amós 2:12 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 2:12

But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink
Contrary to their vow and calling, and in contempt of it, and to make them like themselves; they either persuaded them, or forced them to it: and commanded the prophets, saying, prophesy not;
hard and heavy things, judgments and denunciations of vengeance, only smooth things; by this authoritative language it appears that this is said of the rulers and governors of the people, as king, princes, and priests; see ( Amos 7:12 Amos 7:13 ) .

Amós 2:12 In-Context

10 Outrossim vos fiz subir da terra do Egito, e quarenta anos vos guiei no deserto, para que possuĂ­sseis a terra do amorreu.
11 E dentre vossos filhos suscitei profetas, e dentre os vossos mancebos, nazireus. Acaso nĂ£o Ă© isso assim, filhos de Israel? diz o Senhor.
12 Mas vĂ³s aos nazireus destes vinho a beber, e aos profetas ordenastes, dizendo: NĂ£o profetizeis.
13 Eis que eu vos apertarei no vosso lugar como se aperta um carro cheio de feixes.
14 Assim de nada valerĂ¡ a fuga ao Ă¡gil, nem o forte corroborarĂ¡ a sua força, nem o valente salvarĂ¡ a sua vida.
