Amos 4:1-3

1 Ascoltate questa parola, vacche di Basan, che state sul monte di Samaria, voi, che opprimete gli umili, che maltrattate i poveri, che dite ai vostri signori: "Portate qua, che beviamo!"

2 Il Signore, l’Eterno, l’ha giurato per la sua santità: Ecco, verranno per voi de’ giorni, in cui sarete tratte fiori con degli uncini, e i vostri figliuoli con gli ami da pesca;

3 voi uscirete per le brecce, ognuna dritto davanti a sé, e abbandonerete i vostri palazzi.

Amos 4:1-3 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO AMOS 4

In this chapter, the great ones, or the people of Israel, are threatened with calamities for their oppression of the poor, Am 4:1-3; and in an ironic manner are reproved for their idolatry, Am 4:4,5; then follows an enumeration of several judgments that had been upon them, yet had had no effect on them, to bring them to repentance, nor even mercies, Am 4:6-11; and notwithstanding all this, in a wonderful gracious manner, they are called upon to prepare to meet their God, who is described by his power, greatness, and goodness, Am 4:12,13.
