Amos 4:12-13

12 C'est pourquoi je te traiterai de la même manière, Israël; et puisque je te traiterai ainsi, prépare-toi à la rencontre de ton Dieu, ô Israël!

13 Car voici celui qui a formé les montagnes, et créé le vent, et qui révèle à l'homme quelle est sa pensée; qui fait l'aube et l'obscurité, et qui marche sur les hauteurs de la terre; son nom est l'Éternel, le Dieu des armées.

Amos 4:12-13 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.
