Amós 2:6-7

6 Assim diz o Senhor: Por três transgressões de Israel, sim, por quatro, não retirarei o castigo; porque vendem o justo por dinheiro, e o necessitado por um par de sapatos.

7 Pisam a cabeça dos pobres no pó da terra, pervertem o caminho dos mansos; um homem e seu pai entram � mesma moça, assim profanando o meu santo nome.

Amós 2:6-7 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO AMOS 2

In this chapter the prophet foretells the calamities that should come upon the Moabites for their transgressions, Am 2:1-3; and the destruction of Judah and Jerusalem for their iniquities, Am 2:4,5; also the judgments of God that should come upon Israel the ten tribes for their sins, which sins are enumerated; their oppression of the poor, their lewdness and idolatry, Am 2:6-8; and which are aggravated by the blessings of goodness bestowed upon them, both temporal and spiritual, Am 2:9-12; wherefore they are threatened with ruin, which would be inevitable, notwithstanding their swiftness, strength, and courage, and their skill in shooting arrows, and riding horses, Am 2:13-16.
