Amós 6:8-14

Listen to Amós 6:8-14
8 Jurou o Senhor Deus por si mesmo, diz o Senhor Deus dos ex茅rcitos: Abomino a soberba de Jac贸, e odeio os seus pal谩cios; por isso entregarei a cidade e tudo o que nela h谩.
9 E se ficarem de resto dez homens numa casa, morrer茫o.
10 Quando o parente de algu茅m, aquele que o queima, o tomar para levar-lhe os ossos para fora da casa, e disser ao que estiver no mais interior da casa: Est谩 ainda algu茅m contigo? e este responder: Ningu茅m; ent茫o lhe dir谩 ele: Cala-te, porque n茫o devemos fazer men莽茫o do nome do Senhor.
11 Pois eis que o Senhor ordena, e a casa grande ser谩 despeda莽ada, e a casa pequena reduzida a fragmentos.
12 Acaso correr茫o cavalos pelos rochedos? Lavrar-se-谩 ali com bois? Mas v贸s haveis tornado o ju铆zo em fel, e o fruto da justi莽a em alosna;
13 v贸s que vos alegrais de nada, v贸s que dizeis: N茫o nos temos n贸s tornado poderosos por nossa pr贸pria for莽a?
14 Pois eis que eu levantarei contra v贸s, 贸 casa de Israel, uma na莽茫o, diz o Senhor Deus dos ex茅rcitos, e ela vos oprimir谩, desde a entrada de Hamate at茅 o ribeiro da Arab谩.

Amós 6:8-14 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO AMOS 6

This chapter seems to be directed both to the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and the ten tribes of Israel, under the names of Zion and Samaria, and to the principal men in both; who are reproved and threatened for their carnal security and self-confidence, being in no fear of the evil day, though they had no reason for it no more than other people, Am 6:1-3; are charged with wantonness, luxury, intemperance, and want of sympathy with those in distress, Am 6:4-6; therefore are threatened to be carried captive first, and their city to be delivered up; which, for the certainty of it, is not only said, but swore to, Am 6:7,8; and a great mortality in every house, and the destruction of all houses, both great and small, Am 6:9-11; and since a reformation of them seemed impracticable, and not to be expected, but they gloried in their wealth, and boasted of their strength, therefore they should be afflicted by a foreign nation raised against them, which affliction should be general, from one end of the country to the other, Am 6:12-14.
