Amós 4:1-3

1 Oíd esta palabra, vacas de Basán, que estáis en el monte de Samaria, las que oprimís a los pobres, quebrantáis a los menesterosos, y decís a vuestros maridos: Traed ahora, para que bebamos.

2 El Señor DIOS ha jurado por su santidad: He aquí, vienen sobre vosotras días en que os llevarán con garfios, y a vuestro remanente con anzuelos.

3 Saldréis por las brechas, una tras otra, y seréis expulsadas al Harmóndeclara el SEÑOR.

Amós 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.
