Amós 6:12

Listen to Amós 6:12
12 ¿Pueden galopar los caballos sobre rocas grandes?
¿Se pueden usar bueyes para ararlas?
Así de necios son ustedes cuando convierten la justicia en veneno
y el fruto dulce de la rectitud en amargura.

Amós 6:12 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 6:12

Shall horses run upon the rocks? or will [one] plough [there]
with oxen?
&c.] Will any man be so weak and foolish, to propose or attempt a race for horses upon rocks, where they and their riders would be in danger of breaking their necks? or would any man act so unwise a part, as to take a yoke of oxen to plough with them upon a rock, where no impression can be made? as vain and fruitless a thing it would be to attempt to bring such persons under a conviction of their sins, and to repentance for them, and reformation from them, who are given up to a judicial hardness of heart, like that of a rock, as are the persons described in the next clause; or as such methods with horses and oxen would be contrary to all the rules of reason and prudence, so as contrary a part do such persons act whose characters are next given, and there is no probability of bringing them to better sense and practice of things; for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness
into hemlock;
that which would be beneficial to a nation, than which nothing is more so, as the exercise of justice, and judgment, into that which is bitter and pernicious to it, as injustice and oppression; see ( Amos 5:7 ) .

Amós 6:12 In-Context

10 Luego, cuando el pariente responsable de deshacerse de los muertos
entre en la casa para llevarse los cuerpos, le preguntará al último sobreviviente: «¿Está alguien más contigo?». Entonces, cuando la persona comience a jurar: «No, por. . .», lo interrumpirá y dirá: «¡Cállate! Ni siquiera menciones el nombre del Señor
»).
11 Cuando el Señor
dé la orden,
las casas, tanto grandes como pequeñas, serán reducidas a escombros.
12 ¿Pueden galopar los caballos sobre rocas grandes?
¿Se pueden usar bueyes para ararlas?
Así de necios son ustedes cuando convierten la justicia en veneno
y el fruto dulce de la rectitud en amargura.
13 Ustedes se jactan de su conquista de Lo-debar
y alardean: «¿No tomamos Carnáyim
por nuestra propia fuerza?».
14 «Oh pueblo de Israel, estoy a punto de levantar una nación enemiga contra ti
—dice el Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales—.
Los oprimirán por todo su territorio,
desde Lebo-hamat en el norte
hasta el valle de Arabá en el sur».
