Amós 4:4-5

4 «Adelante, ofrezcan sacrificios a los ídolos en Betel;
continúen desobedeciendo en Gilgal.
Ofrezcan sacrificios cada mañana
y lleven sus diezmos cada tercer día.

5 Presenten su pan hecho con levadura
como una ofrenda de gratitud.
¡Luego entreguen sus ofrendas voluntarias
para poder jactarse de ello en todas partes!
Este es el tipo de cosas que a ustedes, israelitas, les encanta hacer»,
dice el Señor
Soberano.

Amós 4:4-5 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.
