Amós 2:9-12

Listen to Amós 2:9-12
9 »Pero ante los ojos de mi pueblo
destruí a los amorreos,
aunque eran tan altos como cedros
y tan fuertes como robles.
Destruí el fruto de sus ramas
y arranqué sus raíces.
10 Fui yo quien los rescató a ustedes de Egipto
y los guió por el desierto durante cuarenta años
para que pudieran poseer la tierra de los amorreos.
11 Elegí a algunos de sus hijos para ser profetas
y a otros para ser nazareos.
¿Acaso puedes negar esto, Israel, pueblo mío?
—pregunta el Señor
—.
12 Pero ustedes hicieron que los nazareos pecaran, forzándolos a beber vino,
y les ordenaron a los profetas: “¡Cállense!”

Amós 2:9-12 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.
