Amós 2:1-3

1 Esto es lo que dice el Señor
:
«¡Los habitantes de Moab han pecado una y otra vez
y no permitiré que queden sin castigo!
Profanaron los huesos del rey de Edom,
reduciéndolos a cenizas.

2 Por lo tanto, haré caer fuego sobre la tierra de Moab
y todas las fortalezas de Queriot serán destruidas.
Los habitantes caerán en el ruido de la batalla,
entre gritos de guerra y toques del cuerno de carnero.

3 Y destruiré a su rey
y masacraré a todos sus príncipes»,
dice el Señor
.

Amós 2:1-3 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.
