1 Así dice el SEÑOR:«Los delitos de Moab han llegado a su colmo;por tanto, no revocaré su castigo:Porque quemaron los huesos del rey de Edomhasta reducirlos a ceniza,

2 yo enviaré fuego sobre Moabque consumirá las fortalezas de Queriot,y morirá Moab en medio del estrépitode gritos de guerra y toques de trompeta.

3 Destruiré al gobernante en medio de su pueblo,y junto con él mataré a todos sus oficiales»,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.
