Amós 2:6-7

Juicio contra Israel

6 Así dice el SEÑOR:«Los delitos de Israel han llegado a su colmo;por tanto, no revocaré su castigo:Venden al justo por monedas,y al necesitado, por un par de sandalias.

7 Pisotean la cabeza de los desvalidoscomo si fuera el polvo de la tierra,y pervierten el camino de los pobres.Padre e hijo se acuestan con la misma mujer,profanando así mi santonombre.

Amós 2:6-7 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.
