Israel Manteve-se Rebelde

1 Ouçam esta palavra, vocês, vacas de Basã que estão no monte de Samaria,vocês que oprimem os pobres e esmagam os necessitadose dizem aos senhores deles: “Tragam bebidas e vamos beber!”
2 O SENHOR, o Soberano, jurou pela sua santidade:“Certamente chegará o tempoem que vocês serão levados com ganchos,e os últimos de vocês com anzóis.
3 Cada um de vocês sairápelas brechas do muro,e serão atirados na direção do Harmom”,[a]declara o SENHOR.

Amós 4:1-3 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.
