Amós 4:12-13

12 “Por isso, ainda o castigarei, ó Israel,e, porque eu farei isto com você,prepare-se para encontrar-se com o seu Deus, ó Israel”.

13 Aquele que forma os montes,cria o ventoe revela os seus pensamentos ao homem,aquele que transforma a alvorada em trevas,e pisa as montanhas da terra;SENHOR, Deus dos Exércitos, é o seu nome.

Amós 4:12-13 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.
