Amos 4:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Amos 4:2

1 Hear this word, you ^acows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria,
Who oppress the ^bpoor,
Who crush the needy,
Who say to¹ your husbands, “Bring wine, let us ^cdrink!”

2 ^aThe Lord God has sworn by His holiness:
“Behold, the days shall come upon you
When He will take you away ^bwith fishhooks,
And your posterity with fishhooks.

3 ^aYou will go out through broken walls,
Each one straight ahead of her,
And you will¹ be cast into Harmon,”
Says the Lord.

4 “Come^a to Bethel and transgress,
At ^bGilgal multiply transgression;
^cBring your sacrifices every morning,
^dYour tithes every three¹ days.

5 ^aOffer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven,
Proclaim and announce ^bthe freewill offerings;
For this you love,
You children of Israel!”
Says the Lord God.
