Amos 2:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Amos 2:5

3 And I will cut off ^athe judge from its midst,
And slay all its princes with him,”
Says the Lord.

Judgment on Judah

4 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of ^aJudah, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
^bBecause they have despised the law of the Lord,
And have not kept His commandments.
^cTheir lies lead them astray,
Lies ^dwhich their fathers followed.

5 ^aBut I will send a fire upon Judah,
And it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”

Judgment on Israel

6 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of ^aIsrael, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because ^bthey sell the righteous for silver,
And the ^cpoor for a pair of sandals.

7 They¹ pant after the dust of the earth which is on the head of the poor,
And ^apervert the way of the humble.
^bA man and his father go in to the same girl,
^cTo defile My holy name.
