Am 2, 1-16

1 "Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime: " 2 But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet: 3 And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, says the LORD. 4 "Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to go astray, after the which their fathers have walked: " 5 But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem. 6 "Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes; " 7 That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name: 8 And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god. 9 "Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath. " 10 Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite. 11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O all of you children of Israel? says the LORD. 12 "But all of you gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not. " 13 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves. 14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself: 15 "Neither shall he stand that handles the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rides the horse deliver himself. " 16 And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, says the LORD.

Verš 6

"Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes; "

Am 2,1-3 - Nevieme, kedy spáchali Moabčania tento zločin zhanobenia mŕtvoly. Moabské mesto Kariot sa spomína aj u Jer 48,24.41. Jeho poloha nie je nám známa, ale sotva je totožné s Kariataimom, spomínaným u Jer 48,1.23. – Miesto "na vápno" prekladá Vulg "na popol".

Am 2,4 - "Lži" sú modly.

Am 2,6 - Výrok proti Izraelu je najdlhší, pretože Amos hovorí k Izraelitom. Všetky ostatné výroky boli len úvodom k tomuto výroku. – Prvý zločin je úplatkárstvo. Sudcovia za biedny úplatok odsúdia nevinného.

Am 2,7 - Ďalej sa vyčíta Izraelu utláčanie sociálne slabších a nehanebnosť blízka krvismilstvu.

Am 2,8 - Ak veriteľ vzal od chudobného dlžníka do zálohy plášť, musel mu ho večer vrátiť, aby sa chudobný mal čím v noci prikryť (Ex 22,25; Dt 24,12). Izraeliti sa na takýchto plášťoch vyvaľujú a hodujú pri víne, kúpenom za pokuty, nespravodlivo vybrané od utláčaných; robia to zrovna na posvätných miestach. Domom Boha sa tu volajú svätyne v Beteli a Dane, kde Izraeliti uctievali Boha, zobrazeného zlatým teľaťom. Prorok neschvaľuje túto zakázanú bohoslužbu, iba zdôrazňuje, že Izraeliti páchajú neláskavosti k blížnym na miestach, ktoré sami pokladajú za sväté.
