Am 4, 1-13

1 Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink. 2 The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks. 3 And ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before her; and ye shall cast them into the palace, saith the LORD. 4 Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years: 5 And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD. 6 And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. 7 And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered. 8 So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. 9 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. 10 I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. 11 I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. 12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel. 13 For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.

Verš 9

I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.

Dt 28:22 - The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.

Joe 1:4 - That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten.

Joe 2:25 - And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.

Verš 11

I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.

Gn 19:24 - Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;

Verš 4

Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:

Oz 12:11 - Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.

Verš 5

And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

Lv 2:1 - And when any will offer a meat offering unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:

Lv 2:15 - And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meat offering.

Lv 7:13 - Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.

Verš 13

For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.

Nah 1:3 - The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

Am 4,1 - Ženy Samárie, ktoré si na škodu chudobných vynucujú od svojich mužov ("pánov") hody, prirovnávajú sa ku kravám z hojných pastiev Bášanu (pozri pozn. k Iz 2,13).

Am 4,2 - Obraz o udiciach pozri Jer 16,16; porov. Hab 1,15. Ženy budú násilím odvedené do zajatia. Cesta do Asýrska viedla popri vrchu Hermon, ktorý je severne od Palestíny.

Am 4,4 - Prorok posmešne vyzýva Izraelitov, aby ešte horlivejšie konali zakázanú bohoslužbu, aby nie každý rok, ale každé tri dni dávali desiatky, ba aby obetovali ešte aj kvasené chleby, hoci sa kvas podľa Lv 2,11 nesmel dostať na oltár. A dobrovoľné obety nech vyhlásia za povinné. Týmto prepínaním sa naznačuje nerozumnosť nezákonitej bohoslužby. O Beteli a Galgale pozri pozn. k Oz 4,15.

Am 4,6 - "Prázdne zuby" znamená hlad.

Am 4,7 - Keď pred žatvou tri mesiace neprší, je katastrofálna neúroda. A že suchota nebola prirodzená, ale bol to Boží zásah, dokazuje skutočnosť, že miestami, kde Boh chcel, predsa pršalo.

Am 4,9 - O úpale pozri pozn. k 1 Kr 8,37.

Am 4,10 - Zápach v táboroch bol z mŕtvol. Všetkými týmito trestmi hrozil Boh už v Dt 28 – 29.

Am 4,12 - Boh hrozí akýmsi nevysloveným trestom a táto neurčitosť zväčšuje hrôzu u tých, na ktorých čaká trest.
