Am 8, 1-14

1 Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit. 2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more. 3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence. 4 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, 5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? 6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat? 7 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. 8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day: 10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day. 11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: 12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. 14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.

Verš 14

They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.

Am 5:5 - But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.

Verš 5

Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?

Oz 12:7 - He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.

Verš 6

That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?

Am 2:6 - Thus saith 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 8,1-3 - Kôš plný ovocia znamená oberačky. I na Izrael prichádza súd, ktorý sa zvýrazňuje obrazom oberačiek a žatvy, porov. Joel 4,13–14 a Mt 13,39. V Izraeli sa budú ozývať len žalospevy, a potom zavládne mŕtve ticho.

Am 8,5 - Lakomcom sa dlhými vidia sviatok a sobota, keď nebolo slobodno kupčiť. Efa bola sýpková miera (asi 36,44 litrov).

Am 8,7 - Pýcha Jakuba je tu sám Pán; na seba prisahal.

Am 8,10 - Vrecovina, hrubé vrecovité rúcho, žinenka a plešivá, oholená hlava boli znaky smútku. O smútku za jedináčikom porov. 2 Sam 1,26; Jer 6,26; Zach 12,10.

Am 8,11 - Teraz znevažujú prorokov (porov. 7,10 n.). Príde čas, keď budú túžiť po Božom slove, ale Pán sa viac neozve prostredníctvom svojich prorokov.

Am 8,14 - Hriech Samárie boli zlaté teľce v Beteli a Dane; porov. pozn. k 2,8. – O Bersabe pozri pozn. k 5,5. Arabi podnes prisahajú na púť do Mekky.
