Amos Chapter 2

Next  ►

¹ Thus saith 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 Kerioth: 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, saith the LORD.

⁴ Thus saith 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 err, 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 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;

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 ye children of Israel? saith the LORD.

¹² But ye 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 handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.

¹⁶ And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.

Rev Tim George's Amos Chapter 2 comment on 8/23/2020, 2:19am...

Jehovah God raised up the sons of Israel to be prophets and the young men to be Nazarites, but the people told the sons not to prophesy and gave wine to drink to the Nazarites, who were not to drink wine. This is what Paul warned would happen in the last days, they would not endure sound doctrine, but would heap up teachers with itching ears. Alcoholism has destroyed many from preaching the gospel, as Paul told the young minister Timothy, to drink a little wine, for his stomach. Today it is not done in moderation and many are being defiled. May God use us to say thus saith the Lord, as Amos did and say we must obey God and not men. When we do this we will be able to preach the gospel in season when it is wanted and out of season when it is not desired. May God give us the grace to heed the call of the souls of men and women who need Jesus the only Mediator between God and man.

Ungodly Influences

In this chapter we see the Moabites influencing Israel to worship Baal even though they new God's Word concerning this issue. In making application we see the importance of not yoking or being influenced by the ungodly but to simply trust the Word of God. How about you? Do you see the how the ungodly try to influence the redeemed through their actions? Let us learn from our text today and the life Amos to see that the wicked will attempt to influence those who serve the Lord so let us hold fast to the Word of God so we will receive the blessings of God.
