1 Assim diz o Senhor: Por três transgressões de Moabe, sim, por quatro, não retirarei o castigo; porque queimou os ossos do rei de Edom, até os reduzir a cal.

2 Por isso porei fogo a Moabe, e ele consumirá os palácios de Queriote; e Moabe morrerá com grande estrondo, com alarido, e som de trombeta.

3 E exterminarei o juiz do meio dele, e matarei com ele todos os seus príncipes, diz o Senhor.

4 Assim diz o Senhor: Por três transgressoes de Judá, sim, por quatro, não retirarei o castigo; porque rejeitaram a lei do Senhor, e não guardaram os seus estatutos, antes se deixaram enganar por suas próprias mentiras, após as quais andaram seus pais.

5 Por isso porei fogo a Judá, e ele consumirá os palácios de Jerusalém.

6 Assim diz o Senhor: Por três transgressões de Israel, sim, por quatro, não retirarei o castigo; porque vendem o justo por dinheiro, e o necessitado por um par de sapatos.

7 Pisam a cabeça dos pobres no pó da terra, pervertem o caminho dos mansos; um homem e seu pai entram à mesma moça, assim profanando o meu santo nome.

8 Também se deitam junto a qualquer altar sobre roupas empenhadas, e na casa de seu Deus bebem o vinho dos que têm sido multados.

9 Contudo eu destruí o amorreu diante deles, a altura do qual era como a dos cedros, e cuja força era como a dos carvalhos; mas destruí o seu fruto por cima, e as suas raízes por baixo.

10 Outrossim vos fiz subir da terra do Egito, e quarenta anos vos guiei no deserto, para que possuísseis a terra do amorreu.

11 E dentre vossos filhos suscitei profetas, e dentre os vossos mancebos, nazireus. Acaso não é isso assim, filhos de Israel? diz o Senhor.

12 Mas vós aos nazireus destes vinho a beber, e aos profetas ordenastes, dizendo: Não profetizeis.

13 Eis que eu vos apertarei no vosso lugar como se aperta um carro cheio de feixes.

14 Assim de nada valerá a fuga ao ágil, nem o forte corroborará a sua força, nem o valente salvará a sua vida.

15 E não ficará em pé o que maneja o arco, nem o ligeiro de pés se livrará, nem tampouco se livrara o que vai montado a cavalo;

16 e aquele que é corajoso entre os valentes fugirá nu naquele dia, diz o Senhor.

Exploring the Meaning of Amós 2      

Napsal(a) E. Taylor and Helen Kennedy

In the Book of Amos, chapter two begins with the Lord declaring his anger against the people of Moab, Judea, and Israel. They have committed various wrongs against the Lord and the church, despite His efforts to guide them, and the chapter goes on to suggest that the Lord is losing faith in His people.

Verses 1-8 of this chapter describe the specific ways in which people can destroy or misuse the good and truth of the Word.

Verses 1-3 discuss the Moabites specifically. They represent people who corrupt the good and truth of the church, meaning they would twist what they learned from the Word to suit their own selfish purposes. Bones represent natural truths that we can use as a framework to support all higher knowledge that we learn, so the fact that people were ‘burning bones’ means they destroyed their own foundation to gain spiritual knowledge. In verse 3, the Lord says that he will cut off the judge and the prince, meaning that the Moabites’ failure to determine what is good (like the judge), and lead a life based in truth (like the prince) will not stand against the real spiritual principles of the Lord.

Verses 4-5 are about people who destroy celestial things from the Word, by turning their hearts away from the Lord. The people of Judea had believed they were the Lord’s chosen people for so many generations at this point that they grew complacent, and no longer felt they needed to obey the Lord’s commandments.

Verses 6-8 tell what can happen when people pervert spiritual truths from the church, and turn them into falsities. Swedenborg writes that most of the images from these verses - silver, shoes, dust, wine - can all represent either falsity, or only the most external type of truth. The Israelites were turning to these falsities and to their own greed, instead of using the Lord’s truths to help the poor and the meek.

In verses 9-11, the Lord reminds the children of Israel of everything he has done to prepare them for salvation. He fought for them and delivered them from Egypt, lifted up their leaders and prophets, and provided them with the truths they would need in order to be regenerated.

He also shows that He has the strength to punish them, because He’s already overcome the Amorites, who symbolize evil in general (Secrets of Heaven 6306).

Verses 12-16 describe how the Israelites perverted the knowledge the Lord tried to give them. Instead of trusting what the Lord had taught them, they turned to their own self-righteousness for guidance. Since they thought they had all the answers, they corrupted the Nazarites and silenced the prophets. Without a proper understanding of the Lord’s teachings, the people were no longer equipped to fight against evils or to grow spiritually.

At face value, this chapter depicts the Lord as an angry god who will punish those who disobey him. What seems to be anger is actually the Lord fiercely protecting us, and calling us to follow Him. This chapter reminds us to turn our hearts toward the Lord, and to live according to the truths of the Word.
