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;
Esto dice el Señor: Israel ha cruzado la línea una y otra vez, y ya no voy a retroceder con las consecuencias. Han estado vendiendo a la gente buena por dinero y entregando a los pobres por prácticamente nada, como por un par de sandalias.
Dios juzgará a Israel por explotar y vender a los justos y pobres por ganancia material.
📚 Contexto Histórico
Amos was a shepherd and fig farmer from Judah who was called by God to prophesy against the Northern Kingdom of Israel in the 8th century BC, during a time of relative prosperity under King Jeroboam II. Despite their economic success, Israel had become deeply corrupt, with the elite exploiting the vulnerable through unjust practices like bribery and oppression. This verse highlights God's judgment on such sins, specifically condemning the sale of innocent people into slavery or the poor for trivial items like silver or shoes, as a symbol of widespread greed and disregard for human dignity.
