That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
Ustedes se recuestan en camas de marfil y se extienden sobre sus sofás lujosos, comiendo los mejores corderos y la carne más selecta como si nada.
Los ricos viven en lujo extremo sin preocuparse por las consecuencias de su exceso.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the 8th century BC, the prophet Amos was delivering God's message to the northern kingdom of Israel during a time of economic prosperity but growing social injustice. The wealthy elites were flaunting their luxury, such as sleeping on beds inlaid with ivory and feasting on the best cuts of meat, while exploiting the poor and ignoring God's demands for righteousness. This verse highlights the moral decay that accompanied their excess, warning of impending judgment if they did not repent.
