Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
Escuchen ustedes que aplastan a los necesitados y destruyen a los pobres de la tierra.
Dios confronta a quienes oprimen y explotan a los más vulnerables de la sociedad.
📚 Contexto Histórico

This verse specifically warns merchants and leaders who were using deceitful practices, like manipulating weights and measures in trade, to oppress and eliminate the needy from society. Amos' message highlighted how such greed violated God's covenant expectations for justice and fairness among His people.
