Am 6, 1-14

1 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came! 2 Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border? 3 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near; 4 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; 5 That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David; 6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph. 7 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed. 8 The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein. 9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die. 10 And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD. 11 For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts. 12 Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock: 13 Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength? 14 But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of the wilderness.

Verš 1

Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!

Ex 19:5 - Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:

Jer 2:3 - Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.

Verš 3

Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;

Am 5:18 - Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.

Ez 12:27 - Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.

Verš 5

That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David;

Iz 5:12 - And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.

Verš 6

That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

Iz 5:12 - And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.

Verš 7

Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.

Iz 5:13 - Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

Verš 12

Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:

Am 5:7 - Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,

Am 6,2 - O Kalane a Emate pozri pozn. k Iz 10,9. O Gete pozri pozn. k Am 1,6–8. Tieto mestá kedysi prekvitali ako dnes Izrael, jednako padli do rúk nepriateľa. Ani Izrael nemá príčiny byť bezstarostným.

Am 6,3 - Izraeliti chcú odďaľovať svoju záhubu, ale zato panuje medzi nimi násilie.

Am 6,4-6 - O Jozefovi pozri pozn. k 5,6.

Am 6,9 - Porov. 5,3.

Am 6,10 - V čase vojny a moru aj Izraeliti pálili mŕtvoly a kosti potom pochovali (1 Sam 31,12 n.; porov. Lv 20,14; 21,9). – Posledný človek, ktorý ostal v dome ešte nažive, odpovedá tomu, čo vynáša z domov mŕtvoly: "Len nie spomenúť Pánovo meno!" Sú to slová zúfalca, ktorý všetko nešťastie pripisuje Pánovi a ani od neho už nečaká pomoc.

Am 6,12 - Hnať kone do behu po skalách a na voloch orať more znamená prevrátiť prirodzený poriadok. Podobne prevrátili Izraeliti mravný poriadok.

Am 6,14 - Emat pozri Iz 10,9; porov. 1 Kr 8,65. Potok púšte je asi dnešný Wádiel Hasá medzi Moabskom a Edomskom.
