Amos 2:6
Amos 2:6. El Versículo del Día, Martes, 25 de agosto de 2026, con una breve reflexión.
Así ha dicho Jehová: Por tres pecados de Israel, y por el cuarto, no desviaré su castigo; porque vendieron por dinero al justo, y al pobre por un par de zapatos:
Amos 2:6
Qué significa este versículo
It is the prophet Amos accusing Israel's powerful of being so corrupt that they would sell off a poor person for the price of a pair of sandals.
Amos was a shepherd from the southern kingdom of Judah, sent north to Israel in the 700s BC, a time when the country was prosperous and comfortable. He arrives with a list of charges, and the phrase "for three transgressions, yes, for four" is his way of saying the wrongdoing has piled up past counting.
The specific crime here is economic. Judges were taking bribes to rule against honest people, and the poor were being handed into debt-slavery over debts as small as the cost of a pair of sandals. Naming that price is the whole point. It shows how cheaply the powerful had come to hold a human life. Amos insists that God sees this ordinary, market-day cruelty as clearly as any grander sin.
