Amos 6:12 in Context — Amos 6
10 E quando seu parente vier para queimar [os cadáveres] ,para tirar os ossos de casa, então dirá ao que estiver dentro da da casa: Há ainda alguém contigo? E ele responderá: Não. Então aquele dirá: Cala-te! Não menciones o nome do SENHOR.
11 Porque eis que o SENHOR mandará, e ferirá a casa maior com quebrantamento, e a casa menor com despedaçamento.
12 Por acaso correm os cavalos pelos rochedos? Pode-se arar [ali] com bois? Porém vós pervertestes o juízo em veneno, e o fruto da justiça no amargo absinto.
13 Vós que vos alegrais por nada, que dizeis: Não conquistamos Carnaim por nossa própria força?
14 Diz o SENHOR Deus dos exércitos: Pois eis que eu levantarei contra vós, ó casa de Israel, uma nação que vos oprimirá desde a entrada de Hamate até o ribeiro de Arabá.
