Bible Commentary for Amos 2:5

Wesley's Notes for Amos 2:5


2:3 The judge - The governor that is, every one of them.

2:4 Lies - Idols. To err - Their idolatry blinded them, partly from the natural tendency of this sin, and partly from the just judgment of God. After which - Idols. Walked - Successively, one generation after another.

2:6 Shoes - The smallest bribe, exprest here proverbially.

2:7 The people - That make a prey even of the poor afflicted ones, who walk with dust on their heads. Turn aside - Maliciously interpret the actions, words, and designs of the humble and meek. Will go in - These corrupt judges commit also that lewdness which the Heathens abhor.
