Amo 2:7 | MHM | STEP | v. 7 : Israel also oppresses the poor. They pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor , meaning they are greedy and take advantage of those who are already suffering. They turn aside the way of the meek , making life harder for gentle and patient people. God sees when people hurt others, especially those who cannot defend themselves. There is also terrible immorality in Israel. A man and his father will go in unto the same young woman . This is a shocking sin, even among non-believers. Such actions dishonor God’s name and make his people look bad to others (1 Corinthians 5:1 ).

‏ Amos 2:7

v. 7: Israel also oppresses the poor. They pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, meaning they are greedy and take advantage of those who are already suffering. They turn aside the way of the meek, making life harder for gentle and patient people. God sees when people hurt others, especially those who cannot defend themselves.

There is also terrible immorality in Israel. A man and his father will go in unto the same young woman. This is a shocking sin, even among non-believers. Such actions dishonor God’s name and make his people look bad to others (1 Corinthians 5:1 ^a).
