SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:13

Pues he aquí, yo os apretaré en vuestro lugar, como se aprieta el carro lleno de haces;

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Amos 2:13

Verse 13. Behold, I am pressed under you] The marginal reading is better: "Behold, I will press your place, as a cart full of sheaves presseth." I will bring over you the wheel of
destruction; and it shall grind your place-your city and temple, as the wheel of a cart laden with sheaves presses down the ground, gravel, and stones over which it rolls.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 13. Behold, I are pressed under you , etc.] With the weight of their
sins, with which they had made him to serve, and had wearied him; his patience was quite wore out, he could bear them no longer: as a cart is pressed [that is] full of sheaves ; as a cart in harvest time, in which the sheaves of corn are carried home; when one sheaf is laid upon another, till they can lay no more, and the cart is loaded and overloaded with them, and ready to break, or be pressed into the earth with them: thus.

Jehovah represents himself as loaded and burdened with the sins of these people, and therefore would visit for them, and inflict deserved punishment. Some render it actively, “behold, I press” f96 , or “am about to press your place, as a cart full of sheaves presseth” f97 ; the horse or horses which draw it, especially the last; or the ground it goes upon; or as a cart stuck with iron spikes, and loaded with stones, being drawn over a corn floor, presses the full sheaves, and beats out the grain, which was their way of pressing it: so the Lord signifies he would afflict and distress this people, bring them into strait circumstances, by a close siege, and other judgments, which should ruin and destroy them; and which was first begun by Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and finished by Shalmaneser, who carried away the ten tribes captive. So the Targum, “behold, I bring distress upon you, and it shall straiten you in your place, as a cart is straitened which is loaded with sheaves.”


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 9-16 - We need often to be reminded of the mercies we have received; which ad much to the evil of the sins we have committed. They had helps for their souls, which taught them how to make good use of their earthl enjoyments, and were therefore more valuable. Faithful ministers ar great blessings to any people; but it is God that raises them up to be so. Sinners' own consciences will witness that he has not been wantin to them in the means of grace. They did what they could to lea believers aside. Satan and his agents are busy to corrupt the minds of young people who look heavenward; they overcome many by drawing them to the love of mirth and pleasure, and into drinking company. Multitude of young men who bade fair as professors of religion, have erre through strong drink, and have been undone for ever. The Lord complain of sin, especially the sins of his professing people, as a burden to him. And though his long-suffering be tired, his power is not, and s the sinner will find to his cost. When men reject God's word, addin obstinacy to sin, and this becomes the general character of a people they will be given up to misery, notwithstanding all their boaste power and resources. May we then humble ourselves before the Lord, for all our ingratitude and unfaithfulness __________________________________________________________________
