Amos 5:23

Context

5:23 Take away from me your 1  noisy songs;

I don’t want to hear the music of your stringed instruments. 2 

Amos 8:4

Context

8:4 Listen to this, you who trample 3  the needy,

and do away with 4  the destitute in the land.

1 tn In this verse the second person suffixes are singular and not plural like they are in vv. 21-22 and vv. 25-27. Some have suggested that perhaps a specific individual or group within the nation is in view.

2 tn The Hebrew word probably refers to “harps” (NASB, NIV, NRSV) or “lutes” (NEB).

3 tn See the note on the word “trample” in 2:7.

4 tn Or “put an end to”; or “exterminate.”
