Amós 9:10-15

10 A espada morirán todos los pecadores de mi pueblo, los que dicen: "No nos alcanzará ni se nos acercará la desgracia."

11 En aquel día levantaré el tabernáculo caído de David, repararé sus brechas, levantaré sus ruinas, y la reedificaré como en tiempo pasado,

12 para que tomen posesión del remanente de Edom y de todas las naciones donde se invoca mi nombre declara el SEÑOR, que hace esto.

13 He aquí, vienen díasdeclara el SEÑOR cuando el arador alcanzará al segador, y el que pisa la uva al que siembra la semilla; cuando destilarán vino dulce los montes, y todas las colinas se derretirán.

14 Restauraré el bienestar de mi pueblo Israel, y ellos reedificarán las ciudades asoladas y habitarán en ellas; también plantarán viñas y beberán su vino, y cultivarán huertos y comerán sus frutos.

15 Los plantaré en su tierra, y no serán arrancados jamás de la tierra que les he dado dice el SEÑOR tu Dios.

Amós 9:10-15 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO AMOS 9

This chapter contains the fifth and last vision the prophet saw; which represents the certain desolation of the land, city, and temple, and the slaughter of all sorts of persons, high and low, none should escape it, Am 9:1; be they where they would, they should be found out, whether in hell or heaven, on the tops of the highest mountains, or in the bottom of the sea, or in a foreign land, since the eyes of the Lord were upon them for evil, Am 9:2-4; nor could they hope to escape, when they considered his greatness and his power, and what he could do, and had done; and how they had behaved towards him, even though they were the people he had brought out of Egypt, Am 9:5-7; but though the sinful kingdom should be destroyed, yet not utterly, a remnant should be saved, Am 9:8-10; and the chapter is concluded with gracious promises of raising up the tabernacle of David fallen down, and of the return of the people of Israel to their own land; and of their settlement and continuance in it, never more to depart from it, Am 9:11-15.
