Amós 7:16 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 7:16

Now therefore hear thou the word of the Lord
Which I have from him concerning thee, and which he has pronounced upon thee and thy family: thou sayest, prophesy not against Israel;
when God has bid me prophesy: and drop not [thy word] against the house of Isaac;
say nothing against it, though in ever so soft and gentle a manner: it designs the same thing as before, only in different words; and is a prohibition of the prophet to prophesy against the ten tribes that descended from Isaac, in the line of Jacob. So the Targum paraphrases it,

``thou shalt not teach against the house of Isaac;''

or deliver out any prophecy or doctrine that is against them, or threatens them with any calamity. Jarchi says the phrase is expressive of prophecy; see ( Deuteronomy 32:2 ) ( Ezekiel 21:2 ) .

Amós 7:16 In-Context

14 E respondeu Amós, e disse a Amazias: Eu não sou profeta, nem filho de profeta, mas boieiro, e cultivador de sicômoros.

15 Mas o Senhor me tirou de após o gado, e o Senhor me disse: Vai, profetiza ao meu povo Israel.

16 Agora, pois, ouve a palavra do Senhor: Tu dizes: Não profetizes contra Israel, nem fales contra a casa de Isaque.

17 Portanto assim diz o Senhor: Tua mulher se prostituirá na cidade, e teus filhos e tuas filhas cairão � espada, e a tua terra será repartida a cordel; e tu morrerás numa terra imunda, e Israel certamente será levado cativo para fora da sua terra.
