Amós 7:3 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 7:3

The Lord repented for this
He heard the prayer of the prophet, and at his intercession averted, the threatened judgment; thus the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much, ( James 5:16 ) ; this is spoken after the manner of men; as men, when they repent of a thing, desist from it, so the Lord desisted from going on with this judgment; he did not change his mind, but changed the dispensations of his providence according to his mind and will: it shall not be, saith the Lord;
these grasshoppers or locusts, the Assyrian army, shall not at this time destroy the land of Israel: Pul king of Assyria took a sum of money of the king of Israel, and so turned back, and stayed not in the land, ( 2 Kings 15:19 2 Kings 15:20 ) .

Amós 7:3 In-Context

1 O Senhor Deus assim me fez ver: e eis que ele formava gafanhotos no princípio do rebentar da erva serôdia, e eis que era a erva serôdia depois da segada do rei.
2 E quando eles tinham comido completamente a erva da terra, eu disse: Senhor Deus, perdoa, peço-te; como subsistirá Jacó? pois ele é pequeno.
3 Então o Senhor se arrependeu disso. Não acontecerá, disse o Senhor.
4 Assim me mostrou o Senhor Deus: eis que o Senhor Deus ordenava que por meio do fogo se decidisse o pleito; o fogo, pois, consumiu o grande abismo, e também queria consumir a terra.
5 Então eu disse: Senhor Deus, cessa agora; como subsistirá Jacó? pois ele é pequeno.
