Amós 7:9

9 Los lugares altos de Isaac serán asolados y los santuarios de Israel destruidos; y yo me levantaré con espada contra la casa de Jeroboam.

Amós 7:9 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 7:9

And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate
Such as the ten tribes of Israel, who descended from Isaac, built at Beersheba, in imitation of Isaac, and pleading his example; who worshipped there, though not idols, as they, but the true God; and in commemoration of his being bound upon an altar on Mount Moriah: but these, as the Septuagint version renders it, were "high places of laughter", ridiculous in the eyes of the Lord, despised by him, and so should be made desolate: and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste;
the temples built for the calves at Dan and Bethel, and other places: and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword;
or, as the Targum,

``I will raise up against the house of Jeroboam those that slay with the sword;''

this was fulfilled by Shallum, who conspired against Zachariah the son of Jeroboam, and slew him, and reigned in his stead, which put an end to the family of Jeroboam, ( 2 Kings 15:10 ) .

Amós 7:9 In-Context

7 Esto El me mostró: He aquí, el Señor estaba junto a un muro hecho a plomo, y tenía en su mano una plomada.

8 Y el SEÑOR me dijo: ¿Qué ves, Amós? Y respondí: Una plomada. Entonces el Señor dijo: He aquí, pondré una plomada en medio de mi pueblo Israel. Ya no volveré a dejarlos sin castigo.

9 Los lugares altos de Isaac serán asolados y los santuarios de Israel destruidos; y yo me levantaré con espada contra la casa de Jeroboam.

10 Entonces Amasías, sacerdote de Betel, envió palabra a Jeroboam, rey de Israel, diciendo: Amós conspira contra ti en medio de la casa de Israel; la tierra ya no puede soportar todas sus palabras.

11 Porque así dice Amós: "Jeroboam morirá a espada y ciertamente Israel saldrá en cautiverio de su tierra."
