esos que dicen: “Nada malo nos sucederá”.

Amós 9:10 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 9:10

All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword
By the sword of the Assyrians, and of others, into whose countries they shall flee for shelter, ( Amos 9:1 Amos 9:4 ) ; even all such who are notorious sinners, abandoned to their lusts, obstinate and incorrigible; live in sin, and continue therein; repent not of sin, disbelieve the prophets of the Lord, and defy his threatenings, and put away the evil day far from them: which say, the evil shall not overtake nor prevent us;
the evil threatened by the prophet, the sword of the enemy, the desolation of their land, and captivity in a foreign land; these evils, if they came at all, which they gave little credit to, yet would not in their days; they would never come so near them, or so close to their heels as to overtake them, and seize them, or to get before them, and stop them fleeing from them; they promised themselves impunity, and were in no pain about the judgments threatened them; so daring and impudent, so irreligious and atheistical, were they in their thoughts, words, and actions; and therefore should all and everyone of them be destroyed.

Amós 9:10 In-Context

8 »Yo, el Señor
Soberano,
estoy vigilando a esta nación pecaminosa de Israel
y la destruiré
de la faz de la tierra.
Sin embargo, nunca destruiré por completo a la familia de Israel
—dice el Señor
—.

9 Pues daré la orden
y sacudiré a Israel junto con las demás naciones
como se sacude el grano en un cernidor,
sin embargo, ningún grano verdadero se perderá.

10 En cambio, todos los pecadores morirán a filo de espada,
esos que dicen: “Nada malo nos sucederá”.

11 Promesa de restauración
»En aquel día restauraré la casa caída
de David.
Repararé sus muros dañados.
De las ruinas, la reedificaré
y restauraré su gloria anterior.

12 Israel poseerá lo que quede de Edom
y todas las naciones que he llamado a ser mías».
El Señor
ha hablado
y cumplirá estas cosas.
