Amós 9:13-15

13 «Llegará el día —dice el Señor
—
en el que el grano y las uvas crecerán más rápido
de lo que puedan ser cosechados.
¡Entonces los viñedos en las terrazas de las colinas de Israel
destilarán vino dulce!

14 Traeré a mi pueblo Israel de su cautiverio
en tierras lejanas;
reedificarán sus ciudades que están en ruinas
y nuevamente vivirán en ellas.
Plantarán viñedos y huertos,
comerán sus cosechas y beberán su vino.

15 Los plantaré firmemente allí
en su propia tierra.
Nunca más serán desarraigados
de la tierra que yo les di»,
dice el Señor
tu Dios.

Amós 9:13-15 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.
