11 »Yo les envié destruccióncomo la de Sodoma y Gomorra;¡quedaron como tizones arrebatados del fuego!Con todo, ustedes no se volvieron a mí—afirma el SEÑOR—.

Amós 4:11 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 4:11

I have overthrown [some] of you, as God overthrew Sodom and
Gomorrah
Either their houses were burnt, or their bodies consumed by fire from heaven, with lightning; not whole cities, but the habitations of some particular persons, or they themselves: and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning;
some escaped such an awful calamity, their houses were not consumed, while others were; and their persons were safe, while others, just by them, were struck dead at once: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord;
neither the judgments of God on themselves and others had any effect upon them to humble and reclaim them: such dispensations, without the grace of God is exerted, rather harden than soften; and, instead of bringing men to repentance, cause them to blaspheme; see ( Revelation 16:8-11 ) ; nor will the mercy and goodness of God, which should lead persons to repentance, attain that end, unless accompanied with the Spirit and grace of God; who, notwithstanding such mercies and deliverances, will remain senseless, stupid obdurate, and impenitent; see ( Revelation 9:20 Revelation 9:21 ) .

Amós 4:11 In-Context

9 »Castigué sus campos con plagas y sequía;la langosta devoró sus huertos y viñedos,sus higueras y olivares.Con todo, ustedes no se volvieron a mí—afirma el SEÑOR—.

10 »Les mandé plagascomo las de Egipto.Pasé por la espada a sus mejores jóvenes,junto con los caballos capturados.Hice que llegara hasta sus propias naricesel hedor de los cadáveres.Con todo, ustedes no se volvieron a mí—afirma el SEÑOR—.

11 »Yo les envié destruccióncomo la de Sodoma y Gomorra;¡quedaron como tizones arrebatados del fuego!Con todo, ustedes no se volvieron a mí—afirma el SEÑOR—.

12 »Por eso, Israel, voy a actuar contra ti;y como voy a hacerlo,¡prepárate, Israel, para encontrarte con tu Dios!»

13 He aquí el que forma las montañas,el que crea el viento,el que revela al hombre sus designios,el que convierte la aurora en tinieblas,el que marcha sobre las alturas de la tierra:su nombre es el SEÑOR Dios Todopoderoso.
