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 El SEÑOR me mostró otra visión: Estaba él de pie junto a un muro construido a plomo, y tenía una cuerda de plomada en la mano.

8 Y el SEÑOR me preguntó:—¿Qué ves, Amós?—Una cuerda de plomada —respondí.Entonces el Señor dijo:—Mira, voy a tirar la plomada en medio de mi pueblo Israel; no volveré a perdonarlo.

9 »Los altares paganos de Isaac serán destruidos,y arruinados los santuarios de Israel;me levantaré con espadacontra el palacio de Jeroboán.

10 Entonces Amasías, sacerdote de Betel, envió un mensaje a Jeroboán rey de Israel: «Amós está conspirando contra ti en medio de Israel. El país ya no aguanta tanta palabrería de Amós,

11 porque anda diciendo:»“Jeroboán morirá a espada,e Israel será llevado cautivolejos de su tierra”».
