Amós 7:11

11 Porque así ha dicho Amós: Jeroboam morirá a cuchillo, e Israel pasará de su tierra en cautiverio.

Amós 7:11 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 7:11

For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword
Which was not saying truth; for Amos said not that Jeroboam should die by the sword, but that God would raise up the sword against his house or family; nor did Jeroboam die by the sword, but his son Zachariah did: and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land;
this was true; Amos did say this, and he afterwards confirms it. This is the amount of the charge brought against the prophet, which has some truth and some falsehood mixed together; and by which method the priest hoped to gain his point, and get the prophet either banished or put to death.

Amós 7:11 In-Context

9 y los altares de Isaac serán destruidos, y los santuarios de Israel serán asolados; y me levantaré con espada sobre la casa de Jeroboam.

10 Entonces Amasías sacerdote de Bet-el envió a decir a Jeroboam, rey de Israel: Amós se ha conjurado contra ti en medio de la Casa de Israel; la tierra no puede ya sufrir todas sus palabras.

11 Porque así ha dicho Amós: Jeroboam morirá a cuchillo, e Israel pasará de su tierra en cautiverio.

12 Y Amasías dijo a Amós: Vidente, vete, y huye a tierra de Judá, y come allá tu pan, y profetiza allá;

13 y no profetices más en Bet-el, porque es santuario del rey, y cabecera del reino.
