Amós 7:3 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 7:3

The Lord repented for this
He heard the prayer of the prophet, and at his intercession averted, the threatened judgment; thus the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much, ( James 5:16 ) ; this is spoken after the manner of men; as men, when they repent of a thing, desist from it, so the Lord desisted from going on with this judgment; he did not change his mind, but changed the dispensations of his providence according to his mind and will: it shall not be, saith the Lord;
these grasshoppers or locusts, the Assyrian army, shall not at this time destroy the land of Israel: Pul king of Assyria took a sum of money of the king of Israel, and so turned back, and stayed not in the land, ( 2 Kings 15:19 2 Kings 15:20 ) .

Amós 7:3 In-Context

1 El Señor DIOS me mostró así; y he aquí, él criaba langostas al principio que comenzaba a crecer el heno tardío ; y he aquí que el heno tardío creció después de las siegas del rey.
2 Y acaeció que como acabó de comer la hierba de la tierra, yo dije: Señor DIOS, perdona ahora; ¿quién levantará a Jacob? Porque es pequeño.
3 Se arrepintió el SEÑOR de esto: No será, dijo el SEÑOR.
4 El Señor DIOS después me mostró así: y he aquí, llamaba para juzgar por fuego el Señor DIOS; y consumió un gran abismo, y consumió la heredad.
5 Y dije: Señor DIOS, cesa ahora; ¿quién levantará a Jacob? Porque es pequeño.
