Amós 9:11-15

11 En aquel día yo levantaré el Tabernáculo de David, caído, y cerraré sus portillos, y levantaré sus ruinas, y lo edificaré como en el tiempo pasado;

12 para que aquellos sobre los cuales es llamado mi nombre, posean el resto de Idumea, y a todos los gentiles, dijo el SEÑOR que hace esto.

13 He aquí vienen días, dice el SEÑOR, en que el que ara alcanzará al segador, y el pisador de las uvas al que lleve la simiente; y los montes destilarán mosto, y todos los collados se derretirán.

14 Y tornaré el cautiverio de mi pueblo Israel, y edificarán las ciudades asoladas, y las habitarán; y plantarán viñas, y beberán el vino de ellas; y harán huertos, y comerán el fruto de ellos.

15 Pues los plantaré sobre su tierra, y nunca más serán arrancados de su tierra la cual yo les di, dijo el SEÑOR Dios tuyo.

Amós 9:11-15 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.
