Amos, 9

1. I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and he said, 'Strike the top of the pillar so that the thresholds shake! Smash their heads in, one and all! And I shall put any survivors to the sword; whoever runs away will not run far, whoever escapes will not make good his escape.

1. I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.

2. Should they burrow into Sheol, my hand will haul them out; should they climb to heaven, I shall bring them down.

2. Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:

3. Should they hide on the top of Carmel, I shall track them down and catch them; should they hide from me on the sea bed, I shall order the Serpent there to bite them;

3. And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:

4. if their enemies herd them into captivity, I shall order the sword to kill them there, and I shall fix my eyes on them for evil and not for good.'

4. And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

5. Lord Yahweh Sabaoth- he touches the earth and it melts, and all living things on it lament, as all rises together like the Nile in Egypt and then subsides like the Egyptian Nile.

5. And the Lord GOD of hosts [is] he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as [by] the flood of Egypt.

6. He who builds his mansions in the heavens, supporting his vault on the earth; who summons the waters of the sea and pours them over the surface of the land: Yahweh is his name.

6. [It is] he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD [is] his name.

7. Are not you and the Cushites all the same to me, children of Israel? - declares Yahweh. Did I not bring Israel up from Egypt and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Aramaeans from Kir?

7. [Are] ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

8. Look, Lord Yahweh's eyes are on the sinful kingdom, I shall wipe it off the face of the earth, although I shall not destroy the House of Jacob completely -declares Yahweh.

8. Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD [are] upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD.

9. For look, I shall give the command and shall shake out the House of Israel among all nations as a sieve is shaken out without one grain falling on the ground.

9. For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as [corn] is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.

10. All the sinners of my people will perish by the sword, who say, 'Disaster will never approach or overtake us.'

10. All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.

11. On that Day, I shall rebuild the tottering hut of David, make good the gaps in it, restore its ruins and rebuild it as it was in the days of old,

11. In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

12. for them to be master of what is left of Edom and of all the nations once called mine -Yahweh declares, and he will perform it.

12. That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.

13. The days are coming- declares Yahweh- when the ploughman will tread on the heels of the reaper, and the treader of grapes on the heels of the sower of seed, and the mountains will run with new wine and the hills all flow with it.

13. Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

14. I shall restore the fortunes of my people Israel; they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them, they will plant vineyards and drink their wine, they will lay out gardens and eat their produce.

14. And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit [them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

15. And I shall plant them in their own soil and they will never be uprooted again from the country which I have given them, declares Yahweh, your God.

15. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.

9:1-4 - God reveals the vision of Israel's destruction, stating that no one will escape judgment. The severity of the judgment is emphasized, demonstrating that divine justice will be impartial, reaching even the most powerful (see also Jeremiah 49:7-22 and Matthew 25:31-46).

9:5-6 - The Lord, the Creator, is the sovereign who will execute judgment on Israel. He is presented as the one who controls nature and uses even chaos to accomplish His purposes. God's omnipotence is at the center of the vision of judgment (see also Psalm 24:1-2 and Isaiah 40:12-14).

9:7-10 - God reminds Israel of how He already rescued them from Egypt and made them His people, but now He will bring the punishment due to their sins. Israel's reversal of fortune is a reflection of divine justice, which rewards obedience and punishes disobedience (see also Deuteronomy 7:7-10 and Matthew 7:21-23).

9:11-15 - The promise of Israel's restoration after the judgment is given. God promises to restore the house of David, bringing blessings and prosperity. This promise points to the coming of the Messiah and the spiritual restoration of Israel (see also Acts 15:16-17 and Romans 11:25-27).

Wersety związane z Amos, 9:

Amos chapter 9 concludes with judgment and restoration. How does God balance justice and mercy? This climactic text begins with a vision of the temple's inescapable destruction, symbolizing the end of the nation. The chapter then surprises with promises of restoration for the "remnant of Joseph." Amos 9 ends with a hopeful vision of future prosperity under a Davidic king. Consider with us five biblical passages that relate to the themes of judgment and redemption presented in this final chapter.

Jeremiah 30:11: "I am with you and I will save you,' declares the Lord. 'I will completely destroy all the nations among which I have scattered you, but I will not completely destroy you. I will punish him according to justice, but I will not leave him unpunished.'" - This passage from Jeremiah, like Amos 9:8-10, speaks of God's judgment on Israel, but also of God's promise not to destroy it completely.

Obadiah 1:17: "But on Mount Zion there will be deliverance; he will be holy, and the descendants of Jacob will possess his inheritance." - Like Amos 9:11-15, Obadiah also prophesies of Israel's future restoration.

Acts 15:16-18: "After that I will return and rebuild David's fallen tent. I will raise up its ruins, and restore it, that the rest of men may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles upon whom my name has been called,' says the Lord, who does these things which he has known from eternity." - In this passage, James quotes Amos 9:11-12, applying it to the inclusion of Gentiles in the church.

Isaiah 11:11-12: "On that day the Lord will stretch out his arm a second time to claim the remnant of his people... He will raise a banner for the nations and gather together the exiles of Israel; He will gather the scattered people of Judah from the four corners of the earth." - Like Amos 9:14-15, this passage from Isaiah speaks of the restoration and future reunion of Israel.

Joel 3:18: "In that day the mountains will drip with new wine, and the hills will flow with milk; all the rivers of Judah will flow with water. A fountain will come out of the temple of the Lord and water the valley of the Acacias." - This passage from Joel, like Amos 9:13, describes the abundance and fertility that will accompany the restoration of Israel.
