WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Vi al Señor parado al lado del altar del templo de Jerusalén, y dijo: «Destrocen los capiteles de las columnas y sacudan el templo hasta que las columnas se desmoronen y el techo se desplome sobre la gente. Si alguno queda vivo en esa ocasión, entonces haré que muera en la guerra. ¡Ninguno logrará escapar con vida!
1 I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said, “Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake. Break them in pieces on the head of all of them. I will kill the last of them with the sword. Not one of them will flee away. Not one of them will escape.
2 Aunque hagan un hueco y traten de bajar a lo más profundo de la tierra, hasta allí iré a buscarlos y los sacaré para darles su merecido; aunque pudieran subir al cielo intentando escapar, yo los haría descender para darles el castigo que se merecen.
2 Though they dig into Sheol, there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down.
3 »Aunque se escondan entre las rocas en la cima del monte Carmelo, yo los buscaré allá y los capturaré. Aunque se escondan en el fondo del océano, yo enviaré la serpiente marina tras ellos para morderlos y destruirlos.
3 Though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out from there; and though they be hidden from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them.
4 Aunque sus enemigos se los lleven como esclavos a un país muy lejano, hasta allá haré que mueran atravesados por la espada. Yo me aseguraré de que reciban mal y no bien».
4 Though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. I will set my eyes on them for evil, and not for good.
5 Dios, el Señor Todopoderoso, toca la tierra y esta se derrite ante lo intenso de su cólera; la hace subir y bajar como si fuera el río Nilo, como ocurre en un terremoto. Por eso, lloran todos los habitantes de la tierra.
5 For the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn; and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink again, like the River of Egypt.
6 El Señor construyó su palacio en el cielo, y ha puesto sus cimientos en la tierra. Él llama a las aguas del mar y las derraman como lluvia sobre la tierra. Su nombre es el Señor.
6 It is he who builds his rooms in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth—Yahweh is his name.
7 El Señor ha dicho: «Israelitas, ¿acaso no son ustedes para mí iguales que los cursitas? ¿Acaso yo, que los saqué a ustedes de Egipto, no he hecho lo mismo con otros pueblos también? Yo saqué de Creta a los filisteos y de Quir a los sirios. Lo ha dicho el Señor.
7 Are you not like the children of the Ethiopians to me, children of Israel?” says Yahweh. “Haven’t I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
8 »Mis ojos están observando a Israel, esa nación tan inclinada a la maldad; por lo que veo, exterminaré a sus habitantes, los descendientes de Jacob; aunque dejaré a algunos de ellos con vida. Lo ha dicho el Señor.
8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord Yahweh are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the earth, except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” says Yahweh.
9 »Pues yo he mandado que Israel sea zarandeado por las otras naciones, como se zarandea el trigo en una criba, sin que un solo grano caiga a tierra.
9 “For behold, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet not the least kernel will fall on the earth.
10 En cambio, sí morirán en batalla todos estos malvados que dicen: “Dios no nos tocará; ninguna desgracia tendremos que sufrir nosotros”.
10 All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, ‘Evil won’t overtake nor meet us.’
11◆ »Luego, en ese tiempo yo repararé la casa de David, repararé sus grietas, levantaré sus murallas, y haré que vuelva a ser tan importante como antes.
11 In that day I will raise up the tent of David who is fallen and close up its breaches, and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old,
12◆ Israel, que es mi pueblo, se adueñará de lo que queda de Edom y de todas las naciones vecinas. Lo ha dicho el Señor, quien hará que esto ocurra.
12 that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations who are called by my name,” says Yahweh who does this.
13 »El tiempo vendrá cuando habrá tal abundancia de cosechas, que la temporada de la siega casi no habrá terminado cuando el agricultor comenzará de nuevo a sembrar para otra cosecha; y los montes sembrados de uvas producirán tanto, que sobrará el vino. ¡Sí, de las colinas bajará el vino como si fuera un río! Lo ha dicho el Señor.
13 “Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills.
14 »Ese día, yo haré que mi pueblo Israel regrese a su país. Entonces reconstruirán sus ciudades arruinadas, y vivirán en ellas de nuevo; plantarán viñas y disfrutarán de su vino, cultivarán la tierra y comerán sus cosechas.
14 I will bring my people Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, and eat their fruit.
15 Yo los plantaré firmemente allí sobre la tierra que les he dado; y nunca más serán arrancados de su tierra». Lo ha dicho el Señor, tu Dios.
15 I will plant them on their land, and they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them,” says Yahweh your God.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- Amos 9:12 and Acts 15:17: “the remnant of Edom” or “the rest of mankind”?
In the Hebrew text of Amos 9:12, restored Israel will “possess the remnant of Edom.” In the Septuagint, “the remnant of men” will “seek” the Lord. At the Council of Jerusalem St James quotes the Greek form to show that God intended Gentiles to belong to his people (Acts 15:16–17). The two readings differ by letters that look and sound alike in Hebrew.
What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… David, which is fallen down; and I will build the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: that the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, among whom my name has been invoked, saith the Lord, doing these things. Known from eternity is His work to God.
… thereof: and I will raise up his ruins, and will build them up again as in the days of old: that the residue of men may inquire for me, and all the nations upon whom my name is invoked, saith the Lord that doeth this." Chapter 29 — What Things are Predicted by Isaiah Concerning Christ and the Church The …

There is a certain proud serpent in the sea, of which another passage of Scripture speaks, "I will command the serpent, and he shall bite him;" and again, "There is that Leviathan, whom Thou hast made to mock him," whose head He bruises above the water.
