1 Vi a ʼAdonay en pie sobre el altar, y dijo: Golpea los capiteles para que se estremezcan las columnas. Destrózalos sobre las cabezas de todos. Mataré a espada hasta el último de ellos. No habrá quien huya o escape.
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 caven hasta el Seol, allí los alcanzará mi mano. Aunque suban hasta el cielo, de allí los bajaré.
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 en la cima de la montaña Carmelo, allí los buscaré y de allí los tomaré. Aunque se oculten de mi vista en el fondo del mar, allí les mandaré una serpiente que los muerda.
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 vayan cautivos delante de sus enemigos, allí mandaré la espada que los mate. Tendré fijos mis ojos sobre ellos para el mal y no para el 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 Porque ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes es el que toca la tierra, y se derrite. Lloran todos los que la habitan. Toda ella se levanta como un río, y luego vuelve a mermar como el Nilo de Egipto.
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 Él edifica sus cámaras superiores en los cielos y estableció expansión sobre la tierra. Él llama las aguas del mar y las derrama sobre la superficie de la tierra. ¡Yavé es su Nombre!
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 Oh hijos de Israel, dice Yavé: ¿No me son ustedes más que los etíopes? ¿No saqué Yo a Israel de la tierra de Egipto, a los filisteos de Caftor, y a los arameos de Kir?
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 Ciertamente los ojos de ʼAdonay Yavé están sobre el reino pecador. Y lo destruiré de sobre la superficie de la tierra, pero no destruiré por completo la casa de Jacob, dice Yavé.
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 Porque ciertamente Yo daré orden, y la Casa de Israel será zarandeada entre todas las naciones, como se zarandea el trigo en el cedazo sin que caiga un grano 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 Morirán por la espada todos los pecadores de mi pueblo que dicen: ¡El mal no se acercará ni caerá sobre nosotros!
10 All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, ‘Evil won’t overtake nor meet us.’
11◆ En aquel día levantaré el Tabernáculo caído de David. Cerraré sus brechas, reconstruiré sus ruinas y lo edificaré como en los días de antaño,
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◆ para que ellos posean el remanente de Edom y todas las naciones sobre las cuales es invocado mi Nombre, dice Yavé, Quien hace esto.
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 Ciertamente vienen días, dice Yavé, en los cuales el que ara alcanzará al que cosecha, y el que pisa las uvas al que lleva la semilla. Las montañas destilarán mosto, y todas las colinas se derretirán.
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 Haré volver del cautiverio a mi pueblo Israel. Reedificarán las ciudades asoladas y las ocuparán. Plantarán viñas y beberán su vino, harán huertos y comerán su fruto.
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 Los plantaré en su tierra. Nunca más serán sacados de la tierra que les di, dice Yavé, tu ʼElohim.
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.
