Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.
Busquen a Dios y vivirán. Pero si no lo hacen, su ira se extenderá como fuego arrasador por Israel, quemándolo todo sin que nadie pueda detenerlo.
Buscar a Dios trae vida, pero rechazarlo trae destrucción inevitable.
📚 Contexto Histórico
Amos was a prophet from Judah who lived around 760-750 BC and was called by God to confront the Northern Kingdom of Israel during a period of economic prosperity but widespread social injustice and idolatry. He warned the people that their unfaithfulness would lead to divine judgment, using vivid imagery like fire to describe God's wrath if they did not repent. In this verse, "the house of Joseph" refers to the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, representing the Northern Kingdom, while "Bethel" was a major religious site that had become a center for false worship.
