Context of Amos 9:11
9“For look, I am giving a command and I will shake the family of Israel together with all the nations. It will resemble a sieve being shaken, when not even a pebble falls to the ground. 10All the sinners among my people will die by the sword – the ones who say, ‘Disaster will not come near, it will not confront us.’ “In that day I will rebuild the collapsing hut of David. I will seal its gaps, repair its ruins, and restore it to what it was like in days gone by. 12As a result they will conquer those left in Edom and all the nations subject to my rule.” The Lord, who is about to do this, is speaking! 13“Be sure of this, the time is coming,” says the Lord, “when the plowman will catch up to the reaper and the one who stomps the grapes will overtake the planter. Juice will run down the slopes, it will flow down all the hillsides.

Commentaries on Amos 9:11
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11Will I raise up the tabernacle of David - It is well known that the kingdom of Israel, the most profane and idolatrous, fell first, and that the kingdom of Judah continued long after, and enjoyed considerable prosperity under Hezekiah and Josiah. The remnant of the Israelites that were left by the Assyrians became united to the kingdom of Judah; and of the others, many afterwards joined them: but this comparatively short prosperity and respite, previously…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11In that day I will raise up - Amos, as the prophets were taught to do, sums up his prophecy of woe with this one full promise of overflowing good. For the ten tribes, in their separate condition, there was no hope, no future. He had pronounced the entire destruction of “the kingdom” of Israel. The ten tribes were, thenceforth, only an aggregate of individuals, good or bad. They had no separate corporate existence. In their spiritual existence, they still…Read the comment

The Lord saith this, who doeth this, who can do it, who has determined to do it, the power of whose grace is engaged for doing it.
