Amos 9:1-5

1I sawH7200 the LordH136 standingH5324 beside the altarH4196: and he saidH559, Smite the capitals, that the thresholdsH5592 may shakeH7493; and break them in pieces on the headH7218 of all of them; and I will slayH2026 the last of them with the swordH2719: there shall not one of them fleeH5127 away, and there shall not one of them escapeH4422. 2Though they digH2864 into SheolH7585, thence shall my handH3027 takeH3947 them; and though they climb up to heavenH8064, thence will I bringH5927 them downH3381. 3And though they hideH5641 themselves in the topH7218 of CarmelH3760, I will searchH2664 and takeH3947 them out thence; and though they be hidH5641 from my sight in the bottom of the seaH3220, thence will I commandH6680 the serpent, and it shall bite them. 4And though they go into captivityH7628 before their enemiesH341, thence will I commandH6680 the swordH2719, and it shall slayH2026 them: and I will setH7760 mine eyesH5869 upon them for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896.

5For the LordH136, Jehovah of hostsH6635, ishe that toucheth the landH776 and it melteth, and all that dwellH3427 therein shall mournH56; and it shall rise up wholly like the RiverH2975, and shall sinkH8257 again, like the RiverH2975 of EgyptH4714;
