Amos 9:2-10

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; 6it is he that buildeth his chambers in the heavensH8064, and hath foundedH3245 his vault upon the earthH776; he that calleth for the watersH4325 of the seaH3220, and poureth them out upon the faceH6440 of the earthH776; Jehovah is his nameH8034.

7Are ye not as the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of IsraelH3478? saith Jehovah. Have not I broughtH5927 up IsraelH3478 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and the PhilistinesH6430 from CaphtorH3731, and the Syrians from KirH7024? 8Behold, the eyesH5869 of the Lord Jehovah are upon the sinfulH2400 kingdomH4467, and I will destroyH8045 it from off the faceH6440 of the earthH127; save that I will not utterly destroyH8045 the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, saith Jehovah. 9For, lo, I will commandH6680, and I will sift the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 among all the nationsH1471, like as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least kernel fallH5307 upon the earthH776. 10All the sinnersH2400 of my peopleH5971 shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, who sayH559, The evilH7451 shall not overtake nor meetH6923 us.
