Amos 9:1-6

1I sawH7200 the LordH136 standingH5324 besideH5921 the altarH4196, and He saidH559:

“StrikeH5221 the tops of the pillarsH3730so that the thresholdsH5592 shakeH7493.Topple themH1214 on the headsH7218 of all the peopleH3605,and I will killH2026 the restH319 with the swordH2719.NoneH3808 of those who fleeH5127 will get awayH5127;noneH3808 of the fugitivesH6412 will escapeH4422.2ThoughH518 they dig downH2864 to SheolH7585,from thereH8033 My handH3027 will take themH3947;and thoughH518 they climb upH5927 to heavenH8064,from thereH8033 I will pull them downH3381.3ThoughH518 they hide themselvesH2244 atopH7218 CarmelH3760,thereH8033 I will track themH2664 and seize themH3947;and thoughH518 they hideH5641 fromH5048 MeH5869 at the bottom ofH7172 the seaH3220,thereH8033 I will commandH6680 the serpentH51751 to bite themH5391.4ThoughH518 they are drivenH1980 byH6440 their enemiesH341 into captivityH7628,thereH8033 I will commandH6680 the swordH2719 to slay themH2026.I will fixH7760 My eyesH5869 upon themH5921for harmH7451 and notH3808 for goodH2896.”
5The LordH136 GODH3069 of HostsH6635,He who touchesH5060 the earthH776 and it meltsH4127,and allH3605 its dwellersH3427 mournH56—allH3605 the land risesH5927 like the NileH2975,then sinksH8257 like the riverH2975 of EgyptH4714—6He buildsH1129 His upper roomsH4609 in the heavensH8064and foundsH3245 His vaultH92 uponH5921 the earthH776.He summonsH7121 the watersH4325 of the seaH3220and pours themH8210 overH5921 the faceH6440 of the earthH776.The LORDH3068 is His nameH8034.
