Amos 9:2-10

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 themH5921 for 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.
7“Are you notH3808H859 like the CushitesH1121H35692 to Me,O childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478?”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.“Did I notH3808 bringH5927 IsraelH3478up from the landH776 of EgyptH4714,the PhilistinesH6430 from CaphtorH3731,3and the ArameansH758 from KirH7024?8SurelyH2009 the eyesH5869 of the LordH136 GODH3069are on the sinfulH2400 kingdomH4467,and I will destroyH8045 itH853 fromH5921 the faceH6440 of the earthH127.YetH3588 I will notH3808 utterly destroyH8045 the houseH1004 of JacobH3290,”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.9“ForH3588 surelyH2009 IH595 will give the commandH6680,and I will shakeH5128 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478among allH3605 the nationsH1471asH834 grain is siftedH5128 in a sieveH3531;but notH3808 a pebbleH6872 will reachH5307 the groundH776.10AllH3605 the sinnersH2400 among My peopleH5971will dieH4191 by the swordH2719—all those who sayH559,‘DisasterH7451 will neverH3808 draw nearH5066 or confrontH6923 usH1157.’”
