Amos 9:8-15

8Look, the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful kingdom, and I will obliterate it from the face of the earth. However, I will not totally destroy the house of Jacob  — this is the Lord’s declaration —

9for I am about to give the command, and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations, as one shakes a sieve, but not a pebble will fall to the ground.

10All the sinners among my people who say, “Disaster will never overtake or confront us,” will die by the sword.

11In that day I will restore the fallen shelter of David: I will repair its gaps, restore its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old,

12so that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations that bear my name — this is the declaration of the Lord; he will do this.

13Look, the days are coming — this is the Lord’s declaration — when the plowman will overtake the reaper and the one who treads grapes, the sower of seed. The mountains will drip with sweet wine, and all the hills will flow with it.

14I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel. They will rebuild and occupy ruined cities, plant vineyards and drink their wine, make gardens and eat their produce.

15I will plant them on their land, and they will never again be uprooted from the land I have given them. The Lord your God has spoken.
