Amos 9:7-15

7“Are you not as the sons of 1Ethiopia to Me, O sons of Israel?” declares the Lord. “Have I not brought up Israel from the land of Egypt, And the 2Philistines from Caphtor and the 3Arameans from 4Kir?8Behold, the 5eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful kingdom, And I will 6destroy it from the face of the earth; Nevertheless, I will 7not totally destroy the house of Jacob,” Declares the Lord.9“For behold, I am commanding, And I will 8shake the house of Israel among all nations As grain is shaken in a sieve, But not a 9kernel will fall to the ground.10All the 10sinners of My people will die by the sword, Those who say, ‘11The calamity will not overtake or confront us.’

11“In that day I will 12raise up the fallen 13 14booth of David, And wall up its 15breaches; I will also raise up its ruins And rebuild it as in the 16days of old;12 17That they may possess the remnant of 18Edom And all the 19nations who are 20called by My name,” Declares the Lord who does this.

13“Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “When the 21plowman will overtake the reaper And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; When the 22mountains will drip sweet 23wine And all the hills will be dissolved.14Also I will 24restore the 25captivity of My people Israel, And they will 26rebuild the ruined cities and live in them; They will also 27plant vineyards and drink their wine, And make gardens and eat their fruit.15I will also plant them on their land, And 28they will not again be rooted out from their land Which I have given them,” Says the Lord your God.
