Amos 9:2-15

2ThoughH518 they digH2864 into 1SheolH7585, From thereH8033 will My handH3027 takeH3947 them; And thoughH518 they 2ascendH5927 to heavenH8064, From thereH8033 will I bringH3381 them downH3381.3ThoughH518 they hideH2244 on the summitH7218 of CarmelH3760, I will 3searchH2664 them out and takeH3947 them from thereH8033; And thoughH518 they 4concealH5641 themselves from My sightH5869 on the floorH7172 of the seaH3220, From thereH8033 I will commandH6680 the 5serpentH5175 and it will biteH5391 them.4And thoughH518 they goH1980 into 6captivityH7628 beforeH6440 their enemiesH340, From thereH8033 I will commandH6680 the swordH2719 that it slayH2026 them, And I will 7setH7760 My eyesH5869 againstH5921 them for evilH7463 and not for goodH2899.”

5The LordH136 8GodH3068 of hostsH6635, The One who 9touchesH5060 the landH776 so that it meltsH4127, And 10allH3605 those who dwellH3427 in it mournH56, And allH3605 of it risesH5927 up like the NileH2975 And subsidesH8257 like the NileH2975 of EgyptH4714;6The One who buildsH1129 His 1112upperH4609 chambersH4609 in the heavensH8064 And has foundedH3245 His vaultedH92 domeH92 overH5921 the earthH776, He who 13callsH7121 for the watersH4325 of the seaH3220 And 14poursH8210 them out on the faceH6440 of the earthH776, 15The LordH3068 is His nameH8034.

7“Are you not as the sonsH1121 of 16EthiopiaH3569 to Me, O sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. “Have I not broughtH5927 up IsraelH3478 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, And the 17PhilistinesH6430 from CaphtorH3731 and the 18ArameansH758 from 19KirH7024?8BeholdH2009, the 20eyesH5869 of the LordH136 GodH3068 are on the sinfulH2400 kingdomH4467, And I will 21destroyH8045 it from the faceH6440 of the earthH127; NeverthelessH657H3588, I will 22not totallyH8045 destroyH8045 the houseH1004 of JacobH3290,” DeclaresH5002 the LordH3068.9“For beholdH2009, I am commandingH6680, And I will 23shakeH5128 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 among allH3605 nationsH1471 As grain is shakenH5128 in a sieveH3531, But not a 24kernelH6872 will fallH5307 to the groundH776.10AllH3605 the 25sinnersH2400 of My peopleH5971 will dieH4191 by the swordH2719, Those who sayH559, ‘26The calamityH7463 will not overtakeH5066 or confrontH6923 us.’

11“In that dayH3117 I will 27raiseH6965 up the fallenH5307 2829boothH5521 of DavidH1732, And wallH1443 up its 30breachesH6556; I will also raiseH6965 up its ruinsH2034 And rebuildH1129 it as in the 31daysH3117 of oldH5769;1232That they may possessH3423 the remnantH7611 of 33EdomH112 And allH3605 the 34nationsH1471 whoH834 are 35calledH7121 by My nameH8034,” DeclaresH5002 the LordH3068 who doesH6213 thisH2088.

13“BeholdH2009, daysH3117 are comingH935,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “When the 36plowmanH2790 will overtakeH5066 the reaperH7114 And the treaderH1869 of grapesH6025 him who sowsH4900 seedH2233; When the 37mountainsH2022 will dripH5197 sweetH6071 38wineH6071 And allH3605 the hillsH1389 will be dissolvedH4127.14Also I will 39restoreH7725 the 40captivityH7622 of My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, And they will 41rebuildH1129 the ruinedH8074 citiesH5892 and liveH3427 in them; They will also 42plantH5193 vineyardsH3754 and drinkH8354 their wineH3196, And makeH6213 gardensH1593 and eatH398 their fruitH6529.15I will also plantH5193 them on their landH127, And 43they will not againH5750 be rootedH5428 out from their landH127 WhichH834 I have givenH5414 them,” SaysH559 the LordH3068 your GodH430.
