Amos 9:2-6

2Though they dig into 1Sheol, From there My hand will take them; And though they 2ascend to heaven, From there I will bring them down.3And though they hide on the summit of Carmel, I will 3track them down and take them from there; And though they 4hide themselves from My sight on the bottom of the sea, I will command the 5serpent from there, and it will bite them.4And though they go into 6captivity before their enemies, From there I will command the sword and it will kill them, And I will 7set My eyes against them for harm and not for good.”

5The Lord 8God of armies, The One who 9touches the land so that it quakes, And 10all those who live in it mourn, And all of it rises up like the Nile And subsides like the Nile of Egypt;6The One who builds His 11upper chambers in the heavens And has founded His vaulted dome over the earth, He who 12calls for the waters of the sea And 13pours them out on the face of the earth, 14The Lord is His name.
