Amos 9:7-15

7“Are you not as the sons of 1Ethiopia to Me, You 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 6eliminate it from the face of the earth; Nevertheless, I will 7not totally eliminate 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 pebble will fall to the ground.10All the 9sinners of My people will die by the sword, Those who say, ‘10The catastrophe will not overtake or confront us.’

11“On that day I will 11raise up the fallen 12 13shelter of David, And wall up its 14gaps; I will also raise up its ruins And rebuild it as in the 15days of old;12 16So that they may 17possess 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 one who treads grapes will overtake him who sows the seed; When the 22mountains will drip grape juice, And all the hills will come apart.14I will also 23restore the fortunes of My people Israel, And they will 24rebuild the desolated cities and live in them; They will also 25plant vineyards and drink their wine, And make gardens and eat their fruit.15I will also plant them on their land, And 26they will not be uprooted again from their land Which I have given them,” Says the Lord your God.
