Amos 9:1-5

1I sawH7200 the LordH136 standingH5324 besideH5921 the 1altarH4196, and He saidH559, “StrikeH5221 the pillarH3730 capitalsH3730 so that the 2thresholdsH5592 will shakeH7493, And 3breakH1214 them on the headsH7218 of them allH3605! Then I will 4putH2026 toH2026 deathH2026 the restH319 of them with the swordH2719; They will 5not have a fugitiveH5127 who will fleeH5127, NorH3808 a survivorH6412 who will escapeH4422.2ThoughH518 they digH2864 into 6SheolH7585, From thereH8033 My handH3027 will takeH3947 them; And thoughH518 they 7ascendH5927 to heavenH8064, From thereH8033 I will bringH3381 them downH3381.3And thoughH518 they hideH2244 on the summitH7218 of CarmelH3760, I will 8trackH2664 them downH2664 and takeH3947 them from thereH8033; And thoughH518 they 9hideH5641 themselves from My sightH5869 on the bottomH7172 of the seaH3220, I will commandH6680 the 10serpentH5175 from thereH8033, and it will biteH5391 them.4And thoughH518 they goH1980 into 11captivityH7628 beforeH6440 their enemiesH340, From thereH8033 I will commandH6680 the swordH2719 and it will killH2026 them, And I will 12setH7760 My eyesH5869 againstH5921 them for harmH7463 and not for goodH2899.”

5The LordH136 13GodH3068 of armiesH6635, The One who 14touchesH5060 the landH776 so that it quakesH4127, And 15allH3605 those who liveH3427 in it mournH56, And allH3605 of it risesH5927 upH5927 like the NileH2975 And subsidesH8257 like the NileH2975 of EgyptH4714;
