Amos 9:2-10
2ThoughH518 they digH2864 into 1SheolH7585, From thereH8033 My handH3027 will takeH3947 them; And thoughH518 they 2ascendH5927 to heavenH8064, From thereH8033 I will bringH3381 them downH3381.3And thoughH518 they hideH2244 on the summitH7218 of CarmelH3760, I will 3trackH2664 them downH2664 and takeH3947 them from thereH8033; And thoughH518 they 4hideH5641 themselves from My sightH5869 on the bottomH7172 of the seaH3220, I will commandH6680 the 5serpentH5175 from thereH8033, and it will biteH5391 them.4And thoughH518 they goH1980 into 6captivityH7628 beforeH6440 their enemiesH340, From thereH8033 I will commandH6680 the swordH2719 and it will killH2026 them, And I will 7setH7760 My eyesH5869 againstH5921 them for harmH7463 and not for goodH2899.”
5The LordH136 8GodH3068 of armiesH6635, The One who 9touchesH5060 the landH776 so that it quakesH4127, And 10allH3605 those who liveH3427 in it mournH56, And allH3605 of it risesH5927 upH5927 like the NileH2975 And subsidesH8257 like the NileH2975 of EgyptH4714;6The One who buildsH1129 His 11upperH5944 chambersH5944 in the heavensH8064 And has foundedH3245 His vaultedH92 domeH92 overH5921 the earthH776, He who 12callsH7121 for the watersH4325 of the seaH3220 And 13poursH8210 them outH8210 on the faceH6440 of the earthH776, 14The LordH3068 is His nameH8034.
7“Are you not as the sonsH1121 of 15EthiopiaH3569 to Me, You sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. “Have I not broughtH5927 upH5927 IsraelH3478 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, And the 16PhilistinesH6430 from CaphtorH3731 and the 17ArameansH758 from 18KirH7024?8BeholdH2009, the 19eyesH5869 of the LordH136 GodH3068 are on the sinfulH2400 kingdomH4467, And I will 20eliminateH8045 it from the faceH6440 of the earthH127; NeverthelessH657H3588, I will 21not totallyH8045 eliminateH8045 the houseH1004 of JacobH3290,” DeclaresH5002 the LordH3068.9“For beholdH2009, I am commandingH6680, And I will 22shakeH5128 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 among allH3605 nationsH1471 As grain is shakenH5128 in a sieveH3531, But not a pebbleH6872 will fallH5307 to the groundH776.10AllH3605 the 23sinnersH2400 of My peopleH5971 will dieH4191 by the swordH2719, Those who sayH559, ‘24The catastropheH7463 will not overtakeH5066 or confrontH6923 us.’
