Revised Literal Translation

Amos 9:8-10

8Behold, the eyes of the Lord Yhwh are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith Yhwh.

9For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as wheat is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.1 2

10All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
