Amos 9:1-4

1I sawH7200 the LordH136 standingH5324 upon the altarH4196: and he saidH559, SmiteH5221 the lintel of the doorH3730, that the postsH5592 may shakeH7493: and cutH1214 them in the headH7218, all of them; and I will slayH2026 the lastH319 of them with the swordH2719: he that fleethH5127 of them shall not flee awayH5127, and he that escapethH6412 of them shall not be deliveredH4422.12

2Though they digH2864 into hellH7585, thence shall mine handH3027 takeH3947 them; though they climb upH5927 to heavenH8064, thence will I bring them downH3381:

3And though they hideH2244 themselves in the topH7218 of CarmelH3760, I will searchH2664 and take them outH3947 thence; and though they be hidH5641 from my sightH5869 in the bottomH7172 of the seaH3220, thence will I commandH6680 the serpentH5175, and he shall biteH5391 them:

4And though they goH3212 into captivityH7628 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, thence will I commandH6680 the swordH2719, and it shall slayH2026 them: and I will setH7760 mine eyesH5869 upon them for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896.
