Amos 9:1-5

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.

5And the LordH136 YhwhH3069 of ArmiesH6635 is he that touchethH5060 the landH776, and it shall meltH4127, and all that dwellH3427 therein shall mournH56: and it shall rise upH5927 wholly like a floodH2975; and shall be drownedH8257, as by the floodH2975 of EgyptH4714.
