Amos 9:2-10
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.
6It is he that buildethH1129 his chambersH4609 in the heavenH8064, and hath foundedH3245 his vaultH92 in the earthH776; he that callethH7121 for the watersH4325 of the seaH3220, and poureth them outH8210 upon the faceH6440 of the earthH776: YhwhH3068 is his nameH8034.12
7Are ye not as childrenH1121 of the EthiopiansH3569 unto me, O childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478? saithH5002 YhwhH3068. Have not I brought upH5927 IsraelH3478 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714? and the PhilistinesH6430 from CaphtorH3731, and the SyriansH758 from KirH7024?
8Behold, the eyesH5869 of the LordH136 YhwhH3069 are upon the sinfulH2403 kingdomH4467, and I will destroyH8045 it from off the faceH6440 of the earthH127; savingH657 that I will not utterlyH8045 destroyH8045 the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, saithH5002 YhwhH3068.
9For, lo, I will commandH6680, and I will siftH5128 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 among all nationsH1471, like as wheat is siftedH5128 in a sieveH3531, yet shall not the least grainH6872 fallH5307 upon the earthH776.34
10All the sinnersH2400 of my peopleH5971 shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, which sayH559, The evilH7451 shall not overtakeH5066 nor preventH6923 us.
