Amos 9
Revised Webster's Bible
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, from there shall my handH3027 takeH3947 them; though they climb upH5927 to heavenH8064, from there will I bring them downH3381: 3And though they hideH2244 themselves in the topH7218 of CarmelH3760, I will searchH2664 and take them outH3947 from there; and though they are hidH5641 from my sightH5869 in the bottomH7172 of the seaH3220, from there will I commandH6680 the serpentH5175, and he shall biteH5391 them: 4And though they goH3212 into captivityH7628 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, there will I commandH6680 the swordH2719, and it shall slayH2026 them: and I will setH7760 my eyesH5869 upon them for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896. 5And the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 is he that touchethH5060 the landH776, and it shall meltH4127, and all that dwellH3427 in it shall mournH56: and it shall rise upH5927 wholly like a riverH2975; and shall be drownedH8257, as by the riverH2975 of EgyptH4714. 6It is he that buildethH1129 his chambersH4609 in the heavenH8064, and hath foundedH3245 his troopH92 in the earthH776; he that callethH7121 for the watersH4325 of the seaH3220, and poureth them outH8210 upon the faceH6440 of the earthH776: The LORDH3068 is his nameH8034.34 7Are ye not as childrenH1121 of the CushitesH3569 to me, O childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478? saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Have not I brought upH5927 IsraelH3478 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714? and the PhilistinesH6430 from CaphtorH3731, and the SyriansH758 from KirH7024? 8Behold, the eyesH5869 of the LordH136 GODH3069 are upon the sinfulH2403 kingdomH4467, and I will destroyH8045 it from off the faceH6440 of the earthH127; exceptH657 that I will not utterlyH8045 destroyH8045 the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. 9For, lo, I will commandH6680, and I will siftH5128 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 among all nationsH1471, like as grain is siftedH5128 in a sieveH3531, yet shall not the smallest grainH6872 fallH5307 upon the earthH776.56 10All the sinnersH2400 of my peopleH5971 shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, who sayH559, The evilH7451 shall not overtakeH5066 nor fall uponH6923 us.
11In that dayH3117 will I raise upH6965 the tabernacleH5521 of DavidH1732 that is fallenH5307, and close upH1443 its breachesH6556; and I will raise upH6965 its ruinsH2034, and I will buildH1129 it as in the daysH3117 of oldH5769:7 12That they may possessH3423 the remnantH7611 of EdomH123, and of all the heathenH1471, who are calledH7121 by my nameH8034, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 that doethH6213 this.8 13Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that the plowmanH2790 shall overtakeH5066 the reaperH7114, and the treaderH1869 of grapesH6025 him that sowethH4900 seedH2233; and the mountainsH2022 shall dropH5197 sweet wineH6071, and all the hillsH1389 shall meltH4127.910 14And I will bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478, and they shall buildH1129 the wasteH8074 citiesH5892, and inhabitH3427 them ; and they shall plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and drinkH8354 the wineH3196 of them; they shall also makeH6213 gardensH1593, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them. 15And I will plantH5193 them upon their landH127, and they shall no more be pulled upH5428 out of their landH127 which I have givenH5414 them, saithH559 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
