Amos|9:1|-|I |a|saw the Lord |1|standing upon the altar. And He said,Strike the capitals of the pillars
That the thresholds may shake.And break them off upon the heads of them all,
And the last of them I will slay with the sword:Any one of them who flees will not flee away,
And any one of them who escapes will not slip by.
Amos|9:2|-||a|Though they dig into |1|Sheol,From there My hand will take them;
And though they go up into |b|heaven,From there I will bring them down.
Amos|9:3|-|And though they hide at the top of Carmel,From there I will seek them and take them.
And though they hide themselves from My sight on the floor of the sea,There I will command the serpent, and it will bite them.
Amos|9:4|-|And though they go into captivity before their enemies,There I will command the sword, and it will slay them;
And I will set My eyes upon themFor evil and not for good.
Amos|9:5|-|For the Lord Jehovah of hostsIs the One who touches the land and it melts,
And all those who dwell in it mourn;And all of it |a|rises like the |1|River,
And it sinks like the river of Egypt.
Amos|9:6|-|He is the One who builds His |a|upper stories in the heavensAnd has founded His vault over the earth;
He is the One who calls for the |b|water of the seaAnd pours it upon the surface of the earth;
Jehovah is His name.
Amos|9:7|-|Are you not like the children of the |1|CushitesTo Me, O children of Israel?
Declares Jehovah.Have I not brought up Israel
Out from the land of Egypt,And the Philistines out from |2|Caphtor,
And |3|Aram out from Kir?
Amos|9:8|-|Yes, the eyes of the Lord JehovahAre on the sinful kingdom,
And I will destroy itFrom off the face of the earth,
Except that I will |a|not |1|utterly destroy the house of Jacob,Declares Jehovah.
Amos|9:9|-|For I will commandAnd |a|shake the house of Israel among all the nations,
As grain is shaken in the sieve;Yet a kernel will not fall to the ground.
Amos|9:10|-|All the sinners of My peopleWill die by the sword,
Those who say, Evil will not overtake usNor come before us on all sides.
Amos|9:11|-||a|In that day I will raise upThe fallen |1b|tabernacle of David,
And I will wall up its breachesAnd raise up its ruins
And build it up as it was in the days of old;
Amos|9:12|-|That they may possess the |a|remnant of Edom and all the nations which are called by My name, declares Jehovah who does this.
Amos|9:13|-|Indeed days are coming,Declares Jehovah,
When the plowman will overtake the reaper,And the grape treader, him who sows the seed;
And the mountains will drip sweet |a|wine,And all the hills will melt.
Amos|9:14|-|And I will |a|turn the captivity of My people Israel,And they will build the |b|desolated cities and inhabit them;
And they will plant vineyards and drink the wine from them,And make gardens and eat the fruit from them.
Amos|9:15|-|And I will |a|plant them upon their land, and they will |b|not be plucked up again from their land, which I have given to them, says Jehovah your God.
