Amos:9:1-10

Seeker Overlay ON

* I saw the Lord standing by the altar . And He said , Strike the capital of the door , and the thresholds will shake ; and break them on the head of all of them . And I will kill the last of them with the sword . Not one of them who flees will flee , and not a fugitive of them will escape . * And if they dig through into Sheol , from there My hand will take them . And if they go up to the heavens , from there I will bring them down . * And if they hide themselves in the top of Carmel , I will search and take them out from there . And if they hide from My eyes in the bottom of the sea , from there I will command the serpent , and he will bite them . * And if they go into exile before their enemies , from there I will command the sword , and it will kill them . And I will set My eyes on them for evil , and not for good . * And the Lord Jehovah of hosts is He who touches the earth so that it melts , and all dwelling in it shall mourn . And all of it will rise up like the Nile , and sink down like the Nile of Egypt . * It is He who builds His staircase in the heavens , and He has founded His binding heavens on the earth ; He who calls for the seawater and pours them out on the face of the earth , Jehovah is His name . * Are you not like the sons of the Ethiopians to Me , O sons of Israel ? declares Jehovah . Have I not brought Israel up out of the land of Egypt , and the Philistines from Caphtor , and the Syrians from Kir ? * Behold , the eyes of the Lord Jehovah are on the sinful kingdom , and I will destroy it from the face of the earth ; only that I will not completely destroy the house of Jacob , declares Jehovah . * For , behold , I will command , and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations , as one shakes with a sieve ; yet not a grain shall fall to the ground . * All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword , those who say , The evil shall not draw near or confront us .
