drb @Amos:9:1 @I saw the Lord standing upon the altar , and he said : Strike the hinges , and let the lintels be shook : for there is covetousness in the head of them all , and I will slay the last of them with the sword : there shall be no flight for them : they shall flee , and he that shall flee of them shall not be delivered . drb @Amos:9:2 @Though they go down even to hell , thence shall my hand bring them out : and though they climb up to heaven , thence will I bring them down . drb @Amos:9:3 @And though they be hid in the top of Carmel , I will search and take them away from thence : and though they hide themselves from my eyes in the depth of the sea , there will I command the serpent and he shall bite them . drb @Amos:9:4 @And if they go into captivity before their enemies , there will I command the sword , and it shall kill them . And I will set my eyes upon them for evil , and not for good . drb @Amos:9:5 @And the Lord the God of hosts is he who toucheth the earth , and it shall melt : and all that dwell therein shall mourn : and it shall rise up as a river , and shall run down as the river of Egypt . drb @Amos:9:6 @He that buildeth his ascension in heaven , and hath founded his bundle upon the earth : who calleth the waters of the sea , and poureth them out upon the face of the earth , the Lord is his name . drb @Amos:9:7 @Are not you as the children of the Ethiopians unto me , O children of Israel , saith the Lord ? did not I bring up Israel , out of the land of Egypt : and the Philistines out of Cappadocia , and the Syrians out of Cyrene ? drb @Amos:9:8 @Behold the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom , and I will destroy it from the face of the earth : but yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob , saith the Lord . drb @Amos:9:9 @For behold I will command , and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations , as corn is sifted in a sieve : and there shall not a little stone fall to the ground . drb @Amos:9:10 @All the sinners of my people shall fall by the sword : who say : The evils shall not approach , and shall not come upon us . drb @Amos:9:11 @In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David , that is fallen : and I will close up the breaches of the walls thereof , and repair what was fallen : and I will rebuild it as in the days of old . drb @Amos:9:12 @That they may possess the remnant of Edom , and all nations , because my name is invoked upon them : saith the Lord that doth these things . drb @Amos:9:13 @Behold the days come , saith the Lord , when the ploughman shall overtake the reaper , and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed : and the mountains shall drop sweetness , and every hill shall be tilled . drb @Amos:9:14 @And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel : and they shall build the abandoned cities , and inhabit them : and they shall plant vineyards , and drink the wine of them : and shall make gardens , and eat the fruits of them . And I will plant them upon their own land : and I will no more pluck them out of their land which I have given them , saith the Lord thy God .
