Amos:9

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 cut them off 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 get away , and not a fugitive of them will escape . * Even if they dig through into Sheol , from there My hand will take them . And if they ascend up to the heavens , from there I will bring them down . * And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel , I will search and take them out from there . Even 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 though they go into captivity 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 who dwell in it shall mourn . And all of it will rise up like the River , and sink down like the River of Egypt . * He who builds His stairs in the heavens , and His firmament He has established , binding it to the earth ; He who calls for the seawaters and pours them out on the face of the earth ; Jehovah is His name . * Are you not like the sons of Cush 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 ; except that , I will not utterly annihilate 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 sifts 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 come upon us . * In that day I will raise up the covert of David that has fallen , and I will wall up its breaks . And I will raise up its ruins , and I will build it as in the days of old ; * so that they may possess the remnant of Edom , and all the nations who are called by My name , declares Jehovah who does this . * Behold , the days are coming , declares Jehovah , that the plowman shall overtake the reaper , and the treader of grapes him who drags along seed . And the mountains shall drip sweet wine , and all the hills will flow with it . * And I will bring back the captives of My people Israel . And they shall build the waste cities , and live in them . And they shall plant vineyards , and drink the wine of them . They shall also make gardens , and eat the fruit of them . * And I will plant them upon their land , and they shall never again be pulled up out of their land which I have given to them , says Jehovah your God .
