ylt @Amos:9:1 @I have seen the Lord standing by the altar , and He saith : 'Smite the knob , and the thresholds shake , And cut them off by the head -- all of them , And their posterity with a sword I do slay , Not flee to them doth the fleer , Nor escape to them doth a fugitive . ylt @Amos:9:2 @If they dig through into sheol , From thence doth My hand take them , And if they go up the heavens , From thence I cause them to come down . ylt @Amos:9:3 @And if they be hid in the top of Carmel , From thence I search out , and have taken them , And if they be hid from Mine eyes in the bottom of the sea , From thence I command the serpent , And it hath bitten them . ylt @Amos:9:4 @And if they go into captivity before their enemies , From thence I command the sword , And it hath slain them , And I have set Mine eye on them for evil , And not for good . ylt @Amos:9:5 @And [it is ] the Lord , Jehovah of Hosts , Who is striking against the land , and it melteth , And mourned have all the inhabitants in it , And come up as a flood hath all of it , And it hath sunk -- like the flood of Egypt . ylt @Amos:9:6 @Who is building in the heavens His upper chambers ; As to His troop , Upon earth He hath founded it , Who is calling for the waters of the sea , And poureth them out on the face of the land , Jehovah [is ] His name . ylt @Amos:9:7 @As sons of Cushim are ye not to Me ? O sons of Israel -- an affirmation of Jehovah . Israel did I not bring up out of the land of Egypt ? And the Philistines from Caphtor , and Aram from Kir ? ylt @Amos:9:8 @Lo , the eyes of the Lord Jehovah [are ] on the sinful kingdom , And I have destroyed it from off the face of the ground , Only , I destroy not utterly the house of Jacob , An affirmation of Jehovah . ylt @Amos:9:9 @For lo , I am commanding , And I have shaken among all the nations the house of Israel , As [one ] doth shake with a sieve , And there falleth not a grain [to ] the earth . ylt @Amos:9:10 @By sword die do all sinners of My people , Who are saying , 'Not overtake , or go before , For our sakes , doth evil .' ylt @Amos:9:11 @In that day I raise the tabernacle of David , that is fallen , And I have repaired their breaches , And its ruins I do raise up , And I have built it up as in days of old . ylt @Amos:9:12 @So that they possess the remnant of Edom , And all the nations on whom My name is called , An affirmation of Jehovah -- doer of this . ylt @Amos:9:13 @Lo , days are coming -- an affirmation of Jehovah , And come nigh hath the ploughman to the reaper , And the treader of grapes to the scatterer of seed , And the mountains have dropt juice , And all the hills do melt . ylt @Amos:9:14 @And I have turned back [to ] the captivity of My people Israel , And they have built desolate cities , and inhabited , And have planted vineyards , and drunk their wine , And made gardens , and eaten their fruit . ylt @Amos:9:15 @And I have planted them on their own ground , And they are not plucked up any more from off their own ground , That I have given to them , said Jehovah thy God !
