Amos:9:1-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I saw the Lord standing upon the altar :
and he said ,
Smite the lintel of the door ,
that the posts may shake :
and cut them in the head ro #
sh #,
all of them ;
and I will slay the last of them with the sword :
he that fleeth of them shall not flee away ,
and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered .
*
Though they dig into hell sh @#
owl #,
thence shall mine hand take them ;
though they climb up to heaven ,
thence will I bring them down :
*
And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel ,
I will search and take them out thence ;
and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea ,
thence will I command the serpent ,
and he shall bite them :
*
And though they go into captivity before their enemies ,
thence will I command the sword ,
and it shall slay them :
and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil ,
and not for good .
*
And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that toucheth the land ,
and it shall melt ,
and all that dwell therein shall mourn :
and it shall rise up wholly like a flood y @#
or #;
and shall be drowned ,
as by the flood of Egypt .
*
It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven ,
and hath founded his troop in the earth ;
he that calleth for the waters of the sea ,
and poureth them out upon the face of the earth :
The LORD is his name .
*
Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me ,
O children of Israel Yisra #
el #?
saith the LORD .
Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt ?
and the Philistines from Caphtor ,
and the Syrians from Kir ?
*
Behold ,
the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom ,
and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth ;
saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob Ya #
aqob #,
saith the LORD .
*
For ,
lo ,
I will command ,
and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations ,
like as corn is sifted in a sieve ,
yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth .
*
All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword ,
which say ,
The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us .
