Amos 9
9:1

I saw7200 Yahweh3068 standing5324 upon the altar:4196 and he said,559 Smite5221 the lintel3730 of the door, that the posts5592 may shake:7493 and cut1214 them in the head,7218 all of them; and I will slay2026 the last of them319 with the sword:2719 he that fleeth5127 of them shall not flee away,5127 and he that escapeth6412 of them shall not be delivered.4422

9:2

Though they dig2864 into the grave,7585 thence shall mine hand3027 take3947 them; though they climb up5927 to heaven,8064 thence will I bring them down:3381

9:3

And though they hide2244 themselves in the top7218 of Carmel,3760 I will search2664 and take3947 them out thence; and though they be hid5641 from my sight5869 in the bottom7172 of the sea,3220 thence will I command6680 the serpent,5175 and he shall bite5391 them:

9:4

And though they go3212 into captivity7628 before6440 their enemies,341 thence will I command6680 the sword,2719 and it shall slay2026 them: and I will set7760 mine eyes5869 upon them for evil,7451 and not for good.2896

9:5

And my Sovereign136 Yahweh3069 of hosts6635 is he that toucheth5060 the land,776 and it shall melt,4127 and all that dwell3427 therein shall mourn:56 and it shall rise up5927 wholly like a flood;2975 and shall be drowned,8257 as by the flood2975 of Egypt.4714

9:6

It is he that buildeth1129 his stories4609 in the heaven,8064 and hath founded3245 his troop92 in the earth;776 he that calleth7121 for the waters4325 of the sea,3220 and poureth them out8210 upon the face6440 of the earth:776 Yahweh3068 is his name.8034

9:7

Are ye not as children1121 of the Ethiopians3569 unto me, O children1121 of Israel?3478 saith5002 Yahweh.3068 Have not I brought up5927 Israel3478 out of the land776 of Egypt?4714 and the Philistines6430 from Caphtor,3731 and the Syrians758 from Kir?7024

9:8

Behold, the eyes5869 of my Sovereign136 Yahweh3069 are upon the sinful2403 kingdom,4467 and I will destroy8045 it from off the face6440 of the earth;127 saving657 that I will not utterly8045 destroy8045 the house1004 of Jacob,3290 saith5002 Yahweh.3068

9:9

For, lo, I will command,6680 and I will sift5128 the house1004 of Israel3478 among all nations,1471 like as corn is sifted5128 in a sieve,3531 yet shall not the least grain6872 fall5307 upon the earth.776

9:10

All the sinners2400 of my people5971 shall die4191 by the sword,2719 which say,559 The evil7451 shall not overtake5066 nor prevent6923 us.

9:11

In that day3117 will I raise up6965 the tabernacle5521 of David1732 that is fallen,5307 and close up1443 the breaches6556 thereof; and I will raise up6965 his ruins,2034 and I will build1129 it as in the days3117 of old:5769

9:12

That they may possess3423 the remnant7611 of Edom,123 and of all the heathen,1471 which are called7121 by my name,8034 saith5002 Yahweh3068 that doeth6213 this.

9:13

Behold, the days3117 come,935 saith5002 Yahweh,3068 that the plowman2790 shall overtake5066 the reaper,7114 and the treader1869 of grapes6025 him that soweth4900 seed;2233 and the mountains2022 shall drop5197 sweet wine,6071 and all the hills1389 shall melt.4127

9:14

And I will bring again7725 the captivity7622 of my people5971 of Israel,3478 and they shall build1129 the waste8074 cities,5892 and inhabit3427 them; and they shall plant5193 vineyards,3754 and drink8354 the wine3196 thereof; they shall also make6213 gardens,1593 and eat398 the fruit6529 of them.

9:15

And I will plant5193 them upon their land,127 and they shall no more be pulled up5428 out of their land127 which I have given5414 them, saith559 Yahweh3068 thy Elohim.430
