Amos 9:1-4

1 I saw the Lord standing beside the ^aaltar, and He said, “Smite the capitals so that the ^bthresholds will shake,
And ^cbreak them on the heads of them all!
Then I will ^dslay the rest of them with the sword;
They will ^enot have a fugitive who will flee,
Or a refugee who will escape.
2 “Though they dig into ^fSheol,
From there will My hand take them;
And though they ^gascend to heaven,
From there will I bring them down.
3 “Though they hide on the summit of Carmel,
I will ^hsearch them out and take them from there;
And though they ⁱconceal themselves from My sight on the floor of the sea,
From there I will command the ^jserpent and it will bite them.
4 “And though they go into ^kcaptivity before their enemies,
From there I will command the sword that it slay them,
And I will ^lset My eyes against them for evil and not for good.”
