Amos 9:1-4
The Destruction of Israel
1I saw the Lord standing beside ▼▼Or on
the altar, and he said: i“Strike the capitals until jthe thresholds kshake,
land shatter them on the heads of all the people; ▼
▼Hebrew all of them
and those who are left of them I will kill with the sword;
nnot one of them shall flee away;
not one of them shall escape.
2 o“If they dig into Sheol,
from there shall my hand take them;
pif they climb up to heaven,
from there I will bring them down.
3If they hide themselves on qthe top of Carmel,
from there I will search them out and take them;
rand if they hide from my sight at the bottom of the sea,
there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them.
4 sAnd if they go into captivity before their enemies,
there I will command the sword, and it shall kill them;
tand I will fix my eyes upon them
for evil and not for good.”
