Amos 9:1-6

The Destruction of Israel

1I saw the Lord standing beside
Or on
the altar, and he said:

bStrike the capitals until cthe thresholds dshake,
eand 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;
gnot one of them shall flee away;
not one of them shall escape.
2 hIf they dig into Sheol,
from there shall my hand take them;
iif they climb up to heaven,
from there I will bring them down.
3If they hide themselves on jthe top of Carmel,
from there I will search them out and take them;
kand if they hide from my sight at the bottom of the sea,
there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them.
4 lAnd if they go into captivity before their enemies,
there I will command the sword, and it shall kill them;
mand I will fix my eyes upon them
for evil and not for good.”
5 The Lord God of hosts,
he who touches the earth and nit melts,
and all who dwell in it mourn,
oand all of it rises like the Nile,
pand sinks again, like the Nile of Egypt;
6 qwho builds his upper chambers in the heavens
and founds his vault upon the earth;
rwho calls for the waters of the sea
and pours them out upon the surface of the earth
sthe Lord is his name.
