Amos 9:7-10

7 “Are you not like ^athe Cushites to me,
O people of Israel?” declares the Lord.
^b“Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt,
and ^cthe Philistines from ^dCaphtor and the Syrians from ^eKir?
8 Behold, ^fthe eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom,
and I will destroy it from the surface of the ground,
^gexcept that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,”

declares the Lord.
9 “For behold, I will command,
^hand shake the house of Israel among all the nations
as one shakes with a sieve,
but no pebble shall fall to the earth.
10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword,
who say, ⁱ‘Disaster shall not overtake or meet us.’
