Amos 9 — Scripture text (King James Version)
I saw7200 the Lord136 standing5324 upon the altar4196: and he said559, Smite5221 the lintel of the door3730, that the posts5592 may shake7493: and cut1214 them in the head7218, all of them; and I will slay2026 the last319 of them with the 2719: he that fleeth5127 of them shall not flee away5127, and he that escapeth6412 of them shall not be delivered4422. lintel: or, chapiter, or, knop cut: or, wound them Though they dig2864 into hell7585, thence shall mine hand3027 take3947 them; though they climb up5927 to heaven8064, thence will I bring them down3381: And though they hide2244 themselves in the top7218 of Carmel3760, I will search2664 and take them out3947 thence; and though they be hid5641 from my sight5869 in the bottom7172 of the sea3220, thence will I command6680 the 5175, and he shall bite5391 them: And though they go3212 into captivity7628 before6440 their enemies341, thence will I command6680 the 2719, and it shall slay2026 them: and I will set7760 mine eyes5869 upon them for evil7451, and not for good2896. And the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts6635 is he that toucheth5060 the land776, and it shall melt4127, and all that dwell3427 therein shall mourn56: and it shall rise up5927 wholly like a flood2975; and shall be drowned8257, as by 2975 of 4714. It is he that buildeth1129 his stories4609 in the heaven8064, and hath founded3245 his troop92 in the earth776; he that calleth7121 for the waters4325 of the sea3220, and poureth them out8210 upon the face6440 of the earth776: The LORD3068 is his name8034. stories: or, spheres: Heb. ascensions troop: or, bundle Are ye not as children1121 of the 3569 unto me, O children1121 of 3478? saith5002 the LORD3068. Have not I brought up5927 3478 out of the land776 of 4714? and the 6430 from Caphtor3731, and the Syrians758 from Kir7024? Behold, the eyes5869 of the Lord136 GOD3069 are upon the sinful2403 kingdom4467, and I will destroy8045 it from off the face6440 of the earth127; saving657 that I will not utterly8045 destroy8045 the house1004 of 3290, saith5002 the LORD3068. For, lo, I will command6680, and I will sift5128 the house1004 of 3478 among all nations1471, like as corn is sifted5128 in a sieve3531, yet shall not the least grain6872 fall5307 upon the earth776. sift: Heb. cause to move grain: Heb. stone All the sinners2400 of my people5971 shall die4191 by the 2719, which say559, The evil7451 shall not overtake5066 nor prevent6923 us. In that day3117 will I raise up6965 the 5521 of 1732 that is fallen5307, and close up1443 the breaches6556 thereof; and I will raise up6965 his ruins2034, and I will build1129 it as in the days3117 of old5769: close: Heb. hedge, or, wall That they may possess3423 the 7611 of 123, and of all the heathen1471, which are called7121 by my name8034, saith5002 the LORD3068 that doeth6213 this. which: Heb. upon whom my name is called Behold, the days3117 come935, saith5002 the LORD3068, that the plowman2790 shall overtake5066 the reaper7114, and the treader1869 of grapes6025 him that soweth4900 seed2233; and the mountains2022 shall drop5197 sweet wine6071, and all the hills1389 shall melt4127. soweth: Heb. draweth forth sweet: or, new And I will bring again7725 the captivity7622 of my people5971 of 3478, and they shall build1129 the waste8074 cities5892, and inhabit3427 them; and they shall plant5193 vineyards3754, and drink8354 the wine3196 thereof; they shall also make6213 gardens1593, and eat398 the fruit6529 of them. And I will plant5193 them upon their land127, and they shall no more be pulled up5428 out of their land127 which I have given5414 them, saith559 the LORD3068 thy God430.
