(Amo 9:1) I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.

(Amo 9:5) And the Lord God of hosts {is} he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as {by} the flood of Egypt.
(Amo 9:6) {It is} he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: the Lord {is} his name.
(Amo 9:7) {Are} ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the Lord. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
(Amo 9:8) Behold, the eyes of the Lord God {are} upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.
(Amo 9:9) For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as {corn} is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.
(Amo 9:10) All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
(Amo 9:11) In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
(Amo 9:12) That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the Lord that doeth this.
(Amo 9:13) Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
(Amo 9:14) And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit {them}; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
(Amo 9:15) And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.
