Amos
Chapter 9
|
1 I saw7200 the LORD136 standing5324 on the altar:4196 and he said,559 Smite5221 the lintel3730 of the door, that the posts5592 may shake:7493 and cut1214 them in the head,7218 all3605 of them; and I will slay2026 the last319 of them with the sword:2719 he that flees5127 of them shall not flee5127 away, and he that escapes6412 of them shall not be delivered.4422
|
2 Though3588 518 they dig2864 into hell,7585 there8033 shall my hand3027 take3947 them; though3588 518 they climb5927 up to heaven,8064 there8033 will I bring3381 them down:3381
|
3 And though3588 518 they hide2244 themselves in the top7218 of Carmel,3760 I will search2664 and take3947 them out there;8033 and though3588 518 they be hid5641 from my sight5869 in the bottom7172 of the sea,3220 there8033 will I command6680 the serpent,5175 and he shall bite5391 them:
|
4 And though3588 518 they go3212 into captivity7628 before6440 their enemies,341 there8033 will I command6680 the sword,2719 and it shall slay2026 them: and I will set7760 my eyes5869 on them for evil,7451 and not for good.2896
|
5 And the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts6635 is he that touches5060 the land,776 and it shall melt,4127 and all3605 that dwell3427 therein shall mourn:56 and it shall rise5927 up wholly3605 like a flood;2975 and shall be drowned,8248 as by the flood2975 of Egypt.4714
|
6 It is he that builds1129 his stories4609 in the heaven,8064 and has founded3245 his troop92 in the earth;776 he that calls7121 for the waters4325 of the sea,3220 and pours8210 them out on the face6440 of the earth:776 The LORD3068 is his name.8034
|
7 Are you not as children1121 of the Ethiopians3569 to me, O children1121 of Israel?3478 said5002 the LORD.3068 Have not I brought5927 up Israel3478 out of the land776 of Egypt?4714 and the Philistines6430 from Caphtor,3731 and the Syrians758 from Kir?7024
|
8 Behold,2009 the eyes5869 of the Lord136 GOD3069 are on the sinful2401 kingdom,4467 and I will destroy8045 it from off5921 the face6440 of the earth;127 saving657 that I will not utterly destroy8045 the house1004 of Jacob,3290 said5002 the LORD.3068
|
9 For, see,2009 I will command,6680 and I will sift5128 the house1004 of Israel3478 among all3605 nations,1471 like as corn is sifted5128 in a sieve,3531 yet shall not the least grain6872 fall5307 on the earth.776
|
10 All3605 the sinners2400 of my people5971 shall die4191 by the sword,2719 which say,559 The evil7451 shall not overtake5066 nor prevent6923 us.
|
11 In that day3117 will I raise6965 up the tabernacle5521 of David1732 that is fallen,5307 and close1443 up the breaches6556 thereof; and I will raise6965 up his ruins,2034 and I will build1129 it as in the days3117 of old:5769
|
12 That they may possess3423 the remnant7611 of Edom,123 and of all3605 the heathen,1471 which834 are called7121 by my name,8034 said5002 the LORD3068 that does6213 this.2063
|
13 Behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 said5002 the LORD,3068 that the plowman2790 shall overtake5066 the reaper,7114 and the treader1869 of grapes6025 him that sows4900 seed;2233 and the mountains2022 shall drop5197 sweet6071 wine,6071 and all3605 the hills1389 shall melt.4127
|
14 And I will bring7725 again7725 the captivity7622 of my people5971 of Israel,3478 and they shall build1129 the waste8074 cities,5892 and inhabit3427 them; and they shall plant5193 vineyards,3754 and drink8354 the wine3196 thereof; they shall also make6213 gardens,1593 and eat398 the fruit6529 of them.
|
15 And I will plant5193 them on their land,127 and they shall no3808 more5750 be pulled5428 up out of their land127 which834 I have given5414 them, said559 the LORD3068 your God.430
