Amos 9:7–12

7  zAre ye not as children of athe Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the Lord.

Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt?

And bthe Philistines from cCaphtor, and dthe Syrians from Kir?

8  Behold, ethe eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom,

And I will destroy it from off the face of the earth;

fSaving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.

9  For, lo, I will command, and I will †gsift the house of Israel among all nations,

hLike as corn gis sifted in a sieve, iyet shall not the least †grain fall upon the earth.

10  All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword,

iiWhich say, jThe evil shall not overtake nor kprevent us.

11  lIn that day mwill I raise up the ntabernacle 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:

12  moThat they may possess the remnant of Edom, and pof all the heathen,

†Which are called by my name,

Saith the Lord that doeth this.
