Amos 9:8–15

⁸Look, the eyes of the Lord God

are on the sinful kingdom, ^p

and I will destroy it

from the face of the earth. ^q

However, I will not totally destroy

the house of Jacob ^r—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

⁹for I am about to give the command,

and I will shake the house of Israel ^s

among all the nations,

as one shakes a sieve,

but not a pebble will fall to the ground.

¹⁰All the sinners among My people ^t

who say: “Disaster will never overtake ^u

or confront us,” ^v

will die by the sword.

Announcement of Restoration

¹¹In that day

I will restore the fallen booth ^wof David: ^x

I will repair its gaps,

restore its ruins, ^y

and rebuild it as in the days of old, ^z

¹²so that they may possess

the remnant of Edom ^a

and all the nations

that are called by My name ^bc—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

He will do this.

¹³Hear this! The days are coming—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

when the plowman will overtake the reaper ^d

and the one who treads grapes,

the sower of seed.

The mountains will drip with sweet wine,

and all the hills will flow with it. ^e

¹⁴I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel. ^fg

They will rebuild and occupy ruined cities, ^h

plant vineyards and drink their wine,

make gardens and eat their produce. ⁱ

¹⁵I will plant them on their land,

and they will never again be uprooted

from the land I have given them. ^j

Yahweh your God has spoken.
