Amos 9:8–15

⁸Behold, ^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.

⁹For, 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.

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

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

^11lIn 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:

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

^†Which are called by my name,

Saith the Lord that doeth this.

^13qBehold, the days come, saith the Lord,

That ^rthe plowman shall overtake the reaper,

And ^rthe treader of grapes him that ^†soweth seed;

And ^sthe mountains shall drop ^||tsweet wine,

And ^uall the hills ^uvshall melt.

¹⁴And ^wI will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel,

And ^xythey shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them;

And ^yzthey shall plant vineyards, and ^sdrink the wine thereof;

They shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

¹⁵And ^aI will plant them upon their land,

And ^bthey shall no more be pulled up out of their land ^cwhich I have given them,

Saith the Lord thy God.
