Amos 9:8–15

⁸“Behold, the ^aeyes of the Lord God are on the sinful kingdom,

And I will ^bdestroy it from the face of the earth;

Nevertheless, I will ^cnot totally destroy the house of Jacob,”

Declares the Lord.

⁹“For behold, I am commanding,

And I will ^ashake the house of Israel among all nations

As grain is shaken in a sieve,

But not a ¹kernel will fall to the ground.

¹⁰“All the ^asinners of My people will die by the sword,

Those who say, ‘^bThe calamity will not overtake or confront us.’

The Restoration of Israel

¹¹“In that day I will ^araise up the fallen ^1bbooth of David,

And wall up its ^cbreaches;

I will also raise up its ruins

And rebuild it as in the ^ddays of old;

^12aThat they may possess the remnant of ^bEdom

And all the ¹nations who are ^ccalled by My name,”

Declares the Lord who does this.

¹³“Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord,

“When the ^aplowman will overtake the reaper

And the treader of grapes him who sows seed;

When the ^bmountains will drip sweet ^cwine

And all the hills will be dissolved.

¹⁴“Also I will ^arestore the ¹captivity of My people Israel,

And they will ^brebuild the ruined cities and live in them;

They will also ^cplant vineyards and drink their wine,

And make gardens and eat their fruit.

¹⁵“I will also plant them on their land,

And ^athey will not again be rooted out from their land

Which I have given them,”

Says the Lord your God.
