Amos 9:8–15

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

And I ^qwill destroy it from the face of the earth;

Yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,”

Says the Lord.

⁹“For surely I will command,

And will ⁷sift the house of Israel among all nations,

As grain is sifted in a sieve;

^rYet not the smallest ⁸grain shall fall to the ground.

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

^sWho say, ‘The calamity shall not overtake nor confront us.’

Israel Will Be Restored

¹¹“On ^tthat day I will raise up

The ⁹tabernacle of David, which has fallen down,

And ¹repair its damages;

I will raise up its ruins,

And rebuild it as in the days of old;

^12uThat they may possess the remnant of ^vEdom, ²

And all the Gentiles who are called by My name,”

Says the Lord who does this thing.

¹³“Behold, ^wthe days are coming,” says the Lord,

“When the plowman shall overtake the reaper,

And the treader of grapes him who sows seed;

^xThe mountains shall drip with sweet wine,

And all the hills shall flow with it.

^14yI will bring back the captives of My people Israel;

^zThey shall build the waste cities and inhabit them;

They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them;

They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them.

¹⁵I will plant them in their land,

^aAnd no longer shall they be pulled up

From the land I have given them,”

Says the Lord your God.
