Amos 9 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

“Though ^H518 they dig ^H2864 into Sheol ^H7585,

From there ^H8033 My hand ^H3027 will take ^H3947 them;

And though ^H518 they ascend ^H5927 to heaven ^H8064,

From there ^H8033 I will bring ^H3381 them down ^H3381.

“And though ^H518 they hide ^H2244 on the summit ^H7218 of Carmel ^H3760,

I will track ^H2664 them down ^H2664 and take ^H3947 them from there ^H8033;

And though ^H518 they hide ^H5641 themselves from My sight ^H5869 on the bottom ^H7172 of the sea ^H3220,

I will command ^H6680 the serpent ^H5175 from there ^H8033, and it will bite ^H5391 them.

“And though ^H518 they go ^H1980 into captivity ^H7628 before ^H6440 their enemies ^H340,

From there ^H8033 I will command ^H6680 the sword ^H2719 and it will kill ^H2026 them,

And I will set ^H7760 My eyes ^H5869 against ^H5921 them for harm ^H7451 and not for good ^H2896.”

The Lord ^H136 [fn]GOD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635,

The One who touches ^H5060 the land ^H776 so that it quakes ^H4127,

And all ^H3605 those who live ^H3427 in it mourn ^H56,

And all ^H3605 of it rises ^H5927 up ^H5927 like the Nile ^H2975

And subsides ^H8257 like the Nile ^H2975 of Egypt ^H4714;

The One who builds ^H1129 His upper ^H5944 chambers ^H5944 in the heavens ^H8064

And has founded ^H3245 His vaulted ^H92 dome ^H92 over ^H5921 the earth ^H776,

He who calls ^H7121 for the waters ^H4325 of the sea ^H3220

And pours ^H8210 them out ^H8210 on the face ^H6440 of the earth ^H776,

The LORD ^H3068 is His name ^H8034.

“Are you not as the sons ^H1121 of Ethiopia ^H3569 to Me,

You sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478?” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068.

“Have I not brought ^H5927 up ^H5927 Israel ^H3478 from the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714,

And the Philistines ^H6430 from Caphtor ^H3731 and the Arameans ^H758 from Kir ^H7024?

“Behold ^H2009, the eyes ^H5869 of the Lord ^H136 GOD ^H3068 are on the sinful ^H2400 kingdom ^H4467,

And I will eliminate ^H8045 it from the face ^H6440 of the earth ^H127;

Nevertheless ^H657 H3588, I will not totally ^H8045 eliminate ^H8045 the house ^H1004 of Jacob ^H3290,”

Declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068.

“For behold ^H2009, I am commanding ^H6680,

And I will shake ^H5128 the house ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478 among all ^H3605 nations ^H1471

As grain is shaken ^H5128 in a sieve ^H3531,

But not a pebble ^H6872 will fall ^H5307 to the ground ^H776.

“All ^H3605 the sinners ^H2400 of My people ^H5971 will die ^H4191 by the sword ^H2719,

Those who say ^H559, ‘The catastrophe ^H7451 will not overtake ^H5066 or confront ^H6923 us.’

“On that day ^H3117 I will raise ^H6965 up ^H6965 the fallen ^H5307 [fn]shelter ^H5521 of David ^H1732,

And wall ^H1443 up ^H1443 its gaps ^H6556;

I will also raise ^H6965 up ^H6965 its ruins ^H2034

And rebuild ^H1129 it as in the days ^H3117 of old ^H5769;

So ^H4616 that ^H4616 they may [fn]possess ^H3423 the remnant ^H7611 of Edom ^H123

And all ^H3605 the [fn]nations ^H1471 who ^H834 are called ^H7121 by My name ^H8034,”

Declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 who does ^H6213 this ^H2088.

“Behold ^H2009, days ^H3117 are coming ^H935,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068,

“When the plowman ^H2790 will overtake ^H5066 the reaper ^H7114,

And the one who treads ^H1869 grapes ^H6025 will overtake him who sows ^H4900 the seed ^H2233;

When the mountains ^H2022 will drip ^H5197 grape ^H6071 juice ^H6071,

And all ^H3605 the hills ^H1389 will come ^H4127 apart ^H4127.

“I will also restore ^H7725 the fortunes ^H7622 of My people ^H5971 Israel ^H3478,

And they will rebuild ^H1129 the desolated ^H8074 cities ^H5892 and live ^H3427 in them;

They will also plant ^H5193 vineyards ^H3754 and drink ^H8354 their wine ^H3196,

And make ^H6213 gardens ^H1593 and eat ^H398 their fruit ^H6529.

“I will also plant ^H5193 them on their land ^H127,

And they will not be uprooted ^H5428 again ^H5750 from their land ^H127

Which ^H834 I have given ^H5414 them,”

Says ^H559 the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430.
