AM-9:1 I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said,

Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut

them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them

with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and

he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.

AM-9:2 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take

them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them

down:

AM-9:3 And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I

will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid

from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command

the serpent, and he shall bite them:

AM-9:4 And though they go into captivity before their enemies,

thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I

will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

AM-9:5 And the Lord GOD of hosts [is] he that toucheth the land,

and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and

it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as

[by] the flood of Egypt.

AM-9:6 [It is] he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and

hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the

waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the

earth: The LORD [is] his name.

AM-9:7 [Are] ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O

children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel

out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and

the Syrians from Kir?

AM-9:8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD [are] upon the sinful

kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth;

saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith

the LORD.

AM-9:9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of

Israel among all nations, like as [corn] is sifted in a sieve,

yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.

AM-9:10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword,

which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.

AM-9:11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle 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:

AM-9:12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all

the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that

doeth this.

AM-9:13 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman

shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that

soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all

the hills shall melt.

AM-9:14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of

Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit

[them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine

thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

AM-9:15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no

more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them,

saith the LORD thy God.
