1 I saw the Lord standing beside the altar as he was saying, |Strike the doorposts so that the thresholds tremble, bringing them down on the heads of all of them. Those who survive I will kill with the sword. Those who flee will not escape. There will be no deliverance for the fugitives. 2 |Even if they burrow into Sheol, from there my hand will find them. Even if they ascend to the heavens, from there I will bring them down. 3 Even if they hide at the top of Mount Carmel, from there I will search and seize them. Even if they hide from my sight in the depths of the sea, from there I will order the serpent to strike them. 4 Even if they go into exile among their enemies, from there I will order the sword to kill them. I will fix my gaze on them to inflict disaster, and not to do good. Amos 9:1-4, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
