1 I saw the Lord standing beside the altar. And he said: Strike the capitals so that the threshold shakes! Break them off on the heads of them all! Those who are left I will slay with the sword. Not one shall get away, no survivor shall escape. 2 Though they dig down to Sheol, even from there my hand shall take them; Though they climb to the heavens, even from there I shall bring them down. 3 Though they hide on the summit of Carmel, there too I will hunt them down and take them; Though they hide from my gaze at the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent to bite them. 4 Though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword to slay them. I will fix my gaze upon them for evil and not for good. Amos 9:1-4, New American Bible Revised. Copyright © 2010 USCCB.
