Amos 9:8-15 ▼

8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord YHWH are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth—except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob.” An utterance of YHWH.

9 “For behold, I am giving the command, and I will shake among all the nations the house of Israel, as it is shaken in a sieve, and not a pebble will fall to the ground.

10 By the sword they will die—all the sinful ones of My people, those saying, ‘This evil will not come near or meet with us.’”

11 “On that day I will raise up the tent of David that has fallen, and I will wall up its breaches, and its ruins I will raise up, and I will rebuild it as in the days of old,

12 so that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all of the nations that My name is called over them,” a declaration of YHWH, the One doing this.

13 “Behold, the days are coming,” says YHWH, “And the one plowing will draw near to the one reaping, and the one treading the grapes to the one drawing out the seed, and the mountains will drip sweet wine, and all the hills will flow with it.

14 And I will turn back the captivity of My people Israel, and they will rebuild the cities that are desolate and will dwell in them, and they will plant vineyards and drink their wine, and they will make gardens and eat of their fruit.

15 And I will plant them in their land, and they will not be uprooted anymore from the land that I have given to them,” says YHWH your God.
