Amos 9:8-15 ▼

8 Behold, the eyes of Lord Yahweh are on the sinful kingdom, And I will destroy it from the face of the earth; Nevertheless, I will not totally destroy the house of Jacob,” Declares Yahweh.

9 “For behold, I am commanding, And I will shake the house of Israel among all nations As grain is shaken in a sieve, But not a kernel will fall to the ground.

10 All the sinners of My people will die by the sword, Those who say, ‘The calamity will not overtake or confront us.’

11 “In that day I will raise up the fallen booth of David And wall up its breaches; I will also raise up its ruins And rebuild it as in the ancient days,

12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom And all the nations who are called by My name,” Declares Yahweh who does this.

13 “Behold, days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “When the plowman will overtake the reaper And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; When the mountains will drip sweet wine And all the hills will melt.

14 Also I will restore the captivity of My people Israel, And they will rebuild the desolated cities and live in them; They will also plant vineyards and drink their wine And make gardens and eat their fruit.

15 I will also plant them on their land, And they will not again be uprooted from their land Which I have given them,” Says Yahweh your God.
