Amos 9

1 I saw [the] Lord standing on the altar and he said strike the capital so they may shake the thresholds and break off them on [the] head of all of them and posterity their by the sword I will kill not he will flee of them [one who] flees and not he will escape of them an escapee.

I saw the Lord standing upon the altar; and he said, Smite the capital, that the sills may quake; and break them in pieces over the head of all of them; and their posterity will I slay with the sword: there shall not flee away from them one that fleeth, and there shall not escape from them one that is saved.

2 If they will dig in Sheol from there hand my it will take them and if they will go up the heavens from there I will bring down them. (Sheol h7585)

Though they were to creep down into the nether world, thence would my hand fetch them; and though they were to climb up to the heavens, thence would I bring them down; (Sheol h7585)

3 And if they will hide themselves on [the] top of Carmel from there I will search for [them] and I will take them and if they will hide themselves from before eyes my at [the] bottom of the sea from there I will command the snake and it will bite them.

And though they were to hide themselves on the top of Carmel, thence would I search and take them out; and though they were to conceal themselves from before my eyes in the bottom of the sea, thence would I command the serpent, that he should bite them;

4 And if they will go in captivity before enemies their from there I will command the sword and it will kill them and I will set eye my on them for evil and not for good.

And though they were to go into captivity before their enemies, thence would I command the sword, that it should slay them: and I will set my eye upon them for evil, and not for good.

5 And [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts who touches the earth and it melted and they mourn all [the] inhabitants in it and it rises like the River all of it and it sinks like [the] River (of Egypt *L(abh)*)

And the Lord Eternal of hosts it is that toucheth the earth, and she melteth away, and all that dwell thereon shall mourn; and she riseth up like a stream wholly; and she sinketh like the stream of Egypt;

6 who builds in the heavens (stairs his *Q(K)*) and vault his on [the] earth he has founds it who summons [the] waters of the sea and he poured out them on [the] surface of the earth [is] Yahweh name his.

That buildeth in the heavens his steps, and hath founded his vault over the earth; that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out over the face of the earth: The Lord is his name.

7 ¿ Not like [the] sons of [the] Cushites [are] you to me O people of Israel [the] utterance of Yahweh ¿ not Israel did I bring up from [the] land of Egypt and [the] Philistines from Caphtor and Aram from Kir.

Are ye not like the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the Lord: have I not brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

8 Here! [the] eyes of - [the] Lord Yahweh [are] on the kingdom sinful and I will destroy it from on [the] surface of the ground nevertheless for not certainly I will destroy [the] house of Jacob [the] utterance of Yahweh.

Behold, the eyes of the Lord Eternal are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; save only that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.

9 That here! I [am] about to command and I will shake among all the nations [the] house of Israel just as it is shaken in sieve and not it will fall a pebble [the] ground.

For, lo, I will give the command, and I will shake about among all the nations the house of Israel, as one shaketh things in a sieve, while not the least piece falleth down upon the earth.

10 By the sword they will die all [the] sinners of people my who say not it will bring near and it may meet through us the calamity.

By the sword shall die all the sinners of my people, who say, The evil will not come near [us], nor hasten along for our sake.

11 On the day that I will raise up [the] booth of David falling and I will wall up breaches their and ruins his I will raise up and I will rebuild it like [the] days of antiquity.

On that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David which is fallen; and I will close up its breaches; and its ruins will I raise up, and I will rebuild it as in days of old:

12 So that they may dispossess [the] remnant of Edom and all the nations which it is called name my on them [the] utterance of Yahweh [who is] about to do this.

In order that they may take possession of the remnant of Edom, and of all the nations, which are called by my name, saith the Lord that doth this.

13 Here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and he will approach [the] plowman the reaper and [the] treader of grapes [the] sower of the seed and they will drip the mountains sweet wine and all the hills they will flow with [it].

Behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when the ploughman shall come close up to the harvester, and the treader of the grapes to the one that scattereth the seed: and the mountains shall drop with sweet new wine, and all the hills shall melt away.

14 And I will turn back [the] captivity of people my Israel and they will rebuild cities desolated and they will dwell [in them] and they will plant vineyards and they will drink wine their and they will make gardens and they will eat fruit their.

And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall build the wasted cities, and dwell therein; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink their wine; and they shall lay out gardens, and eat their fruit.

15 And I will plant them on own land their and not they will be plucked up again from on land their which I have given to them he says Yahweh God your.

And I will plant them upon their own soil, and they shall not be pulled up any more out of their land which I have given unto them, saith the Lord thy God.
