Amos 9:8-15
New International Version
Amos 9:8-15
New International Version
8 “Surely the eyes of the Sovereign Lord
are on the sinful kingdom.
I will destroy(A) it
from the face of the earth.
Yet I will not totally destroy
the descendants of Jacob,”
declares the Lord.(B)
9 “For I will give the command,
and I will shake the people of Israel
among all the nations
as grain(C) is shaken in a sieve,(D)
and not a pebble will reach the ground.(E)
10 All the sinners among my people
will die by the sword,(F)
all those who say,
‘Disaster will not overtake or meet us.’(G)
Israel’s Restoration
11 “In that day
“I will restore David’s(H) fallen shelter(I)—
I will repair its broken walls
and restore its ruins(J)—
and will rebuild it as it used to be,(K)
12 so that they may possess the remnant of Edom(L)
and all the nations that bear my name,[a](M)”
declares the Lord, who will do these things.(N)
13 “The days are coming,”(O) declares the Lord,
“when the reaper(P) will be overtaken by the plowman(Q)
and the planter by the one treading(R) grapes.
New wine(S) will drip from the mountains
and flow from all the hills,(T)
14 and I will bring(U) my people Israel back from exile.[b](V)
“They will rebuild the ruined cities(W) and live in them.
They will plant vineyards(X) and drink their wine;
they will make gardens and eat their fruit.(Y)
15 I will plant(Z) Israel in their own land,(AA)
never again to be uprooted(AB)
from the land I have given them,”(AC)
says the Lord your God.(AD)
Amos 9:8-15
King James Version
Amos 9:8-15
King James Version
8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.
9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.
10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the Lord that doeth this.
13 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.
