Amos 9:1-3

International Children’s Bible

Israel Will Be Destroyed

9 I saw the Lord standing by the altar. He said:

“Smash the top of the pillars
    so that even the bottom of the doors will shake.
Make the pillars fall on the people’s heads.
    Anyone left alive I will kill with a sword.
Not one person will get away.
    No one will escape.
²If they dig down as deep as where the dead are,
    I will pull them up from there.
If they climb up into the skies,
    I will bring them down from there.
³If they hide at the top of Mount Carmel,
    I will find them and take them away.
If they try to hide from me at the bottom of the sea,
    I will command a snake to bite them.
