Amos 9:8-15
New American Standard Bible 1995
8 “Behold, the (A)eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful kingdom,
And I will (B)destroy it from the face of the earth;
Nevertheless, I will (C)not totally destroy the house of Jacob,”
Declares the Lord.
9 “For behold, I am commanding,
And I will (D)shake the house of Israel among all nations
As grain is shaken in a sieve,
But not a [a]kernel will fall to the ground.
10 “All the (E)sinners of My people will die by the sword,
Those who say, ‘(F)The calamity will not overtake or confront us.’
The Restoration of Israel
11 “In that day I will (G)raise up the fallen [b](H)booth of David,
And wall up its (I)breaches;
I will also raise up its ruins
And rebuild it as in the (J)days of old;
12 (K)That they may possess the remnant of (L)Edom
And all the [c]nations who are (M)called by My name,”
Declares the Lord who does this.
13 “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“When the (N)plowman will overtake the reaper
And the treader of grapes him who sows seed;
When the (O)mountains will drip sweet (P)wine
And all the hills will be dissolved.
14 “Also I will (Q)restore the [d]captivity of My people Israel,
And they will (R)rebuild the ruined cities and live in them;
They will also (S)plant vineyards and drink their wine,
And make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 “I will also plant them on their land,
And (T)they will not again be rooted out from their land
Which I have given them,”
Says the Lord your God.
