Amos 9:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ “You Israelites are just like
    the people of Cush to me,”
    announces the Lord.
“I brought Israel up from Egypt.
    I also brought the Philistines from Crete
    and the Arameans from Kir.

⁸ “I am the Lord and King.
    My eyes are watching the sinful kingdom of Israel.
I will wipe it off the face of the earth.
    But I will not totally destroy the people of Jacob,”
    announces the Lord.
⁹ “I will give an order.
    I will shake the people of Israel
    among all the nations.
They will be like grain that is shaken through a screen.
    Not a pebble will fall to the ground.
