NASB — Amos 9 — KJV

God’s Judgment Unavoidable

1 I saw° the Lord° standing° beside° the aaltar°, and He said°,
  “Smite° the capitals° so that the bthresholds° will shake°,
  And cbreak° them on the heads° of them all°!
  Then I will dslay° the rest° of them with the sword°;
  They will enot have a fugitive° who will flee°,
  Or a refugee° who will escape°.
  2 “Though° they dig° into aSheol°,
  From there° will My hand° take° them;
  And though° they bascend° to heaven°,
  From there° will I bring° them down°.
  3 “Though° they hide° on the summit° of Carmel°,
  I will asearch° them out and take° them from there°;
  And though° they bconceal° themselves from My sight° on the floor° of the sea°,
  From there° I will command° the cserpent° and it will bite° them.
  4 “And though° they go° into acaptivity° before° their enemies°,
  From there° I will command° the sword° that it slay° them,
  And I will bset° My eyes° against° them for evil° and not for good°.”

The certainty of the desolation.

1 ¶ I sawºª² the Lordº standingºª upon² the altar:º and he said,ºª Smiteºª the lintel² of the door,¹ that the postsº may shake:ºª and cutºª them in the head,º all² of them; and I will slayºª the lastº of them with the sword:º he that fleethºª of them shall not² flee away,ºª and he that escapethº of them shall not² be delivered.ºª 2 Though² they digºª into hell,º thence²² shall mine handº takeºª them; though² they climb upºª to heaven,º thence²² will I bring them down:ºª 3 And though² they hide¹ª themselves² in the topº of Carmel,º I will searchºª and take² them out¹ª thence;²² and though² they be hidºª from²² my sightº in the bottomº of the sea,º thence²² will I commandºª² the serpent,º and he shall biteºª them: 4 And though² they go¹ª² into captivityº beforeº their enemies,ºª thence²² will I commandºª² the sword,º and it shall slayºª them: and I will setºª mine eyesº upon² them for evil,º and not² for good.º 5 And the Lordº GODº of hostsº [is] he that touchethºª the land,º and it shall melt,ºª and all² that dwellºª therein shall mourn:ºª and it shall rise upºª wholly² like a flood;º and shall be drowned,ºª as [by] the floodº of Egypt.º 6 [It is] he that buildethºª his storiesº in the heaven,º and hath foundedºª his troopº in² the earth;º he that callethºª for the watersº of the sea,º and poureth them outºª upon² the faceº of the earth:º The LORDº [is] his name.º 7 [Are] ye² not² as childrenº of the Ethiopiansº unto me, O childrenº of Israel?º saithºª the LORD.º Have not² I brought upºª² Israelº out of the landº² of Egypt?º and the Philistinesº from Caphtor,º² and the Syriansº from Kir?º² 8 Behold,² the eyesº of the Lordº GODº [are] upon the sinful¹² kingdom,º and I will destroyºª it from off²² the faceº of the earth;º savingº that² I will not² utterly¹ª destroyºª² the houseº of Jacob,º saithºª the LORD.º 9 For,² lo,² I² will command,ºª and I will siftºª² the houseº of Israelº among all² nations,º like as² [corn] is siftedºª in a sieve,º yet shall not² the least grainº fallºª upon the earth.º 10 All² the sinnersº of my peopleº shall dieºª by the sword,º which say,ºª The evilº shall not² overtakeºª nor preventºª² us.

The restoring of the Tabernacle of David.

11 ¶ In that² dayº will I raise upºª² the tabernacleº of Davidº that is fallen,ºª and close upºª² the breachesº thereof; and I will raise upºª his ruins,º and I will buildºª it as in the daysº of old:º 12 That² they may possessºª² the remnantº of Edom,º and of all² the heathen,º which² are called¹ª by²² my name,º saithºª the LORDº that doethºª this.² 13 Behold,² the daysº come,ºª saithºª the LORD,º that the plowmanºª shall overtakeºª the reaper,ºª and the treaderºª of grapesº him that sowethºª seed;º and the mountainsº shall dropºª sweet wine,º and all² the hillsº shall melt.ºª 14 And I will bring againºª² the captivityº of my peopleº of Israel,º and they shall buildºª the wasteºª cities,º and inhabitºª [them]; and they shall plantºª vineyards,º and drinkºª² the wineº thereof; they shall also makeºª gardens,º and eatºª² the fruitº of them. 15 And I will plantºª them upon² their land,º and they shall no² more² be pulled upºª out of²² their landº which² I have givenºª them, saithºª the LORDº thy God.º
