Amos 9:7-15
Complete Jewish Bible
7 “People of Isra’el, are you any different
from the Ethiopians to me?” asks Adonai.
“True, I brought Isra’el up from Egypt,
but I also brought the P’lishtim from Kaftor,
and Aram from Kir.
8 Look, the eyes of Adonai Elohim
are on the sinful kingdom.
I will wipe it off the face of the earth,
yet I will not completely destroy
the house of Ya‘akov,” says Adonai.
9 “For when I give the order,
I will shake the house of Isra’el,
there among all the Goyim,
as one shakes with a sieve,
letting no grain fall to the ground.
10 All the sinners among my people
who say, ‘Disaster will never overtake us
or confront us,’ will die by the sword.
11 “When that day comes, I will raise up
the fallen sukkah of David.
I will close up its gaps, raise up its ruins
and rebuild it as it used to be,
12 so that Isra’el can possess
what is left of Edom
and of all the nations bearing my name,”
says Adonai, who is doing this.
13 “The days will come,” says Adonai,
“when the plowman will overtake the reaper
and the one treading grapes the one sowing seed.
Sweet wine will drip down the mountains,
and all the hills will flow with it.
14 I will restore the fortunes of my people Isra’el;
they will rebuild and inhabit the ruined cities;
they will plant vineyards and drink their wine,
cultivate gardens and eat their fruit.
15 I will plant them on their own soil,
no more to be uprooted
from their land, which I gave them,”
says Adonai your God.

the same to me as the Cushites[a]?”(A)

the Philistines(B) from Caphtor[b](C)
and the Arameans from Kir?(D)

from the face of the earth.
Yet I will not totally destroy
the descendants of Jacob,”

will die by the sword,(J)
all those who say,
‘Disaster will not overtake or meet us.’(K)
Israel’s Restoration
11 “In that day
“I will restore David’s(L) fallen shelter(M)—
I will repair its broken walls
and restore its ruins(N)—
and will rebuild it as it used to be,(O)
12 so that they may possess the remnant of Edom(P)
and all the nations that bear my name,[c](Q)”
declares the Lord, who will do these things.(R)
13 “The days are coming,”(S) declares the Lord,
“when the reaper(T) will be overtaken by the plowman(U)
and the planter by the one treading(V) grapes.
New wine(W) will drip from the mountains
and flow from all the hills,(X)
14 and I will bring(Y) my people Israel back from exile.[d](Z)
“They will rebuild the ruined cities(AA) and live in them.
They will plant vineyards(AB) and drink their wine;
they will make gardens and eat their fruit.(AC)
15 I will plant(AD) Israel in their own land,(AE)
never again to be uprooted(AF)
from the land I have given them,”(AG)
says the Lord your God.(AH)
