Amos 9:4-6

New Century Version

⁴If they are captured and taken away by their enemies,
I will command the sword to kill them.
I will keep watch over them,
but I will keep watch to give them trouble, not to do them good.”

⁵The Lord God All-Powerful touches the land,
    and the land shakes.
    Then everyone who lives in the land cries for the dead.
The whole land rises like the Nile River
    and falls like the river of Egypt.
⁶The Lord builds his upper rooms above the skies;
    he sets their foundations on the earth.
He calls for the waters of the sea
    and pours them out on the land.
    The Lord is his name.
