Amos 9:3-5
GOD’S WORD Translation
3 Even if they hide on top of Mount Carmel,
I will look for them and take them from there.
Even if they hide from me at the bottom of the sea,
I will command a sea snake to bite them.
4 Even if they go into exile ahead of their enemies,
I will command a sword to kill them.
I will keep my eyes on them
so that I can bring disaster on them and not help them.
5 The Almighty Lord of Armies touches the earth.
It quakes, and all who live on it mourn.
All of it rises like the Nile
and sinks like Egypt’s river.
Amos 9:3-5
New International Version
3 Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel,(A)
there I will hunt them down and seize them.(B)
Though they hide from my eyes at the bottom of the sea,(C)
there I will command the serpent(D) to bite them.(E)
4 Though they are driven into exile by their enemies,
there I will command the sword(F) to slay them.
Amos 9:3-5
King James Version
3 And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:
4 And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
5 And the Lord God of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
