English Standard Version
Amos 9:5-11
English Standard Version
5 The Lord God of hosts,
he who touches the earth and (A)it melts,
and all who dwell in it mourn,
(B)and all of it rises like the Nile,
(C)and sinks again, like the Nile of Egypt;
6 (D)who builds his upper chambers in the heavens
and founds his vault upon the earth;
(E)who calls for the waters of the sea
and pours them out upon the surface of the earth—
(F)the Lord is his name.
7 “Are you not like (G)the Cushites to me,
O people of Israel?” declares the Lord.
(H)“Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt,
and (I)the Philistines from (J)Caphtor and the Syrians from (K)Kir?
8 Behold, (L)the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom,
and I will destroy it from the surface of the ground,
(M)except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,”
declares the Lord.
9 “For behold, I will command,
(N)and shake the house of Israel among all the nations
as one shakes with a sieve,
but no pebble shall fall to the earth.
10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword,
who say, (O)‘Disaster shall not overtake or meet us.’
The Restoration of Israel
11 “In that day (P)I will raise up
the booth of David that is fallen
and repair its breaches,
and raise up its ruins
and rebuild it as in the days of old,

New International Version
5 The Lord, the Lord Almighty—
he touches the earth and it melts,(A)
and all who live in it mourn;
the whole land rises like the Nile,
then sinks like the river of Egypt;(B)
6 he builds his lofty palace[a](C) in the heavens
and sets its foundation[b] on the earth;
he calls for the waters of the sea
and pours them out over the face of the land—
the Lord is his name.(D)
7 “Are not you Israelites
the same to me as the Cushites[c]?”(E)
declares the Lord.
“Did I not bring Israel up from Egypt,
the Philistines(F) from Caphtor[d](G)
and the Arameans from Kir?(H)
8 “Surely the eyes of the Sovereign Lord
are on the sinful kingdom.
I will destroy(I) it
from the face of the earth.
Yet I will not totally destroy
the descendants of Jacob,”
declares the Lord.(J)
9 “For I will give the command,
and I will shake the people of Israel
among all the nations
as grain(K) is shaken in a sieve,(L)
and not a pebble will reach the ground.(M)
10 All the sinners among my people
will die by the sword,(N)
all those who say,
‘Disaster will not overtake or meet us.’(O)
