Amos 9:7-15
New King James Version
Amos 9:7-15
New King James Version
7 “Are you not like the [a]people of Ethiopia to Me,
O children of Israel?” says the Lord.
“Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt,
The (A)Philistines from (B)Caphtor,[b]
And the Syrians from (C)Kir?
8 “Behold, (D)the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful kingdom,
And I (E)will destroy it from the face of the earth;
Yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,”
Says the Lord.
9 “For surely I will command,
And will [c]sift the house of Israel among all nations,
As grain is sifted in a sieve;
(F)Yet not the smallest [d]grain shall fall to the ground.
10 All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword,
(G)Who say, ‘The calamity shall not overtake nor confront us.’
Israel Will Be Restored
11 “On(H) that day I will raise up
The [e]tabernacle of David, which has fallen down,
And [f]repair its damages;
I will raise up its ruins,
And rebuild it as in the days of old;
12 (I)That they may possess the remnant of (J)Edom,[g]
And all the Gentiles who are called by My name,”
Says the Lord who does this thing.
13 “Behold, (K)the days are coming,” says the Lord,
“When the plowman shall overtake the reaper,
And the treader of grapes him who sows seed;
(L)The mountains shall drip with sweet wine,
And all the hills shall flow with it.
14 (M)I will bring back the captives of My people Israel;
(N)They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them;
They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them;
They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them.
15 I will plant them in their land,
(O)And no longer shall they be pulled up
From the land I have given them,”
Says the Lord your God.

Amos 9:7-15
New International Version
7 “Are not you Israelites
the same to me as the Cushites[a]?”(A)
declares the Lord.
“Did I not bring Israel up from Egypt,
the Philistines(B) from Caphtor[b](C)
and the Arameans from Kir?(D)
8 “Surely the eyes of the Sovereign Lord
are on the sinful kingdom.
I will destroy(E) it
from the face of the earth.
Yet I will not totally destroy
the descendants of Jacob,”
declares the Lord.(F)
9 “For I will give the command,
and I will shake the people of Israel
among all the nations
as grain(G) is shaken in a sieve,(H)
and not a pebble will reach the ground.(I)
10 All the sinners among my people
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)
