Amos 9:8-10
Contemporary English Version
Amos 9:8-10
Contemporary English Version
8 My eyes have seen
what a sinful nation you are,
and I'll wipe you out.
But I will leave a few
of Jacob's descendants.
I, the Lord, have spoken!
9 At my command, all of you
will be sifted like grain.
Israelites who remain faithful
will be scattered
among the nations.
And the others will be trapped
like trash in a sifter.
10 Some of you are evil,
and you deny
that you will ever get caught.
But you will be killed.
Amos 9:8-10

Amos 9:8-10
New International Version
8 “Surely the eyes of the Sovereign Lord
are on the sinful kingdom.
I will destroy(A) it
from the face of the earth.
Yet I will not totally destroy
the descendants of Jacob,”
declares the Lord.(B)
9 “For I will give the command,
and I will shake the people of Israel
among all the nations
as grain(C) is shaken in a sieve,(D)
and not a pebble will reach the ground.(E)
10 All the sinners among my people
will die by the sword,(F)
all those who say,
‘Disaster will not overtake or meet us.’(G)
