Amos 9:8-15

English Standard Version

⁸Behold, ^(A)the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom,
and I will destroy it from the surface of the ground,
^(B)except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,”
declares the Lord.

⁹“For behold, I will command,
    ^(C)and shake the house of Israel among all the nations
as one shakes with a sieve,
    but no pebble shall fall to the earth.
¹⁰All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword,
    who say, ^(D)‘Disaster shall not overtake or meet us.’

The Restoration of Israel

¹¹“In that day ^(E)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,
¹²^(F)that they may possess the remnant of Edom
    and ^(G)all the nations who are called by my name,”^[a]
    declares the Lord who does this.

¹³“Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord,
    ^(H)“when the plowman shall overtake the reaper
    and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed;
^(I)the mountains shall drip sweet wine,
    and all the hills shall flow with it.
¹⁴^(J)I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel,
    and ^(K)they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them;
^(L)they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine,
    and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit.
¹⁵^(M)I will plant them on their land,
    ^(N)and they shall never again be uprooted
    out of the land ^(O)that I have given them,”
says the Lord your God.
