Amos 9:11-12
New Living Translation
A Promise of Restoration
11 “In that day I will restore the fallen house[a] of David.
I will repair its damaged walls.
From the ruins I will rebuild it
and restore its former glory.
12 And Israel will possess what is left of Edom
and all the nations I have called to be mine.[b]”
The Lord has spoken,
and he will do these things.
