Amos 9:2-4
New King James Version
2 “Though(A) they dig into [a]hell,
From there My hand shall take them;
(B)Though they climb up to heaven,
From there I will bring them down;
3 And though they (C)hide themselves on top of Carmel,
From there I will search and take them;
Though they hide from My sight at the bottom of the sea,
From there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them;
4 Though they go into captivity before their enemies,
From there (D)I will command the sword,
And it shall slay them.
(E)I will set My eyes on them for harm and not for good.”
