Amos 9:1-4

1 I saw the Lord standing beside the altar,

and he said: Strike the capitals until thethresholds shake, and shatter them on the

heads of all the people; and those who are

left of them I will kill with the sword;not one of them shall flee away;

not one of them shall escape.

2 If they dig into Sheol,

from there shall my hand take them;if they climb up to heaven,

from there I will bring them down.


32/37

3 If they hide themselves on the top of

Carmel, from there I will search them outand take them; and if they hide from my

sight at the bottom of the sea, there I will

command the serpent, and it shall bitethem.

4 And if they go into captivity before their

enemies, there I will command the sword,

and it shall kill them; and I will fix my eyesupon them for evil and not for good.

And he is before all

things, and in him allthings hold together.
