Amos 9:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴If they are captured and taken away by their enemies,
I will command the sword to kill them.
I will keep watch over them.
But I will keep watch to give them trouble, not to do them good.”

⁵The Master, the Lord of heaven’s armies, will touch the land.
    And the land will shake.
    Then everyone who lives in the land will cry for the dead.
The whole land will rise like the Nile River.
    It will fall like the river of Egypt.
⁶The Lord built his upper rooms above the skies.
    He sets their foundations on the earth.
He calls for the waters of the sea.
    He pours them out on the land.
    The Lord is his name.
