Amos 9:4-6

The Voice

⁴    If they are taken captive by their enemies,
        I will command that they be killed by the sword in their exile,
    And I will fix My gaze upon them,
        not for their good, but for their harm.

⁵The Eternal Lord, Commander of heavenly armies—
    He touches the earth and it cracks and crumbles,
    and everyone upon it cries with grief.
He touches the land and it rises and falls,
    falls and rises like the Nile in Egypt.
⁶He builds His upper chambers in the heavens
    and founds His storeroom^[a] on the earth.
He calls up the waters of the sea
    and pours them out across the land—
Eternal One is His name.
