Amos 9:5-7
New Living Translation
Amos 9:5-7
New Living Translation
5 The Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
touches the land and it melts,
and all its people mourn.
The ground rises like the Nile River at floodtime,
and then it sinks again.
6 The Lord’s home reaches up to the heavens,
while its foundation is on the earth.
He draws up water from the oceans
and pours it down as rain on the land.
The Lord is his name!
7 “Are you Israelites more important to me
than the Ethiopians?[a]” asks the Lord.
“I brought Israel out of Egypt,
but I also brought the Philistines from Crete[b]
and led the Arameans out of Kir.

Amos 9:5-7
New International Version
5 The Lord, the Lord Almighty—
he touches the earth and it melts,(A)
and all who live in it mourn;
the whole land rises like the Nile,
then sinks like the river of Egypt;(B)
6 he builds his lofty palace[a](C) in the heavens
and sets its foundation[b] on the earth;
he calls for the waters of the sea
and pours them out over the face of the land—
the Lord is his name.(D)
