Amos 9:7-9
American Standard Version
7 Are ye not as the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith Jehovah. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir? 8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; save that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith Jehovah. 9 For, lo, I will command, and I will [a]sift the house of Israel among all the nations, like as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least kernel fall upon the earth.

Amos 9:7-9
New International Version
7 “Are not you Israelites
the same to me as the Cushites[a]?”(A)
declares the Lord.
“Did I not bring Israel up from Egypt,
the Philistines(B) from Caphtor[b](C)
and the Arameans from Kir?(D)
8 “Surely the eyes of the Sovereign Lord
are on the sinful kingdom.
I will destroy(E) it
from the face of the earth.
Yet I will not totally destroy
the descendants of Jacob,”
declares the Lord.(F)
9 “For I will give the command,
and I will shake the people of Israel
among all the nations
as grain(G) is shaken in a sieve,(H)
and not a pebble will reach the ground.(I)
