Amos 9:7-9
Christian Standard Bible
Announcement of Judgment
7 Israelites, are you not like the Cushites to me?(A)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
Didn’t I bring Israel from the land of Egypt,
the Philistines from Caphtor,[a](B)
and the Arameans from Kir?(C)
8 Look, the eyes of the Lord God
are on the sinful kingdom,(D)
and I will obliterate it
from the face of the earth.(E)
However, I will not totally destroy
the house of Jacob(F)—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
9 for I am about to give the command,
and I will shake the house of Israel(G)
among all the nations,
as one shakes a sieve,
but not a pebble will fall to the ground.
