AMOS
[IX
- Though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:
- And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel,
- I will search and take them out thence;
- And though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea,
- Thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:
- And though they go into captivity before their enemies,
- Thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them:
- And I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
- And the Lord God of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt,
- And all that dwell therein shall mourn:
- And it shall rise up wholly like a flood;
- And shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
- It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven,
- And hath founded his troop in the earth;
- He that calleth for the waters of the sea,
- And poureth them out upon the face of the earth:
- The Lord is his name.
- Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me,
- O children of Israel? saith the Lord.
- Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt?
