Amos 9

<< Amos 9 >>
New International Version 1984
 

9“For I will give the command,

and I will shake the house of Israel

among all the nations

as grain is shaken in a sieve,

and not a pebble will reach the ground.

10All the sinners among my people

will die by the sword,

all those who say,

‘Disaster will not overtake or meet us.’

Israel’s Restoration

11“In that day I will restore

David’s fallen tent.

I will repair its broken places,

restore its ruins,

and build it as it used to be,

12so that they may possess the remnant of Edom

and all the nations that bear my name,f

declares the Lord, who will do these things.

13“The days are coming,” declares the Lord,

“when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman

and the planter by the one treading grapes.

New wine will drip from the mountains

and flow from all the hills.

14I will bring back my exiledg people Israel;

they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them.

They will plant vineyards and drink their wine;

they will make gardens and eat their fruit.

15I will plant Israel in their own land,

never again to be uprooted

from the land I have given them,”

says the Lord your God.
