Amos 9,1-15
Chapter IX.
1 The certeintie of the desolation. 11 The restoring of the Tabernacle of Dauid.
[The power, and goodnesse of God.]
1 I saw the Lord standing vpon the altar, and he said, Smite the [ Or, chapiter, or knop.] lintell of the doore, that the posts may shake: and [ Or, wound them.] cut them in the head all of them, and I will slay the last of them with the sword: hee that fleeth of them, shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them, shall not be deliuered.
2 [ Psa_139:8 , etc.] Though they digge into hell, thence shall mine hand take them: though they clime vp to heauen, thence will I bring them downe.
3 And though they hide themselues in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence, and though they be hid from my sight in the bottome of the Sea, thence will I commaund the serpent, and he shall bite them.
4 And though they goe into captiuitie before their enemies, thence will I commaund the sword, and it shall slay them: and [ Jer_44:11 .] I will set mine eyes vpon them for euill, and not for good.
5 And the Lord God of hostes is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwelleth therein shall mourne, and it shall rise vp wholly like a flood, and shall be drowned as by the flood of Egypt.
6 It is he that buildeth his [ Or, spheares Hebrew: ascensions.] [ Psa_104:3 .] stories in the heauen, and hath founded his [ Or, bundell.] troupe in the earth, he that [ Amo_5:8 .] calleth for the waters of the Sea, and powreth them out vpon the face of the earth: the Lord is his name.
7 Are yee not as children of the Ethiopians vnto me, O children of Israel, saith the Lord ? haue not I brought vp Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the [ Jer_47:4 .] Philistines from Caphtor,
[The power, and goodnesse of God.]
and the Syrians from Kir?
8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are vpon the sinfull kingdome, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; sauing that I will not vtterly destroy the house of Iacob, saith the Lord.
9 For loe, I will commaund, and I will [ Hebrew: cease to moue.] sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corne is sifted in a sieue, yet shall not the least [ Hebrew: stone.] graine fall vpon the earth.
10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say: The euill shall not ouertake nor preuent vs.
11 In that day will I raise vp the [ Act_15:16 .] tabernacle of Dauid, that is fallen, and [ Hebrew: hedge, or wall.] close vp the breaches thereof, and I will raise vp his ruines, and I will build it as in the dayes of old;
12 That they may possesse the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen; [ Hebrew: vpon whom my name is called.] which are called by my name, saith the Lord that doth this.
13 Behold, the daies come, saith the Lord, that the plowman shall ouertake the reaper, & the treader of grapes him that [ Hebrew: draweth forth.] soweth seede, and the mountaines shall drop [ Or, new wine.] [ Joe_3:18 .] sweete wine, and all the hils shall melt.
14 And I will bring againe the captiuitie of my people of Israel: and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drinke the wine thereof: they shall also make gardens, and eate the fruite of them.
15 And I will plant them vpon their land, and they shall no more be pulled vp out of their land, which I haue giuen them, saith the Lord thy God.
