Amos 9:4
I will set mine eyes upon them for evil - I will use that very providence against them which before worked for their good. Should they look upward, they shall see nothing but the terrible lightning-like eye of a sin-avenging God.
2 “Thougha they dig into hell,
From there My hand shall take them;
bThough they climb up to heaven,
From there I will bring them down;
From there My hand shall take them;
bThough they climb up to heaven,
From there I will bring them down;
3 And though they ahide themselves on top of Carmel,
From there I will search and take them;
Though they hide from My sight at the bottom of the sea,
From there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them;
From there I will search and take them;
Though they hide from My sight at the bottom of the sea,
From there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them;
4 Though they go into captivity before their enemies,
From there aI will command the sword,
And it shall slay them.
bI will set My eyes on them for harm and not for good.”
From there aI will command the sword,
And it shall slay them.
bI will set My eyes on them for harm and not for good.”
5 The Lord God of hosts,
He who touches the earth and it amelts,
bAnd all who dwell there mourn;
All of it shall swell like1 the River,
And subside like the River of Egypt.
He who touches the earth and it amelts,
bAnd all who dwell there mourn;
All of it shall swell like1 the River,
And subside like the River of Egypt.
6 He who builds His alayers in the sky,
And has founded His strata in the earth;
Who bcalls for the waters of the sea,
And pours them out on the face of the earth—
cThe Lord is His name.
And has founded His strata in the earth;
Who bcalls for the waters of the sea,
And pours them out on the face of the earth—
cThe Lord is His name.
