Amos 9 (WEBP)

[1] I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said, “Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake. Break them in pieces on the head of all of them. I will kill the last of them with the sword. Not one of them will flee away. Not one of them will escape.
[2] Though they dig into Sheol, there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down.
[3] Though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out from there; and though they be hidden from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them.
[4] Though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. I will set my eyes on them for evil, and not for good.
[5] For the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn; and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink again, like the River of Egypt.
[6] It is he who builds his rooms in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth—Yahweh is his name.
[7] Are you not like the children of the Ethiopians to me, children of Israel?” says Yahweh. “Haven’t I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
[8] Behold, the eyes of the Lord Yahweh are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the earth, except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” says Yahweh.
[9] “For behold, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet not the least kernel will fall on the earth.
[10] All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, ‘Evil won’t overtake nor meet us.’
[11] In that day I will raise up the tent of David who is fallen and close up its breaches, and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old,
[12] that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations who are called by my name,” says Yahweh who does this.
[13] “Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills.
[14] I will bring my people Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, and eat their fruit.
[15] I will plant them on their land, and they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them,” says Yahweh your God.

Amos 9 (KJVS)

[1] I saw () the Lord standing () upon the altar: and he said, () Smite () the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: () and cut () them in the head, all of them; and I will slay () the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth () of them shall not flee away, () and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered. ()
[2] Though they dig () into hell, thence shall mine hand take () them; though they climb up () to heaven, thence will I bring them down: ()

[5] 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.
[6] 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.
[7] 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? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
[8] Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy () it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly () destroy () the house of Jacob, saith () the Lord.
[9] For, lo, I will command, () and I will sift () the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted () in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall () upon the earth.
[10] All the sinners of my people shall die () by the sword, which say, () The evil shall not overtake () nor prevent () us.
[11] In that day will I raise up () the tabernacle of David that is fallen, () and close up () the breaches thereof; and I will raise up () his ruins, and I will build () it as in the days of old:
[12] that they may possess () the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called () by my name, saith () the Lord that doeth () this.
[13] Behold, the days come, () saith () the Lord, that the plowman () shall overtake () the reaper, () and the treader () of grapes him that soweth () seed; and the mountains shall drop () sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. ()
[14] And I will bring again () the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build () the waste () cities, and inhabit () them; and they shall plant () vineyards, and drink () the wine thereof; they shall also make () gardens, and eat () the fruit of them.
[15] And I will plant () them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up () out of their land which I have given () them, saith () the Lord thy God.

Amos 9 (BYZ)

[1] ειδον τον κυριον εφεστωτα επι του θυσιαστηριου και ειπεν παταξον επι το ιλαστηριον και σεισθησεται τα προπυλα και διακοψον εις κεφαλας παντων και τους καταλοιπους αυτων εν ρομφαια αποκτενω ου μη διαφυγη εξ αυτων φευγων και ου μη διασωθη εξ αυτων ανασωζομενος
[2] εαν κατορυγωσιν εις αδου εκειθεν η χειρ μου ανασπασει αυτους και εαν αναβωσιν εις τον ουρανον εκειθεν καταξω αυτους
[3] εαν εγκρυβωσιν εις την κορυφην του καρμηλου εκειθεν εξερευνησω και λημψομαι αυτους και εαν καταδυσωσιν εξ οφθαλμων μου εις τα βαθη της θαλασσης εκει εντελουμαι τω δρακοντι και δηξεται αυτους
[4] και εαν πορευθωσιν εν αιχμαλωσια προ προσωπου των εχθρων αυτων εκει εντελουμαι τη ρομφαια και αποκτενει αυτους και στηριω τους οφθαλμους μου επ αυτους εις κακα και ουκ εις αγαθα
[5] και κυριος κυριος ο θεος ο παντοκρατωρ ο εφαπτομενος της γης και σαλευων αυτην και πενθησουσιν παντες οι κατοικουντες αυτην και αναβησεται ως ποταμος συντελεια αυτης και καταβησεται ως ποταμος αιγυπτου
[6] ο οικοδομων εις τον ουρανον αναβασιν αυτου και την επαγγελιαν αυτου επι της γης θεμελιων ο προσκαλουμενος το υδωρ της θαλασσης και εκχεων αυτο επι προσωπον της γης κυριος ο θεος ο παντοκρατωρ ονομα αυτω
[7] ουχ ως υιοι αιθιοπων υμεις εστε εμοι υιοι ισραηλ λεγει κυριος ου τον ισραηλ ανηγαγον εκ γης αιγυπτου και τους αλλοφυλους εκ καππαδοκιας και τους συρους εκ βοθρου
[8] ιδου οι οφθαλμοι κυριου του θεου επι την βασιλειαν των αμαρτωλων και εξαρω αυτην απο προσωπου της γης πλην οτι ουκ εις τελος εξαρω τον οικον ιακωβ λεγει κυριος
[9] διοτι ιδου εγω εντελλομαι και λικμιω εν πασι τοις εθνεσιν τον οικον του ισραηλ ον τροπον λικμαται εν τω λικμω και ου μη πεση συντριμμα επι την γην
[10] εν ρομφαια τελευτησουσι παντες αμαρτωλοι λαου μου οι λεγοντες ου μη εγγιση ουδ ου μη γενηται εφ ημας τα κακα
[11] εν τη ημερα εκεινη αναστησω την σκηνην δαυιδ την πεπτωκυιαν και ανοικοδομησω τα πεπτωκοτα αυτης και τα κατεσκαμμενα αυτης αναστησω και ανοικοδομησω αυτην καθως αι ημεραι του αιωνος
[12] οπως εκζητησωσιν οι καταλοιποι των ανθρωπων και παντα τα εθνη εφ ους επικεκληται το ονομα μου επ αυτους λεγει κυριος ο θεος ο ποιων ταυτα
[13] ιδου ημεραι ερχονται λεγει κυριος και καταλημψεται ο αλοητος τον τρυγητον και περκασει η σταφυλη εν τω σπορω και αποσταλαξει τα ορη γλυκασμον και παντες οι βουνοι συμφυτοι εσονται
[14] και επιστρεψω την αιχμαλωσιαν λαου μου ισραηλ και οικοδομησουσιν πολεις τας ηφανισμενας και κατοικησουσιν και καταφυτευσουσιν αμπελωνας και πιονται τον οινον αυτων και φυτευσουσιν κηπους και φαγονται τον καρπον αυτων
[15] και καταφυτευσω αυτους επι της γης αυτων και ου μη εκσπασθωσιν ουκετι απο της γης αυτων ης εδωκα αυτοις λεγει κυριος ο θεος ο παντοκρατωρ
