Amos 9:1-2

New International Reader's Version

“Strike the tops of the temple pillars.
    Then the heavy stones at the base of the entrance will shake.
Bring everything down on the heads of everyone there.
    I will kill with my swords
    those who are left alive.
None of the Israelites will escape.
    None will get away.
² They might dig down deep.
    But my powerful hand will take them out of there.
They might climb up to the heavens.
    But I will bring them down from there.
