Amos 9:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

9 I saw the Lord standing upon the altar, and he said: Strike the hinges, and let the lintels be shook: for there is covetousness in the head of them all, and I will slay the last of them with the sword: there shall be no flight for them: they shall flee, and he that shall flee of them shall not be delivered.

² Though they go down even to hell, thence shall my hand bring them out: and though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down.

³ And though they be hid in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them away from thence: and though they hide themselves from my eyes in the depth of the sea, there will I command the serpent and he shall bite them.
