Amos 9:1-3

New Century Version

Israel Will Be Destroyed

9 I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and he said:

“Smash the top of the pillars
    so that even the bottom of the doors will shake.
Make the pillars fall on the people’s heads;
    anyone left alive I will kill with a sword.
Not one person will get away;
    no one will escape.
²If they dig down as deep as the place of the dead,
    I will pull them up from there.
If they climb up into heaven,
    I will bring them down from there.
³If they hide at the top of Mount Carmel,
    I will find them and take them away.
If they try to hide from me at the bottom of the sea,
    I will command a snake to bite them.
