Amos 9:1-3
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
The Destruction of Israel
9 I saw the Lord standing beside[a] the altar, and he said:
“Smite the capitals until the thresholds shake,
and shatter them on the heads of all the people;[b]
and what are left of them I will slay with the sword;
not one of them shall flee away,
not one of them shall escape.
2 “Though they dig into Sheol,
from there shall my hand take them;
though they climb up to heaven,
from there I will bring them down.
3 Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel,
from there I will search out and take them;
and though they hide from my sight at the bottom of the sea,
there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them.
