Amos 9:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ Should they hide themselves on the summit of Carmel,
    there I will track them down and take them.
Should they hide from my sight at the bottom of the sea,
    I will command the serpent there to bite them.
⁴ If they are led by their enemies into captivity,
    there I shall command the sword to slay them.
I will fix my eyes on them
    for evil, and not for good.

⁵ The Lord, the God of hosts,
    touches the earth and it melts
    so that all who live on it mourn,
while the entire earth rises up like the Nile^[a]
    and then subsides like the River of Egypt.
