Amos 9:3-5
Revised Standard Version
3 Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel,

4 And though they go into captivity before their enemies,
there I will command the sword, and it shall slay them;
and I will set my eyes upon them
for evil and not for good.”
5 The Lord, God of hosts,

and all who dwell in it mourn,
and all of it rises like the Nile,
and sinks again, like the Nile of Egypt;
