Amos 9:7-9

New Catholic Bible

Are you not like the Ethiopians to me,
    O people of Israel?
Did I not bring Israel up from the land of Egypt,
    and the Philistines from Caphtor,
    and the Arameans from Kir?
⁸ Behold, I, the Lord God,
    have my eyes upon this sinful kingdom,
    and I will destroy it from the face of the earth.

However, I will not completely destroy the house of Jacob,
    says the Lord.
⁹ For I will give the command
    and shake out the house of Israel
    from among all the nations,
as one sifts with a sieve
    without one pebble falling to the ground.
