Amos 9:8-10

International Standard Version

⁸ Look! The eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful kingdom.
    I will destroy it from the face of the earth;
but I will not totally destroy the house of Jacob,”
    declares the Lord.
⁹ “Look! I’m giving the order:
    I will sift the house of Israel throughout all the nations,
        as one sifts with a sieve,
    yet not a single kernel will reach the ground!
¹⁰ All sinners among my people will die by the sword,
    especially all who are saying,
        ‘Disaster will not come upon or conquer us!’”
