Amos 9:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ “I am the Lord and King.
    My eyes are watching the sinful kingdom of Israel.
I will wipe it off the face of the earth.
    But I will not totally destroy the people of Jacob,”
    announces the Lord.
⁹ “I will give an order.
    I will shake the people of Israel
    among all the nations.
They will be like grain that is shaken through a screen.
    Not a pebble will fall to the ground.
¹⁰ All the sinners among my people
    will be killed by swords.
    They say, ‘Nothing bad will ever happen to us.’
