Amos 9:8-10

The Voice

⁸    Look! The eyes of the Eternal Lord are fixed upon your sinful kingdom,
        and I will wipe it off the face of the earth.
    But I will not destroy Jacob’s descendants completely.

So says the Eternal.

⁹Eternal One: I will give the order,
        and I will shake the nation of Israel among all the nations
    The way grain is shaken in a sieve.
        All the good kernels will fall to the ground,
    But the rocks will stay trapped in the sieve, ready for disposal.
¹⁰    I will see all of My people who do wrong,
        who say, “Nothing bad will ever happen to us.”
    I will see them all fall to the sword.
