Amos 9:6-8
The Voice
6 He builds His upper chambers in the heavens
and founds His storeroom[a] on the earth.
He calls up the waters of the sea
and pours them out across the land—
Eternal One is His name.
7 Eternal One: To Me, aren’t you like the people of Ethiopia,
overwhelmed by the powers around you,
You people of Israel?
Didn’t I bring the people of Israel from the land of Egypt,
And the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Arameans from Kir?
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.
