Amos 9:4-6
Contemporary English Version
Amos 9:4-6
Contemporary English Version
4 I'll send a sword to kill them,
wherever their enemies
drag them off as captives.
I'm determined to hurt them,
not to help them.”
His Name Is the Lord
5 When the Lord God All-Powerful
touches the earth, it melts,
and its people mourn.
God makes the earth rise
and then fall,
just like the Nile River.
6 He built his palace in the heavens
and let its foundations
rest on the earth.[a]
He scoops up the ocean
and empties it on the earth.
His name is the Lord.
Footnotes
- 9.6 He built … earth: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.
