New Testament

Amos 9:2-7 God's Word Translation (GW)

2. Even if they dig their way into Sheol,my hand will take them from there.Even if they go up to heaven,I will bring them down from there.

3. Even if they hide on top of Mount Carmel,I will look for them and take them from there.Even if they hide from me at the bottom of the sea,I will command a sea snake to bite them.

4. Even if they go into exile ahead of their enemies,I will command a sword to kill them.I will keep my eyes on themso that I can bring disaster on them and not help them.

5. The Almighty Lord of Armies touches the earth.It quakes, and all who live on it mourn.All of it rises like the Nileand sinks like Egypt’s river.

6. The one who builds stairs up to heavenand sets their foundation on the earth,the one who calls for the water in the seaand pours it over the face of the earth—His name is the Lord.

7. You people of Israel are like the people from Sudan, says the Lord.Didn’t I bring Israel from Egypt?Didn’t I bring the Philistines from Crete and the Arameans from Kir?
