Amos
Amos 9:9–10
9“For surely I will give the command,
and I will shake the house of Israel
among all the nations
as grain is sifted in a sieve;
but not a pebble will reach the ground.
10All the sinners among My people
will die by the sword —
all those who say,
‘Disaster will never draw near or confront us.’”
