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.’”
