Amos 9:9–15

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.’”

¹¹“In that day I will restore

the fallen tent of David.

I will repair its gaps, restore its ruins,

and rebuild it as in the days of old,

¹²that they may possess the remnant of Edom

and all the nations that bear My name,”^d

declares the LORD, who will do this.

¹³“Behold, the days are coming,”

declares the LORD,

“when the plowman will overtake the reaper

and the treader of grapes, the sower of seed.

The mountains will drip with sweet wine,

with which all the hills will flow.

¹⁴I will restore My people Israel from captivity;^e

they will rebuild and inhabit the ruined cities.

They will plant vineyards and drink their wine;

they will make gardens and eat their fruit.

¹⁵I will firmly plant them in their own land,

never again to be uprooted

from the land that I have given them,”

says the LORD your God.
