Amos 9:10-14 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

10. Sinners among my peoplewill die by the sword.All of them say,‘Nothing bad will happen to us.’

11. “The kingdom of David is like a fallen tent.But in that day I will set it up againand mend its broken places.I will rebuild its ruins.I will rebuild it as it was before.

12. Then Israel will take over what is left of Edomand the other nations that belong to me,”says the Lord.And he will make it happen.

13. The Lord says, “The time is coming when there will be plenty of food.A person will still be harvesting his cropswhen it’s time to plow again.A person will still be taking the juice from his grapeswhen it’s time to plant again.Sweet wine will drip from the mountains.And it will pour from the hills.

14. I will bring my people Israel back from captivity.They will build the ruined cities again.And they will live in them.They will plant vineyards and drink the wine from them.They will plant gardens and eat their fruit.
