Amos 9:1-5 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

1. I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said,

2. Though they dig into sheol, there shall my hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, there will I bring them down:

3. And though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, I will search and take them from there; and though they are hidden from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there will I command the serpent, and it shall bite them:

4. And though they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set my eyes upon them for harm, and not for good.

5. And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that touches the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell in it shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like the river; and shall be drowned, as by the river of Egypt.
