Amos 9:6-15

The LORD builds his upper rooms above the skies; he sets their foundations on the earth. He calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the land. The LORD is his name. The LORD says, “Israel, you are no different to me than the people of Cush. I brought Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Crete, and the Arameans from Kir. I, the Lord GOD, am watching the sinful kingdom Israel. I will destroy it from off the earth, but I will not completely destroy Jacob’s descendants,” says the LORD. “I am giving the command to scatter the nation of Israel among all nations. It will be like someone shaking grain through a strainer, but not even a tiny stone falls through. All the sinners among my people will die by the sword— those who say, ‘Nothing bad will happen to us.’ “The kingdom of David is like a fallen tent, but in that day I will set it up again and mend its broken places. I will rebuild its ruins as it was before. Then Israel will take over what is left of Edom and the other nations that belong to me,” says the LORD, who will make it happen. The LORD says, “The time is coming when there will be all kinds of food. People will still be harvesting crops when it’s time to plow again. People will still be taking the juice from grapes when it’s time to plant again. Wine will drip from the mountains and pour from the hills. 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. I will plant my people on their land, and they will not be pulled out again from the land which I have given them,” says the LORD your God.
