Amos 9:8-10

Living Bible

⁸ “The eyes of the Lord God are watching Israel, that sinful nation, and I will root her up and scatter her across the world. Yet I have promised that this rooting out will not be permanent. ⁹ For I have commanded that Israel be sifted by the other nations as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet not one true kernel will be lost. ¹⁰ But all these sinners who say, ‘God will not touch us,’ will die by the sword.
