Amos 9:9-11

International Children’s Bible

⁹ “I am giving the command
    to scatter the nation of Israel among all nations.
It will be like someone sifting flour.
    A person shakes flour through a sifter.
    The good flour falls through, but not the bad clumps.
¹⁰ Sinners among my people
    will 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 again
    and mend its broken places.
I will rebuild its ruins.
    I will rebuild it as it was before.
