Amos 9:9-11

The Voice

⁹ Eternal One: I will give the order,
        and I will shake the nation of Israel among all the nations
    The way grain is shaken in a sieve.
        All the good kernels will fall to the ground,
    But the rocks will stay trapped in the sieve, ready for disposal.
¹⁰     I will see all of My people who do wrong,
        who say, “Nothing bad will ever happen to us.”
    I will see them all fall to the sword.

¹¹     After that happens, on the day I choose, I will rebuild
        the dilapidating house of David from its ruins,
    Mend the holes in it, rebuild its wreckage,
        and restore it just the way it used to be.
