Amos 9:5-7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 The Lord, the God of Hosts—
He touches the earth;(A)
it melts, and all who dwell in it mourn;
all of it rises like the Nile
and subsides like the Nile of Egypt.(B)
6 He builds His upper chambers
in the heavens(C)
and lays the foundation of His vault
on the earth.(D)
He summons the waters of the sea
and pours them out on the face of the earth.(E)
Yahweh is His name.(F)
Announcement of Judgment
7 Israelites, are you not like the Cushites to Me?(G)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
Didn’t I bring Israel from the land of Egypt,
the Philistines from Caphtor,[a](H)
and the Arameans from Kir?(I)
