Amos 9:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸     Look, the Lord God is eyeing the sinful kingdom,
        and I will destroy it from the face of the earth.
    However, I won’t destroy fully the house of Jacob,
says the Lord.

⁹     Look, I am giving orders,
        and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations
    as one sifts dirt with a screen,
        but no pebble will fall to the ground.
¹⁰ All the sinners of my people will die by the sword,
        those who say,
    “Evil won’t overtake or meet us.”
