Amos 9:7
Berean Standard Bible
“Are you not like the Cushites * to Me, O children of Israel?” declares the LORD. “Did I not bring Israel up from the land of Egypt, the Philistines from Caphtor,* and the Arameans from Kir?
Context
5The Lord GOD of Hosts,
He who touches the earth and it melts,
and all its dwellers mourn—
all the land rises like the Nile,
then sinks like the river of Egypt— 6He builds His upper rooms in the heavens
and founds His vault upon the earth.
He summons the waters of the sea
and pours them over the face of the earth.
The LORD is His name. 7“Are you not like the Cushites * to Me,
O children of Israel?”
declares the LORD.
“Did I not bring Israel
up from the land of Egypt,
the Philistines from Caphtor,*
and the Arameans from Kir? 8Surely the eyes of the Lord GOD
are on the sinful kingdom,
and I will destroy it from the face of the earth.
Yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,”
declares the LORD. 9“For surely I will give the command,
and I will shake the house of Israel
among all the nations
as grain is sifted in a sieve;
but not a pebble will reach the ground.
