阿摩司书 9

1 见主站在祭坛旁边;他:你要击打柱顶,使门槛震动,打碎柱顶,落在众人上;所剩下的人,我必用刀杀戮,无一人能逃避,无一人能逃脱。

2 他们虽然挖透阴间,我的必取出他们来;虽然爬上去,我必拿他们来;

3 虽然藏在迦密山顶,我必搜寻,捉出他们来;虽然从我眼前藏在底,我必命咬他们;

4 虽被仇敌掳去,我必命刀杀戮他们;我必向他们定住眼目,降祸不降福。

5 ─万军之耶和华就消化,凡上的都必悲哀。必全然像尼罗河涨起,如同埃及河落下。

6 那在建造楼阁、在上安定穹苍、命水浇在上的─耶和华是他的名。

7 耶和华以色列人哪,我岂不看你们如古实人吗?我岂不是领以色列人埃及,领非利士人出迦斐托,领亚兰人出吉珥吗?

8 耶和华的眼目察看这有罪的国,必将这国从地上灭绝,却不将雅各家灭绝净尽。这是耶和华的。

9 我必出令,将以色列家分散在列国中,好像用筛子筛谷,连一粒也不落在上。

10 我民中的一切罪人:灾祸必追不上我们,也迎不着我们。他们必在刀下。

11 到那日,我必建立大卫倒塌的帐幕,堵住其中的破口,把那破坏的建立起来,重新修造,像古时一样,

12 使以色列人得以东所馀剩的和所有称为我名下的国。此乃行这事的耶和华的。

13 耶和华:日子将到,耕种的必接续收割的;踹葡萄的必接续撒种的;大要滴下甜酒;小都必流奶(原文是消化,见约珥三章十八节)。

14 我必使我民以色列被掳的归回;他们必重修荒废的城邑居住,栽种葡萄园其中所出的酒,修造果木园,其中的果子。

15 我要将他们栽於本地,他们不再从我所赐他们的地上拔出来。这是耶和华─你的的。
