Amos 9:1-4

Amos 9:1-4

[1] I saw  the Lord  standing  upon the altar:  and he said,  Smite  the lintel of the door,  that the posts  may shake:  and cut  them in the head,  all of them; and I will slay  the last  of them with the sword:  he that fleeth  and he that escapeth  of them shall not be delivered.  [2] Though they dig  into hell,  thence shall mine hand  take  them; though they climb up  to heaven,  thence will I bring them down:  [3] And though they hide  themselves in the top  of Carmel,  I will search  and take them out  thence; and though they be hid  from my sight  in the bottom  of the sea,  thence will I command  the serpent,  and he shall bite  [4] into captivity  before  their enemies,  thence will I command  the sword,  and it shall slay  them: and I will set  mine eyes  upon them for evil,  and not for good.
