Amos 9:4 in Context — Amos 9
2 S’ils pénètrent dans le séjour des morts, Ma main les en arrachera; S’ils montent aux cieux, Je les en ferai descendre.
3 S’ils se cachent au sommet du Carmel, Je les y chercherai et je les saisirai; S’ils se dérobent à mes regards dans le fond de la mer, Là j’ordonnerai au serpent de les mordre.
4 S’ils vont en captivité devant leurs ennemis, Là j’ordonnerai à l’épée de les faire périr; Je dirigerai contre eux mes regards Pour faire du mal et non du bien.
5 Le Seigneur, l’Éternel des armées, touche la terre, et elle tremble, Et tous ses habitants sont dans le deuil; Elle monte tout entière comme le fleuve, Et elle s’affaisse comme le fleuve d’Égypte.
6 Il a bâti sa demeure dans les cieux, Et fondé sa voûte sur la terre; Il appelle les eaux de la mer, Et les répand à la surface de la terre: L’Éternel est son nom.
