Amos 9:6 in Context — Amos 9
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.
7 N’êtes-vous pas pour moi comme les enfants des Éthiopiens, Enfants d’Israël? Dit l’Éternel. N’ai-je pas fait sortir Israël du pays d’Égypte, Comme les Philistins de Caphtor et les Syriens de Kir?
8 Voici, le Seigneur, l’Éternel, a les yeux sur le royaume coupable. Je le détruirai de dessus la face de la terre; Toutefois je ne détruirai pas entièrement la maison de Jacob, Dit l’Éternel.
