Amos 9:3 in Context — Amos 9

1 Vi o Senhor que estava sobre o altar, e disse: Fere o topo das colunas, para que se estremeçam os umbrais; despedaça-os sobre as cabeça de todos; e os últimos deles matarei à espada; não haverá entre eles que fuja, nem quem se livre.

2 Ainda que cavassem até o Xeol, dali minha mão os tirará; e se subissem até o céu, dali os farei descer.

3 E se se escondessem no topo do Carmelo, ali eu os buscaria e os tomaria; e ainda que se escondessem de diante de meus olhos no fundo do mar, até ali mandia uma serpente para os morder.

4 E se forem levados em cativeiro diante de seus inimigos, ali mandarei a espada que os matará; e porei meus olhos sobre eles para o mal, e não para o bem.

5 Pois o Senhor DEUS dos exércitos é o que toca a terra, e ela se derrete, e choram todos os que nela moram; ela toda subirá como um rio, e se afundará como o rio do Egito.
