Amos 9:6 in Context — Amos 9

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.

6 Ele edificou suas câmaras no céu, e fundou seu alicerce sobre a terra; ele chama as águas do mar e as derrama sobre a terra. EU-SOU é o seu nome.

7 Vós, filhos de Israel, por acaso não sois para mim como os filhos de Etíopes? Diz o SENHOR. Por acaso eu não fiz subir a Israel desde a terra do Egito, assim como os filisteus desde Caftor, e os sírios desde Quir?

8 Eis que os olhos do Senhor DEUS estão contra este reino pecador, e eu o exterminarei da face da terra; mas não exterminarei por completo a casa de Jacó, diz o SENHOR.
