Amos 9:2-4

The Destruction of Israel

2 i "If they dig into Sheol,
from there shall my hand take them;
i if they climb up to heaven,
from there I will bring them down.
3 If they hide themselves on j the top of Carmel,
from there I will search them out and take them;
k and if they hide from my sight at the bottom of the sea,
there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them.
4 l And if they go into captivity before their enemies,
there I will command the sword, and it shall kill them;
m and I will fix my eyes upon them
for evil and not for good."
