Amos 9:10 Context
8Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are vpon the sinfull kingdome, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; sauing that I will not vtterly destroy the house of Iacob, saith the Lord. 9For loe, I will commaund, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corne is sifted in a sieue, yet shall not the least graine fall vpon the earth. 10All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say: The euill shall not ouertake nor preuent vs. 11¶ In that day will I raise vp the tabernacle of Dauid, that is fallen, and close vp the breaches thereof, and I will raise vp his ruines, and I will build it as in the dayes of old; 12That they may possesse the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen; which are called by my name, saith the Lord that doth this.
