Amos 9:1-2

Revised Standard Version

The Destruction of Israel

9 I saw the Lord standing beside^[a] the altar, and he said:
“Smite the capitals until the thresholds shake,
    and shatter them on the heads of all the people;^[b]
and what are left of them I will slay with the sword;
    not one of them shall flee away,
    not one of them shall escape.

²“Though they dig into Sheol,
from there shall my hand take them;
though they climb up to heaven,
from there I will bring them down.
