Amos 9:2-4

Contemporary English Version

² “If they dig deep into the earth
or climb to the sky,
    I'll reach out and get them.
³ If they escape to the peaks
of Mount Carmel,
    I'll search and find them.
And if they hide from me
    at the bottom of the ocean,
I'll command a sea monster
    to bite them.
⁴ I'll send a sword to kill them,
wherever their enemies
    drag them off as captives.
I'm determined to hurt them,
    not to help them.”
