Amos 9:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ The Lord God ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts] touches the land,
    and the land ·shakes [dissolves; melts].
    Then everyone who lives in the land ·cries for the dead [mourns].
The whole ·land [or earth] rises like the Nile River
    and ·falls [sinks; subsides] like the river of Egypt [8:8].
⁶ The Lord builds his ·upper rooms [or steps] ·above the skies [in the heavens];
    he sets their foundations on the earth.
He calls for the waters of the sea
    and pours them out on the ·land [^Lface of the earth/land; ^Cas rain].
    The Lord is his name.
⁷ The Lord says,
“Israel, you are no different to me than the people of Cush [^CEthiopia].
·I brought [^LDid I not bring…?] Israel out of the land of Egypt,
    and the Philistines from ·Crete [^LCaphtor],
    and the Arameans [^CSyrians] from Kir.
