Amos 9:5-7

Modern English Version

⁵ The Lord God of Hosts,
    He who touches the earth and it melts,
    and all who live on it mourn;
it all rises up like the Nile,
    and subsides like the river of Egypt;
⁶ who builds His chambers in the heavens,
    and founds His vault over the earth;
who summons the waters of the sea,
    and pours them out upon the surface of the earth—
    the Lord is His name.

⁷ Are you not like the Ethiopians to Me,
    O children of Israel?
    says the Lord.
Did I not bring Israel up from the land of Egypt,
    but also the Philistines from Caphtor,
    and the Arameans from Kir?
