Amos 9:5-7

New International Version - UK

⁵ The Lord, the Lord Almighty –
he touches the earth and it melts,
    and all who live in it mourn;
the whole land rises like the Nile,
    then sinks like the river of Egypt;
⁶ he builds his lofty palace^[a] in the heavens
    and sets its foundation^[b] on the earth;
he calls for the waters of the sea
    and pours them out over the face of the land –
    the Lord is his name.

⁷ ‘Are not you Israelites
    the same to me as the Cushites?’^[c]
declares the Lord.
‘Did I not bring Israel up from Egypt,
    the Philistines from Caphtor^[d]
    and the Arameans from Kir?
