Amos 9:5-7

The Voice

⁵ The Eternal Lord, Commander of heavenly armies—
    He touches the earth and it cracks and crumbles,
    and everyone upon it cries with grief.
He touches the land and it rises and falls,
    falls and rises like the Nile in Egypt.
⁶ He builds His upper chambers in the heavens
    and founds His storeroom^[a] on the earth.
He calls up the waters of the sea
    and pours them out across the land—
Eternal One is His name.

⁷ Eternal One: To Me, aren’t you like the people of Ethiopia,
        overwhelmed by the powers around you,
    You people of Israel?
        Didn’t I bring the people of Israel from the land of Egypt,
    And the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Arameans from Kir?
