Amos 9:6-8

The Voice

⁶He 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.

⁷Eternal 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?
⁸    Look! The eyes of the Eternal Lord are fixed upon your sinful kingdom,
        and I will wipe it off the face of the earth.
    But I will not destroy Jacob’s descendants completely.
