“All the sinners among My people will die by the sword — all those who say, ‘Disaster will never draw near or confront us.’”
Amos 9:10 (BSB)
Context Reading
8Surely the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth. Yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” declares the LORD. 9“For surely I will give the command, and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations as grain is sifted in a sieve; but not a pebble will reach the ground. 10All the sinners among My people will die by the sword — all those who say, ‘Disaster will never draw near or confront us.’” 11“In that day I will restore the fallen tent of David. I will repair its gaps, restore its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old, 12that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations that bear My name,” declares the LORD, who will do this.
