Amos 9:7-10

7“Are not you Israelites the same to me as the Cushites That is, people from the upper Nile region ?” declares the LORD . “Did I not bring Israel up from Egypt, the Philistines from Caphtor That is, Crete and the Arameans from Kir?

8“Surely the eyes of the Sovereign LORD are on the sinful kingdom. I will destroy it from the face of the earth. Yet I will not totally destroy the descendants of Jacob,” declares the LORD .

9“For I will give the command, and I will shake the people of Israel among all the nations as grain is shaken in a sieve, and not a pebble will reach the ground.

10All the sinners among my people will die by the sword, all those who say, ‘Disaster will not overtake or meet us.’
