Am 9 (King James)

   ¹ I saw the LORD standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered. ² Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down: ³ And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them: ⁴ And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good. ⁵ And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. ⁶ It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name. ⁷ Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir? ⁸ Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD. ⁹ For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth. ¹⁰ All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
   ¹¹ In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: ¹² That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this. ¹³ Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. ¹⁴ And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. ¹⁵ And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.

Am 9 (Vulgate)

   ¹ Vidi Dominum stantem super altare, et dixit : [Percute cardinem,
et commoveantur superliminaria :
avaritia enim in capite omnium,
et novissimum eorum in gladio interficiam ;
non erit fuga eis.
Fugient, et non salvabitur ex eis qui fugerit.
   ² Si descenderint usque ad infernum,
inde manus mea educet eos ;
et si ascenderint usque in cælum,
inde detraham eos.
   ³ Et si absconditi fuerint in vertice Carmeli,
inde scrutans auferam eos ;
et si celaverint se ab oculis meis in profundo maris,
ibi mandabo serpenti, et mordebit eos.
   ⁴ Et si abierint in captivitatem coram inimicis suis,
ibi mandabo gladio, et occidet eos :
et ponam oculos meos super eos in malum,
et non in bonum.
   ⁵ Et Dominus Deus exercituum, qui tangit terram, et tabescet,
et lugebunt omnes habitantes in ea :
et ascendet sicut rivus omnis,
et defluet sicut fluvius Ægypti.
   ⁶ Qui ædificat in cælo ascensionem suam,
et fasciculum suum super terram fundavit ;
qui vocat aquas maris,
et effundit eas super faciem terræ :
Dominus nomen ejus.
   ⁷ Numquid non ut filii Æthiopum
vos estis mihi, filii Israël ? ait Dominus.
Numquid non Israël ascendere feci de terra Ægypti,
et Palæstinos de Cappadocia,
et Syros de Cyrene ?]
   ⁸ [Ecce oculi Domini Dei super regnum peccans :
et conteram illud a facie terræ ;
verumtamen conterens non conteram domum Jacob,
dicit Dominus.
   ⁹ Ecce enim mandabo ego,
et concutiam in omnibus gentibus domum Israël,
sicut concutitur triticum in cribro,
et non cadet lapillus super terram.
   ¹⁰ In gladio morientur omnes peccatores populi mei,
qui dicunt : Non appropinquabit,
et non veniet super nos malum.
   ¹¹ In die illa suscitabo tabernaculum David, quod cecidit :
et reædificabo aperturas murorum ejus,
et ea quæ corruerant instaurabo :
et reædificabo illud sicut in diebus antiquis,
   ¹² ut possideant reliquias Idumææ, et omnes nationes :
eo quod invocatum sit nomen meum super eos,
dicit Dominus faciens hæc.
   ¹³ Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus,
et comprehendet arator messorem,
et calcator uvæ mittentem semen :
et stillabunt montes dulcedinem,
et omnes colli culti erunt.
   ¹⁴ Et convertam captivitatem populi mei Israël ;
et ædificabunt civitates desertas, et inhabitabunt ;
et plantabunt vineas, et bibent vinum earum,
et facient hortos, et comedent fructus eorum.
   ¹⁵ Et plantabo eos super humum suam,
et non evellam eos ultra de terra sua, quam dedi eis,
dicit Dominus Deus tuus.]
