← Amos
1 I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said,
- A. 1 Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them;
- B. 1 and I will slay the last of them with the sword:
- C. 1 he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.
- D. 2 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them;
- E. 2 though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:
- E'. 3 And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence;
- D'. 3 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:
- C'. 4 And though they go into captivity before their enemies,
- B'. 4 thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them:
- A'. 4 and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
