Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Amos 9
¹³ "Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord, "When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; The mountains shall drip with sweet wine, And all the hills shall flow with it.
¹⁴ I will bring back the captives of My people Israel; They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them; They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them.
¹⁵ I will plant them in their land, And no longer shall they be pulled up From the land I have given them," Says the Lord your God.
Obadiah 1
¹ The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord God concerning Edom (We have heard a report from the Lord, And a messenger has been sent among the nations, saying, "Arise, and let us rise up against her for battle"):
² "Behold, I will make you small among the nations; You shall be greatly despised.
³ The pride of your heart has deceived you, You who dwell in the clefts of the rock, Whose habitation is high; You who say in your heart, ’Who will bring me down to the ground?’
⁴ Though you ascend as high as the eagle, And though you set your nest among the stars, From there I will bring you down," says the Lord.
⁵ "If thieves had come to you, If robbers by night-- Oh, how you will be cut off!-- Would they not have stolen till they had enough? If grape-gatherers had come to you, Would they not have left some gleanings?
⁶ "Oh, how Esau shall be searched out! How his hidden treasures shall be sought after!
⁷ All the men in your confederacy Shall force you to the border; The men at peace with you Shall deceive you and prevail against you. Those who eat your bread shall lay a trap for you. No one is aware of it.
⁸ "Will I not in that day," says the Lord, "Even destroy the wise men from Edom, And understanding from the mountains of Esau?
