Amos 9

Amos sees YHWH standing by the altar, commanding the temple's destruction and declaring inescapable judgment on Israel, as no one can flee to heaven, Sheol, Carmel, or the sea without YHWH pursuing and punishing them.[1][2][3] YHWH vows to sift Israel among the nations, destroying sinners but preserving the remnant, culminating in future restoration with abundant harvests, rebuilt cities, and eternal planting in their land.[1][2][3]
