NET Bible
"Even if they could dig down into the netherworld, my hand would pull them up from there. Even if they could climb up to heaven, I would drag them down from there."
— Amos 9:2, NET Bible
“Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:”
“Though they dig into Sheol, thence shall my hand take them; and though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down. ”
“Though they dig into Sheol, there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down.”
“Though they go down even to hell, thence shall my hand bring them out: and though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down.”
“Even if they go deep into the underworld, my hand will take them up from there; if they go up to heaven, I will get them down:”
“Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:”
I saw the Lord standing by the altar and he said,“Strike the tops of the support pillars, so the thresholds shake! Knock them down on the heads of all the people, and I will kill the survivors with the sword. No one will be able to run away; no one will be able to escape.
Even if they could dig down into the netherworld, my hand would pull them up from there. Even if they could climb up to heaven, I would drag them down from there.
Even if they were to hide on the top of Mount Carmel, I would hunt them down and take them from there. Even if they tried to hide from me at the bottom of the sea, from there I would command the Sea Serpent to bite them.
Even when their enemies drive them into captivity, from there I will command the sword to kill them. I will not let them out of my sight; they will experience disaster, not prosperity.”
The Sovereign LORD of Heaven’s Armies will do this. He touches the earth and it dissolves; all who live on it mourn. The whole earth rises like the River Nile, and then grows calm like the Nile in Egypt.
