Vi al Señor de pie junto al altar, y me dijo:
Golpea los capiteles y que se estremezcan los umbrales,

Entonces mataré a espada al resto de ellos;
no habrá entre ellos fugitivo que huya,
ni refugiado de ellos que escape.

Amos 9:1 - The Message

I saw my Master standing beside the altar at the shrine. He said: "Hit the tops of the shrine’s pillars,
   make the floor shake.
The roof’s about to fall on the heads of the people,
   and whoever’s still alive, I’ll kill.
No one will get away,
   no runaways will make it.
If they dig their way down into the underworld,
   I’ll find them and bring them up.
If they climb to the stars,
   I’ll find them and bring them down.
If they hide out at the top of Mount Carmel,
   I’ll find them and bring them back.
If they dive to the bottom of the ocean,
   I’ll send Dragon to swallow them up.
If they’re captured alive by their enemies,
   I’ll send Sword to kill them.
I’ve made up my mind
   to hurt them, not help them."
