Amos 9:5-6

Amos 9:5-6

[5] And the Lord  GOD  of hosts  is he that toucheth  the land,  and it shall melt,  and all that dwell  therein shall mourn:  and it shall rise up  wholly like a flood;  and shall be drowned,  as by the flood  of Egypt.  [6] It is he that buildeth  his stories  in the heaven,  and hath founded  his troop  in the earth;  he that calleth  for the waters  of the sea,  and poureth them out  upon the face  of the earth:  The LORD  is his name.
