Amos

Speaks against injustice and predicts Israel's punishment but ends with hope for restoration.

Chapter 9

KJV - Amos 9:1

I saw the LORD standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.

I saw God standing on the altar and he said to break the top of the door so the supports shake and cut off their heads. I will kill the rest with a sword. None of them can escape or be saved.
