Amos 9:5 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

5The Lord, the Lord Almighty—

he touches the earth and it melts,

and all who live in it mourn;

the whole land rises like the Nile,

then sinks like the river of Egypt;

5¶The Lord 9:5 Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord, and so throughout the chGod of armies,

The One who touches the land so that it quakes,

And all those who live in it mourn,

And all of it rises up like the Nile

And subsides like the Nile of Egypt;

5The Lord God of hosts,

The One who touches the land so that it melts,

And all those who dwell in it mourn,

And all of it rises up like the Nile

And subsides like the Nile of Egypt;

5¶The Lord God of hosts [the Omnipotent Ruler],

It is He who touches the earth [in judgment] and it melts,

And all who dwell on it mourn [in despair and fear],

And all of it rises up like the Nile

And subsides like the Nile of Egypt;

5The Lord GOD of Hosts,

He who touches the earth and it melts,

and all its dwellers mourn —

all the land rises like the Nile,

then sinks like the river of Egypt —

5The Lord rules over all.

The Lord touches the earth, and it melts.

Everyone who lives in it mourns.

The whole land rises like the Nile River.

Then it settles back down again

like that river in Egypt.
