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

New International Version (NIV)

9“For I will give the command,

and I will shake the people of Israel

among all the nations

as grain is shaken in a sieve,

and not a pebble will reach the ground.

9“For behold, I am commanding,

And I will shake the house of Israel among all nations

As grain is shaken in a sieve,

But not a pebble will fall to the ground.

9“For behold, I am commanding,

And I will shake the house of Israel among all nations

As grain is shaken in a sieve,

But not a kernel will fall to the ground.

9“For behold, I am commanding,

And I shall shake and sift the house of Israel among all nations [and cause it to tremble]

Like grain is shaken in a sieve [removing the chaff],

But not a kernel [of the faithful remnant] shall fall to the ground and be lost [from My sight]. [Lev 26:33; Deut 28:64; Hos 9:17]

9“For surely I will give the command,

and I will shake the house of Israel

among all the nations

as grain is sifted in a sieve;

but not a pebble will reach the ground.

9“I will give an order.

I will shake the people of Israel

among all the nations.

They will be like grain that is shaken through a screen.

Not a pebble will fall to the ground.
