Amos 9:5 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Amos 9:4      Amos 9:6

Amos 9:5

For the Lord (Adonai), Lord of Hosts (Yahweh Tzevaot),
touches the land and it melts [cannot resist him] and all who dwell there mourn,
and it swells up like the Nile (which floods all its banks)
and sinks back again like the river of Egypt (the Nile).
[The word for melt signifies a change that cannot be resisted. People tremble with fear and cannot do anything about the situation. Cf. the order of God's name with Amos 3:13; 4:13; 5:14–15, 27; 6:8, 14 (where YHWH comes first). The fact that the title begins with Adonai here may be a way of emphasizing how God is more visibly active on earth. When YHWH is used, it is more often his invisible attributes that are described.]
