Amos 9:2

9:2 Even if they could dig down into the netherworld, ¹ 

my hand would pull them up from there.

Even if they could climb up to heaven,

I would drag them down from there.

[9:2]  ¹ tn Heb “into Sheol” (so ASV, NASB, NRSV), that is, the land of the dead localized in Hebrew thought in the earth’s core or the grave. Cf. KJV “hell”; NCV, NLT “the place of the dead”; NIV “the depths of the grave.”
