Amos 9:9: Still the prophetic curse takes place

Religion

Still the prophetic curse takes place:
We see the once-peculiar race
Like sifted chaff dispersed and driven
Through every nation under heaven!
But lo, we now the promise plead
For every Israelite indeed:
And when the nation owns Thy call.
Thy mercy, Lord, shall save them all.
