Amos 9:2
Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:
KJV
Si descenderint usque ad infernum, inde manus mea educet eos ; et si ascenderint usque in cælum, inde detraham eos.
Vulgate
ἐὰν κατακρυβῶσιν εἰς ᾅδου, ἐκεῖθεν ἡ χείρ μου ἀνασπάσει αὐτούς· καὶ ἐὰν ἀναβῶσιν εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν, ἐκεῖθεν κατάξω αὐτούς·
LXX
Though they dig into Sheol, thence shall my hand take them; and though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down.
