\c 9
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 1 I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said, "Strike the tops of the pillars so that the foundations will shake.
|
|
\q Break them in pieces on all of their heads,
|
|
\q and I will kill the last of them with the sword.
|
|
\q Not one of them will get away,
|
|
\q not one of them will escape.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 Though they dig into Sheol,
|
|
\q there my hand will take them.
|
|
\q Though they climb up to heaven,
|
|
\q there I will bring them down.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 Though they hide on the top of Carmel,
|
|
\q there I will search and take them.
|
|
\q Though they are hidden from my sight in the bottom of the sea,
|
|
\q there will I give orders to the serpent, and it will bite them.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 Though they go into captivity, driven by their enemies before them,
|
|
\q there will I give orders to the sword, and it will kill them.
|
|
\q I will keep my eyes on them for harm and not for good."

|
|
\v 5 The Lord, Yahweh of hosts
|
|
\q touches the land and it melts;
|
|
\q all who live in it mourn;
|
|
\q all of it will rise up like the River,
|
|
\q and sink again like the river of Egypt.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 It is he who builds his steps in the heavens,
|
|
\q and has established his vault over the earth.
|
|
\q He calls for the waters of the sea,
|
|
\q and pours them out on the surface of the earth,
|
|
\q Yahweh is his name.

\v 7 "Are you not like the people of Ethiopia to me,
|
|
\q people of Israel?
|
|
\q —this is the declaration of Yahweh.
|
|
\q Did I not bring up Israel out of the land of Egypt,
|
|
\q the Philistines from Crete,
|
|
\q and the Arameans from Kir?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 Look, the eyes of the Lord Yahweh are on the sinful kingdom,
|
|
\q and I will destroy it from the face of the earth,
|
|
\q except that I will not totally destroy the house of Jacob
|
|
\q —this is the declaration of Yahweh.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 Look, I will give a command,
|
|
\q and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations,
|
|
\q as one shakes grain in a sieve,
|
|
\q so that not the smallest stone will fall to the ground.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 All the sinners of my people will die by the sword,
|
|
\q those who say, 'Disaster will not overtake or meet us.'
|
|

\s5

\b

\q
|
|
\v 11 In that day I will raise up the tent of David that has fallen,
|
|
\q and close up its breaches.
|
|
\q I will raise up its ruins,
|
|
\q and rebuild it as in the days of old,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom,
|
|
\q and all the nations that are called by my name
|
|
\q —this is the declaration of Yahweh, who does this.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 Look, the days will come—this is the declaration of Yahweh—
|
|
\q When the plowman will overtake the reaper,
|
|
\q and the treader of grapes will overtake him who plants seed.
|
|
\q The mountains will drip sweet wine,
|
|
\q and all the hills will flow with it.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 I will bring back from captivity my people Israel.
|
|
\q They will build the ruined cities and inhabit them,
|
|
\q they will plant vineyards and drink their wine,
|
|
\q and they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 I will plant them upon their land,
|
|
\q and they will never again be uprooted from the land
|
|
\q that I have given them,"
|
|
\q
|
|
says Yahweh your God.
