I saw the Lord
standing
upon the altar
: and he said
, Smite
the lintel of the door
, that the posts
may shake
: and cut
them in the head
, all of them; and I will slay
the last
of them with the sword
: he that fleeth
of them shall not flee away
, and he that escapeth
of them shall not be delivered
.
Though they dig into hell
, thence shall mine hand
take
them; though they climb up
to heaven
, thence will I bring them down
:
And though they hide themselves in the top
of Carmel
, I will search
and take them out
thence; and though they be hid
from my sight
in the bottom
of the sea
, thence will I command
the serpent
, and he shall bite
them:
And though they go into captivity
before
their enemies
, thence will I command
the sword
, and it shall slay
them: and I will set
mine eyes
upon them for evil
, and not for good
.
And the Lord GOD
of hosts
is he that toucheth
the land
, and it shall melt
, and all that dwell
therein shall mourn
: and it shall rise up
wholly like a flood
; and shall be drowned
, as by the flood
of Egypt
.
It is he that buildeth his stories
in the heaven
, and hath founded
his troop
in the earth
; he that calleth
for the waters
of the sea
, and poureth them out
upon the face
of the earth
: The LORD
is his name
.
Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians
unto me, O children
of Israel
? saith
the LORD
. Have not I brought up
Israel
out of the land
of Egypt
? and the Philistines
from Caphtor
, and the Syrians
from Kir
?
Behold, the eyes of the Lord
GOD
are upon the sinful
kingdom
, and I will destroy
it from off the face
of the earth
; saving
that I will not utterly
destroy
the house
of Jacob
, saith
the LORD
.
For, lo, I will command, and I will sift
the house
of Israel
among all nations
, like as corn is sifted
in a sieve
, yet shall not the least grain
fall
upon the earth
.
All the sinners of my people
shall die
by the sword
, which say
, The evil
shall not overtake
nor prevent
us.
In that day will I raise up
the tabernacle
of David
that is fallen
, and close up
the breaches
thereof; and I will raise up
his ruins
, and I will build
it as in the days
of old
:
That they may possess the remnant
of Edom
, and of all the heathen
, which are called
by my name
, saith
the LORD
that doeth
this.
Behold, the days come
, saith
the LORD
, that the plowman
shall overtake
the reaper
, and the treader
of grapes
him that soweth
seed
; and the mountains
shall drop
sweet wine
, and all the hills
shall melt
.
And I will bring again the captivity
of my people
of Israel
, and they shall build
the waste
cities
, and inhabit
them ; and they shall plant
vineyards
, and drink
the wine
thereof; they shall also make
gardens
, and eat
the fruit
of them.
And I will plant them upon their land
, and they shall no more be pulled up
out of their land
which I have given
them, saith
the LORD
thy God
.
