1
I saw[H7200] the Lord[H136]standing[H5324] upon the altar[H4196]: and he said[H559], Smite[H5221] the lintel of the door[H3730], that the posts[H5592] may shake[H7493]: and cut[H1214] them in the head[H7218], all of them; and I will slay[H2026] the last[H319] of them with the sword[H2719]: he that fleeth[H5127] of them shall not flee away[H5127], and he that escapeth[H6412] of them shall not be delivered[H4422].
2
Though they dig[H2864] into hell[H7585], thence shall mine hand[H3027]take[H3947] them; though they climb up[H5927] to heaven[H8064], thence will I bring them down[H3381]:
3
And though they hide[H2244] themselves in the top[H7218] of Carmel[H3760], I will search[H2664] and take them out[H3947] thence; and though they be hid[H5641] from my sight[H5869] in the bottom[H7172] of the sea[H3220], thence will I command[H6680] the serpent[H5175], and he shall bite[H5391] them:
4
And though they go[H3212] into captivity[H7628]before[H6440] their enemies[H341], thence will I command[H6680] the sword[H2719], and it shall slay[H2026] them: and I will set[H7760] mine eyes[H5869] upon them for evil[H7451], and not for good[H2896].
5
And the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069] of hosts[H6635] is he that toucheth[H5060] the land[H776], and it shall melt[H4127], and all that dwell[H3427] therein shall mourn[H56]: and it shall rise up[H5927] wholly like a flood[H2975]; and shall be drowned[H8257], as by the flood[H2975] of Egypt[H4714].
6
It is he that buildeth[H1129] his stories[H4609] in the heaven[H8064], and hath founded[H3245] his troop[H92] in the earth[H776]; he that calleth[H7121] for the waters[H4325] of the sea[H3220], and poureth them out[H8210] upon the face[H6440] of the earth[H776]: The LORD[H3068] is his name[H8034].
7
Are ye not as children[H1121] of the Ethiopians[H3569] unto me, O children[H1121] of Israel?[H3478]saith[H5002] the LORD[H3068]. Have not I brought up[H5927]Israel[H3478] out of the land[H776] of Egypt?[H4714] and the Philistines[H6430] from Caphtor[H3731], and the Syrians[H758] from Kir?[H7024]
8
Behold, the eyes[H5869] of the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069] are upon the sinful[H2403]kingdom[H4467], and I will destroy[H8045] it from off the face[H6440] of the earth[H127]; saving[H657] that I will not utterly[H8045]destroy[H8045] the house[H1004] of Jacob[H3290], saith[H5002] the LORD[H3068].
9
For, lo, I will command[H6680], and I will sift[H5128] the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478] among all nations[H1471], like as corn is sifted[H5128] in a sieve[H3531], yet shall not the least grain[H6872]fall[H5307] upon the earth[H776].
10
All the sinners[H2400] of my people[H5971] shall die[H4191] by the sword[H2719], which say[H559], The evil[H7451] shall not overtake[H5066] nor prevent[H6923] us.
11
In that day[H3117] will I raise up[H6965] the tabernacle[H5521] of David[H1732] that is fallen[H5307], and close up[H1443] the breaches[H6556] thereof; and I will raise up[H1443] his ruins[H2034], and I will build[H1129] it as in the days[H3117] of old[H5769]:
12
That they may possess[H3423] the remnant[H7611] of Edom[H123], and of all the heathen[H1471], which are called[H7121] by my name[H8034], saith[H5002] the LORD[H3068] that doeth[H6213] this.
13
Behold, the days[H3117]come[H935], saith[H5002] the LORD[H3068], that the plowman[H2790] shall overtake[H5066] the reaper[H7114], and the treader[H1869] of grapes[H6025] him that soweth[H4900]seed[H2233]; and the mountains[H2022] shall drop[H5197] sweet wine[H6071], and all the hills[H1389] shall melt[H4127].
14
And I will bring again[H7725] the captivity[H7622] of my people[H5971] of Israel[H3478], and they shall build[H1129] the waste[H8074]cities[H5892], and inhabit[H3427] them; and they shall plant[H5193]vineyards[H3754], and drink[H8354] the wine[H3196] thereof; they shall also make[H6213]gardens[H1593], and eat[H398] the fruit[H6529] of them.
15
And I will plant[H5193] them upon their land[H127], and they shall no more be pulled up[H5428] out of their land[H127] which I have given[H5414] them, saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430].
