1 I sawH7200 the LordH136 standingH5324 beside the altar:H4196 and he said,H559 SmiteH5221 the capitals,H3730 that the thresholdsH5592 may shake;H7493 and breakH1214 them in pieces on the headH7218 of all of them; and I will slayH2026 the lastH319 of them with the sword:H2719 there shall not one of them fleeH5127 away,H5127 and there shall notH4422 one of them escape.H6412
2 Though they digH2864 into Sheol,H7585 thence shall my handH3027 takeH3947 them; and though they climb upH5927 to heaven,H8064 thence will I bring them down.H3381
3 And though they hideH2244 themselves in the topH7218 of Carmel,H3760 I will searchH2664 and take them outH3947 thence; and though they be hidH5641 from my sightH5869 in the bottomH7172 of the sea,H3220 thence will I commandH6680 the serpent,H5175 and it shall biteH5391 them.
4 And though they goH3212 into captivityH7628 beforeH6440 their enemies,H341 thence will I commandH6680 the sword,H2719 and it shall slayH2026 them: and I will setH7760 mine eyesH5869 upon them for evil,H7451 and not for good.H2896
5 For the Lord,H136 JehovahH3069 of hosts,H6635 [is] he that touchethH5060 the landH776 and it melteth,H4127 and all that dwellH3427 therein shall mourn;H56 and it shall rise upH5927 wholly like the River,H2975 and shall sinkH8257 again, like the RiverH2975 of Egypt;H4714
6 [ it is] he that buildethH1129 his chambersH4609 in the heavens,H8064 and hath foundedH3245 his vaultH92 upon the earth;H776 he that callethH7121 for the watersH4325 of the sea,H3220 and poureth them outH8210 upon the faceH6440 of the earth;H776 JehovahH3068 is his name.H8034
7 Are ye not as the childrenH1121 of the EthiopiansH3569 unto me, O childrenH1121 of Israel?H3478 saithH5002 Jehovah.H3068 Have not I brought upH5927 IsraelH3478 out of the landH776 of Egypt,H4714 and the PhilistinesH6430 from Caphtor,H3731 and the SyriansH758 from Kir?H7024
8 Behold, the eyesH5869 of the LordH136 JehovahH136 are upon the sinfulH2403 kingdom,H4467 and I will destroyH8045 it from off the faceH6440 of the earth;H127 saveH657 that I will not utterlyH8045 destroyH8045 the houseH1004 of Jacob,H3290 saithH5002 Jehovah.H3068
9 For, lo, I will command,H6680 and I will siftH5128 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 among all the nations,H1471 like as [grain] is siftedH5128 in a sieve,H3531 yet shall not the least kernelH6872 fallH5307 upon the earth.H776
10 All the sinnersH2400 of my peopleH5971 shall dieH4191 by the sword,H2719 who say,H559 The evilH7451 shall not overtakeH5066 nor meetH6923 us.
11 In that dayH3117 will I raise upH6965 the tabernacleH5521 of DavidH1732 that is fallen,H5307 and close upH1443 the breachesH6556 thereof; and I will raise upH6965 its ruins,H2034 and I will buildH1129 it as in the daysH3117 of old;H5769
12 that they may possessH3423 the remnantH7611 of Edom,H123 and all the nationsH1471 that are calledH7121 by my name,H8034 saithH5002 JehovahH3068 that doethH6213 this.
13 Behold, the daysH3117 come,H935 saithH5002 Jehovah,H3068 that the plowmanH2790 shall overtakeH5066 the reaper,H7114 and the treaderH1869 of grapesH6025 him that sowethH4900 seed;H2233 and the mountainsH2022 shall dropH5197 sweet wine,H6071 and all the hillsH1389 shall melt.H4127
14 And I will bring backH7725 the captivityH7622 of my peopleH5971 Israel,H3478 and they shall buildH1129 the wasteH8074 cities,H5892 and inhabitH3427 them; and they shall plantH5193 vineyards,H3754 and drinkH8354 the wineH3196 thereof; they shall also makeH6213 gardens,H1593 and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them.
15 And I will plantH5193 them upon their land,H127 and they shall no more be plucked upH5428 out of their landH127 which I have givenH5414 them, saithH559 JehovahH3068 thy God.H430
