1. I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and he said, "Hit the top of the columns, and shake them to the ground. Push them and they will fall on everyone's head. As for those who survive, I will kill them with a sword. None of them will run away. None of them will escape.
|
1. I saw H7200 H853 the Lord H136 standing H5324 upon H5921 the altar H4196 : and he said H559 , Smite H5221 the lintel H3730 of the door , that the posts H5592 may shake H7493 : and cut H1214 them in the head H7218 , all H3605 of them ; and I will slay H2026 the last H319 of them with the sword H2719 : he that fleeth H5127 of them shall not H3808 flee away H5127 , and he that escapeth H6412 of them shall not H3808 be delivered H4422 .

2. If they dig deep into the ground, I will pull them from there. If they go up into the skies, I will bring them down from there.
|
2. Though H518 they dig H2864 into hell H7585 , thence H4480 H8033 shall mine hand H3027 take H3947 them; though H518 they climb up H5927 to heaven H8064 , thence H4480 H8033 will I bring them down H3381 :
|
|
3. If they hide at the top of Mount Carmel, I will find them there and take them from that place. If they try to hide from me at the bottom of the sea, I will command the snake, and it will bite them.
|
3. And though H518 they hide themselves H2244 in the top H7218 of Carmel H3760 , I will search H2664 and take H3947 them out thence H4480 H8033 ; and though H518 they be hid H5641 from H4480 H5048 my sight H5869 in the bottom H7172 of the sea H3220 , thence H4480 H8033 will I command H6680 H853 the serpent H5175 , and he shall bite H5391 them:
|
|
4. If they are captured and taken away by their enemies, I will command the sword, and it will kill them there. Yes, I will watch over them, but I will watch for ways to give them troubles, not for ways to do good things."
|
4. And though H518 they go H1980 into captivity H7628 before H6440 their enemies H341 , thence H4480 H8033 will I command H6680 H853 the sword H2719 , and it shall slay H2026 them : and I will set H7760 mine eyes H5869 upon H5921 them for evil H7451 , and not H3808 for good H2896 .
|
|
5. The Lord God All-Powerful will touch the land, and the land will melt. Then all the people who live in the land will cry for the dead. The land will rise and fall like the Nile River in Egypt.
|
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 H3605 that dwell H3427 therein shall mourn H56 : and it shall rise up H5927 wholly H3605 like a flood H2975 ; and shall be drowned H8257 , as by the flood H2975 of Egypt H4714 .
|
|
6. The Lord built his upper rooms above the skies. He put his skies over the earth. He calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out as rain on the land. Yahweh is his name.
|
6. It is he that buildeth H1129 his stories H4609 in the heaven H8064 , and hath founded H3245 his troop H92 in H5921 the earth H776 ; he that calleth H7121 for the waters H4325 of the sea H3220 , and poureth them out H8210 upon H5921 the face H6440 of the earth H776 : The LORD H3068 is his name H8034 .
|
|
7. This is what the Lord says: "Israel, you are like the Ethiopians to me. I brought Israel out of the land of Egypt, the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Arameans from Kir. "
|
7. Are ye H859 not H3808 as children H1121 of the Ethiopians H3569 unto me , O children H1121 of Israel H3478 ? saith H5002 the LORD H3068 . Have not H3808 I brought up H5927 H853 Israel H3478 out of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 ? and the Philistines H6430 from Caphtor H4480 H3731 , and the Syrians H758 from Kir H4480 H7024 ?
|
|
8. The Lord God is watching this sinful kingdom. He said, "I will wipe Israel off the face of the earth, but I will never completely destroy Jacob's family.
|
8. Behold H2009 , the eyes H5869 of the Lord H136 GOD H3069 are upon the sinful H2400 kingdom H4467 , and I will destroy H8045 it from off H4480 H5921 the face H6440 of the earth H127 ; saving H657 that H3588 I will not H3808 utterly destroy H8045 H8045 H853 the house H1004 of Jacob H3290 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
9. I am giving the command to scatter the people of Israel among all nations. But it will be like someone sifting flour. A person shakes flour through a sifter. The good flour falls through, but the bad lumps are caught.
|
9. For H3588 , lo H2009 , I H595 will command H6680 , and I will sift H5128 H853 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 among all H3605 nations H1471 , like as H834 corn is sifted H5128 in a sieve H3531 , yet shall not H3808 the least grain H6872 fall H5307 upon the earth H776 .
|
|
10. "Sinners among my people say, 'Nothing bad will happen to us.' But all of them will be killed with swords."
|
10. All H3605 the sinners H2400 of my people H5971 shall die H4191 by the sword H2719 , which say H559 , The evil H7451 shall not H3808 overtake H5066 nor prevent H6923 H1157 us.

|
11. "David's tent has fallen, but at that time I will set it up again. I will fix its holes and repair its ruined parts. I will set it up as it was before.
|
11. In that H1931 day H3117 will I raise up H6965 H853 the tabernacle H5521 of David H1732 that is fallen H5307 , and close up H1443 H853 the breaches H6556 thereof ; and I will raise up H6965 his ruins H2034 , and I will build H1129 it as in the days H3117 of old H5769 :
|
|
12. Then the people left alive in Edom, and all the people called by my name, will look to me for help." This is what the Lord said, and he will make it happen.
|
12. That H4616 they may possess H3423 H853 the remnant H7611 of Edom H123 , and of all H3605 the heathen H1471 , which H834 are called by H7121 H5921 my name H8034 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 that doeth H6213 this H2063 .
|
|
13. The Lord says, "A time of great blessing is coming. Workers will still be harvesting when it is time to plow the fields again. They will still be trampling the grapes when it is time for a new crop. Sweet wine will drip from the mountains and pour from the hills.
|
13. Behold H2009 , 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 H3605 the hills H1389 shall melt H4127 .
|
|
14. I will bring my people, Israel, back from captivity. They will rebuild the ruined cities, and they will live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink the wine they produce. They will plant gardens and eat the crops they produce.
|
14. And I will bring again H7725 H853 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 H853 the wine H3196 thereof ; they shall also make H6213 gardens H1593 , and eat H398 H853 the fruit H6529 of them.
|
|
15. I will plant my people on their land, and never again will they be pulled up out of the land that I gave them." This is what the Lord your God said.
|
15. And I will plant H5193 them upon H5921 their land H127 , and they shall no H3808 more H5750 be pulled up H5428 out of H4480 H5921 their land H127 which H834 I have given H5414 them, saith H559 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 .
