1. I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and He said, "Break the tops of the pillars so that the bases shake! Break them to pieces on the heads of all the people! Then I will kill the rest of them with the sword. Not one of them will get away.
|
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. Even if they dig into the place of the dead, My hand will take them from there. Even if they go up to heaven, 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. Even if they hide on the top of Mount Carmel, I will find them and take them from there. Even if they hide themselves from My eyes on the bottom of the sea, there I will tell the large sea-snake to 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. Even if they are taken away to a strange land by those who hate them, there I will have the sword kill them. I will set My eyes against them to hurt them, and not to bring good to them."
|
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 of All is the One Who touches the land and it melts. All those who live in it are filled with sorrow. All of it rises and falls like the Nile River of 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 builds His upper rooms in the heavens and sets His sky over the earth. He calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the earth. The Lord 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. "Are you not like the Ethiopians to Me, you people of Israel?" says the Lord. "Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians 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. See, the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful nation, and I will destroy it from the earth. But I will not destroy all the people of Jacob," says the Lord.
|
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 will say what must be done. I will shake the people of Jacob among all the nations, as grain is shaken on a fine net. But not the smallest seed will fall to the ground.
|
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. All the sinners among My people who say, 'The trouble will not catch up to us or come to us,' will die by the sword.
|
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. "In that day I will build again the tent of David that fell down. Yes, I will build it again from the stones that fell down. I will set it up again as it used to be.
|
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. And so the people of Israel will own what is left of the land of Edom and all the nations that are called by My name," says the Lord who does this.
|
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 days are coming," says the Lord, "when the man who plows will catch up with the man who gathers. The man who crushes the grapes will catch up with the man who plants the seed. The mountains will drip sweet wine, and all the hills will flow with it.
|
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. And I will return My people Israel to their riches. They will build again the cities that have been destroyed, and live in them. They will plant grape-fields and drink their wine. And they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
|
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 they will never again be pulled up from the land I gave them," says the Lord your God.
|
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 .
