CHAP. IX.
The certainty of the desolation
of Israel: the restoring
of the tabernacle of David,
and the conversion of
the Gentiles to the church;
which shall flourish for
ever.
1 I saw the Lord standing upon
the altar, and he said:
Strike the hinges, and let the
lintels be shook: for there is
covetousness in the head of
them all, and I will slay the
last of them with the sword:
there shall be no flight for
them: they shall flee, and he
that shall flee of them shall
not be delivered.
2 Though they go down,
even to hell, thence shall my
hand bring them out: and
though they climb up to heaven,
-- --
thence will I bring them
down.
3 And though they be hid
in the top of Carmel, I will
search and take them away
from thence: and though they
hide themselves from my eyes
in the depth of the sea, there
will I command the serpent
and he shall bite them.
4 And if they go into captivity
before their enemies,
there will I command the
sword, and it shall kill them.
And I will set my eyes upon
them for evil, and not for
good.
5 And the Lord, the God
of hosts, is he who toucheth
the earth, and it shall melt:
and all that dwell therein shall
mourn: and it shall rise up
as a river, and shall run down
as the river of Egypt.
6 He that buildeth note his
ascension in heaven, and hath
founded note his bundle upon the
earth: who calleth the waters
of the sea, and poureth them
out upon the face of the
earth, the Lord is his name.
7 Are not you note as the
children of the Ethiopians unto
me, O children of Israel,
saith the Lord? Did not I
bring up Israel out of the land
of Egypt: and the Palestines
out of Cappadocia, and the
Syrians out of Cyrene?
8 Behold the eyes of the
Lord God are upon the sinful
kingdom, and I will destroy
it from the face of the earth:
but yet I will not utterly destroy
the house of Jacob, saith the
Lord:
9 For behold I will command,
and I will sift the house
of Israel among all nations,
as corn is sifted in a sieve: and
there shall not a little stone
fall to the ground.
10 All the sinners of my
people shall fall by the sword:
who say: The evils shall not
approach, and shall not come
upon us.
11 In that day I will raise
up the tabernacle of David,
that is fallen: and I will close
up the breaches of the walls
thereof, and repair what was
fallen: and I will rebuild it
as in the days of old.
12 That they may possess
the remnant of Edom, and
all nations, because my name
is invoked upon them: saith
the Lord that doth these
things.
13 Behold the days come,
saith the Lord, when the
-- --
plowman note shall overtake
the reaper, and the treader of
grapes him that soweth seed:
and the mountains shall drop
sweetness, and every hill shall
be tilled.
14 And I will bring back
the captivity of my people
Israel: and they shall build the
abandoned cities, and inhabit
them: and they shall plant
vineyards, and drink the wine
of them: and shall make gardens,
and eat the fruits of
them. And I will plant them
upon their own land: and I
will no more pluck them out
of their land, which I have
given them, saith the Lord
thy God.
