Chapter 9

1

I SAW Adonai standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that flees of them shall not flee away, and he that escapes of them shall not be delivered.

2

Though they dig into She'ol, thence shall my hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:

3

And though they hide themselves in the top of Karmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:

4

And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set my eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

5

And Adonai Yahuah Tseva'oth is he that touches the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Mitsrayim.

6

It is he that builds his stories in the heavens, and has founded his troop in the earth; he that calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out upon the face of the earth: Yahuah is his name.

7

Are ye not as children of the Kushiym unto me, O children of Yashar'el? says Yahuah. Have not I brought up Yashar'el out of the land of Mitsrayim? and the Pelishtiym from Kaphtor, and the Arammiym from Qiyr?

8

Behold, the eyes of Adonai Yahuah are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Ya`aqov, says Yahuah.

9

For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Yashar'el among all nations, like as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.

10

All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.

11

In that day will I raise up the Tabernacle of Daviyd that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

12

That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, says Yahuah that does this.

13

Behold, the days come, says Yahuah, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that sows seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

14

And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Yashar'el, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

15

And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, says Yahuah Elohayka.
