I saw the Lord standing besides the altar: and he said, Smite the capitals, that the thresholds may shake: and break them in pieces over the head of all of them; and I will slay the remnant of them with the sword: not a single one of them shall flee away, and not a single one of them shall escape.

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

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

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

And the Lord God of hosts is he that touches the land, and it melts, and all that dwell therein mourn: and it rises up all of it like the River and sinks down like the River of Miżrayim.

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

Are you not as much mine as the children of the Kushiyyim, O children of Yisra᾽el? says the Lord. Have not I brought up Yisra᾽el out of the land of Miżrayim? and the Pelishtim from Kaftor, and Aram from Qir?

Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Ya῾aqov, says the Lord.

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

All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, The evil shall not overtake or meet us.

On that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and repair its breaches; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the nations, who are called by my name, says the Lord who does this.

Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, when the ploughman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

And I will bring back the captivity of my people of Yisra᾽el, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink their wine; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them, says the Lord thy God.
