- Kapitel 9 -

1
Yahweh showed me another vision. In the vision, I saw him standing next to the altar. He said, “Strike the tops of the pillars of the temple, until they become loose and fall down, so that the foundation will shake. Then cause the pieces of the temple to fall down on the people who are inside. I will kill with a sword anyone who tries to flee; no one will escape.
2
If they dig deep pits in the ground, even all the way to the place of the dead, or if they try to climb up to the sky in order to escape, I will reach out and grab them.
3
If they go to the top of Mount Carmel to escape, I will search for them and seize them. If they try to hide from me at the bottom of the sea, I will command the huge sea monster to bite them.
4
If their enemies capture them and force them to go to other countries, I will command that they be killed there with swords. I am determined to get rid of them, not to help them.”
5
When Yahweh, Commander of the angel armies, touches the earth, it melts, and all over the earth many people die, and the others mourn for them. It is as though Yahweh causes the earth repeatedly to rise and fall like water in the Nile River rises and falls.
6
He builds his beautiful palace in heaven and sets the sky to be like a dome over the earth. He scoops up the water from the ocean and puts it into clouds, and then empties the clouds onto the earth. His name is Yahweh.
7
Yahweh says, “You people of Israel, you are certainly now no more important to me than the people of Ethiopia. I brought your ancestors here from Egypt, but I also brought the people of Philistia from the Island of Crete, and I brought the people of Aram from the region of Kir.
8
I, Yahweh the Lord, have seen that you people in the kingdom of Israel are very sinful, so I will destroy you. But I will not get rid of all you descendants of Jacob. That is what will surely happen because I, Yahweh, have said it.
9
When I command it, it will be as though I will shake you Israelite people who are living in various nations, as a farmer shakes a sieve to separate the stone pebbles from the grain in order that they do not fall on the ground with the grain.
10
From among my people, all you sinful people who say, ‘We will not experience disasters; nothing evil will happen to us,’ your enemies will kill you with their swords.”

A Promise of Restoration

(Acts 15:5–21)
11
“The kingdom over which King David ruled has been destroyed, like a house that collapsed and then became ruins. But some day I will cause it to be a kingdom again. I will cause it to prosper again just like it did previously.
12
When that happens, your armies will seize the remaining part of the region of Edom, and they will also seize the other nations that previously belonged to me. I, Yahweh, have said that I will do these things, and I will certainly cause them to happen.
13
There will be a time when your crops will grow very well; very soon after the crops are harvested, farmers will plow the ground to plant more crops in it again, and soon after the vineyards are planted, farmers will harvest grapes and tread on them to make wine. And because there will be very much wine, it will seem as though wine is flowing down from the hills.
14
I will cause you, my Israelite people, to prosper again. You will rebuild your towns and live in them. You will plant vineyards and drink the wine made from the grapes that grows in them.
15
I will enable you to live in your land again, the land that I gave to your ancestors; never again will you be forced to leave it. That is what will surely happen because I, Yahweh, have said it.”
1
I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said, “Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake. Break them in pieces on the head of all of them. I will kill the last of them with the sword. Not one of them will flee away. Not one of them will escape.
2
Though they dig into Sheol,(a) there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down.
3
Though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out from there; and though they be hidden from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them.
4
Though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. I will set my eyes on them for evil, and not for good.
5
For the Lord, the LORD of Armies, is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn; and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink again, like the River of Egypt.
6
It is he who builds his rooms in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earththe LORD is his name.
7
Are you not like the children of the Ethiopians to me, children of Israel?” says the LORD. “Haven’t I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
8
Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the earth, except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” says the LORD.
9
For behold, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet not the least kernel will fall on the earth.
10
All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, ‘Evil won’t overtake nor meet us.’

A Promise of Restoration

(Acts 15:5–21)
11
In that day I will raise up the tent of David who is fallen and close up its breaches, and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old,
12
that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations who are called by my name,” says the LORD who does this.
13
Behold, the days come,” says the LORD,that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills.
14
I will bring my people Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, and eat their fruit.
15
I will plant them on their land, and they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them,” says the LORD your God.
