9:1 | I saw <07200> (8804) the Lord <0136> standing <05324> (8737) upon the altar <04196>: and he said <0559> (8799), Smite <05221> (8685) the lintel of the door <03730>, that the posts <05592> may shake <07493> (8799): and cut <01214> (8798) them in the head <07218>, all of them; and I will slay <02026> (8799) the last <0319> of them with the sword <02719>: he that fleeth <05127> (8801) of them shall not flee away <05127> (8799), and he that escapeth <06412> of them shall not be delivered <04422> (8735). {lintel: or, chapiter, or, knop} {cut...: or, wound them} |
9:2 | Though they dig <02864> (8799) into hell <07585>, thence shall mine hand <03027> take <03947> (8799) them; though they climb up <05927> (8799) to heaven <08064>, thence will I bring them down <03381> (8686): |
9:3 | And though they hide <02244> (8735) themselves in the top <07218> of Carmel <03760>, I will search <02664> (8762) and take them out <03947> (8804) thence; and though they be hid <05641> (8735) from my sight <05869> in the bottom <07172> of the sea <03220>, thence will I command <06680> (8762) the serpent <05175>, and he shall bite <05391> (8804) them: |
9:4 | And though they go <03212> (8799) into captivity <07628> before <06440> their enemies <0341> (8802), thence will I command <06680> (8762) the sword <02719>, and it shall slay <02026> (8804) them: and I will set <07760> (8804) mine eyes <05869> upon them for evil <07451>, and not for good <02896>. |
9:5 | And the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of hosts <06635> [is] he that toucheth <05060> (8802) the land <0776>, and it shall melt <04127> (8799), and all that dwell <03427> (8802) therein shall mourn <056> (8804): and it shall rise up <05927> (8804) wholly like a flood <02975>; and shall be drowned <08257> (8804), as [by] the flood <02975> of Egypt <04714>. |
9:6 | [It is] he that buildeth <01129> (8802) his stories <04609> in the heaven <08064>, and hath founded <03245> (8804) his troop <092> in the earth <0776>; he that calleth <07121> (8802) for the waters <04325> of the sea <03220>, and poureth them out <08210> (8799) upon the face <06440> of the earth <0776>: The LORD <03068> [is] his name <08034>. {stories: or, spheres: Heb. ascensions} {troop: or, bundle} |
9:7 | [Are] ye not as children <01121> of the Ethiopians <03569> unto me, O children <01121> of Israel <03478>? saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>. Have not I brought up <05927> (8689) Israel <03478> out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>? and the Philistines <06430> from Caphtor <03731>, and the Syrians <0758> from Kir <07024>? |
9:8 | Behold, the eyes <05869> of the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> [are] upon the sinful <02403> kingdom <04467>, and I will destroy <08045> (8689) it from off the face <06440> of the earth <0127>; saving <0657> that I will not utterly <08045> (8687) destroy <08045> (8686) the house <01004> of Jacob <03290>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>. |
9:9 | For, lo, I will command <06680> (8764), and I will sift <05128> (8689) the house <01004> of Israel <03478> among all nations <01471>, like as [corn] is sifted <05128> (8735) in a sieve <03531>, yet shall not the least grain <06872> fall <05307> (8799) upon the earth <0776>. {sift: Heb. cause to move} {grain: Heb. stone} |
9:10 | All the sinners <02400> of my people <05971> shall die <04191> (8799) by the sword <02719>, which say <0559> (8802), The evil <07451> shall not overtake <05066> (8686) nor prevent <06923> (8686) us. |
9:11 | In that day <03117> will I raise up <06965> (8686) the tabernacle <05521> of David <01732> that is fallen <05307> (8802), and close up <01443> (8804) the breaches <06556> thereof; and I will raise up <06965> (8686) his ruins <02034>, and I will build <01129> (8804) it as in the days <03117> of old <05769>: {close: Heb. hedge, or, wall} |
9:12 | That they may possess <03423> (8799) the remnant <07611> of Edom <0123>, and of all the heathen <01471>, which are called <07121> (8738) by my name <08034>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> that doeth <06213> (8802) this. {which...: Heb. upon whom my name is called} |
9:13 | Behold, the days <03117> come <0935> (8802), saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, that the plowman <02790> (8802) shall overtake <05066> (8738) the reaper <07114> (8802), and the treader <01869> (8802) of grapes <06025> him that soweth <04900> (8802) seed <02233>; and the mountains <02022> shall drop <05197> (8689) sweet wine <06071>, and all the hills <01389> shall melt <04127> (8709). {soweth: Heb. draweth forth} {sweet: or, new} |
9:14 | And I will bring again <07725> (8804) the captivity <07622> of my people <05971> of Israel <03478>, and they shall build <01129> (8804) the waste <08074> (8737) cities <05892>, and inhabit <03427> (8804) [them]; and they shall plant <05193> (8804) vineyards <03754>, and drink <08354> (8804) the wine <03196> thereof; they shall also make <06213> (8804) gardens <01593>, and eat <0398> (8804) the fruit <06529> of them. |
9:15 | And I will plant <05193> (8804) them upon their land <0127>, and they shall no more be pulled up <05428> (8735) out of their land <0127> which I have given <05414> (8804) them, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>. |
