9 I saw the Lord standing beside the altar;
“Strike the pillars on the top,” said he,
“that the ceiling may be shaken,
break them on the heads of all the worshippers;
those who are left I will slay with the sword,
not one shall escape as he flies,
not one survivor shall get clear away.
2 Though they were to break through to Death-land,
I would pull them out:
though they were to climb up to heaven,
I would drag them down:
3 though they were concealed on Karmel’s summit,
I would find and fetch them:
though they were to hide from me under the sea,
I would bid the Dragon bite them:
4 though they went into exile in front of their foes,
I would command the sword to slay them.
My eye will be upon them
for evil, not for good.
5 [[’Tis the Eternal, Lord of hosts,
at whose touch the earth trembles,
and ever dweller wails,
as it all rises like the Nile
and sinks like Egypt’s flood;
6 ’tis he who builds his chambers high in heaven
and rests his Vault upon the earth,
who summons floods and pours them on the earth–
the Eternal is his name.]]
7 What are you more than Ethiopians?
O Israelites, the Eternal asks?
I brought up Israel from Egypt? Yes,
and Philistines from Crete,
from Kir the Aramaeans.
8 Mine eyes are on the sinful realms,
to wipe it off the earth.
[[Only I will not wipe out all the house of Jacob,
the Eternal promises.
9 For I will issue my command
to shake the house of Israel among all nations,
like corn within a sieve,
but not one grain of it shall fall.
10 The sword shall slay the sinners of my people,
all who say, ‘Trouble will never touch us, never catch us.’
11 On that day I will raise again the fallen huts of David,
repair their breaches, mend their rifts,
rebuild them as in days of old,
12 till the people hold what is left of Edom
and of all nations I have conquered:
the Eternal has said it,
the Eternal will do it.
13 The time is coming, the Eternal One declares,
when the ploughman overtakes the reaper,
when he who treads grapes overtakes the sower,
when mountains drip with new wine,
and all the hills are aflow with milk;
14 when I bring back the exiles of my people Israel,
to build waste towns and dwell in them,
to plant vineyards and drink their wine,
to lay out gardens and to eat their fruit.
15 In their own land I will plant them,
nevermore to be uprooted
from the land I give to them–
so the Eternal promises, your God.”]]
