This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
9 I saw my master standing beside the altar, and he said,
“Strike the tops of the pillars so that the foundations will shake.
Break them in pieces onto all their heads,
and I will kill the last of them with the sword.
Not one of them will get away.
≈ Not one of them will escape.
2 Though they dig down towards Sheol, my hand will reach in there and pluck them out.
≈ Though they climb up to heaven, I’ll bring them back down from there.
3 Even if they hide on the top of Mt. Karmel, I’ll search there and take them.
≈ Though they’re hidden from my sight at the bottom of the sea, I’ll give orders to the serpent there to bite them.
4 Though they go into captivity, driven ahead by their enemies, I’ll give orders there to the sword to kill them.
I’ll keep my eyes on them for harm and not for good.”
5 Master and Commander-in-chief Yahweh touches the land and it melts.
All of it will rise up like the Nile river,
then go down again like Mitsrayim’s (Egypt’s) river.
6 He builds his steps in the heavens,
≈ and has established his vault over the earth.
He calls for the waters of the sea,
and pours them out on the earth’s surface,
7 This is Yahweh’s declaration:
“Aren’t you all like Kush’s (Ethiopia’s) sons to me, you Israelis?
Didn’t I bring Yisrael (Israel) out of Mitsrayim (Egypt),
the Pelishtim from Kraitai (Crete),
8 Listen, the eyes of my master Yahweh are on the sinful kingdom of Yisrael,
and I will destroy it from the face of the earth,
except that I won’t totally wipe out Ya’akov’s (Jacob’s) descendants.
That is Yahweh’s declaration.
9 Because, listen, I will give a command,
and I’ll shake Yisrael among all the nations,
as one shakes grain in a sieve,
but not even a pebble will fall to the ground. 10 All my people who are sinners will die by the sword,
including those who said, ‘We’re totally immune from any disaster.’
11 At that time, I’ll raise up David’s shelter that collapsed, and repair where it’s split.
≈ I’ll raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old.[ref]
12 Consequently they may take over what’s left of Edom
and all the nations that have decided to follow me.
That is Yahweh’s declaration—he’ll do it.
13 This is Yahweh’s declaration:
Listen, the days will come when the man on the plough will overtake the harvester,
≈ and the treader of grapes will overtake the one planting seed.
The mountains will drip sweet wine,
and all the hills will flow with it.
14 I’ll bring my people Yisrael (Israel) back from captivity.
They’ll build the ruined cities and inhabit them.
They’ll plant vineyards and drink their wine,
≈ and they’ll make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 I’ll plant them onto their land,
and they’ll never again be uprooted from the land that I’ve given them,”
