Chapter 9

1  The certainty of the desolation.  11  The restoring of the Tabernacle of David.

9:1 ¶ I saw {7200} <8804> (853) the Lord {136} standing {5324} <8737> upon (5921) the altar: {4196} and he said, {559} <8799> Smite {5221} <8685> the lintel (3730) of the door, [3730] that the posts {5592} may shake: {7493} <8799> and cut {1214} <8798> them in the head, {7218} all (3605) of them; and I will slay {2026} <8799> the last {319} of them with the sword: {2719} he that fleeth {5127} <8801> of them shall not (3808) flee away, {5127} <8799> and he that escapeth {6412} of them shall not (3808) be delivered. {4422} <8735>

9:2 Though (518) they dig {2864} <8799> into hell, {7585} thence (4480) (8033) shall mine hand {3027} take {3947} <8799> them; though (518) they climb up {5927} <8799> to heaven, {8064} thence (4480) (8033) will I bring them down: {3381} <8686>

9:3 And though (518) they hide [2244] <8735> themselves (2244) in the top {7218} of Carmel, {3760} I will search {2664} <8762> and take (3947) them out [3947] <8804> thence; (4480) (8033) and though (518) they be hid {5641} <8735> from (4480) (5048) my sight {5869} in the bottom {7172} of the sea, {3220} thence (4480) (8033) will I command {6680} <8762> (853) the serpent, {5175} and he shall bite {5391} <8804> them:

9:4 And though (518) they go [3212] <8799> (1980) into captivity {7628} before {6440} their enemies, {341} <8802> thence (4480) (8033) will I command {6680} <8762> (853) the sword, {2719} and it shall slay {2026} <8804> them: and I will set {7760} <8804> mine eyes {5869} upon (5921) them for evil, {7451} and not (3808) for good. {2896}

9:5 And the Lord {136} GOD {3069} of hosts {6635} [is] he that toucheth {5060} <8802> the land, {776} and it shall melt, {4127} <8799> and all (3605) that dwell {3427} <8802> therein shall mourn: {56} <8804> and it shall rise up {5927} <8804> wholly (3605) like a flood; {2975} and shall be drowned, {8257} <8804> as [by] the flood {2975} of Egypt. {4714}

9:6 [It is] he that buildeth {1129} <8802> his stories {4609} in the heaven, {8064} and hath founded {3245} <8804> his troop {92} in (5921) the earth; {776} he that calleth {7121} <8802> for the waters {4325} of the sea, {3220} and poureth them out {8210} <8799> upon (5921) the face {6440} of the earth: {776} The LORD {3068} [is] his name. {8034}

9:7 [Are] ye (859) not (3808) as children {1121} of the Ethiopians {3569} unto me, O children {1121} of Israel? {3478} saith {5002} <8803> the LORD. {3068} Have not (3808) I brought up {5927} <8689> (853) Israel {3478} out of the land {776} (4480) of Egypt? {4714} and the Philistines {6430} from Caphtor, {3731} (4480) and the Syrians {758} from Kir? {7024} (4480)

9:8 Behold, (2009) the eyes {5869} of the Lord {136} GOD {3069} [are] upon the sinful [2403] (2400) kingdom, {4467} and I will destroy {8045} <8689> it from off (4480) (5921) the face {6440} of the earth; {127} saving {657} that (3588) I will not (3808) utterly [8045] <8687> destroy {8045} <8686> (853) the house {1004} of Jacob, {3290} saith {5002} <8803> the LORD. {3068}

9:9 For, (3588) lo, (2009) I (595) will command, {6680} <8764> and I will sift {5128} <8689> (853) the house {1004} of Israel {3478} among all (3605) nations, {1471} like as (834) [corn] is sifted {5128} <8735> in a sieve, {3531} yet shall not (3808) the least grain {6872} fall {5307} <8799> upon the earth. {776}

9:10 All (3605) the sinners {2400} of my people {5971} shall die {4191} <8799> by the sword, {2719} which say, {559} <8802> The evil {7451} shall not (3808) overtake {5066} <8686> nor prevent {6923} <8686> (1157) us.

9:11 ¶ In that (1931) day {3117} will I raise up {6965} <8686> (853) the tabernacle {5521} of David {1732} that is fallen, {5307} <8802> and close up {1443} <8804> (853) the breaches {6556} thereof; and I will raise up {6965} <8686> his ruins, {2034} and I will build {1129} <8804> it as in the days {3117} of old: {5769}

9:12 That (4616) they may possess {3423} <8799> (853) the remnant {7611} of Edom, {123} and of all (3605) the heathen, {1471} which (834) are called [7121] <8738> by (7121) (5921) my name, {8034} saith {5002} <8803> the LORD {3068} that doeth {6213} <8802> this. (2063)

9:13 Behold, (2009) the days {3117} come, {935} <8802> saith {5002} <8803> the LORD, {3068} that the plowman {2790} <8802> shall overtake {5066} <8738> the reaper, {7114} <8802> and the treader {1869} <8802> of grapes {6025} him that soweth {4900} <8802> seed; {2233} and the mountains {2022} shall drop {5197} <8689> sweet wine, {6071} and all (3605) the hills {1389} shall melt. {4127} <8709>

9:14 And I will bring again {7725} <8804> (853) the captivity {7622} of my people {5971} of Israel, {3478} and they shall build {1129} <8804> the waste {8074} <8737> cities, {5892} and inhabit {3427} <8804> [them]; and they shall plant {5193} <8804> vineyards, {3754} and drink {8354} <8804> (853) the wine {3196} thereof; they shall also make {6213} <8804> gardens, {1593} and eat {398} <8804> (853) the fruit {6529} of them.

9:15 And I will plant {5193} <8804> them upon (5921) their land, {127} and they shall no (3808) more (5750) be pulled up {5428} <8735> out of (4480) (5921) their land {127} which (834) I have given {5414} <8804> them, saith {559} <8804> the LORD {3068} thy God. {430}
