1 |
I saw the LORD standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the
lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the
head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword:
he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of
them shall not be delivered. |
2 | Though
they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they
climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down: |
3 |
And though they 1hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will
search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the
bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite
them:
1
Gen 3:8,
Job 31:33,
Psa 139:7,
Jer 23:24
|
4
| And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence
will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set
mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good. |
5 |
And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall
melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a
flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. |
6 |
It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded
his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea,
and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his
name. |
7 | Are ye not as children of the
Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not 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 upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it
from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly
destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD. |
9 | For,
lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all
nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least
grain fall upon the earth. |
10 | All the sinners
of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not
overtake nor prevent us. |
11 |
In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that
is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and
I will build it as in the days of old:
Acts 15:16
|
12 |
That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen,
which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.
Acts 15:17
|
13 | Behold, the days come, saith the LORD,
that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of
grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet
wine, and all the hills shall melt. |
14 | And I will
bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall
build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant
vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens,
and eat the fruit of them. |
15 |
And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out
of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God. |
