9:1 I saw Adonai 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 flees of them shall not flee away, and he that escapes of them shall not be delivered.
9:2 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to shamayim, thence will I bring them down:
9:3 And though they hide themselves in the top of Karmel , 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:
9:4 And though they go into golus 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.
9:5 And Adonai HaShem Tzva'ot [is] he that touches 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 Mitzrayim.
9:6 [It is] he that builds his stories in the heaven, and has founded his troop in the earth; he that calls for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: Adonai Shmo (His Name).
9:7 [Are] you not as Benai Kushim to Me, O Benai Yisrael? said Adonai. Have not I brought up Yisrael (ישׂרא) out of the land Mitzrayim? and the Pelishtim (Philistines) from Kaphtor, and the Aram (Syria) from Kir?
9:8 Hinnei, the eyes of Adonai HaShem [are] upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy Beit Yaakov (יעקב), said Adonai.
9:9 For, Behold, I will command, and I will shake Beit Yisrael (ישׂרא) among all nations, like as [grain] is shaken in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.
9:10 All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
9:11
Restoration
of Davidic Kingdom
In that day will I raise up the Sukkah 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 yamin old:
9:12 The
nation convertion and grafting
That they may possess the she'erit (remnant) Edom (אדם), and of all the Goyim, which are called by My Name, said Adonai that doeth this.
9:13
The
fruitfulness of the land Yisrael
Hinnei, the days come, said Adonai, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that sows seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
9:14
Yisrael
will return from captivity
And I will bring again the captivity of My people of Yisrael, 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.
9:15
Yisrael
will settle permanently in the Land of Yisrael
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, said Adonai Eloheicha.
