1And I saw LORD JEHOVAH who stood over the altar, and he said: ’strike the top and the doorposts shall shake, and their treachery is on the heads of all of them, and the rest of them I shall kill by the sword; he who fled will not escape from them, and he who is spared shall not escape from them

2If they will go down to Sheol, from there my hand will bring them up, and if they will go up to Heaven, from there I shall bring them down!

3And if they will hide at the top of Karmela, from there I shall search and I shall take them, and if they will hide from before my eyes in the depths of the sea, there I shall command the Serpent and it shall bite them

4And if they shall go into captivity before their enemies, there I shall command the sword and it shall kill them, and I shall set my eyes upon them for evil and not for good

5Says The Lord of Lords, The Almighty One who touches Earth and it quakes, and all its inhabitants sit in mourning, and its end came up as a river, and it went down as the river of Egypt

6He who built his stairs in Heaven and sets in order his property in the earth, who calls the waters of the sea and he pours them out on the face of the Earth; LORD JEHOVAH of Hosts, his name!

7Behold, you are to me as children of the Kushites, children of Israel, says LORD JEHOVAH. Behold, I brought Israel up from the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Qapadoqia, and Aram from Qir

8Behold, the eyes of The Lord of Lords are in the Kingdom of Sin, and I shall destroy it from the face of the Earth, however, I shall not so destroy the house of Yaqob, says LORD JEHOVAH

9For, behold, I command and I shall scatter in all the nations those of the house of Israel as what they sift in a sieve, and the smallest of them will not fall on the Earth

10All the sinners of my people will fall by the sword who say: “Evil shall not come near and shall not meet us!”

11In that day I shall raise up the tabernacle of David which fell and I shall close its gaps, and their ruins I shall raise up and I shall build it as the days of old, and as the years of the generations of generations

12So that the rest of Edom and all the Gentiles upon whom my name is called will inherit, says LORD JEHOVAH, who does these things

13Behold the days are coming, says LORD JEHOVAH, and the gatherer will overtake the granary and the treader of grapes the sower, and the mountains shall emanate sweetness, and all the hills shall be delighted

14And I shall return the captivity of my people, Israel, and they shall build the desolate cities, and they shall dwell, and they shall plant vineyards, and they shall drink their wine and they shall plant paradises and they shall eat their fruit

15And I shall plant them in their land and not they shall be uprooted again from their land that I have given to them says LORD JEHOVAH your God
