8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah upon the sinning kingdom, and I destroyed it from the face of the earth; only that destroying, I will not destroy the house of Jacob, says Jehovah. 9 For behold, I command, and I caused the house of Israel to move to and fro among all nations as it will move to and fro in a sieve, and a stone shall not fall to the earth. 10 By the sword shall all sinning of my people die, saying, It shall not draw near, and the evil shall not cleave about us. 11 In that day I will raise up the tent of David having fallen, and I walled in their breaches, and I will raise up its destructions, and I built it as the days of old: 12 So that they shall possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations which my name was called upon them, says Jehovah doing this. 13 Behold, the days coming, says Jehovah, the ploughing touched upon the harvesting, and the treading of grapes upon the drawing of the seed; and the mountains dropped new wine, and all the hills shall melt. 14 And I turned back the captivity of my people Israel, and they built the cities laid waste, and they inhabited; and they planted vineyards, and they drank their wine; and they made gardens and ate their fruit. 15 And I planted them upon their land, and they shall no more be plucked up from their land which I gave to them, said Jehovah thy God.
