11
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine
of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the L
ORD
:
12
And they shall wander from
sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the
L
ORD
, and shall not find
it.
13
In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
14
They
that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba
liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.
CHAPTER 9
I saw the L
ORD
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 hide 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:
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 L
ORD
is
his name.
7
Are
ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O
children of Israel? saith the L
ORD
. 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 L
ORD
.
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:
12
That they may possess
the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the L
ORD
that
doeth this.
13
Behold, the days come, saith the L
ORD
, 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,
