\p
|
||
|
\v 1 Yahweh showed me another vision. In the vision, I saw him standing next to the altar. He said,
|
||
|
\q1 "Strike the tops of the pillars of the temple,
|
||
|
\q2 until they become loose and fall down,
|
||
|
\q2 so that the foundation will shake.
|
||
|
\q1 Then cause the pieces of the temple to fall down on the people who are inside.
|
||
|
\q1 I will kill with a sword anyone who tries to flee;
|
||
|
\q2 no one will escape.
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 2 If they dig deep pits in the ground, even all the way to the place of the dead,
|
||
|
\q2 or if they try to climb up to the sky
|
||
|
\q1 in order to escape,
|
||
|
\q2 I will reach out and grab them.
|
||
|
|
||
|
\s5
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 3 If they go to the top of Mount Carmel to escape,
|
||
|
\q2 I will search for them and seize them.
|
||
|
\q1 If they try to hide from me at the bottom of the sea,
|
||
|
\q2 I will command the huge sea monster to bite them.
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 4 If their enemies capture them and force them to go to other countries,
|
||
|
\q2 I will command that they be killed there with swords.
|
||
|
\q1 I am determined to get rid of them, not to help them."

\s5
|

|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 5 When Yahweh, Commander of the angel armies, touches the earth, it melts,
|
||
|
\q2 and all over the earth many people die, and the others mourn for them.
|
||
|
\q1 It is as though Yahweh causes the earth repeatedly to rise and fall
|
||
|
\q2 like water in the Nile River rises and falls.
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 6 He builds his beautiful palace in heaven
|
||
|
\q2 and sets the sky to be like a dome over the earth.
|
||
|
\q1 He scoops up the water from the ocean and puts it into clouds,
|
||
|
\q2 and then empties the clouds onto the earth.
|
||
|
\q2 His name is Yahweh.
|
||
|
\b
|
||
|
|
||
|
\s5
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 7 Yahweh says, "You people of Israel,
|
||
|
\q2 you are certainly now no more important to me than the people of Ethiopia.
|
||
|
\q1 I brought your ancestors here from Egypt,
|
||
|
\q2 but I also brought the people of Philistia from the Island of Crete,
|
||
|
\q2 and I brought the people of Aram from the region of Kir.
|
||
|
\b
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 8 I, Yahweh the Lord, have seen that you people in the kingdom of Israel are very sinful,
|
||
|
\q2 so I will destroy you.
|
||
|
\q1 But I will not get rid of all you descendants of Jacob.
|
||
|
\q2 That is what will surely happen because I, Yahweh, have said it.
|
||
|
\b
|
||
|
|
||
|
\s5
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 9 When I command it, it will be as though I will shake you Israelite people who are living in various nations,
|
||
|
\q2 as farmer shakes a sieve to separate the stone pebbles from the grain
|
||
|
\q2 in order that they do not fall on the ground with the grain.
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 10 From among my people,
|
||
|
\q2 all you sinful people who say, 'We will not experience disasters; nothing evil will happen to us,'
|
||
|
\q1 your enemies will kill you with their swords."
|
||
|
|
||
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 11 "The kingdom over which King David ruled has been destroyed, like a house that collapsed and then became ruins.
|
||
|
\q2 But some day I will cause it to be a kingdom again.
|
||
|
\q1 I will cause it to prosper again
|
||
|
\q2 just like it did previously.
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 12 When that happens, your armies will seize the remaining part of the region of Edom,
|
||
|
\q2 and they will also seize the other nations that previously belonged to me.
|
||
|
\q1 I, Yahweh, have said that I will do these things,
|
||
|
\q2 and I will certainly cause them to happen.
|
||
|
\b
|
||
|
|
||
|
\s5
|
||
|
\p
|
||
|
\v 13 There will be a time when your crops will grow very well;
|
||
|
\q1 very soon after the crops are harvested,
|
||
|
\q2 farmers will plow the ground to plant more crops in it again,
|
||
|
\q1 and soon after the vineyards are planted,
|
||
|
\q2 farmers will harvest grapes and tread on them to make wine.
|
||
|
\q1 And because there will be very much wine,
|
||
|
\q2 it will seem as though wine is flowing down from the hills.
|
||
|
|
||
|
\s5
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 14 I will cause you, my Israelite people, to prosper again.
|
||
|
\q2 You will rebuild your towns and live in them.
|
||
|
\q1 You will plant vineyards and drink the wine made from the grapes that grows in them.
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 15 I will enable you to live in your land again,
|
||
|
\q2 the land that I gave to your ancestors;
|
||
|
\q1 never again will you be forced to leave it.
|
||
|
\q2 That is what will surely happen because I, Yahweh, have said it."
