And has founded His strata in the earth;
Who bcalls for the waters of the sea,
And pours them out on the face of the earth—
cThe Lord is His name.
O children of Israel?” says the Lord.
“Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt,
The aPhilistines from bCaphtor,
And the Syrians from cKir?
And I bwill destroy it from the face of the earth;
Yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,”
Says the Lord.
And will1 sift the house of Israel among all nations,
As grain is sifted in a sieve;
aYet not the smallest1 grain shall fall to the ground.
aWho say, ‘The calamity shall not overtake nor confront us.’
Israel Will Be Restored
The1 tabernacle of David, which has fallen down,
And1 repair its damages;
I will raise up its ruins,
And rebuild it as in the days of old;
And all the Gentiles who are called by My name,”
Says the Lord who does this thing.
“When the plowman shall overtake the reaper,
And the treader of grapes him who sows seed;
bThe mountains shall drip with sweet wine,
And all the hills shall flow with it.
bThey shall build the waste cities and inhabit them;
They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them;
They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them.
aAnd no longer shall they be pulled up
From the land I have given them,”
Says the Lord your God.
