1 我见主站在祭坛旁， 他说： "击打圣殿的柱顶， 使门槛都震动。砍掉它们， 落在众人的头上， 剩下的人我必用刀杀死； 没有一个能逃走， 没有一人逃脱。 2 如果他们下到阴间， 就是在那里， 我的手必把他们揪上来； 如果他们升到天上， 就是在那里， 我必把他们拉下来； 3 如果他们躲在迦密山顶， 就是在那里， 我必搜寻他们， 抓他们出来； 如果他们要躲避我， 藏在海底， 就是在那里， 我必命令蛇去咬他们； 4 如果他们被仇敌掳去， 就是在那里， 我必命令刀剑杀死他们； 我必定睛在他们身上， 降祸不降福。" 5 万军之主耶和华摸地， 地就融化， 住在地上的都要悲哀。这地必像尼罗河高涨， 像埃及的大河退落。 6 他在天上建立楼阁， 在大地之上奠立穹苍； 他召唤海水， 把海水浇在地上； 耶和华是他的名。 7 "以色列人哪！ 在我看来， 你们不是与古实人一样吗？我带领以色列人出埃及地， 不是也领非利士人出迦斐托， 领亚兰人出吉珥吗？"这是耶和华的宣告。 8 "看哪！ 耶和华的眼目察看这有罪的国， 我要把它从地上除灭； 却必不把雅各家完全除灭。"这是耶和华的宣告。 9 耶和华说： "看哪！ 我必下令， 我必在列国中筛以色列家， 好像人用筛子筛谷， 但谷粒不会落在地上。 10 我民中所有犯罪的人， 就是那些说： ‘灾祸必不临近、追上我们’的人， 他们必死在刀下。 11 "到那日， 我必竖立大卫倒塌的帐幕， 修补它们的破口； 我必重建它的废墟， 使它像往日一样建立起来。 12 好使他们获得以东所余剩的， 以及所有称为我名下的国。"这是行这些事的耶和华的宣告。 13 "日子快到， 这是耶和华的宣告。耕地的必紧接着收割的， 踹葡萄的必紧接着撒种的； 大山必滴下新酒， 小山必融化。 14 我必使我的子民以色列被掳的人回归， 他们必重建荒废的城， 住在其中； 他们必栽种葡萄园， 喝园中的酒； 建造果园， 吃园中的果子。 15 我必把他们栽于他们自己的土地， 他们再不会从我赐给他们的土地上被拔除。"这是耶和华你的 神说的。

1 I have seen the Lord standing by the altar, and He saith: `Smite the knob, and the thresholds shake, And cut them off by the head -- all of them, And their posterity with a sword I do slay, Not flee to them doth the fleer, Nor escape to them doth a fugitive.2 If they dig through into sheol, From thence doth My hand take them, And if they go up the heavens, From thence I cause them to come down.3 And if they be hid in the top of Carmel, From thence I search out, and have taken them, And if they be hid from Mine eyes in the bottom of the sea, From thence I command the serpent, And it hath bitten them.4 And if they go into captivity before their enemies, From thence I command the sword, And it hath slain them, And I have set Mine eye on them for evil, And not for good.5 And [it is] the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Who is striking against the land, and it melteth, And mourned have all the inhabitants in it, And come up as a flood hath all of it, And it hath sunk -- like the flood of Egypt.6 Who is building in the heavens His upper chambers; As to His troop, Upon earth He hath founded it, Who is calling for the waters of the sea, And poureth them out on the face of the land, Jehovah [is] His name.7 As sons of Cushim are ye not to Me? O sons of Israel -- an affirmation of Jehovah. Israel did I not bring up out of the land of Egypt? And the Philistines from Caphtor, and Aram from Kir?8 Lo, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah [are] on the sinful kingdom, And I have destroyed it from off the face of the ground, Only, I destroy not utterly the house of Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah.9 For lo, I am commanding, And I have shaken among all the nations the house of Israel, As [one] doth shake with a sieve, And there falleth not a grain [to] the earth.10 By sword die do all sinners of My people, Who are saying, `Not overtake, or go before, For our sakes, doth evil.`11 In that day I raise the tabernacle of David, that is fallen, And I have repaired their breaches, And its ruins I do raise up, And I have built it up as in days of old.12 So that they possess the remnant of Edom, And all the nations on whom My name is called, An affirmation of Jehovah -- doer of this.13 Lo, days are coming -- an affirmation of Jehovah, And come nigh hath the ploughman to the reaper, And the treader of grapes to the scatterer of seed, And the mountains have dropt juice, And all the hills do melt.14 And I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel, And they have built desolate cities, and inhabited, And have planted vineyards, and drunk their wine, And made gardens, and eaten their fruit.15 And I have planted them on their own ground, And they are not plucked up any more from off their own ground, That I have given to them, said Jehovah thy God!
