8 I, the Sovereign Lord, am watching this sinful kingdom of Israel, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth. But I will not destroy all the descendants of Jacob.
9 “I will give the command and shake the people of Israel like grain in a sieve. I will shake them among the nations to remove all who are worthless.
10 The sinners among my people will be killed in war—all those who say, ‘God will not let any harm come near us.’”
11 The Lord says, “A day is coming when I will restore the kingdom of David, which is like a house fallen into ruins. I will repair its walls and restore it. I will rebuild it and make it as it was long ago.
12 And so the people of Israel will conquer what is left of the land of Edom and all the nations that were once mine,” says the Lord, who will cause this to happen.
13 “The days are coming,” says the Lord,“when grain will grow faster than it can be harvested,and grapes will grow faster than the wine can be made.The mountains will drip with sweet wine,and the hills will flow with it.
14 I will bring my people back to their land.They will rebuild their ruined cities and live there;they will plant vineyards and drink the wine;they will plant gardens and eat what they grow.
