8 The eyes of the Lord Godare upon the sinful kingdom,and I will destroy itfrom off the face of the earth,though I will not completely destroythe house of Jacob,says the Lord.
9 See, I am giving the command,and I will sift the house of Israelamong all the nations,as one sifts with a sieve,and not a pebble falls to the ground.
10 All the sinners of My peoplewill die by the sword,those who say,“Never will disaster reach or overtakeus.”
11 On that day will I raise upthe hut of David that is fallen;I will close up its breached walls,raise up its ruins,and rebuild it as in the days of old;
12 that they may possess the remnant of Edom,and of all the nations called by My name,says the Lord who will do this.
13 Indeed, the days are coming, says the Lord, when the plowman will overtake the one who is reaping,and the treader of grapes the one who is sowing the seed;the mountains will drip sweet wine,and all the hills will flow with it.
14 I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel;they will rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them;they will plant vineyards and drink their wine;they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
