⁸ The eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom,
   and I will destroy it from the face of the earth
   —except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,

says the Lord.

⁹ For lo, I will command,
   and shake the house of Israel among all the nations
as one shakes with a sieve,
   but no pebble shall fall to the ground.
¹⁰ All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword,
   who say, ‘Evil shall not overtake or meet us.’

The Restoration of David’s Kingdom

¹¹ On that day I will raise up
   the booth of David that is fallen,
and repair its^* breaches,
   and raise up its^* ruins,
   and rebuild it as in the days of old;
¹² in order that they may possess the remnant of Edom
   and all the nations who are called by my name,
   says the Lord who does this.

¹³ The time is surely coming, says the Lord,
   when the one who ploughs shall overtake the one who reaps,
   and the treader of grapes the one who sows the seed;
the mountains shall drip sweet wine,
   and all the hills shall flow with it.
¹⁴ I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel,
   and they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them;
they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine,
   and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit.
¹⁵ I will plant them upon their land,
   and they shall never again be plucked up
   out of the land that I have given them,

says the Lord your God.
