I saw the LORD standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel
of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of
them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of
them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered. |

they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down: |
009:003 |
And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search
and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom
of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them: |
009:004 |
And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will
I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon
them for evil, and not for good. |

And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall
melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly
like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. |

It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded
his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and
poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name. |

Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel?
saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt?
and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir? |
009:008 |
Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I
will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not
utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD. |
009:009 |

all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least
grain fall upon the earth. |

All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The
evil shall not overtake nor prevent us. |

which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this. |
009:013 |

the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains
shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. |
009:014 |
And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they
shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards,
and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit
of them. |
009:015 |
And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled
up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God. |
