9for I am about to give the command,

and I will shake the house of Israelr

among all the nations,

as one shakes a sieve,

but not a pebble will fall to the ground.

10All the sinners among my peoples

who say, “Disaster will never overtakeB

or confront us,”t

will die by the sword.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

“For behold, 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 earth.

All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword,

who say, ‘Disaster shall not overtake or meet us.’

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“For I will give the command,

and I will shake the people of Israel

among all the nations

as grain is shaken in a sieve,

and not a pebble will reach the ground.

All the sinners among my people

will die by the sword,

all those who say,

‘Disaster will not overtake or meet us.’

NLTNew Living Translation

“For I will give the command

and will shake Israel along with the other nations

as grain is shaken in a sieve,

yet not one true kernel will be lost.

But all the sinners will die by the sword—

all those who say, ‘Nothing bad will happen to us.’

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

“Yes, look, I am going to command and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations like one who shakes with a sieve, but not a pebble will fall to the ground. All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, ‘Evil will not overtake or confront us.’

KJV 1900King James Version

For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among 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.
