8 “Surely the eyes of the Sovereign Lord

are on the sinful kingdom.

I will destroyj it

from the face of the earth.

Yet I will not totally destroy

the descendants of Jacob,”

declares the Lord.k

9 “For I will give the command,

and I will shake the people of Israel

among all the nations

as grainl is shaken in a sieve,m

and not a pebble will reach the ground.n

10 All the sinners among my people

will die by the sword,o

all those who say,

‘Disaster will not overtake or meet us.’p

Israel’s Restoration

11 “In that day

“I will restore David’sq fallen shelterr—

I will repair its broken walls

and restore its ruinss—

and will rebuild it as it used to be,t

12 so that they may possess the remnant of Edomu

and all the nations that bear my name,e v”

declares the Lord, who will do these things.w

13 “The days are coming,”x declares the Lord,

“when the reapery will be overtaken by the plowmanz

and the planter by the one treadinga grapes.

New wineb will drip from the mountains

and flow from all the hills,c

14 and I will bringd my people Israel back from exile.f e

“They will rebuild the ruined citiesf and live in them.

They will plant vineyardsg and drink their wine;

they will make gardens and eat their fruit.h

15 I will planti Israel in their own land,j

never again to be uprootedk

from the land I have given them,”l

says the Lord your God.m
