7. Aren’t you like the Cushites to me,people of Israel?says the Lord.Haven’t I brought Israel up from the land of Egypt,and the Philistines from Caphtor and the Arameans from Kir?
8. Look, the Lord God is eyeing the sinful kingdom,and I will destroy it from the face of the earth.However, I won’t destroy fully the house of Jacob,says the Lord.
9. Look, I am giving orders,and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nationsas one sifts dirt with a screen,but no pebble will fall to the ground.
10. All the sinners of my people will die by the sword,those who say,"Evil won’t overtake or meet us."
11. On that day I will raise upthe meeting tent of David that has fallen,and repair its broken places.I will raise up its ruins,and I will rebuild it like a long time ago;
12. so that they may possess what is left of Edom,as well as all the nations who are called by my name,says the Lord who will do this.
13. The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when the one who plowswill overtake the one who gathers,when the one who crushes grapeswill overtake the one who sows the seed.The mountains will drip wine,and all the hills will flow with it.
14. I will improve the circumstances of my people Israel;they will rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them.They will plant vineyards and drink their wine;and they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
15. I will plant them upon their land,and they will never again be plucked upout of the land that I have given them,says the Lord your God.
