1I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said,
2Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them;
3And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel,
4And though they go into captivity before their enemies,
5And the Lord God of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt,
6It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven,
7Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the Lord.
8Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom,
9For lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations,
10All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword,
11In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen,
12That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen,
13Behold, the days come, saith the Lord,
14And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel,
15And I will plant them upon their land,
