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. 7 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old; that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this. Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. And I will bring again the captivity of my people 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. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God. DOOM OF EDOM We have heard tidings from the LORD, And an ambassador is sent among the nations: Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle. “Behold, I have made thee small among the nations, "Thou art greatly despised. “The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, "O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock: "Whose habitation is high, “That saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? “Though thou mount on high as the eagle, "And though thy nest be set among the stars, “I will bring thee down from thence," saith the LORD. If thieves came to thee, If robbers by night, (How art thou cut off!) Would they not steal till they had enough? If grapegatherers came to thee, Would they not leave some gleaning grapes? |
