Darby Bible Translation

New Living Translation

  • The Destruction of Israel

    I saw the Lord standing upon the altar; and he said, Smite the chapiter that the thresholds may shake; and break all of them in pieces, in the head; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not get away by flight, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.
  • A Vision of God at the Altar

    Then I saw a vision of the Lord standing beside the altar. He said,
    “Strike the tops of the Temple columns,
    so that the foundation will shake.
    Bring down the roof
    on the heads of the people below.
    I will kill with the sword those who survive.
    No one will escape!
  • Though they dig into Sheol, thence shall my hand take them; and though they climb up to the heavens, thence will I bring them down;
  • “Even if they dig down to the place of the dead,a
    I will reach down and pull them up.
    Even if they climb up into the heavens,
    I will bring them down.
  • and though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there will I command the serpent, and it shall bite them;
  • Even if they hide at the very top of Mount Carmel,
    I will search them out and capture them.
    Even if they hide at the bottom of the ocean,
    I will send the sea serpent after them to bite them.
  • and though they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
  • Even if their enemies drive them into exile,
    I will command the sword to kill them there.
    I am determined to bring disaster upon them
    and not to help them.”
  • And the Lord Jehovah of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it melteth, and all that dwell therein shall mourn; and it shall wholly rise up like the Nile, and sink down as the river of Egypt.
  • The Lord, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies,
    touches the land and it melts,
    and all its people mourn.
    The ground rises like the Nile River at floodtime,
    and then it sinks again.
  • It is he that buildeth his upper chambers in the heavens, and hath founded his vault upon the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: Jehovah is his name.
  • The LORD’s home reaches up to the heavens,
    while its foundation is on the earth.
    He draws up water from the oceans
    and pours it down as rain on the land.
    The LORD is his name!
  • Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith Jehovah. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
  • “Are you Israelites more important to me
    than the Ethiopians?b” asks the LORD.
    “I brought Israel out of Egypt,
    but I also brought the Philistines from Cretec
    and led the Arameans out of Kir.
  • Behold, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth: only that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith Jehovah.
  • “I, the Sovereign LORD,
    am watching this sinful nation of Israel.
    I will destroy it
    from the face of the earth.
    But I will never completely destroy the family of Israel,d
    says the LORD.
  • For behold, I command, and I will shake the house of Israel to and fro among all the nations, like as one shaketh [corn] in a sieve; yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.
  • “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.
  • All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, Evil shall not overtake nor befall us.
  • But all the sinners will die by the sword —
    all those who say, ‘Nothing bad will happen to us.’
    A Promise of Restoration
  • The Restoration of Israel

    In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David which is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
  • “In that day I will restore the fallen housee of David.
    I will repair its damaged walls.
    From the ruins I will rebuild it
    and restore its former glory.
  • that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations upon whom my name is called, saith Jehovah who doeth this.
  • And Israel will possess what is left of Edom
    and all the nations I have called to be mine.f
    The LORD has spoken,
    and he will do these things.
  • Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, when the ploughman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop new wine, and all the hills shall melt.
  • “The time will come,” says the LORD,
    “when the grain and grapes will grow faster
    than they can be harvested.
    Then the terraced vineyards on the hills of Israel
    will drip with sweet wine!
  • And I will turn 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; and they shall make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
  • I will bring my exiled people of Israel
    back from distant lands,
    and they will rebuild their ruined cities
    and live in them again.
    They will plant vineyards and gardens;
    they will eat their crops and drink their wine.
  • 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 Jehovah thy God.
  • I will firmly plant them there
    in their own land.
    They will never again be uprooted
    from the land I have given them,”
    says the LORD your God.
