“For I will give the command,
    and I will shake the people of Israel
    among all the nations
as grain(A) is shaken in a sieve,(B)
    and not a pebble will reach the ground.(C)
10 All the sinners among my people
    will die by the sword,(D)
all those who say,
    ‘Disaster will not overtake or meet us.’(E)

Israel’s Restoration

11 “In that day

“I will restore David’s(F) fallen shelter(G)
    I will repair its broken walls
    and restore its ruins(H)
    and will rebuild it as it used to be,(I)
12 so that they may possess the remnant of Edom(J)
    and all the nations that bear my name,[a](K)
declares the Lord, who will do these things.(L)
