毁坏圣所的异象

我见主站在祭坛旁,他说:

“击打圣殿的柱顶,

使门槛都震动。

砍掉它们,落在众人的头上,

剩下的人我必用刀杀死;

没有一个能逃走,

没有一人逃脱。

如果他们下到阴间,

就是在那里,我的手必把他们揪上来;

如果他们升到天上,

就是在那里,我必把他们拉下来;

如果他们躲在迦密山顶,

就是在那里,我必搜寻他们,抓他们出来;

如果他们要躲避我,藏在海底,

就是在那里,我必命令蛇去咬他们;

如果他们被仇敌掳去,

就是在那里,我必命令刀剑杀死他们;

我必定睛在他们身上,降祸不降福。”

万军之主耶和华摸地,地就融化,

住在地上的都要悲哀。

这地必像尼罗河高涨,

像埃及的大河退落。

那在天上建立楼阁,

在大地之上奠立穹苍;

又吩咐海水,

把海水倒在地上的;

耶和华就是他的名。

“以色列人哪!

在我看来,你们不是与古实人一样吗?

我带领以色列人出埃及地,

不是也领非利士人出迦斐托,

领亚兰人出吉珥吗?”这是耶和华的宣告。

“看哪!耶和华的眼目察看这有罪的国,

我要把它从地上除灭;

却必不把雅各家完全除灭。”

这是耶和华的宣告。

耶和华说:“看哪!我必下令,

我必在列国中筛以色列家,

好象人用筛子筛谷,

但谷粒不会落在地上。

10 我民中所有犯罪的人,

就是那些说:‘灾祸必不临近、追上我们’的人,

他们必死在刀下。

以色列将来的复兴

11 “到那日,我必竖立大卫倒塌的帐棚,

修补它们的破口;

我必重建它的废墟,

使它像往日一样建立起来。

12 好使他们获得以东所余剩的,

以及所有称为我名下的国。”

这是行这些事的耶和华的宣告。

13 “日子快到,这是耶和华的宣告。

耕地的必紧接着收割的,

踹葡萄的必紧接着撒种的;

大山必滴下甜酒,

小山必融化。

14 我必使我的子民以色列被掳的人回归,

他们必重建荒废的城,住在其中;

他们必栽种葡萄园,喝园中的酒;

建造果园,吃园中的果子。

15 我必把他们栽于他们自己的土地,

他们再不会从我赐给他们的土地上被拔除。”

这是耶和华你的 神说的。

耶和华的审判

我看见主站在祭坛旁,祂说:
“要击打柱顶,使殿的根基震动;
要打碎柱顶,使殿宇坍塌压死众人。
侥幸生还的,我要用刀剑杀掉,
没有一个能逃脱,没有一个能幸免。
即使他们挖洞钻进阴间,
我也要把他们揪出来;
即使他们爬上高天,
我也要把他们拉下来;
即使他们藏在迦密山的峰顶,
我也要去搜寻,捉住他们;
即使他们潜到海底,
我也要派海蛇去吞咬他们;
即使他们被敌人掳去,
我也要命刀剑追杀他们。
我要定睛在他们身上,
不是要赐福而是要降祸。”

主——万军之耶和华触摸大地,
大地就消融,地上的人都要哀号;
大地如埃及的尼罗河涨起退落。
那位在天上建造楼阁,
在大地之上立定穹苍,
召来海水浇在大地上的——
祂的名字是耶和华。

耶和华说:
“以色列人啊,
在我眼中,你们不是和古实人一样吗?
我不是领你们出埃及,
也领非利士人出迦斐托[a]
领亚兰人出吉珥吗?
主耶和华的眼目察看这罪恶的国家,
我要从地上除灭它,
但不会完全毁灭雅各家。
这是耶和华说的。

“因为我要下令在列国中筛以色列家,
就像人筛谷物,一粒石子也不会落在地上。
10 在我的子民中,
所有夸口说‘灾祸不会追上我们,也不会迎面而来’的罪人,
都要死在刀下。

以色列的复兴

11 “到那日,
我要重建已倾覆的大卫王朝,
修补它城墙的缺口。
我要从废墟中重建它,
恢复它往日的荣耀。
12 这样,以色列人必拥有以东所剩的和所有属于我名下的国家。
这是要成就这事的耶和华说的。”
13 耶和华说:
“时候将到,
五谷还未收完又该耕种了,
葡萄还未踩完又该栽种了。
甜酒从群山上滴下,在丘岭间流淌。
14 我要使我被掳的以色列子民返回故乡,
他们要重建废城并住在城中,
栽种葡萄园,喝园中酿出的美酒,
整理园圃,吃园中出产的佳果。
15 我要将以色列人栽种在他们自己的土地上,
永不再从我赐给他们的土地上拔除他们。”

这是你们的上帝耶和华说的。

  1. 9:7 迦斐托”即克里特岛。

I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.

Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:

And though they hide themselves in 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, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:

And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

And the Lord God of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.

It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name.

Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the Lord. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.

For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.

10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.

11 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:

12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the Lord that doeth this.

13 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.

14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of 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.

15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.

The Destruction of Israel

I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and He said:

“Strike the [a]doorposts, that the thresholds may shake,
And (A)break them on the heads of them all.
I will slay the last of them with the sword.
(B)He who flees from them shall not get away,
And he who escapes from them shall not be delivered.

“Though(C) they dig into [b]hell,
From there My hand shall take them;
(D)Though they climb up to heaven,
From there I will bring them down;
And though they (E)hide themselves on top of Carmel,
From there I will search and take them;
Though they hide from My sight at the bottom of the sea,
From there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them;
Though they go into captivity before their enemies,
From there (F)I will command the sword,
And it shall slay them.
(G)I will set My eyes on them for harm and not for good.”

The Lord God of hosts,
He who touches the earth and it (H)melts,
(I)And all who dwell there mourn;
All of it shall swell like [c]the River,
And subside like the River of Egypt.
He who builds His (J)layers[d] in the sky,
And has founded His strata in the earth;
Who (K)calls for the waters of the sea,
And pours them out on the face of the earth—
(L)The Lord is His name.

Are you not like the [e]people of Ethiopia to Me,
O children of Israel?” says the Lord.
“Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt,
The (M)Philistines from (N)Caphtor,[f]
And the Syrians from (O)Kir?

“Behold, (P)the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful kingdom,
And I (Q)will destroy it from the face of the earth;
Yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,”
Says the Lord.

“For surely I will command,
And will [g]sift the house of Israel among all nations,
As grain is sifted in a sieve;
(R)Yet not the smallest [h]grain shall fall to the ground.
10 All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword,
(S)Who say, ‘The calamity shall not overtake nor confront us.’

Israel Will Be Restored

11 “On(T) that day I will raise up
The [i]tabernacle of David, which has fallen down,
And [j]repair its damages;
I will raise up its ruins,
And rebuild it as in the days of old;
12 (U)That they may possess the remnant of (V)Edom,[k]
And all the Gentiles who are called by My name,”
Says the Lord who does this thing.

13 “Behold, (W)the days are coming,” says the Lord,
“When the plowman shall overtake the reaper,
And the treader of grapes him who sows seed;
(X)The mountains shall drip with sweet wine,
And all the hills shall flow with it.
14 (Y)I will bring back the captives of My people Israel;
(Z)They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them;
They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them;
They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them.
15 I will plant them in their land,
(AA)And no longer shall they be pulled up
From the land I have given them,”
Says the Lord your God.
