Fifth Vision: The Lord beside the Altar
9 I saw the Lord standing beside the altar,(A) and He said:
Strike the capitals of the pillars(B)
so that the thresholds shake;
knock them down on the heads of all the people.
Then I will kill the rest of them with the sword.(C)
None of those who flee will get away;(D)
none of the fugitives will escape.
2 If they dig down to Sheol,(E)
from there My hand will take them;
if they climb up to heaven,(F)
from there I will bring them down.
3 If they hide themselves
on the top of Carmel,
from there I will track them down(G)
and seize them;
if they conceal themselves
from My sight on the sea floor,(H)
from there I will command
the sea serpent to bite them.(I)
4 And if they are driven
by their enemies into captivity,(J)
from there I will command
the sword to kill them.(K)
I will fix My eyes on them
for harm and not for good.(L)
5 The Lord, the God of Hosts—
He touches the earth;(M)
it melts, and all who dwell in it mourn;
all of it rises like the Nile
and subsides like the Nile of Egypt.(N)
6 He builds His upper chambers
in the heavens(O)
and lays the foundation of His vault
on the earth.(P)
He summons the waters of the sea
and pours them out on the face of the earth.(Q)
Yahweh is His name.(R)
Announcement of Judgment
7 Israelites, are you not like the Cushites to Me?(S)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
Didn’t I bring Israel from the land of Egypt,
the Philistines from Caphtor,[a](T)
and the Arameans from Kir?(U)
8 Look, the eyes of the Lord God
are on the sinful kingdom,(V)
and I will destroy it
from the face of the earth.(W)
However, I will not totally destroy
the house of Jacob(X)—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
9 for I am about to give the command,
and I will shake the house of Israel(Y)
among all the nations,
as one shakes a sieve,
but not a pebble will fall to the ground.
10 All the sinners among My people(Z)
who say: “Disaster will never overtake[b]
or confront us,”(AA)
will die by the sword.
Announcement of Restoration
11 In that day
I will restore the fallen booth(AB) of David:(AC)
I will repair its gaps,
restore its ruins,(AD)
and rebuild it as in the days of old,(AE)
12 so that they may possess
the remnant of Edom(AF)
and all the nations
that are called by My name[c](AG)—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
He will do this.
13 Hear this! The days are coming—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
when the plowman will overtake the reaper(AH)
and the one who treads grapes,
the sower of seed.
The mountains will drip with sweet wine,
and all the hills will flow with it.(AI)
14 I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel.[d](AJ)
They will rebuild and occupy ruined cities,(AK)
plant vineyards and drink their wine,
make gardens and eat their produce.(AL)
15 I will plant them on their land,
and they will never again be uprooted
from the land I have given them.(AM)
Yahweh your God has spoken.

Israel to Be Destroyed
9 I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and he said:
“Strike the tops of the pillars
so that the thresholds shake.
Bring them down on the heads(A) of all the people;
those who are left I will kill with the sword.
Not one will get away,
none will escape.(B)
2 Though they dig down to the depths below,(C)
from there my hand will take them.
Though they climb up to the heavens above,(D)
from there I will bring them down.(E)
3 Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel,(F)
there I will hunt them down and seize them.(G)
Though they hide from my eyes at the bottom of the sea,(H)
there I will command the serpent(I) to bite them.(J)
4 Though they are driven into exile by their enemies,
there I will command the sword(K) to slay them.
5 The Lord, the Lord Almighty—
he touches the earth and it melts,(O)
and all who live in it mourn;
the whole land rises like the Nile,
then sinks like the river of Egypt;(P)
6 he builds his lofty palace[a](Q) in the heavens
and sets its foundation[b] on the earth;
he calls for the waters of the sea
and pours them out over the face of the land—
the Lord is his name.(R)
7 “Are not you Israelites
the same to me as the Cushites[c]?”(S)
declares the Lord.
“Did I not bring Israel up from Egypt,
the Philistines(T) from Caphtor[d](U)
and the Arameans from Kir?(V)
8 “Surely the eyes of the Sovereign Lord
are on the sinful kingdom.
I will destroy(W) it
from the face of the earth.
Yet I will not totally destroy
the descendants of Jacob,”
declares the Lord.(X)
9 “For I will give the command,
and I will shake the people of Israel
among all the nations
as grain(Y) is shaken in a sieve,(Z)
and not a pebble will reach the ground.(AA)
10 All the sinners among my people
will die by the sword,(AB)
all those who say,
‘Disaster will not overtake or meet us.’(AC)
Israel’s Restoration
11 “In that day
“I will restore David’s(AD) fallen shelter(AE)—
I will repair its broken walls
and restore its ruins(AF)—
and will rebuild it as it used to be,(AG)
12 so that they may possess the remnant of Edom(AH)
and all the nations that bear my name,[e](AI)”
declares the Lord, who will do these things.(AJ)
13 “The days are coming,”(AK) declares the Lord,
“when the reaper(AL) will be overtaken by the plowman(AM)
and the planter by the one treading(AN) grapes.
New wine(AO) will drip from the mountains
and flow from all the hills,(AP)
14 and I will bring(AQ) my people Israel back from exile.[f](AR)
“They will rebuild the ruined cities(AS) and live in them.
They will plant vineyards(AT) and drink their wine;
they will make gardens and eat their fruit.(AU)
15 I will plant(AV) Israel in their own land,(AW)
never again to be uprooted(AX)
from the land I have given them,”(AY)
says the Lord your God.(AZ)

King James Version
9 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.
2 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:
3 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:
4 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.
5 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.
6 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.
7 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?
8 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.
9 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.

耶和華的審判
9 我看見主站在祭壇旁，祂說：
「要擊打柱頂，使殿的根基震動；
要打碎柱頂，使殿宇坍塌壓死眾人。
僥倖生還的，我要用刀劍殺掉，
沒有一個能逃脫，沒有一個能倖免。
2 即使他們挖洞鑽進陰間，
我也要把他們揪出來；
即使他們爬上高天，
我也要把他們拉下來；
3 即使他們藏在迦密山的峰頂，
我也要去搜尋，捉住他們；
即使他們潛到海底，
我也要派海蛇去吞咬他們；
4 即使他們被敵人擄去，
我也要命刀劍追殺他們。
我要定睛在他們身上，
不是要賜福而是要降禍。」
5 主——萬軍之耶和華觸摸大地，
大地就消融，地上的人都要哀號；
大地如埃及的尼羅河漲起退落。
6 那位在天上建造樓閣，
在大地之上立定穹蒼，
召來海水澆在大地上的——
祂的名字是耶和華。
7 耶和華說：
「以色列人啊，
在我眼中，你們不是和古實人一樣嗎？
我不是領你們出埃及，
也領非利士人出迦斐托[a]，
領亞蘭人出吉珥嗎？
8 主耶和華的眼目察看這罪惡的國家，
我要從地上除滅它，
但不會完全毀滅雅各家。
這是耶和華說的。
9 「因為我要下令在列國中篩以色列家，
就像人篩穀物，一粒石子也不會落在地上。
10 在我的子民中，
所有誇口說『災禍不會追上我們，也不會迎面而來』的罪人，
都要死在刀下。
以色列的復興
11 「到那日，
我要重建已傾覆的大衛王朝，
修補它城牆的缺口。
我要從廢墟中重建它，
恢復它往日的榮耀。
12 這樣，以色列人必擁有以東所剩的和所有屬於我名下的國家。
這是要成就這事的耶和華說的。」
13 耶和華說：
「時候將到，
五穀還未收完又該耕種了，
葡萄還未踩完又該栽種了。
甜酒從群山上滴下，在丘嶺間流淌。
14 我要使我被擄的以色列子民返回故鄉，
他們要重建廢城並住在城中，
栽種葡萄園，喝園中釀出的美酒，
整理園圃，吃園中出產的佳果。
15 我要將以色列人栽種在他們自己的土地上，
永不再從我賜給他們的土地上拔除他們。」
這是你們的上帝耶和華說的。

Vision du Seigneur sur l’autel
9 J’ai vu le Seigneur debout sur l'autel. Il a dit:
«Frappe les chapiteaux! Que les seuils soient ébranlés,
et brise-les sur leurs têtes à tous!
Je ferai mourir le reste par l'épée:
aucun d'eux ne pourra se sauver en fuyant,
il n’y aura parmi eux aucun rescapé.
2 S'ils pénètrent dans le séjour des morts,
ma main les en arrachera;
s'ils montent au ciel,
je les en ferai descendre.
3 S'ils se cachent au sommet du Carmel,
je les y chercherai et je les attraperai;
s'ils se cachent à mes regards dans le fond de la mer,
j'ordonnerai au serpent de les y mordre.
4 S'ils sont emmenés en déportation par leurs ennemis,
j'ordonnerai à l'épée de les y faire mourir;
je dirigerai mes regards vers eux
pour leur faire du mal et non du bien.»
5 Le Seigneur, l'Eternel, le maître de l’univers, touche la terre, et elle tremble,
et tous ses habitants sont dans le deuil;
elle se soulève tout entière comme le Nil,
et elle s'affaisse comme le fleuve d'Egypte.
6 Il a construit son palais dans le ciel
et fondé sa voûte sur la terre;
il appelle l’eau de la mer
et la verse à la surface de la terre.
L'Eternel est son nom.
7 «N'êtes-vous pas pour moi comme des Ethiopiens,
Israélites? déclare l'Eternel.
N'ai-je pas fait sortir Israël d'Egypte
comme j’ai fait sortir les Philistins de Caphtor et les Syriens de Kir?»
8 Le Seigneur, l'Eternel, a les yeux sur le royaume coupable.
«Je le détruirai de la surface de la terre.
Toutefois ce n’est pas entièrement que je détruirai la famille de Jacob,
déclare l'Eternel,
9 car je donnerai mes ordres
et je secouerai la communauté d'Israël parmi toutes les nations
comme on secoue avec le crible,
sans qu'il tombe à terre un seul grain.
10 Tous les pécheurs de mon peuple mourront par l'épée,
ceux qui disent: ‘Le malheur n'approchera pas, il ne nous atteindra pas.’
11 »*Ce jour-là, je relèverai de sa chute la cabane de David,
je réparerai ses brèches, je redresserai ses ruines,
et je la reconstruirai comme elle était autrefois.
12 Alors ils posséderont le reste d'Edom et toutes les nations
appelées de mon nom,
déclare l'Eternel, celui qui fait tout cela.[a]
13 »Les jours viennent, déclare l'Eternel,
où le laboureur suivra de près le moissonneur,
et le vendangeur le semeur,
où le vin nouveau ruissellera des montagnes
et coulera de toutes les collines.
14 Je ramènerai les déportés de mon peuple, d'Israël;
ils reconstruiront les villes dévastées et les habiteront,
ils planteront des vignes et en boiront le vin,
ils cultiveront des jardins et en mangeront les fruits.
15 Je les planterai dans leur pays
et ils ne seront plus arrachés du pays que je leur ai donné,
dit l'Eternel, ton Dieu.»
