Quinta visión: nadie escapará
9 De pie, junto al altar,
vi a mi Señor que decía:
Golpea los capiteles
hasta que se desplomen los dinteles;
destroza a los que van en cabeza,
que al resto les daré muerte a espada.
Ni uno entre ellos podrá escapar,
nadie logrará ponerse a salvo.
2 Si se esconden en el reino de los muertos
de allí los sacará mi mano;
si suben a lo más alto del cielo,
haré que desciendan de allí;
3 si se esconden en la cima del Carmelo,
los buscaré hasta sacarlos de allí;
si se esconden de mí en el fondo del mar,
mandaré a la Serpiente que los muerda;
4 si sus enemigos los llevan cautivos,
haré que la espada los degüelle.
¡Para mal y no para bien
los tendré siempre ante mi vista!
El Señor es Dios del universo
5 Soy Dios, el Señor del universo;
toco la tierra y la hago estremecer,
mientras todos sus habitantes hacen duelo.
Crece toda ella como el Nilo
y decrece como el río de Egipto.
6 Soy el que pone en el cielo su trono
y asienta sobre la tierra su bóveda;
el que convoca a las aguas del mar
y las derrama sobre la faz de la tierra.
Mi nombre es el Señor.
No habrá privilegios para Israel
7 Vosotros, israelitas, sois para mí
como si fuerais oriundos de Cus
—oráculo del Señor—
si yo saqué a Israel de Egipto,
también saqué a los filisteos de Creta
y a los arameos de la tierra de Quir.
Castigo de los culpables
8 Tengo clavados mis ojos
—[dice] el Señor Dios—
sobre este reino pecador:
lo borraré de la faz de la tierra,
aunque no destruiré totalmente
la descendencia de Jacob,
—oráculo del Señor—.
9 Voy a ordenar que la casa de Israel
sea zarandeada entre las naciones
como se zarandea [el grano] en la criba,
sin que ni un guijarro caiga al suelo.
10 A filo de espada morirán
todos los pecadores de mi pueblo,
los que dicen: “No se acercará,
no nos alcanzará la desgracia”.
Promesa de restauración
11 Reconstruiré aquel día
la choza caída de David,
repararé sus brechas,
levantaré sus ruinas
y la reconstruiré como antaño,
12 para que posean el resto de Edom,
además de todas las naciones
en las que se ha invocado mi nombre,
—oráculo del Señor, que lo cumplirá—.
13 Llegan días —oráculo del Señor—
en los cuales el que ara
seguirá de cerca al segador
y el que vendimia, al que siembra;
días en que destilarán mosto los montes
y se tambalearán todas las colinas.
14 Cambiaré la suerte de mi pueblo Israel:
reconstruirán las ciudades devastadas
y volverán a habitar en ellas;
plantarán viñas y beberán su vino,
cultivarán huertos y comerán sus frutos.
15 Yo los plantaré en su tierra
y jamás volverán a ser arrancados
de esa tierra que yo les regalé,
—dice el Señor, tu Dios—.

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)

The Destruction of Israel
9 I saw the Lord standing beside[a] the altar, and he said:
(A)“Strike the capitals until (B)the thresholds (C)shake,
(D)and shatter them on the heads of all the people;[b]
and those who are left of them I will kill with the sword;
(E)not one of them shall flee away;
not one of them shall escape.
2 (F)“If they dig into Sheol,
from there shall my hand take them;
(G)if they climb up to heaven,
from there I will bring them down.
3 If they hide themselves on (H)the top of Carmel,
from there I will search them out and take them;
(I)and if they hide from my sight at the bottom of the sea,
there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them.
4 (J)And if they go into captivity before their enemies,
there I will command the sword, and it shall kill them;
(K)and I will fix my eyes upon them
for evil and not for good.”
5 The Lord God of hosts,
he who touches the earth and (L)it melts,
and all who dwell in it mourn,
(M)and all of it rises like the Nile,
(N)and sinks again, like the Nile of Egypt;
6 (O)who builds his upper chambers in the heavens
and founds his vault upon the earth;
(P)who calls for the waters of the sea
and pours them out upon the surface of the earth—
(Q)the Lord is his name.
7 “Are you not like (R)the Cushites to me,
O people of Israel?” declares the Lord.
(S)“Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt,
and (T)the Philistines from (U)Caphtor and the Syrians from (V)Kir?
8 Behold, (W)the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom,
and I will destroy it from the surface of the ground,
(X)except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,”
declares the Lord.
9 “For behold, I will command,
(Y)and shake the house of Israel among all the nations
as one shakes with a sieve,
but no pebble shall fall to the earth.
10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword,
who say, (Z)‘Disaster shall not overtake or meet us.’
The Restoration of Israel
11 “In that day (AA)I will raise up
the booth of David that is fallen
and repair its breaches,
and raise up its ruins
and rebuild it as in the days of old,
12 (AB)that they may possess the remnant of Edom
and (AC)all the nations who are called by my name,”[c]
declares the Lord who does this.
13 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord,
(AD)“when the plowman shall overtake the reaper
and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed;
(AE)the mountains shall drip sweet wine,
and all the hills shall flow with it.
14 (AF)I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel,
and (AG)they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them;
(AH)they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine,
and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 (AI)I will plant them on their land,
(AJ)and they shall never again be uprooted
out of the land (AK)that I have given them,”
says the Lord your God.
