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.

Destruction of the Sanctuary
9 I saw the Lord standing upon the altar, and He said:
Strike the capitals
so that the thresholds shake;
break them off onto the heads of all of them.
Those who remain I will slay with the sword.
Not one of them will get away;
not one fugitive will survive.
2 Though they dig down to Sheol,
from there My hand will capture them;
though they climb up to the heavens,
from there I will bring them down;
3 though they hide on the top of Carmel,
from there I will search and catch them;
though they hide from My sight on the bottom of the sea,
from there will I command the serpent to bite them;
4 and though they go into captivity before their enemies,
from there will I command the sword to slay them.
I will set My eyes upon them
for evil and not for good.
5 The Lord God of Hosts,
He who touches the earth and it melts,
and all who live on it mourn;
it all rises up like the Nile,
and subsides like the river of Egypt;
6 who builds His chambers in the heavens,
and founds His vault over the earth;
who summons the waters of the sea,
and pours them out upon the surface of the earth—
the Lord is His name.
7 Are you not like the Ethiopians to Me,
O children of Israel?
says the Lord.
Did I not bring Israel up from the land of Egypt,
but also the Philistines from Caphtor,
and the Arameans from Kir?
8 The eyes of the Lord God
are upon the sinful kingdom,
and I will destroy it
from off the face of the earth,
though I will not completely destroy
the house of Jacob,
says the Lord.
9 See, I am giving the command,
and I will sift the house of Israel
among all the nations,
as one sifts with a sieve,
and not a pebble falls to the ground.
10 All the sinners of My people
will die by the sword,
those who say,
“Never will disaster reach or overtake us.”
Restoration of the Davidic Kingdom
11 On that day will I raise up
the hut of David that is fallen;
I will close up its breached walls,
raise up its ruins,
and rebuild it as in the days of old;
12 that they may possess the remnant of Edom,
and of all the nations called by My name,
says the Lord who will do this.
13 Indeed, the days are coming, says the Lord,
when the plowman will overtake the one who is reaping,
and the treader of grapes the one who is sowing the seed;
the mountains will drip sweet wine,
and all the hills will flow with it.
14 I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel;
they will rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them;
they will plant vineyards and drink their wine;
they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 I will plant them upon their land,
and no more will they be uprooted
out of their land which I have given them.
The Lord 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)

Vanos recursos para escapar de Dios
9 Vi al Señor que estaba de pie sobre el altar, y dijo: “¡Golpea los capiteles de las columnas y estremézcanse los umbrales! Hazlos pedazos sobre las cabezas de todos ellos, y a sus descendientes los mataré a espada. ¡De ellos no habrá quien se fugue ni escape!
2 “Aunque caven hasta el Seol, de allá los tomará mi mano. Si suben hasta los cielos, de allá los haré bajar. 3 Si se esconden en la cumbre del Carmelo, allí los buscaré y los tomaré. Aunque se escondan de mis ojos en el fondo del mar, allí mandaré la serpiente y los morderá. 4 Aunque vayan cautivos delante de sus enemigos, allí mandaré la espada que los matará. Sobre ellos pondré mis ojos para mal y no para bien”.
5 El SEÑOR Dios[a] de los Ejércitos es el que toca la tierra y ella se derrite. Hacen duelo todos los que habitan en ella. Toda la tierra sube como el Nilo y luego merma como el Nilo de Egipto. 6 Él edifica su morada en los cielos y pone en la tierra los cimientos de su firmamento. Convoca las aguas del mar y las derrama sobre la faz de la tierra. ¡El SEÑOR es su nombre!
Israel no escapará del juicio divino
7 “Oh hijos de Israel, ¿acaso no son para mí como los hijos de los etíopes?, dice el SEÑOR. ¿No hice yo subir a Israel de la tierra de Egipto, a los filisteos de Caftor y a los sirios de Quir? 8 He aquí, los ojos del SEÑOR Dios[b] están contra el reino pecador. Yo lo destruiré de sobre la faz de la tierra, pero no destruiré del todo a la casa de Jacob, dice el SEÑOR. 9 Pues he aquí que yo mandaré y haré que la casa de Israel sea sacudida entre las naciones, como se sacude en un harnero sin que caiga a tierra un solo grano. 10 Pero a espada morirán todos los pecadores de mi pueblo que dicen: ‘No se acercará ni nos alcanzará el desastre’.
Restauración de Judá y de Israel
11 “En aquel día levantaré la cabaña caída de David y cerraré sus brechas. Reconstruiré sus ruinas y lo edificaré como en el tiempo pasado, 12 para que posean lo que quede de Edom y de todos los pueblos sobre los cuales es invocado mi nombre, dice el SEÑOR que hace esto.
13 “He aquí que vienen días, dice el SEÑOR, cuando el que ara alcanzará al que siega y el que pisa las uvas al que lleva la semilla; las montañas gotearán vino nuevo y todas las colinas se derretirán. 14 Pues restauraré de la cautividad a mi pueblo Israel, y ellos edificarán las ciudades desoladas y las habitarán. Plantarán viñas y beberán del vino de ellas; plantarán huertos y comerán de sus frutos. 15 Pues los plantaré en su tierra y nunca más serán arrancados de la tierra que yo les di”, ha dicho el SEÑOR tu Dios.
