And will [a]sift the house of Israel among all nations,

10 All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword,
(B)Who say, ‘The calamity shall not overtake nor confront us.’

Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be covered;
And this is all the fruit of taking away his sin:
When he makes all the stones of the altar
Like chalkstones that are beaten to dust,
[a]Wooden images and incense altars shall not stand.

10 Yet the fortified city will be (A)desolate,
The habitation forsaken and left like a wilderness;
There the calf will feed, and there it will lie down
And consume its branches.
11 When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off;
The women come and set them on fire.
For (B)it is a people of no understanding;
Therefore He who made them will (C)not have mercy on them,
And (D)He who formed them will show them no favor.

12 And it shall come to pass in that day
That the Lord will thresh,
From the channel of [b]the River to the Brook of Egypt;
And you will be (E)gathered one by one,
O you children of Israel.

13 (F)So it shall be in that day:
(G)The great trumpet will be blown;
They will come, who are about to perish in the land of Assyria,
And they who are outcasts in the land of (H)Egypt,
And shall (I)worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

By this, then, will Jacob’s guilt be atoned(A) for,
    and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin:(B)
When he makes all the altar stones(C)
    to be like limestone crushed to pieces,
no Asherah poles[a](D) or incense altars(E)
    will be left standing.
10 The fortified city stands desolate,(F)
    an abandoned settlement, forsaken(G) like the wilderness;
there the calves graze,(H)
    there they lie down;(I)
    they strip its branches bare.
11 When its twigs are dry, they are broken off(J)
    and women come and make fires(K) with them.
For this is a people without understanding;(L)
    so their Maker has no compassion on them,
    and their Creator(M) shows them no favor.(N)

12 In that day the Lord will thresh(O) from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt,(P) and you, Israel, will be gathered(Q) up one by one. 13 And in that day(R) a great trumpet(S) will sound. Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled(T) in Egypt(U) will come and worship(V) the Lord on the holy mountain(W) in Jerusalem.
