The certainty of the desolation of Israel: the restoring of the tabernacle of David, and the conversion of the Gentiles to the church; which shall flourish for ever.

 1 I saw the Lord standing upon the altar, and he said: Strike the hinges, and let the lintels be shook: for there is covetousness in the head of them all, and I will slay the last of them with the sword: there shall be no flight for them: they shall flee, and he that shall flee of them shall not be delivered.
Vidi Dominum stantem super altare, et dixit : Percute cardinem, et commoveantur superliminaria : avaritia enim in capite omnium, et novissimum eorum in gladio interficiam; non erit fuga eis. Fugient, et non salvabitur ex eis qui fugerit.

 2 Though they go down even to hell, thence shall my hand bring them out: and though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down.
Si descenderint usque ad infernum, inde manus mea educet eos; et si ascenderint usque in caelum, inde detraham eos.

 3 And though they be hid in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them away from thence: and though they hide themselves from my eyes in the depth of the sea, there will I command the serpent and he shall bite them.
Et si absconditi fuerint in vertice Carmeli, inde scrutans auferam eos; et si celaverint se ab oculis meis in profundo maris, ibi mandabo serpenti, et mordebit eos.

 4 And if they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall kill them. And I will set my eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
Et si abierint in captivitatem coram inimicis suis, ibi mandabo gladio, et occidet eos : et ponam oculos meos super eos in malum, et non in bonum.

 5 And the Lord the God of hosts is he who toucheth the earth, and it shall melt: and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up as a river, and shall run down as the river of Egypt.
Et Dominus Deus exercituum, qui tangit terram, et tabescet, et lugebunt omnes habitantes in ea : et ascendet sicut rivus omnis, et defluet sicut fluvius Aegypti.

 6 He that buildeth his ascension in heaven, and hath founded his bundle upon the earth: who calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth, the Lord is his name.
Qui aedificat in caelo ascensionem suam, et fasciculum suum super terram fundavit; qui vocat aquas maris, et effundit eas super faciem terrae : Dominus nomen ejus.

 7 Are not you as the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel, saith the Lord? did not I bring up Israel, out of the land of Egypt: and the Philistines out of Cappadocia, and the Syrians out of Cyrene?
Numquid non ut filii Aethiopum vos estis mihi, filii Israel? ait Dominus. Numquid non Israel ascendere feci de terra Aegypti, et Palaestinos de Cappadocia, et Syros de Cyrene?

 8 Behold the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth: but yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.
Ecce oculi Domini Dei super regnum peccans : et conteram illud a facie terrae; verumtamen conterens non conteram domum Jacob, dicit Dominus.

 9 For behold I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, as corn is sifted in a sieve: and there shall not a little stone fall to the ground.
Ecce enim mandabo ego, et concutiam in omnibus gentibus domum Israel, sicut concutitur triticum in cribro, et non cadet lapillus super terram.

 10 All the sinners of my people shall fall by the sword: who say: The evils shall not approach, and shall not come upon us.
In gladio morientur omnes peccatores populi mei, qui dicunt : Non appropinquabit, et non veniet super nos malum.

 11 In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, that is fallen: and I will close up the breaches of the walls thereof, and repair what was fallen: and I will rebuild it as in the days of old.
In die illa suscitabo tabernaculum David, quod cecidit : et reaedificabo aperturas murorum ejus, et ea quae corruerant instaurabo : et reaedificabo illud sicut in diebus antiquis,

 12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all nations, because my name is invoked upon them: saith the Lord that doth these things.
ut possideant reliquias Idumaeae, et omnes nationes : eo quod invocatum sit nomen meum super eos, dicit Dominus faciens haec.

 13 Behold the days come, saith the Lord, when the ploughman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed: and the mountains shall drop sweetness, and every hill shall be tilled.
Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et comprehendet arator messorem, et calcator uvae mittentem semen : et stillabunt montes dulcedinem, et omnes colli culti erunt.

 14 And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel: and they shall build the abandoned cities, and inhabit them: and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine of them: and shall make gardens, and eat the fruits of them. And I will plant them upon their own land: and I will no more pluck them out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.
Et convertam captivitatem populi mei Israel; et aedificabunt civitates desertas, et inhabitabunt; et plantabunt vineas, et bibent vinum earum, et facient hortos, et comedent fructus eorum. Et plantabo eos super humum suam, et non evellam eos ultra de terra sua, quam dedi eis, dicit Dominus Deus tuus.
