of Samaria, and that say, Thy God, O Dan, liueth, that the plowman shall touche the mower, and
and the maner of Beer-sheba liueth, euen they the treader of grapes him that soweth seede: and
shall fall, and neuer rise vp againe. the mountaines shall drop sweete wine, and all

the captiuitie of my people of Israel: and they
1 I sawe the Lord standing vpon the altar, and shall build the waste cities, and inhabite the, and
he sayde, Smite the lintel of the doore, that the they shall plant vineyardes, and drinke the wine
postes may shake: and cut them in pieces, euen thereof: they shall also make gardens, and eate
the heads of them all, and I will slay the last of the fruites of them. 15 And I wil plant them vpon
them with the sword: he that fleeth of them, shall their land, and they shall no more bee pulled
not flee away: and he that escapeth of them, shall vp againe out of their lande, which I haue giuen

hell, thence shall mine hande take them: though
they clime vp to heauen, thence will I bring them
downe. 3 And though they hide them selues in
the toppe of Carmel, I will search and take them
out thence: and though they be hid from my
sight in the bottome of the sea, thence will I
commande the serpent, and he shall bite them.
4 And though they goe into captiuitie before their

God of hosts shall touch the land, and it shall melt
away, and al that dwel therein shall mourne, and
it shall rise vp wholy like a flood, and shall bee

Israel among all nations, like as corne is sifted in
a sieue: yet shall not the least stone fall vpon the
earth. 10 But all the sinners of my people shall
dye by the sword, which say, The euill shall not
come, nor hasten for vs. 11 In that day will I raise
vp the tabernacle of Dauid, that is fallen downe,
and close vp the breaches therof, and I will rayse
vp his ruines, and I will builde it, as in the dayes
of olde, 12 That they may possesse the remnant of
