Strongs On/Off
Context
9:6 He builds the upper rooms of his palace in heaven and sets its foundation supports on the earth . He summons the water of the sea and pours it out on the earth’s surface . The Lord is his name .
9:7 “You Israelites are just like the Ethiopians in my sight,” says the Lord . “Certainly I brought Israel up from the land of Egypt , but I also brought the Philistines from Caphtor and the Arameans from Kir .
9:8 Look , the sovereign Lord is watching the sinful nation , and I will destroy it from the face of the earth . But I will not completely destroy the family of Jacob ,” says the Lord .
9:9 “For look , I am giving a command and I will shake the family of Israel together with all the nations . It will resemble a sieve being shaken , when not even a pebble falls to the ground .
9:10 All the sinners among my people will die by the sword – the ones who say , ‘Disaster will not come near , it will not confront us.’
The Restoration of the Davidic Dynasty
9:11 “In that day I will rebuild the collapsing hut of David . I will seal its gaps , repair its ruins , and restore it to what it was like in days gone by .
9:12 As a result they will conquer those left in Edom and all the nations subject to my rule .” The Lord , who is about to do this , is speaking !
9:13 “Be sure of this , the time is coming ,” says the Lord , “when the plowman will catch up to the reaper and the one who stomps the grapes will overtake the planter . Juice will run down the slopes , it will flow down all the hillsides .
9:14 I will bring back my people , Israel ; they will rebuild the cities lying in rubble and settle down . They will plant vineyards and drink the wine they produce ; they will grow orchards and eat the fruit they produce.
9:15 I will plant them on their land and they will never again be uprooted from the land I have given them ,” says the Lord your God .
