3:1 Listen, you Israelites, to this message which the Lord is proclaiming against
8:3 The women singing in the temple
The sovereign Lord is speaking.
“There will be many corpses littered everywhere!
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.
9:12 As a result they
and all the nations subject to my rule.”
The Lord, who is about to do this, is speaking!
9:13 “Be sure of this,
“when the plowman will catch up to the reaper
and the one who stomps the grapes
Juice will run down the slopes,
it will flow down all the hillsides.
