<04725>

whither ye have sold

them, and will return
<07725> (8689)

your recompence
<01576>

upon your own head
<07218>_:

And I will sell
<04376> (8804)

your sons
<01121>

and your daughters
<01323>

into the hand
<03027>

of the children
<01121>

and they shall sell
<04376> (8804)

them to the Sabeans
<07615>_,

to a people
<01471>

<01696> (8765)

[it].

3:9

Prepare
<06942> (8761)

war
<04421>_,

wake up

Beat
<03807> (8798)

your plowshares
<0855>

<03427> (8799)

to judge
<08199> (8800)

all the heathen

round about
<05439>_.

is ripe

come
<0935> (8798)_,

get you down
<03381> (8798)_;

for the press
<01660>

<04390> (8804)_,

the fats

overflow
<07783> (8689)_;

and utter
<05414> (8799)

his voice
<06963>

from Jerusalem
<03389>_;

and the heavens

in Zion
<06726>_,

my holy
<06944>

and all the rivers
<0650>

of Judah
<03063>

and a fountain
<04599>

shall come forth
<03318> (8799)
