hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the
LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

scorching wind He will
sweep His hand over the Euphrates. He will split it into seven streams for men to cross with dry
sandals.

captives, whose
captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

hired worker counts the years, Moab’s
splendor will become an object of contempt, with all her many people. And those who are left will be few and feeble.”

shaking of an olive tree, two or three
berries in the top of the
uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the
LORD God of Israel.

berries atop the tree, four or five on its fruitful branches,” declares the
LORD, the God of Israel.
For so the
LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of
dew in the heat of harvest.

LORD has told me: “I will quietly look on from My dwelling place, like
shimmering heat in the
sunshine, like a cloud of
dew in the heat of harvest.”
