9.6 :And poureth them out upon the face of the earth;
 * The is His name.


 * Are ye not as the children of the Ethiopians unto Me,
 * O children of Israel? saith the.
 * Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt,
 * And the Philistines from Caphtor,
 * And Aram from Kir?
 * Behold, the eyes of the Lord

 * Like as corn is sifted in a sieve,
 * Yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.
 * All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword,

 * And the mountains shall drop sweet wine,
 * And all the hills shall melt.
 * And I will turn the captivity of My people Israel,
 * And they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them;
 * And they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof;
 * They shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
 * And I will plant them upon their land,
 * And they shall no more be plucked up
 * Out of their land which I have given them,
 * Saith the thy God.
