Selected Grain by Grain

27At that time GOD will unsheathe his sword, his merciless, massive, mighty sword. He'll punish the serpent Leviathan as it flees, the serpent Leviathan thrashing in flight. He'll kill that old dragon that lives in the sea.H3117H3068H7186H1419H2389H2719H6485H3882H1281H5175H3882H6129H5175H2026H8577H3220 2"At that same time, a fine vineyard will appear. There's something to sing about!H3117H6031H3754H2561H2531 3I, GOD, tend it. I keep it well-watered. I keep careful watch over it so that no one can damage it.H3068H5341H8248H7281H6485H5341H3915H3117 4I'm not angry. I care. Even if it gives me thistles and thornbushes, I'll just pull them out and burn them up.H2534H5414H8068H7898H4421H6585H6702H3162 5Let that vine cling to me for safety, let it find a good and whole life with me, let it hold on for a good and whole life."H2388H4581H6213H7965H6213H7965 6The days are coming when Jacob shall put down roots, Israel blossom and grow fresh branches, and fill the world with its fruit.H935H3290H8327H3478H6692H6524H4390H6440H8398H8570 7Has GOD knocked them to the ground as he knocked down those who hit them? Oh, no. Were they killed as their killers were killed? Again, no.H5221H4347H5221H2026H2027H2026 8He was hard on them all right. The exile was a harsh sentence. He blew them away on a fierce blast of wind.H5432H7971H7378H1898H7186H7307H3117H6921 9But the good news is that through this experience Jacob's guilt was taken away. The evidence that his sin is removed will be this: He will tear down the alien altars, take them apart stone by stone, And then crush the stones into gravel and clean out all the sex-and-religion shrines.H2063H5771H3290H3722H6529H5493H2403H7760H68H4196H1615H5310H842H2553H6965 10For there's nothing left of that pretentious grandeur. Nobody lives there anymore. It's unlivable. But animals do just fine, browsing and bedding down.H1219H5892H910H5116H7971H5800H4057H5695H7462H7257H3615H5585 11And it's not a bad place to get firewood. Dry twigs and dead branches are plentiful. It's the leavings of a people with no sense of God. So, the God who made them Will have nothing to do with them. He who formed them will turn his back on them.H7105H3001H7665H802H935H215H5971H998H6213H7355H3335H2603 12At that time GOD will thresh from the River Euphrates to the Brook of Egypt, And you, people of Israel, will be selected grain by grain.H3117H3068H2251H7641H5104H5158H4714H3950H259H259H1121H3478 13At that same time a great trumpet will be blown, calling home the exiles from Assyria, Welcoming home the refugees from Egypt to come and worship GOD on the holy mountain, Jerusalem.H3117H1419H7782H8628H935H6H776H804H5080H776H4714H7812H3068H6944H2022H3389
