CAP. IX.

[verse 1] I saw the Lord stondynge on the auter, and he saide, Smyte thou the herre, and be the ouer thrisfoldis moued to gydre; forsothe auerice in the hed of alle, and Y shal slea in swerd the last of hem; ther [and ther K.] shal no fliȝt be to hem, and he that shal flee of hem, shal not be saued. [verse 2] Ȝif thei shuln go doun vn to helle, fro thennus my hond shal leede hem out; and ȝif thei shuln stye til in to heuen, fro thennus Y shal drawe hem doun. [verse 3] And ȝif thei shuln be hid in the top of Carmele, fro thennus Y seekynge shal do hem awey; and ȝif thei shuln hyde hem self fro myn eeȝen in depnesse of the see, ther Y shal comaunde to a serpent, and it shal bite hem. [verse 4] And ȝif thei shuln go awey in to caitiftee bifore her enmyes, ther Y shal comaunde to swerd, and it shal slea hem. And Y shal putte myn eeȝen vpon hem in to yuel, and not in to good. [verse 5] And the Lord God of oostis, that toucheth erthe, and it shal fayle, and alle men dwellynge theryn shuln mourne; and it shal stye vp as eche stronde, and shal fleete awey [Om. A.] as

the flood of Egypt. [verse 6] He that beeldith his stying vp in heuen, and foundide his knytche, or berthen, on erthe; whiche clepith waters of the see, and heeldith hem out on face of the erthe; the Lord name of hym. [verse 7] Wher not as sonys of Ethiopyens ȝe ben to me, the sonys of Yrael? saith the Lord God. Wher Y made not Yrael for to stye vp of the lond of Egypt, and Palistens of Capa|docie, and Siriens of Syrenen? [verse 8] Loo! the eeȝen of the Lord God on rewme syn|nynge, and Y shal to gydre breke it fro face of the erthe; netheles Y brekynge togidere shal not breke to gydre the hous of Jacob, saith the Lord. [verse 9] Loo! sotheli Y shal comaunde, and shal smyte in alle folkis the hous of Yrael, as whete is smyten in a rydil, and a lytil stoon of it shal not falle on erthe. [verse 10] Alle synners of my people shal dye in swerde, whiche sayn, Yuel shal not neiȝ, and shal not cumme on vs. [verse 11] In that day Y shal rayse the tabernacle of Dauid, that felle doun, and Y shal aȝein beelde opnyngis of wallis therof, and Y shal instore tho thingis that fellen to gydre; and Y shal [verse 12] aȝein beelde hym, as in olde days, that thei weelde relikis of Ydome, and alle naciouns; for that my name is in clepid on hem, saith the Lord doynge these thingus. [verse 13] Loo! days cummen, saith the Lord, and the erer shal cacche the reper, and treder of grape the man sendynge seed; and mounteyns shuln droppe swet|nesse, and alle smale hyllis shuln be tiliȝid. [verse 14] And Y shal conuerte the caytifte of my peple Yrael, and thei shuln beelde forsaken cytees, and shuln dwelle; and shuln plaunte vyne ȝerdis, and thei shuln drinke wyne of hem; and thei shuln make gardyns, and shuln ete fruytis of hem. [verse 15] And Y shal plante hem on her erthe, and

Y shal namore drawe hem out of her lond, whiche Y ȝaue to hem, saith the Lord thi [Om. AK pr. m.] God.
