Lexicon :: Strong's G3039 - likmaō

“Now isn’t Boaz our relative? Haven’t you been working with his female servants? This evening he will be winnowing barley on the threshing floor.

An east wind picks him up, and he is gone;

it carries him away from his place.

The nations rage like the rumble of a huge torrent.

He rebukes them, and they flee far away,

driven before the wind like chaff on the hills

and like tumbleweeds before a gale.

Then you will defile your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away like menstrual cloths, and call them filth.

The oxen and donkeys that work the ground will eat salted fodder scattered with winnowing shovel and fork.

You will winnow them

and a wind will carry them away,

a whirlwind will scatter them.

But you will rejoice in the LORD;

you will boast in the Holy One of Israel.

Nations, hear the word of the LORD,

and tell it among the far off coasts and islands!

Say, “The one who scattered Israel will gather him.

He will watch over him as a shepherd guards his flock,

Their camels will become plunder,

and their massive herds of cattle will become spoil.

I will scatter them to the wind in every direction,

those who clip the hair on their temples;

I will bring calamity on them across all their borders.

This is the LORD’s declaration.

“They will destroy the walls of Tyre and demolish her towers. I will scrape the soil from her and turn her into a bare rock.

I will make the land of Egypt a desolation among[fn] desolate lands, and its cities will be a desolation among[fn] ruined cities for forty years. I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.

“I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them among the countries.

“When I disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them among the countries, they will know that I am the LORD.”

“I dispersed them among the nations, and they were scattered among the countries. I judged them according to their conduct and actions.

“In the days of those kings, the God of the heavens will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, and this kingdom will not be left to another people. It will crush all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, but will itself endure forever.

for I am about to give the command,

and I will shake the house of Israel

among all the nations,

as one shakes a sieve,

but not a pebble will fall to the ground.
