'Country' in the Bible
They are coming from a far country,From the farthest horizons,The Lord and His instruments of indignation,To destroy the whole land.
“You will not be united with them in burial,Because you have ruined your country,You have slain your people.May the offspring of evildoers not be mentioned forever.
And roll you tightly like a ball,To be cast into a vast country;There you will dieAnd there your splendid chariots will be,You shame of your master’s house.’
Each will be like a refuge from the windAnd a shelter from the storm,Like streams of water in a dry country,Like the shade of a huge rock in a parched land.
Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, “What did these men say, and from where have they come to you?” And Hezekiah said, “They have come to me from a far country, from Babylon.”
Calling a bird of prey from the east,The man of My purpose from a far country.Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass.I have planned it, surely I will do it.
