NowIn it came to pass in the thirtieth year in the fourth month inon the fifth day of the month as I was among the captivesexiles by the river Chebar that the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God |
| 1:2 |
InOn the fifth day of the month whichit was the fifth year of kingthe Jehoiachinsexile captivityof King Jehoi′achin |
| 1:3 |
the word of Jehovahthe Lord came expresslyto unto Ezekiel the priest the son of Buzi in the land of the ChaldeansChalde′ans by the river Chebar; and the hand of Jehovahthe Lord was there upon him there |
| 1:4 |
AndAs I looked and behold a stormy wind came out of the north and a great cloud with abrightness fireround infoldingabout itselfit and afire brightnessflashing roundforth aboutcontinually it and outin the midst of the midstfire thereof as it were glowinggleaming metalbronze out of the midst of the fire |
| 1:5 |
And outfrom of the midst thereofof it came the likeness of four living creatures And this was their appearance: they had the likenessform of amen man; |
| 1:6 |
andbut everyeach one had four faces and everyeach one of them had four wings |
| 1:7 |
AndTheir theirlegs feet were straight feet; and the solesoles of their feet waswere like the sole of a calfs foot; and they sparkled like burnished brassbronze |
| 1:8 |
AndUnder they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they had human hands And the four had their faces and their wings thus: |
| 1:9 |
their wings weretouched joined one to another; they turnedwent notevery whenone theystraight went;forward theywithout wentturning everyas onethey straightwent forward |
| 1:10 |
As for the likeness of their faces theyeach had the face of a man in front; andthe they four had the face of a lion on the right side; andthe they four had the face of an ox on the left side; theyand the four had also the face of an eagle at the back |
| 1:11 |
AndSuch were their faces andAnd their wings were separatespread out above; each creature had two wings each of everywhich onetouched werethe joinedwing oneof to another andwhile two covered their bodies |
| 1:12 |
And theyeach went every one straight forward:; whitherwherever the spirit waswould to go they went; theywithout turnedturning notas when they went |
| 1:13 |
AsIn for the likenessmidst of the living creatures theirthere appearance was something that looked like burning coals of fire like the appearance of torches: themoving fireto went up and downfro among the living creatures; and the fire was bright and out of the fire went forth lightning |
| 1:14 |
And the living creatures randarted to and returnedfro aslike the appearance of a flash of lightning |
| 1:15 |
Now as I beheldlooked at the living creatures beholdI onesaw a wheel upon the earth beside the living creatures one for each of the four facesof thereofthem |
| 1:16 |
TheAs for the appearance of the wheels and their workconstruction: their appearance was like untothe gleaming of a beryl:chrysolite; and theythe four had onethe same likeness; and their appearanceconstruction andbeing their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel |
| 1:17 |
When they went they went in any of their four directions: theywithout turnedturning notas when they went |
| 1:18 |
AsThe forfour theirwheels had rims and they werehad high and dreadfulspokes; and they four had their rims were full of eyes round about |
| 1:19 |
And when the living creatures went the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures wererose lifted up from the earth the wheels wererose lifted up |
| 1:20 |
WhithersoeverWherever the spirit waswould to go they went; thither was the spirit to go: and the wheels wererose liftedalong upwith beside them; for the spirit of the living creaturecreatures was in the wheels |
| 1:21 |
When those went these went; and when those stood these stood; and when those wererose lifted up from the earth the wheels wererose liftedalong upwith beside them:; for the spirit of the living creaturecreatures was in the wheels |
| 1:22 |
AndOver over the headheads of the living creaturecreatures there was the likeness of a firmament shining like the terrible crystal tospread lookout uponabove stretched forth over their heads above |
| 1:23 |
And under the firmament were their wings straightwere thestretched oneout towardstraight the other: every one hadtoward twoanother; which covered on this side and everyeach onecreature had two whichwings coveredcovering onits thatbody side their bodies |
| 1:24 |
And when they went I heard the noisesound of their wings like the noisesound of greatmany waters like the voicethunder of the Almighty a noisesound of tumult like the noisesound of a host:; when they stood still they let down their wings |
| 1:25 |
And there wascame a voice from above the firmament that was over their heads:; when they stood still they let down their wings |
| 1:26 |
And above the firmament that was over their heads there was the likeness of a throne asin the appearance oflike a sapphire stone; and uponseated above the likeness of thea throne was a likeness as theit appearancewere of a manhuman uponform it above |
| 1:27 |
And Iupward sawfrom aswhat ithad werethe glowingappearance metalof ashis theloins appearanceI ofsaw fireas within it roundwere aboutgleaming frombronze like the appearance of hisfire loinsenclosed andround upwardabout; and downward from what had the appearance of his loins and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire and there was brightness round about him |
| 1:28 |
AsLike the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud inon the day of rain so was the appearance of the brightness round about ThisSuch was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Jehovahthe Lord And when I saw it I fell upon my face and I heard athe voice of one that spakespeaking |
| 2:1 |
And he said untoto me Son of man stand upon thyyour feet and I will speak with theeyou |
| 2:2 |
And thewhen Spirithe enteredspoke intoto me whenthe heSpirit spakeentered untointo me and set me upon my feet; and I heard him thatspeaking spaketo unto me |
| 2:3 |
And he said untoto me Son of man I send theeyou to the childrenpeople of Israel to nationsa thatnation areof rebelliousrebels whichwho have rebelled against me:; they and their fathers have transgressed against me evento unto this very day |
| 2:4 |
AndThe thepeople childrenalso are impudent and stiffheartedstubborn: I do send theeyou untoto them; and thouyou shaltshall say untoto them Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod |
| 2:5 |
And they whether they will hear or whetherrefuse theyto willhear forbear for they are a rebellious house yetthey shallwill know that there hathhas been a prophet among them |
| 2:6 |
And thouyou son of man be not afraid of them neithernor be afraid of their words though briers and thorns are with theeyou and thouyou dostsit dwellupon among scorpions:; be not afraid of their words nor be dismayed at their looks thoughfor they are a rebellious house |
| 2:7 |
And thouyou shaltshall speak my words untoto them whether they will hear or whetherrefuse theyto will forbearhear; for they are mosta rebellious house |
| 2:8 |
But thouyou son of man hear what I say untoto theeyou; be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house:; open thyyour mouth and eat thatwhat which I give theeyou |
| 2:9 |
And when I looked behold a hand was putstretched forthout untoto me; and lo a rollwritten ofscroll awas bookin was thereinit; |
| 2:10 |
and he spread it before me:; and it washad writtenwriting withinon the front and without;on the back and there were written thereinon lamentationsit words of lamentation and mourning and woe |
| 3:1 |
And he said untoto me Son of man eat thatwhat whichis thouoffered findestto you; eat this rollscroll and go speak untoto the house of Israel |
| 3:2 |
So I opened my mouth and he causedgave me the scroll to eat the roll |
| 3:3 |
And he said untoto me Son of man causeeat thythis bellyscroll tothat eatI give you and fill thyyour bowelsstomach with thisit roll that I give thee Then did I eatate it; and it was in my mouth as honeysweet foras sweetnesshoney |
| 3:4 |
And he said untoto me Son of man go get theeyou untoto the house of Israel and speak with my words untoto them |
| 3:5 |
For thouyou artare not sent to a people of aforeign strange speech and of a hard language but to the house of Israel;— |
| 3:6 |
not to many peoples of aforeign strange speech and of a hard language whose words thouyou canstcannot not understand Surely if I sent theeyou to themsuch they would hearkenlisten untoto theeyou |
| 3:7 |
But the house of Israel will not hearkenlisten untoto theeyou; for they willare not hearkenwilling untoto listen to me:; forbecause all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and of a stiffstubborn heart |
| 3:8 |
Behold I have made thyyour face hard against their faces and thyyour forehead hard against their foreheads |
| 3:9 |
AsLike an adamant harder than flint have I made thyyour forehead:; fear them not neithernor be dismayed at their looks thoughfor they are a rebellious house |
| 3:10 |
Moreover he said untoto me Son of man all my words that I shall speak untoto theeyou receive in thyyour heart and hear with thineyour ears |
| 3:11 |
And go get theeyou to them of the captivityexiles untoto theyour children of thy people and speaksay untoto them and tell them Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod; whether they will hear or whetherrefuse theyto will forbearhear |
| 3:12 |
Then the Spirit lifted me up and Ias heardthe behindglory meof the voiceLord ofarose afrom greatits rushingplace sayingI Blessedheard bebehind me the glorysound of Jehovaha fromgreat hisearthquake; place |
| 3:13 |
Andit Iwas heard the noisesound of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another and the noisesound of the wheels beside them eventhat thesounded noiselike of a great rushingearthquake |
| 3:14 |
SoThe the Spirit lifted me up and took me away; and I went in bitterness in the heat of my spirit; and the hand of Jehovahthe wasLord being strong upon me; |
| 3:15 |
Thenand I came to them of the captivityexiles at Tel abib thatwho dwelt by the river Chebar andAnd to where they dwelt; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days |
| 3:16 |
And it came to pass at the end of seven days that the word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto me: saying |
| 3:17 |
Son of man I have made theeyou a watchman untofor the house of Israel:; thereforewhenever you hear thea word atfrom my mouth andyou shall give them warning from me |
| 3:18 |
WhenIf I say untoto the wicked ThouYou shaltshall surely die; and thouyou givestgive him notno warning nor speakestspeak to warn the wicked from his wicked way in order to save his life; thethat same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will I require at thyyour hand |
| 3:19 |
YetBut if thouyou warn the wicked and he turndoes not turn from his wickedness noror from his wicked way he shall die in his iniquity; but thouyou hastwill deliveredhave thysaved soulyour life |
| 3:20 |
Again whenif a righteous man dothturns turn from his righteousness and commitcommits iniquity and I lay a stumblingblockstumbling block before him he shall die:; because thouyou hasthave not givenwarned him warning he shall die infor his sin and his righteous deeds which he hathhas done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will I require at thyyour hand |
| 3:21 |
Nevertheless if thouyou warn the righteous man thatnot theto righteous sin not and he dothdoes not sin he shall surely live because he took warning; and thouyou hastwill deliveredhave thysaved soulyour life |
| 3:22 |
And the hand of Jehovahthe Lord was there upon me; and he said untoto me Arise go forth into the plain and there I will therespeak talk with theeyou |
| 3:23 |
ThenSo I arose and went forth into the plain:; and beholdlo the glory of Jehovahthe Lord stood there aslike the glory which I sawhad seen by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face |
| 3:24 |
ThenBut the Spirit entered into me and set me upon my feet; and he spakespoke with me and said untoto me Go shut thyselfyourself within thyyour house |
| 3:25 |
ButAnd thouyou O son of man behold theycords shallwill laybe bandsplaced upon theeyou and you shall bindbe theebound with them andso thouthat shaltyou notcannot go out among them:the people; |
| 3:26 |
and I will make thyyour tongue cleave to the roof of thyyour mouth so that thouyou shaltshall be dumb and shaltunable notto bereprove to them a reprover; for they are a rebellious house |
| 3:27 |
But when I speak with theeyou I will open thyyour mouth and thouyou shaltshall say untoto them Thus saithsays the Lord Jehovah:God; Hehe that hearethwill hear let him hear; and he that forbearethwill refuse to hear let him forbear:refuse; for they are a rebellious house |

And Jehovahthe Lord said EvenThus thus shall the childrenpeople of Israel eat their bread unclean among the nations whither I will drive them |
| 4:14 |
Then I said I Ah Lord JehovahGod behold myI soulhave hathnever notdefiled been pollutedmyself; for from my youth up even till now I have Inever not eaten ofwhat thatdied which dieth of itself or iswas torn ofby beasts; neithernor camehas therefoul abominable flesh come into my mouth |

Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: This is Jerusalem; I have set her in the midstcenter of the nations andwith countries are round about her |
| 5:6 |
And she hathhas wickedly rebelled against minemy ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations and against my statutes more than the countries that are round about her; forby theyrejecting havemy rejected mine ordinances and asnot forwalking in my statutes they have not walked in them |
| 5:7 |

And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked behold there was a hole in the wall |
| 8:8 |
Then said he untoto me Son of man dig now in the wall:; and when I haddug digged in the wall beholdlo there was a door |
| 8:9 |
And he said untoto me Go in and see the wickedvile abominations that they doare committing here |
| 8:10 |
So I went in and saw; and beholdthere everyportrayed formupon the wall round about were all kinds of creeping things and abominableloathsome beasts and all the idols of the house of Israel portrayed upon the wall round about |
| 8:11 |
And there stood before them stood seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel; andwith inJa theazani′ah midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan everystanding manamong withthem Each had his censer in his hand; and the odorsmoke of the cloud of incense went up |
| 8:12 |
Then he said heto unto me Son of man hasthave thouyou seen what the elders of the house of Israel doare doing in the dark every man in his chambersroom of imagerypictures forFor they say JehovahThe seethLord usdoes not; Jehovahsee hathus the Lord has forsaken the land |
| 8:13 |
He said also untoto me ThouYou shaltwill again see yetstill othergreater great abominations which they docommit |
| 8:14 |
Then he brought me to the doorentrance of the north gate of Jehovahsthe house whichof was toward the northLord; and behold there sat the women weeping for Tammuz |
| 8:15 |
Then he said heto unto me HastHave thouyou seen this O son of man thouYou shaltwill again see yetstill greater abominations than these |
| 8:16 |
And he brought me into the inner court of Jehovahsthe house of the Lord; and behold at the door of the temple of Jehovahthe Lord between the porch and the altar were about twenty five and twenty men with their backs towardto the temple of Jehovahthe Lord and their faces toward the east; andworshiping they were worshipping the sun toward the east |
| 8:17 |
Then he said untoto me HastHave thouyou seen this O son of man Is it too slight a light thing tofor the house of Judah thatto they commit the abominations which they commit here forthat they haveshould filledfill the land with violence and have turned again to provoke me further to anger: andLo lo they put the branch to their nose |
| 8:18 |
Therefore will I alsowill deal in wrath; minemy eye shallwill not spare neithernor will I have pity; and though they cry in minemy ears with a loud voice yetI will I not hear them |
| 9:1 |
Then he cried in minemy ears with a loud voice saying CauseDraw yenear themyou thatexecutioners haveof charge over the city toeach draw near every man with his destroying weapon in his hand |
| 9:2 |
And beholdlo six men came from the waydirection of the upper gate which liethfaces toward the north every man with his weapon for slaughter weapon in his hand; and onewith manthem inwas thea midstman of them clothed in linen with a writerswriting inkhorncase byat his side And they went in and stood beside the brazenbronze altar |
| 9:3 |
AndNow the glory of the God of Israel washad gone up from the cherubcherubim whereuponon which it wasrested to the threshold of the house:; and he called to the man clothed in linen who had the writerswriting inkhorncase byat his side |
| 9:4 |
And Jehovahthe Lord said untoto him Go through the midst of the city through the midst of Jerusalem and setput a mark upon the foreheads of the men thatwho sigh and thatgroan cry over all the abominations that are donecommitted in theit midst thereof |
| 9:5 |
And to the others he said in my hearing GoPass ye through the city after him and smite:; let not your eye shall not spare neitherand haveyou yeshall show no pity; |
| 9:6 |
slay utterly the old manmen theoutright young manmen and themaidens virgin and little children and women; but cometouch notno nearone any man upon whom is the mark: andAnd begin at my sanctuary ThenSo they began atwith the oldelders menwho that were before the house |
| 9:7 |
AndThen he said untoto them Defile the house and fill the courts with the slain: goGo ye forth AndSo they went forth and smote in the city |
| 9:8 |
And it came to pass while they were smiting and I was left thatalone I fell upon my face and cried and said Ah Lord JehovahGod wilt thou destroy all thethat residueremains of Israel in thythe pouringoutpouring out of thy wrath upon Jerusalem |
| 9:9 |
Then he said heto unto me The iniquityguilt of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingexceedingly great; and the land is full of blood and the city full of wrestinginjustice; of judgment: for they say JehovahThe hathLord has forsaken the land and Jehovahthe seethLord does not see |
| 9:10 |
AndAs as for me alsomy mine eye shallwill not spare neithernor will I have pity but I will bringrequite their waydeeds upon their head heads |
| 9:11 |
And beholdlo the man clothed in linen whowith had the inkhornwriting bycase at his side reportedbrought theback matterword saying I have done as thou hastdidst commandedcommand me |
| 10:1 |
Then I looked and behold inon the firmament that was over the headheads of the cherubim there appeared above them assomething itlike were a sapphire stonein asform theresembling appearance of the likeness of a throne |
| 10:2 |
And he spakesaid untoto the man clothed in linen and said Go in betweenamong the whirling wheels evenunderneath under the cherubcherubim; and fill bothyour thy hands with burning coals of fire from between the cherubim and scatter them over the city And he went in inbefore my sighteyes |
| 10:3 |
Now the cherubim stoodwere standing on the rightsouth side of the house when the man went in; and thea cloud filled the inner court |
| 10:4 |
And the glory of Jehovahthe mountedLord went up from the cherubcherubim andto stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud and the court was full of the brightness of Jehovahsthe glory of the Lord |
| 10:5 |
And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard evenas tofar as the outer court aslike the voice of God Almighty when he speaketh speaks |
| 10:6 |
And it came to pass when he commanded the man clothed in linen saying Take fire from between the whirling wheels from between the cherubim that he went in and stood beside a wheel |
| 10:7 |
And thea cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim untoto the fire that was between the cherubim and took thereofsome of it and put it into the hands of himthe thatman was clothed in linen who took it and went out |
| 10:8 |
AndThe therecherubim appeared into thehave cherubim the form of a manshuman hand under their wings |
| 10:9 |
And I looked and behold there were four wheels beside the cherubim one wheel beside oneeach cherub and another wheel beside another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like untosparkling achrysolite beryl stone |
| 10:10 |
And as for their appearance theythe four had onethe same likeness as if a wheel hadwere been within a wheel |
| 10:11 |
When they went they went in any of their four directions: theywithout turnedturning not as they went but toin thewhatever placedirection whither the headfront lookedwheel theyfaced followedthe it;others theyfollowed turnedwithout notturning as they went |
| 10:12 |
And their wholerims body and their backsspokes and their hands and their wings and the wheels were full of eyes round about even —the wheels that theythe four of them had |
| 10:15 |
And the cherubim mounted up: thisThese iswere the living creaturecreatures that I saw by the river Chebar |
| 10:16 |
And when the cherubim went the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth the wheels alsodid turned not turn from beside them |
| 10:17 |
When they stood still these stood; still and when they mounted up these mounted up with them:; for the spirit of the living creaturecreatures was in them |
| 10:18 |
AndThen the glory of Jehovahthe Lord went forth from over the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubim |
| 10:19 |
And the cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight whenas they went forth andwith the wheels beside them:; and they stood at the door of the east gate of Jehovahsthe house of the Lord; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above |
| 10:20 |
ThisThese iswere the living creaturecreatures that I saw underunderneath the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim |
| 10:21 |
EveryEach one had four faces and everyeach one four wings; and theunderneath likenesstheir ofwings the handssemblance of ahuman manhands was under their wings |
| 10:22 |
And as for the likeness of their faces they were the very faces whichwhose appearance I sawhad seen by the river Chebar theirThey appearances and themselves; they went every one straight forward |
| 11:1 |
MoreoverThe the Spirit lifted me up and brought me untoto the east gate of Jehovahsthe house of the Lord which lookethfaces eastward:east andAnd behold at the door of the gategateway fivethere andwere twenty five men; and I saw inamong thethem midstJa ofazani′ah them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur and PelatiahPelati′ah the son of BenaiahBenai′ah princes of the people |
| 11:2 |
And he said untoto me Son of man these are the men thatwho devise iniquity and thatwho give wicked counsel in this city; |
| 11:3 |
thatwho say The time is not near to build houses:; this city is the caldron and we are the flesh |
| 11:5 |
And the Spirit of Jehovahthe Lord fell upon me and he said untoto me SpeakSay Thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord: ThusSo haveyou yethink said O house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind |
| 11:6 |
YeYou have multiplied your slain in this city and ye have filled theits streets thereof with the slain |
| 11:7 |
Therefore thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: Your slain whom yeyou have laid in the midst of it they are the flesh and this city is the caldron; but yeyou shall be brought forth out of the midst of it |
| 11:8 |
YeYou have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword upon you saithsays the Lord JehovahGod |
| 11:9 |
And I will bring you forth out of the midst thereofof it and delivergive you into the hands of strangersforeigners and will execute judgments amongupon you |
| 11:10 |
YeYou shall fall by the sword; I will judge you inat the border of Israel; and yeyou shall know that I am Jehovahthe Lord |
| 11:11 |
This city shall not be your caldron neithernor shall yeyou be the flesh in the midst thereofof it; I will judge you inat the border of Israel; |
| 11:12 |
and yeyou shall know that I am Jehovah:the Lord; for yeyou have not walked in my statutes neithernor have ye executed minemy ordinances but have doneacted afteraccording to the ordinances of the nations that are round about you |
| 11:13 |
And it came to pass whenwhile I prophesiedwas prophesying that PelatiahPelati′ah the son of BenaiahBenai′ah died Then I fell I down upon my face and cried with a loud voice and said Ah Lord JehovahGod wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel |
| 11:14 |
And the word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto me: saying |
| 11:15 |

| 11:16 |
Therefore say Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: WhereasThough I have removed them far off among the nations and whereasthough I have scattered them among the countries yet will I behave tobeen them a sanctuary to them for a little while in the countries where they arehave comegone |
| 11:17 |
Therefore say Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries where yeyou have been scattered and I will give you the land of Israel |
| 11:18 |
And when they shall come thitherthere and they shallwill takeremove awayfrom it all theits detestable things thereof and all theits abominations thereof from thence |
| 11:19 |
And I will give them one heart and I will put a new spirit within youthem; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh and will give them a heart of flesh; |
| 11:20 |
that they may walk in my statutes and keep minemy ordinances and doobey them:; and they shall be my people and I will be their God |
| 11:21 |
But as for themthose whose heart walkethgoes after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations I will bringrequite their waydeeds upon their own heads saithsays the Lord JehovahGod |
| 11:22 |
Then did the cherubim liftlifted up their wings andwith the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above |
| 11:23 |
And the glory of Jehovahthe Lord went up from the midst of the city and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city |
| 11:24 |
And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into ChaldeaChalde′a to them of the captivityexiles SoThen the vision that I had seen went up from me |
| 11:25 |
ThenAnd I spaketold unto them of the captivityexiles all the things that Jehovahthe Lord had showed me |
| 12:1 |
The word of Jehovahthe alsoLord came untoto me: saying |
| 12:2 |

| 12:8 |
AndIn in the morning came the word of Jehovahthe untoLord came to me: saying |

| 12:11 |
Say I am youra sign for you: like as I have done so shall it be done untoto them; they shall go into exile into captivity |
| 12:12 |
And the prince thatwho is among them shall bearlift his baggage upon his shoulder in the dark and shall go forth:; theyhe shall dig through the wall toand carrygo out thereby:through it; he shall cover his face becausethat he shallmay not see the land with his eyes |
| 12:13 |
MyAnd netI also will I spread uponmy net over him and he shall be taken in my snare; and I will bring him to Babylon toin the land of the Chaldeans;Chalde′ans yet he shall he not see it; thoughand he shall die there |
| 12:14 |
And I will scatter toward every wind all thatwho are round about him tohis helphelpers him and all his bandstroops; and I will drawunsheathe out the sword after them |
| 12:15 |
And they shall know that I am Jehovahthe Lord when I shall disperse them among the nations and scatter them through the countries |
| 12:16 |
But I will leavelet a few men of them escape from the sword from the famine and from the pestilence; that they may declareconfess all their abominations among the nations whitherwhere they come;go and theymay shall know that I am Jehovahthe Lord |
| 12:17 |
Moreover the word of Jehovahthe Lord came to me: saying |
| 12:18 |
Son of man eat thyyour bread with quaking and drink thy water with trembling and with fearfulness; |
| 12:19 |
and say untoof the people of the land Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem andin the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with fearfulness and drink their water in dismay thatbecause hertheir land maywill be desolatestripped and despoiled of all thatit iscontains thereinon becauseaccount of the violence of all themthose thatwho dwell thereinin it |
| 12:20 |
And the inhabited cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste and the land shall bebecome a desolation; and yeyou shall know that I am Jehovahthe Lord |
| 12:21 |
And the word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto me: saying |
| 12:22 |
Son of man what is this proverb that yeyou have inabout the land of Israel saying The days aregrow prolongedlong and every vision failethcomes to nought |
| 12:23 |
Tell them therefore Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: I will makeput thisan proverbend to ceasethis proverb and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; butBut say untoto them The days are at hand and the fulfilment of every vision |
| 12:24 |
For there shall be no more any false vision noror flattering divination within the house of Israel |
| 12:25 |
ForBut I amthe Jehovah;Lord I will speak and the word thatwhich I shallwill speak shalland it will be performed; itIt shallwill be no morelonger deferred:be fordelayed but in your days O rebellious house I will I speak the word and will perform it saithsays the Lord JehovahGod |
| 12:26 |
Again the word of Jehovahthe Lord came to me: saying |
| 12:27 |
Son of man behold they of the house of Israel say The vision that he seethsees is for many days tohence come and he prophesiethprophesies of times that are far off |
| 12:28 |
Therefore say untoto them Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: ThereNone shall none of my words will be deferreddelayed any morelonger but the word which I shall speak shallwill be performed saithsays the Lord JehovahGod |
| 13:1 |
AndThe the word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto me: saying |

Son of man prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy and say thouto untothose themwho that prophesy out of their own heartminds: Hear ye the word of Jehovah:the Lord |
| 13:3 |
Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod Woe untoto the foolish prophets thatwho follow their own spirit and have seen nothing |
| 13:4 |
OYour Israel thy prophets have been like foxes inamong theruins wasteO placesIsrael |
| 13:5 |

| 13:6 |
They have seenspoken falsehood and lyingdivined divinationa thatlie; they say JehovahSays saith;the butLord Jehovahwhen haththe Lord has not sent them: and yet they haveexpect madehim men to hopefulfil thattheir the word would be confirmed |
| 13:7 |
Have yeyou not seen a falsedelusive vision and haveuttered ye not spoken a lying divination inwhenever thatyou yehave saysaid JehovahSays saith;the albeitLord although I have not spoken |
| 13:8 |
Therefore thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: Because yeyou have spokenuttered falsehooddelusions and seen lies therefore behold I am against you saithsays the Lord JehovahGod |
| 13:9 |
AndMy my hand shallwill be against the prophets thatwho see falsedelusive visions and thatwho divinegive lies:lying divinations; they shall not be in the council of my people neithernor shall they be writtenenrolled in the writingregister of the house of Israel neithernor shall they enter into the land of Israel; and yeyou shall know that I am the Lord JehovahGod |
| 13:10 |
Because evenyea because they have seducedmisled my people saying Peace; andwhen there is no peace; and because when onethe buildethpeople upbuild a wall beholdthese theyprophets daub it with untemperedwhitewash; mortar: |
| 13:11 |
say untoto themthose thatwho daub it with untemperedwhitewash mortar that it shall fall: thereThere shallwill be ana overflowingdeluge shower;of andrain ye O great hailstones shallwill fall; and a stormy wind shallbreak rendout; it |
| 13:12 |
Loand when the wall isfalls fallenwill shall it not be said untoto you Where is the daubing wherewithwith yewhich haveyou daubed it |
| 13:13 |
Therefore thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: I will evenmake rend it with a stormy wind break out in my wrath; and there shall be ana overflowingdeluge showerof rain in minemy anger and great hailstones in wrath to consumedestroy it |
| 13:14 |
SoAnd I will I break down the wall that yeyou have daubed with untemperedwhitewash mortar and bring it down to the ground so that theits foundation thereofwill shall be uncoveredlaid bare; andwhen it shallfalls fallyou and ye shall beperish consumed in the midst thereof:of it; and yeyou shall know that I am Jehovahthe Lord |
| 13:15 |
Thus will I accomplishspend my wrath upon the wall and upon themthose thatwho have daubed it with untempered mortarwhitewash; and I will say untoto you The wall is no more neithernor theythose thatwho daubed it; |
| 13:16 |
to wit the prophets of Israel thatwho prophesyprophesied concerning Jerusalem and thatsaw see visions of peace for her andwhen there iswas no peace saithsays the Lord JehovahGod |
| 13:17 |
And thouyou son of man set thyyour face against the daughters of thyyour people thatwho prophesy out of their own heartminds; and prophesy thou against them |
| 13:18 |
and say Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: Woe to the women thatwho sew pillowsmagic bands upon all elbowswrists and make kerchiefsveils for the headheads of persons of every stature toin the hunt for souls Will yeyou hunt thedown souls ofbelonging to my people and savekeep other souls alive for yourselvesyour profit |

AndYou ye have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread putting to slaydeath thepersons soulswho that should not die and tokeeping savealive thepersons soulswho alive that should not live by your lyinglies to my people thatwho hearkenlisten untoto lies |
| 13:20 |
Wherefore thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: Behold I am against your pillowsmagic wherewithbands yewith therewhich you hunt the souls to make them fly and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls go even the souls that yeyou hunt togo makefree themlike flybirds |

| 13:23 |
therefore yeyou shall no more see falsedelusive visions nor divinepractice divinations:divination; and I will deliver my people out of your hand; andThen yeyou shallwill know that I am Jehovahthe Lord |
| 14:1 |
Then came certain of the elders of Israel untoto me and sat before me |
| 14:2 |
And the word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto me: saying |
| 14:3 |
Son of man these men have taken their idols into their hearthearts and putset the stumblingblockstumbling block of their iniquity before their face:faces; should I let myself be inquired of at all by them |
| 14:4 |
Therefore speak untoto them and say untoto them Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: EveryAny man of the house of Israel thatwho takethtakes his idols into his heart and puttethsets the stumblingblockstumbling block of his iniquity before his face and comethyet comes to the prophet; I Jehovahthe Lord will answer him thereinmyself accordingbecause toof the multitude of his idols; |
| 14:5 |
that I may takelay hold of the househearts of Israelthe inhouse theirof ownIsrael heartwho because they are all estranged from me through their idols |
| 14:6 |
Therefore say untoto the house of Israel Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: ReturnRepent ye and turn yourselvesaway from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations |
| 14:7 |
For everyany one of the house of Israel or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel thatwho separatethseparates himself from me andtaking taketh his idols into his heart and puttethputting the stumblingblockstumbling block of his iniquity before his face and comethyet comes to thea prophet to inquire for himself of me; I Jehovahthe Lord will answer him by myself:; |
| 14:8 |
and I will set my face against that man andI will make him an astonishment for a sign and a proverbbyword and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and yeyou shall know that I am Jehovahthe Lord |
| 14:9 |
And if the prophet be deceived and speak a word I Jehovahthe Lord have deceived that prophet and I will stretch out my hand uponagainst him and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel |
| 14:10 |
And they shall bear their iniquity: punishment—the iniquitypunishment of the prophet shalland be even as the iniquitypunishment of himthe thatinquirer seekethshall untobe him;alike— |
| 14:11 |
that the house of Israel may go no more astray from me neithernor defile themselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people and I may be their God saithsays the Lord JehovahGod |
| 14:12 |
And the word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto me: saying |
| 14:13 |
Son of man when a land sinnethsins against me by committingacting afaithlessly trespass and I stretch out my hand uponagainst it and break theits staff of the bread thereof and send famine upon it and cut off from it man and beast; |
| 14:14 |
thougheven if these three men Noah Daniel and Job were in it they shouldwould deliver but their own soulslives by their righteousness saithsays the Lord JehovahGod |
| 14:15 |
If I cause evilwild beasts to pass through the land and they ravage it and it be made desolate so that no man may pass through because of the beasts; |
| 14:16 |
thougheven if these three men were in it as I live saithsays the Lord JehovahGod they shouldwould deliver neither sons nor daughters; they onlyalone shouldwould be delivered but the land shouldwould be desolate |
| 14:17 |
Or if I bring a sword upon that land and say SwordLet a sword go through the land; soand that I cut off from it man and beast; |
| 14:18 |
though these three men were in it as I live saithsays the Lord JehovahGod they shouldwould deliver neither sons nor daughters but they onlyalone shouldwould be delivered themselves |
| 14:19 |
Or if I send a pestilence into that land and pour out my wrath upon it inwith blood to cut off from it man and beast; |
| 14:20 |
thougheven if Noah Daniel and Job were in it as I live saithsays the Lord JehovahGod they shouldwould deliver neither son nor daughter; they shouldwould deliver but deliver their own soulslives by their righteousness |
| 14:21 |
For thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: How much more when I send upon Jerusalem my four sore judgmentsacts uponof Jerusalemjudgment the sword and the famine and the evil beasts and the pestilence to cut off from it man and beast |
| 14:22 |
Yet beholdif thereinthere shallshould be left ain remnantit thatany shallsurvivors beto carriedlead forthout both sons and daughters: beholdwhen they shall come forth untoto you and yeyou shall see their wayways and their doings; andyou yewill shall be comfortedconsoled concerningfor the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem evenfor concerning all that I have brought upon it |
| 14:23 |
AndThey theywill shallconsole comfort you when yeyou see their wayways and their doings; and yeyou shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it saithsays the Lord JehovahGod |
| 15:1 |
And the word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto me: saying |
| 15:2 |
Son of man whathow isdoes the vinewood treeof morethe thanvine surpass any treewood the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest |
| 15:3 |
ShallIs wood be taken thereoffrom it to make anyanything workDo or will men take a pinpeg offrom it to hang any vessel thereonon |
| 15:4 |
BeholdLo it is castgiven intoto the fire for fuel; when the fire hathhas devouredconsumed both the ends of it and the midstmiddle of it is burned:charred is it profitableuseful for anyanything work |
| 15:5 |
Behold when it was whole it was meetused for nonothing; work: how much less when the fire hathhas devouredconsumed it and it is burnedcharred shallcan it yetever be meetused for anyanything work |
| 15:6 |
Therefore thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: AsLike the wood of the vine tree among the trees of the forest which I have given to the fire for fuel so will I give up the inhabitants of Jerusalem |
| 15:7 |
And I will set my face against them; though they shallescape go forth from the fire but the fire shall devouryet consume them; and yeyou shallwill know that I am Jehovahthe Lord when I set my face against them |
| 15:8 |

AndThe the word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto me: saying |

| 17:5 |
HeThen he took also of the seed of the land and planted it in afertile fruitful soil; he placed it beside manyabundant waters; heHe set it aslike a willow treetwig |
| 17:6 |
Andand it grewsprouted and became a low spreading vine ofand lowits stature whose branches turned toward him and theits roots thereofremained werewhere underit him:stood soSo it became a vine and brought forth branches and shotput forth sprigsfoliage |

YeaBehold beholdwhen beingit plantedis shalltransplanted will it prosperthrive shallWill it not utterly wither when the east wind touchethstrikes it—wither itaway shallon wither in the bedsbed where it grew |
| 17:11 |
MoreoverThen the word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto me: saying |
| 17:12 |
Say now to the rebellious house KnowDo yeyou not know what these things mean tellTell them Behold the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and took theher king thereof and theher princes thereof and brought them to him to Babylon |
| 17:13 |
And he took one of the seed royal and made a covenant with him; heputting also brought him under an oath andThe tookchief awaymen the mighty of the land; he had taken away |
| 17:14 |

But he rebelled against him inby sending his ambassadors intoto Egypt that they might give him horses and mucha peoplelarge Shallarmy Will he prospersucceed shallCan hea man escape thatwho doethdoes such things shallCan he break the covenant and yet escape |

Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company will not help him in the war when theymounds are cast up mounds and buildsiege fortswalls built to cut off many personslives |
| 17:18 |
ForBecause he hath despised the oath byand breakingbroke the covenant; andbecause behold he hadgave given his hand and yet hathdid done all these things; he shall not escape |
| 17:19 |
Therefore thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: As I live surely minemy oath thatwhich he hath despised and my covenant thatwhich he hathbroke broken I will evenrequite bring it upon his own head |
| 17:20 |
And I will spread my net uponover him and he shall be taken in my snare and I will bring him to Babylon and will enter into judgment with him there for histhe trespasstreason that he hathhas trespassedcommitted against me |

| 18:4 |
Behold all souls are mine; as the soul of the father soas alsowell as the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinnethsins it shall die |

ButIf if a man beis justrighteous and dodoes thatwhat which is lawful and right— |

But if thea wicked turnman turns away from all his sins thatwhich he hathhas committed and keepkeeps all my statutes and dodoes thatwhat which is lawful and right he shall surely live; he shall not die |
| 18:22 |
None of histhe transgressions thatwhich he hathhas committed shall be remembered against him:; infor histhe righteousness thatwhich he hathhas done he shall live |

AndWith hooks they put him in a cage with hooks and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into strongholdscustody that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel |

And I gave them my statutes and showed them minemy ordinances whichby ifwhose aobservance man do he shall live in them |
| 20:12 |
Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths toas be a sign between me and them that they might know that I amthe JehovahLord thatsanctify sanctifieth them |
| 20:13 |
But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness:; they walkeddid not walk in my statutes andbut they rejected minemy ordinances whichby ifwhose aobservance man keep he shall live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly profaned Then I saidthought I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness to consumemake a full end of them |
| 20:14 |
But I wroughtacted for the sake of my namesname sake that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out |
| 20:15 |
Moreover also I swareswore untoto them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them a land flowing with milk and honey whichthe ismost theglorious glory of all lands; |
| 20:16 |
because they rejected minemy ordinances and walkeddid not walk in my statutes and profaned my sabbaths:; for their heart went after their idols |
| 20:17 |
Nevertheless minemy eye spared them and I destroyeddid them not neitherdestroy didthem Ior make a full end of them in the wilderness |
| 20:18 |
And I said untoto their children in the wilderness WalkDo ye not walk in the statutes of your fathers neithernor observe their ordinances nor defile yourselves with their idols |
| 20:19 |
I the Lord am Jehovah your God:; walk in my statutes and keepbe minecareful ordinancesto andobserve domy them;ordinances |
| 20:20 |
and hallow my sabbaths; andthat they shallmay be a sign between me and you that yeyou may know that I the Lord am Jehovah your God |
| 20:21 |
But the children rebelled against me; they walkeddid not walk in my statutes neitherand keptwere minenot ordinancescareful to doobserve themmy whichordinances ifby awhose observance man do he shall live in them; they profaned my sabbaths Then I saidthought I would pour out my wrath upon them toand accomplishspend my anger against them in the wilderness |

NeverthelessBut I withdrewwithheld my hand and wroughtacted for the sake of my namesname sake that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations in whose sight I had brought them forthout |
| 20:23 |
Moreover I swareswore untoto them in the wilderness that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them through the countries; |
| 20:24 |
because they had not executed minemy ordinances but had rejected my statutes and had profaned my sabbaths and their eyes were afterset on their fathers idols |
| 20:25 |
Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good and ordinances whereinby which they shouldcould not livehave life; |

and I polluteddefiled them inthrough their ownvery gifts in thatmaking theythem causedoffer toby pass through the fire all thattheir openethfirst theborn womb that I might makehorrify them; desolateI todid theit end that they might know that I am Jehovahthe Lord |

And thouI shaltshall be profaned inthrough thyselfyou in the sight of the nations; and thouyou shaltshall know that I am Jehovahthe Lord |

And the word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto me: saying |

Son of man the house of Israel ishas become dross untoto me:; all of them aresilver brassand bronze and tin and iron and lead in the midst of the furnace; theyhave arebecome the dross of silver |
| 22:19 |
Therefore thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: Because yeyou arehave all become dross therefore behold I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem |
| 22:20 |
As theymen gather silver and brassbronze and iron and lead and tin into thea midst of the furnace to blow the fire upon it in order to melt it; so I will I gather you in minemy anger and in my wrath and I will layput you therein and melt you |

As silver is melted in thea midst of the furnace so you shall ye be melted in the midst thereofof it; and yeyou shall know that I Jehovahthe Lord have poured out my wrath upon you |
| 22:23 |
And the word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto me: saying |

Son of man say untoto her ThouYou artare a land that is not cleansed noror rained upon in the day of indignation |
| 22:25 |
ThereHer isprinces ain conspiracythe midst of her prophetsare in the midst thereof like a roaring lion raveningtearing the prey:; they have devoured soulshuman lives; they takehave taken treasure and precious things; they have made hermany widows many in the midst thereofof her |
| 22:26 |
Her priests have done violence to my law and have profaned my holy things:; they have made no distinction between the holy and the common neither have they causedtaught menthe todifference discern between the unclean and the clean and they have hiddisregarded their eyes from my sabbaths andso that I am profaned among them |
| 22:27 |
Her princes in the midst thereofof her are like wolves raveningtearing the prey toshedding shed blood anddestroying lives to destroy souls that they may get dishonest gain |
| 22:28 |
And her prophets have daubed for them with untemperedwhitewash mortar seeing false visions and divining lies untofor them saying Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod when Jehovahthe hathLord has not spoken |
| 22:29 |
The people of the land have usedpracticed oppressionextortion and exercisedcommitted robbery; yea they have vexedoppressed the poor and needy and have oppressedextorted from the sojourner wrongfullywithout redress |
| 22:30 |
And I sought for a man among them thatwho should build up the wall and stand in the gapbreach before me for the land that I should not destroy it; but I found none |
| 22:31 |
Therefore I have I poured out minemy indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath:; their own way have I broughtrequited upon their heads saithsays the Lord JehovahGod |
| 23:1 |
The word of Jehovahthe Lord came againto unto me: saying |
| 23:2 |
Son of man there were two women the daughters of one mother:; |
| 23:3 |
and they played the harlot in Egypt; they played the harlot in their youth; there were their breasts were pressed and theretheir wasvirgin bosoms handled the bosom of their virginity |
| 23:4 |
AndOho′lah was the namesname of themthe wereelder Oholahand Ohol′ibah the eldername andof Oholibah her sister: andThey they became mine and they barebore sons and daughters AndAs as for their names SamariaOho′lah is OholahSamar′ia and Ohol′ibah is Jerusalem Oholibah |
| 23:5 |
AndOho′lah Oholah played the harlot whenwhile she was mine; and she doted on her lovers on the Assyrians her neighbors |
| 23:6 |
whowarriors were clothed within bluepurple governors and rulerscommanders all of them desirable young men horsemen riding uponon horses |
| 23:7 |
AndShe she bestowed her whoredomsharlotries upon them the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and onshe whomsoeverdefiled sheherself doted with all theirthe idols of every one on whom she defileddoted herself |
| 23:8 |
NeitherShe hathdid shenot leftgive up her whoredomsharlotry which she had practiced since theher days ofin Egypt; for in her youth theymen layhad lain with her and they handled theher virgin bosom of her virginity; and they poured out their whoredomlust upon her |
| 23:9 |
WhereforeTherefore I delivered her into the handhands of her lovers into the handhands of the Assyrians upon whom she doted |
| 23:10 |
These uncovered her nakedness; they tookseized her sons and her daughters; and her they slew with the sword:; and she became a byword among women; forwhen theyjudgment had been executed judgments upon her |
| 23:11 |
AndHer her sister OholibahOhol′ibah saw this yet she was she more corrupt than she in her doting than she and in her whoredomsharlotry which werewas moreworse than thethat whoredoms of her sister |
| 23:12 |
She doted upon the Assyrians governors and rulerscommanders herwarriors neighbors clothed mostin gorgeouslyfull armor horsemen riding uponon horses all of them desirable young men |
| 23:13 |
And I saw that she was defiled; they both took onethe same way |
| 23:14 |
AndBut she increasedcarried her whoredomsharlotry further; for she saw men portrayed upon the wall the images of the ChaldeansChalde′ans portrayed within vermilion |
| 23:15 |
girded with girdlesbelts uponon their loins with flowing turbans uponon their heads all of them princeslooking tolike lookofficers upona afterpicture the likeness of the Babylonians inwhose Chaldeanative the land ofwas theirChalde′a nativity |
| 23:16 |
AndWhen as soon as she saw them she doted upon them and sent messengers untoto them intoin ChaldeaChalde′a |
| 23:17 |
And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love and they defiled her with their whoredomlust; and after she was polluted withby them andshe herturned soulfrom wasthem alienatedin fromdisgust them |
| 23:18 |
SoWhen she uncoveredcarried on her whoredomsharlotry so openly and uncoveredflaunted her nakedness: thenI myturned soulin wasdisgust alienated from her like as myI soulhad wasturned alienated from her sister |
| 23:19 |
Yet she multipliedincreased her whoredomsharlotry remembering the days of her youth whereinwhen she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt |
| 23:20 |
Andand she doted upon theirher paramours there whose fleshmembers iswere aslike thethose flesh of asses and whose issue iswas like thethat issue of horses |
| 23:21 |
Thus thouyou calledstlonged tofor remembrance the lewdness of thyyour youth inwhen the handlingEgyptians ofhandled thyyour bosom byand thepressed Egyptiansyour foryoung the breasts of thy youth |
| 23:22 |
Therefore O OholibahOhol′ibah thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: Behold I will raiserouse upagainst thyyou your lovers against thee from whom thyyou soulturned isin alienateddisgust and I will bring them against theeyou onfrom every side: |
| 23:23 |
the Babylonians and all the ChaldeansChalde′ans Pekod and ShoaSho′a and KoaKo′a and all the Assyrians with them; desirable young men governors and rulerscommanders all of them princesofficers and menwarriors of renown all of them riding uponon horses |
| 23:24 |
And they shall come against theeyou from the north with weapons chariots and wagons and with a companyhost of peoples; they shall set themselves against theeyou on every side with buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will commit the judgment untoto them and they shall judge theeyou according to their judgments |
| 23:25 |
And I will setdirect my jealousyindignation against theeyou andthat they shallmay deal with theeyou in fury; theyThey shall takecut awayoff thyyour nose and thineyour ears; and thyyour residuesurvivors shall fall by the sword: theyThey shall takeseize thyyour sons and thyyour daughters; and thyyour residuesurvivors shall be devoured by the fire |
| 23:26 |
They shall also strip theeyou of thyyour clothes and take away thyyour fairfine jewels |
| 23:27 |
Thus I will Iput makean thyend lewdness to ceaseyour fromlewdness thee and thyyour whoredomharlotry brought from the land of Egypt; so that thouyou shaltshall not lift up thineyour eyes untoto themthe norEgyptians or remember Egyptthem any more |
| 23:28 |
For thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: Behold I will deliver theeyou into the handhands of themthose whom thouyou hatesthate into the handhands of themthose from whom thyyou soulturned isin alienateddisgust; |
| 23:29 |
and they shall deal with theeyou in hatred and shall take away all thythe fruit of your labor and shall leave theeyou naked and bare; and the nakedness of thyyour whoredomsharlotry shall be uncovered bothYour thy lewdness and thyyour whoredomsharlotry |
| 23:30 |
Thesehave thingsbrought shallthis beupon doneyou untobecause theeyou for that thou hast played the harlot afterwith the nations and becausepolluted thouyourself art polluted with their idols |
| 23:31 |
ThouYou hasthave walkedgone in the way of thyyour sister; therefore I will I give her cup into thyyour hand |
| 23:32 |
Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: ThouYou shaltshall drink ofyour thy sisters cup which is deep and large; thouyou shaltshall be laughed toat scorn and hadheld in derision; for it containethcontains much ; |
| 23:33 |
Thouyou shaltwill be filled with drunkenness and sorrow withA the cup of astonishmenthorror and desolation withis the cup of thyyour sister Samaria Samar′ia; |
| 23:34 |
Thouyou shaltshall even drink it and drain it out and thoupluck shaltout gnawyour thehair sherds thereof and shalt tear thyyour breasts; for I have spoken itsays saith the Lord JehovahGod |
| 23:35 |
Therefore thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: Because thouyou hasthave forgotten me and cast me behind thyyour back therefore bear thouthe alsoconsequences thyof your lewdness and thy whoredomsharlotry |
| 23:36 |
JehovahThe Lord said moreoverto unto me: Son of man wiltwill thouyou judge OholahOho′lah and OholibahOhol′ibah thenThen declare untoto them their abominationsabominable deeds |
| 23:37 |
For they have committed adultery and blood is inupon their hands; and with their idols they have they committed adultery; and they have alsoeven causedoffered theirup sonsto whomthem theyfor barefood untothe mesons towhom passthey throughhad theborne fire unto them to beme devoured |
| 23:38 |
Moreover this they have done untoto me: they have defiled my sanctuary inon the same day and have profaned my sabbaths |
| 23:39 |
For when they had slainslaughtered their children in sacrifice to their idols thenon they came the same day they came into my sanctuary to profane it; andAnd lo thusthis haveis what they donedid in the midst of my house |
| 23:40 |
AndThey furthermoreeven ye have sent for men thatto come from far untoto whom a messenger was sent and lo they came; forFor whomthem thouyou didstbathed washyourself thyselfpainted paintyour thine eyes and deckdecked thyselfyourself with ornaments; |
| 23:41 |
andyou sitsat upon a stately bedcouch with a table preparedspread before it whereuponon thouwhich didstyou sethad mineplaced my incense and minemy oil |
| 23:42 |
AndThe thesound voice of a carefree multitude being at ease was with her:; and with men of the common sort drunkards were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets upon the hands of themthe twainwomen and beautiful crowns upon their heads |
| 23:43 |
Then said I ofsaid herDo thatnot wasmen oldnow incommit adulteriesadultery Nowwhen will they playpractice theharlotry harlot with her and she with them |
| 23:44 |
AndFor they wenthave gone in untoto her as theymen go in untoto a harlot: soThus they went they in untoto OholahOho′lah and untoto OholibahOhol′ibah theto lewdcommit womenlewdness |
| 23:45 |
AndBut righteous men they shall judgepass judgment on them with the judgmentsentence of adulteresses and with the judgmentsentence of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses and blood is inupon their hands |
| 23:46 |

| 33:1 |
AndThe the word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto me: saying |
| 33:2 |
Son of man speak to theyour children of thy people and say untoto them WhenIf I bring the sword upon a land and the people of the land take a man from among them and setmake him for their watchman; |
| 33:3 |
and if when he seethsees the sword comecoming upon the land heand blowblows the trumpet and warnwarns the people; |
| 33:4 |
then whosoeverif hearethany one who hears the sound of the trumpet anddoes taketh not take warning ifand the sword comecomes and taketakes him away his blood shall be upon his own head |
| 33:5 |
He heard the sound of the trumpet and tookdid not take warning; his blood shall be upon him;himself whereasBut if he had taken warning he would have deliveredsaved his soullife |
| 33:6 |
But if the watchman seesees the sword comecoming and blowdoes not blow the trumpet andso that the people beare not warned and the sword comecomes and taketakes any personone fromof among them; hethat man is taken away in his iniquity but his blood I will I require at the watchmans hand |
| 33:7 |
So thouyou son of man I have setmade thee a watchman untofor the house of Israel; thereforewhenever you hear thea word atfrom my mouth andyou shall give them warning from me |
| 33:8 |
WhenIf I say untoto the wicked O wicked man thouyou shaltshall surely die and thouyou dostdo not speak to warn the wicked to turn from his way; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity but his blood I will I require at thyyour hand |
| 33:9 |
NeverthelessBut if thouyou warn the wicked of his way to turn from ithis way and he turndoes not turn from his way; he shall die in his iniquity but thouyou hastwill deliveredhave thysaved soulyour life |
| 33:10 |
And thouyou son of man say untoto the house of Israel: Thus yehave speakyou sayingsaid: Our transgressions and our sins are upon us and we pinewaste away inbecause of them; how then can we live |
| 33:11 |
Say untoto them As I live saithsays the Lord JehovahGod I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live:; turn yeback turn yeback from your evil ways; for why will yeyou die O house of Israel |
| 33:12 |
And thouyou son of man say untoto theyour children of thy people The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him inwhen thehe day of his transgressiontransgresses; and as for the wickedness of the wicked he shall not fall therebyby init thewhen day that he turnethturns from his wickedness; neitherand shallthe herighteous thatshall isnot righteous be able to live therebyby inhis therighteousness daywhen that he sinnethsins |
| 33:13 |
WhenThough I say to the righteous that he shall surely live; yet if he trusttrusts toin his righteousness and commitcommits iniquity none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered; but in histhe iniquity that he hathhas committed thereinhe shall he die |
| 33:14 |
Again whenthough I say untoto the wicked ThouYou shaltshall surely die; yet if he turnturns from his sin and dodoes thatwhat which is lawful and right; |
| 33:15 |
if the wicked restorerestores the pledge givegives againback thatwhat which he hadhas taken by robbery walkand walks in the statutes of life committing no iniquity; he shall surely live he shall not die |
| 33:16 |
None of histhe sins that he hathhas committed shall be remembered against him:; he hathhas done thatwhat which is lawful and right; he shall surely live |
| 33:17 |
Yet theyour children of thy people say The way of the Lord is not equal:just; butwhen asit foris them their own way that is not equaljust |
| 33:18 |
When the righteous turnethturns from his righteousness and committethcommits iniquity he shall even die thereinfor it |
| 33:19 |
And when the wicked turnethturns from his wickedness and doethdoes thatwhat which is lawful and right he shall live therebyby it |
| 33:20 |
Yet yeyou say The way of the Lord is not equaljust O house of Israel I will judge each of you everyaccording oneto after his ways |
| 33:21 |
AndIn it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivityexile in the tenth month inon the fifth day of the month thata oneman thatwho had escaped outfrom of Jerusalem came untoto me sayingand said The city ishas smittenfallen |
| 33:22 |
Now the hand of Jehovahthe Lord had been upon me in the evening before hethe thatfugitive was escaped came; and he had opened my mouth untilby hethe time the man came to me in the morning; andso my mouth was opened and I was no morelonger dumb |
| 33:23 |
AndThe the word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto me: saying |
| 33:24 |
Son of man theythe thatinhabitants inhabitof thosethese waste places in the land of Israel speakkeep saying Abraham was only one andman yet he inheritedgot possession of the land:; but we are many; the land is surely given us forto inheritancepossess |
| 33:25 |
WhereforeTherefore say untoto them Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: YeYou eat flesh with the blood and lift up your eyes untoto your idols and shed blood:; and shall yeyou then possess the land |
| 33:26 |
YeYou standresort uponto yourthe sword yeyou workcommit abominationabominations and yeeach defileof everyyou onedefiles his neighbors wife:; and shall yeyou then possess the land |
| 33:27 |
ThusSay shaltthis thouto say unto them Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: As I live surely theythose thatwho are in the waste places shall fall by the sword; and him that is in the open field I will I give to the beasts to be devoured; and theythose thatwho are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die ofby the pestilence |
| 33:28 |
And I will make the land a desolation and ana astonishmentwaste; and theher prideproud ofmight hershall powercome shallto ceasean end; and the mountains of Israel shall be so desolate so that none shallwill pass through |
| 33:29 |
Then shall they will know that I am Jehovahthe Lord when I have made the land a desolation and ana astonishmentwaste because of all their abominations which they have committed |
| 33:30 |
AndAs as for theeyou son of man theyour childrenpeople ofwho thytalk peopletogether talkabout ofyou thee by the walls and inat the doors of the houses andsay speakto one to another everyeach one to his brother saying Come I pray you and hear what is the word is that comethcomes forth from Jehovahthe Lord |
| 33:31 |
And they come untoto theeyou as the people comethcome and they sit before theeyou as my people and they hear thywhat wordsyou say but dothey themwill not do it; for with their mouthlips they show much love but their heart goethis afterset on their gain |
| 33:32 |
And lo thouyou artare untoto them aslike aone verywho lovelysings songlove ofsongs onewith that hath a pleasantbeautiful voice and canplays play well on an instrument; for they hear thywhat wordsyou say but they will not do themit not |
| 33:33 |
AndWhen when this comethcomes—and tocome pass behold it cometh will—then shall they will know that a prophet hathhas been among them |
| 34:1 |
AndThe the word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto me: saying |
| 34:2 |
Son of man prophesy against the shepherds of Israel prophesy and say untoto them even to the shepherds Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: WoeHo unto the shepherds of Israel thatwho dohave feedbeen themselvesfeeding shouldyourselves Should not the shepherds feed the sheep |
| 34:3 |
YeYou eat the fat andyou ye clothe youyourselves with the wool yeyou killslaughter the fatlings; but yeyou feeddo not feed the sheep |
| 34:4 |
The diseasedweak you have ye not strengthened neitherthe sick you have yenot healed thatthe whichcrippled wasyou sick neither have yenot bound up thatthe whichstrayed wasyou broken neither have yenot brought back thatthe whichlost wasyou driven away neither have yenot sought thatand which was lost; but with force and withharshness rigoryou have ye ruled over them |
| 34:5 |
AndSo they were scattered because there was no shepherd; and they became food tofor all the wild beasts of the field and were scattered |
| 34:6 |
My sheep were scattered they wandered throughover all the mountains and uponon every high hill:; yea my sheep were scattered uponover all the face of the earth; andwith there was none thatto did search or seek afterfor them |
| 34:7 |
Therefore yeyou shepherds hear the word of Jehovahthe Lord: |
| 34:8 |
As I live saithsays the Lord JehovahGod surelybecause forasmuch as my sheep becamehave become a prey and my sheep becamehave become food tofor all the wild beasts ofsince the field because there was no shepherd; neitherand didbecause my shepherds searchhave not searched for my sheep but the shepherds have fed themselves and fedhave not fed my sheep; |
| 34:9 |
therefore yeyou shepherds hear the word of Jehovahthe Lord: |
| 34:10 |
Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod Behold I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand and causeput thema stop to ceasetheir from feeding the sheep; neitherno longer shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliverrescue my sheep from their mouthmouths that they may not be food for them |
| 34:11 |
For thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: Behold I I myself even I will search for my sheep and will seek them out |
| 34:12 |
As a shepherd seekethseeks out his flock inwhen thesome dayof that he is among his sheep thathave arebeen scattered abroad so will I seek out my sheep; and I will deliverrescue them outfrom of all places whitherwhere they have been scattered inon thea cloudyday of clouds and darkthick daydarkness |
| 34:13 |
And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them uponon the mountains of Israel by the watercoursesfountains and in all the inhabited places of the country |
| 34:14 |
I will feed them with good pasture; and upon the mountainsmountain ofheights the height of Israel shall be their foldpasture; be: there they shall they lie down in a good fold;grazing land and on fat pasture they shall they feed uponon the mountains of Israel |
| 34:15 |
I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep and I will causemake them to lie down saithsays the Lord JehovahGod |
| 34:16 |
I will seek thatthe which was lost and I will bring back thatthe whichstrayed wasand drivenI away and will bind up thatthe whichcrippled wasand brokenI and will strengthen thatthe whichweak wasand sick: but the fat and the strong I will destroywatch over; I will feed them in justice |
| 34:17 |
AndAs as for you O my flock thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: Behold I judge between sheep and sheep the rams and the he goats |
| 34:18 |
SeemethIs it anot smallenough thingfor unto you to havefeed fedon upon the good pasture butthat yeyou must tread down with your feet the residuerest of your pasture; and to havedrink drunk of the clear waterswater butthat yeyou must foul the residuerest with your feet |
| 34:19 |
And asmust for my sheep they eat thatwhat whichyou ye have trodden with your feet and they drink thatwhat whichyou ye have fouled with your feet |
| 34:20 |
Therefore thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod untoto them: Behold I even I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep |
| 34:21 |
Because yeyou thrustpush with side and with shoulder and pushthrust at all the diseasedweak with your horns till yeyou have scattered them abroad; |
| 34:22 |
thereforeI will I save my flock and they shall no morelonger be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep |
| 34:23 |
And I will set up over them one shepherd overmy themservant David and he shall feed them: even my servant David; he shall feed them and he shall be their shepherd |
| 34:24 |
And I Jehovahthe Lord will be their God and my servant David shall be prince among them; I Jehovahthe Lord have spoken it |
| 34:25 |
And I will make with them a covenant of peace and willbanish causewild evil beasts tofrom cease out of the land; andso that they shallmay dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods |
| 34:26 |
And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will causesend down the showershowers to come down in itstheir season; therethey shall be showers of blessing |
| 34:27 |
And the treetrees of the field shall yield itstheir fruit and the earth shall yield its increase and they shall be secure in their land; and they shall know that I am Jehovahthe Lord when I havebreak broken the bars of their yoke and havedeliver delivered them outfrom of the hand of those thatwho madeenslaved bondmen of them |
| 34:28 |
AndThey they shall no more be a prey to the nations neithernor shall the beasts of the earthland devour them; but they shall dwell securely and none shall make them afraid |
| 34:29 |
And I will raiseprovide upfor unto them aprosperous plantationplantations forso renownthat and they shall be no more be consumed with faminehunger in the land neitherand bearno longer suffer the shamereproach of the nations any more |
| 34:30 |
And they shall know that I Jehovahthe Lord their God am with them and that they the house of Israel are my people saithsays the Lord JehovahGod |
| 34:31 |
And yeyou are my sheep the sheep of my pasture are men and I am your God saithsays the Lord JehovahGod |
| 35:1 |
MoreoverThe the word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto me: saying |
| 35:2 |
Son of man set thyyour face against mountMount SeirSe′ir and prophesy against it |
| 35:3 |
and say untoto it Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: Behold I am against theeyou OMount mountSe′ir Seir and I will stretch out my hand against theeyou and I will make theeyou a desolation and ana astonishmentwaste |
| 35:4 |
I will lay thyyour cities waste and thouyou shaltshall bebecome desolatea desolation; and thouyou shaltshall know that I am Jehovahthe Lord |
| 35:5 |
Because thouyou hastcherished had a perpetual enmity and hastgave given over the childrenpeople of Israel to the power of the sword inat the time of their calamity inat the time of thetheir iniquityfinal of the endpunishment; |
| 35:6 |
therefore as I live saithsays the Lord JehovahGod I will prepare theeyou untofor blood and blood shall pursue thee:you; sincebecause thouyou hastare notguilty hatedof blood therefore blood shall pursue theeyou |
| 35:7 |
ThusI will I make mountMount SeirSe′ir ana astonishmentwaste and a desolation; and I will cut off from it himall thatwho passethcome through and himgo that returneth |
| 35:8 |
And I will fill itsyour mountains with itsthe slain:; inon thyyour hills and in thyyour valleys and in all thyyour watercoursesravines shallthose they fall that are slain with the sword shall fall |
| 35:9 |
I will make theeyou a perpetual desolation and thyyour cities shall not be inhabited; andThen yeyou shallwill know that I am Jehovahthe Lord |
| 35:10 |
Because thouyou hast said These two nations and these two countries shall be mine and we will possesstake it;possession whereasof Jehovahthem—although the Lord was there:— |
| 35:11 |
therefore as I live saithsays the Lord JehovahGod I will dodeal with you according to thinethe anger and according to thine envy which thouyou hast showed outbecause of thyyour hatred against them; and I will make myself known among themyou when I shall judge theeyou |
| 35:12 |
And thouyou shaltshall know that I Jehovahthe Lord have heard all thythe revilings which thouyou hastuttered spoken against the mountains of Israel saying They are laid desolate they are given us to devour |
| 35:13 |
And yeyou have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth and have multiplied your words against me:; I have heard it |
| 35:14 |
Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: WhenFor the rejoicing of the whole earth rejoiceth I will make theeyou desolate |
| 35:15 |
As thouyou didstrejoiced rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate so I will Ideal dowith untoyou; thee:you thoushall shalt be desolate OMount mountSe′ir Seir and all Edom even all of it; andThen they shallwill know that I am Jehovahthe Lord |
| 36:1 |
And thouyou son of man prophesy untoto the mountains of Israel and say YeO mountains of Israel hear the word of Jehovahthe Lord |
| 36:2 |
Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: Because the enemy hath said againstof you Aha and The ancient highheights placeshave arebecome oursour in possession; |
| 36:3 |
therefore prophesy and say Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: Because evenyea because they have made you desolate and swallowedcrushed you upfrom onall everysides sideso that yeyou mightbecame bethe a possession untoof the residuerest of the nations and yeyou arebecame taken up in the lipstalk of talkers and the evil reportgossip of the people; |
| 36:4 |
therefore yeO mountains of Israel hear the word of the Lord JehovahGod: Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod to the mountains and to the hills to the watercoursesravines and to the valleys to the desolate wastes and to the deserted cities that are forsaken which arehave become a prey and derision to the residuerest of the nations that are round about; |
| 36:5 |
therefore thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: SurelyI speak in themy firehot of my jealousy have I spoken against the residuerest of the nations and against all Edom thatwho havegave appointed my land untoto themselves foras a possession with thewholehearted joy ofand allutter theircontempt heartthat withthey despitemight ofpossess soulit toand castplunder it out for a prey |
| 36:6 |
Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel and say untoto the mountains and to the hills to the watercoursesravines and to the valleys Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: Behold I havespeak spoken in my jealousyjealous and in my wrath because yeyou have bornesuffered the shamereproach of the nations:; |
| 36:7 |
therefore thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: I haveswear swornthat saying Surely the nations that are round about you they shall bearthemselves theirsuffer shamereproach |
| 36:8 |
But yeyou O mountains of Israel ye shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they arewill atsoon handcome tohome come |
| 36:9 |
For behold I am for you and I will turn untoto you and yeyou shall be tilled and sown; |
| 36:10 |
and I will multiply men upon you all the whole house of Israel even all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited and the waste places shall be buildedrebuilt; |
| 36:11 |
and I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited afteras in your former estatetimes and will do bettermore untogood to you than atever yourbefore beginnings:Then andyou yewill shall know that I am Jehovahthe Lord |

Yea I will causelet men to walk upon you even my people Israel; and they shall possess theeyou and thouyou shaltshall be their inheritance and thouyou shaltshall no morelonger henceforth bereave them of children |
| 36:13 |
Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: Because theymen say untoto you ThouYou landdevour art a devourer of men and hastyou beenbereave ayour bereavernation of thychildren nation; |
| 36:14 |
therefore thouyou shaltshall no longer devour men and no morelonger neither bereave thyyour nation anyof morechildren saithsays the Lord JehovahGod; |

neitherand I will Inot let theeyou hear any more the shamereproach of the nations neitherand shaltyou thoushall no longer bear the reproachdisgrace of the peoples anyand moreno neitherlonger shalt thou cause thyyour nation to stumble anysays more saith the Lord JehovahGod |
| 36:16 |
MoreoverThe the word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto me: saying |
| 36:17 |
Son of man when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land they defiled it by their wayways and by their doings:; their wayconduct before me was aslike the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity |
| 36:18 |
WhereforeSo I poured out my wrath upon them for the blood which they had pouredshed outin upon the land andfor becausethe idols with which they had defiled it with their idols; |
| 36:19 |
and I scattered them among the nations and they were dispersed through the countries:; accordingin toaccordance with their wayconduct and according to their doingsdeeds I judged them |
| 36:20 |
AndBut when they came untoto the nations whitherwherever they wentcame they profaned my holy name; in that men said of them These are the people of Jehovahthe Lord and areyet gonethey forthhad to go out of his land |
| 36:21 |
But I had regardconcern for my holy name which the house of Israel hadcaused to be profaned among the nations whitherto which they wentcame |
| 36:22 |
Therefore say untoto the house of Israel Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: IIt dois not this for your sake O house of Israel that I am about to act but for the sake of my holy name which yeyou have profaned among the nations whitherto yewhich wentyou came |
| 36:23 |
And I will sanctifyvindicate the holiness of my great name which hathhas been profaned among the nations and which yeyou have profaned inamong the midst of them; and the nations shallwill know that I am Jehovahthe saithLord says the Lord JehovahGod when Ithrough shallyou beI sanctifiedvindicate inmy youholiness before their eyes |
| 36:24 |
For I will take you from among the nations and gather you outfrom of all the countries and will bring you into your own land |
| 36:25 |
And I will sprinkle clean water upon you and yeyou shall be clean: from all your filthinessuncleannesses and from all your idols I will I cleanse you |
| 36:26 |
A new heart alsoI will I give you and a new spirit I will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh andthe Iheart willof stone and give you a heart of flesh |
| 36:27 |
And I will put my Spiritspirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes and yebe shallcareful keepto mineobserve my ordinances and do them |
| 36:28 |
AndYou ye shall dwell in the land thatwhich I gave to your fathers; and yeyou shall be my people and I will be your God |
| 36:29 |
And I will savedeliver you from all your uncleannesses:; and I will callsummon for the grain and willmake multiply it abundant and lay no famine upon you |
| 36:30 |
And I will multiplymake the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field abundant that yeyou may receivenever noagain moresuffer the reproachdisgrace of famine among the nations |
| 36:31 |
Then shallyou yewill remember your evil ways and your doingsdeeds that were not good; and yeyou shallwill loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominationsabominable deeds |
| 36:32 |
NotIt is not for your sake dothat I thiswill saithact says the Lord JehovahGod; let that be it known untoto you: beBe ashamed and confounded for your ways O house of Israel |
| 36:33 |
Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: InOn the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities I will cause the cities to be inhabited and the waste places shall be buildedrebuilt |
| 36:34 |
And the land that was desolate shall be tilled whereasinstead itof wasbeing athe desolation that it was in the sight of all thatwho passed by |
| 36:35 |
And they shallwill say This land that was desolate ishas become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortifiednow inhabited and inhabitedfortified |
| 36:36 |
Then the nations that are left round about you shall know that I Jehovahthe Lord have buildedrebuilt the ruined places and plantedreplanted that which was desolate:; I Jehovahthe Lord have spoken it and I will do it |
| 36:37 |
Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: ForThis thisalso moreoverI will Ilet be inquired of by the house of Israel ask me to do it for them: Ito will increase themtheir with men like a flock |
| 36:38 |
AsLike the flock for sacrificesacrifices aslike the flock ofat Jerusalem induring her appointed feasts so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men; andThen they shallwill know that I am Jehovahthe Lord |
| 37:1 |
The hand of Jehovahthe Lord was upon me and he brought me out inby the Spirit of Jehovahthe Lord and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones |
| 37:2 |
And he causedled me toround passamong by them; round about: and behold there were very many inupon the open valley; and lo they were very dry |
| 37:3 |
And he said untoto me Son of man can these bones live And I answered O Lord JehovahGod thou knowest |
| 37:4 |
Again he said untoto me Prophesy overto these bones and say untoto them O ye dry bones hear the word of Jehovahthe Lord |
| 37:5 |
Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod untoto these bones: Behold I will cause breath to enter into you and yeyou shall live |
| 37:6 |
And I will lay sinews upon you and will bringcause up flesh to come upon you and cover you with skin and put breath in you and yeyou shall live; and yeyou shall know that I am Jehovahthe Lord |
| 37:7 |
So I prophesied as I was commanded:; and as I prophesied there was a noise and behold ana earthquakerattling; and the bones came together bone to its bone |
| 37:8 |
And as I beheldlooked and lo there were sinews uponon them and flesh camehad upcome upon them and skin had covered them above; but there was no breath in them |
| 37:9 |
Then he said heto unto me Prophesy untoto the windbreath prophesy son of man and say to the windbreath Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: Come from the four winds O breath and breathe upon these slain that they may live |
| 37:10 |
So I prophesied as he commanded me and the breath came into them and they lived and stood up upon their feet an exceedingexceedingly great armyhost |
| 37:11 |
Then he said untoto me Son of man these bones are the whole house of Israel: beholdBehold they say Our bones are dried up and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off |
| 37:12 |
Therefore prophesy and say untoto them Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: Behold I will open your graves and causeraise you tofrom come up out of your graves O my people; and I will bring you home into the land of Israel |
| 37:13 |
And yeyou shall know that I am Jehovahthe Lord when I haveopen opened your graves and causedraise you tofrom come up out of your graves O my people |
| 37:14 |
And I will put my Spirit inwithin you and yeyou shall live and I will place you in your own land:; andthen yeyou shall know that I Jehovahthe Lord have spoken it and performedI have done it saithsays Jehovahthe Lord |

| 37:18 |
And when theyour children of thy people shallsay speakto untoyou theeWill sayingyou Wilt thou not show us what thouyou meanestmean by these |

Andthen say untoto them Thus saithsays the Lord JehovahGod: Behold I will take the childrenpeople of Israel from among the nations whitheramong which they arehave gone and will gather them onfrom everyall sidesides and bring them intoto their own land:; |

| 41:18 |
Andof it was made with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub andEvery every cherub had two faces;: |
| 41:19 |
so that there was the face of a man toward the palm tree on the one side and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side ThusThey waswere itcarved madeon throughthe allwhole thetemple house round about:; |

Then he broughtled me forthout into the outerinner court the way toward the north: and he brought me intoto the chamberchambers thatwhich waswere overopposite against the separatetemple placeyard and whichopposite was over against the building towardon the north |
| 42:2 |
BeforeThe the length of athe hundredbuilding cubitswhich was on the north doorside was a hundred cubits and the breadth was fifty cubits |
| 42:3 |
OverAdjoining against the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court and overfacing against the pavement which belonged to the outer court was gallery against gallery in thethree thirdstories story |
| 42:4 |
And before the chambers was a walkpassage ofinward ten cubits breadthwide inwardand a wayhundred ofcubits onelong cubit; and their doors were towardon the north |
| 42:5 |
Now the upper chambers were shorter;narrower for the galleries took more away from thesethem more than from the lower and themiddle middlemostchambers in the building |
| 42:6 |
For they were in three stories and they had notno pillars aslike the pillars of the courts:outer thereforecourt; hence the uppermostupper waschambers straitenedwere set back from the ground more than the lowestlower and the middlemostmiddle fromones the ground |
| 42:7 |
And thethere wall that was withouta bywall theoutside sideparallel ofto the chambers toward the outer court beforeopposite the chambers the length thereof was fifty cubits long |
| 42:8 |
For the length of the chambers thaton were in the outer court waswere fifty cubits: andlong lowhile beforethose opposite the temple were a hundred cubits long |

| 42:13 |
Then he said heto unto me The north chambers and the south chambers whichopposite are before the separateyard place they are the holy chambers where the priests thatwho areapproach nearthe untoLord Jehovah shall eat the most holy things:offerings; there they shall theyput lay the most holy things and offerings—the mealcereal offering and the sin offering and the trespassguilt offering; for the place is holy |

| 42:15 |
Now when he had madefinished anmeasuring endthe interior of measuring the innertemple housearea he broughtled me forthout by the way of the gate whosewhich prospectfaced is toward the east and measured itthe temple area round about |
| 42:16 |
He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reedscubits withby the measuring reed round about |

| 42:20 |
He measured it on the four sides: itIt had a wall roundaround aboutit the length five hundred andcubits thelong breadthand five hundred cubits broad to make a separation between thatthe which was holy and thatthe which was common |
| 43:1 |
Afterward he brought me to the gate even the gate thatfacing looketh toward the east |
| 43:2 |
And behold the glory of the God of Israel came from the wayeast; ofand the east:sound andof his voicecoming was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shinedshone with his glory |
| 43:3 |
And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw evenwas accordinglike to the vision thatwhich I sawhad seen when Ihe came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision thatwhich I sawhad seen by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face |
| 43:4 |
AndAs the glory of Jehovahthe cameLord intoentered the housetemple by the way of the gate whosefacing prospect is toward the east |
| 43:5 |
And the Spirit tooklifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold the glory of Jehovahthe Lord filled the housetemple |
| 43:6 |
AndWhile the man was standing beside me I heard one speaking untoto me out of the housetemple; and a man stood by me |
| 43:7 |
Andand he said untoto me Son of man this is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet where I will dwell in the midst of the childrenpeople of Israel for ever And the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name neither they nor their kings by their whoredomharlotry and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places; |
| 43:8 |
inby their setting of their threshold by my threshold and their doordoorposts post beside my doordoorposts postwith andonly therea was but the wall between me and them; andThey they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: whereforeso I have consumed them in minemy anger |
| 43:9 |
Now let them put away their whoredomidolatry and the dead bodies of their kings far from me; and I will dwell in thetheir midst of them for ever |
| 43:10 |
ThouAnd you son of man showdescribe the house to the house of Israel the temple and its appearance and plan that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern |

| 43:12 |
This is the law of the housetemple: the whole territory round about upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy Behold this is the law of the housetemple |

AsOnly for the prince hemay shall sit thereinin asit prince to eat bread before Jehovahthe Lord; he shall enter by the way of the porchvestibule of the gate and shall go out by the same way of the same |
