| 1:1 |
Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year in the fourth month in the fifth day of the month as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar that the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God |
| 1:3 |
Thethe word of theJehovah Lord came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest the son of Buzi in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of theJehovah Lord was there upon him |
| 1:4 |
And I looked and behold a whirlwindstormy wind came out of the north a great cloud andwith a fire infolding itself and a brightness wasround about it and out of the midst thereof as theit colourwere ofglowing ambermetal out of the midst of the fire |
| 1:5 |
AlsoAnd out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures And this was their appearance;: they had the likeness of a man; |
| 1:6 |
Andand every one had four faces and every one of them had four wings |
| 1:7 |
And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calfs foot:; and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass |
| 1:8 |
And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings thus: |
| 1:9 |
Theirtheir wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward |
| 1:10 |
As for the likeness of their faces they four had the face of a man; and they four had the face of a lion on the right side:; and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four had also had the face of an eagle |
| 1:11 |
ThusAnd were their faces: and their wings were stretchedseparate upwardabove; two wings of every one were joined one to another and two covered their bodies |
| 1:12 |
And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go they went; and they turned not when they went |
| 1:13 |
As for the likeness of the living creatures their appearance was like burning coals of fire and like the appearance of lampstorches: itthe fire went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright and out of the fire went forth lightning |
| 1:15 |
Now as I beheld the living creatures behold one wheel upon the earth bybeside the living creatures withfor hiseach of the four faces thereof |
| 1:16 |
The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness:; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel inwithin the middle of a wheel |
| 1:17 |
When they went they went uponin their four sidesdirections: and they turned not when they went |
| 1:18 |
As for their ringsrims they were so high thatand they were dreadful; and they four had their ringsrims were full of eyes round about them four |
| 1:19 |
And when the living creatures went the wheels went bybeside them:; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth the wheels were lifted up |
| 1:20 |
Whithersoever the spirit was to go they went; thither was theirthe spirit to go;: and the wheels were lifted up overbeside against them:; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels |
| 1:21 |
When those went these went; and when those stood these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth the wheels were lifted up overbeside against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels |
| 1:22 |
And theover likeness of the firmamenthead upon the heads of the living creature there was as the colourlikeness of a firmament like the terrible crystal to look upon stretched forth over their heads above |
| 1:24 |
And when they went I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters aslike the voice of the Almighty thea voicenoise of speechtumult aslike the noise of ana host: when they stood they let down their wings |
| 1:25 |
And there was a voice fromabove the firmament that was over their heads: when they stood andthey had let down their wings |
| 1:26 |
And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne as the appearance of a sapphire stone:; and upon the likeness of the throne was thea likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it above |
| 1:27 |
And I saw as theit colourwere ofglowing ambermetal as the appearance of fire within it round about within it from the appearance of his loins evenand upward; and from the appearance of his loins evenand downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire and itthere hadwas brightness round about him |
| 1:28 |
As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain so was the appearance of the brightness round about This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of theJehovah Lord And when I saw it I fell upon my face and I heard a voice of one that spake |
| 2:1 |
And he said unto me Son of man stand upon thy feet and I will speak untowith thee |
| 2:2 |
And the spiritSpirit entered into me when he spake unto me and set me upon my feet; thatand I heard him that spake unto me |
| 2:3 |
And he said unto me Son of man I send thee to the children of Israel to anations that are rebellious nationwhich thathave hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me even unto this very day |
| 2:4 |
ForAnd theythe children are impudent children and stiffhearted: I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them Thus saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 2:6 |
And thou son of man be not afraid of them neither be afraid of their words though briers and thorns beare with thee and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words nor be dismayed at their looks though they beare a rebellious house |
| 2:7 |
And thou shalt speak my words unto them whether they will hear or whether they will forbear:; for they are most rebellious |
| 2:8 |
But thou son of man hear what I say unto thee; Bebe not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth and eat that which I give thee |
| 2:9 |
And when I looked behold ana hand was sentput forth unto me; and lo a roll of a book was therein; |
| 2:10 |
Andand he spread it before me;: and it was written within and without:; and there waswere written therein lamentations and mourning and woe |
| 3:1 |
MoreoverAnd he said unto me Son of man eat that which thou findest; eat this roll and go speak unto the house of Israel |
| 3:2 |
So I opened my mouth and he caused me to eat thatthe roll |
| 3:5 |
For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of ana hard language but to the house of Israel; |
| 3:6 |
Notnot to many peoplepeoples of a strange speech and of ana hard language whose words thou canst not understand Surely hadif I sent thee to them they would havehearken hearkened unto thee |
| 3:7 |
But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudentof a hard forehead and hardheartedof a stiff heart |
| 3:8 |
Behold I have made thy face stronghard against their faces and thy forehead stronghard against their foreheads |
| 3:9 |
As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not neither be dismayed at their looks though they beare a rebellious house |
| 3:10 |
Moreover he said unto me Son of man all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thinethy heart and hear with thine ears |
| 3:11 |
And go get thee to them of the captivity unto the children of thy people and speak unto them and tell them Thus saith the Lord GodJehovah; whether they will hear or whether they will forbear |
| 3:12 |
Then the spiritSpirit tooklifted me up and I heard behind me athe voice of a great rushing saying Blessed be the glory of theJehovah Lord from his place |
| 3:13 |
And I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures thatas they touched one another and the noise of the wheels overbeside against them andeven athe noise of a great rushing |
| 3:14 |
So the spiritSpirit lifted me up and took me away; and I went in bitterness in the heat of my spirit; butand the hand of theJehovah Lord was strong upon me |
| 3:15 |
Then I came to them of the captivity at TelabibTel abib that dwelt by the river of Chebar and Ito sat where they satdwelt; and remainedI sat there astonishedoverwhelmed among them seven days |
| 3:16 |
And it came to pass at the end of seven days that the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 3:18 |
When I say unto the wicked Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thinethy hand |
| 3:20 |
Again Whenwhen a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness and commit iniquity and I lay a stumblingstumblingblock block before him he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning he shall die in his sin and his righteousnessrighteous deeds which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thinethy hand |
| 3:21 |
Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man that the righteous sin not and he doth not sin he shall surely live because he istook warnedwarning; alsoand thou hast delivered thy soul |
| 3:22 |
And the hand of theJehovah Lord was there upon me; and he said unto me Arise go forth into the plain and I will there talk with thee |
| 3:23 |
Then I arose and went forth into the plain: and behold the glory of theJehovah Lord stood there as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar:; and I fell on my face |
| 3:24 |
Then the spiritSpirit entered into me and set me upon my feet; and he spake with me and said unto me Go shut thyself within thinethy house |
| 3:25 |
But thou O son of man behold they shall putlay bands upon thee and shall bind thee with them and thou shalt not go out among them: |
| 3:26 |
Andand I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth that thou shalt be dumb and shalt not be to them a reprover:; for they are a rebellious house |
| 3:27 |
But when I speak with thee I will open thy mouth and thou shalt say unto them Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: He that heareth let him hear; and he that forbeareth let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house |
| 4:1 |
Thou also son of man take thee a tile and lay it before thee and pourtrayportray upon it thea city even Jerusalem: |
| 4:2 |
Andand lay siege against it and build aforts fort against it and cast up a mountmound against it; set thecamps camp also against it and setplant battering rams against it round about |
| 4:3 |
MoreoverAnd take thou unto thee an iron pan and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face againsttoward it and it shall be besieged and thou shalt lay siege against it This shall be a sign to the house of Israel |
| 4:4 |
LieMoreover lie thou also upon thy left side and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it:; according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity |
| 4:5 |
For I have laidappointed upon thee the years of their iniquity according to thebe unto thee a number of the days even three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel |
| 4:6 |
And again when thou hast accomplished themthese thou shalt lie again on thy right side and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah: forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year have I appointed it unto thee |
| 4:7 |
ThereforeAnd thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem andwith thine arm shall be uncovered; and thou shalt prophesy against it |
| 4:8 |
And behold I will lay bands upon thee and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to anotherthe other till thou hast endedaccomplished the days of thy siege |
| 4:9 |
Take thou also unto thee wheat and barley and beans and lentileslentils and millet and fitchesspelt and put them in one vessel and make thee bread thereof; according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side even three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof |
| 4:10 |
And thy meatfood which thou shalt eat shall be by weight twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it |
| 4:11 |
ThouAnd thou shalt drink also water by measure the sixth part of ana hin: from time to time shalt thou drink |
| 4:12 |
And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes and thou shalt bake it in their sight with dung that cometh out of man in their sight |
| 4:13 |
And theJehovah Lord said Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread unclean among the Gentilesnations whither I will drive them |
| 4:14 |
Then said I Ah Lord GodJehovah behold my soul hath not been polluted:; for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself or is torn inof piecesbeasts; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth |
| 4:15 |
Then he said unto me LoSee I have given thee cows dung for mans dung and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewiththereon |
| 4:16 |
Moreover he said unto me Son of man behold I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight and with carefearfulness; and they shall drink water by measure and within astonishmentdismay: |
| 4:17 |
Thatthat they may want bread and water and be astonieddismayed one with another and consumepine away forin their iniquity |
| 5:1 |
And thou son of man take thee a sharp knifesword; takeas thee a barbers razor shalt thou take it unto thee and shalt cause it to pass upon thinethy head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh and divide the hair |
| 5:2 |
ThouA third part shalt thou burn within the fire a third part in the midst of the city when the days of the siege are fulfilled:; and thou shalt take a third part and smite aboutwith itthe withsword around knife:about it; and a third part thou shalt scatter into the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them |
| 5:3 |
ThouAnd thou shalt also take thereof a few in number and bind them in thy skirts |
| 5:4 |
ThenAnd take of themthese again shalt thou take and cast them into the midst of the fire and burn them in the fire; fortherefrom thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel |
| 5:5 |
Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: This is Jerusalem:; I have set ither in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her |
| 5:6 |
And she hath changedrebelled myagainst judgmentsmine intoordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations and against my statutes more than the countries that are round about her:; for they have refusedrejected mymine judgmentsordinances and as for my statutes they have not walked in them |
| 5:7 |
Therefore thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Because ye multipliedare turbulent more than the nations that are round about you and have not walked in my statutes neither have kept mymine judgmentsordinances neither have done accordingafter to the judgmentsordinances of the nations that are round about you; |
| 5:8 |
Thereforetherefore thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Behold I even I am against thee; and I will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations |
| 5:10 |
Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments inon thee; and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter intounto all the winds |
| 5:11 |
Wherefore as I live saith the Lord God;Jehovah Surelysurely because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things and with all thine abominations therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare neitherand I also will I have anyno pity |
| 5:12 |
A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee:; and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and a third part I will scatter aunto third part into all the winds and I will draw out a sword after them |
| 5:13 |
Thus shall mine anger be accomplished and I will cause my furywrath toward them to rest upon them and I willshall be comforted: and they shall know that I theJehovah Lord have spoken it in my zeal when I have accomplished my furywrath inupon them |
| 5:14 |
Moreover I will make thee wastea desolation and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee in the sight of all that pass by |
| 5:15 |
So it shall be a reproach and a taunt an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee when I shall execute judgments inon thee in anger and in furywrath and in furiouswrathful rebukes I theJehovah Lord have spoken it; |
| 5:16 |
Whenwhen I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine whichthat shallare be for their destruction and which I will send to destroy you: andAnd I will increase the famine upon you and will break your staff of bread:; |
| 5:17 |
Soand I will I send upon you famine and evil beasts and they shall bereave thee:; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee: I theJehovah Lord have spoken it |
| 6:1 |
And the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 6:2 |
Son of man set thy face toward the mountains of Israel and prophesy againstunto them |
| 6:3 |
Andand say Ye mountains of Israel hear the word of the Lord God;Jehovah: Thus saith the Lord GodJehovah to the mountains and to the hills to the riverswatercourses and to the valleys;: Behold I even I will bring a sword upon you and I will destroy your high places |
| 6:4 |
And your altars shall bebecome desolate and your sun images shall be broken:; and I will cast down your slain men before your idols |
| 6:5 |
And I will lay the dead carcasesbodies of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars |
| 6:6 |
In all your dwellingplacesdwelling places the cities shall be laid waste and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate and your idols may be broken and cease and your sun images may be cuthewn down and your works may be abolished |
| 6:7 |
And the slain shall fall in the midst of you and ye shall know that I am the LordJehovah |
| 6:8 |
Yet will I leave a remnant in that ye mayshall have some that shall escape the sword among the nations when ye shall be scattered through the countries |
| 6:9 |
And theythose of you that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captivescaptive becausehow that I amhave been broken with their whorishlewd heart which hath departed from me and with their eyes which goplay athe whoringharlot after their idols: and they shall lotheloathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations |
| 6:10 |
And they shall know that I am theJehovah: Lord and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them |
| 6:11 |
Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Smite with thinethy hand and stamp with thy foot and say Alas forbecause of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they shall fall by the sword by the famine and by the pestilence |
| 6:12 |
He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my furywrath upon them |
| 6:13 |
ThenAnd ye shall ye know that I am theJehovah Lord when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars upon every high hill inon all the tops of the mountains and under every green tree and under every thick oak the placeplaces where they didoffered offer sweet savoursavor to all their idols |
| 6:14 |
SoAnd I will I stretch out my hand upon them and make the land desolate yeaand morewaste desolatefrom than the wilderness toward DiblathDiblah inthroughout all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the LordJehovah |
| 7:1 |
Moreover the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 7:2 |
AlsoAnd thou son of man thus saith the Lord GodJehovah unto the land of Israel; An end: the end is come upon the four corners of the land |
| 7:3 |
Now is the end come upon thee and I will send mine anger upon thee and will judge thee according to thy ways; and I will recompensebring upon thee all thine abominations |
| 7:4 |
And mine eye shall not spare thee neither will I have pity:; but I will recompensebring thy ways upon thee and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LordJehovah |
| 7:5 |
Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: An evil an only evil; behold isit comecometh |
| 7:6 |
An end is come the end is come:; it watchethawaketh foragainst thee; behold it iscometh come |
| 7:7 |
TheThy morningdoom is come unto thee O thouinhabitant thatof dwellest in the land: the time is come the day of trouble is near a day of tumult and not theof soundingjoyful againshouting ofupon the mountains |
| 7:8 |
Now will I shortly pour out my furywrath upon thee and accomplish mine anger uponagainst thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways; and I will recompensebring upon thee for all thine abominations |
| 7:9 |
And mine eye shall not spare neither will I have pity: I will recompensebring upon thee according to thy ways; and thine abominations thatshall arebe in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I amJehovah thedo Lord that smitethsmite |
| 7:10 |
Behold the day behold it is comecometh: thethy morningdoom is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed pride hath budded |
| 7:11 |
Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness:; none of them shall remain nor of their multitude nor of anytheir of theirswealth: neither shall there be wailingeminency foramong them |
| 7:12 |
The time is come the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller mourn:; for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof |
| 7:13 |
For the seller shall not return to that which is sold although they werebe yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof whichnone shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life |
| 7:14 |
They have blown the trumpet evenand tohave makemade all ready; but none goeth to the battle:; for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof |
| 7:16 |
But theythose of them that escape of them shall escape and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys all of them mourningmoaning every one forin his iniquity |
| 7:19 |
They shall cast their silver in the streets and their gold shall be removed:as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LordJehovah: they shall not satisfy their souls neither fill their bowels:; because it ishath been the stumblingblock of their iniquity |
| 7:20 |
As for the beauty of his ornament he set it in majesty:; but they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I setmade it farunto fromthem themas an unclean thing |
| 7:21 |
And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall polluteprofane it |
| 7:22 |
My face will I turn also from them and they shall polluteprofane my secret place:; forand the robbers shall enter into it and defileprofane it |
| 7:23 |
Make athe chain:; for the land is full of bloody crimes and the city is full of violence |
| 7:24 |
Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathennations and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomppride of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiledprofaned |
| 7:26 |
Mischief shall come upon mischief and rumourrumor shall be upon rumourrumor; thenand they shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest and counsel from the ancientselders |
| 7:27 |
The king shall mourn and the prince shall be clothed with desolation and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LordJehovah |
| 8:1 |
And it came to pass in the sixth year in the sixth month in the fifth day of the month as I sat in minemy house and the elders of Judah sat before me that the hand of the Lord GodJehovah fell there upon me |
| 8:2 |
Then I beheld and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire:; from the appearance of his loins evenand downward fire; and from his loins evenand upward as the appearance of brightness as theit colourwere ofglowing ambermetal |
| 8:3 |
And he put forth the form of ana hand and took me by a lock of minemy head; and the spiritSpirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem to the door of the gate of the inner gatecourt that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy which provoketh to jealousy |
| 8:4 |
And behold the glory of the God of Israel was there according to the visionappearance that I saw in the plain |
| 8:5 |
Then said he unto me Son of man lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north and behold northward atof the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry |
| 8:6 |
HeAnd he said furthermore unto me Son of man seest thou what they do even the great abominations that the house of Israel committethdo commit here that I should go far off from my sanctuary butBut turnthou theeshalt yet again andsee thouyet shaltother seegreat greater abominations |
| 8:9 |
And he said unto me Go in and beholdsee the wicked abominations that they do here |
| 8:10 |
So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things and abominable beasts and all the idols of the house of Israel pourtrayedportrayed upon the wall round about |
| 8:11 |
And there stood before them seventy men of the ancientselders of the house of Israel; and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan with every man with his censer in his hand; and athe thickodor of the cloud of incense went up |
| 8:12 |
Then said he unto me Son of man hast thou seen what the ancientselders of the house of Israel do in the dark every man in thehis chambers of his imagery for they say theJehovah Lord seeth us not; theJehovah Lord hath forsaken the earthland |
| 8:13 |
He said also unto me TurnThou theeshalt yet again andsee thouyet shaltother seegreat greater abominations thatwhich they do |
| 8:14 |
Then he brought me to the door of the gate of theJehovahs Lords house which was toward the north; and behold there sat the women weeping for Tammuz |
| 8:15 |
Then said he unto me Hast thou seen this O son of man turnthou theeshalt yet again andsee thouyet shalt see greater abominations than these |
| 8:16 |
And he brought me into the inner court of theJehovahs Lords house; and behold at the door of the temple of theJehovah Lord between the porch and the altar were about five and twenty men with their backs toward the temple of theJehovah Lord and their faces toward the east; and they worshippedwere worshipping the sun toward the east |
| 8:17 |
Then he said unto me Hast thou seen this O son of man Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here for they have filled the land with violence and have returnedturned again to provoke me to anger: and lo they put the branch to their nose |
| 8:18 |
Therefore will I also deal in fury:wrath; mine eye shall not spare neither will I have pity:; and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice yet will I not hear them |
| 9:1 |
HeThen he cried also in mine ears with a loud voice saying Cause ye them that have charge over the city to draw near even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand |
| 9:2 |
And behold six men came from the way of the higherupper gate which lieth toward the north and every man awith his slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man amongin the midst of them was clothed within linen with a writers inkhorn by his side: andAnd they went in and stood beside the brasenbrazen altar |
| 9:3 |
And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub whereupon heit was to the threshold of the house: Andand he called to the man clothed within linen whichwho had the writers inkhorn by his side; |
| 9:4 |
And theJehovah Lord said unto him Go through the midst of the city through the midst of Jerusalem and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry forover all the abominations that beare done in the midst thereof |
| 9:5 |
And to the others he said in minemy hearing Go ye after him through the city after him and smite: let not your eye spare neither have ye pity:; |
| 9:6 |
Slayslay utterly the old andman the young bothman maidsand the virgin and little children and women:; but come not near any man upon whom is the mark;: and begin at my sanctuary Then they began at the ancientold men whichthat were before the house |
| 9:7 |
And he said unto them Defile the house and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth And they went forth and slewsmote in the city |
| 9:8 |
And it came to pass while they were slayingsmiting them and I was left that I fell upon my face and cried and said Ah Lord GodJehovah wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy furywrath upon Jerusalem |
| 9:9 |
Then said he unto me The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great and the land is full of blood and the city full of perversenesswresting of judgment: for they say TheJehovah Lord hath forsaken the earthland and theJehovah Lord seeth not |
| 9:10 |
And as for me also mine eye shall not spare neither will I have pity but I will recompensebring their way upon their head |
| 9:11 |
And behold the man clothed within linen whichwho had the inkhorn by his side reported the matter saying I have done as thou hast commanded me |
| 10:1 |
Then I looked and behold in the firmament that was aboveover the head of the cherubimscherubim there appeared overabove them as it were a sapphire stone as the appearance of the likeness of a throne |
| 10:2 |
And he spake unto the man clothed within linen and said Go in between the whirling wheels even under the cherub and fill thineboth handthy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubimscherubim and scatter them over the city And he went in in my sight |
| 10:3 |
Now the cherubimscherubim stood on the right side of the house when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court |
| 10:4 |
ThenAnd the glory of theJehovah Lordmounted went up from the cherub and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud and the court was full of the brightness of theJehovahs Lordsglory glory |
| 10:5 |
And the sound of the cherubims wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court as the voice of theGod Almighty God when he speaketh |
| 10:6 |
And it came to pass that when he had commanded the man clothed within linen saying Take fire from between the whirling wheels from between the cherubims;cherubim thenthat he went in and stood beside thea wheelswheel |
| 10:7 |
And onethe cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubimscherubim unto the fire that was between the cherubimscherubim and took thereof and put it into the hands of him that was clothed within linen: who took it and went out |
| 10:8 |
And there appeared in the cherubimscherubim the form of a mans hand under their wings |
| 10:9 |
And when I looked and behold the four wheels bybeside the cherubimscherubim one wheel bybeside one cherub and another wheel bybeside another cherub:; and the appearance of the wheels was aslike theunto colour of a beryl stone |
| 10:10 |
And as for their appearancesappearance they four had one likeness as if a wheel had been inwithin the midst of a wheel |
| 10:11 |
When they went they went uponin their four sides;directions: they turned not as they went but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went |
| 10:13 |
As for the wheels itthey waswere criedcalled unto them in my hearing Othe wheelwhirling wheels |
| 10:14 |
And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of athe cherub and the second face was the face of a man and the third the face of a lion and the fourth the face of an eagle |
| 10:15 |
And the cherubimscherubim weremounted lifted up: Thisthis is the living creature that I saw by the river ofChebar Chebar |
| 10:16 |
And when the cherubimscherubim went the wheels went bybeside them:; and when the cherubimscherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth the same wheels also turned not from beside them |
| 10:17 |
When they stood these stood; and when they weremounted lifted up these liftedmounted up themselveswith alsothem: for the spirit of the living creature was in them |
| 10:18 |
ThenAnd the glory of theJehovah Lordwent departedforth from offover the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubimscherubim |
| 10:19 |
And the cherubimscherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went outforth and the wheels also were beside them: and everythey one stood at the door of the east gate of theJehovahs Lords house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above |
| 10:20 |
This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were thecherubim cherubims |
| 10:21 |
Every one had four faces apiece and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings |
| 10:22 |
And as for the likeness of their faces wasthey were the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar their appearances and themselves:; they went every one straight forward |
| 11:1 |
Moreover the spiritSpirit lifted me up and brought me unto the east gate of theJehovahs Lords house which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; amongand whom I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of AzurAzzur and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah princes of the people |
| 11:2 |
ThenAnd he said he unto me Son of man these are the men that devise mischiefiniquity and that give wicked counsel in this city:; |
| 11:3 |
Whichthat say ItThe time is not near; letto us build houses: this city is the caldron and we beare the flesh |
| 11:5 |
And the Spirit of theJehovah Lord fell upon me and he said unto me Speak; Thus saith theJehovah: Lord; Thus have ye said O house of Israel:; for I know the things that come into your mind every one of them |
| 11:7 |
Therefore thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it they are the flesh and this city is the caldron:; but Iye willshall bringbe youbrought forth out of the midst of it |
| 11:8 |
Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring athe sword upon you saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 11:9 |
And I will bring you forth out of the midst thereof and deliver you into the hands of strangers and will execute judgments among you |
| 11:10 |
Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am theJehovah Lord |
| 11:11 |
This city shall not be your caldron neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel:; |
| 11:12 |
Andand ye shall know that I am the LordJehovah: for ye have not walked in my statutes neither have ye executed mymine judgmentsordinances but have done after the mannersordinances of the heathennations that are round about you |
| 11:13 |
And it came to pass when I prophesied that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died Then fell I down upon my face and cried with a loud voice and said Ah Lord GodJehovah wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel |
| 11:14 |
AgainAnd the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 11:15 |
Son of man thy brethren even thy brethren the men of thy kindred and all the house of Israel whollyall of them are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said Get you far from theJehovah; Lord: unto us is this land given infor a possession |
| 11:16 |
Therefore say Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: AlthoughWhereas I have castremoved them far off among the heathennations and althoughwhereas I have scattered them among the countries yet will I be to them asa sanctuary for a little sanctuarywhile in the countries where they shallare come |
| 11:17 |
Therefore say Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: I will even gather you from the peoplepeoples and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered and I will give you the land of Israel |
| 11:19 |
And I will give them one heart and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh and will give them ana heart of flesh:; |
| 11:20 |
Thatthat they may walk in my statutes and keep mine ordinances and do them: and they shall be my people and I will be their God |
| 11:21 |
But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations I will recompensebring their way upon their own heads saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 11:22 |
Then did the cherubimscherubim lift up their wings and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above |
| 11:23 |
And the glory of theJehovah 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 |
AfterwardsAnd the spiritSpirit tooklifted me up and brought me in athe vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea to them of the captivity So the vision that I had seen went up from me |
| 11:25 |
Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that theJehovah Lord had shewedshowed me |
| 12:1 |
The word of theJehovah Lord also came unto me saying |
| 12:2 |
Son of man thou dwellest in the midst of athe rebellious house whichthat have eyes to see and see not; theythat have ears to hear and hear not:; for they are a rebellious house |
| 12:3 |
Therefore thou son of man prepare thee stuff for removing and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider though they beare a rebellious house |
| 12:4 |
ThenAnd thou shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight as stuff for removing:; and thou shalt go forth thyself at even in their sight as theywhen thatmen go forth into captivityexile |
| 12:6 |
In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shouldersshoulder and carry it forth in the twilight:dark; thou shalt cover thy face that thou see not the groundland: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel |
| 12:7 |
And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day as stuff for captivityremoving and in the even I digged through the wall with minemy hand; I brought it forth in the twilightdark and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight |
| 12:8 |
And in the morning came the word of theJehovah Lord unto me saying |
| 12:10 |
Say thou unto them Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel thatamong whom they are among them |
| 12:11 |
Say I am your sign: like as I have done so shall it be done unto them:; they shall removego andinto goexile into captivity |
| 12:12 |
And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilightdark and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face thatbecause he seeshall not see the groundland with his eyes |
| 12:13 |
My net also will I spread upon him and he shall be taken in my snare:; and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it though he shall die there |
| 12:14 |
And I will scatter toward every wind all that are round about him to help him and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them |
| 12:15 |
And they shall know that I am theJehovah Lord when I shall scatterdisperse them among the nations and dispersescatter them inthrough the countries |
| 12:16 |
But I will leave a few men of them from the sword from the famine and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathennations whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LordJehovah |
| 12:17 |
Moreover the word of theJehovah Lord came to me saying |
| 12:18 |
Son of man eat thy bread with quaking and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulnessfearfulness; |
| 12:19 |
Andand say unto the people of the land Thus saith the Lord GodJehovah ofconcerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem and of the land of Israel;: They shall eat their bread with carefulnessfearfulness and drink their water within astonishmentdismay that her land may be desolate fromand despoiled of all that is therein because of the violence of all them that dwell therein |
| 12:20 |
And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste and the land shall be desolatea desolation; and ye shall know that I am the LordJehovah |
| 12:21 |
And the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 12:22 |
Son of man what is thatthis proverb that ye have in the land of Israel saying The days are prolonged and every vision faileth |
| 12:23 |
Tell them therefore Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: I will make this proverb to cease and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them The days are at hand and the effectfulfilment of every vision |
| 12:24 |
For there shall be no more any vainfalse vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel |
| 12:25 |
For I am theJehovah; Lord: I will speak and the word that I shall speak shall comebe to passperformed; it shall be no more prolongeddeferred: for in your days O rebellious house will I sayspeak the word and will perform it saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 12:26 |
Again the word of theJehovah Lord came to me saying |
| 12:27 |
Son of man behold they of the house of Israel say The vision that he seeth is for many days to come and he prophesieth of the times that are far off |
| 12:28 |
Therefore say unto them Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: There shall none of my words be prolongeddeferred any more but the word which I haveshall spokenspeak shall be doneperformed saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 13:1 |
And the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 13:2 |
Son of man prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own heartsheart Hear ye the word of theJehovah: Lord; |
| 13:3 |
Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah Woe unto the foolish prophets that follow their own spirit and have seen nothing |
| 13:4 |
O Israel thy prophets arehave been like the foxes in the desertswaste places |
| 13:5 |
Ye have not gone up into the gaps neither madebuilt up the hedgewall for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of theJehovah Lord |
| 13:6 |
They have seen vanityfalsehood and lying divination sayingthat Thesay LordJehovah saith:; andbut theJehovah Lord hath not sent them: and they have made othersmen to hope that theythe word would confirmbe theconfirmed word |
| 13:7 |
Have ye not seen a vainfalse vision and have ye not spoken a lying divination whereasin that ye say TheJehovah Lord saith it; albeit I have not spoken |
| 13:8 |
Therefore thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Because ye have spoken vanityfalsehood and seen lies therefore behold I am against you saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 13:9 |
And minemy hand shall be uponagainst the prophets that see vanityfalse visions and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assemblycouncil of my people neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GodJehovah |
| 13:10 |
Because even because they have seduced my people saying Peace; and there wasis no peace; and when one builtbuildeth up a wall andbehold lothey othersdaub daubed it with untempered mortermortar: |
| 13:11 |
Saysay unto them whichthat daub it with untempered mortermortar that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye O great hailstones shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it |
| 13:13 |
Therefore thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my furywrath; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger and great hailstones in mywrath fury to consume it |
| 13:14 |
So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered mortermortar and bring it down to the ground so that the foundation thereof shall be discovereduncovered; and it shall fall and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am theJehovah Lord |
| 13:15 |
Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall and upon them that have daubed it with untempered mortermortar; and I will say unto you The wall is no more neither they that daubed it; |
| 13:16 |
Toto wit the prophets of Israel whichthat prophesy concerning Jerusalem and whichthat see visions of peace for her and there is no peace saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 13:17 |
LikewiseAnd thou son of man set thy face against the daughters of thy people whichthat prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them |
| 13:18 |
Andand say Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Woe to the women that sew pillows toupon all armholeselbows and make kerchiefs uponfor the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls Will ye hunt the souls of my people and will ye save the souls alive thatfor comeyourselves unto you |
| 13:19 |
And will ye pollutehave profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread to slay the souls that should not die and to save the souls alive that should not live by your lying to my people that hearhearken yourunto lies |
| 13:20 |
Wherefore thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Behold I am against your pillows wherewith ye there 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 ye hunt to make them fly |
| 13:21 |
Your kerchiefs also will I tear and deliver my people out of your hand and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am theJehovah Lord |
| 13:22 |
Because with lies ye have madegrieved the heart of the righteous sad whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked that he should not return from his wicked way byand promisingbe himsaved life:alive; |
| 13:23 |
Thereforetherefore ye shall see no more vanitysee false visions nor divine divinations: forand I will deliver my people out of your hand:; and ye shall know that I am the LordJehovah |
| 14:2 |
And the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 14:3 |
Son of man these men have settaken up their idols ininto their heart and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquiredinquired of at all by them |
| 14:4 |
Therefore speak unto them and say unto them Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Every man of the house of Israel that settethtaketh up his idols ininto his heart and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face and cometh to the prophet; I theJehovah Lord will answer him thattherein cometh according to the multitude of his idols; |
| 14:5 |
Thatthat I may take the house of Israel in their own heart because they are all estranged from me through their idols |
| 14:6 |
Therefore say unto the house of Israel Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: RepentReturn ye and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations |
| 14:7 |
For every one of the house of Israel or of the strangerstrangers that sojournethsojourn in Israel whichthat separateth himself from me and settethtaketh up his idols ininto his heart and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face and cometh to athe prophet to enquireinquire offor himhimself concerningof me; I theJehovah Lord will answer him by myself: |
| 14:8 |
Andand I will set my face against that man and will make him an astonishment for a sign and a proverb and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am theJehovah Lord |
| 14:9 |
And if the prophet be deceived whenand hespeak hath spoken a thingword I theJehovah Lord have deceived that prophet and I will stretch out my hand upon him and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel |
| 14:10 |
And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishmentiniquity of the prophet shall be even as the punishmentiniquity of him that seeketh unto him; |
| 14:11 |
Thatthat the house of Israel may go no more astray from me neither bedefile pollutedthemselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people and I may be their God saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 14:12 |
TheAnd the word of theJehovah Lord came againunto to me saying |
| 14:13 |
Son of man when thea land sinneth against me by trespassingcommitting grievouslya thentrespass willand I stretch out minemy hand upon it and will break the staff of the bread thereof and will send famine upon it and will cut off from it man and beast; from it: |
| 14:14 |
Thoughthough these three men Noah Daniel and Job were in it they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 14:15 |
If I cause noisomeevil beasts to pass through the land and they spoilravage it soand that it be made desolate so that no man may pass through because of the beasts:; |
| 14:16 |
Thoughthough these three men were in it as I live saith the Lord GodJehovah they shallshould deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shallshould be delivered but the land shallshould be desolate |
| 14:17 |
Or if I bring a sword upon that land and say Sword go through the land; so that I cut off from it man and beast; from it: |
| 14:18 |
Thoughthough these three men were in it as I live saith the Lord GodJehovah they shallshould deliver neither sons nor daughters but they only shallshould be delivered themselves |
| 14:19 |
Or if I send a pestilence into that land and pour out my furywrath upon it in blood to cut off from it man and beast:; |
| 14:20 |
Thoughthough Noah Daniel and Job were in it as I live saith the Lord GodJehovah they shallshould deliver neither son nor daughter; they shallshould but deliver their own souls by their righteousness |
| 14:21 |
For thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem the sword and the famine and the noisomeevil beastbeasts and the pestilence to cut off from it man and beast |
| 14:22 |
Yet behold therein shall be left a remnant that shall be broughtcarried forth both sons and daughters: behold they shall come forth unto you and ye shall see their way and their doings:; and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem even concerning all that I have brought upon it |
| 14:23 |
And they shall comfort you when ye see their waysway and their doings:; and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 15:1 |
And the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 15:2 |
Son of man what is the vine tree more than any tree orthe thanvine a branch which is among the trees of the forest |
| 15:3 |
Shall wood be taken thereof to domake any work or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon |
| 15:4 |
Behold it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devourethhath devoured both the ends of it and the midst of it is burned: Isis it meetprofitable for any work |
| 15:5 |
Behold when it was whole it was meet for no work: how much less shall it be meet yet for any work when the fire hath devoured it and it is burned shall it yet be meet for any work |
| 15:6 |
Therefore thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: As the vine tree among the trees of the forest which I have given to the fire for fuel so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem |
| 15:7 |
And I will set my face against them; they shall go outforth from onethe fire andbut anotherthe fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am theJehovah Lord when I set my face against them |
| 15:8 |
And I will make the land desolate because they have committed a trespass saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 16:1 |
Again the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 16:2 |
Son of man cause Jerusalem to know her abominations; |
| 16:3 |
Andand say Thus saith the Lord GodJehovah unto Jerusalem;: Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaanthe Canaanite; thythe fatherAmorite was anthy Amoritefather and thy mother anwas a Hittite |
| 16:4 |
And as for thy nativity in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut neither wast thou washed in water to supplecleanse thee; thou wast not salted at all nor swaddled at all |
| 16:5 |
NoneNo eye pitied thee to do any of these things unto thee to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field tofor thethat lothing of thy person was abhorred in the day that thou wast born |
| 16:6 |
And when I passed by thee and saw thee pollutedweltering in thinethy own blood I said unto thee whenThough thou wastart in thy blood Livelive; yea I said unto thee whenThough thou wastart in thy blood Livelive |
| 16:7 |
I have caused thee to multiply as thethat budwhich ofgroweth in the field and thou hastdidst increasedincrease and waxenwax great and thou artattainedst come to excellent ornaments:ornament; thy breasts arewere fashioned and thinethy hair iswas grown; whereasyet thou wast naked and bare |
| 16:8 |
Now when I passed by thee and looked upon thee behold thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee and covered thy nakedness: yea I sware unto thee and entered into a covenant with thee saith the Lord GodJehovah and thou becamest mine |
| 16:9 |
Then washed I thee with water; yea I throughlythoroughly washed away thy blood from thee and I anointed thee with oil |
| 16:10 |
I clothed thee also with broidered work and shod thee with badgerssealskin skin and I girded thee about with fine linen and I covered thee with silk |
| 16:11 |
And I decked thee also with ornaments and I put bracelets upon thy hands and a chain on thy neck |
| 16:12 |
And I put a jewelring onupon thy foreheadnose and earringsear rings in thine ears and a beautiful crown upon thinethy head |
| 16:13 |
Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen and silk and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour and honey and oil:; and thou wast exceeding beautiful and thou didst prosper intounto aroyal kingdomestate |
| 16:14 |
And thy renown went forth among the heathennations for thy beauty:; for it was perfect through my comelinessmajesty which I had put upon thee saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 16:15 |
But thou didst trust in thinethy own beauty and playedst the harlot because of thy renown and pouredst out thy fornicationswhoredoms on every one that passed by; his it was |
| 16:16 |
And thou didst take of thy garments thouand didstmadest takefor andthee deckedst thy high places decked with divers colourscolors and playedst the harlot thereuponupon them: the like things shall not come neither shall it be so |
| 16:17 |
Thou hastdidst also takentake thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver which I had given thee and madest tofor thyselfthee images of men and didst commitplay whoredomthe harlot with them; |
| 16:18 |
Andand thou tookest thy broidered garments and coveredst them: and thoudidst hast set mine oil and mine incense before them |
| 16:19 |
My meatbread also which I gave thee fine flour and oil and honey wherewith I fed thee thou hastdidst even set it before them for a sweet savour:savor; and thus it was saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 16:20 |
Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters whom thou hast borne unto me and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured IsWere this of thy whoredoms a small matter |
| 16:21 |
Thatthat thou hast slain my children and delivered them toup causein causing them to pass through the fire forunto them |
| 16:22 |
And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth when thou wast naked and bare and wast pollutedweltering in thy blood |
| 16:23 |
And it cameis come to pass after all thy wickedness woe woe unto thee saith the Lord God;Jehovah |
| 16:24 |
Thatthat thou hast also built unto thee ana eminentvaulted place and hast made thee ana highlofty place in every street |
| 16:25 |
Thou hast built thy highlofty place at everythe head of theevery way and hast made thy beauty toan beabomination abhorred and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by and multiplied thy whoredomswhoredom |
| 16:26 |
Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighboursneighbors great of flesh; and hast increasedmultiplied thy whoredomswhoredom to provoke me to anger |
| 16:27 |
Behold therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee and have diminished thine ordinary food and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee the daughters of the Philistines whichthat are ashamed of thy lewd way |
| 16:28 |
Thou hast played the whoreharlot also with the Assyrians because thou wast unsatiableinsatiable; yea thou hast played the harlot with them and yet couldestthou wast not besatisfied satisfied |
| 16:29 |
Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornicationwhoredom inunto the land of Canaantraffic unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied therewithherewith |
| 16:30 |
How weak is thinethy heart saith the Lord GodJehovah seeing thou doest all these things the work of an imperiousimpudent whorishharlot; woman; |
| 16:31 |
Inin that thou buildest thinethy eminentvaulted place inat the head of every way and makest thinethy highlofty place in every street; and hast not been as ana harlot in that thou scornest hire; |
| 16:32 |
ButA as a wife that committeth adultery whichthat taketh strangers instead of her husband |
| 16:33 |
They give gifts to all whores:harlots; but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers and hirestbribest them that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredomwhoredoms |
| 16:34 |
And thethou contraryart isdifferent in thee from other women in thy whoredoms whereasin that none followeth thee to commitplay whoredoms:the harlot; and inwhereas that thou givest ahire reward and no rewardhire is given unto thee therefore thou art contrarydifferent |
| 16:35 |
Wherefore O harlot hear the word of theJehovah: Lord: |
| 16:36 |
Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah Because thy filthiness was poured out and thy nakedness discovereduncovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers; and withbecause of all the idols of thy abominations and byfor the blood of thy children whichthat thou didst give unto them; |
| 16:37 |
Behold therefore behold I will gather all thy lovers with whom thou hast taken pleasure and all them that thou hast loved with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee on every side and will discoveruncover thy nakedness unto them that they may see all thy nakedness |
| 16:38 |
And I will judge thee as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will givebring upon thee the blood inof furywrath and jealousy |
| 16:39 |
And I will also give thee into their hand and they shall throw down thinethy eminentvaulted place and shall break down thy highlofty places:; and they shall strip thee also of thy clothes and shall take thy fair jewels; and they shall leave thee naked and bare |
| 16:41 |
And they shall burn thinethy houses with fire and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women:; and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot and thou shalt also shalt give no hire any more |
| 16:42 |
So will I makecause my furywrath toward thee to rest and my jealousy shall depart from thee and I will be quiet and will be no more angry |
| 16:43 |
Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth but hast frettedraged against me in all these things; therefore behold therefore I also will recompensebring thy way upon thinethy head saith the Lord GodJehovah: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness abovewith all thine abominations |
| 16:45 |
Thou art the daughter of thy mothersmother daughter that lothethloatheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters whichwho lothedloathed their husbands and their children: your mother was ana Hittite and your father an Amorite |
| 16:46 |
And thine elder sister is Samaria she and her daughters that dwelldwelleth at thy left hand: she and her daughters; and thy younger sister that dwelleth at thy right hand is Sodom and her daughters |
| 16:47 |
Yet hast thou not walked afterin their ways nor done after their abominations:; but as if that were a very little thing thou wast corrupted more corrupt than they in all thy ways |
| 16:48 |
As I live saith the Lord GodJehovah Sodom thy sister hath not done she nor her daughters as thou hast done thou and thy daughters |
| 16:49 |
Behold this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom: pride fulness of bread and abundanceprosperous ofease idleness was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy |
| 16:51 |
Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they and hast justified thy sisters inby all thine abominations which thou hast done |
| 16:52 |
Thou also whichbear hastthou judgedthine thyown sistersshame bearin thinethat ownthou shamehast given judgment for thy sisters; through thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea be thou also confounded also and bear thy shame in that thou hast justified thy sisters |
| 16:53 |
WhenAnd I shallwill bringturn again their captivity the captivity of Sodom and her daughters and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters thenand will I bring again the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:; |
| 16:54 |
Thatthat thou mayest bear thine own shame and mayest be confoundedashamed inbecause of all that thou hast done in that thou art a comfort unto them |
| 16:55 |
WhenAnd thy sisters Sodom and her daughters shall return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate; thenand thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate |
| 16:57 |
Beforebefore thy wickedness was discovereduncovered as at the time of thythe reproach of the daughters of Syria and of all that are round about her the daughters of the Philistines whichthat despisedo despite unto thee round about |
| 16:58 |
Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations saith theJehovah Lord |
| 16:59 |
For thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: I will evenalso deal with thee as thou hast done whichwho hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant |
| 16:61 |
Then shalt thou shalt remember thy ways and be ashamed when thou shalt receive thy sisters thine elder sisters and thy younger:; and I will give them unto thee for daughters but not by thy covenant |
| 16:62 |
And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am theJehovah; Lord: |
| 16:63 |
Thatthat thou mayest remember and be confounded and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame when I amhave pacifiedforgiven toward thee for all that thou hast done saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 17:1 |
And the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 17:3 |
Andand say Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: A great eagle with great wings longwingedand long pinions full of feathers which had divers colourscolors came unto Lebanon and took the highesttop branch of the cedar: |
| 17:4 |
Hehe cropped off the toptopmost of histhe young twigs thereof and carried it intounto a land of trafficktraffic; he set it in a city of merchants |
| 17:5 |
He took also of the seed of the land and planted it in a fruitful fieldsoil; he placed it bybeside greatmany waters; andhe set it as a willow tree |
| 17:7 |
There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and behold this vine did bend herits roots toward him and shot forth herits branches toward him from the beds of its plantation that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation |
| 17:8 |
It was planted in a good soil by greatmany waters that it might bring forth branches and that it might bear fruit that it might be a goodly vine |
| 17:9 |
Say thou Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Shall it prosper shall he not pull up the roots thereof and cut off the fruit thereof that it may wither; itthat shallall witherits infresh allspringing the leaves ofmay herwither springand evennot withoutby greata powerstrong arm or manymuch people tocan pluck it upbe byraised from the roots thereof |
| 17:10 |
Yea behold being planted shall it prosper shall it not utterly wither when the east wind toucheth it it shall wither in the furrowsbeds where it grew |
| 17:11 |
Moreover the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 17:12 |
Say now to the rebellious house Know ye not what these things mean tell them Behold the king of Babylon iscame come to Jerusalem and hathtook taken the king thereof and the princes thereof and ledbrought them withto him to Babylon; |
| 17:13 |
And hathhe takentook of the kings seed royal and made a covenant with him; andhe hathalso takenbrought him under an oath ofand him:took heaway hath also taken the mighty of the land:; |
| 17:14 |
Thatthat the kingdom might be base that it might not lift itself up but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand |
| 17:15 |
But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt that they might give him horses and much people Shall he prosper shall he escape that doeth such things or shall he break the covenant and beyet deliveredescape |
| 17:16 |
As I live saith the Lord GodJehovah surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king whose oath he despised and whose covenant he brake even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die |
| 17:17 |
Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company makehelp for him in the war bywhen castingthey cast up mountsmounds and buildingbuild forts to cut off many persons: |
| 17:18 |
SeeingFor he hath despised the oath by breaking the covenant; whenand lobehold he had given his hand and yet hath done all these things; he shall not escape |
| 17:19 |
Therefore thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: As I live surely mine oath that he hath despised and my covenant that he hath broken evenI it will Ieven recompensebring it upon his own head |
| 17:20 |
And I will spread my net upon him and he shall be taken in my snare and I will bring him to Babylon and will pleadenter into judgment with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me |
| 17:21 |
And all his fugitives within all his bands shall fall by the sword and they that remain shall be scattered toward allevery windswind: and ye shall know that I theJehovah Lord have spoken it |
| 17:22 |
Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: I will also take of the highestlofty branchtop of the high cedar and will set it; I will crop off from the toptopmost of hisits young twigs a tender one and I will plant it upon ana high mountain and eminentlofty mountain: |
| 17:23 |
Inin the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it:; and it shall bring forth boughs and bear fruit and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowlbirds of every wing; in the shadowshade of the branches thereof shall they dwell |
| 17:24 |
And all the trees of the field shall know that I theJehovah Lord have brought down the high tree have exalted the low tree have dried up the green tree and have made the dry tree to flourish: I theJehovah Lord have spoken and have done it |
| 18:1 |
The word of theJehovah Lord came unto me again saying |
| 18:3 |
As I live saith the Lord GodJehovah ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel |
| 18:6 |
Andand hath not eaten upon the mountains neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel neither hath defiled his neighboursneighbors wife neither hath come near to a menstruouswoman womanin her impurity |
| 18:7 |
Andand hath not oppressedwronged any but hath restored to the debtor his pledge hath spoiledtaken nonenought by violencerobbery hath given his bread to the hungry and hath covered the naked with a garment; |
| 18:8 |
Hehe that hath not given forth upon usuryinterest neither hath taken any increase that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity hath executed true judgmentjustice between man and man |
| 18:9 |
Hathhath walked in my statutes and hath kept mymine judgmentsordinances to deal truly; he is just he shall surely live saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 18:10 |
If he beget a son that is a robber a shedder of blood and that doeth the like to any one of these things |
| 18:11 |
Andand that doeth not any of those duties but even hath eaten upon the mountains and defiled his neighboursneighbors wife |
| 18:12 |
Hathhath oppressedwronged the poor and needy hath spoiledtaken by violencerobbery hath not restored the pledge and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols hath committed abomination |
| 18:13 |
Hathhath given forth upon usuryinterest and hath taken increase:; shall he then live he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him |
| 18:14 |
Now lo if he beget a son that seeth all his fathers sins which he hath done and considerethfeareth and doeth not such like; |
| 18:15 |
Thatthat hath not eaten upon the mountains neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel hath not defiled his neighboursneighbors wife |
| 18:16 |
Neitherneither hath oppressedwronged any hath not withholdentaken theaught to pledge neither hath spoiledtaken by violencerobbery but hath given his bread to the hungry and hath covered the naked with a garment; |
| 18:17 |
Thatthat hath takenwithdrawn off his hand from the poor that hath not received usuryinterest nor increase hath executed mymine judgmentsordinances hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father he shall surely live |
| 18:18 |
As for his father because he cruelly oppressed spoiledrobbed his brother by violence and did that which is not good among his people lobehold even he shall die in his iniquity |
| 18:19 |
Yet say ye WhyWherefore doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father When the son hath done that which is lawful and right and hath kept all my statutes and hath done them he shall surely live |
| 18:20 |
The soul that sinneth it shall die: Thethe son shall not bear the iniquity of the father neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son:; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him |
| 18:21 |
But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed and keep all my statutes and do that which is lawful and right he shall surely live he shall not die |
| 18:22 |
AllNone of his transgressions that he hath committed they shall not be mentionedremembered untoagainst him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live |
| 18:23 |
Have I any pleasure atin allthe thatdeath of the wicked should die saith the Lord God:Jehovah; and not rather that he should return from his waysway and live |
| 18:24 |
But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness and committeth iniquity and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth shall he live AllNone of his righteousnessrighteous deeds that he hath done shall not be mentionedremembered: in his trespass that he hath trespassed and in his sin that he hath sinned in them shall he die |
| 18:25 |
Yet ye say The way of the Lord is not equal Hear now O house of Israel;: Is not my way equal are not your ways unequal |
| 18:26 |
When athe righteous man turneth away from his righteousness and committeth iniquity and dieth in themtherein; forin his iniquity that he hath done shall he die |
| 18:30 |
Therefore I will judge you O house of Israel every one according to his ways saith the Lord GodJehovah RepentReturn ye and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin |
| 18:31 |
Cast away from you all your transgressions wherebywherein ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die O house of Israel |
| 18:32 |
For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth saith the Lord GodJehovah: wherefore turn yourselves and live ye |
| 19:2 |
Andand say What iswas thy mother A lioness: she laycouched down among lions in the midst of the young lions she nourished her whelps among young lions |
| 19:3 |
And she brought up one of her whelps: ithe became a young lion and ithe learned to catch the prey; ithe devoured men |
| 19:4 |
The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit; and they brought him with chainshooks unto the land of Egypt |
| 19:6 |
And he went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion and he learned to catch the prey; andhe devoured men |
| 19:7 |
And he knew their desolate palaces and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate and the fulness thereof bybecause of the noise of his roaring |
| 19:8 |
Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces; and they spread their net over him:; he was taken in their pit |
| 19:9 |
And they put him in warda incage chainswith hooks and brought him to the king of Babylon:; they brought him into holdsstrongholds that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel |
| 19:10 |
Thy mother iswas like a vine in thy blood planted by the waters: sheit was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters |
| 19:11 |
And sheit had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule and hertheir stature was exalted among the thick branchesboughs and shethey appearedwere seen in hertheir height with the multitude of hertheir branches |
| 19:12 |
But sheit was plucked up in fury sheit was cast down to the ground and the east wind dried up herits fruit: herits strong rods were broken off and withered; the fire consumed them |
| 19:13 |
And now sheit is planted in the wilderness in a dry and thirsty groundland |
| 19:14 |
And fire is gone out of athe rodrods of herits branches whichit hath devoured herits fruit so that shethere hathis in it no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule This is a lamentation and shall be for a lamentation |
| 20:1 |
And it came to pass in the seventh year in the fifth month the tenth day of the month that certain of the elders of Israel came to enquireinquire of theJehovah Lord and sat before me |
| 20:2 |
ThenAnd came the word of theJehovah Lordcame unto me saying |
| 20:3 |
Son of man speak unto the elders of Israel and say unto them Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: AreIs yeit come to enquireinquire of me that ye are come As I live saith the Lord GodJehovah I will not be enquiredinquired of by you |
| 20:4 |
Wilt thou judge them son of man wilt thou judge them causeCause them to know the abominations of their fathers:; |
| 20:5 |
Andand say unto them Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: In the day when I chose Israel and liftedsware up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt when I liftedsware up mine hand unto them saying I am theJehovah Lord your God; |
| 20:6 |
Inin thethat day that I liftedsware up mine hand unto them to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espiedsearched out for them flowing with milk and honey which is the glory of all lands: |
| 20:7 |
ThenAnd I said I unto them Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt:; I am theJehovah Lord your God |
| 20:8 |
But they rebelled against me and would not hearken unto me:; they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: thenThen I said I willwould pour out my furywrath upon them to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt |
| 20:9 |
But I wrought for my names sake that it should not be pollutedprofaned beforein the heathensight of the nations among whomwhich they were in whose sight I made myself known unto them in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt |
| 20:10 |
WhereforeSo I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness |
| 20:11 |
And I gave them my statutes and shewedshowed them mymine judgmentsordinances which if a man do he shall even live in them |
| 20:12 |
Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths to be a sign between me and them that they might know that I am theJehovah Lord that sanctifysanctifieth them |
| 20:13 |
But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes and they despisedrejected mymine judgmentsordinances which if a man dokeep he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted:profaned thenThen I said I would pour out my furywrath upon them in the wilderness to consume them |
| 20:14 |
But I wrought for my names sake that it should not be pollutedprofaned beforein the heathensight of the nations in whose sight I brought them out |
| 20:15 |
YetMoreover also I liftedsware up my hand unto them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them flowing with milk and honey which is the glory of all lands; |
| 20:16 |
Becausebecause they despisedrejected mymine judgmentsordinances and walked not in my statutes butand pollutedprofaned my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols |
| 20:17 |
Nevertheless mine eye spared them fromand destroyingI destroyed them not neither did I make ana full end of them in the wilderness |
| 20:18 |
ButAnd I said unto their children in the wilderness Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers neither observe their judgmentsordinances nor defile yourselves with their idols: |
| 20:19 |
I am theJehovah Lord your God;: walk in my statutes and keep mymine judgmentsordinances and do them; |
| 20:20 |
Andand hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you that ye may know that I am theJehovah Lord your God |
| 20:21 |
NotwithstandingBut the children rebelled against me:; they walked not in my statutes neither kept mymine judgmentsordinances to do them which if a man do he shall even live in them; they pollutedprofaned my sabbaths: thenThen I said I would pour out my furywrath upon them to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness |
| 20:22 |
Nevertheless I withdrew minemy hand and wrought for my names sake that it should not be pollutedprofaned in the sight of the heathennations in whose sight I brought them forth |
| 20:23 |
Moreover I liftedsware up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness that I would scatter them among the heathennations and disperse them through the countries; |
| 20:24 |
Becausebecause they had not executed mymine judgmentsordinances but had despisedrejected my statutes and had pollutedprofaned my sabbaths and their eyes were after their fathers idols |
| 20:25 |
WhereforeMoreover also I gave them also statutes that were not good and judgmentsordinances wherebywherein they should not live; |
| 20:26 |
Andand I polluted them in their own gifts in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb that I might make them desolate to the end that they might know that I am the LordJehovah |
| 20:27 |
Therefore son of man speak unto the house of Israel and say unto them Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: YetIn in this moreover have your fathers have blasphemed me in that they have committed a trespass against me |
| 20:28 |
For when I had brought them into the land for the which I liftedsware up mine hand to give itunto to them then they saw every high hill and allevery the thick treestree and they offered there their sacrifices and there they presented the provocation of their offering:; there also they made their sweet savoursavor and they poured out there their drink offerings |
| 20:29 |
Then I said unto them What ismeaneth the high place whereunto ye go AndSo the name whereofthereof is called Bamah unto this day |
| 20:30 |
Wherefore say unto the house of Israel Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: AreDo ye pollutedpollute yourselves after the manner of your fathers and commitplay ye whoredomthe harlot after their abominations |
| 20:31 |
Forand when ye offer your gifts when ye make your sons to pass through the fire do ye pollute yourselves with all your idols even unto this day: and shall I be enquiredinquired of by you O house of Israel As I live saith the Lord GodJehovah I will not be enquiredinquired of by you; |
| 20:32 |
Andand that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all in that ye say We will be as the heathennations as the families of the countries to serve wood and stone |
| 20:33 |
As I live saith the Lord GodJehovah surely with a mighty hand and with aan stretchedoutstretched out arm and with furywrath poured out will I rulebe king over you: |
| 20:34 |
And I will bring you out from the peoplepeoples and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered with a mighty hand and with aan stretchedoutstretched out arm and with furywrath poured out; |
| 20:35 |
Andand I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoplepeoples and there will I pleadenter into judgment with you face to face |
| 20:36 |
Like as I pleadedentered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt so will I pleadenter into judgment with you saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 20:37 |
And I will cause you to pass under the rod and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:; |
| 20:38 |
Andand I will purge out from among you the rebels and them that transgress against me:; I will bring them forth out of the countryland where they sojourn andbut they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am theJehovah Lord |
| 20:39 |
As for you O house of Israel thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Go ye serve ye every one his idols and hereafter also if ye will not hearken unto me:; but pollute ye my holy name shall ye no more profane with your gifts and with your idols |
| 20:40 |
For in minemy holy mountain in the mountain of the height of Israel saith the Lord GodJehovah there shall all the house of Israel all of them serve me in the land serve me: there will I accept them and there will I require your offerings and the firstfruitsfirst fruits of your oblations with all your holy things |
| 20:41 |
IAs willa acceptsweet yousavor withwill yourI sweetaccept savouryou when I bring you out from the peoplepeoples and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you beforein the heathensight of the nations |
| 20:42 |
And ye shall know that I am theJehovah Lord when I shall bring you into the land of Israel into the country for the which I liftedsware up mine hand to give itunto to your fathers |
| 20:43 |
And there shall ye remember your ways and all your doings wherein ye have beenpolluted defiledyourselves; and ye shall lotheloathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed |
| 20:44 |
And ye shall know that I am theJehovah Lord when I have wroughtdealt with you for my names sake not according to your wickedevil ways nor according to your corrupt doings O ye house of Israel saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 20:45 |
MoreoverAnd the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 20:46 |
Son of man set thy face toward the south and drop thy word toward the south and prophesy against the forest of the southfield fieldin the South; |
| 20:47 |
Andand say to the forest of the southSouth Hear the word of theJehovah: Lord; Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah Behold I will kindle a fire in thee and it shall devour every green tree in thee and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched and all faces from the south to the north shall be burnedburnt thereinthereby |
| 20:48 |
And all flesh shall see that I theJehovah Lord have kindled it:; it shall not be quenched |
| 20:49 |
Then said I Ah Lord GodJehovah they say of me DothIs he not speaka speaker of parables |
| 21:1 |
And the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 21:2 |
Son of man set thy face toward Jerusalem and drop thy word toward the holysanctuaries places and prophesy against the land of Israel; |
| 21:3 |
Andand say to the land of Israel Thus saith theJehovah: Lord; Behold I am against thee and will draw forth my sword out of hisits sheath and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked |
| 21:4 |
Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked therefore shall my sword go forth out of hisits sheath against all flesh from the south to the north: |
| 21:5 |
Thatand all flesh mayshall know that I theJehovah Lord have drawn forth my sword out of hisits sheath:; it shall not return any more |
| 21:6 |
Sigh therefore thou son of man; with the breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness shalt thou sigh before their eyes |
| 21:7 |
And it shall be when they say unto thee Wherefore sighest thou that thou shalt answersay ForBecause of the tidings; becausefor it cometh:; and every heart shall melt and all hands shall be feeble and every spirit shall faint and all knees shall be weak as water: behold it cometh and it shall be broughtdone to pass saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 21:8 |
AgainAnd the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 21:9 |
Son of man prophesy and say Thus saith theJehovah: Lord; Say A sword a sword it is sharpened and also furbished:; |
| 21:10 |
Itit is sharpened tothat it may make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitterbe as lightning: shouldshall we then make mirth it contemneth the rod of my son asit contemneth every tree |
| 21:11 |
And heit hathis given it to be furbished that it may be handled: thisthe sword it is sharpened andyea it is furbished to give it into the hand of the slayer |
| 21:12 |
Cry and howlwail son of man:; for it shallis be upon my people it shallis be upon all the princes of Israel: terrorsthey byare reasondelivered ofover to the sword shallwith be upon my people:; smite therefore upon thy thigh |
| 21:13 |
BecauseFor itthere is a trial; and what if the sword contemn even the rod itthat contemneth shall be no more saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 21:14 |
Thou therefore son of man prophesy and smite thinethy hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time the sword of the slaindeadly wounded: it is the sword of the great menone that areis slaindeadly wounded which entereth into their privychambers chambers |
| 21:15 |
I have set the pointthreatening of the sword against all their gates that their heart may faintmelt and their ruinsstumblings be multiplied: ah it is made brightas lightning it is wrappedpointed up for theslaughter slaughter |
| 21:16 |
GoGather thee onetogether waygo orto otherthe eitherright onset thethyself rightin handarray orgo onto the left whithersoever thy face is set |
| 21:17 |
I will also smite minemy hands together and I will cause my furywrath to rest: I theJehovah Lord have saidspoken it |
| 21:18 |
The word of theJehovah Lord came unto me again saying |
| 21:19 |
Also thou son of man appoint thee two ways that the sword of the king of Babylon may come:; boththey twain shall come forth out of one land: and choosemark thouout a place choosemark it out at the head of the way to the city |
| 21:20 |
AppointThou shalt appoint a way thatfor the sword mayto come to RabbathRabbah of the Ammoniteschildren of Ammon and to Judah in Jerusalem the defencedfortified |
| 21:21 |
For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way at the head of the two ways to use divination: he madeshook histhe arrows brightto and fro he consulted withthe imagesteraphim he looked in the liver |
| 21:22 |
AtIn his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem to appointset captainsbattering rams to open the mouth in the slaughter to lift up the voice with shouting to appointset battering rams against the gates to cast aup mountmounds and to build aforts fort |
| 21:23 |
And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight towho them that have sworn oaths: unto them; but he willbringeth calliniquity to remembrance the iniquity that they may be taken |
| 21:24 |
Therefore thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered in that your transgressions are discovereduncovered so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because I say that ye are come to remembrance ye shall be taken with the hand |
| 21:25 |
And thou profaneO deadly wounded wicked one the prince of Israel whose day is come whenin the time of the iniquity shallof havethe anend end |
| 21:26 |
Thusthus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Remove the diademmitre and take off the crown:; this shall not be no more the same:; exalt him that which is low and abase him that which is high |
| 21:27 |
I will overturn overturn overturn it: andthis italso shall be no more until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him |
| 21:28 |
And thou son of man prophesy and say Thus saith the Lord GodJehovah concerning the Ammoniteschildren of Ammon and concerning their reproach; evenand say thou TheA sword thea sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished to consumecause becauseit ofto thedevour glittering:that it may be as lightning; |
| 21:29 |
Whileswhile they see vanityfor unto thee whilesfalse visions while they divine alies lie unto thee to bringlay thee upon the necks of themthe wicked that are slaindeadly ofwounded the wicked whose day is come whenin theirthe time of the iniquity shallof havethe anend end |
| 21:30 |
ShallCause I cause it to return into hisits sheath IIn will judge thee in the place where thou wast created in the land of thy nativitybirth will I judge thee |
| 21:31 |
And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee; I will blow againstupon thee inwith the fire of my wrath; and I will deliver thee into the hand of brutish men and skilful to destroy |
| 21:32 |
Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I theJehovah Lord have spoken it |
| 22:1 |
Moreover the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 22:2 |
NowAnd thou son of man wilt thou judge wilt thou judge the bloody city yeathen thoucause shalther shewto herknow all her abominations |
| 22:3 |
ThenAnd thou shalt say thou Thus saith the Lord GodJehovah: TheA city that sheddeth blood in the midst of ither that her time may come and that maketh idols against herself to defile herselfher |
| 22:4 |
Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hastart defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathennations and a mocking to all the countries |
| 22:5 |
Those that beare near and those that beare far from thee shall mock thee whichthou art infamous one and muchfull vexedof tumult |
| 22:6 |
Behold the princes of Israel every one wereaccording in thee to theirhis power have been in thee to shed blood |
| 22:7 |
In thee have they set light by father and mother:; in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger:sojourner; in thee have they vexedwronged the fatherless and the widow |
| 22:8 |
Thou hast despised minemy holy things and hast profaned my sabbaths |
| 22:9 |
InSlanderous theemen arehave menbeen thatin carrythee tales to shed blood:; and in thee they eathave eaten upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commithave committed lewdness |
| 22:10 |
In thee have they discovereduncovered their fathers nakedness:; in thee have they humbled her that was setunclean apartin forher pollutionimpurity |
| 22:11 |
And one hath committed abomination with his neighboursneighbors wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister his fathers daughter |
| 22:12 |
In thee have they taken giftsbribes to shed blood; thou hast taken usuryinterest and increase and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighboursneighbors by extortionoppression and hast forgotten me saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 22:13 |
Behold therefore I have smitten minemy hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee |
| 22:14 |
Can thinethy heart endure or can thinethy hands be strong in the days that I shall deal with thee I theJehovah Lord have spoken it and will do it |
| 22:15 |
And I will scatter thee among the heathennations and disperse thee inthrough the countries; and I will consume thy filthiness out of thee |
| 22:16 |
And thou shalt takebe thineprofaned inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathennations; and thou shalt know that I am the LordJehovah |
| 22:17 |
And the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 22:18 |
Son of man the house of Israel is tobecome medross becomeunto drossme: all theyof them are brass and tin and iron and lead in the midst of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver |
| 22:19 |
Therefore thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Because ye are all become dross therefore behold therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem |
| 22:20 |
As they gather silver and brass and iron and lead and tin into the midst of the furnace to blow the fire upon it to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my furywrath and I will leavelay you there and melt you |
| 22:21 |
Yea I will gather you and blow upon you inwith the fire of my wrath and ye shall be melted in the midst therofthereof |
| 22:22 |
As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I theJehovah Lord have poured out my furywrath upon you |
| 22:23 |
And the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 22:24 |
Son of man say unto her Thou art thea land that is not cleansed nor rained upon in the day of indignation |
| 22:25 |
There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof like a roaring lion ravening the prey;: they have devoured souls; they havetake taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many widows in the midst thereof |
| 22:26 |
Her priests have violateddone violence to my law and have profaned minemy holy things: they have putmade no differencedistinction between the holy and profanethe common neither have they shewedcaused differencemen to discern between the unclean and the clean and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths and I am profaned among them |
| 22:27 |
Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey to shed blood and to destroy souls tothat they may get dishonest gain |
| 22:28 |
And her prophets have daubed for them with untempered mortermortar seeing vanityfalse visions and divining lies unto them saying Thus saith the Lord GodJehovah when theJehovah Lord hath not spoken |
| 22:29 |
The people of the land have used oppression and exercised robbery; andyea they have vexed the poor and needy: yeaand they have oppressed the strangersojourner wrongfully |
| 22:30 |
And I sought for a man among them that should makebuild up the hedgewall and stand in the gap before me for the land that I should not destroy it:; but I found none |
| 22:31 |
Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensedbrought upon their heads saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 23:1 |
The word of theJehovah Lord came again unto me saying |
| 23:3 |
Andand they committedplayed whoredomsthe harlot in Egypt; they committedplayed whoredomsthe harlot in their youth:; there were their breasts pressed and there theywas bruisedhandled the teatsbosom of their virginity |
| 23:4 |
And the names of them were AholahOholah the elder and AholibahOholibah her sister: and they werebecame mine and they bare sons and daughters ThusAnd wereas for their names; Samaria is AholahOholah and Jerusalem AholibahOholibah |
| 23:5 |
And AholahOholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers on the Assyrians her neighboursneighbors |
| 23:6 |
Whichwho were clothed with blue captainsgovernors and rulers all of them desirable young men horsemen riding upon horses |
| 23:7 |
ThusAnd she committedbestowed her whoredoms withupon them with all them that were the chosenchoicest men of Assyria andall withof allthem; and on whomwhomsoever she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself |
| 23:8 |
Neither lefthath she left her whoredoms broughtsince fromthe days of Egypt:; for in her youth they lay with her and they bruisedhandled the breastsbosom of her virginity; and they poured out their whoredom upon her |
| 23:9 |
Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers into the hand of the Assyrians upon whom she doted |
| 23:10 |
These discovereduncovered her nakedness:; they took her sons and her daughters; and her they slew her with the sword: and she became famousa byword among women; for they had executed judgmentjudgments upon her |
| 23:11 |
And when her sister AholibahOholibah saw this sheyet was she more corrupt in her inordinatedoting love than she and in her whoredoms which were more than herthe sisterwhoredoms inof her whoredomssister |
| 23:12 |
She doted upon the Assyrians hergovernors neighbours captains and rulers her neighbors clothed most gorgeously horsemen riding upon horses all of them desirable young men |
| 23:13 |
ThenAnd I saw that she was defiled; that they both took both one way |
| 23:14 |
And that she increased her whoredoms:; for when she saw men pourtrayedportrayed upon the wall the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayedportrayed with vermilion |
| 23:15 |
Girdedgirded with girdles upon their loins exceedingwith inflowing dyedturbans attire upon their heads all of them princes to look toupon after the mannerlikeness of the Babylonians ofin Chaldea the land of their nativity: |
| 23:16 |
And as soon as she saw them with her eyes she doted upon them and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea |
| 23:17 |
And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love and they defiled her with their whoredom and she was polluted with them and her mindsoul was alienated from them |
| 23:18 |
So she discovereduncovered her whoredoms and discovereduncovered her nakedness: then my mindsoul was alienated from her like as my mindsoul was alienated from her sister |
| 23:19 |
Yet she multiplied her whoredoms inremembering calling to remembrance the days of her youth wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt |
| 23:20 |
ForAnd she doted upon their paramours whose flesh is as the flesh of asses and whose issue is like the issue of horses |
| 23:21 |
Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth in bruisingthe handling of thy teatsbosom by the Egyptians for the papsbreasts of thy youth |
| 23:22 |
Therefore O AholibahOholibah thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Behold I will raise up thy lovers against thee from whom thy mindsoul is alienated and I will bring them against thee on every side;: |
| 23:23 |
Thethe Babylonians and all the Chaldeans Pekod and Shoa and Koa and all the Assyrians with them:; all of them desirable young men captainsgovernors and rulers greatall lordsof them princes and renownedmen of renown all of them riding upon horses |
| 23:24 |
And they shall come against thee with weapons chariots wagons and wheelswagons and with ana assemblycompany of peoplepeoples; whichthey shall set themselves against thee with buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will setcommit the judgment beforeunto them and they shall judge thee according to their judgments |
| 23:25 |
And I will set my jealousy against thee and they shall deal furiously with thee: in fury; they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy remnantresidue shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire |
| 23:26 |
They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes and take away thy fair jewels |
| 23:27 |
Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt:; so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them nor remember Egypt any more |
| 23:28 |
For thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Behold I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest into the hand of them from whom thy mindsoul is alienated:; |
| 23:29 |
Andand they shall deal with thee hatefullyin hatred and shall take away all thy labourlabor and shall leave thee naked and bare:; and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovereduncovered both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms |
| 23:30 |
IThese willthings doshall thesebe thingsdone unto thee becausefor that thou hast goneplayed athe whoringharlot after the heathennations and because thou art polluted with their idols |
| 23:31 |
Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thinethy hand |
| 23:32 |
Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Thou shalt drink of thy sisters cup which is deep and large:; thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much |
| 23:34 |
Thou shalt even drink it and suckdrain it out and thou shalt breakgnaw the sherds thereof and pluckshalt offtear thinethy own breasts:; for I have spoken it saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 23:35 |
Therefore thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Because thou hast forgotten me and cast me behind thy back therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms |
| 23:36 |
TheJehovah Lord said moreover unto me;: Son of man wilt thou judge AholahOholah and AholibahOholibah yeathen declare unto them their abominations; |
| 23:37 |
ThatFor they have committed adultery and blood is in their hands; and with their idols have they committed adultery; and they have also caused their sons whom they bare unto me to pass for them through the fire unto them to devourbe themdevoured |
| 23:39 |
For when they had slain their children to their idols then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and lo thus have they done in the midst of minemy house |
| 23:40 |
And furthermore that ye have sent for men tothat come from far unto whom a messenger was sent; and lo they came:; for whom thou didst wash thyself paintedstpaint thythine eyes and deckedstdeck thyself with ornaments |
| 23:41 |
Andand satestsit upon a stately bed andwith a table prepared before it whereupon thou hastdidst set mine incense and mine oil |
| 23:42 |
And athe voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with the men of the common sort were brought Sabeansdrunkards from the wilderness; whichand they put bracelets upon theirthe hands of them twain and beautiful crowns upon their heads |
| 23:43 |
Then said I untoof her that was old in adulteries WillNow will they nowplay committhe whoredomsharlot with her and she with them |
| 23:44 |
YetAnd they went in unto her as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot: so went they in unto AholahOholah and unto AholibahOholibah the lewd women |
| 23:45 |
And the righteous men they shall judge them afterwith the mannerjudgment of adulteresses and afterwith the mannerjudgment of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses and blood is in their hands |
| 23:46 |
For thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: I will bring up a company uponagainst them and will give them to be removedtossed to and spoiledfro and robbed |
| 23:47 |
And the company shall stone them with stones and dispatchdespatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters and burn up their houses with fire |
| 23:49 |
And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you and ye shall bear the sins of your idols:; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GodJehovah |
| 24:1 |
Again in the ninth year in the tenth month in the tenth day of the month the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 24:2 |
Son of man write thee the name of the day even of this sameselfsame day: the king of Babylon setdrew himselfclose againstunto Jerusalem this sameselfsame day |
| 24:3 |
And utter a parable unto the rebellious house and say unto them Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah Set on athe potcaldron set it on and also pour water into it: |
| 24:4 |
Gathergather the pieces thereof into it even every good piece the thigh and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones |
| 24:5 |
Take the choice of the flock and burn also a pile of wood for the bones under itthe andcaldron; make it boil well; andyea let themthe seethebones thereof be boiled in the bonesmidst of it therein |
| 24:6 |
Wherefore thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city to the potcaldron whose scumrust is therein and whose scumrust is not gone out of it bringtake out of it out piece byafter piece; letNo no lot fallis fallen upon it |
| 24:7 |
For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the topbare of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground to cover it with dust; |
| 24:8 |
That it mightmay cause furywrath to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the topbare of a rock that it should not be covered |
| 24:9 |
Therefore thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city I also will even make the pile forgreat fire great |
| 24:10 |
Heap on the wood kindlemake the fire consumehot boil well the flesh and spicemake itthick wellthe broth and let the bones be burned |
| 24:11 |
Then set it empty upon the coals thereof that the brass of it may be hot and the brass thereof may burn and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it that the scumrust of it may be consumed |
| 24:12 |
She hath wearied herself with liestoil; andyet her great scumrust wentgoeth not forth out of her:; her scumrust shallgoeth benot inforth theby fire |
| 24:13 |
In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purgedcleansed thee and thou wast not purgedcleansed thou shalt not be purgedcleansed from thy filthiness any more till I have caused my furywrath toward thee to rest upon thee |
| 24:14 |
I theJehovah Lord have spoken it: it shall come to pass and I will do it;: I will not go back neither will I spare neither will I repent; according to thy ways and according to thy doings shall they judge thee saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 24:15 |
Also the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 24:16 |

| 24:17 |
ForbearSigh tobut crynot aloud make no mourning for the dead; bind thethy tireheadtire of thine head upon thee and put on thy shoes upon thy feet and cover not thy lips and eat not the bread of men |
| 24:18 |
So I spake unto the people in the morning:; and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded |
| 24:20 |
Then I answeredsaid unto them The word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 24:21 |

And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee and lament over thee saying WhatWho city is there like TyrusTyre like theher destroyedthat is brought to silence in the midst of the sea |
| 27:33 |
When thy wares went forth out of the seas thou filledst many peoplepeoples; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise |

By the multitudeabundance of thy merchandisetraffic they have filled the midst of thee with violence and thou hast sinned: therefore have I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God:; and I willhave destroydestroyed thee O covering cherub from the midst of the stones of fire |

And it came to pass in the eleventh year in the first month in the seventh day of the month that the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 30:21 |
Son of man I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and lo it shallhath not bebeen bound up to beapply healedhealing medicines to put a rollerbandage to bind it tothat make it be strong to hold the sword |
| 30:22 |
Therefore thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Behold I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt and will break his arms the strong arm and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand |
| 30:24 |
And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaohsthe arms of Pharaoh and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man |

And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them amongthrough the countries; and they shall know that I am the LordJehovah |
| 31:1 |
And it came to pass in the eleventh year in the third month in the first day of the month that the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 31:2 |
Son of man speaksay unto Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his multitude;: Whom art thou like in thy greatness |
| 31:3 |
Behold the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches and with a shadowingforest shroudlike shade and of an high stature; and hisits top was among the thick boughs |
| 31:4 |
The waters madenourished himit great the deep setmade himit upto ongrow: highthe withrivers herthereof riversran running round about hisits plantsplantation; and it sent herout littleits riverschannels unto all the trees of the field |
| 31:5 |
Therefore hisits heightstature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and hisits boughs were multiplied and hisits branches became long becauseby reason of themany multitude of waters when heit shot them forth |
| 31:6 |
All the fowlsbirds of heaventhe heavens made their nests in hisits boughs; and under hisits branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young; and under hisits shadow dwelt all great nations |
| 31:7 |
Thus was heit fair in hisits greatness in the length of hisits branches:; for hisits root was by greatmany waters |
| 31:8 |
The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him:it; the fir trees were not like hisits boughs and the chestnutplane trees were not likeas hisits branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God was like unto himit in hisits beauty |
| 31:9 |
I have made himit fair by the multitude of hisits branches: so that all the trees of Eden that were in the garden of God envied himit |
| 31:10 |
Therefore thus saithsaid the Lord God;Jehovah: Because thou hastart liftedexalted up thyself in heightstature and he hath shotset up his top among the thick boughs and his heart is lifted up in his height; |
| 31:11 |
I havewill thereforeeven delivereddeliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathennations; he shall surely deal with him:; I have driven him out for his wickedness |
| 31:12 |
And strangers the terrible of the nations have cut him off and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen and his boughs are broken by all the riverswatercourses of the land; and all the peoplepeoples of the earth are gone down from his shadow and have left him |
| 31:13 |
Upon his ruin shall all the fowlsbirds of the heavenheavens remainshall dwell and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:; |
| 31:14 |
Toto the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves forin their heightstature neither shootset up their top among the thick boughs neithernor that their treesmighty ones stand up in their height even all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death to the nether parts of the earth in the midst of the children of men with them that go down to the pit |
| 31:15 |
Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: In the day when he went down to theSheol grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him and I restrained the floodsrivers thereof; and the great waters were stayed:; and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him and all the trees of the field fainted for him |
| 31:16 |
I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall when I cast him down to hellSheol with them that descend into the pit:; and all the trees of Eden the choice and best of Lebanon all that drink water shallwere be comforted in the nether parts of the earth |
| 31:17 |
They also went down into hellSheol with him unto them that beare slain withby the sword; andyea they that were his arm that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathennations |
| 31:18 |
To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that beare slain by the sword This is Pharaoh and all his multitude saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 32:1 |
And it came to pass in the twelfth year in the twelfth month in the first day of the month that the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 32:2 |
Son of man take up a lamentation forover Pharaoh king of Egypt and say unto him Thou artwast likelikened unto a young lion of the nations: andyet art thou art as a whalemonster in the seas:; and thou camestdidst break forth with thy rivers and troubledst the waters with thy feet and fouledst their rivers |
| 32:3 |
Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: I will therefore spread out my net overupon thee with a company of many peoplepeoples; and they shall bring thee up in my net |
| 32:4 |
ThenAnd I will I leave thee upon the land I will cast thee forth upon the open field and will cause all the fowlsbirds of the heavenheavens to remainsettle upon thee and I will fillsatisfy the beasts of the whole earth with thee |
| 32:6 |
I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest even to the mountains; and the riverswatercourses shall be full of thee |
| 32:7 |
And when I shall putextinguish thee out I will cover the heavenheavens and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud and the moon shall not give herits light |
| 32:8 |
All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee and set darkness upon thy land saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 32:9 |
I will also vex the hearts of many peoplepeoples when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations into the countries which thou hast not known |
| 32:10 |
Yea I will make many peoplepeoples amazed at thee and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment every man for his own life in the day of thy fall |
| 32:11 |
For thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee |
| 32:12 |
By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall; the terrible of the nations allare ofthey themall: and they shall spoilbring to nought the pomppride of Egypt and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed |
| 32:13 |
I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside themany great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them |
| 32:14 |
Then will I make their waters deepclear and cause their rivers to run like oil saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 32:15 |
When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate and thewaste countrya shallland be destitute of that whereof it was full when I shall smite all them that dwell therein then shall they know that I am theJehovah Lord |
| 32:16 |
This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament; her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her:therewith; theyover shall lament for her even for Egypt and forover all her multitude shall they lament therewith saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 32:17 |
It came to pass also in the twelfth year in the fifteenth day of the month that the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 32:20 |
They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword:; draw her away and all her multitudes |
| 32:21 |
The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hellSheol with them that help him: they are gone down they lie still even the uncircumcised slain by the sword |
| 32:22 |
Asshur is there and all her company:; hisher graves are round about him:her; all of them slain fallen by the sword:; |
| 32:23 |
Whosewhose graves are set in the sidesuttermost parts of the pit and her company is round about her grave:; all of them slain fallen by the sword whichwho caused terror in the land of the living |
| 32:24 |
There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave; all of them slain fallen by the sword whichwho are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth whichwho caused their terror in the land of the living; yetand have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit |
| 32:25 |
They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude:; her graves are round about him:her; all of them uncircumcised slain by the sword:; thoughfor their terror was caused in the land of the living yetand they have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that beare slain |
| 32:26 |
There is Meshech Tubal and all hertheir multitude:; hertheir graves are round about him:them; all of them uncircumcised slain by the sword; thoughfor they caused their terror in the land of the living |
| 32:27 |
And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised whichthat are gone down to hellSheol with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads butand their iniquities shallare be upon their bones; thoughfor they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living |
| 32:28 |
YeaBut thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised and shalt lie with them that are slain withby the sword |
| 32:29 |
There is Edom her kings and all her princes whichwho within their might are laid bywith them that wereare slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised and with them that go down to the pit |
| 32:30 |
There beare the princes of the north all of them and all the ZidoniansSidonians whichwho are gone down with the slain; within theirthe terror which they arecaused ashamedby of their might they are put to shame; and they lie uncircumcised with them that beare slain by the sword and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit |
| 32:31 |
Pharaoh shall see them and shall be comforted over all his multitude even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 32:32 |
For I have causedput myhis terror in the land of the living:; and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain withby the sword even Pharaoh and all his multitude saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 33:1 |
AgainAnd the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 33:2 |
Son of man speak to the children of thy people and say unto them When I bring the sword upon a land ifand the people of the land take a man offrom theiramong coaststhem and set him for their watchman:; |
| 33:3 |
Ifif when he seeth the sword come upon the land he blow the trumpet and warn the people; |
| 33:4 |
Thenthen whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet and taketh not warning; if the sword come and take him away his blood shall be upon his own head |
| 33:5 |
He heard the sound of the trumpet and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him; Butwhereas if he thathad takethtaken warning shallhe deliverwould have delivered his soul |
| 33:6 |
But if the watchman see the sword come and blow not the trumpet and the people be not warned; ifand the sword come and take any person from among them; he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchmans hand |
| 33:7 |
So thou O son of man I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth and warngive them warning from me |
| 33:8 |
When I say unto the wicked O wicked man thou shalt surely die; ifand thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thinethy hand |
| 33:9 |
Nevertheless if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; ifand he doturn not turn from his way; he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul |
| 33:10 |
ThereforeAnd O thou son of man speaksay unto the house of Israel;: Thus ye speak saying IfOur our transgressions and our sins beare upon us and we pine away in them; how shouldthen can we thenlive live |
| 33:11 |
Say unto them As I live saith the Lord GodJehovah I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die O house of Israel |
| 33:12 |
ThereforeAnd thou son of man say unto the children of thy people The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression:; and as for the wickedness of the wicked he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall thehe that is righteous be able to live forthereby his righteousness in the day that he sinneth |
| 33:13 |
When I shall say to the righteous that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness and commit iniquity allnone of his righteousnessesrighteous deeds shall not be remembered; but forin his iniquity that he hath committed hetherein shall he die for it |
| 33:15 |
Ifif the wicked restore the pledge give again that which he had robbedtaken by robbery walk in the statutes of life without committing no iniquity; he shall surely live he shall not die |
| 33:16 |
None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentionedremembered untoagainst him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live |
| 33:18 |
When the righteous turneth from his righteousness and committeth iniquity he shall even die therebytherein |
| 33:19 |
ButAnd ifwhen the wicked turnturneth from his wickedness and dodoeth that which is lawful and right he shall live thereby |
| 33:20 |
Yet ye say The way of the Lord is not equal O ye house of Israel I will judge you every one after his ways |
| 33:22 |
Now the hand of theJehovah Lordhad wasbeen upon me in the evening aforebefore he that was escaped came; and he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened and I was no more dumb |
| 33:23 |
ThenAnd the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 33:24 |
Son of man they that inhabit those wasteswaste ofplaces in the land of Israel speak saying Abraham was one and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance |
| 33:25 |
Wherefore say unto them Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Ye eat with the blood and lift up your eyes towardunto your idols and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land |
| 33:26 |
Ye stand upon your sword ye work abomination and ye defile every one his neighboursneighbors wife: and shall ye possess the land |
| 33:27 |
SayThus shalt thou thussay unto them Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: As I live surely they that are in the wasteswaste places shall fall by the sword; and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured; and they that beare in the fortsstrongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence |
| 33:28 |
ForAnd I will laymake the land mosta desolatedesolation and an astonishment; and the pomppride of her strengthpower shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate so that none shall pass through |
| 33:29 |
Then shall they know that I am theJehovah Lord when I have laidmade the land mosta desolatedesolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which they have committed |
| 33:30 |
AlsoAnd thouas for thee son of man the children of thy people stilltalk areof talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses and speak one to another every one to his brother saying Come I pray you and hear what is the word that cometh forth from theJehovah Lord |
| 33:31 |
And they come unto thee as the people cometh and they sit before thee as my people and they hear thy words but theydo willthem not; do them: for with their mouth they shewshow much love but their heart goeth after their covetousnessgain |
| 33:32 |
And lo thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument:; for they hear thy words but they do them not |
| 33:33 |
And when this cometh to pass lobehold it willcometh come then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them |
| 34:1 |
And the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 34:2 |
Son of man prophesy against the shepherds of Israel prophesy and say unto them Thuseven saithto the Lordshepherds GodThus untosaith the shepherds;Lord Jehovah: Woe beunto to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves should not the shepherds feed the flockssheep |
| 34:3 |
Ye eat the fat and ye clothe you with the wool ye kill themthe thatfatlings; are fed: but ye feed not the flocksheep |
| 34:4 |
The diseased have ye not strengthened neither have ye healed that which was sick neither have ye bound up that which was broken neither have ye brought againback that which was driven away neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with crueltyrigor have ye ruled over them |
| 34:5 |
And they were scattered because there iswas no shepherd:; and they became meatfood to all the beasts of the field whenand they were scattered |
| 34:6 |
My sheep wandered through all the mountains and upon every high hill: yea my flocksheep waswere scattered upon all the face of the earth; and there was none that did search or seek after them |
| 34:7 |
Therefore ye shepherds hear the word of theJehovah: Lord; |
| 34:8 |
As I live saith the Lord GodJehovah surely becauseforasmuch as my flocksheep became a prey and my flocksheep became meatfood to everyall beastthe beasts of the field because there was no shepherd neither did my shepherds search for my flocksheep but the shepherds fed themselves and fed not my flocksheep; |
| 34:9 |
Thereforetherefore O ye shepherds hear the word of theJehovah: Lord; |
| 34:10 |
Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah Behold I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flocksheep at their hand and cause them to cease from feeding the flocksheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; forand I will deliver my flocksheep from their mouth that they may not be meatfood for them |
| 34:11 |
For thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Behold I myself even I will both search for my sheep and will seek them out |
| 34:12 |
As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; abroad so will I seek out my sheep; and I will deliver them out of all places wherewhither they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day |
| 34:13 |
And I will bring them out from the peoplepeoples and gather them from the countries and will bring them tointo their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the riverswatercourses and in all the inhabited places of the country |
| 34:14 |
I will feed them inwith a good pasture; and upon the high mountains of the height of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold; and inon a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel |
| 34:15 |
I myself will feedbe the shepherd of my flocksheep and I will cause them to lie down saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 34:16 |
I will seek that which was lost and will bring againback that which was driven away and will bind up that which was broken and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong I will destroy; I will feed them within judgmentjustice |
| 34:17 |
And as for you O my flock thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Behold I judge between cattlesheep and cattlesheep between the rams and the he goats |
| 34:18 |
Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eatenfed upupon the good pasture but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasturespasture and to have drunk of the deepclear waters but ye must foul the residue with your feet |
| 34:19 |
And as for my flocksheep they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet |
| 34:20 |
Therefore thus saith the Lord GodJehovah unto them;: Behold I even I will judge between the fat cattlesheep and between the lean cattlesheep |
| 34:21 |
Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder and pushedpush all the diseased with your horns till ye have scattered them abroad; |
| 34:22 |
Thereforetherefore will I save my flock and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattlesheep and cattlesheep |
| 34:24 |
And I theJehovah Lord will be their God and my servant David a prince among them; I theJehovah Lord have spoken it |
| 34:25 |
And I will make with them a covenant of peace and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land:; and they shall dwell safelysecurely 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 cause the shower to come down in hisits season; there shall be showers of blessing |
| 34:27 |
And the tree of the field shall yield herits fruit and the earth shall yield herits increase and they shall be safesecure in their land; and they shall know that I am theJehovah Lord when I have broken the bandsbars of their yoke and have delivered them out of the hand of those that servedmade themselvesbondmen of them |
| 34:28 |
And they shall no more be a prey to the heathennations neither shall the beastbeasts of the landearth devour them; but they shall dwell safelysecurely and none shall make them afraid |
| 34:29 |
And I will raise up forunto them a plantplantation offor renown and they shall be no more consumed with hungerfamine in the land neither bear the shame of the heathennations any more |
| 34:30 |
ThusAnd they shall they know that I theJehovah Lord their God am with them and that they even the house of Israel are my people saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 34:31 |
And ye my flocksheep the flocksheep of my pasture are men and I am your God saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 35:1 |
Moreover the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 35:3 |
Andand say unto it Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Behold O mount Seir I am against thee O mount Seir and I will stretch out minemy hand against thee and I will make thee mosta desolatedesolation and an astonishment |
| 35:4 |
I will lay thy cities waste and thou shalt be desolate; and thou shalt know that I am theJehovah Lord |
| 35:5 |
Because thou hast had a perpetual hatredenmity and hast shedgiven theover blood of the children of Israel byto the forcepower of the sword in the time of their calamity in the time thatof theirthe iniquity hadof anthe end:; |
| 35:6 |
Thereforetherefore as I live saith the Lord GodJehovah I will prepare thee unto blood and blood shall pursue thee: sithsince thou hast not hated blood eventherefore blood shall pursue thee |
| 35:7 |
Thus will I make mount Seir mostan desolateastonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from it him that passeth outthrough and him that returneth |
| 35:8 |
And I will fill hisits mountains with hisits slain men: in thy hills and in thy valleys and in all thy riverswatercourses shall they fall that are slain with the sword |
| 35:9 |
I will make thee a perpetual desolationsdesolation and thy cities shall not return:be inhabited; and ye shall know that I am the LordJehovah |
| 35:10 |
Because thou hast said These two nations and these two countries shall be mine and we will possess it; whereas theJehovah Lord was there: |
| 35:11 |
Thereforetherefore as I live saith the Lord GodJehovah I will even do according to thine anger and according to thine envy which thou hast usedshowed out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them when I haveshall judgedjudge thee |
| 35:12 |
And thou shalt know that I amJehovah the Lord and that I have heard all thy blasphemiesrevilings which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel saying They are laid desolate they are given us to consumedevour |
| 35:13 |
ThusAnd with your mouth ye have boastedmagnified yourselves against me with your mouth and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard themit |
| 35:14 |
Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: When the whole earth rejoiceth I will make thee desolate |
| 35:15 |
As thou didst rejoice atover the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate O mount Seir and all IdumeaEdom even all of it:; and they shall know that I am the LordJehovah |
| 36:1 |
AlsoAnd thou son of man prophesy unto the mountains of Israel and say Ye mountains of Israel hear the word of theJehovah Lord: |
| 36:2 |
Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Because the enemy hath said against you Aha evenand theThe ancient high places are ours in possession:; |
| 36:3 |
Thereforetherefore prophesy and say Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Because even because they have made you desolate and swallowed you up on every side that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathennations and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers and arethe anevil infamyreport of the people:; |
| 36:4 |
Thereforetherefore ye mountains of Israel hear the word of the Lord God;Jehovah: Thus saith the Lord GodJehovah to the mountains and to the hills to the riverswatercourses and to the valleys to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken which becameare become a prey and derision to the residue of the heathennations that are round about; |
| 36:5 |
Thereforetherefore thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathennations and against all IdumeaEdom whichthat have appointed my land intounto theirthemselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart with despitefuldespite mindsof soul to cast it out for a prey |
| 36:6 |
ProphesyTherefore thereforeprophesy concerning the land of Israel and say unto the mountains and to the hills to the riverswatercourses and to the valleys Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Behold I have spoken in my jealousy and in my furywrath because ye have borne the shame of the heathennations: |
| 36:7 |
Thereforetherefore thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: I have liftedsworn upsaying mine hand Surely the heathennations that are round about you they shall bear their shame |
| 36:8 |
But ye O mountains of Israel ye shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come |
| 36:9 |
For behold I am for you and I will turn unto you and ye shall be tilled and sown:; |
| 36:10 |
Andand I will multiply men upon you all the house of Israel even all of it:; and the cities shall be inhabited and the wasteswaste places shall be builded:; |
| 36:11 |
Andand I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bringbe fruit:fruitful; and I will settlecause you to be inhabited after your oldformer estatesestate and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am theJehovah Lord |
| 36:12 |
Yea I will cause men to walk upon you even my people Israel; and they shall possess thee and thou shalt be their inheritance and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of menchildren |
| 36:13 |
Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Because they say unto you Thou land devourestart upa devourer of men and hast bereavedbeen a bereaver of thy nations:nation; |
| 36:14 |
Thereforetherefore thou shalt devour men no more neither bereave thy nationsnation any more saith the Lord GodJehovah; |
| 36:15 |
Neitherneither will I causelet menthee to hear inany theemore the shame of the heathennations any more neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the peoplepeoples any more neither shalt thou cause thy nationsnation to fallstumble any more saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 36:16 |
Moreover the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 36:17 |
Son of man when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me was as the uncleanness of a removedwoman womanin her impurity |
| 36:18 |
Wherefore I poured out my furywrath upon them for the blood thatwhich they had shedpoured out upon the land and forbecause theirthey idolshad wherewithdefiled theyit hadwith pollutedtheir it:idols; |
| 36:19 |
Andand I scattered them among the heathennations and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them |
| 36:20 |
And when they enteredcame unto the heathennations whither they went they profaned my holy name; whenin theythat men said toof them These are the people of theJehovah Lord and are gone forth out of his land |
| 36:21 |
But I had pityregard for minemy holy name which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathennations whither they went |
| 36:22 |
Therefore say unto the house of Israel thusThus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: I do not this for your sakessake O house of Israel but for minemy holy namesname sake which ye have profaned among the heathennations whither ye went |
| 36:23 |
And I will sanctify my great name which washath been profaned among the heathennations which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathennations shall know that I am theJehovah Lord saith the Lord GodJehovah when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes |
| 36:24 |
For I will take you from among the heathennations and gather you out of all the countries and will bring you into your own land |
| 36:25 |
ThenAnd I will I sprinkle clean water upon you and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness and from all your idols will I cleanse you |
| 36:26 |
A new heart also will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you:; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and I will give you ana heart of flesh |
| 36:27 |
And I will put my spiritSpirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes and ye shall keep mymine judgmentsordinances and do them |
| 36:29 |
And I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corngrain and will increasemultiply it and lay no famine upon you |
| 36:30 |
And I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field that ye shallmay receive no more the reproach of famine among the heathennations |
| 36:31 |
Then shall ye remember your own evil ways and your doings that were not good; and ye shall lotheloathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations |
| 36:32 |
Not for your sakessake do I this saith the Lord GodJehovah be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways O house of Israel |
| 36:33 |
Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: In the day that I shallcleanse have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause youthe cities to dwellbe ininhabited the cities and the wasteswaste places shall be builded |
| 36:34 |
And the land that was desolate land shall be tilled whereas it laywas desolatea desolation in the sight of all that passed by |
| 36:35 |
And they shall say This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are becomefortified fenced and areinhabited inhabited |
| 36:36 |
Then the heathennations that are left round about you shall know that I theJehovah Lordhave buildbuilded the ruined places and plantplanted that thatwhich was desolate: I theJehovah Lord have spoken it and I will do it |
| 36:37 |
Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: IFor willthis yetmoreover forwill thisI be enquiredinquired of by the house of Israel to do it for them;: I will increase them with men like a flock |
| 36:38 |
As the holy flock for sacrifice as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemnappointed feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men:; and they shall know that I am the LordJehovah |
| 37:1 |
The hand of theJehovah Lord was upon me and carriedhe brought me out in the spiritSpirit of theJehovah Lord and set me down in the midst of the valley; whichand it was full of bones |
| 37:2 |
And he caused me to pass by them round about: and behold there were very many in the open valley; and lo they were very dry |
| 37:3 |
And he said unto me Son of man can these bones live And I answered O Lord GodJehovah thou knowest |
| 37:4 |
Again he said unto me Prophesy uponover these bones and say unto them O ye dry bones hear the word of theJehovah Lord |
| 37:5 |
Thus saith the Lord GodJehovah unto these bones;: Behold I will cause breath to enter into you and ye shall live: |
| 37:6 |
And I will lay sinews upon you and will bring up flesh upon you and cover you with skin and put breath in you and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LordJehovah |
| 37:7 |
So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied there was a noise and behold aan shakingearthquake; and the bones came together bone to hisits bone |
| 37:8 |
And when I beheld and lo thethere were sinews upon them and the flesh came up upon them and the skin covered them above:; but there was no breath in them |
| 37:9 |
Then said he unto me Prophesy unto the wind prophesy son of man and say to the wind Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Come from the four winds O breath and breathe upon these slain that they may live |
| 37:11 |
Then he said unto me Son of man these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold they say Our bones are dried up and our hope is lost:; we are clean cut off for our parts |
| 37:12 |
Therefore prophesy and say unto them Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Behold O my people I will open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves O my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel |
| 37:13 |
And ye shall know that I am theJehovah Lord when I have opened your graves Oand mycaused peopleyou andto broughtcome you up out of your graves O my people |
| 37:14 |
And shallI will put my spiritSpirit in you and ye shall live and I shallwill place you in your own land: thenand ye shall ye know that I theJehovah Lord have spoken it and performed it saith the LordJehovah |
| 37:15 |
The word of theJehovah Lord came again unto me saying |
| 37:16 |
MoreoverAnd thou son of man take thee one stick and write upon it For Judah and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick and write upon it For Joseph the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions: |

And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee saying Wilt thou not shewshow us what thou meanest by these |
| 37:19 |
Saysay unto them Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: Behold I will take the stick of Joseph which is in the hand of Ephraim and the tribes of Israel his fellowscompanions; and I will put them with himit even with the stick of Judah and make them one stick and they shall be one in minemy hand |

Neitherneither will I hide my face any more from them:; for I have poured out my spiritSpirit upon the house of Israel saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 40:1 |
In the five and twentieth year of our captivity in the beginning of the year in the tenth day of the month in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten in the selfsame day the hand of theJehovah Lord was upon me and he brought me thither |
| 40:2 |
In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel and set me down upon a very high mountain bywhereon which was as it were the frame of a city on the south |
| 40:3 |
And he brought me thither; and behold there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of brass with a line of flax in his hand and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate |
| 40:4 |
And the man said unto me Son of man behold with thine eyes and hear with thine ears and set thinethy heart upon all that I shall shewshow thee; for to the intent that I mightmay shewshow them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel |

| 40:10 |
And the littlelodges chambers of the gate eastward were three on this side and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side |

HeAnd he measured then the gate from the roof of the one littlelodge chamber to the roof of another: the other a breadth wasof five and twenty cubits; door against door |
| 40:14 |
He made also posts of threescore cubits; evenand unto the postcourt ofreached unto the courtposts round about the gate |

| 40:18 |
And the pavement was by the side of the gates overanswerable againstunto the length of the gates waseven the lower pavement |
| 40:19 |
Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without ana hundred cubits eastwardboth on the east and northwardon the north |

And aton the one side without as one goeth up to the entry of the gate toward the north gate were two tables; and on the other side which wasbelonged atto the porch of the gate were two tables |

And withinthe were hooks ana handhandbreadth broadlong were fastened within round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offeringoblation |
| 40:44 |
And without the inner gate were the chambers offor the singers in the inner court which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south:; one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north |
| 40:45 |
And he said unto me This chamber whose prospect is toward the south is for the priests the keepers of the charge of the house; |
| 40:46 |
Andand the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok who from among the sons of Levi which come near to theJehovah Lord to minister unto him |
| 40:47 |
SoAnd he measured the court ana hundred cubits long and ana hundred cubits broad foursquare; and the altar that was before the house |
| 40:48 |
AndThen he brought me to the porch of the house and measured each post of the porch five cubits on this side and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side and three cubits on that side |
| 40:49 |
The length of the porch was twenty cubits and the breadth eleven cubits; andeven he brought me by the steps whereby they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts one on this side and another on that side |
| 41:1 |
AfterwardAnd he brought me to the temple and measured the posts six cubits broad on the one side and six cubits broad on the other side which was the breadth of the tabernacle |
| 41:2 |
And the breadth of the doorentrance was ten cubits; and the sides of the doorentrance were five cubits on the one side and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof forty cubits: and the breadth twenty cubits |
| 41:3 |
Then went he inward and measured theeach post of the doorentrance two cubits; and the doorentrance six cubits; and the breadth of the doorentrance seven cubits |
| 41:4 |
SoAnd he measured the length thereof twenty cubits; and the breadth twenty cubits before the temple: and he said unto me This is the most holy place |
| 41:5 |
AfterThen he measured the wall of the house six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber four cubits round about the house on every side |
| 41:6 |
And the side chambers were in three stories one over another and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which wasbelonged ofto the house for the side chambers round about that they might have hold buttherein theyand had not have hold in the wall of the house |
| 41:7 |
And therethe wasside anchambers enlargingwere andbroader aas windingthey aboutencompassed stillthe upwardhouse tohigher theand sidehigher; chambers: for the windingencompassing about of the house went stillhigher upwardand higher round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house wascontinued still upward; and so increasedone went up from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midstmiddle chamber |
| 41:8 |
I saw also that the heighthouse ofhad thea houseraised basement round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits |
| 41:9 |
The thickness of the wall which was for the side chamberchambers withouton the outside was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that werebelonged withinto the house |
| 41:10 |
And between the chambers was thea widenessbreadth of twenty cubits round about the house on every side |
| 41:12 |
NowAnd the building that was before the separate place at the endside toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about and the length thereof ninety cubits |
| 41:13 |
So he measured the house ana hundred cubits long; and the separate place and the building with the walls thereof ana hundred cubits long; |
| 41:14 |
Alsoalso the breadth of the face of the house and of the separate place toward the east ana hundred cubits |
| 41:15 |
And he measured the length of the building overbefore against the separate place which was behindat itthe back thereof and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side ana hundred cubits; withand the inner temple and the porches of the court; |
| 41:16 |
Thethe doorthresholds posts and the narrowclosed windows and the galleries round about on their three stories over against the doorthreshold cieledceiled with wood round about and from the ground up to the windows andnow the windows were covered; |
| 41:17 |
Toto thatthe space above the door even unto the inner house and without and by all the wall round about within and without by measure |
| 41:18 |
And it was made with cherubimscherubim and palm trees; soand that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces; |
| 41:19 |
Soso that there was the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: itThus was it made through all the house round about: |
| 41:20 |
Fromfrom the ground unto above the door were cherubimscherubim and palm trees made; andthus onwas the wall of the temple |
| 41:21 |
TheAs postsfor of the temple the door posts were squared; and as for the face of the sanctuary; the appearance ofthereof thewas one as the appearance of the othertemple |
| 41:22 |
The altar was of wood was three cubits high and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof and the length thereof and the walls thereof were of wood: and he said unto me This is the table that is before theJehovah Lord |
| 41:24 |
And the doors had two leaves apiece two turning leaves;: two leaves for the one door and two leaves for the other door |
| 41:25 |
And there were made on them on the doors of the temple cherubimscherubim and palm trees like as were made upon the walls; and there werewas thicka planksthreshold of wood upon the face of the porch without |
| 41:26 |
And there were narrowclosed windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side on the sides of the porch: andthus uponwere the side chambers of the house and thickthe planksthresholds |
| 42:1 |
Then he brought me forth into the utterouter court the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place and which was beforeover against the building toward the north |
| 42:2 |
Before the length of ana hundred cubits was the north door and the breadth was fifty cubits |
| 42:3 |
Over against the twenty cubits which werebelonged forto the inner court and over against the pavement which wasbelonged forto the utterouter court was gallery against gallery in threethe storiesthird story |
| 42:4 |
And before the chambers was a walk toof ten cubits breadth inward a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north |
| 42:5 |
Now the upper chambers were shorter:; for the galleries weretook higheraway thanfrom these more than from the lower and than the middlemost ofin the building |
| 42:6 |
For they were in three stories butand they had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the buildinguppermost was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground |
| 42:7 |
And the wall that was without overby againstthe side of the chambers toward the utterouter court onbefore the forepart of the chambers the length thereof was fifty cubits |
| 42:8 |
For the length of the chambers that were in the utterouter court was fifty cubits: and lo before the temple were ana hundred cubits |
| 42:9 |
And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side as one goeth into them from the utterouter court |
| 42:10 |
TheIn chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east overbefore against the separate place and overbefore against the building there were chambers |
| 42:11 |
And the way before them was like the appearance of the way of the chambers which were toward the north; asaccording longto astheir theylength andso aswas broadtheir as theybreadth: and all their goingsegresses out were both according to their fashions and according to their doors |
| 42:12 |
And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door inat the head of the way even the way directly before the wall toward the east as one entereth into them |
| 42:13 |
Then said he unto me The north chambers and the south chambers which are before the separate place they beare the holy chambers where the priests that approachare near unto theJehovah Lord shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things and the meatmeal offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering; for the place is holy |
| 42:14 |
When the priests enter thereinin then shall they not go out of the holy place into the utterouter court but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy;: and they shall put on other garments and shall approach to thosethat things which arepertaineth forto the people |
| 42:15 |
Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house he brought me forth towardby the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east and measured it round about |
| 42:16 |
He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about |
| 42:17 |
He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about |
| 42:18 |
He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed |
| 42:20 |
He measured it byon the four sides: it had a wall round about the length five hundred reedsand longthe andbreadth five hundred broad to make a separation between thethat sanctuarywhich was holy and thethat profanewhich placewas common |
| 43:1 |
Afterward he brought me to the gate even the gate that looketh toward the east: |
| 43:2 |
And behold the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like athe noisesound of many waters:; and the earth shined with his glory |
| 43:3 |
And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city:; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face |
| 43:4 |
And the glory of theJehovah Lord came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east |
| 43:5 |
SoAnd the spiritSpirit took me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold the glory of theJehovah Lord filled the house |
| 43:6 |
And I heard himone speaking unto me out of the house; and thea man stood by me |
| 43:7 |
And he said unto 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 children of Israel for ever andAnd my holy name shall the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name neither they nor their kings by their whoredom norand by the carcasesdead bodies of their kings in their high places; |
| 43:8 |
Inin their setting of their threshold by my thresholdsthreshold and their door post bybeside my postsdoor post and there was but the wall between me and them; and they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations thatwhich they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger |
| 43:9 |
Now let them put away their whoredom and the carcasesdead bodies of their kings far from me; and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever |
| 43:10 |
Thou son of man shewshow the house to the house of Israel that they may be ashamed of their iniquities:; and let them measure the pattern |
| 43:11 |
And if they be ashamed of all that they have done shewmake known unto them the form of the house and the fashion thereof and the goingsegresses out thereof and the comingsentrances in thereof and all the forms thereof and all the ordinances thereof and all the forms thereof and all the laws thereof:; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form thereof and all the ordinances thereof and do them |
| 43:12 |
This is the law of the house;: Uponupon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy Behold this is the law of the house |
| 43:13 |
And these are the measures of the altar afterby the cubits: Thethe cubit is a cubit and ana handhandbreadth: breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit and the breadth a cubit and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a span:; and this shall be the higherbase place of the altar |
| 43:14 |
And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower settleledge shall be two cubits and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settleledge even to the greater settleledge shall be four cubits and the breadth onea cubit |
| 43:15 |
SoAnd the upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns |
| 43:16 |
And the altar hearth shall be twelve cubits long by twelve broad square in the four squaressides thereof |
| 43:17 |
And the settleledge shall be fourteen cubits long andby fourteen broad in the four squaressides thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit round about; and histhe stairssteps thereof shall look toward the east |
| 43:18 |
And he said unto me Son of man thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it to offer burnt offerings thereon and to sprinkle blood thereon |
| 43:19 |
AndThou thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that beare of the seed of Zadok whichwho approachare near unto me to minister unto me saith the Lord GodJehovah a young bullock for a sin offering |
| 43:20 |
And thou shalt take of the blood thereof and put it on the four horns of it and on the four corners of the settleledge and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse it and purgemake atonement for it |
| 43:21 |
Thou shalt also take the bullock also of the sin offering and heit shall burnbe itburnt in the appointed place of the house without the sanctuary |
| 43:22 |
And on the second day thou shalt offer a kidhe ofgoat the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar as they did cleanse it with the bullock |
| 43:24 |
And thou shalt offerbring them near before theJehovah Lord and the priests shall cast salt upon them and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto theJehovah Lord |
| 43:26 |
Seven days shall they purgemake atonement for the altar and purify it; andso shall they shall consecrate themselvesit |
| 43:27 |
And when thesethey dayshave areaccomplished expiredthe days it shall be that upon the eighth day and so forward the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar and your peace offerings; and I will accept you saith the Lord GodJehovah |
| 44:1 |
Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut |
| 44:2 |
ThenAnd Jehovah said the Lord unto me; This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened andneither noshall any man shall enter in by it; becausefor theJehovah Lord the God of Israel hath entered in by it; therefore it shall be shut |
| 44:3 |
ItAs is for the prince; the prince he shall sit intherein itas prince to eat bread before the LordJehovah; he shall enter by the way of the porch of thatthe gate and shall go out by the way of the same |
| 44:4 |
Then he brought he me by the way of the north gate before the house:; and I looked and behold the glory of theJehovah Lord filled the house of the LordJehovah: and I fell upon my face |
| 44:5 |
And theJehovah Lord said unto me Son of man mark well and behold with thine eyes and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of theJehovah Lord and all the laws thereof; and mark well the enteringentrance in of the house with every goingegress forth of the sanctuary |
| 44:6 |
And thou shalt say to the rebellious even to the house of Israel Thus saith the Lord God;Jehovah: O ye house of Israel let it suffice you of all your abominations |
| 44:7 |
Inin that ye have brought intoin myforeigners sanctuary strangers uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh to be in my sanctuary to polluteprofane it even my house when ye offer my bread the fat and the blood and they have broken my covenant becauseto ofadd unto all your abominations |
