Ezekiel 1

1. Now it came <01961> to pass in the thirtieth <07970> year

<08141>, in the fourth <07243> [month], in the fifth <02568>

[day] of the month <02320>, as I [was] among <08432> the

captives <01473> by the river <05104> of Chebar <03529>, [that]

the heavens <08064> were opened <06605>, and I saw <07200>

visions <04759> of God <0430>.

2 In the fifth <02568> [day] of the month <02320>, which

<01958> [was] the fifth <02549> year <08141> of king <04428>

Jehoiachin's <03112> captivity <01546>,

3 The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> expressly

unto Ezekiel <03168> the priest <03548>, the son <01121> of Buzi

<0941>, in the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <03779> by the river

<05104> Chebar <03529>; and the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068>

was there <08033> upon him.

4. And I looked <07200>, and, behold <02009>, a whirlwind came

<0935> out of the north <06828>, a great <01419> cloud <06051>,

and a fire <0784> infolding <03947> itself, and a brightness

<05051> [was] about <05439> it, and out of the midst <08432>

thereof as the colour <05869> of amber <02830>, out of the midst

<08432> of the fire <0784>.

5 Also out of the midst <08432> thereof [came] the likeness

<01823> of four <0702> living <02416> creatures <02416>. And

this <02088> [was] their appearance <04758>; they had the

likeness <01823> of a man <0120>.

6 And every one <0259> had four <0702> faces <06440>, and every

one <0259> had four <0702> wings <03671>.

7 And their feet <07272> [were] straight <03474> feet <07272>;

and the sole <03709> of their feet <07272> [was] like the sole

<03709> of a calf's <05695> foot <07272>: and they sparkled

<05340> like the colour <05869> of burnished <07044> brass

<05178>.

8 And [they had] the hands <03027> of a man <0120> under

<08478> their wings <03671> on <05921> their four <0702> sides

<07253>; and they four <0702> had their faces <06440> and their

wings <03671>.

9 Their wings <03671> [were] joined <02266> one <0802> to

another <0269>; they turned <05437> not when they went <03212>;

they went <03212> every <0376> one <0376> straight <05676>

forward <06440>.

10 As for the likeness <01823> of their faces <06440>, they

four <0702> had the face <06440> of a man <0120>, and the face

<06440> of a lion <0738>, on <0413> the right <03225> side

<03225>: and they four <0702> had the face <06440> of an ox

<07794> on the left <08040> side <08040>; they four <0702> also

had the face <06440> of an eagle <05404>.

11 Thus [were] their faces <06440>: and their wings <03671>

[were] stretched <06504> upward <04605>; two <08147> [wings] of

every <0376> one <0376> [were] joined <02266> one <0376> to

another <0376>, and two <08147> covered <03680> their bodies

<01472>.

12 And they went <03212> every <0376> one <0376> straight

<05676> forward <06440>: whither the spirit <07307> was to go

<03212>, they went <03212>; [and] they turned <05437> not when

they went <03212>.

13 As for the likeness <01823> of the living <02416> creatures

<02416>, their appearance <04758> [was] like burning <01197>

coals <01513> of fire <0784>, [and] like the appearance <04758>

of lamps <03940>: it went <01980> up and down among <0996> the

living <02416> creatures <02416>; and the fire <0784> was bright

<05051>, and out of the fire <0784> went <03318> forth <03318>

lightning <01300>.

14 And the living <02416> creatures <02416> ran <07519> and

returned <07725> as the appearance <04758> of a flash <0965> of

lightning <0965>.

15. Now as I beheld <07200> the living <02416> creatures

<02416>, behold <02009> one <0259> wheel <0212> upon the earth

<0776> by the living <02416> creatures <02416>, with his four

<0702> faces <06440>.

16 The appearance <04758> of the wheels <0212> and their work

<04639> [was] like unto the colour <05869> of a beryl <08658>:

and they four <0702> had one <0259> likeness <01823>: and their

appearance <04758> and their work <04639> [was] as it were a

wheel <0212> in the middle <08432> of a wheel <0212>.

17 When they went <03212>, they went <03212> upon their four

<0702> sides <07253>: [and] they turned <05437> not when they

went <03212>.

18 As for their rings <01354>, they were so high <01362> that

they were dreadful <03374>; and their rings <01354> [were] full

<04392> of eyes <05869> round <05439> about them four <0702>.

19 And when the living <02416> creatures <02416> went <03212>,

the wheels <0212> went <03212> by them: and when the living

<02416> creatures <02416> were lifted <05375> up from the earth

<0776>, the wheels <0212> were lifted <05375> up.

20 Whithersoever the spirit <07307> was to go <03212>, they

went <03212>, thither <08033> [was their] spirit <07307> to go

<03212>; and the wheels <0212> were lifted <05375> up over

<05980> against <05980> them: for the spirit <07307> of the

living <02416> creature <02416> [was] in the wheels <0212>.

21 When those went <03212>, [these] went <03212>; and when

those stood <05975>, [these] stood <05975>; and when those were

lifted <05375> up from the earth <0776>, the wheels <0212> were

lifted <05375> up over <05980> against <05980> them: for the

spirit <07307> of the living <02416> creature <02416> [was] in

the wheels <0212>.

22 And the likeness <01823> of the firmament <07549> upon the

heads <07218> of the living <02416> creature <02416> [was] as

the colour <05869> of the terrible <03372> crystal <07140>,

stretched <05186> forth over <05921> their heads <07218> above

<04605>.

23 And under <08478> the firmament <07549> [were] their wings

<03671> straight <03474>, the one <0802> toward <0413> the other

<0269>: every <0376> one <0376> had two <08147>, which covered

<03680> on this <02007> side, and every <0376> one <0376> had

two <08147>, which covered <03680> on that side, their bodies

<01472>.

24 And when they went <03212>, I heard <08085> the noise

<06963> of their wings <03671>, like the noise <06963> of great

<07227> waters <04325>, as the voice <06963> of the Almighty

<07706>, the voice <06963> of speech <01999>, as the noise

<06963> of an host <04264>: when they stood <05975>, they let

<07503> down <07503> their wings <03671>.

25 And there was a voice <06963> from the firmament <07549>

that [was] over <05921> their heads <07218>, when they stood

<05975>, [and] had let <07503> down <07503> their wings <03671>.

26. And above <04605> the firmament <07549> that [was] over

<05921> their heads <07218> [was] the likeness <01823> of a

throne <03678>, as the appearance <04758> of a sapphire <05601>

stone <068>: and upon the likeness <01823> of the throne <03678>

[was] the likeness <01823> as the appearance <04758> of a man

<0120> above <04605> upon it.

27 And I saw <07200> as the colour <05869> of amber <02830>, as

the appearance <04758> of fire <0784> round <05439> about within

<01004> it, from the appearance <04758> of his loins <04975>

even upward <04605>, and from the appearance <04758> of his

loins <04975> even downward <04295>, I saw <07200> as it were

the appearance <04758> of fire <0784>, and it had brightness

<05051> round <05439> about.

28 As the appearance <04758> of the bow <07198> that is in the

cloud <06051> in the day <03117> of rain <01653>, so <03651>

[was] the appearance <04758> of the brightness <05051> round

<05439> about. This <01931> [was] the appearance <04758> of the

likeness <01823> of the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068>. And

when I saw <07200> [it], I fell <05307> upon my face <06440>,

and I heard <08085> a voice <06963> of one that spake <01696>.

Ezekiel 2

1. And he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, stand

<05975> upon thy feet <07272>, and I will speak <01696> unto

thee.

2 And the spirit <07307> entered <0935> into me when <0834> he

spake <01696> unto me, and set <05975> me upon my feet <07272>,

that I heard <08085> him that spake <01696> unto me.

3 And he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, I send

<07971> thee to the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, to a

rebellious <04775> nation <01471> that hath rebelled <04775>

against me: they and their fathers <01> have transgressed

<06586> against me, [even] unto this <02088> very <06106> day

<03117>.

4 For [they are] impudent children <01121> and stiffhearted. I

do send <07971> thee unto them; and thou shalt say <0559> unto

them, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

5 And they, whether <0518> they will hear <08085>, or whether

<0518> they will forbear <02308>, (for they [are] a rebellious

<04805> house <01004>,) yet shall know <03045> that there hath

been <01961> a prophet <05030> among <08432> them.

6. And thou, son <01121> of man <0120>, be not afraid <03372>

of them, neither <0408> be afraid <03372> of their words <01697>,

though <03588> briers <05621> and thorns <05544> [be] with thee,

and thou dost dwell <03427> among <0413> scorpions <06137>: be

not afraid <03372> of their words <01697>, nor <0408> be

dismayed <02865> at their looks <06400>, though <03588> they

[be] a rebellious <04805> house.

7 And thou shalt speak <01696> my words <01697> unto them,

whether <0518> they will hear <08085>, or whether <0518> they

will forbear <02308>: for they [are] most rebellious <04805>.

8 But thou, son <01121> of man <0120>, hear <08085> what I say

<01696> unto thee; Be not thou rebellious <04805> like that

rebellious <04805> house <01004>: open <06475> thy mouth <06310>,

and eat <0398> that I give <05414> thee.

9 And when I looked <07200>, behold <02009>, an hand <03027>

[was] sent <07971> unto me; and, lo <02009>, a roll <04040> of a

book <05612> [was] therein;

10 And he spread <06566> it before <06440> me; and it [was]

written <03789> within <06440> and without <0268>: and [there

was] written <03789> therein <0413> lamentations <07015>, and

mourning <01899>, and woe <01958>.

Ezekiel 3

1. Moreover he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>,

eat <0398> that thou findest <04672>; eat <0398> this <02063>

roll <04040>, and go <03212> speak <01696> unto the house

<01004> of Israel <03478>.

2 So I opened <06605> my mouth <06310>, and he caused me to eat

<0398> that roll <04040>.

3 And he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, cause

thy belly <0990> to eat <0398>, and fill <04390> thy bowels

<04578> with this <02063> roll <04040> that I give <05414> thee.

Then did I eat <0398> [it]; and it was in my mouth <06310> as

honey <01706> for sweetness <04966>.

4 And he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, go

<03212>, get <0935> thee unto the house <01004> of Israel

<03478>, and speak <01696> with my words <01697> unto them.

5 For thou [art] not sent <07971> to a people <05971> of a

strange <06012> speech <08193> and of an hard <03515> language

<03956>, [but] to the house <01004> of Israel <03478>;

6 Not to many <07227> people <05971> of a strange <06012>

speech <08193> and of an hard <03515> language <03956>, whose

<0834> words <01697> thou canst not understand <08085>. Surely,

had I sent <07971> thee to them, they would have hearkened

<08085> unto thee.

7 But the house <01004> of Israel <03478> will <014> not

hearken <08085> unto thee; for they will <014> not hearken

<08085> unto me: for all <03605> the house <01004> of Israel

<03478> [are] impudent and hardhearted.

8 Behold <02009>, I have made <05414> thy face <06440> strong

<02389> against <05980> their faces <06440>, and thy forehead

<04696> strong <02389> against <05980> their foreheads <04696>.

9 As an adamant <08068> harder <02389> than flint <06864> have

I made <05414> thy forehead <04696>: fear <03372> them not,

neither <03808> be dismayed <02865> at their looks <06400>,

though they [be] a rebellious <04805> house <01004>.

10 Moreover he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>,

all <03605> my words <01697> that I shall speak <01696> unto

thee receive <03947> in thine heart <03824>, and hear <08085>

with thine ears <0241>.

11 And go <03212>, get <0935> thee to them of the captivity

<01473>, unto the children <01121> of thy people <05971>, and

speak <01696> unto them, and tell <0559> them, Thus <03541>

saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; whether <0518> they

will hear <08085>, or whether <0518> they will forbear <02308>.

12 Then the spirit <07307> took <05375> me up, and I heard

<08085> behind <0310> me a voice <06963> of a great <01419>

rushing <07494>, [saying], Blessed <01288> [be] the glory

<03519> of the LORD <03068> from his place <04725>.

13 [I heard] also the noise <06963> of the wings <03671> of the

living <02416> creatures <02416> that touched <05401> one <0802>

another <0269>, and the noise <06963> of the wheels <0212> over

<05980> against <05980> them, and a noise <06963> of a great

<01419> rushing <07494>.

14 So the spirit <07307> lifted <05375> me up, and took <03947>

me away, and I went <03212> in bitterness <04751>, in the heat

<02534> of my spirit <07307>; but the hand <03027> of the LORD

<03068> was strong <02388> upon me.

15 Then I came <0935> to them of the captivity <01473> at

Telabib <08512>, that dwelt <03427> by the river <05104> of

Chebar <03529>, and I sat <03427> where <08033> they sat <03427>,

and remained <03427> there <08033> astonished <08074> among

<08432> them seven <07651> days <03117>.

16. And it came <01961> to pass at the end <07097> of seven

<07651> days <03117>, that the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>

came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

17 Son <01121> of man <0120>, I have made <05414> thee a

watchman <06822> unto the house <01004> of Israel <03478>:

therefore hear <08085> the word <01697> at my mouth <06310>, and

give them warning <02094> from me.

18 When I say <0559> unto the wicked <07563>, Thou shalt surely

die <04191>; and thou givest him not warning <02094>, nor

<03808> speakest <01696> to warn <02094> the wicked <07563> from

his wicked <07563> way <01870>, to save <02421> his life <02421>;

the same <01931> wicked <07563> [man] shall die <04191> in his

iniquity <05771>; but his blood <01818> will I require <01245>

at thine hand <03027>.

19 Yet if <03588> thou warn <02094> the wicked <07563>, and he

turn <07725> not from his wickedness <07562>, nor from his

wicked <07563> way <01870>, he shall die <04191> in his iniquity

<05771>; but thou hast delivered <05337> thy soul <05315>.

20 Again <07725>, When a righteous <06662> [man] doth turn

<07725> from his righteousness <06664>, and commit <06213>

iniquity <05766>, and I lay <05414> a stumblingblock <04383>

before <06440> him, he shall die <04191>: because <03588> thou

hast not given him warning <02094>, he shall die <04191> in his

sin <02403>, and his righteousness <06666> which <0834> he hath

done <06213> shall not be remembered <02142>; but his blood

<01818> will I require <01245> at thine hand <03027>.

21 Nevertheless if <03588> thou warn <02094> the righteous

<06662> [man], that the righteous <06662> sin <02398> not, and

he doth not sin <02398>, he shall surely live <02421>, because

<03588> he is warned <02094>; also thou hast delivered <05337>

thy soul <05315>.

22. And the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> was there <08033>

upon me; and he said <0559> unto me, Arise <06965>, go <03318>

forth <03318> into <0413> the plain <01237>, and I will there

<08033> talk <01696> with thee.

23 Then I arose <06965>, and went <03318> forth <03318> into

<0413> the plain <01237>: and, behold <02009>, the glory <03519>

of the LORD <03068> stood <05975> there <08033>, as the glory

<03519> which <0834> I saw <07200> by the river <05104> of

Chebar <03529>: and I fell <05307> on <05921> my face <06440>.

24 Then the spirit <07307> entered <0935> into me, and set

<05975> me upon my feet <07272>, and spake <01696> with me, and

said <0559> unto me, Go <0935>, shut <05462> thyself within

<08432> thine house <01004>.

25 But thou, O son <01121> of man <0120>, behold <02009>, they

shall put <05414> bands <05688> upon thee, and shall bind <0631>

thee with them, and thou shalt not go <03318> out among <08432>

them:

26 And I will make thy tongue <03956> cleave <01692> to the

roof <02441> of thy mouth <02441>, that thou shalt be dumb

<0481>, and shalt not be to them a reprover <03198>: for they

[are] a rebellious <04805> house <01004>.

27 But when I speak <01696> with thee, I will open <06605> thy

mouth <06310>, and thou shalt say <0559> unto them, Thus <03541>

saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; He that heareth

<08085>, let him hear <08085>; and he that forbeareth <02310>,

let him forbear <02308>: for they [are] a rebellious <04805>

house <01004>.

Ezekiel 4

1. Thou also, son <01121> of man <0120>, take <03947> thee a

tile <03843>, and lay <05414> it before <06440> thee, and

pourtray <02710> upon it the city <05892>, [even <0853>]

Jerusalem <03389>:

2 And lay <05414> siege <04692> against <05921> it, and build

<01129> a fort <01785> against <05921> it, and cast <08210> a

mount <05550> against <05921> it; set <05414> the camp <04264>

also against <05921> it, and set <07760> [battering] rams

<03733> against <05921> it round <05439> about.

3 Moreover take <03947> thou unto thee an iron <01270> pan

<04227>, and set <05414> it [for] a wall <07023> of iron <01270>

between <0996> thee and the city <05892>: and set <03559> thy

face <06440> against <0413> it, and it shall be besieged <04692>,

and thou shalt lay siege <06696> against <05921> it. This

<01931> [shall be] a sign <0226> to the house <01004> of Israel

<03478>.

4 Lie <07901> thou also upon thy left <08042> side <06654>, and

lay <07760> the iniquity <05771> of the house <01004> of Israel

<03478> upon it: [according] to the number <04557> of the days

<03117> that thou shalt lie <07901> upon it thou shalt bear

<05375> their iniquity <05771>.

5 For I have laid <05414> upon thee the years <08141> of their

iniquity <05771>, according to the number <04557> of the days

<03117>, three <07969> hundred <03967> and ninety <08673> days

<03117>: so shalt thou bear <05375> the iniquity <05771> of the

house <01004> of Israel <03478>.

6 And when thou hast accomplished <03615> them, lie <07901>

again <08145> on <05921> thy right <06227> side <06654>, and

thou shalt bear <05375> the iniquity <05771> of the house

<01004> of Judah <03063> forty <0705> days <03117>: I have

appointed <05414> thee each day <03117> for a year <08141>.

7 Therefore thou shalt set <03559> thy face <06440> toward

<0413> the siege <04692> of Jerusalem <03389>, and thine arm

<02220> [shall be] uncovered <02834>, and thou shalt prophesy

<05012> against <05921> it.

8 And, behold <02009>, I will lay bands <05688> upon thee, and

thou shalt not turn <02015> thee from one side <06654> to

another, till <05704> thou hast ended <03615> the days <03117>

of thy siege <04692>.

9. Take <03947> thou also unto thee wheat <02406>, and barley

<08184>, and beans <06321>, and lentiles <05742>, and millet

<01764>, and fitches <03698>, and put <05414> them in one <0259>

vessel <03627>, and make <06213> thee bread <03899> thereof,

[according] to the number <04557> of the days <03117> that thou

shalt lie <07901> upon thy side <06654>, three <07969> hundred

<03967> and ninety <08673> days <03117> shalt thou eat <0398>

thereof.

10 And thy meat <03978> which <0834> thou shalt eat <0398>

[shall be] by weight <04946>, twenty <06242> shekels <08255> a

day <03117>: from time <06256> to time <06256> shalt thou eat

<0398> it.

11 Thou shalt drink <08354> also water <04325> by measure

<04884>, the sixth <08345> part of an hin <01969>: from time

<06256> to time <06256> shalt thou drink <08354>.

12 And thou shalt eat <0398> it [as] barley <08184> cakes

<05692>, and thou shalt bake <05746> it with dung <01561> that

cometh <06627> out of man <0120>, in their sight <05869>.

13 And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, Even <03602> thus <03602>

shall the children <01121> of Israel <03478> eat <0398> their

defiled <02931> bread <03899> among the Gentiles <01471>,

whither I will drive <05080> them.

14 Then said <0559> I, Ah <0162> Lord <0136> GOD <03069>!

behold <02009>, my soul <05315> hath not been polluted <02930>:

for from my youth <05271> up even till <05704> now <06258> have

I not eaten <0398> of that which dieth <05038> of itself, or is

torn <02966> in pieces; neither <03808> came <0935> there

abominable <06292> flesh <01320> into my mouth <06310>.

15 Then he said <0559> unto me, Lo <07200>, I have given

<05414> thee cow's <01241> dung <06832> for man's <0120> dung

<01561>, and thou shalt prepare <06213> thy bread <03899>

therewith <05921>.

16 Moreover he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>,

behold <02005>, I will break <07665> the staff <04294> of bread

<03899> in Jerusalem <03389>: and they shall eat <0398> bread

<03899> by weight <04948>, and with care <01674>; and they shall

drink <08354> water <04325> by measure <04884>, and with

astonishment <08078>:

17 That they may want <02637> bread <03899> and water <04325>,

and be astonied <08074> one <0376> with another <0250>, and

consume <04743> away for their iniquity <05771>.

Ezekiel 5

1. And thou, son <01121> of man <0120>, take <03947> thee a

sharp <02299> knife <02719>, take <03947> thee a barber's

<01532> razor <08593>, and cause [it] to pass <05674> upon thine

head <07218> and upon thy beard <02206>: then take <03947> thee

balances <03976> to weigh <04948>, and divide <02505> the [hair].

2 Thou shalt burn <01197> with fire <0217> a third <07992> part

in the midst <08432> of the city <05892>, when the days <03117>

of the siege <04692> are fulfilled <04390>: and thou shalt take

<03947> a third <07992> part, [and] smite <05221> about <05439>

it with a knife <02719>: and a third <07992> part thou shalt

scatter <02219> in the wind <07307>; and I will draw <07324> out

a sword <02719> after <0310> them.

3 Thou shalt also take <03947> thereof a few <04592> in number

<04557>, and bind <06887> them in thy skirts <03671>.

4 Then take <03947> of them again <05750>, and cast <07993>

them into <0413> the midst <08432> of the fire <0784>, and burn

<08313> them in the fire <0784>; [for] thereof shall a fire

<0784> come <03318> forth <03318> into <0413> all <03605> the

house <01004> of Israel <03478>.

5. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; This

<02063> [is] Jerusalem <03389>: I have set <07760> it in the

midst <08432> of the nations <01471> and countries <0776> [that

are] round <05439> about her.

6 And she hath changed <04171> my judgments <04941> into

wickedness <07564> more <04480> than <04480> the nations <01471>,

and my statutes <02708> more <04480> than <04480> the countries

<0776> that [are] round <05439> about her: for they have refused

<03988> my judgments <04941> and my statutes <02708>, they have

not walked <01980> in them.

7 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Because <03282> ye multiplied <01995> more <04480>

than <04480> the nations <01471> that [are] round <05439> about

you, [and] have not walked <01980> in my statutes <02708>,

neither <03808> have kept <06213> my judgments <04941>, neither

<03808> have done <06213> according to the judgments <04941> of

the nations <01471> that [are] round <05439> about you;

8 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I, even <01571> I, [am] against

<05921> thee, and will execute <06213> judgments <04941> in the

midst <08432> of thee in the sight <05869> of the nations

<01471>.

9 And I will do <06213> in thee that which <0834> I have not

done <06213>, and whereunto <0834> I will not do <06213> any

more <05750> the like <03644>, because <03282> of all <03605>

thine abominations <08441>.

10 Therefore <03651> the fathers <01> shall eat <0398> the sons

<01121> in the midst <08432> of thee, and the sons <01121> shall

eat <0398> their fathers <01>; and I will execute <06213>

judgments <08201> in thee, and the whole <03605> remnant <07611>

of thee will I scatter <02219> into all <03605> the winds

<07307>.

11 Wherefore <03651>, [as] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the

Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Surely, because <03282> thou hast

defiled <02930> my sanctuary <04720> with all <03605> thy

detestable <08251> things, and with all <03605> thine

abominations <08441>, therefore will I also <01571> diminish

<01639> [thee]; neither <01571> shall mine eye <05869> spare

<02347>, neither <01571> will I have any pity <02550>.

12 A third <07992> part of thee shall die <04191> with the

pestilence <01698>, and with famine <07458> shall they be

consumed <03615> in the midst <08432> of thee: and a third

<07992> part shall fall <05307> by the sword <02719> round

<05439> about thee; and I will scatter <02219> a third <07992>

part into all <03605> the winds <07307>, and I will draw <07324>

out a sword <02719> after <0310> them.

13 Thus shall mine anger <0639> be accomplished <03615>, and I

will cause my fury <02534> to rest <05117> upon them, and I will

be comforted <05162>: and they shall know <03045> that I the

LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> [it] in my zeal <07068>, when I

have accomplished <03615> my fury <02534> in them.

14 Moreover I will make <05414> thee waste <02723>, and a

reproach <02781> among the nations <01471> that [are] round

<05439> about thee, in the sight <05869> of all <03605> that

pass <05674> by.

15 So it shall be a reproach <02781> and a taunt <01422>, an

instruction <04148> and an astonishment <08047> unto the nations

<01471> that [are] round <05439> about thee, when I shall

execute <06213> judgments <08201> in thee in anger <0639> and in

fury <02534> and in furious <02534> rebukes <08433>. I the LORD

<03068> have spoken <01696> [it].

16 When I shall send <07971> upon them the evil <07451> arrows

<02671> of famine <07458>, which <0834> shall be for [their]

destruction <04889>, [and] which <0834> I will send <07971> to

destroy <07843> you: and I will increase <03254> the famine

<07458> upon you, and will break <07665> your staff <04294> of

bread <03899>:

17 So will I send <07971> upon you famine <07458> and evil

<07451> beasts <02416>, and they shall bereave <07921> thee; and

pestilence <01698> and blood <01818> shall pass <05674> through

thee; and I will bring <0935> the sword <02719> upon thee. I the

LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> [it].

Ezekiel 6

1. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto

me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, set <07760> thy face <06440>

toward <0413> the mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>, and

prophesy <05012> against <0413> them,

3 And say <0559>, Ye mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>, hear

<08085> the word <01697> of the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Thus

<03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> to the

mountains <02022>, and to the hills <01389>, to the rivers

<0650>, and to the valleys <01516>; Behold <02005>, I, [even] I,

will bring <0935> a sword <02719> upon you, and I will destroy

<06> your high <01116> places.

4 And your altars <04196> shall be desolate <08074>, and your

images <02553> shall be broken <07665>: and I will cast <05307>

down <05307> your slain <02491> [men] before <06440> your idols

<01544>.

5 And I will lay <05414> the dead carcases <06297> of the

children <01121> of Israel <03478> before <06440> their idols

<01544>; and I will scatter <02219> your bones <06106> round

<05439> about your altars <04196>.

6 In all <03605> your dwellingplaces <04186> the cities <05892>

shall be laid waste <02717>, and the high <01116> places shall

be desolate <03456>; that your altars <04196> may be laid waste

<02717> and made desolate <0816>, and your idols <01544> may be

broken <07665> and cease <07673>, and your images <02553> may be

cut <01438> down <01438>, and your works <04639> may be

abolished <04229>.

7 And the slain <02491> shall fall <05307> in the midst <08432>

of you, and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

8. Yet will I leave <03498> a remnant <03498>, that ye may have

<01961> [some] that shall escape <06412> the sword <02719> among

the nations <01471>, when ye shall be scattered <02219> through

the countries <0776>.

9 And they that escape <06412> of you shall remember <02142> me

among the nations <01471> whither they shall be carried <07617>

captives <07617>, because <0834> I am broken <07665> with their

whorish <02181> heart <03820>, which <0834> hath departed

<05493> from me, and with their eyes <05869>, which go a whoring

<02181> after <0310> their idols <01544>: and they shall lothe

<06962> themselves <06440> for the evils <07451> which <0834>

they have committed <06213> in all <03605> their abominations

<08441>.

10 And they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>,

[and that] I have not said <01696> in vain <02600> that I would

do <06213> this <02063> evil <07451> unto them.

11. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;

Smite <05221> with thine hand <03709>, and stamp <07554> with

thy foot <07272>, and say <0559>, Alas <0253> for all <03605>

the evil <07451> abominations <08441> of the house <01004> of

Israel <03478>! for they shall fall <05307> by the sword <02719>,

by the famine <07458>, and by the pestilence <01698>.

12 He that is far <07350> off shall die <04191> of the

pestilence <01698>; and he that is near <07138> shall fall

<05307> by the sword <02719>; and he that remaineth <07604> and

is besieged <05341> shall die <04191> by the famine <07458>:

thus will I accomplish <03615> my fury <02534> upon them.

13 Then shall ye know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>,

when their slain <02491> [men] shall be among <08432> their

idols <01544> round <05439> about their altars <04196>, upon

every <03605> high <07311> hill <01389>, in all <03605> the tops

<07218> of the mountains <02022>, and under <08478> every

<03605> green <07488> tree <06086>, and under <08478> every

<03605> thick <05687> oak <0424>, the place <04725> where they

did offer <05414> sweet <05207> savour <07381> to all <03605>

their idols <01544>.

14 So will I stretch <05186> out my hand <03027> upon them, and

make <05414> the land <0776> desolate <08077>, yea, more

desolate <08047> than the wilderness <04057> toward Diblath

<01689>, in all <03605> their habitations <04186>: and they

shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

Ezekiel 7

1. Moreover the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961>

unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Also, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, thus <03541> saith

<0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> unto the land <0127> of

Israel <03478>; An end <07093>, the end <07093> is come <0935>

upon the four <0702> corners <03671> of the land <0776>.

3 Now <06258> [is] the end <07093> [come] upon thee, and I will

send <07971> mine anger <0639> upon thee, and will judge <08199>

thee according to thy ways <01870>, and will recompense <05414>

upon thee all <03605> thine abominations <08441>.

4 And mine eye <05869> shall not spare <02347> thee, neither

<03808> will I have pity <02550>: but I will recompense <05414>

thy ways <01870> upon thee, and thine abominations <08441> shall

be in the midst <08432> of thee: and ye shall know <03045> that

I [am] the LORD <03068>.

5 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; An

evil <07451>, an only <0259> evil <07451>, behold <02009>, is

come <0935>.

6 An end <07093> is come <0935>, the end <07093> is come <0935>:

it watcheth <06974> for thee; behold <02009>, it is come <0935>.

7 The morning <06843> is come <0935> unto thee, O thou that

dwellest <03427> in the land <0776>: the time <06256> is come

<0935>, the day <03117> of trouble <04103> [is] near <07138>,

and not the sounding <01906> again <01906> of the mountains

<02022>.

8 Now <06258> will I shortly <07138> pour <08210> out my fury

<02534> upon thee, and accomplish <03615> mine anger <0639> upon

thee: and I will judge <08199> thee according to thy ways

<01870>, and will recompense <05414> thee for all <03605> thine

abominations <08441>.

9 And mine eye <05869> shall not spare <02347>, neither <03808>

will I have pity <02550>: I will recompense <05414> thee

according to thy ways <01870> and thine abominations <08441>

[that] are in the midst <08432> of thee; and ye shall know

<03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068> that smiteth <05221>.

10 Behold <02009> the day <03117>, behold <02009>, it is come

<0935>: the morning <06843> is gone <03318> forth <03318>; the

rod <04294> hath blossomed <06692>, pride <02087> hath budded

<06524>.

11 Violence <02555> is risen <06965> up into a rod <04294> of

wickedness <07562>: none <03808> of them [shall remain], nor

<03808> of their multitude <01995>, nor <03808> of any <01991>

of theirs <01992>: neither <03808> [shall there be] wailing

<05089> for them.

12 The time <06256> is come <0935>, the day <03117> draweth

near <05060>: let not the buyer <07069> rejoice <08055>, nor

<0408> the seller <04376> mourn <056>: for wrath <02740> [is]

upon all <03605> the multitude <01995> thereof.

13 For the seller <04376> shall not return <07725> to that

which is sold <04465>, although they were yet <05750> alive

<02416>: for the vision <02377> [is] touching <0413> the whole

<03605> multitude <01995> thereof, [which] shall not return

<07725>; neither <03808> shall any <0376> strengthen <02388>

himself in the iniquity <05771> of his life <02416>.

14 They have blown <08628> the trumpet <08628>, even to make

all <03605> ready <03559>; but none <0369> goeth <01980> to the

battle <04421>: for my wrath <02740> [is] upon all <03605> the

multitude <01995> thereof.

15 The sword <02719> [is] without <02351>, and the pestilence

<01698> and the famine <07458> within <01004>: he that [is] in

the field <07704> shall die <04191> with the sword <02719>; and

he that [is] in the city <05892>, famine <07458> and pestilence

<01698> shall devour <0398> him.

16. But they that escape <06403> of them shall escape <06412>,

and shall be on <0413> the mountains <02022> like doves <03123>

of the valleys <01516>, all <03605> of them mourning <01993>,

every <0376> one <0376> for his iniquity <05771>.

17 All <03605> hands <03027> shall be feeble <07503>, and all

<03605> knees <01290> shall be weak <03212> [as] water <04325>.

18 They shall also gird <02296> [themselves] with sackcloth

<08242>, and horror <06427> shall cover <03680> them; and shame

<0955> [shall be] upon all <03605> faces <06440>, and baldness

<07144> upon all <03605> their heads <07218>.

19 They shall cast <07993> their silver <03701> in the streets

<02351>, and their gold <02091> shall be removed <05079>: their

silver <03701> and their gold <02091> shall not be able <03201>

to deliver <05337> them in the day <03117> of the wrath <05678>

of the LORD <03068>: they shall not satisfy <07646> their souls

<05315>, neither <03808> fill <04390> their bowels <04578>:

because <03588> it is the stumblingblock <04383> of their

iniquity <05771>.

20 As for the beauty <06643> of his ornament <05716>, he set

<07760> it in majesty <01347>: but they made <06213> the images

<06754> of their abominations <08441> [and] of their detestable

<08251> things therein: therefore have I set <05414> it far

<05079> from them.

21 And I will give <05414> it into the hands <03027> of the

strangers <02114> for a prey <0957>, and to the wicked <07563>

of the earth <0776> for a spoil <07998>; and they shall pollute

<02490> it.

22 My face <06440> will I turn <05437> also from them, and they

shall pollute <02490> my secret <06845> [place]: for the robbers

<06530> shall enter <0935> into it, and defile <02490> it.

23. Make <06213> a chain <07659>: for the land <0776> is full

<04390> of bloody <01818> crimes <04941>, and the city <05892>

is full <04390> of violence <02555>.

24 Wherefore I will bring <0935> the worst <07451> of the

heathen <01471>, and they shall possess <03423> their houses

<01004>: I will also make the pomp <01347> of the strong <05794>

to cease <07673>; and their holy <06942> places shall be defiled

<02490>.

25 Destruction <07089> cometh <0935>; and they shall seek

<01245> peace <07965>, and [there shall be] none <0369>.

26 Mischief <01943> shall come <0935> upon mischief <01943>,

and rumour <08052> shall be upon rumour <08052>; then shall they

seek <01245> a vision <02377> of the prophet <05030>; but the

law <08451> shall perish <06> from the priest <03548>, and

counsel <06098> from the ancients <02204>.

27 The king <04428> shall mourn <056>, and the prince <05387>

shall be clothed <03847> with desolation <08077>, and the hands

<03027> of the people <05971> of the land <0776> shall be

troubled <0926>: I will do <06213> unto them after their way

<01870>, and according to their deserts <04941> will I judge

<08199> them; and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD

<03068>.

Ezekiel 8

1. And it came <01961> to pass in the sixth <08345> year

<08141>, in the sixth <08345> [month], in the fifth <02568>

[day] of the month <02320>, [as] I sat <03427> in mine house

<01004>, and the elders <02205> of Judah <03063> sat <03427>

before <06440> me, that the hand <03027> of the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069> fell <05307> there <08033> upon me.

2 Then I beheld <07200>, and lo <02009> a likeness <01823> as

the appearance <04758> of fire <0784>: from the appearance

<04758> of his loins <04975> even downward <04295>, fire <0784>;

and from his loins <04975> even upward <04605>, as the

appearance <04758> of brightness <02096>, as the colour <05869>

of amber <02830>.

3 And he put <07971> forth <07971> the form <08403> of an hand

<03027>, and took <03947> me by a lock <06734> of mine head

<07218>; and the spirit <07307> lifted <05375> me up between

<0996> the earth <0776> and the heaven <08064>, and brought

<0935> me in the visions <04759> of God <0430> to Jerusalem

<03389>, to the door <06607> of the inner <06442> gate <08179>

that looketh <06437> toward the north <06828>; where [was] the

seat <04186> of the image <05566> of jealousy <07069>, which

provoketh to jealousy <07069>.

4 And, behold <02009>, the glory <03519> of the God <0430> of

Israel <03478> [was] there <08033>, according to the vision

<04758> that I saw <07200> in the plain <01237>.

5 Then said <0559> he unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, lift

<05375> up thine eyes <05869> now <04994> the way <01870> toward

the north <06828>. So I lifted <05375> up mine eyes <05869> the

way <01870> toward the north <06828>, and behold <02009>

northward <06828> at the gate <08179> of the altar <04196> this

<02088> image <05566> of jealousy <07068> in the entry <0872>.

6 He said <0559> furthermore unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>,

seest <07200> thou what <04100> they do <06213>? [even] the

great <01419> abominations <08441> that the house <01004> of

Israel <03478> committeth <06213> here <06311>, that I should go

<07368> far <07368> off from my sanctuary <04720>? but turn

<07725> thee yet <05750> again <05750>, [and] thou shalt see

<07200> greater <01419> abominations <08441>.

7. And he brought <0935> me to the door <06607> of the court

<02691>; and when I looked <07200>, behold <02009> a hole

<02356> in the wall <07023>.

8 Then said <0559> he unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, dig

<02864> now <04994> in the wall <07023>: and when I had digged

<02864> in the wall <07023>, behold <02009> a door <06607>.

9 And he said <0559> unto me, Go <0935> in, and behold <07200>

the wicked <07451> abominations <08441> that they do <06213>

here <06311>.

10 So I went <0935> in and saw <07200>; and behold <02009>

every <03605> form <08403> of creeping <07431> things, and

abominable <08263> beasts <0929>, and all <03605> the idols

<01544> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, pourtrayed

<02707> upon the wall <07023> round <05439> about.

11 And there stood <05975> before <06440> them seventy <07657>

men <0376> of the ancients <02204> of the house <01004> of

Israel <03478>, and in the midst <08432> of them stood <05975>

Jaazaniah <02970> the son <01121> of Shaphan <08227>, with every

man <0376> his censer <04730> in his hand <03027>; and a thick

<06282> cloud <06051> of incense <07004> went <05927> up.

12 Then said <0559> he unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, hast

thou seen <07200> what <0834> the ancients <02204> of the house

<01004> of Israel <03478> do <06213> in the dark <02822>, every

man <0376> in the chambers <02315> of his imagery <04906>? for

they say <0559>, The LORD <03068> seeth <07200> us not; the LORD

<03068> hath forsaken <05800> the earth <0776>.

13. He said <0559> also unto me, Turn <07725> thee yet <05750>

again <05750>, [and] thou shalt see <07200> greater <01419>

abominations <08441> that they do <06213>.

14 Then he brought <0935> me to the door <06607> of the gate

<08179> of the LORD'S <03068> house <01004> which <0834> [was]

toward <05921> the north <06828>; and, behold <02009>, there

<08033> sat <03427> women <0802> weeping <01058> for Tammuz

<08542>.

15 Then said <0559> he unto me, Hast thou seen <07200> [this],

O son <01121> of man <0120>? turn <07725> thee yet <05750> again

<05750>, [and] thou shalt see <07200> greater <01419>

abominations <08441> than these <0428>.

16 And he brought <0935> me into <0413> the inner <06442> court

<02691> of the LORD'S <03068> house <01004>, and, behold <02009>,

at the door <06607> of the temple <01964> of the LORD <03068>,

between <0996> the porch <0197> and the altar <04196>, [were]

about five <02568> and twenty <06242> men <0376>, with their

backs <0268> toward <0413> the temple <01964> of the LORD

<03068>, and their faces <06440> toward the east <06924>; and

they worshipped <07812> the sun <08121> toward the east <06924>.

17 Then he said <0559> unto me, Hast thou seen <07200> [this],

O son <01121> of man <0120>? Is it a light <07043> thing to the

house <01004> of Judah <03063> that they commit <06213> the

abominations <08441> which <0834> they commit <06213> here

<06311>? for they have filled <04390> the land <0776> with

violence <02555>, and have returned <07725> to provoke me to

anger <03707>: and, lo <02009>, they put <07971> the branch

<02156> to their nose <0639>.

18 Therefore will I also <01571> deal <06213> in fury <02534>:

mine eye <05869> shall not spare <02347>, neither <03808> will I

have pity <02550>: and though they cry <07121> in mine ears

<0241> with a loud <01419> voice <06963>, [yet] will I not hear

<08085> them.

Ezekiel 9

1. He cried <07121> also in mine ears <0241> with a loud

<01419> voice <06963>, saying <0559>, Cause them that have

charge <06486> over the city <05892> to draw near <07126>, even

every man <0376> [with] his destroying <04892> weapon <03627> in

his hand <03027>.

2 And, behold <02009>, six <08337> men <0582> came <0935> from

the way <01870> of the higher <05945> gate <08179>, which <0834>

lieth toward the north <06828>, and every man <0376> a slaughter

<04660> weapon <03627> in his hand <03027>; and one <0259> man

<0376> among <08432> them [was] clothed <03847> with linen

<0906>, with a writer's <05608> inkhorn <07083> by his side

<04975>: and they went <0935> in, and stood <05975> beside

<0681> the brasen <05178> altar <04196>.

3 And the glory <03519> of the God <0430> of Israel <03478> was

gone <05927> up from the cherub <03742>, whereupon he was, to

the threshold <04670> of the house <01004>. And he called

<07121> to the man <0376> clothed <03847> with linen <0906>,

which <0834> [had] the writer's <05608> inkhorn <07083> by his

side <04975>;

4 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto him, Go <05674> through

<05674> the midst <08432> of the city <05892>, through the midst

<08432> of Jerusalem <03389>, and set <08427> a mark <08420>

upon the foreheads <04696> of the men <0582> that sigh <0584>

and that cry <0602> for all <03605> the abominations <08441>

that be done <06213> in the midst <08432> thereof.

5. And to the others <0428> he said <0559> in mine hearing

<0241>, Go <05674> ye after <0310> him through the city <05892>,

and smite <05221>: let not your eye <05869> spare <02347>,

neither <0408> have ye pity <02550>:

6 Slay <02026> utterly old <02205> [and] young <0970>, both

maids <01330>, and little <02945> children <02945>, and women

<0802>: but come <05066> not near <05066> any <03605> man <0376>

upon whom <0834> [is] the mark <08420>; and begin <02490> at my

sanctuary <04720>. Then they began <02490> at the ancient

<02204> men <0582> which <0834> [were] before <06440> the house

<01004>.

7 And he said <0559> unto them, Defile <02930> the house

<01004>, and fill <04390> the courts <02691> with the slain

<02491>: go <03318> ye forth <03318>. And they went <03318>

forth <03318>, and slew <05221> in the city <05892>.

8 And it came <01961> to pass, while they were slaying <05221>

them, and I was left <07604>, that I fell <05307> upon my face

<06440>, and cried <02199>, and said <0559>, Ah <0162> Lord

<0136> GOD <03069>! wilt thou destroy <07843> all <03605> the

residue <07611> of Israel <03478> in thy pouring <08210> out of

thy fury <02534> upon Jerusalem <03389>?

9 Then said <0559> he unto me, The iniquity <05771> of the

house <01004> of Israel <03478> and Judah <03063> [is] exceeding

<03966> great <01419>, and the land <0776> is full <04390> of

blood <01818>, and the city <05892> full <04390> of perverseness

<04297>: for they say <0559>, The LORD <03068> hath forsaken

<05800> the earth <0776>, and the LORD <03068> seeth <07200> not.

10 And as for me also <01571>, mine eye <05869> shall not spare

<02347>, neither <03808> will I have pity <02550>, [but] I will

recompense <05414> their way <01870> upon their head <07218>.

11 And, behold <02009>, the man <0376> clothed <03847> with

linen <0906>, which <0834> [had] the inkhorn <07083> by his side

<04975>, reported <07725> the matter <01697>, saying <0559>, I

have done <06213> as thou hast commanded <06680> me.

Ezekiel 10

1. Then I looked <07200>, and, behold <02009>, in the firmament

<07549> that was above <05921> the head <07218> of the cherubims

<03742> there appeared <07200> over <05921> them as it were a

sapphire <05601> stone <068>, as the appearance <04758> of the

likeness <01823> of a throne <03678>.

2 And he spake <0559> unto the man <0376> clothed <03847> with

linen <0906>, and said <0559>, Go <0935> in between <0996> the

wheels <01534>, [even] under the cherub <03742>, and fill

<04390> thine hand <02651> with coals <01513> of fire <0784>

from between <0996> the cherubims <03742>, and scatter <02236>

[them] over <05921> the city <05892>. And he went <0935> in in

my sight <05869>.

3 Now the cherubims <03742> stood <05975> on <05921> the right

<03225> side <03225> of the house <01004>, when the man <0376>

went <0935> in; and the cloud <06051> filled <04390> the inner

<06442> court <02691>.

4 Then the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> went <07311> up

from the cherub <03742>, [and stood] over <05921> the threshold

<04670> of the house <01004>; and the house <01004> was filled

<04390> with the cloud <06051>, and the court <02691> was full

<04390> of the brightness <05051> of the LORD'S <03068> glory

<03519>.

5 And the sound <06963> of the cherubims <03742>' wings <03671>

was heard <08085> [even] to the outer <02435> court <02691>, as

the voice <06963> of the Almighty <07706> God <0410> when he

speaketh <01696>.

6 And it came <01961> to pass, [that] when he had commanded

<06680> the man <0376> clothed <03847> with linen <0906>, saying

<0559>, Take <03947> fire <0784> from between <0996> the wheels

<01534>, from between <0996> the cherubims <03742>; then he went

<0935> in, and stood <05975> beside <0681> the wheels <0212>.

7 And [one] cherub <03742> stretched <07971> forth his hand

<03027> from between <0996> the cherubims <03742> unto the fire

<0784> that [was] between <0996> the cherubims <03742>, and took

<05375> [thereof], and put <05414> [it] into <0413> the hands

<02651> of [him that was] clothed <03847> with linen <0906>: who

took <03947> [it], and went <03318> out.

8. And there appeared <07200> in the cherubims <03742> the form

<08403> of a man's <0120> hand <03027> under <08478> their wings

<03671>.

9 And when I looked <07200>, behold <02009> the four <0702>

wheels <0212> by the cherubims <03742>, one <0259> wheel <0212>

by one <0259> cherub <03742>, and another <0259> wheel <0212> by

another <0259> cherub <03742>: and the appearance <04758> of the

wheels <0212> [was] as the colour <05869> of a beryl <08658>

stone <068>.

10 And [as for] their appearances <04758>, they four <0702> had

<01961> one <0259> likeness <01823>, as if <0834> a wheel <0212>

had been <01961> in the midst <08432> of a wheel <0212>.

11 When they went <03212>, they went <03212> upon their four

<0702> sides <07253>; they turned <05437> not as they went

<03212>, but to the place <04725> whither <0834> the head

<07218> looked <06437> they followed it; they turned <05437> not

as they went <03212>.

12 And their whole <03605> body <01320>, and their backs

<01354>, and their hands <03027>, and their wings <03671>, and

the wheels <0212>, [were] full <04392> of eyes <05869> round

<05439> about, [even] the wheels <0212> that they four <0702>

had.

13 As for the wheels <0212>, it was cried <07121> unto them in

my hearing <0241>, O wheel <01534>.

14 And every one <0259> had four <0702> faces <06440>: the

first <0259> face <06440> [was] the face <06440> of a cherub

<03742>, and the second <08145> face <06440> [was] the face

<06440> of a man <0120>, and the third <07992> the face <06440>

of a lion <0738>, and the fourth <07243> the face <06440> of an

eagle <05404>.

15 And the cherubims <03742> were lifted <07426> up. This

<01931> [is] the living <02416> creature <02416> that I saw

<07200> by the river <05104> of Chebar <03529>.

16 And when the cherubims <03742> went <03212>, the wheels

<0212> went <03212> by them: and when the cherubims <03742>

lifted <05375> up their wings <03671> to mount <07311> up from

the earth <0776>, the same <01992> wheels <0212> also <01571>

turned <05437> not from beside <0681> them.

17 When they stood <05975>, [these] stood <05975>; and when

they were lifted <07311> up, [these] lifted <07426> up

themselves [also]: for the spirit <07307> of the living <02416>

creature <02416> [was] in them.

18 Then the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> departed <03318>

from off <05921> the threshold <04670> of the house <01004>, and

stood <05975> over <05921> the cherubims <03742>.

19 And the cherubims <03742> lifted <05375> up their wings

<03671>, and mounted <07426> up from the earth <0776> in my

sight <05869>: when they went <03318> out, the wheels <0212>

also [were] beside <05980> them, and [every one] stood <05975>

at the door <06607> of the east <06931> gate <08179> of the

LORD'S <03068> house <01004>; and the glory <03519> of the God

<0430> of Israel <03478> [was] over <05921> them above <04605>.

20 This <01931> [is] the living <02416> creature <02416> that I

saw <07200> under <08478> the God <0430> of Israel <03478> by

the river <05104> of Chebar <03529>; and I knew <03045> that

they [were] the cherubims <03742>.

21 Every one <0259> had four <0702> faces <06440> apiece <0259>,

and every one <0259> four <0702> wings <03671>; and the

likeness <01823> of the hands <03027> of a man <0120> [was]

under <08478> their wings <03671>.

22 And the likeness <01823> of their faces <06440> [was] the

same <01992> faces <06440> which <0834> I saw <07200> by the

river <05104> of Chebar <03529>, their appearances <04758> and

themselves <06440>: they went <03212> every <0376> one <0376>

straight <05676> forward <06440>.

Ezekiel 11

1. Moreover the spirit <07307> lifted <05375> me up, and

brought <0935> me unto the east <06931> gate <08179> of the

LORD'S <03068> house <01004>, which looketh <06437> eastward

<06921>: and behold <02009> at the door <06607> of the gate

<08179> five <02568> and twenty <06242> men <0376>; among

<08432> whom I saw <07200> Jaazaniah <02970> the son <01121> of

Azur <05809>, and Pelatiah <06410> the son <01121> of Benaiah

<01141>, princes <08269> of the people <05971>.

2 Then said <0559> he unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, these

<0428> [are] the men <0582> that devise <02803> mischief <0205>,

and give wicked <07451> counsel <06098> in this <02063> city

<05892>:

3 Which say <0559>, [It is] not near <07138>; let us build

<01129> houses <01004>: this <01931> [city is] the caldron

<05518>, and we [be] the flesh <01320>.

4 Therefore <03651> prophesy <05012> against <05921> them,

prophesy <05012>, O son <01121> of man <0120>.

5 And the Spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068> fell <05307> upon

me, and said <0559> unto me, Speak <0559>; Thus <03541> saith

<0559> the LORD <03068>; Thus <03651> have ye said <0559>, O

house <01004> of Israel <03478>: for I know <03045> the things

that come <04609> into your mind <07307>, [every one of] them.

6 Ye have multiplied <07235> your slain <02491> in this <02063>

city <05892>, and ye have filled <04390> the streets <02351>

thereof with the slain <02491>.

7 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Your slain <02491> whom <0834> ye have laid <07760>

in the midst <08432> of it, they [are] the flesh <01320>, and

this <01931> [city is] the caldron <05518>: but I will bring

<03318> you forth <03318> out of the midst <08432> of it.

8 Ye have feared <03372> the sword <02719>; and I will bring

<0935> a sword <02719> upon you, saith <05002> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>.

9 And I will bring <03318> you out of the midst <08432> thereof,

and deliver <05414> you into the hands <03027> of strangers

<02114>, and will execute <06213> judgments <08201> among you.

10 Ye shall fall <05307> by the sword <02719>; I will judge

<08199> you in the border <01366> of Israel <03478>; and ye

shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

11 This <01931> [city] shall not be your caldron <05518>,

neither shall ye be the flesh <01320> in the midst <08432>

thereof; [but] I will judge <08199> you in the border <01366> of

Israel <03478>:

12 And ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>: for

ye have not walked <01980> in my statutes <02706>, neither

<03808> executed <06213> my judgments <04941>, but have done

<06213> after the manners <04941> of the heathen <01471> that

[are] round <05439> about you.

13 And it came <01961> to pass, when I prophesied <05012>, that

Pelatiah <06410> the son <01121> of Benaiah <01141> died <04191>.

Then fell <05307> I down upon my face <06440>, and cried

<02199> with a loud <01419> voice <06963>, and said <0559>, Ah

<0162> Lord <0136> GOD <03069>! wilt thou make <06213> a full

end <03615> of the remnant <07611> of Israel <03478>?

14. Again the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961>

unto me, saying <0559>,

15 Son <01121> of man <0120>, thy brethren <0251>, [even] thy

brethren <0251>, the men <0582> of thy kindred <01353>, and all

<03605> the house <01004> of Israel <03478> wholly <03605>,

[are] they unto whom <0834> the inhabitants <03427> of Jerusalem

<03389> have said <0559>, Get you far <07368> from the LORD

<03068>: unto us is this <01931> land <0776> given <05414> in

possession <04181>.

16 Therefore <03651> say <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the

Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Although <03588> I have cast <07368>

them far <07368> off among the heathen <01471>, and although

<0272> I have scattered <06327> them among the countries <0776>,

yet will I be to them as a little <04592> sanctuary <04720> in

the countries <0776> where they shall come <0935>.

17 Therefore <03651> say <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the

Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I will even gather <06908> you from the

people <05971>, and assemble <0622> you out of the countries

<0776> where <0834> ye have been scattered <06327>, and I will

give <05414> you the land <0127> of Israel <03478>.

18 And they shall come <0935> thither <08033>, and they shall

take <05493> away <05493> all <03605> the detestable <08251>

things thereof and all <03605> the abominations <08441> thereof

from thence.

19 And I will give <05414> them one <0259> heart <03820>, and I

will put <05414> a new <02319> spirit <07307> within <07130> you;

and I will take <05493> the stony <068> heart <03820> out of

their flesh <01320>, and will give <05414> them an heart <03820>

of flesh <01320>:

20 That they may walk <03212> in my statutes <02708>, and keep

<08104> mine ordinances <04941>, and do <06213> them: and they

shall be my people <05971>, and I will be their God <0430>.

21 But [as for them] whose heart <03820> walketh <01980> after

the heart <03820> of their detestable <08251> things and their

abominations <08441>, I will recompense <05414> their way

<01870> upon their own heads <07218>, saith <05002> the Lord

<0136> GOD <03069>.

22. Then did the cherubims <03742> lift <05375> up their wings

<03671>, and the wheels <0212> beside <05980> them; and the

glory <03519> of the God <0430> of Israel <03478> [was] over

<05921> them above <04605>.

23 And the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> went <05927> up

from the midst <08432> of the city <05892>, and stood <05975>

upon the mountain <02022> which <0834> [is] on the east <06924>

side <06954> of the city <05892>.

24 Afterwards the spirit <07307> took <05375> me up, and

brought <0935> me in a vision <04758> by the Spirit <07307> of

God <0430> into Chaldea <03778>, to them of the captivity

<01473>. So the vision <04758> that I had seen <07200> went

<05927> up from me.

25 Then I spake <01696> unto them of the captivity <01473> all

<03605> the things <01697> that the LORD <03068> had shewed

<07200> me.

Ezekiel 12

1. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> also came <01961> unto

me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, thou dwellest <03427> in the midst

<08432> of a rebellious <04805> house <01004>, which <0834> have

eyes <05869> to see <07200>, and see <07200> not; they have ears

<0241> to hear <08085>, and hear <08085> not: for they [are] a

rebellious <04805> house <01004>.

3 Therefore, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, prepare <06213>

thee stuff <03627> for removing <01473>, and remove <01540> by

day <03119> in their sight <05869>; and thou shalt remove

<01540> from thy place <04725> to another <0312> place <04725>

in their sight <05869>: it may be they will consider <07200>,

though <03518> they [be] a rebellious <04805> house <01004>.

4 Then shalt thou bring <03318> forth <03318> thy stuff <03627>

by day <03119> in their sight <05869>, as stuff <03627> for

removing <01473>: and thou shalt go <03318> forth <03318> at

even <06153> in their sight <05869>, as they that go <04161>

forth <04161> into captivity <01473>.

5 Dig <02864> thou through the wall <07023> in their sight

<05869>, and carry <03318> out thereby.

6 In their sight <05869> shalt thou bear <05375> [it] upon

[thy] shoulders <03802>, [and] carry <03318> [it] forth <03318>

in the twilight <05939>: thou shalt cover <03680> thy face

<06440>, that thou see <07200> not the ground <0776>: for I have

set <05414> thee [for] a sign <04159> unto the house <01004> of

Israel <03478>.

7 And I did <06213> so <03651> as I was commanded <06680>: I

brought <03318> forth <03318> my stuff <03627> by day <03119>,

as stuff <03627> for captivity <01473>, and in the even <06153>

I digged <02864> through the wall <07023> with mine hand <03027>;

I brought <03318> [it] forth <03318> in the twilight <05939>,

[and] I bare <05375> [it] upon [my] shoulder <03802> in their

sight <05869>.

8 And in the morning <01242> came <01961> the word <01697> of

the LORD <03068> unto me, saying <0559>,

9 Son <01121> of man <0120>, hath not the house <01004> of

Israel <03478>, the rebellious <04805> house <01004>, said

<0559> unto thee, What <04100> doest <06213> thou?

10 Say <0559> thou unto them, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the

Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; This <02088> burden <04853>

[concerneth] the prince <05387> in Jerusalem <03389>, and all

<03605> the house <01004> of Israel <03478> that [are] among

<08432> them.

11 Say <0559>, I [am] your sign <04159>: like as I have done

<06213>, so <03651> shall it be done <06213> unto them: they

shall remove <05493> [and] go <03212> into captivity <07628>.

12 And the prince <05387> that [is] among <08432> them shall

bear <05375> upon [his] shoulder <03802> in the twilight <05939>,

and shall go <03318> forth <03318>: they shall dig <02864>

through the wall <07023> to carry <03318> out thereby: he shall

cover <03680> his face <06440>, that he see <07200> not the

ground <0776> with [his] eyes <05869>.

13 My net <07568> also will I spread <06566> upon him, and he

shall be taken <08610> in my snare <04686>: and I will bring

<0935> him to Babylon <0894> [to] the land <0776> of the

Chaldeans <03779>; yet shall he not see <07200> it, though he

shall die <04191> there <08033>.

14 And I will scatter <02219> toward every <03605> wind <07307>

all <03605> that [are] about <05439> him to help <05828> him,

and all <03605> his bands <0102>; and I will draw <07324> out

the sword <02719> after <0310> them.

15 And they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>,

when I shall scatter <06327> them among the nations <01471>, and

disperse <02219> them in the countries <0776>.

16 But I will leave <03498> a few <04557> men <0582> of them

from the sword <02719>, from the famine <07458>, and from the

pestilence <01698>; that they may declare <05608> all <03605>

their abominations <08441> among the heathen <01471> whither

they come <0935>; and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the

LORD <03068>.

17. Moreover the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961>

to me, saying <0559>,

18 Son <01121> of man <0120>, eat <0398> thy bread <03899> with

quaking <07494>, and drink <08354> thy water <04325> with

trembling <07269> and with carefulness <01674>;

19 And say <0559> unto the people <05971> of the land <0127>,

Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of the

inhabitants <03427> of Jerusalem <03389>, [and] of the land

<0776> of Israel <03478>; They shall eat <0398> their bread

<03899> with carefulness <01674>, and drink <08354> their water

<04325> with astonishment <08078>, that her land <0776> may be

desolate <03456> from all <04393> that is therein <04393>,

because of the violence <02555> of all <03605> them that dwell

<03427> therein.

20 And the cities <05892> that are inhabited <03427> shall be

laid waste <02717>, and the land <0776> shall be desolate

<08077>; and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

21. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto

me, saying <0559>,

22 Son <01121> of man <0120>, what <04100> [is] that proverb

<04912> [that] ye have in the land <0127> of Israel <03478>,

saying <0559>, The days <03117> are prolonged <0748>, and every

<03605> vision <02377> faileth <06>?

23 Tell <0559> them therefore <03651>, Thus <03541> saith

<0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I will make this <02088>

proverb <04912> to cease <07673>, and they shall no <03808> more

<05750> use <04912> it as a proverb <04911> in Israel <03478>;

but say <01696> unto them, The days <03117> are at <07196> hand

<07126>, and the effect <01697> of every <03605> vision <02377>.

24 For there shall be no <03808> more <05750> any vain <07723>

vision <02377> nor flattering <02509> divination <04738> within

<08432> the house <01004> of Israel <03478>.

25 For I [am] the LORD <03068>: I will speak <01696>, and the

word <01697> that I shall speak <01696> shall come <06213> to

pass <06213>; it shall be no <03808> more <05750> prolonged

<04900>: for in your days <03117>, O rebellious <04805> house

<01004>, will I say <01696> the word <01697>, and will perform

<06213> it, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

26 Again the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> to

me, saying <0559>,

27 Son <01121> of man <0120>, behold <02009>, [they of] the

house <01004> of Israel <03478> say <0559>, The vision <02377>

that he seeth <02372> [is] for many <07227> days <03117> [to

come], and he prophesieth <05012> of the times <06256> [that

are] far <07350> off.

28 Therefore <03651> say <0559> unto them, Thus <03541> saith

<0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; There shall none <03808> of

my words <01697> be prolonged <04900> any <03605> more <05750>,

but the word <01697> which <0834> I have spoken <01696> shall be

done <06213>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 13

1. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto

me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, prophesy <05012> against <0413>

the prophets <05030> of Israel <03478> that prophesy <05012>,

and say <0559> thou unto them that prophesy <05012> out of their

own hearts <03820>, Hear <08085> ye the word <01697> of the LORD

<03068>;

3 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Woe

<01945> unto the foolish <05036> prophets <05030>, that follow

their own spirit <07307>, and have seen <07200> nothing <01115>!

4 O Israel <03478>, thy prophets <05030> are like the foxes

<07776> in the deserts <02723>.

5 Ye have not gone <05927> up into the gaps <06556>, neither

made <01443> up the hedge <01447> for the house <01004> of

Israel <03478> to stand <05975> in the battle <04421> in the day

<03117> of the LORD <03068>.

6 They have seen <02372> vanity <07723> and lying <03577>

divination <07081>, saying <0559>, The LORD <03068> saith

<05002>: and the LORD <03068> hath not sent <07971> them: and

they have made [others] to hope <03176> that they would confirm

<06965> the word <01697>.

7 Have ye not seen <02372> a vain <07723> vision <04236>, and

have ye not spoken <01696> a lying <03577> divination <04738>,

whereas ye say <0559>, The LORD <03068> saith <05002> [it];

albeit I have not spoken <0559>?

8 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Because <03282> ye have spoken <01696> vanity

<07723>, and seen <02372> lies <03576>, therefore <03651>,

behold <02005>, I [am] against <0413> you, saith <05002> the

Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

9 And mine hand <03027> shall be upon the prophets <05030> that

see <02374> vanity <07723>, and that divine <07080> lies <03576>:

they shall not be in the assembly <05475> of my people <05971>,

neither <03808> shall they be written <03789> in the writing

<03791> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, neither <03808>

shall they enter <0935> into the land <0127> of Israel <03478>;

and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>.

10. Because <03282>, even because <03282> they have seduced

<02937> my people <05971>, saying <0559>, Peace <07965>; and

[there was] no <0369> peace <07965>; and one built <01129> up a

wall <02434>, and, lo <02009>, others daubed <02902> it with

untempered <08602> [morter]:

11 Say <0559> unto them which daub <02902> [it] with untempered

<08602> [morter], that it shall fall <05307>: there shall be an

overflowing <07857> shower <01653>; and ye, O great <0417>

hailstones, shall fall <05307>; and a stormy <05591> wind

<07307> shall rend <01234> [it].

12 Lo <02009>, when the wall <07023> is fallen <05307>, shall

it not be said <0559> unto you, Where <0346> [is] the daubing

<02915> wherewith <0834> ye have daubed <02902> [it]?

13 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; I will even rend <01234> [it] with a stormy <05591>

wind <07307> in my fury <02534>; and there shall be an

overflowing <07857> shower <01653> in mine anger <0639>, and

great <0417> hailstones in [my] fury <02534> to consume <03615>

[it].

14 So will I break <02040> down <02040> the wall <07023> that

ye have daubed <02902> with untempered <08602> [morter], and

bring <05060> it down to the ground <0776>, so that the

foundation <03247> thereof shall be discovered <01540>, and it

shall fall <05307>, and ye shall be consumed <03615> in the

midst <08432> thereof: and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the

LORD <03068>.

15 Thus will I accomplish <03615> my wrath <02534> upon the

wall <07023>, and upon them that have daubed <02902> it with

untempered <08602> [morter], and will say <0559> unto you, The

wall <07023> [is] no <0369> [more], neither <0369> they that

daubed <02902> it;

16 [To wit], the prophets <05030> of Israel <03478> which

prophesy <05012> concerning <0413> Jerusalem <03389>, and which

see <02374> visions <02377> of peace <07965> for her, and [there

is] no <0369> peace <07965>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>.

17. Likewise, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, set <07760> thy

face <06440> against <0413> the daughters <01121> of thy people

<05971>, which prophesy <05012> out of their own heart <03820>;

and prophesy <05012> thou against <05921> them,

18 And say <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Woe <01945> to the [women] that sew <08609> pillows

<03704> to all <03605> armholes, and make <06213> kerchiefs

<04556> upon the head <07218> of every <03605> stature <06967>

to hunt <06679> souls <05315>! Will ye hunt <06679> the souls

<05315> of my people <05971>, and will ye save <02421> the souls

<05315> alive <02421> [that come] unto you?

19 And will ye pollute <02490> me among <0413> my people

<05971> for handfuls <08168> of barley <08184> and for pieces

<06595> of bread <03899>, to slay <04191> the souls <05315> that

should not die <04191>, and to save <02421> the souls <05315>

alive <02421> that should not live <02421>, by your lying

<03576> to my people <05971> that hear <08085> [your] lies

<03576>?

20 Wherefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I [am] against <0413> your pillows

<03704>, wherewith <0834> ye there <08033> hunt <06679> the

souls <05315> to make [them] fly <06524>, and I will tear

<07167> them from your arms <02220>, and will let the souls

<05315> go <07971>, [even] the souls <05315> that ye hunt

<06679> to make [them] fly <06524>.

21 Your kerchiefs <04556> also will I tear <07167>, and deliver

<05337> my people <05971> out of your hand <03027>, and they

shall be no <03808> more <05750> in your hand <03027> to be

hunted <04686>; and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD

<03068>.

22 Because <03282> with lies <03576> ye have made the heart

<03820> of the righteous <06662> sad <03512>, whom I have not

made sad <03510>; and strengthened <02388> the hands <03027> of

the wicked <07451>, that he should not return <07725> from his

wicked <07563> way <01870>, by promising <02421> him life

<02421>:

23 Therefore <03651> ye shall see <02372> no <03808> more

<05750> vanity <07723>, nor <03808> divine <07181> divinations

<07081>: for I will deliver <05337> my people <05971> out of

your hand <03027>: and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the

LORD <03068>.

Ezekiel 14

1. Then came <0935> certain <0582> of the elders <02205> of

Israel <03478> unto me, and sat <03427> before <06440> me.

2 And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me,

saying <0559>,

3 Son <01121> of man <0120>, these <0428> men <0582> have set

<05927> up their idols <01544> in their heart <03820>, and put

<05414> the stumblingblock <04383> of their iniquity <05771>

before <05227> their face <06440>: should I be enquired <01875>

of at all by them?

4 Therefore <03651> speak <01696> unto them, and say <0559>

unto them, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;

Every man <0376> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478> that

setteth <05927> up his idols <01544> in his heart <03820>, and

putteth <07760> the stumblingblock <04383> of his iniquity

<05771> before <05227> his face <06440>, and cometh <0935> to

the prophet <05030>; I the LORD <03068> will answer <06030> him

that cometh <0935> according to the multitude <07230> of his

idols <01544>;

5 That I may take <08610> the house <01004> of Israel <03478>

in their own heart <03820>, because <0834> they are all <03605>

estranged <02114> from me through their idols <01544>.

6 Therefore <03651> say <0559> unto the house <01004> of Israel

<03478>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;

Repent <07725>, and turn <07725> [yourselves] from your idols

<01544>; and turn <07725> away your faces <06440> from all

<03605> your abominations <08441>.

7 For every <0376> one <0376> of the house <01004> of Israel

<03478>, or of the stranger <01616> that sojourneth <01481> in

Israel <03478>, which separateth <05144> himself from me, and

setteth <05927> up his idols <01544> in his heart <03820>, and

putteth <07760> the stumblingblock <04383> of his iniquity

<05771> before <05227> his face <06440>, and cometh <0935> to a

prophet <05030> to enquire <01875> of him concerning me; I the

LORD <03068> will answer <06030> him by myself:

8 And I will set <05414> my face <06440> against that man

<0376>, and will make <08074> him a sign <0226> and a proverb

<04912>, and I will cut <03772> him off from the midst <08432>

of my people <05971>; and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the

LORD <03068>.

9 And if <03588> the prophet <05030> be deceived <06601> when

<03588> he hath spoken <01696> a thing <01697>, I the LORD

<03068> have deceived <06601> that prophet <05030>, and I will

stretch <05186> out my hand <03027> upon him, and will destroy

<08045> him from the midst <08432> of my people <05971> Israel

<03478>.

10 And they shall bear <05375> the punishment <05771> of their

iniquity <05771>: the punishment <05771> of the prophet <05030>

shall be even as the punishment <05771> of him that seeketh

<01875> [unto him];

11 That the house <01004> of Israel <03478> may go <08582> no

<03808> more <05750> astray <08582> from me, neither <03808> be

polluted <02930> any <03605> more <05750> with all <03605> their

transgressions <06588>; but that they may be my people <05971>,

and I may be their God <0430>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>.

12. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> again to

me, saying <0559>,

13 Son <01121> of man <0120>, when <03588> the land <0776>

sinneth <02398> against me by trespassing <04603> grievously

<04604>, then will I stretch <05186> out mine hand <03027> upon

it, and will break <07665> the staff <04294> of the bread

<03899> thereof, and will send <07971> famine <07458> upon it,

and will cut <03772> off man <0120> and beast <0929> from it:

14 Though these <0428> three <07969> men <0582>, Noah <05146>,

Daniel <01840>, and Job <0347>, were in it, they should deliver

<05337> [but] their own souls <05315> by their righteousness

<06666>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

15 If <03863> I cause noisome <07451> beasts <02416> to pass

<05674> through the land <0776>, and they spoil <07921> it, so

that it be desolate <08077>, that no <01097> man may pass

<05674> through because <06440> of the beasts <02416>:

16 [Though] these <0428> three <07969> men <0582> [were] in it,

[as] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>,

they shall deliver <05337> neither <0518> sons <01121> nor

<0508> daughters <01121>; they only <0905> shall be delivered

<05337>, but the land <0776> shall be desolate <08077>.

17 Or <0176> [if] I bring <0935> a sword <02719> upon that land

<0776>, and say <0559>, Sword <02719>, go <05674> through the

land <0776>; so that I cut <03772> off man <0120> and beast

<0929> from it:

18 Though these <0428> three <07969> men <0582> [were] in it,

[as] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>,

they shall deliver <05337> neither <03808> sons <01121> nor

daughters <01121>, but they only <0905> shall be delivered

<05337> themselves.

19 Or <0176> [if] I send <07971> a pestilence <01698> into

<0413> that land <0776>, and pour <08210> out my fury <02534>

upon it in blood <01818>, to cut <03772> off from it man <0120>

and beast <0929>:

20 Though Noah <05146>, Daniel <01840>, and Job <0347>, [were]

in it, [as] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>, they shall deliver <05337> neither <0518> son <01121>

nor <0518> daughter <01323>; they shall [but] deliver <05337>

their own souls <05315> by their righteousness <06666>.

21 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;

How <0637> much <0637> more <05750> when <03588> I send <07971>

my four <0702> sore <07451> judgments <08201> upon Jerusalem

<03389>, the sword <02719>, and the famine <07458>, and the

noisome <07451> beast <02416>, and the pestilence <01698>, to

cut <03772> off from it man <0120> and beast <0929>?

22 Yet, behold <02009>, therein shall be left <03498> a remnant

<06413> that shall be brought <03318> forth <04163>, [both] sons

<01121> and daughters <01121>: behold <02009>, they shall come

<03318> forth <03318> unto you, and ye shall see <07200> their

way <01870> and their doings <05949>: and ye shall be comforted

<05162> concerning <05921> the evil <07451> that I have brought

<0935> upon Jerusalem <03389>, [even] concerning <0854> all

<03605> that I have brought <0935> upon it.

23 And they shall comfort <05162> you, when ye see <07200>

their ways <01870> and their doings <05949>: and ye shall know

<03045> that I have not done <06213> without <02600> cause

<02600> all <03605> that I have done <06213> in it, saith

<05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 15

1. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto

me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, What <04100> is the vine <01612>

tree <06086> more than any tree <06086>, [or than] a branch

<02156> which <0834> is among the trees <06086> of the forest

<03293>?

3 Shall wood <06086> be taken <03947> thereof to do <06213> any

work <04399>? or will [men] take <03947> a pin <03489> of it to

hang <08518> any <03605> vessel <03627> thereon <05921>?

4 Behold <02009>, it is cast <05414> into the fire <0784> for

fuel <0402>; the fire <0784> devoureth <0398> both <08147> the

ends <07098> of it, and the midst <08432> of it is burned

<02787>. Is it meet <06743> for [any] work <04399>?

5 Behold <02009>, when it was whole <08549>, it was meet

<06213> for no <03808> work <04399>: how <0637> much <07227>

less shall it be meet <06213> yet for [any] work <04399>, when

<03588> the fire <0784> hath devoured <0398> it, and it is

burned <02787>?

6 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; As the vine <01612> tree <06086> among the trees

<06086> of the forest <03293>, which <0834> I have given <05414>

to the fire <0784> for fuel <0402>, so <03651> will I give

<05414> the inhabitants <03427> of Jerusalem <03389>.

7 And I will set <05414> my face <06440> against them; they

shall go <03318> out from [one] fire <0784>, and [another] fire

<0784> shall devour <0398> them; and ye shall know <03045> that

I [am] the LORD <03068>, when I set <07760> my face <06440>

against them.

8 And I will make <05414> the land <0776> desolate <08077>,

because <03282> they have committed <04600> a trespass <04604>,

saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 16

1. Again the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto

me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, cause Jerusalem <03389> to know

<03045> her abominations <08441>,

3 And say <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069> unto Jerusalem <03389>; Thy birth <04351> and thy

nativity <04138> [is] of the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>; thy

father <01> [was] an Amorite <0567>, and thy mother <0517> an

Hittite <02850>.

4 And [as for] thy nativity <04138>, in the day <03117> thou

wast born <03205> thy navel <08270> was not cut <03772>, neither

<03808> wast thou washed <07364> in water <04325> to supple

<04935> [thee]; thou wast not salted <04414> at all, nor <03808>

swaddled <02853> at all.

5 None <03808> eye <05869> pitied <02347> thee, to do <06213>

any <0259> of these <0428> unto thee, to have compassion <02550>

upon thee; but thou wast cast <07993> out in the open <06440>

field <07704>, to the lothing <01604> of thy person <05315>, in

the day <03117> that thou wast born <03205>.

6. And when I passed <05674> by thee, and saw <07200> thee

polluted <0947> in thine own blood <01818>, I said <0559> unto

thee [when thou wast] in thy blood <01818>, Live <02421>; yea, I

said <0559> unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood <01818>,

Live <02421>.

7 I have caused <05414> thee to multiply <07233> as the bud

<06779> of the field <07704>, and thou hast increased <07235>

and waxen great <01431>, and thou art come <0935> to excellent

<05716> ornaments <05716>: [thy] breasts <07699> are fashioned

<03559>, and thine hair <08181> is grown <06779>, whereas thou

[wast] naked <05903> and bare <06181>.

8 Now when I passed <05674> by thee, and looked <07200> upon

thee, behold <02009>, thy time <06256> [was] the time <06256> of

love <01730>; and I spread <06566> my skirt <03671> over <05921>

thee, and covered <03680> thy nakedness <06172>: yea, I sware

<07650> unto thee, and entered <0935> into a covenant <01285>

with thee, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, and thou

becamest <01961> mine.

9 Then washed <07364> I thee with water <04325>; yea, I

throughly washed <07857> away thy blood <01818> from thee, and I

anointed <05480> thee with oil <08081>.

10 I clothed <03847> thee also with broidered <07553> work

<07553>, and shod <05274> thee with badgers <08476>' skin, and I

girded <02280> thee about with fine linen <08336>, and I covered

<03680> thee with silk <04897>.

11 I decked <05710> thee also with ornaments <05716>, and I put

<05414> bracelets <06781> upon thy hands <03027>, and a chain

<07242> on <05921> thy neck <01627>.

12 And I put <05414> a jewel <05141> on <05921> thy forehead

<0639>, and earrings <05694> in thine ears <0241>, and a

beautiful <08597> crown <05850> upon thine head <07218>.

13 Thus wast thou decked <05710> with gold <02091> and silver

<03701>; and thy raiment <04403> [was of] fine linen <08336>,

and silk <04897>, and broidered <07553> work <07553>; thou didst

eat <0398> fine flour <05560>, and honey <01706>, and oil

<08081>: and thou wast exceeding <03966> beautiful <03303>, and

thou didst prosper <06743> into a kingdom <04410>.

14 And thy renown <08034> went <03318> forth <03318> among the

heathen <01471> for thy beauty <03308>: for it [was] perfect

<03632> through my comeliness <01926>, which <0834> I had put

<07760> upon thee, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

15. But thou didst trust <0982> in thine own beauty <03308>,

and playedst the harlot <02181> because <05921> of thy renown

<08034>, and pouredst <08210> out thy fornications <08457> on

every <03605> one that passed <05674> by; his it was.

16 And of thy garments <0899> thou didst take <03947>, and

deckedst <06213> thy high <01116> places with divers <02921>

colours <02921>, and playedst the harlot <02181> thereupon: [the

like things] shall not come <0935>, neither <03808> shall it be

[so].

17 Thou hast also taken <03947> thy fair <08597> jewels <03627>

of my gold <02091> and of my silver <03701>, which <0834> I had

given <05414> thee, and madest <06213> to thyself images <06754>

of men <02145>, and didst commit <02181> whoredom <02181> with

them,

18 And tookest <03947> thy broidered <07553> garments <0899>,

and coveredst them: and thou hast set <05414> mine oil <08081>

and mine incense <07004> before <06440> them.

19 My meat <03899> also which <0834> I gave <05414> thee, fine

flour <05560>, and oil <08081>, and honey <01706>, [wherewith] I

fed <0398> thee, thou hast even set <05414> it before <06440>

them for a sweet <05207> savour <07381>: and [thus] it was,

saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

20 Moreover thou hast taken <03947> thy sons <01121> and thy

daughters <01121>, whom <0834> thou hast borne <03205> unto me,

and these hast thou sacrificed <02076> unto them to be devoured

<0398>. [Is this] of thy whoredoms <08457> a small <04592>

matter,

21 That thou hast slain <07819> my children <01121>, and

delivered <05414> them to cause them to pass <05674> through

[the fire] for them?

22 And in all <03605> thine abominations <08441> and thy

whoredoms <08457> thou hast not remembered <02142> the days

<03117> of thy youth <05271>, when thou wast <01961> naked

<05903> and bare <06181>, [and] wast <01961> polluted <0947> in

thy blood <01818>.

23 And it came <01961> to pass after <0310> all <03605> thy

wickedness <07451>, (woe, woe <0188> unto thee! saith <05002>

the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;)

24 [That] thou hast also built <01129> unto thee an eminent

<01354> place, and hast made <06213> thee an high <07413> place

in every <03605> street <07339>.

25 Thou hast built <01129> thy high <07413> place at <0413>

every <03605> head <07218> of the way <01870>, and hast made thy

beauty <03308> to be abhorred <08581>, and hast opened <06589>

thy feet <07272> to every <03605> one that passed <05674> by,

and multiplied <07235> thy whoredoms <08457>.

26 Thou hast also committed <02181> fornication <02181> with

the Egyptians <04714> thy neighbours <07934>, great <01432> of

flesh <01320>; and hast increased <07235> thy whoredoms <08457>,

to provoke me to anger <03707>.

27 Behold <02009>, therefore I have stretched <05186> out my

hand <03027> over <05921> thee, and have diminished <01639>

thine ordinary <02706> [food], and delivered <05414> thee unto

the will <05314> of them that hate <08130> thee, the daughters

<01121> of the Philistines <06430>, which are ashamed <03637> of

thy lewd <02154> way <01870>.

28 Thou hast played the whore <02181> also with the Assyrians

<0804>, because <01115> thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast

played the harlot <02181> with them, and yet couldest not be

satisfied <07646>.

29 Thou hast moreover multiplied <07235> thy fornication

<08457> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667> unto Chaldea

<03778>; and yet <01571> thou wast not satisfied <07646>

herewith.

30 How <04100> weak <0535> is thine heart <03826>, saith

<05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, seeing thou doest <06213>

all <03605> these <0428> [things], the work <04639> of an

imperious <07986> whorish <02181> woman <0802>;

31 In that thou buildest <01129> thine eminent <01354> place in

the head <07218> of every <03605> way <01870>, and makest

<06213> thine high <07413> place in every <03605> street <07339>;

and hast not been <01961> as an harlot <02181>, in that thou

scornest <07046> hire <0868>;

32 [But as] a wife <0802> that committeth <05003> adultery

<05003>, [which] taketh <03947> strangers <02114> instead

<08478> of her husband <0376>!

33 They give <05414> gifts <05078> to all <03605> whores

<02181>: but thou givest <05414> thy gifts <05083> to all

<03605> thy lovers <0157>, and hirest <07806> them, that they

may come <0935> unto thee on every <05437> side <05439> for thy

whoredom <08457>.

34 And the contrary <02016> is in thee from [other] women

<0802> in thy whoredoms <08457>, whereas none <03808> followeth

<0310> thee to commit <02181> whoredoms <02181>: and in that

thou givest <05414> a reward <0868>, and no <03808> reward

<0868> is given <05414> unto thee, therefore thou art contrary

<02016>.

35. Wherefore <03651>, O harlot <02181>, hear <08085> the word

<01697> of the LORD <03068>:

36 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;

Because <03282> thy filthiness <05178> was poured <08210> out,

and thy nakedness <06172> discovered <01540> through thy

whoredoms <08457> with thy lovers <0157>, and with all <03605>

the idols <01544> of thy abominations <08441>, and by the blood

<01818> of thy children <01121>, which <0834> thou didst give

<05414> unto them;

37 Behold <02005>, therefore <03651> I will gather <06908> all

<03605> thy lovers <0157>, with whom <0834> thou hast taken

pleasure <06148>, and all <03605> [them] that thou hast loved

<0157>, with all <03605> [them] that thou hast hated <08130>; I

will even gather <06908> them round <05439> about against

<05921> thee, and will discover <01540> thy nakedness <06172>

unto them, that they may see <07200> all <03605> thy nakedness

<06172>.

38 And I will judge <08199> thee, as women that break <05003>

wedlock <05003> and shed <08210> blood <01818> are judged

<04941>; and I will give <05414> thee blood <01818> in fury

<02534> and jealousy <07068>.

39 And I will also give <05414> thee into their hand <03027>,

and they shall throw <02040> down <02040> thine eminent <01354>

place, and shall break <05422> down <05422> thy high <07413>

places: they shall strip <06584> thee also of thy clothes <0899>,

and shall take <03947> thy fair <08597> jewels <03627>, and

leave <03241> thee naked <05903> and bare <06181>.

40 They shall also bring <05927> up a company <06951> against

<05921> thee, and they shall stone <07275> thee with stones

<068>, and thrust <01333> thee through with their swords <02719>.

41 And they shall burn <08313> thine houses <01004> with fire

<0784>, and execute <06213> judgments <08201> upon thee in the

sight <05869> of many <07227> women <0802>: and I will cause

thee to cease <07673> from playing the harlot <02181>, and thou

also <01571> shalt give <05414> no <03808> hire <0868> any more

<05750>.

42 So will I make my fury <02534> toward thee to rest <05117>,

and my jealousy <07068> shall depart <05493> from thee, and I

will be quiet <08252>, and will be no <03808> more <05750> angry

<03707>.

43 Because thou hast not remembered <02142> the days <03117> of

thy youth <05271>, but hast fretted <07264> me in all <03605>

these <0428> [things]; behold <01887>, therefore I also <01571>

will recompense <05414> thy way <01870> upon [thine] head

<07218>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>: and thou

shalt not commit <06213> this lewdness <02154> above <05921> all

<03605> thine abominations <08441>.

44. Behold <02009>, every <03605> one that useth proverbs

<04911> shall use <04911> [this] proverb <04911> against <05921>

thee, saying <0559>, As [is] the mother <0517>, [so is] her

daughter <01323>.

45 Thou [art] thy mother's <0517> daughter <01323>, that

lotheth <01602> her husband <0376> and her children <01121>; and

thou [art] the sister <0269> of thy sisters <0269>, which <0834>

lothed <01602> their husbands <0582> and their children <01121>:

your mother <0517> [was] an Hittite <02850>, and your father

<01> an Amorite <0567>.

46 And thine elder <01419> sister <0269> [is] Samaria <08111>,

she and her daughters <01121> that dwell <03427> at <05921> thy

left <08040> hand <08040>: and thy younger <06996> sister <0269>,

that dwelleth <03427> at thy right <03225> hand <03225>, [is]

Sodom <05467> and her daughters <01121>.

47 Yet hast thou not walked <01980> after their ways <01870>,

nor done <06213> after their abominations <08441>: but, as [if

that were] a very <06985> little <04592> [thing], thou wast

corrupted <07843> more than they in all <03605> thy ways <01870>.

48 [As] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>, Sodom <05467> thy sister <0269> hath not done <06213>,

she nor her daughters <01121>, as thou hast done <06213>, thou

and thy daughters <01121>.

49 Behold <02009>, this <02088> was the iniquity <05771> of thy

sister <0269> Sodom <05467>, pride <01347>, fulness <07653> of

bread <03899>, and abundance <07962> of idleness <08252> was in

her and in her daughters <01121>, neither <03808> did she

strengthen <02388> the hand <03027> of the poor <06041> and

needy <034>.

50 And they were haughty <01361>, and committed <06213>

abomination <08441> before <06440> me: therefore I took <05493>

them away <05493> as I saw <07200> [good].

51 Neither <03808> hath Samaria <08111> committed <02398> half

<02677> of thy sins <02403>; but thou hast multiplied <07235>

thine abominations <08441> more than they, and hast justified

<06663> thy sisters <0269> in all <03605> thine abominations

<08441> which <0834> thou hast done <06213>.

52 Thou also <01571>, which <0834> hast judged <06419> thy

sisters <0269>, bear <05375> thine own shame <03639> for thy

sins <02403> that thou hast committed <08581> more abominable

<08581> than they: they are more righteous <06663> than thou:

yea <01571>, be thou confounded <0954> also <01571>, and bear

<05375> thy shame <03639>, in that thou hast justified <06663>

thy sisters <0269>.

53 When I shall bring <07725> again <07725> their captivity

<07622>, the captivity <07622> of Sodom <05467> and her

daughters <01121>, and the captivity <07622> of Samaria <08111>

and her daughters <01121>, then [will I bring again] the

captivity <07622> of thy captives <07628> in the midst <08432>

of them:

54 That thou mayest bear <05375> thine own shame <03639>, and

mayest be confounded <03637> in all <03605> that thou hast done

<06213>, in that thou art a comfort <05162> unto them.

55 When thy sisters <0269>, Sodom <05467> and her daughters

<01121>, shall return <07725> to their former <06927> estate,

and Samaria <08111> and her daughters <01121> shall return

<07725> to their former <06927> estate <03653>, then thou and

thy daughters <01121> shall return <07725> to your former

<06927> estate.

56 For thy sister <0269> Sodom <05467> was not mentioned

<08052> by thy mouth <06310> in the day <03117> of thy pride

<01347>,

57 Before <02962> thy wickedness <07451> was discovered <01540>,

as at the time <06256> of [thy] reproach <02781> of the

daughters <01121> of Syria <0758>, and all <03605> [that are]

round <05439> about her, the daughters <01121> of the

Philistines <06430>, which despise <07590> thee round <05439>

about.

58 Thou hast borne <05375> thy lewdness <02154> and thine

abominations <08441>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>.

59 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I

will even deal <06213> with thee as thou hast done <06213>,

which <0834> hast despised <0959> the oath <0423> in breaking

<06565> the covenant <01285>.

60. Nevertheless I will remember <02142> my covenant <01285>

with thee in the days <03117> of thy youth <05271>, and I will

establish <06965> unto thee an everlasting <05769> covenant

<01285>.

61 Then thou shalt remember <02142> thy ways <01870>, and be

ashamed <03637>, when thou shalt receive <03947> thy sisters

<0269>, thine elder <01419> and thy younger <06996>: and I will

give <05414> them unto thee for daughters <01121>, but not by

thy covenant <01285>.

62 And I will establish <06965> my covenant <01285> with thee;

and thou shalt know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>:

63 That thou mayest remember <02142>, and be confounded <0954>,

and never <03808> open <06610> thy mouth <06310> any more

<05750> because <06440> of thy shame <03639>, when I am pacified

<03722> toward thee for all <03605> that thou hast done <06213>,

saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 17

1. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto

me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, put <02330> forth <02330> a riddle

<02420>, and speak <04911> a parable <04912> unto the house

<01004> of Israel <03478>;

3 And say <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>; A great <01419> eagle <05404> with great <01419> wings

<03671>, longwinged, full <04392> of feathers <05133>, which

<0834> had divers <07553> colours <07553>, came <0935> unto

Lebanon <03844>, and took <03947> the highest <06788> branch

<06788> of the cedar <0730>:

4 He cropped <06998> off the top <07218> of his young <03242>

twigs <03242>, and carried <0935> it into a land <0776> of

traffick <03667>; he set <07760> it in a city <05892> of

merchants <07402>.

5 He took <03947> also of the seed <02233> of the land <0776>,

and planted it in a fruitful <02233> field <07704>; he placed

<03947> [it] by great <07227> waters <04325>, [and] set <07760>

it [as] a willow <06851> tree.

6 And it grew <06779>, and became <01961> a spreading <05627>

vine <01612> of low <08217> stature <06967>, whose branches

<01808> turned <06437> toward <0413> him, and the roots <08328>

thereof were under <08478> him: so it became <01961> a vine

<01612>, and brought <05375> forth <06213> branches <0905>, and

shot <07971> forth sprigs <06288>.

7 There was also another <0259> great <01419> eagle <05404>

with great <01419> wings <03671> and many <07227> feathers

<05133>: and, behold <02009>, this <02063> vine <01612> did bend

<03719> her roots <08328> toward <05921> him, and shot <07971>

forth her branches <01808> toward <05921> him, that he might

water <08248> it by the furrows <06170> of her plantation

<04302>.

8 It was planted <08362> in a good <02896> soil <07704> by

great <07227> waters <04325>, that it might bring <06213> forth

<06213> branches <06057>, and that it might bear <05375> fruit

<06529>, that it might be a goodly <0155> vine <01612>.

9 Say <0559> thou, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Shall it prosper <06743>? shall he not pull <05423>

up the roots <08328> thereof, and cut <07082> off the fruit

<06529> thereof, that it wither <03001>? it shall wither <03001>

in all <03605> the leaves <02964> of her spring <06780>, even

without <03808> great <01419> power <02220> or many <07227>

people <05971> to pluck <05375> it up by the roots <08328>

thereof.

10 Yea, behold <02009>, [being] planted <08362>, shall it

prosper <06743>? shall it not utterly wither <03001>, when the

east <06921> wind <07307> toucheth <05060> it? it shall wither

<03001> in the furrows <06170> where <05921> it grew <06780>.

11 Moreover the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961>

unto me, saying <0559>,

12 Say <0559> now <04994> to the rebellious <04805> house

<01004>, Know <03045> ye not what <04100> these <0428> [things

mean]? tell <0559> [them], Behold <02009>, the king <04428> of

Babylon <0894> is come <0935> to Jerusalem <03389>, and hath

taken <03947> the king <04428> thereof, and the princes <08269>

thereof, and led <0935> them with him to Babylon <0894>;

13 And hath taken <03947> of the king's <04410> seed <02233>,

and made <03772> a covenant <01285> with him, and hath taken

<0935> an oath <0423> of him: he hath also taken <03947> the

mighty <0352> of the land <0776>:

14 That the kingdom <04467> might be base <08217>, that it

might not lift <05375> itself up, [but] that by keeping <08104>

of his covenant <01285> it might stand <05975>.

15 But he rebelled <04775> against him in sending <07971> his

ambassadors <04397> into Egypt <04714>, that they might give

<05414> him horses <05483> and much <07227> people <05971>.

Shall he prosper <06743>? shall he escape <04422> that doeth

<06213> such <0428> [things]? or shall he break <06565> the

covenant <01285>, and be delivered <04422>?

16 [As] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>, surely in the place <04725> [where] the king <04428>

[dwelleth] that made him king <04427>, whose oath <0423> he

despised <0959>, and whose <0853> covenant <01285> he brake

<06565>, [even] with him in the midst <08432> of Babylon <0894>

he shall die <04191>.

17 Neither <03808> shall Pharaoh <06547> with [his] mighty

<01419> army <02428> and great <07227> company <06951> make

<06213> for him in the war <04421>, by casting <08210> up mounts

<05550>, and building <01129> forts <01785>, to cut <03772> off

many <07227> persons <05315>:

18 Seeing he despised <0959> the oath <0423> by breaking

<06565> the covenant <01285>, when, lo <02009>, he had given

<05414> his hand <03027>, and hath done <06213> all <03605>

these <0428> [things], he shall not escape <04422>.

19 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; [As] I live <02416>, surely mine oath <0423> that

he hath despised <0959>, and my covenant <01285> that he hath

broken <06331>, even it will I recompense <05414> upon his own

head <07218>.

20 And I will spread <06566> my net <07568> upon him, and he

shall be taken <08610> in my snare <04686>, and I will bring

<0935> him to Babylon <0894>, and will plead <08199> with him

there <08033> for his trespass <04604> that he hath trespassed

<04604> against me.

21 And all <03605> his fugitives <04015> with all <03605> his

bands <0102> shall fall <05307> by the sword <02719>, and they

that remain <07604> shall be scattered <06566> toward all

<03605> winds <07307>: and ye shall know <03045> that I the LORD

<03068> have spoken <01696> [it].

22. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I

will also take <03947> of the highest <06788> branch <06788> of

the high <07311> cedar <0730>, and will set <05414> [it]; I will

crop <06998> off from the top <07218> of his young <03127> twigs

<03127> a tender <07390> one, and will plant <08362> [it] upon

an high <01364> mountain <02022> and eminent <08524>:

23 In the mountain <02022> of the height <04791> of Israel

<03478> will I plant <08362> it: and it shall bring <05375>

forth <05375> boughs <06057>, and bear <06213> fruit <06529>,

and be a goodly <0117> cedar <0730>: and under <08478> it shall

dwell <07931> all <03605> fowl <06833> of every <03605> wing

<03671>; in the shadow <06738> of the branches <01808> thereof

shall they dwell <07931>.

24 And all <03605> the trees <06086> of the field <07704> shall

know <03045> that I the LORD <03068> have brought <08213> down

<08213> the high <01364> tree <06086>, have exalted <01361> the

low <08217> tree <06086>, have dried <03001> up the green

<03892> tree <06086>, and have made the dry <03002> tree <06086>

to flourish <06524>: I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> and

have done <06213> [it].

Ezekiel 18

1. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me

again, saying <0559>,

2 What <04100> mean ye, that ye use <04911> this <02088>

proverb <04911> concerning <05921> the land <0127> of Israel

<03478>, saying <0559>, The fathers <01> have eaten <0398> sour

<01155> grapes <01154>, and the children's <01121> teeth <08127>

are set on edge <06949>?

3 [As] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>, ye shall not have [occasion] any more <05750> to use

<04911> this <02088> proverb <04911> in Israel <03478>.

4 Behold <02005>, all <03605> souls <05315> are mine; as the

soul <05315> of the father <01>, so also the soul <05315> of the

son <01121> is mine: the soul <05315> that sinneth <02398>, it

shall die <04191>.

5 But if <03588> a man <0376> be just <06662>, and do <06213>

that which is lawful <04941> and right <06666>,

6 [And] hath not eaten <0398> upon the mountains <02022>,

neither <03808> hath lifted <05375> up his eyes <05869> to the

idols <01544> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, neither

<03808> hath defiled <02930> his neighbour's <07453> wife <0802>,

neither <03808> hath come <07126> near <07126> to a menstruous

<05079> woman <0802>,

7 And hath not oppressed <03238> any <0376>, [but] hath

restored <07725> to the debtor <02326> his pledge <02258>, hath

spoiled <01497> none <03808> by violence <01500>, hath given

<05414> his bread <03899> to the hungry <07456>, and hath

covered <03680> the naked <05903> with a garment <0899>;

8 He [that] hath not given <05414> forth upon usury <05392>,

neither <03808> hath taken <03947> any increase <08635>, [that]

hath withdrawn <07725> his hand <03027> from iniquity <05766>,

hath executed <06213> true <0571> judgment <04941> between

<0996> man <0376> and man <0376>,

9 Hath walked <01980> in my statutes <02708>, and hath kept

<08104> my judgments <04941>, to deal <06213> truly <0571>; he

[is] just <06662>, he shall surely live <02421>, saith <05002>

the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

10. If he beget <03205> a son <01121> [that is] a robber

<06530>, a shedder <08210> of blood <01818>, and [that] doeth

<06213> the like <0251> to [any] one <0259> of these <0428>

[things],

11 And that doeth <06213> not any <03605> of those <0428>

[duties], but even <01571> hath eaten <0398> upon the mountains

<02022>, and defiled <02930> his neighbour's <07453> wife <0802>,

12 Hath oppressed <03238> the poor <06041> and needy <034>,

hath spoiled <01497> by violence <01500>, hath not restored

<07725> the pledge <02258>, and hath lifted <05375> up his eyes

<05869> to the idols <01544>, hath committed <06213> abomination

<08441>,

13 Hath given <05414> forth upon usury <05392>, and hath taken

<03947> increase <08635>: shall he then live <02425>? he shall

not live <02421>: he hath done <06213> all <03605> these <0428>

abominations <08441>; he shall surely die <04191>; his blood

<01818> shall be upon him.

14 Now, lo <02009>, [if] he beget <03205> a son <01121>, that

seeth <07200> all <03605> his father's <01> sins <02403> which

<0834> he hath done <06213>, and considereth <07200>, and doeth

<06213> not such <02007> like,

15 [That] hath not eaten <0398> upon the mountains <02022>,

neither <03808> hath lifted <05375> up his eyes <05869> to the

idols <01544> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, hath not

defiled <02930> his neighbour's <07453> wife <0802>,

16 Neither <03808> hath oppressed <03238> any <0376>, hath not

withholden <02254> the pledge <02258>, neither <03808> hath

spoiled <01497> by violence <01500>, [but] hath given <05414>

his bread <03899> to the hungry <07456>, and hath covered

<03680> the naked <05903> with a garment <0899>,

17 [That] hath taken <07725> off his hand <03027> from the poor

<06041>, [that] hath not received <03947> usury <05392> nor

increase <08635>, hath executed <06213> my judgments <04941>,

hath walked <01980> in my statutes <02708>; he shall not die

<04191> for the iniquity <05771> of his father <01>, he shall

surely live <02421>.

18 [As for] his father <01>, because <03588> he cruelly <06233>

oppressed <06231>, spoiled <01497> his brother <0251> by

violence <01499>, and did <06213> [that] which <0834> [is] not

good <02896> among <08432> his people <05971>, lo <02009>, even

he shall die <04191> in his iniquity <05771>.

19 Yet say <0559> ye, Why <04069>? doth not the son <01121>

bear <05375> the iniquity <05771> of the father <01>? When the

son <01121> hath done <06213> that which is lawful <04941> and

right <06666>, [and] hath kept <08104> all <03605> my statutes

<02708>, and hath done <06213> them, he shall surely live

<02421>.

20 The soul <05315> that sinneth <02398>, it shall die <04191>.

The son <01121> shall not bear <05375> the iniquity <05771> of

the father <01>, neither <03808> shall the father <01> bear

<05375> the iniquity <05771> of the son <01121>: the

righteousness <06666> of the righteous <06662> shall be upon him,

and the wickedness <07564> of the wicked <07563> shall be upon

him.

21. But if the wicked <07563> will turn <07725> from all

<03605> his sins <02403> that he hath committed <06213>, and

keep <08104> all <03605> my statutes <02708>, and do <06213>

that which is lawful <04941> and right <06666>, he shall surely

live <02421>, he shall not die <04191>.

22 All <03605> his transgressions <06588> that he hath

committed <06213>, they shall not be mentioned <02142> unto him:

in his righteousness <06666> that he hath done <06213> he shall

live <02421>.

23 Have I any pleasure <02654> at all that the wicked <07563>

should die <04194>? saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>:

[and] not that he should return <07725> from his ways <01870>,

and live <02421>?

24 But when the righteous <06662> turneth <07725> away from his

righteousness <06666>, and committeth <06213> iniquity <05766>,

[and] doeth <06213> according to all <03605> the abominations

<08441> that the wicked <07563> [man] doeth <06213>, shall he

live <02425>? All <03605> his righteousness <06666> that he hath

done <06213> shall not be mentioned <02142>: in his trespass

<04604> that he hath trespassed <04604>, and in his sin <02403>

that he hath sinned <02398>, in them shall he die <04191>.

25 Yet ye say <0559>, The way <01870> of the Lord <0136> is not

equal <08505>. Hear <08085> now <04994>, O house <01004> of

Israel <03478>; Is not my way <01870> equal <08505>? are not

your ways <01870> unequal?

26 When a righteous <06662> [man] turneth <07725> away from his

righteousness <06666>, and committeth <06213> iniquity <05766>,

and dieth <04191> in them; for his iniquity <05766> that he hath

done <06213> shall he die <04191>.

27 Again, when the wicked <07563> [man] turneth <07725> away

from his wickedness <07564> that he hath committed <06213>, and

doeth <06213> that which is lawful <04941> and right <06666>, he

shall save <02421> his soul <05315> alive <02421>.

28 Because he considereth <07200>, and turneth <07725> away

from all <03605> his transgressions <06588> that he hath

committed <06213>, he shall surely live <02421>, he shall not

die <04191>.

29 Yet saith <0559> the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, The

way <01870> of the Lord <0136> is not equal <08505>. O house

<01004> of Israel <03478>, are not my ways <01870> equal

<08505>? are not your ways <01870> unequal?

30. Therefore <03651> I will judge <08199> you, O house <01004>

of Israel <03478>, every <0376> one <0376> according to his ways

<01870>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>. Repent

<07725>, and turn <07725> [yourselves] from all <03605> your

transgressions <06588>; so iniquity <05771> shall not be your

ruin <04383>.

31 Cast <07993> away from you all <03605> your transgressions

<06588>, whereby <0834> ye have transgressed <06586>; and make

<06213> you a new <02319> heart <03820> and a new <02319> spirit

<07307>: for why <04100> will ye die <04191>, O house <01004> of

Israel <03478>?

32 For I have no <03808> pleasure <02654> in the death <04194>

of him that dieth <04191>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>: wherefore turn <07725> [yourselves], and live <02421>

ye.

Ezekiel 19

1. Moreover take <05375> thou up a lamentation <07015> for the

princes <05387> of Israel <03478>,

2 And say <0559>, What <04100> [is] thy mother <0517>? A

lioness <03833>: she lay <07257> down <07257> among <0996> lions

<0738>, she nourished <07235> her whelps <01482> among <08432>

young <03715> lions <03715>.

3 And she brought <05927> up one <0259> of her whelps <01482>:

it became <01961> a young <03715> lion <03715>, and it learned

<03925> to catch <02963> the prey <02964>; it devoured <0398>

men <0120>.

4 The nations <01471> also heard <08085> of him; he was taken

<08610> in their pit <07845>, and they brought <0935> him with

chains <02397> unto the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.

5 Now when she saw <07200> that she had waited <03176>, [and]

her hope <08615> was lost <06>, then she took <03947> another

<0259> of her whelps <01482>, [and] made <07760> him a young

<03715> lion <03715>.

6 And he went <01980> up and down among <08432> the lions

<0738>, he became <01961> a young <03715> lion <03715>, and

learned <03925> to catch <02963> the prey <02964>, [and]

devoured <0398> men <0120>.

7 And he knew <03045> their desolate <0490> palaces, and he

laid waste <02717> their cities <05892>; and the land <0776> was

desolate <03456>, and the fulness <04393> thereof, by the noise

<06963> of his roaring <07581>.

8 Then the nations <01471> set <05414> against <05921> him on

every <05437> side <05439> from the provinces <04082>, and

spread <06566> their net <07568> over <05921> him: he was taken

<08610> in their pit <07845>.

9 And they put <05414> him in ward <05474> in chains <02397>,

and brought <0935> him to the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>:

they brought <0935> him into holds <04686>, that his voice

<06963> should no <03808> more <05750> be heard <08085> upon the

mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>.

10. Thy mother <0517> [is] like a vine <01612> in thy blood

<01818>, planted <08362> by the waters <04325>: she was fruitful

<06509> and full of branches <06058> by reason of many <07227>

waters <04325>.

11 And she had <01961> strong <05797> rods <04294> for the

sceptres <07626> of them that bare <04910> rule <04910>, and her

stature <06967> was exalted <01361> among <0996> the thick

<05688> branches <05688>, and she appeared <07200> in her height

<01363> with the multitude <07230> of her branches <01808>.

12 But she was plucked <05428> up in fury <02534>, she was cast

<07993> down to the ground <0776>, and the east <06921> wind

<07307> dried <03001> up her fruit <06529>: her strong <05797>

rods <04294> were broken <06531> and withered <03001>; the fire

<0784> consumed <0398> them.

13 And now <06258> she [is] planted <08362> in the wilderness

<04057>, in a dry <06723> and thirsty <06772> ground <0776>.

14 And fire <0784> is gone <03318> out of a rod <04294> of her

branches <0905>, [which] hath devoured <0398> her fruit <06529>,

so that she hath no <03808> strong <05797> rod <04294> [to be] a

sceptre <07626> to rule <04910>. This <01931> [is] a lamentation

<07015>, and shall be for a lamentation <07015>.

Ezekiel 20

1. And it came <01961> to pass in the seventh <07637> year

<08141>, in the fifth <02549> [month], the tenth <06218> [day]

of the month <02320>, [that] certain <0582> of the elders

<02205> of Israel <03478> came <0935> to enquire <01875> of the

LORD <03068>, and sat <03427> before <06440> me.

2 Then came <01961> the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> unto

me, saying <0559>,

3 Son <01121> of man <0120>, speak <01696> unto the elders

<02205> of Israel <03478>, and say <0559> unto them, Thus

<03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Are ye come

<0935> to enquire <01875> of me? [As] I live <02416>, saith

<05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, I will not be enquired

<01875> of by you.

4 Wilt thou judge <08199> them, son <01121> of man <0120>, wilt

thou judge <08199> [them]? cause them to know <03045> the

abominations <08441> of their fathers <01>:

5. And say <0559> unto them, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord

<0136> GOD <03069>; In the day <03117> when I chose <0977>

Israel <03478>, and lifted <05375> up mine hand <03027> unto the

seed <02233> of the house <01004> of Jacob <03290>, and made

myself known <03045> unto them in the land <0776> of Egypt

<04714>, when I lifted <05375> up mine hand <03027> unto them,

saying <0559>, I [am] the LORD <03068> your God <0430>;

6 In the day <03117> [that] I lifted <05375> up mine hand

<03027> unto them, to bring <03318> them forth <03318> of the

land <0776> of Egypt <04714> into <0413> a land <0776> that I

had espied <08446> for them, flowing <02100> with milk <02461>

and honey <01706>, which <01958> [is] the glory <06643> of all

<03605> lands <0776>:

7 Then said <0559> I unto them, Cast <07993> ye away every man

<0376> the abominations <08251> of his eyes <05869>, and defile

<02930> not yourselves with the idols <01544> of Egypt <04714>:

I [am] the LORD <03068> your God <0430>.

8 But they rebelled <04784> against me, and would <014> not

hearken <08085> unto me: they did not every man <0376> cast

<07993> away the abominations <08251> of their eyes <05869>,

neither <03808> did they forsake <05800> the idols <01544> of

Egypt <04714>: then I said <0559>, I will pour <08210> out my

fury <02534> upon them, to accomplish <03615> my anger <0639>

against them in the midst <08432> of the land <0776> of Egypt

<04714>.

9 But I wrought <06213> for my name's <08034> sake <04616>,

that it should not be polluted <02490> before <05869> the

heathen <01471>, among <08432> whom <0834> they [were], in whose

<0853> sight <05869> I made myself known <03045> unto them, in

bringing <03318> them forth <03318> out of the land <0776> of

Egypt <04714>.

10. Wherefore I caused them to go <03318> forth <03318> out of

the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, and brought <0935> them into

<0413> the wilderness <04057>.

11 And I gave <05414> them my statutes <02708>, and shewed

<03045> them my judgments <04941>, which <0834> [if] a man

<0120> do <06213>, he shall even live <02425> in them.

12 Moreover <01571> also <01571> I gave <05414> them my

sabbaths <07676>, to be a sign <0226> between <0996> me and them,

that they might know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068> that

sanctify <06942> them.

13 But the house <01004> of Israel <03478> rebelled <04784>

against me in the wilderness <04057>: they walked <01980> not in

my statutes <02708>, and they despised <03988> my judgments

<04941>, which <0834> [if] a man <0120> do <06213>, he shall

even live <02425> in them; and my sabbaths <07676> they greatly

<03966> polluted <02490>: then I said <0559>, I would pour

<08210> out my fury <02534> upon them in the wilderness <04057>,

to consume <03615> them.

14 But I wrought <06213> for my name's <08034> sake <04616>,

that it should not be polluted <02490> before <05869> the

heathen <01471>, in whose <0834> sight <05869> I brought <03318>

them out.

15 Yet also <01571> I lifted <05375> up my hand <03027> unto

them in the wilderness <04057>, that I would not bring <0935>

them into <0413> the land <0776> which <0834> I had given

<05414> [them], flowing <02100> with milk <02461> and honey

<01706>, which <01958> [is] the glory of all <03605> lands

<0776>;

16 Because <03282> they despised <03988> my judgments <04941>,

and walked <01980> not in my statutes <02708>, but polluted

<02490> my sabbaths <07676>: for their heart <03820> went

<01980> after <0310> their idols <01544>.

17 Nevertheless mine eye <05869> spared <02347> them from

destroying <07843> them, neither <03808> did I make <06213> an

end <03615> of them in the wilderness <04057>.

18 But I said <0559> unto their children <01121> in the

wilderness <04057>, Walk <03212> ye not in the statutes <02706>

of your fathers <01>, neither <0408> observe <08104> their

judgments <04941>, nor <0408> defile <02930> yourselves with

their idols <01544>:

19 I [am] the LORD <03068> your God <0430>; walk <03212> in my

statutes <02708>, and keep <08104> my judgments <04941>, and do

<06213> them;

20 And hallow <06942> my sabbaths <07676>; and they shall be a

sign <0226> between <0996> me and you, that ye may know <03045>

that I [am] the LORD <03068> your God <0430>.

21 Notwithstanding the children <01121> rebelled <04784>

against me: they walked <01980> not in my statutes <02708>,

neither <03808> kept <08104> my judgments <04941> to do <06213>

them, which <0834> [if] a man <0120> do <06213>, he shall even

live <02425> in them; they polluted <02490> my sabbaths <07676>:

then I said <0559>, I would pour <08210> out my fury <02534>

upon them, to accomplish <03615> my anger <0639> against them in

the wilderness <04057>.

22 Nevertheless I withdrew <07725> mine hand <03027>, and

wrought <06213> for my name's <08034> sake <04616>, that it

should not be polluted <02490> in the sight <05869> of the

heathen <01471>, in whose <0834> sight <05869> I brought <03318>

them forth <03318>.

23 I lifted <05375> up mine hand <03027> unto them also <01571>

in the wilderness <04057>, that I would scatter <06327> them

among the heathen <01471>, and disperse <02219> them through the

countries <0776>;

24 Because <03282> they had not executed <06213> my judgments

<04941>, but had despised <03988> my statutes <02708>, and had

polluted <02490> my sabbaths <07676>, and their eyes <05869>

were after <0310> their fathers <01>' idols <01544>.

25 Wherefore I gave <05414> them also <01571> statutes <02706>

[that were] not good <02896>, and judgments <04941> whereby they

should not live <02421>;

26 And I polluted <02930> them in their own gifts <04979>, in

that they caused to pass <05674> through [the fire] all <03605>

that openeth <06363> the womb <07356>, that I might make them

desolate <08074>, to the end <04616> that they might know

<03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

27. Therefore <03651>, son <01121> of man <0120>, speak <01696>

unto the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, and say <0559> unto

them, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Yet

<05750> in this <02063> your fathers <01> have blasphemed

<01442> me, in that they have committed <04600> a trespass

<04604> against me.

28 [For] when I had brought <0935> them into <0413> the land

<0776>, [for] the which <0834> I lifted <05375> up mine hand

<03027> to give <05414> it to them, then they saw <07200> every

<03605> high <07311> hill <01389>, and all <03605> the thick

<05687> trees <06086>, and they offered <02076> there <08033>

their sacrifices <02077>, and there <08033> they presented

<05414> the provocation <03708> of their offering <07133>: there

<08033> also they made <07760> their sweet <05207> savour

<07381>, and poured <05258> out there <08033> their drink

<05262> offerings.

29 Then I said <0559> unto them, What <04100> [is] the high

<01116> place whereunto ye go <0935>? And the name <08034>

thereof is called <07121> Bamah <01117> unto this <02088> day

<03117>.

30 Wherefore <03651> say <0559> unto the house <01004> of

Israel <03478>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>; Are ye polluted <02930> after the manner <01870> of

your fathers <01>? and commit <02181> ye whoredom <02181> after

<0310> their abominations <08251>?

31 For when ye offer <05375> your gifts <04979>, when ye make

your sons <01121> to pass <05674> through the fire <0784>, ye

pollute <02930> yourselves with all <03605> your idols <01544>,

even unto this day <03117>: and shall I be enquired <01875> of

by you, O house <01004> of Israel <03478>? [As] I live <02416>,

saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, I will not be

enquired of by you.

32 And that which cometh <05927> into <05921> your mind <07307>

shall not be at all, that ye say <0559>, We will be as the

heathen <01471>, as the families <04940> of the countries <0776>,

to serve <08334> wood <06086> and stone <068>.

33. [As] I live, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>,

surely with a mighty <02389> hand <03027>, and with a stretched

<05186> out arm <02220>, and with fury <02534> poured <08210>

out, will I rule <04427> over you:

34 And I will bring <03318> you out from the people <05971>,

and will gather <06908> you out of the countries <0776> wherein

<0834> ye are scattered <06327>, with a mighty <02389> hand

<03027>, and with a stretched <05186> out arm <02220>, and with

fury <02534> poured <08210> out.

35 And I will bring <0935> you into <0413> the wilderness

<04057> of the people <05971>, and there <08033> will I plead

<08199> with you face <06440> to face <06440>.

36 Like as I pleaded <08199> with your fathers <01> in the

wilderness <04057> of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, so

<03651> will I plead <08199> with you, saith <05002> the Lord

<0136> GOD <03069>.

37 And I will cause you to pass <05674> under <08478> the rod

<07626>, and I will bring <0935> you into the bond <04562> of

the covenant <01285>:

38 And I will purge <01305> out from among you the rebels

<04775>, and them that transgress <06586> against me: I will

bring <03318> them forth <03318> out of the country <0776> where

they sojourn <04033>, and they shall not enter <0935> into

<0413> the land <0127> of Israel <03478>: and ye shall know

<03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

39 As for you, O house <01004> of Israel <03478>, thus <03541>

saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Go <03212> ye, serve

<05647> ye every <0376> one <0376> his idols <01544>, and

hereafter <0310> [also], if <0518> ye will not hearken <08085>

unto me: but pollute <02490> ye my holy <06944> name <08034> no

<03808> more <05750> with your gifts <04979>, and with your

idols <01544>.

40 For in mine holy <06944> mountain <02022>, in the mountain

<02022> of the height <04791> of Israel <03478>, saith <05002>

the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, there <08033> shall all <03605> the

house <01004> of Israel <03478>, all <03605> of them in the land

<0776>, serve <05647> me: there <08033> will I accept <07521>

them, and there <08033> will I require <01875> your offerings

<08641>, and the firstfruits <07225> of your oblations <04864>,

with all <03605> your holy things.

41 I will accept <07521> you with your sweet <05207> savour

<07381>, when I bring <03318> you out from the people <05971>,

and gather <06908> you out of the countries <0776> wherein ye

have been scattered <06327>; and I will be sanctified <06942> in

you before <05869> the heathen <01471>.

42 And ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>, when

I shall bring <0935> you into <0413> the land <0127> of Israel

<03478>, into <0413> the country <0776> [for] the which <0834> I

lifted <05375> up mine hand <03027> to give <05414> it to your

fathers <01>.

43 And there <08033> shall ye remember <02142> your ways

<01870>, and all <03605> your doings <05949>, wherein <0834> ye

have been defiled <02930>; and ye shall lothe <06962> yourselves

in your own sight <06440> for all <03605> your evils <07451>

that ye have committed <06213>.

44 And ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>, when

<03588> I have wrought <06213> with you for my name's <08034>

sake <04616>, not according to your wicked <07451> ways <01870>,

nor according to your corrupt <07843> doings <05949>, O ye house

<01004> of Israel <03478>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>.

45. Moreover the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961>

unto me, saying <0559>,

46 Son <01121> of man <0120>, set <07760> thy face <06440>

toward <01870> the south <08486>, and drop <05197> [thy word]

toward <0413> the south <01864>, and prophesy <05012> against

<0413> the forest <03293> of the south <05045> field <07704>;

47 And say <0559> to the forest <03293> of the south <05045>,

Hear <08085> the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>; Thus <03541>

saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I will

kindle <03341> a fire <0784> in thee, and it shall devour <0398>

every <03605> green <03892> tree <06086> in thee, and every

<03605> dry <03002> tree <06086>: the flaming <03852> flame

<07957> shall not be quenched <03518>, and all <03605> faces

<06440> from the south <05045> to the north <06828> shall be

burned <06866> therein.

48 And all <03605> flesh <01320> shall see <07200> that I the

LORD <03068> have kindled <01197> it: it shall not be quenched

<03518>.

49 Then said <0559> I, Ah <0162> Lord <0136> GOD <03069>! they

say <0559> of me, Doth he not speak <04911> parables <04912>?

Ezekiel 21

1. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto

me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, set <07760> thy face <06440>

toward <0413> Jerusalem <03389>, and drop <05197> [thy word]

toward <0413> the holy <04720> places, and prophesy <05012>

against <0413> the land <0127> of Israel <03478>,

3 And say <0559> to the land <0127> of Israel <03478>, Thus

<03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>; Behold <02005>, I [am]

against <0413> thee, and will draw <03318> forth <03318> my

sword <02719> out of his sheath <08593>, and will cut <03772>

off from thee the righteous <06662> and the wicked <07563>.

4 Seeing <03282> then that I will cut <03772> off from thee the

righteous <06662> and the wicked <07563>, therefore shall my

sword <02719> go <03318> forth <03318> out of his sheath <08593>

against <0413> all <03605> flesh <01320> from the south <05045>

to the north <06828>:

5 That all <03605> flesh <01320> may know <03045> that I the

LORD <03068> have drawn <03318> forth <03318> my sword <02719>

out of his sheath <08593>: it shall not return <07725> any more

<05750>.

6 Sigh <0584> therefore, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, with

the breaking <07670> of [thy] loins <04975>; and with bitterness

<04814> sigh <0584> before their eyes <05869>.

7 And it shall be, when <03588> they say <0559> unto thee,

Wherefore sighest <0584> thou? that thou shalt answer <0559>,

For the tidings <08052>; because <03588> it cometh <0935>: and

every <03605> heart <03820> shall melt <04549>, and all <03605>

hands <03027> shall be feeble <07503>, and every <03605> spirit

<07307> shall faint <03543>, and all <03605> knees <01290> shall

be weak <03212> [as] water <04325>: behold <02009>, it cometh

<0935>, and shall be brought <01961> to pass, saith <05002> the

Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

8. Again the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto

me, saying <0559>,

9 Son <01121> of man <0120>, prophesy <05012>, and say <0559>,

Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>; Say <0559>, A sword

<02719>, a sword <02719> is sharpened <02300>, and also <01571>

furbished <04803>:

10 It is sharpened <02300> to make a sore slaughter <02873>; it

is furbished <04803> that it may glitter <01300>: should we then

<0176> make mirth <07797>? it contemneth <03988> the rod <07626>

of my son <01121>, [as] every <03605> tree <06086>.

11 And he hath given <05414> it to be furbished <04803>, that

it may be handled: this <01931> sword <02719> is sharpened

<02300>, and it is furbished <04803>, to give <05414> it into

the hand <03027> of the slayer <02026>.

12 Cry <02199> and howl <03213>, son <01121> of man <0120>: for

it shall be upon my people <05971>, it [shall be] upon all

<03605> the princes <05387> of Israel <03478>: terrors <04048>

by reason <0413> of the sword <02719> shall be upon my people

<05971>: smite <05606> therefore upon [thy] thigh <03409>.

13 Because <03588> [it is] a trial <0974>, and what <04100> if

<0518> [the sword] contemn <03988> even <01571> the rod <07626>?

it shall be no <03808> [more], saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>.

14 Thou therefore, son <01121> of man <0120>, prophesy <05012>,

and smite <05221> [thine] hands <03709> together, and let the

sword <02719> be doubled <03717> the third <07992> time, the

sword <02719> of the slain <02491>: it [is] the sword <02719> of

the great <01419> [men that are] slain <02491>, which entereth

into their privy <02314> chambers <02315>.

15 I have set <05414> the point <019> of the sword <02719>

against <05921> all <03605> their gates <08179>, that [their]

heart <03820> may faint <04127>, and [their] ruins <04383> be

multiplied <07235>: ah <0253>! [it is] made bright <01300>, [it

is] wrapped <04593> up for the slaughter <02875>.

16 Go <0258> thee one way or other, [either] on the right

<03231> hand <03221>, [or] on the left <08041>, whithersoever

<0575> thy face <06440> [is] set <03259>.

17 I will also <01571> smite <05221> mine hands <03709>

together, and I will cause my fury <02534> to rest <05117>: I

the LORD <03068> have said <01696> [it].

18. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me

again, saying <0559>,

19 Also, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, appoint <07760> thee

two <08147> ways <01870>, that the sword <02719> of the king

<04428> of Babylon <0894> may come <0935>: both twain <08147>

shall come <03318> forth <03318> out of one <0259> land <0776>:

and choose <01254> thou a place <03027>, choose <01254> [it] at

the head <07218> of the way <01870> to the city <05892>.

20 Appoint <07760> a way <01870>, that the sword <02719> may

come <0935> to Rabbath <07237> of the Ammonites <05984>, and to

Judah <03063> in Jerusalem <03389> the defenced <01219>.

21 For the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> stood <05975> at

<0413> the parting <0517> of the way <01870>, at the head

<07218> of the two <08147> ways <01870>, to use <07080>

divination <07081>: he made [his] arrows <02671> bright <07043>,

he consulted <07592> with images <08655>, he looked <07200> in

the liver <03516>.

22 At his right <03225> hand <03225> was the divination <07081>

for Jerusalem <03389>, to appoint <07760> captains <03733>, to

open <06605> the mouth <06310> in the slaughter <07524>, to lift

<07311> up the voice <06963> with shouting <08643>, to appoint

<07760> [battering] rams <03733> against <05921> the gates

<08179>, to cast <08210> a mount <05550>, [and] to build <01129>

a fort <01785>.

23 And it shall be unto them as a false <07723> divination

<07080> in their sight <05869>, to them that have sworn <07650>

oaths <07621>: but he will call <02142> to remembrance <02142>

the iniquity <05771>, that they may be taken <08610>.

24 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Because <03282> ye have made your iniquity <05771>

to be remembered <02142>, in that your transgressions <06588>

are discovered <01540>, so that in all <03605> your doings

<05949> your sins <02403> do appear <07200>; because <03282>, [I

say], that ye are come to remembrance <02142>, ye shall be taken

<08610> with the hand <03079>.

25 And thou, profane <02491> wicked <07563> prince <05387> of

Israel <03478>, whose <0834> day <03117> is come <0935>, when

<06256> iniquity <05771> [shall have] an end <07093>,

26 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;

Remove <05493> the diadem <04701>, and take <07311> off the

crown <05850>: this <02063> [shall] not [be] the same <02063>:

exalt <01361> [him that is] low <08217>, and abase <08213> [him

that is] high <01364>.

27 I will overturn <05754>, overturn <05754>, overturn <05754>,

it: and it shall be no <03808> [more], until <05704> he come

<0935> whose <0834> right <04941> it is; and I will give <05414>

it [him].

28. And thou, son <01121> of man <0120>, prophesy <05012> and

say <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069> concerning <0413> the Ammonites <05984>, and concerning

<0413> their reproach <02781>; even say <0559> thou, The sword

<02719>, the sword <02719> [is] drawn <06605>: for the slaughter

<02875> [it is] furbished <04803>, to consume <0398> because

<04616> of the glittering <01300>:

29 Whiles they see <02372> vanity <07723> unto thee, whiles

they divine <07080> a lie <03576> unto thee, to bring <05414>

thee upon the necks <06677> of [them that are] slain <02491>, of

the wicked <07563>, whose <0834> day <03117> is come <0935>,

when <06256> their iniquity <05771> [shall have] an end <07093>.

30 Shall I cause [it] to return <07725> into his sheath

<08593>? I will judge <08199> thee in the place <04725> where

<0834> thou wast created <01254>, in the land <0776> of thy

nativity <04351>.

31 And I will pour <08210> out mine indignation <02195> upon

thee, I will blow <06315> against <05921> thee in the fire

<0784> of my wrath <05678>, and deliver <05414> thee into the

hand <03027> of brutish <01197> men <0582>, [and] skilful

<02796> to destroy <04889>.

32 Thou shalt be for fuel <0402> to the fire <0784>; thy blood

<01818> shall be in the midst <08432> of the land <0776>; thou

shalt be no <03808> [more] remembered <02142>: for I the LORD

<03068> have spoken <01696> [it].

Ezekiel 22

1. Moreover the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961>

unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Now, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, wilt thou judge <08199>,

wilt thou judge <08199> the bloody <01818> city <05892>? yea,

thou shalt shew <03045> her all <03605> her abominations <08441>.

3 Then say <0559> thou, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord

<0136> GOD <03069>, The city <05892> sheddeth <08210> blood

<01818> in the midst <08432> of it, that her time <06256> may

come <0935>, and maketh <06213> idols <01544> against <05921>

herself to defile <02930> herself.

4 Thou art become <0816> guilty <0816> in thy blood <01818>

that thou hast shed <08210>; and hast defiled <02930> thyself in

thine idols <01544> which <0834> thou hast made <06213>; and

thou hast caused thy days <03117> to draw near <07126>, and art

come <0935> [even] unto thy years <08141>: therefore <03651>

have I made <05414> thee a reproach <02781> unto the heathen

<01471>, and a mocking <07048> to all <03605> countries <0776>.

5 [Those that be] near <07138>, and [those that be] far <07350>

from thee, shall mock <07046> thee, [which art] infamous [and]

much <07227> vexed <04103>.

6 Behold <02009>, the princes <05387> of Israel <03478>, every

<0376> one <0376> were in thee to their power <02220> to shed

<08210> blood <01818>.

7 In thee have they set light <07043> by father <01> and mother

<0517>: in the midst <08432> of thee have they dealt <06213> by

oppression <06233> with the stranger <01616>: in thee have they

vexed <03238> the fatherless <03490> and the widow <0490>.

8 Thou hast despised <0959> mine holy <06944> things, and hast

profaned <02490> my sabbaths <07676>.

9 In thee are men <0582> that carry <07400> tales <07400> to

shed <08210> blood <01818>: and in thee they eat <0398> upon the

mountains <02022>: in the midst <08432> of thee they commit

<06213> lewdness <02154>.

10 In thee have they discovered <01540> their fathers <01>'

nakedness <06172>: in thee have they humbled <06031> her that

was set <05079> apart <05079> for pollution <02931>.

11 And one hath committed <06213> abomination <08441> with his

neighbour's <07453> wife <0802>; and another <0376> hath lewdly

<02154> defiled <02930> his daughter <03618> in law <03618>; and

another <0376> in thee hath humbled <06031> his sister <0269>,

his father's <01> daughter <01323>.

12 In thee have they taken <03947> gifts <07810> to shed

<08210> blood <01818>; thou hast taken <03947> usury <05392> and

increase <08635>, and thou hast greedily gained <01214> of thy

neighbours <07453> by extortion <06233>, and hast forgotten

<07911> me, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

13 Behold <02009>, therefore I have smitten <05221> mine hand

<03079> at <0413> thy dishonest <01215> gain <01214> which

<0834> thou hast made <06213>, and at <05921> thy blood <01818>

which <0834> hath been <01961> in the midst <08432> of thee.

14 Can thine heart <03820> endure <05975>, or can thine hands

<03027> be strong <02388>, in the days <03117> that I shall deal

<06213> with thee? I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> [it],

and will do <06213> [it].

15 And I will scatter <06327> thee among the heathen <01471>,

and disperse <02219> thee in the countries <0776>, and will

consume <08552> thy filthiness <02932> out of thee.

16 And thou shalt take thine inheritance <02490> in thyself in

the sight <05869> of the heathen <01471>, and thou shalt know

<03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

17. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto

me, saying <0559>,

18 Son <01121> of man <0120>, the house <01004> of Israel

<03478> is to me become <01961> dross <05509>: all <03605> they

[are] brass <05178>, and tin <0913>, and iron <01270>, and lead

<05777>, in the midst <08432> of the furnace <03564>; they are

[even] the dross <05509> of silver <03701>.

19 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Because <03282> ye are all <03605> become <01961>

dross <05509>, behold <02005>, therefore <03651> I will gather

<06908> you into <0413> the midst <08432> of Jerusalem <03389>.

20 [As] they gather <06910> silver <03701>, and brass <05178>,

and iron <01270>, and lead <05777>, and tin <0913>, into <0413>

the midst <08432> of the furnace <03564>, to blow <05301> the

fire <0784> upon it, to melt <05413> [it]; so <03651> will I

gather <06908> [you] in mine anger <0639> and in my fury <02534>,

and I will leave <03241> [you there], and melt <05413> you.

21 Yea, I will gather <03664> you, and blow <05301> upon you in

the fire <0784> of my wrath <05678>, and ye shall be melted

<05413> in the midst <08432> thereof.

22 As silver <03701> is melted <02046> in the midst <08432> of

the furnace <03564>, so <03651> shall ye be melted <05413> in

the midst <08432> thereof; and ye shall know <03045> that I the

LORD <03068> have poured <08210> out my fury <02534> upon you.

23. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto

me, saying <0559>,

24 Son <01121> of man <0120>, say <0559> unto her, Thou [art]

the land <0776> that is not cleansed <02891>, nor <03808> rained

<01656> upon in the day <03117> of indignation <02195>.

25 [There is] a conspiracy <07195> of her prophets <05030> in

the midst <08432> thereof, like a roaring <07580> lion <0738>

ravening <02963> the prey <02964>; they have devoured <0398>

souls <05315>; they have taken <03947> the treasure <02633> and

precious <03366> things; they have made her many <07235> widows

<0490> in the midst <08432> thereof.

26 Her priests <03548> have violated <02554> my law <08451>,

and have profaned <02490> mine holy <06944> things: they have

put no <03808> difference between <0996> the holy <06944> and

profane <02455>, neither <03808> have they shewed <03045>

[difference] between <0996> the unclean <02931> and the clean

<02889>, and have hid <05956> their eyes <05869> from my

sabbaths <07676>, and I am profaned <02490> among <08432> them.

27 Her princes <08269> in the midst <07130> thereof [are] like

wolves <02061> ravening <02963> the prey <02964>, to shed

<08210> blood <01818>, [and] to destroy <06> souls <05315>, to

get <01214> dishonest <01215> gain <01214>.

28 And her prophets <05030> have daubed <02902> them with

untempered <08602> [morter], seeing vanity <07723>, and divining

<07080> lies <03576> unto them, saying <0559>, Thus <03541>

saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, when the LORD <03068>

hath not spoken <01696>.

29 The people <05971> of the land <0776> have used oppression

<06233>, and exercised robbery <01498>, and have vexed <03238>

the poor <06041> and needy <034>: yea, they have oppressed

<06231> the stranger <01616> wrongfully.

30 And I sought <01245> for a man <0376> among them, that

should make <01443> up the hedge <01447>, and stand <05975> in

the gap <06556> before <06440> me for the land <0776>, that I

should not destroy <07843> it: but I found <04672> none <03808>.

31 Therefore have I poured <08210> out mine indignation <02195>

upon them; I have consumed <03615> them with the fire <0784> of

my wrath <05678>: their own way <01870> have I recompensed

<05414> upon their heads <07218>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 23

1. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> again unto

me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, there were two <08147> women

<0802>, the daughters <01121> of one <0259> mother <0517>:

3 And they committed <02181> whoredoms in Egypt <04714>; they

committed <02181> whoredoms in their youth <05271>: there

<08033> were their breasts <07699> pressed <04600>, and there

<08033> they bruised <06213> the teats <01717> of their

virginity <01331>.

4 And the names <08034> of them [were] Aholah <0170> the elder

<01419>, and Aholibah <0172> her sister <0269>: and they were

mine, and they bare <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01121>.

Thus [were] their names <08034>; Samaria <08111> [is] Aholah

<0170>, and Jerusalem <03389> Aholibah <0172>.

5 And Aholah <0170> played the harlot <02181> when she was mine;

and she doted <05689> on <0413> her lovers <0157>, on <0413>

the Assyrians <0804> [her] neighbours <07138>,

6 [Which were] clothed <03847> with blue <08504>, captains

<06346> and rulers <05461>, all <03605> of them desirable

<02531> young <0970> men, horsemen <06571> riding <07392> upon

horses <05483>.

7 Thus she committed <05414> her whoredoms <08457> with them,

with all them [that were] the chosen <04005> men <01121> of

Assyria <0804>, and with all <03605> on whom <0834> she doted

<05689>: with all <03605> their idols <01544> she defiled

<02930> herself.

8 Neither <03808> left <05800> she her whoredoms <08457>

[brought] from Egypt <04714>: for in her youth <05271> they lay

<07901> with her, and they bruised <06213> the breasts <01717>

of her virginity <01331>, and poured <08210> their whoredom

<08457> upon her.

9 Wherefore <03651> I have delivered <05414> her into the hand

<03027> of her lovers <0157>, into the hand <03027> of the

Assyrians <0804>, upon whom <0834> she doted <05689>.

10 These <01992> discovered <01540> her nakedness <06172>: they

took <03947> her sons <01121> and her daughters <01121>, and

slew her with the sword <02719>: and she became <01961> famous

<08034> among women <0802>; for they had executed <06213>

judgment <08196> upon her.

11. And when <03588> her sister <0269> Aholibah <0172> saw

<07200> [this], she was more corrupt <07843> in her inordinate

<05691> love <05691> than she, and in her whoredoms <08457> more

than her sister <0269> in [her] whoredoms <02183>.

12 She doted <05689> upon the Assyrians <0804> [her] neighbours

<07138>, captains <06346> and rulers <05461> clothed <03847>

most gorgeously <04358>, horsemen <06571> riding <07392> upon

horses <05483>, all <03605> of them desirable <02531> young

<0970> men.

13 Then I saw <07200> that she was defiled <02930>, [that] they

[took] both <08147> one <0259> way <01870>,

14 And [that] she increased <03254> her whoredoms <08457>: for

when she saw <07200> men <0582> pourtrayed <02707> upon the wall

<07023>, the images <06754> of the Chaldeans <03779> pourtrayed

<02710> with vermilion <08350>,

15 Girded <02289> with girdles <0232> upon their loins <04975>,

exceeding <05628> in dyed <02871> attire <02871> upon their

heads <07218>, all <03605> of them princes <07991> to look

<04758> to, after the manner <01823> of the Babylonians of

Chaldea <03778>, the land <0776> of their nativity <04138>:

16 And as soon <04758> as she saw them with her eyes <05869>,

she doted <05689> upon them, and sent <07971> messengers <04397>

unto them into Chaldea <03778>.

17 And the Babylonians came <0935> to her into the bed <04904>

of love <01730>, and they defiled <02930> her with their

whoredom <08457>, and she was polluted <02930> with them, and

her mind <05315> was alienated <03363> from them.

18 So she discovered <01540> her whoredoms <08457>, and

discovered <01540> her nakedness <06172>: then my mind <05315>

was alienated <03363> from her, like as my mind <05315> was

alienated <05361> from her sister <0269>.

19 Yet she multiplied <07235> her whoredoms <08457>, in calling

<02142> to remembrance <02142> the days <03117> of her youth

<05271>, wherein <0834> she had played the harlot <02181> in the

land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.

20 For she doted <05689> upon their paramours <06370>, whose

flesh <01320> [is as] the flesh <01320> of asses <02543>, and

whose issue <02231> [is like] the issue <02231> of horses

<05483>.

21 Thus thou calledst <06485> to remembrance <06485> the

lewdness <02154> of thy youth <05271>, in bruising <06213> thy

teats <01717> by the Egyptians <04714> for the paps <07699> of

thy youth <05271>.

22. Therefore <03651>, O Aholibah <0172>, thus <03541> saith

<0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I will raise

<05782> up thy lovers <0157> against <05921> thee, from whom thy

mind <05315> is alienated <05361>, and I will bring <0935> them

against <05921> thee on every <05437> side <05439>;

23 The Babylonians, and all <03605> the Chaldeans <03779>,

Pekod <06489>, and Shoa <07772>, and Koa <06970>, [and] all

<03605> the Assyrians <0804> with them: all <03605> of them

desirable <02531> young <0970> men, captains <06346> and rulers

<05461>, great <07991> lords <07991> and renowned <07121>, all

<03605> of them riding <07392> upon horses <05483>.

24 And they shall come <0935> against <05921> thee with

chariots <02021>, wagons <07393>, and wheels <01534>, and with

an assembly <06951> of people <05971>, [which] shall set <07760>

against <05921> thee buckler <06793> and shield <04043> and

helmet <06959> round <05439> about: and I will set <05414>

judgment <04941> before <06440> them, and they shall judge

<08199> thee according to their judgments <04941>.

25 And I will set <05414> my jealousy <07068> against thee, and

they shall deal <06213> furiously <02534> with thee: they shall

take <05493> away <05493> thy nose <0639> and thine ears <0241>;

and thy remnant <0319> shall fall <05307> by the sword <02719>:

they shall take <03947> thy sons <01121> and thy daughters

<01121>; and thy residue <0319> shall be devoured <0398> by the

fire <0784>.

26 They shall also strip <06584> thee out of thy clothes <0899>,

and take <03947> away thy fair <08597> jewels <03627>.

27 Thus will I make thy lewdness <02154> to cease <07673> from

thee, and thy whoredom <02184> [brought] from the land <0776> of

Egypt <04714>: so that thou shalt not lift <05375> up thine eyes

<05869> unto them, nor <03808> remember <02142> Egypt <04714>

any more <05750>.

28 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;

Behold <02005>, I will deliver <05414> thee into the hand

<03027> [of them] whom <0834> thou hatest <08130>, into the hand

<03027> [of them] from whom <0834> thy mind <05315> is alienated

<05361>:

29 And they shall deal <06213> with thee hatefully <08135>, and

shall take <03947> away all <03605> thy labour <03018>, and

shall leave <05800> thee naked <05903> and bare <06181>: and the

nakedness <06172> of thy whoredoms <02183> shall be discovered

<01540>, both thy lewdness <02154> and thy whoredoms <08457>.

30 I will do <06213> these <0428> [things] unto thee, because

thou hast gone a whoring <02181> after <0310> the heathen

<01471>, [and] because thou art polluted <02930> with their

idols <01544>.

31 Thou hast walked <01980> in the way <01870> of thy sister

<0269>; therefore will I give <05414> her cup <03563> into thine

hand <03027>.

32 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Thou

shalt drink <08354> of thy sister's <0269> cup <03563> deep

<06013> and large <07342>: thou shalt be laughed <06712> to

scorn and had in derision <03932>; it containeth <03557> much

<04767>.

33 Thou shalt be filled <04390> with drunkenness <07943> and

sorrow <03015>, with the cup <03563> of astonishment <08047> and

desolation <08077>, with the cup <03563> of thy sister <0269>

Samaria <08111>.

34 Thou shalt even drink <08354> it and suck <04680> [it] out,

and thou shalt break <01633> the sherds <02789> thereof, and

pluck <05423> off thine own breasts <07699>: for I have spoken

<01696> [it], saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

35 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Because <03282> thou hast forgotten <07911> me, and

cast <07998> me behind <0310> thy back <01458>, therefore bear

<05375> thou also <01571> thy lewdness <02154> and thy whoredoms

<08457>.

36. The LORD <03068> said <0559> moreover unto me; Son <01121>

of man <0120>, wilt thou judge <08199> Aholah <0170> and

Aholibah <0172>? yea, declare <05046> unto them their

abominations <08441>;

37 That they have committed <05003> adultery <05003>, and blood

<01818> [is] in their hands <03027>, and with their idols

<01544> have they committed <05003> adultery <05003>, and have

also <01571> caused their sons <01121>, whom <0834> they bare

<03205> unto me, to pass <05674> for them through [the fire], to

devour <0402> [them].

38 Moreover <05750> this <02063> they have done <06213> unto me:

they have defiled <02930> my sanctuary <04720> in the same

<01931> day <03117>, and have profaned <02490> my sabbaths

<07676>.

39 For when they had slain <07819> their children <01121> to

their idols <01544>, then they came <0935> the same <01931> day

<03117> into <0413> my sanctuary <04720> to profane <02490> it;

and, lo <02009>, thus <03541> have they done <06213> in the

midst <08432> of mine house <01004>.

40 And furthermore <0637>, that ye have sent <07971> for men

<0582> to come <0935> from far <04801>, unto whom a messenger

<04397> [was] sent <07971>; and, lo <02009>, they came <0935>:

for whom <0834> thou didst wash <07364> thyself, paintedst

<03583> thy eyes <05869>, and deckedst <05710> thyself with

ornaments <05716>,

41 And satest <03427> upon a stately <03520> bed <04296>, and a

table <07979> prepared <06186> before <06440> it, whereupon

<05921> thou hast set <07760> mine incense <07004> and mine oil

<08081>.

42 And a voice <06963> of a multitude <01995> being at ease

<07961> [was] with her: and with the men <0582> of the common

<07230> sort [were] brought <0935> Sabeans <05433> from the

wilderness <04057>, which put <05414> bracelets <06781> upon

their hands <03027>, and beautiful <08597> crowns <05850> upon

their heads <07218>.

43 Then said <0559> I unto [her that was] old <01087> in

adulteries <05004>, Will they now <06258> commit <02181>

whoredoms <08457> with her, and she [with them]?

44 Yet they went <0935> in unto her, as they go <0935> in unto

a woman <0802> that playeth the harlot <02181>: so <03651> went

<0935> they in unto Aholah <0170> and unto Aholibah <0172>, the

lewd <02154> women <0802>.

45 And the righteous <06662> men <0582>, they shall judge

<08199> them after the manner <04941> of adulteresses <05003>,

and after the manner <04941> of women that shed <08210> blood

<01818>; because <03588> they [are] adulteresses <05003>, and

blood <01818> [is] in their hands <03027>.

46 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I

will bring <05927> up a company <06951> upon them, and will give

<05414> them to be removed <02189> and spoiled <0957>.

47 And the company <06951> shall stone <07275> them with stones

<068>, and dispatch <01254> them with their swords <02719>; they

shall slay <04191> their sons <01121> and their daughters

<01121>, and burn <08313> up their houses <01004> with fire

<0784>.

48 Thus will I cause lewdness <02154> to cease <07673> out of

the land <0776>, that all <03605> women <0802> may be taught

<03256> not to do <06213> after <0310> your lewdness <02154>.

49 And they shall recompense <05414> your lewdness <02154> upon

you, and ye shall bear <05375> the sins <02399> of your idols

<01544>: and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 24

1. Again in the ninth <08671> year <08141>, in the tenth

<06224> month <02320>, in the tenth <06218> [day] of the month

<02320>, the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto

me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, write <03789> thee the name

<08034> of the day <03117>, [even] of this <02088> same <06106>

day <03117>: the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> set <05564>

himself against <0413> Jerusalem <03389> this <02088> same

<06106> day <03117>.

3 And utter <04911> a parable <04912> unto the rebellious

<04805> house <01004>, and say <0559> unto them, Thus <03541>

saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Set <08239> on a pot

<05518>, set <08239> [it] on, and also <01571> pour <03332>

water <04325> into it:

4 Gather <0622> the pieces <05409> thereof into it, [even]

every <03605> good <02896> piece <05409>, the thigh <03409>, and

the shoulder <03802>; fill <04390> [it] with the choice <04005>

bones <06106>.

5 Take <03947> the choice <04005> of the flock <06629>, and

burn <01754> also <01571> the bones <06106> under <08478> it,

[and] make it boil <07570> well <07571>, and let them seethe

<01310> the bones <06106> of it therein <08432>.

6 Wherefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Woe <0188> to the bloody <01818> city <05892>, to

the pot <05518> whose <0834> scum <02457> [is] therein, and

whose scum <02457> is not gone <03318> out of it! bring <03318>

it out piece <05409> by piece <05409>; let no <03808> lot

<01486> fall <05307> upon it.

7 For her blood <01818> is in the midst <08432> of her; she set

<07760> it upon the top <06706> of a rock <05553>; she poured

<08210> it not upon the ground <0776>, to cover <03680> it with

dust <06083>;

8 That it might cause fury <02534> to come <05927> up to take

vengeance <05359>; I have set <05414> her blood <01818> upon the

top <06706> of a rock <05553>, that it should not be covered

<03680>.

9 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Woe <0188> to the bloody <01818> city <05892>! I

will even make the pile <04071> for fire great <01431>.

10 Heap <07235> on wood <06086>, kindle <01814> the fire <0784>,

consume <08552> the flesh <01320>, and spice <07543> it well,

and let the bones <06106> be burned <02787>.

11 Then set <05975> it empty <07385> upon the coals <01513>

thereof, that the brass <05178> of it may be hot <03179>, and

may burn <02787>, and [that] the filthiness <02932> of it may be

molten <05413> in it, [that] the scum <02457> of it may be

consumed <08552>.

12 She hath wearied <03811> [herself] with lies <08383>, and

her great <07227> scum <02457> went <03318> not forth <03318>

out of her: her scum <02457> [shall be] in the fire <0784>.

13 In thy filthiness <02932> [is] lewdness <02154>: because

<03282> I have purged <02891> thee, and thou wast not purged

<02891>, thou shalt not be purged <02891> from thy filthiness

<02932> any more <05750>, till <05704> I have caused my fury

<02534> to rest <05117> upon thee.

14 I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> [it]: it shall come

<0835> to pass, and I will do <06213> [it]; I will not go

<06544> back <06544>, neither <03808> will I spare <02347>,

neither <03808> will I repent <05162>; according to thy ways

<01870>, and according to thy doings <05949>, shall they judge

<08199> thee, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

15. Also the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto

me, saying <0559>,

16 Son <01121> of man <0120>, behold <02005>, I take <03947>

away from thee the desire <04261> of thine eyes <05869> with a

stroke <04046>: yet neither <03808> shalt thou mourn <05594> nor

<03808> weep <01058>, neither <03808> shall thy tears <01832>

run <0935> down.

17 Forbear <01826> to cry <0602>, make <06213> no <03808>

mourning <060> for the dead <04191>, bind <02280> the tire

<06287> of thine head upon thee, and put <07760> on thy shoes

<05275> upon thy feet <07272>, and cover <05844> not [thy] lips

<08222>, and eat <0398> not the bread <03899> of men <0582>.

18 So I spake <01696> unto the people <05971> in the morning

<01242>: and at even <06153> my wife <0802> died <04191>; and I

did <06213> in the morning <01242> as I was commanded <06680>.

19 And the people <05971> said <0559> unto me, Wilt thou not

tell <05046> us what <04100> these <0428> [things are] to us,

that thou doest <06213> [so]?

20 Then I answered <0559> them, The word <01697> of the LORD

<03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

21 Speak <0559> unto the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, Thus

<03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>,

I will profane <02490> my sanctuary <04720>, the excellency

<01347> of your strength <05797>, the desire <04261> of your

eyes <05869>, and that which your soul <05315> pitieth <04263>;

and your sons <01121> and your daughters <01121> whom <0834> ye

have left <05800> shall fall <05307> by the sword <02719>.

22 And ye shall do <06213> as I have done <06213>: ye shall not

cover <05844> [your] lips <08222>, nor <03808> eat <0398> the

bread <03899> of men <0582>.

23 And your tires <06287> [shall be] upon your heads <07218>,

and your shoes <05275> upon your feet <07272>: ye shall not

mourn <05594> nor <03808> weep <01058>; but ye shall pine

<04743> away for your iniquities <05771>, and mourn <05098> one

<0376> toward <0413> another <0250>.

24 Thus Ezekiel <03168> is unto you a sign <04159>: according

to all <03605> that he hath done <06213> shall ye do <06213>:

and when this cometh <0935>, ye shall know <03045> that I [am]

the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

25 Also, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, [shall it] not [be] in

the day <03117> when I take <03947> from them their strength

<04581>, the joy <04885> of their glory <08597>, the desire

<04261> of their eyes <05869>, and that whereupon they set

<04853> their minds <05315>, their sons <01121> and their

daughters <01121>,

26 [That] he that escapeth <06412> in that day <03117> shall

come <0835> unto thee, to cause [thee] to hear <02045> [it] with

[thine] ears <0241>?

27 In that day <03117> shall thy mouth <06310> be opened

<06605> to him which is escaped <06412>, and thou shalt speak

<01696>, and be no <03808> more <05750> dumb <0481>: and thou

shalt be a sign <04159> unto them; and they shall know <03045>

that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

Ezekiel 25

1. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> again unto

me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, set <07760> thy face <06440>

against <0413> the Ammonites <05984>, and prophesy <05012>

against <05921> them;

3 And say <0559> unto the Ammonites <05984>, Hear <08085> the

word <01697> of the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Thus <03541> saith

<0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Because <03282> thou saidst

<0559>, Aha <0253>, against <0413> my sanctuary <04720>, when

<03588> it was profaned <02490>; and against <0413> the land

<0127> of Israel <03478>, when <03588> it was desolate <08074>;

and against <0413> the house <01004> of Judah <03063>, when

<03588> they went into captivity <01473>;

4 Behold <02005>, therefore <03651> I will deliver <05414> thee

to the men <01121> of the east <06924> for a possession <04181>,

and they shall set <03427> their palaces <02918> in thee, and

make <05414> their dwellings <04908> in thee: they shall eat

<0398> thy fruit <06529>, and they shall drink <08354> thy milk

<02461>.

5 And I will make <05414> Rabbah <07237> a stable <05116> for

camels <01581>, and the Ammonites <05984> a couchingplace

<04769> for flocks <06629>: and ye shall know <03045> that I

[am] the LORD <03068>.

6 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;

Because <03282> thou hast clapped <04222> [thine] hands <03027>,

and stamped <07554> with the feet <07272>, and rejoiced <08055>

in heart <05315> with all <03605> thy despite <07589> against

<0413> the land <0127> of Israel <03478>;

7 Behold <02005>, therefore <03651> I will stretch <05186> out

mine hand <03027> upon thee, and will deliver <05414> thee for a

spoil <0957> to the heathen <01471>; and I will cut <03772> thee

off from the people <05971>, and I will cause thee to perish

<06> out of the countries <0776>: I will destroy <08045> thee;

and thou shalt know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

8. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;

Because <03282> that Moab <04124> and Seir <08165> do say <0559>,

Behold <02009>, the house <01004> of Judah <03063> [is] like

unto all <03605> the heathen <01471>;

9 Therefore <03651>, behold <02005>, I will open <06605> the

side <03802> of Moab <04124> from the cities <05892>, from his

cities <05892> [which are] on his frontiers <07097>, the glory

<06643> of the country <0776>, Bethjeshimoth <01020>, Baalmeon

<01186>, and Kiriathaim <07156>,

10 Unto the men <01121> of the east <06924> with the Ammonites

<05984>, and will give <05414> them in possession <04181>, that

the Ammonites <05984> may not be remembered <02142> among the

nations <01471>.

11 And I will execute <06213> judgments <08201> upon Moab

<04124>; and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD

<03068>.

12 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;

Because <03282> that Edom <0123> hath dealt <06213> against the

house <01004> of Judah <03063> by taking vengeance <05359>, and

hath greatly offended <0816>, and revenged <05358> himself upon

them;

13 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; I will also stretch <05186> out mine hand <03027>

upon Edom <0123>, and will cut <03772> off man <0120> and beast

<0929> from it; and I will make <05414> it desolate <02723> from

Teman <08487>; and they of Dedan <01719> shall fall <05307> by

the sword <02719>.

14 And I will lay <05414> my vengeance <05360> upon Edom <0123>

by the hand <03027> of my people <05971> Israel <03478>: and

they shall do <06213> in Edom <0123> according to mine anger

<0639> and according to my fury <02534>; and they shall know

<03045> my vengeance <05360>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>.

15 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;

Because <03282> the Philistines <06430> have dealt <06213> by

revenge <05360>, and have taken vengeance <05359> with a

despiteful <07589> heart <05315>, to destroy <04889> [it] for

the old <05769> hatred <0342>;

16 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I will stretch <05186> out mine

hand <03027> upon the Philistines <06430>, and I will cut

<03772> off the Cherethims <03774>, and destroy <09> the remnant

<07611> of the sea <03220> coast <02348>.

17 And I will execute <06213> great <01419> vengeance <05360>

upon them with furious <02534> rebukes <08433>; and they shall

know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>, when I shall lay

<05414> my vengeance <05360> upon them.

Ezekiel 26

1. And it came <01961> to pass in the eleventh year <08141>, in

the first <0259> [day] of the month <02320>, [that] the word

<01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, because <03282> that Tyrus <06865>

hath said <0559> against <05921> Jerusalem <03389>, Aha <0253>,

she is broken <07665> [that was] the gates <01817> of the people

<05971>: she is turned <05437> unto me: I shall be replenished

<04390>, [now] she is laid waste <02717>:

3 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I [am] against <05921> thee, O

Tyrus <06865>, and will cause many <07227> nations <01471> to

come <05927> up against <05921> thee, as the sea <03220> causeth

his waves <01530> to come <05927> up.

4 And they shall destroy <07843> the walls <02346> of Tyrus

<06865>, and break <02040> down <02040> her towers <04026>: I

will also scrape <05500> her dust <06083> from her, and make

<05414> her like the top <06706> of a rock <05553>.

5 It shall be [a place for] the spreading <04894> of nets

<02764> in the midst <08432> of the sea <03220>: for I have

spoken <01696> [it], saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>:

and it shall become <01961> a spoil <0957> to the nations

<01471>.

6 And her daughters <01121> which <0834> [are] in the field

<07704> shall be slain <02026> by the sword <02719>; and they

shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

7 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;

Behold <02005>, I will bring <0935> upon Tyrus <06865>

Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, a king

<04428> of kings <04428>, from the north <06828>, with horses

<05483>, and with chariots <07393>, and with horsemen <06571>,

and companies <06951>, and much <07227> people <05971>.

8 He shall slay <04191> with the sword <02719> thy daughters

<01121> in the field <07704>: and he shall make <05414> a fort

<01785> against <05921> thee, and cast <08210> a mount <05550>

against <05921> thee, and lift <06965> up the buckler <06793>

against <05921> thee.

9 And he shall set <05414> engines <04239> of war <06904>

against thy walls <02346>, and with his axes <02719> he shall

break <05422> down <05422> thy towers <04026>.

10 By reason of the abundance <08229> of his horses <05483>

their dust <080> shall cover <03680> thee: thy walls <02346>

shall shake <07493> at the noise <06963> of the horsemen <06571>,

and of the wheels <01534>, and of the chariots <07393>, when he

shall enter <0935> into thy gates <08179>, as men enter <0935>

into a city <05892> wherein is made a breach <01234>.

11 With the hoofs <06541> of his horses <05483> shall he tread

<07429> down all <03605> thy streets <02351>: he shall slay

<04191> thy people <05971> by the sword <02719>, and thy strong

<05797> garrisons <04676> shall go <03381> down <03381> to the

ground <0776>.

12 And they shall make <05414> a spoil <07997> of thy riches

<02428>, and make a prey <0962> of thy merchandise <07404>: and

they shall break <02040> down <02040> thy walls <02346>, and

destroy <05422> thy pleasant <02532> houses <01004>: and they

shall lay <07760> thy stones <068> and thy timber <06086> and

thy dust <06083> in the midst <08432> of the water <04325>.

13 And I will cause the noise <01995> of thy songs <07892> to

cease <07673>; and the sound <06963> of thy harps <03658> shall

be no <03808> more <05750> heard <08085>.

14 And I will make thee like the top <06706> of a rock <05558>:

thou shalt be [a place] to spread <04894> nets <02764> upon;

thou shalt be built <01129> no <03808> more <05750>: for I the

LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> [it], saith <05002> the Lord

<0136> GOD <03069>.

15. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> to

Tyrus <06865>; Shall not the isles <0339> shake <07493> at the

sound <06963> of thy fall <04658>, when the wounded <02491> cry

<0602>, when the slaughter <02027> is made in the midst <08432>

of thee?

16 Then all <03605> the princes <05387> of the sea <03220>

shall come <03381> down <03381> from their thrones <03678>, and

lay <05493> away <05493> their robes <04598>, and put <06584>

off their broidered <07553> garments <0899>: they shall clothe

<03847> themselves with trembling <02731>; they shall sit

<03427> upon the ground <0776>, and shall tremble <02729> at

[every] moment <07281>, and be astonished <08074> at thee.

17 And they shall take <05375> up a lamentation <07015> for

thee, and say <0559> to thee, How <0349> art thou destroyed <06>,

[that wast] inhabited <03427> of seafaring <03220> men, the

renowned <01984> city <05892>, which <0834> wast strong <02389>

in the sea <03220>, she and her inhabitants <03427>, which

<0834> cause <05414> their terror <02851> [to be] on all <03605>

that haunt <03427> it!

18 Now <06258> shall the isles <0339> tremble <02729> in the

day <03117> of thy fall <04658>; yea, the isles <0339> that

[are] in the sea <03220> shall be troubled <0926> at thy

departure <03318>.

19 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;

When I shall make <05414> thee a desolate <02717> city <05892>,

like the cities <05892> that are not inhabited <03427>; when I

shall bring <05927> up the deep <08415> upon thee, and great

<07227> waters <04325> shall cover <03680> thee;

20 When I shall bring <03381> thee down <03381> with them that

descend <03381> into the pit <0953>, with the people <05971> of

old <05769> time, and shall set <03427> thee in the low <08482>

parts of the earth <0776>, in places desolate <02723> of old

<05769>, with them that go <03381> down <03381> to the pit

<0953>, that thou be not inhabited <03427>; and I shall set

<05414> glory <06643> in the land <0776> of the living <02416>;

21 I will make <05414> thee a terror <01091>, and thou [shalt

be] no <0369> [more]: though thou be sought <01245> for, yet

shalt thou never be found <04672> again <05750>, saith <05001>

the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 27

1. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> again unto

me, saying <0559>,

2 Now, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, take <05375> up a

lamentation <07015> for Tyrus <06865>;

3 And say <0559> unto Tyrus <06865>, O thou that art situate

<03427> at <05921> the entry <03996> of the sea <03220>, [which

art] a merchant <07402> of the people <05971> for many <07227>

isles <0339>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>; O Tyrus <06865>, thou hast said <0559>, I [am] of

perfect <03632> beauty <03308>.

4 Thy borders <01366> [are] in the midst <03820> of the seas

<03220>, thy builders <01129> have perfected <03634> thy beauty

<03308>.

5 They have made <01129> all <03605> thy [ship] boards <03871>

of fir <01265> trees of Senir <08149>: they have taken <03947>

cedars <0730> from Lebanon <03844> to make <06213> masts <08650>

for thee.

6 [Of] the oaks <0437> of Bashan <01316> have they made <06213>

thine oars <04880>; the company <01323> of the Ashurites <0843>

have made <06213> thy benches <07175> [of] ivory <08127>,

[brought] out of the isles <0339> of Chittim <03794>.

7 Fine linen <08336> with broidered <07553> work <07553> from

Egypt <04714> was that which thou spreadest <04666> forth to be

thy sail <05251>; blue <08504> and purple <0713> from the isles

<0339> of Elishah <0473> was that which covered <04374> thee.

8 The inhabitants <03427> of Zidon <06721> and Arvad <0719>

were thy mariners <07751>: thy wise <02450> [men], O Tyrus

<06865>, [that] were in thee, were thy pilots <02259>.

9 The ancients <02204> of Gebal <01381> and the wise <02450>

[men] thereof were in thee thy calkers: all <03605> the ships

<0591> of the sea <03220> with their mariners <04419> were in

thee to occupy <06148> thy merchandise <04627>.

10 They of Persia <06539> and of Lud <03865> and of Phut

<06316> were in thine army <02428>, thy men <0582> of war

<04421>: they hanged <08518> the shield <04043> and helmet

<03553> in thee; they set <05414> forth thy comeliness <01926>.

11 The men <01121> of Arvad <0719> with thine army <02428>

[were] upon thy walls <02346> round <05439> about, and the

Gammadims <01575> were in thy towers <04026>: they hanged

<08518> their shields <07982> upon thy walls <02346> round

<05439> about; they have made <06213> thy beauty <03308> perfect

<03634>.

12 Tarshish <08659> [was] thy merchant <05503> by reason of the

multitude <07230> of all <03605> [kind of] riches <01952>; with

silver <03701>, iron <01270>, tin <0913>, and lead <05777>, they

traded <05414> in thy fairs <05801>.

thy market <04627>.

and mules <06505>.

15 The men <01121> of Dedan <01719> [were] thy merchants

<07402>; many <07227> isles <0339> [were] the merchandise

<05506> of thine hand <03027>: they brought <07725> thee [for] a

present <0814> horns <07161> of ivory <08127> and ebony <01894>.

16 Syria <0758> [was] thy merchant <05503> by reason of the

they occupied <05414> in thy fairs <05801> with emeralds <05306>,

purple <0713>, and broidered <07553> work <07553>, and fine

linen <0948>, and coral <07215>, and agate <03539>.

17 Judah <03063>, and the land <0776> of Israel <03478>, they

[were] thy merchants <07402>: they traded <05414> in thy market

<04627> wheat <02406> of Minnith <04511>, and Pannag <06436>,

and honey <01706>, and oil <08081>, and balm <06875>.

18 Damascus <01834> [was] thy merchant <05503> in the multitude

<07230> of the wares <04639> of thy making <04639>, for the

multitude <07230> of all <03605> riches <01952>; in the wine

<03196> of Helbon <02463>, and white <06713> wool <06785>.

19 Dan <01835> also and Javan <03120> going <0235> to and fro

<0235> occupied <05414> in thy fairs <05801>: bright <06219>

iron <01270>, cassia <06916>, and calamus <07070>, were in thy

market <04627>.

20 Dedan <01719> [was] thy merchant <07402> in precious <02667>

clothes <0899> for chariots <07396>.

21 Arabia <06152>, and all <03605> the princes <05387> of Kedar

<06938>, they occupied <05503> with thee in lambs <03733>, and

rams <0352>, and goats <06260>: in these [were they] thy

merchants <05503>.

22 The merchants <07402> of Sheba <07614> and Raamah <07484>,

they [were] thy merchants <07402>: they occupied <05414> in thy

fairs <05801> with chief <07218> of all <03605> spices <01314>,

and with all <03605> precious <03368> stones <068>, and gold

<02091>.

merchants <07402> of Sheba <07614>, Asshur <0804>, [and] Chilmad

<03638>, [were] thy merchants <07402>.

24 These <01992> [were] thy merchants <07402> in all <03605>

sorts <04360> [of things], in blue <08504> clothes <01545>, and

broidered <07553> work <07553>, and in chests <01595> of rich

apparel <01264>, bound <02280> with cords <02256>, and made of

cedar <0729>, among thy merchandise <04819>.

25 The ships <0591> of Tarshish <08659> did sing <07788> of

thee in thy market <04627>: and thou wast replenished <04390>,

and made very <03966> glorious <03519> in the midst <03820> of

the seas <03220>.

26. Thy rowers <07751> have brought <0935> thee into great

<07227> waters <04325>: the east <06921> wind <07307> hath

broken <07665> thee in the midst <03820> of the seas <03220>.

27 Thy riches <01952>, and thy fairs <05801>, thy merchandise

<04627>, thy mariners <04419>, and thy pilots <02259>, thy

calkers, and the occupiers <06148> of thy merchandise <04267>,

and all <03605> thy men <0582> of war <04421>, that [are] in

thee, and in all <03605> thy company <06951> which <0834> [is]

in the midst <08432> of thee, shall fall <05307> into the midst

<03820> of the seas <03220> in the day <03117> of thy ruin

<04658>.

28 The suburbs <04054> shall shake <07493> at the sound <06963>

of the cry <02201> of thy pilots <02259>.

29 And all <03605> that handle <08610> the oar <04880>, the

mariners <04419>, [and] all <03605> the pilots <02259> of the

sea <03220>, shall come <03381> down <03381> from their ships

<0591>, they shall stand <05975> upon the land <0776>;

30 And shall cause their voice <06963> to be heard <08085>

against <05921> thee, and shall cry <02199> bitterly <04751>,

and shall cast <05927> up dust <06083> upon their heads <07218>,

they shall wallow <06428> themselves in the ashes <0665>:

31 And they shall make themselves utterly bald <07139> for thee,

and gird <02296> them with sackcloth <08242>, and they shall

weep <01058> for thee with bitterness <04751> of heart <05315>

[and] bitter <04751> wailing <04553>.

32 And in their wailing <05204> they shall take <05375> up a

lamentation <07015> for thee, and lament <06969> over <05921>

thee, [saying], What <04100> [city is] like Tyrus <06865>, like

the destroyed <01822> in the midst <08432> of the sea <03220>?

33 When thy wares <05801> went <03318> forth <03318> out of the

seas <03220>, thou filledst <07646> many <07227> people <05971>;

thou didst enrich <06238> the kings <04428> of the earth <0776>

with the multitude <07230> of thy riches <06239> and of thy

merchandise <04627>.

34 In the time <06256> [when] thou shalt be broken <07665> by

the seas <03220> in the depths <04615> of the waters <04325> thy

merchandise <04627> and all <03605> thy company <06951> in the

midst <08432> of thee shall fall <05307>.

35 All <03605> the inhabitants <03427> of the isles <0339>

shall be astonished <08074> at <05921> thee, and their kings

<04428> shall be sore <08178> afraid <08175>, they shall be

troubled <07481> in [their] countenance <06440>.

36 The merchants <05503> among the people <05971> shall hiss

<08319> at <05921> thee; thou shalt be a terror <01091>, and

never [shalt be] any more.

Ezekiel 28

1. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> again unto

me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, say <0559> unto the prince <05057>

of Tyrus <06865>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>; Because <03282> thine heart <03820> [is] lifted <01361>

up, and thou hast said <0559>, I [am] a God <0410>, I sit

<03427> [in] the seat <04186> of God <0430>, in the midst

<03820> of the seas <03220>; yet thou [art] a man <0120>, and

not God <0410>, though thou set <05414> thine heart <03820> as

the heart <03820> of God <0430>:

3 Behold <02009>, thou [art] wiser <02450> than Daniel <01840>;

there is no <03808> secret <05640> that they can hide <06004>

from thee:

4 With thy wisdom <02451> and with thine understanding <08394>

thou hast gotten <06213> thee riches <02428>, and hast gotten

<06213> gold <02091> and silver <03701> into thy treasures

<0214>:

5 By thy great <07230> wisdom <02451> [and] by thy traffick

<07404> hast thou increased <07235> thy riches <02428>, and

thine heart <03824> is lifted <01361> up because of thy riches

<02428>:

6 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Because <03282> thou hast set <05414> thine heart

<03820> as the heart <03820> of God <0430>;

7 Behold <02005>, therefore <03651> I will bring <0935>

strangers <02114> upon thee, the terrible <06184> of the nations

<01471>: and they shall draw <07324> their swords <02719>

against <05921> the beauty <03308> of thy wisdom <02451>, and

they shall defile <02490> thy brightness <03314>.

8 They shall bring <03381> thee down <03381> to the pit <07845>,

and thou shalt die <04191> the deaths <04463> of [them that

are] slain <02491> in the midst <03820> of the seas <03220>.

9 Wilt thou yet <0559> say <0559> before <06440> him that

slayeth <02026> thee, I [am] God <0430>? but thou [shalt be] a

man <0120>, and no <03808> God <0410>, in the hand <03027> of

him that slayeth <02490> thee.

10 Thou shalt die <04191> the deaths <04194> of the

uncircumcised <06189> by the hand <03027> of strangers <02114>:

for I have spoken <01696> [it], saith <05002> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>.

11. Moreover the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961>

unto me, saying <0559>,

12 Son <01121> of man <0120>, take <05375> up a lamentation

<07015> upon the king <04428> of Tyrus <06865>, and say <0559>

unto him, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;

Thou sealest <02856> up the sum <08508>, full <04392> of wisdom

<02451>, and perfect <03632> in beauty <03308>.

13 Thou hast been <01961> in Eden <05731> the garden <01588> of

God <0430>; every <03605> precious <03368> stone <068> [was] thy

covering <04540>, the sardius <0124>, topaz <06357>, and the

diamond <03095>, the beryl <08658>, the onyx <07718>, and the

jasper <03471>, the sapphire <05601>, the emerald <05306>, and

the carbuncle <01304>, and gold <02091>: the workmanship <04399>

of thy tabrets <08596> and of thy pipes <05345> was prepared

<03559> in thee in the day <03117> that thou wast created

<01254>.

14 Thou [art] the anointed <04473> cherub <03742> that covereth

<05526>; and I have set <05414> thee [so]: thou wast <01961>

upon the holy <06944> mountain <02022> of God <0430>; thou hast

walked <01980> up and down in the midst <08432> of the stones

<068> of fire <0784>.

15 Thou [wast] perfect <08549> in thy ways <01870> from the day

<03117> that thou wast created <01254>, till <05704> iniquity

<05766> was found <04672> in thee.

16 By the multitude <07230> of thy merchandise <07404> they

have filled <04390> the midst <08432> of thee with violence

<02555>, and thou hast sinned <02398>: therefore I will cast

<02490> thee as profane <02490> out of the mountain <02022> of

God <0430>: and I will destroy <06> thee, O covering <05526>

cherub <03742>, from the midst <08432> of the stones <068> of

fire <0784>.

17 Thine heart <03820> was lifted <01361> up because of thy

beauty <03308>, thou hast corrupted <07843> thy wisdom <02451>

by reason <05921> of thy brightness <03314>: I will cast <07993>

thee to the ground <0776>, I will lay <05414> thee before

<06440> kings <04428>, that they may behold <07200> thee.

18 Thou hast defiled <02490> thy sanctuaries <04720> by the

multitude <07230> of thine iniquities <05771>, by the iniquity

<05766> of thy traffick <07404>; therefore will I bring <03318>

forth <03318> a fire <0784> from the midst <08432> of thee, it

shall devour <0398> thee, and I will bring <05414> thee to ashes

<0665> upon the earth <0776> in the sight <05869> of all <03605>

them that behold <07200> thee.

19 All <03605> they that know <03045> thee among the people

<05971> shall be astonished <08074> at <05921> thee: thou shalt

be a terror <01091>, and never [shalt] thou [be] any more.

20. Again the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961>

unto me, saying <0559>,

21 Son <01121> of man <0120>, set <07760> thy face <06440>

against <05921> Zidon <06721>, and prophesy <05012> against

<05921> it,

22 And say <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I [am] against <05921> thee, O

Zidon <06721>; and I will be glorified <03513> in the midst

<08432> of thee: and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the

LORD <03068>, when I shall have executed <06213> judgments

<08201> in her, and shall be sanctified <06942> in her.

23 For I will send <07971> into her pestilence <01698>, and

blood <01818> into her streets <07339>; and the wounded <02491>

shall be judged <05307> in the midst <08432> of her by the sword

<02719> upon her on every <05437> side <05439>; and they shall

know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

24 And there shall be no <03808> more <05750> a pricking

<03992> brier <05544> unto the house <01004> of Israel <03478>,

nor [any] grieving <03510> thorn <06975> of all <03605> [that

are] round <05439> about them, that despised <07590> them; and

they shall know <03045> that I [am] the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

25 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; When

I shall have gathered <06908> the house <01004> of Israel

<03478> from the people <05971> among whom <0834> they are

scattered <06327>, and shall be sanctified <06942> in them in

the sight <05869> of the heathen <01471>, then shall they dwell

<03427> in their land <0127> that I have given <05414> to my

servant <05650> Jacob <03290>.

26 And they shall dwell <03427> safely <0983> therein <05921>,

and shall build <01129> houses <01004>, and plant <05193>

vineyards <03754>; yea, they shall dwell <03427> with confidence

<0983>, when I have executed <06213> judgments <08201> upon all

<03605> those that despise <07590> them round <05439> about them;

and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068> their

God <0430>.

Ezekiel 29

1. In the tenth <06224> year <08141>, in the tenth <06224>

[month], in the twelfth [day] of the month <02320>, the word

<01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, set <07760> thy face <06440>

against <05921> Pharaoh <06547> king <04428> of Egypt <04714>,

and prophesy <05012> against <05921> him, and against <05921>

all <03605> Egypt <04714>:

3 Speak <01696>, and say <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the

Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I [am] against <05921>

thee, Pharaoh <06547> king <04428> of Egypt <04714>, the great

<01419> dragon <08577> that lieth <06437> in the midst <08432>

of his rivers <02975>, which hath said <0559>, My river <02975>

[is] mine own, and I have made <06213> [it] for myself.

4 But I will put <05414> hooks <02397> in thy jaws <03895>, and

I will cause the fish <01710> of thy rivers <02975> to stick

<01692> unto thy scales <07193>, and I will bring <05927> thee

up out of the midst <08432> of thy rivers <02975>, and all

<03605> the fish <01710> of thy rivers <02975> shall stick

<01692> unto thy scales <07193>.

5 And I will leave <05203> thee [thrown] into the wilderness

<04057>, thee and all <03605> the fish <01710> of thy rivers

<02975>: thou shalt fall <05307> upon the open <06440> fields

<07704>; thou shalt not be brought <0622> together, nor <03808>

gathered <06908>: I have given <05414> thee for meat <0402> to

the beasts <02416> of the field <0776> and to the fowls <05775>

of the heaven <08064>.

6 And all <03605> the inhabitants <03427> of Egypt <04714>

shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>, because <03282>

they have been <01961> a staff <04938> of reed <07070> to the

house <01004> of Israel <03478>.

7 When they took <08610> hold <08610> of thee by thy hand

<03709>, thou didst break <07533>, and rend <01234> all <03605>

their shoulder <03802>: and when they leaned <08172> upon thee,

thou brakest <07665>, and madest all <03605> their loins <04975>

to be at a stand <05976>.

8. Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I will bring <0935> a sword <02719>

upon thee, and cut <03772> off man <0120> and beast <0929> out

of thee.

9 And the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> shall be desolate

<08077> and waste <02723>; and they shall know <03045> that I

[am] the LORD <03068>: because <03282> he hath said <0559>, The

river <02975> [is] mine, and I have made <06213> [it].

10 Behold <02005>, therefore <03651> I [am] against <0413> thee,

and against <0413> thy rivers <02975>, and I will make <05414>

the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> utterly waste <02723> [and]

desolate <08077>, from the tower <04024> of Syene <05482> even

unto the border <01366> of Ethiopia <03568>.

11 No <03808> foot <07272> of man <0120> shall pass <05674>

through it, nor <03808> foot <07272> of beast <0929> shall pass

<05674> through it, neither <03808> shall it be inhabited

<03427> forty <0705> years <08141>.

12 And I will make <05414> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>

desolate <08077> in the midst <08432> of the countries <0776>

[that are] desolate <08074>, and her cities <05892> among

<08432> the cities <05892> [that are] laid waste <02717> shall

be desolate <08077> forty <0705> years <08141>: and I will

scatter <06327> the Egyptians <04714> among the nations <01471>,

and will disperse <02219> them through the countries <0776>.

13 Yet <03588> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>; At the end <07093> of forty <0705> years <08141> will I

gather <06908> the Egyptians <04714> from the people <05971>

whither they were scattered <06327>:

14 And I will bring <07725> again <07725> the captivity <07622>

of Egypt <04714>, and will cause them to return <07725> [into]

the land <0776> of Pathros <06624>, into <05921> the land <0776>

of their habitation <04351>; and they shall be there <08033> a

base <08217> kingdom <04467>.

15 It shall be the basest <08217> of the kingdoms <04467>;

neither <03808> shall it exalt <05375> itself any more <05750>

above <05921> the nations <01471>: for I will diminish <04591>

them, that they shall no <03808> more rule <07287> over <05921>

the nations <01471>.

16 And it shall be no <03808> more <05750> the confidence

<04009> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, which bringeth

<02142> [their] iniquity <05771> to remembrance <02142>, when

<03588> they shall look <06437> after <0310> them: but they

shall know <03045> that I [am] the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

17. And it came <01961> to pass in the seven <07651> and

twentieth <06242> year <08141>, in the first <07223> [month], in

the first <0259> [day] of the month <02320>, the word <01697> of

the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

18 Son <01121> of man <0120>, Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king

<04428> of Babylon <0894> caused his army <02428> to serve

<05647> a great <01419> service <05656> against <0413> Tyrus

<06865>: every <03605> head <07218> [was] made bald <07139>, and

every <03605> shoulder <03802> [was] peeled <04803>: yet had

<01961> he no <03808> wages <07939>, nor his army <02428>, for

Tyrus <06865>, for the service <05656> that he had served

<05647> against <05921> it:

19 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I will give <05414> the land <0776>

of Egypt <04714> unto Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of

Babylon <0894>; and he shall take <05375> her multitude <01995>,

and take <07997> her spoil <07997>, and take <0962> her prey

<0957>; and it shall be the wages <07939> for his army <02428>.

20 I have given <05414> him the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>

[for] his labour <06468> wherewith <0834> he served <05647>

against it, because <0834> they wrought <06213> for me, saith

<05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

21 In that day <03117> will I cause the horn <07161> of the

house <01004> of Israel <03478> to bud <06779> forth, and I will

give <05414> thee the opening <06610> of the mouth <06310> in

the midst <08432> of them; and they shall know <03045> that I

[am] the LORD <03068>.

Ezekiel 30

1. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> again unto

me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, prophesy <05012> and say <0559>,

Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Howl

<03213> ye, Woe <01929> worth the day <03117>!

3 For the day <03117> [is] near <07138>, even the day <03117>

of the LORD <03068> [is] near <07138>, a cloudy <06051> day

<03117>; it shall be the time <06256> of the heathen <01471>.

4 And the sword <02719> shall come <0935> upon Egypt <04714>,

and great pain <02479> shall be in Ethiopia <03568>, when the

slain <02491> shall fall <05307> in Egypt <04714>, and they

shall take <03947> away her multitude <01995>, and her

foundations <03247> shall be broken <02040> down <02040>.

5 Ethiopia <03568>, and Libya <06316>, and Lydia <03865>, and

all <03605> the mingled <06154> people, and Chub <03552>, and

the men <01121> of the land <0776> that is in league <01285>,

shall fall <05307> with them by the sword <02719>.

6 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>; They also that

uphold <05564> Egypt <04714> shall fall <05307>; and the pride

<01347> of her power <05797> shall come <03381> down <03381>:

from the tower <04024> of Syene <05482> shall they fall <05307>

in it by the sword <02719>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>.

7 And they shall be desolate <08074> in the midst <08432> of

the countries <0776> [that are] desolate <08074>, and her cities

<05892> shall be in the midst <08432> of the cities <05892>

[that are] wasted <02717>.

8 And they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>,

when I have set <05414> a fire <0784> in Egypt <04714>, and

[when] all <03605> her helpers <05826> shall be destroyed

<07665>.

9 In that day <03117> shall messengers <04397> go <03318> forth

<03318> from me in ships <06716> to make the careless <0983>

Ethiopians <03569> afraid <02729>, and great pain <02479> shall

come <01961> upon them, as in the day <03117> of Egypt <04714>:

for, lo <02009>, it cometh <0935>.

10 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I

will also make the multitude <01995> of Egypt <04714> to cease

<07673> by the hand <03027> of Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king

<04428> of Babylon <0894>.

11 He and his people <05971> with him, the terrible <06184> of

the nations <01471>, shall be brought <0935> to destroy <07843>

the land <0776>: and they shall draw <07324> their swords

<02719> against <05921> Egypt <04714>, and fill <04390> the land

<0776> with the slain <02491>.

12 And I will make the rivers <02975> dry <02724>, and sell

<04376> the land <0776> into the hand <03027> of the wicked

<07451>: and I will make the land <0776> waste <08074>, and all

<04393> that is therein <04393>, by the hand <03027> of

strangers <02114>: I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> [it].

13 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I

will also destroy <06> the idols <01544>, and I will cause

[their] images <0457> to cease <07673> out of Noph <05297>; and

there shall be no <03808> more <05750> a prince <05387> of the

land <0776> of Egypt <04714>: and I will put <05414> a fear

<03374> in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.

14 And I will make Pathros <06624> desolate <08074>, and will

set <05414> fire <0784> in Zoan <06814>, and will execute

<06213> judgments <08201> in No.

15 And I will pour <08210> my fury <02534> upon Sin <05512>,

the strength <04581> of Egypt <04714>; and I will cut <03772>

off the multitude <01995> of No.

16 And I will set <05414> fire <0784> in Egypt <04714>: Sin

<05512> shall have great <02342> pain <02342>, and No shall be

rent <01234> asunder, and Noph <05297> [shall have] distresses

<06862> daily <03119>.

17 The young <0970> men of Aven <0206> and of Pibeseth <06364>

shall fall <05307> by the sword <02719>: and these <02007>

[cities] shall go <03212> into captivity <07628>.

18 At Tehaphnehes <08471> also the day <03117> shall be

darkened <02821>, when I shall break <07665> there <08033> the

yokes <04133> of Egypt <04714>: and the pomp <01347> of her

strength <05797> shall cease <07673> in her: as for her, a cloud

<06051> shall cover <03680> her, and her daughters <01121> shall

go <03212> into captivity <07628>.

19 Thus will I execute <06213> judgments <08201> in Egypt

<04714>: and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD

<03068>.

20. And it came <01961> to pass in the eleventh year <08141>,

in the first <07223> [month <02320>], in the seventh <07651>

[day] of the month <02320>, [that] the word <01697> of the LORD

<03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

21 Son <01121> of man <0120>, I have broken <07665> the arm

<02220> of Pharaoh <06547> king <04428> of Egypt <04714>; and,

lo <02009>, it shall not be bound <02280> up to be healed, to

put <07760> a roller <02848> to bind <02280> it, to make it

strong <02388> to hold <08610> the sword <02719>.

22 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I [am] against <0413> Pharaoh

<06547> king <04428> of Egypt <04714>, and will break <07665>

his arms <02220>, the strong <02389>, and that which was broken

<07665>; and I will cause the sword <02719> to fall <05307> out

of his hand <03027>.

23 And I will scatter <06327> the Egyptians <04714> among the

nations <01471>, and will disperse <02219> them through the

countries <0776>.

24 And I will strengthen <02388> the arms <02220> of the king

<04428> of Babylon <0894>, and put <05414> my sword <02719> in

his hand <03027>: but I will break <07665> Pharaoh's <06547>

arms <02220>, and he shall groan <05008> before <06440> him with

the groanings <05009> of a deadly wounded <02491> [man].

25 But I will strengthen <02388> the arms <02220> of the king

<04428> of Babylon <0894>, and the arms <02220> of Pharaoh

<06547> shall fall <05307> down; and they shall know <03045>

that I [am] the LORD <03068>, when I shall put <05414> my sword

<02719> into the hand <03027> of the king <04428> of Babylon

<0894>, and he shall stretch <05186> it out upon the land <0776>

of Egypt <04714>.

26 And I will scatter <06327> the Egyptians <04714> among the

nations <01471>, and disperse <02219> them among the countries

<0776>; and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

Ezekiel 31

1. And it came <01961> to pass in the eleventh year <08141>, in

the third <07992> [month], in the first <0259> [day] of the

month <02320>, [that] the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came

<01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, speak <0559> unto Pharaoh <06547>

king <04428> of Egypt <04714>, and to his multitude <01995>;

Whom art thou like <01819> in thy greatness <01433>?

3 Behold <02009>, the Assyrian <0804> [was] a cedar <0730> in

Lebanon <03844> with fair <03303> branches <06057>, and with a

shadowing <06751> shroud <02793>, and of an high <01362> stature

<06967>; and his top <06788> was among <0996> the thick <05688>

boughs <05688>.

4 The waters <04325> made him great <01431>, the deep <08415>

set <07311> him up on high <07311> with her rivers <05104>

running <01980> round <05439> about his plants <04302>, and sent

<07971> out her little <08585> rivers <08585> unto all <03605>

the trees <06086> of the field <07704>.

5 Therefore his height <06967> was exalted <01361> above all

<03605> the trees <06086> of the field <07704>, and his boughs

<05634> were multiplied <07235>, and his branches <06288> became

<0748> long <0748> because of the multitude <07227> of waters

<04325>, when he shot <07971> forth.

6 All <03605> the fowls <05775> of heaven <08064> made their

nests <07077> in his boughs <05589>, and under <08478> his

branches <06288> did all <03605> the beasts <02416> of the field

<07704> bring <03205> forth <03205> their young, and under his

shadow <06738> dwelt <03427> all <03605> great <07227> nations

<01471>.

7 Thus was he fair <03302> in his greatness <01433>, in the

length <0753> of his branches <01808>: for his root <08328> was

by great <07227> waters <04325>.

8 The cedars <0730> in the garden <01588> of God <0430> could

not hide <06004> him: the fir <01265> trees were not like

<01819> his boughs <05589>, and the chesnut <06196> trees were

not like <01819> his branches <06288>; nor any <03605> tree

<06086> in the garden <01588> of God <0430> was like <01819>

unto him in his beauty <03308>.

9 I have made him fair <03303> by the multitude <07230> of his

branches <01808>: so that all <03605> the trees <06086> of Eden

<05731>, that [were] in the garden <01588> of God <0430>, envied

<07065> him.

10. Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Because thou hast lifted <01361> up thyself in

height <06967>, and he hath shot <07971> up his top <06788>

among <0996> the thick <05688> boughs <05688>, and his heart

<03824> is lifted <07311> up in his height <01363>;

11 I have therefore delivered <05414> him into the hand <03027>

of the mighty <0410> one of the heathen <01471>; he shall surely

deal <06213> with him: I have driven <01644> him out for his

wickedness <07562>.

12 And strangers <02114>, the terrible <06184> of the nations

<01471>, have cut <03772> him off, and have left <05203> him:

upon the mountains <02022> and in all <03605> the valleys

<01516> his branches <01808> are fallen <05307>, and his boughs

<06288> are broken <07665> by all <03605> the rivers <0650> of

the land <0776>; and all <03605> the people <05971> of the earth

<0776> are gone <03381> down from his shadow <06738>, and have

left <05203> him.

13 Upon his ruin <04658> shall all <03605> the fowls <05775> of

the heaven <08064> remain <07931>, and all <03605> the beasts

<02416> of the field <07704> shall be upon his branches <06288>:

14 To the end <04616> that none <03808> of all <03605> the

trees <06086> by the waters <04325> exalt <01361> themselves for

their height <06967>, neither <03808> shoot <05414> up their top

<06788> among <0413> the thick <05688> boughs <05688>, neither

<03808> their trees <0352> stand <05975> up in their height

<01363>, all <03605> that drink <08354> water <04325>: for they

are all <03605> delivered <05414> unto death <04194>, to the

nether <08482> parts of the earth <0776>, in the midst <08432>

of the children <01121> of men <0120>, with them that go <03381>

down <03381> to the pit <0953>.

15 Thus saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <0430>; In the day

<03117> when he went <03381> down <03381> to the grave <07585> I

caused a mourning <056>: I covered <03680> the deep <08415> for

him, and I restrained <04513> the floods <05104> thereof, and

the great <07227> waters <04325> were stayed <03607>: and I

caused Lebanon <03844> to mourn <06937> for him, and all <03605>

the trees <06086> of the field <07704> fainted <05969> for him.

16 I made the nations <01471> to shake <07493> at the sound

<06963> of his fall <04658>, when I cast <03381> him down

<03381> to hell <07585> with them that descend <03381> into the

pit <0953>: and all <03605> the trees <06086> of Eden <05731>,

the choice <04005> and best <02896> of Lebanon <03844>, all

<03605> that drink <08354> water <04325>, shall be comforted

<05162> in the nether <08482> parts of the earth <0776>.

17 They also <01571> went <03381> down <03381> into hell

<07585> with him unto [them that be] slain <02491> with the

sword <02719>; and [they that were] his arm <02220>, [that]

dwelt <03427> under his shadow <06738> in the midst <08432> of

the heathen <01471>.

18 To whom <04310> art thou thus <03602> like <01819> in glory

<03519> and in greatness <01433> among the trees <06086> of Eden

<05731>? yet shalt thou be brought <03381> down <03381> with the

trees <06086> of Eden <05731> unto the nether <08482> parts of

the earth <0776>: thou shalt lie <07901> in the midst <08432> of

the uncircumcised <06189> with [them that be] slain <02491> by

the sword <02719>. This <01931> [is] Pharaoh <06547> and all

<03605> his multitude <01995>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>.

Ezekiel 32

1. And it came <01961> to pass in the twelfth year <08141>, in

the twelfth month <02320>, in the first <0259> [day] of the

month <02320>, [that] the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came

<01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, take <05375> up a lamentation

<07015> for Pharaoh <06547> king <04428> of Egypt <04714>, and

say <0559> unto him, Thou art like a young <03715> lion <03715>

of the nations <01471>, and thou [art] as a whale <08565> in the

seas <03220>: and thou camest <01518> forth <01518> with thy

rivers <05104>, and troubledst <01804> the waters <04325> with

thy feet <07272>, and fouledst <07515> their rivers <05104>.

3 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I will

therefore spread <06566> out my net <07568> over <05921> thee

with a company <06951> of many <07227> people <05971>; and they

shall bring <05927> thee up in my net <02764>.

4 Then will I leave <05203> thee upon the land <0776>, I will

cast <02904> thee forth upon the open <06440> field <07704>, and

will cause all <03605> the fowls <05775> of the heaven <08064>

to remain <07931> upon thee, and I will fill <07646> the beasts

<02416> of the whole <03605> earth <0776> with thee.

5 And I will lay <05414> thy flesh <01320> upon the mountains

<02022>, and fill <04390> the valleys <01516> with thy height

<07419>.

6 I will also water <08248> with thy blood <01818> the land

<0776> wherein thou swimmest <06824>, [even] to the mountains

<02022>; and the rivers <0650> shall be full <04390> of thee.

7 And when I shall put <03518> thee out, I will cover <03680>

the heaven <08064>, and make the stars <03556> thereof dark

<06937>; I will cover <03680> the sun <08121> with a cloud

<06051>, and the moon <03394> shall not give her light <0216>.

8 All <03605> the bright <03974> lights <03974> of heaven

<08064> will I make dark <06937> over <05921> thee, and set

<05414> darkness <02822> upon thy land <0776>, saith <05002> the

Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

9 I will also vex <03707> the hearts <03820> of many <07227>

people <05971>, when I shall bring <0935> thy destruction

<07667> among the nations <01471>, into <05921> the countries

<0776> which <0834> thou hast not known <03045>.

10 Yea, I will make many <07227> people <05971> amazed <08074>

at thee, and their kings <04428> shall be horribly <08178>

afraid <08175> for thee, when I shall brandish <05774> my sword

<02719> before <05921> them; and they shall tremble <02729> at

[every] moment <07281>, every man <0376> for his own life

<05315>, in the day <03117> of thy fall <04658>.

11 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;

The sword <02719> of the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> shall

come <0935> upon thee.

12 By the swords <02719> of the mighty <01368> will I cause thy

multitude <01995> to fall <04658>, the terrible <06184> of the

nations <01471>, all <03605> of them: and they shall spoil

<07703> the pomp <01347> of Egypt <04714>, and all <03605> the

multitude <01995> thereof shall be destroyed <08045>.

13 I will destroy <06> also all <03605> the beasts <0929>

thereof from beside <05921> the great <07227> waters <04325>;

neither <03808> shall the foot <07272> of man <0120> trouble

<04103> them any more <05750>, nor <03808> the hoofs <06541> of

beasts <0929> trouble <01804> them.

14 Then <0227> will I make their waters <04325> deep <08257>,

and cause their rivers <05104> to run <03212> like oil <08081>,

saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

15 When I shall make <05414> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>

desolate <08077>, and the country <0776> shall be destitute

<08047> of that whereof it was full <04393>, when I shall smite

<05221> all <03605> them that dwell <03427> therein, then shall

they know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

16 This <01931> [is] the lamentation <07015> wherewith they

shall lament <06969> her: the daughters <01121> of the nations

<01471> shall lament <06969> her: they shall lament <06969> for

her, [even] for Egypt <04714>, and for all <03605> her multitude

<01995>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

17. It came <01961> to pass also in the twelfth year <08141>,

in the fifteenth <06240> [day] of the month <02320>, [that] the

word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying

<0559>,

18 Son <01121> of man <0120>, wail <05091> for the multitude

<01995> of Egypt <04714>, and cast <03381> them down <03381>,

[even] her, and the daughters <01121> of the famous <0117>

nations <01471>, unto the nether <08482> parts of the earth

<0776>, with them that go <03381> down <03381> into the pit

<0953>.

19 Whom <04310> dost thou pass in beauty <05276>? go <03381>

down <03381>, and be thou laid <07901> with the uncircumcised

<06189>.

20 They shall fall <04658> in the midst <08432> of [them that

are] slain <02491> by the sword <02719>: she is delivered

<05414> to the sword <02719>: draw <04900> her and all <03605>

her multitudes <01995>.

21 The strong <0410> among the mighty <01368> shall speak

<01696> to him out of the midst <08432> of hell <07585> with

them that help <05826> him: they are gone <03381> down <03381>,

they lie <07901> uncircumcised <06189>, slain <02491> by the

sword <02719>.

22 Asshur <0804> [is] there <08033> and all <03605> her company

<06951>: his graves <06913> [are] about <05439> him: all <03605>

of them slain <02491>, fallen <05307> by the sword <02719>:

23 Whose <0834> graves <06913> are set <05414> in the sides

<03411> of the pit <0953>, and her company <06951> is round

<05439> about her grave <06900>: all <03605> of them slain

<02491>, fallen <05307> by the sword <02719>, which <0834>

caused <05414> terror <02851> in the land <0776> of the living

<02416>.

24 There <08033> [is] Elam <05867> and all <03605> her

multitude <01995> round <05439> about her grave <06900>, all

<03605> of them slain <02491>, fallen <05307> by the sword

<02719>, which <0834> are gone <03381> down <03381>

uncircumcised <06189> into <0413> the nether <08482> parts of

the earth <0776>, which <0834> caused <05414> their terror

<02851> in the land <0776> of the living <02416>; yet have they

borne <05375> their shame <03639> with them that go <03381> down

<03381> to the pit <0953>.

25 They have set <05414> her a bed <04904> in the midst <08432>

of the slain <02491> with all <03605> her multitude <01995>: her

graves <06913> [are] round <05439> about him: all <03605> of

them uncircumcised <06189>, slain <02491> by the sword <02719>:

though <03588> their terror <02851> was caused <05414> in the

land <0776> of the living <02416>, yet have they borne <05375>

their shame <03639> with them that go <03381> down <03381> to

the pit <0953>: he is put <05414> in the midst <08432> of [them

that be] slain <02491>.

26 There <08033> [is] Meshech <04902>, Tubal <08422>, and all

<03605> her multitude <01995>: her graves <06913> [are] round

<05439> about him: all <03605> of them uncircumcised <06189>,

slain <02490> by the sword <02719>, though <03588> they caused

<05414> their terror <02851> in the land <0776> of the living

<02416>.

27 And they shall not lie <07901> with the mighty <01368> [that

are] fallen <05307> of the uncircumcised <06189>, which <0834>

are gone <03381> down <03381> to hell <07585> with their weapons

<03627> of war <04421>: and they have laid <05414> their swords

<02719> under <08478> their heads <07218>, but their iniquities

<05771> shall be upon their bones <06106>, though <03588> [they

were] the terror <02851> of the mighty <01368> in the land

<0776> of the living <02416>.

28 Yea, thou shalt be broken <07665> in the midst <08432> of

the uncircumcised <06189>, and shalt lie <07901> with [them that

are] slain <02491> with the sword <02719>.

29 There <08033> [is] Edom <0123>, her kings <04428>, and all

<03605> her princes <05387>, which <0834> with their might

<01369> are laid <05414> by [them that were] slain <02491> by

the sword <02719>: they shall lie <07901> with the uncircumcised

<06189>, and with them that go <03381> down <03381> to the pit

<0953>.

30 There <08033> [be] the princes <05257> of the north <06828>,

all <03605> of them, and all <03605> the Zidonians <06722>,

which <0834> are gone <03381> down <03381> with the slain

<02491>; with their terror <02851> they are ashamed <0954> of

their might <01369>; and they lie <07901> uncircumcised <06189>

with [them that be] slain <02491> by the sword <02719>, and bear

<05375> their shame <03639> with them that go <03381> down

<03381> to the pit <0953>.

31 Pharaoh <06547> shall see <07200> them, and shall be

comforted <05162> over <05921> all <03605> his multitude <01995>,

[even] Pharaoh <06547> and all <03605> his army <02428> slain

<02491> by the sword <02719>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>.

32 For I have caused <05414> my terror <02851> in the land

<0776> of the living <02416>: and he shall be laid <07901> in

the midst <08432> of the uncircumcised <06189> with [them that

are] slain <02491> with the sword <02719>, [even] Pharaoh

<06547> and all <03605> his multitude <01995>, saith <05002> the

Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 33

1. Again the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto

me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, speak <01696> to the children

<01121> of thy people <05971>, and say <0559> unto them, When

<03588> I bring <0935> the sword <02719> upon a land <0776>, if

the people <05971> of the land <0776> take <03947> a man <0376>

of their coasts <07097>, and set <05414> him for their watchman

<06822>:

3 If when he seeth <07200> the sword <02719> come <0935> upon

the land <0776>, he blow <08628> the trumpet <07782>, and warn

<02094> the people <05971>;

4 Then whosoever heareth <08085> the sound <06963> of the

trumpet <07782>, and taketh not warning <02094>; if the sword

<02719> come <0935>, and take <03947> him away, his blood

<01818> shall be upon his own head <07218>.

5 He heard <08085> the sound <06963> of the trumpet <07782>,

and took not warning <02094>; his blood <01818> shall be upon

him. But he that taketh warning <02094> shall deliver <04422>

his soul <05315>.

6 But if <03588> the watchman <06822> see <07200> the sword

<02719> come <0935>, and blow <08628> not the trumpet <07782>,

and the people <05971> be not warned <02094>; if the sword

<02719> come <0935>, and take <03947> [any] person <05315> from

among them, he is taken <03947> away in his iniquity <05771>;

but his blood <01818> will I require <01875> at the watchman's

<06822> hand <03027>.

7 So thou, O son <01121> of man <0120>, I have set <05414> thee

a watchman <06822> unto the house <01004> of Israel <03478>;

therefore thou shalt hear <08085> the word <01697> at my mouth

<06310>, and warn <02094> them from me.

8 When I say <0559> unto the wicked <07563>, O wicked <07563>

[man], thou shalt surely die <04191>; if thou dost not speak

<01696> to warn <02094> the wicked <07563> from his way <01870>,

that wicked <07563> [man] shall die <04191> in his iniquity

<05771>; but his blood <01818> will I require <01245> at thine

hand <03027>.

9 Nevertheless, if <03588> thou warn <02094> the wicked <07563>

of his way <01870> to turn <07725> from it; if he do not turn

<07725> from his way <01870>, he shall die <04191> in his

iniquity; but thou hast delivered <05337> thy soul <05315>.

10. Therefore, O thou son <01121> of man <0120>, speak <0559>

unto the house <01004> of Israel <03478>; Thus <03651> ye speak

<0559>, saying <0559>, If <03588> our transgressions <06588> and

our sins <02403> [be] upon us, and we pine <04743> away in them,

how <0349> should we then live <02421>?

11 Say <0559> unto them, [As] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the

Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, I have no <0518> pleasure <02654> in

the death <04194> of the wicked <07563>; but that the wicked

<07563> turn <07725> from his way <01870> and live <02421>: turn

<07725> ye, turn <07725> ye from your evil <07451> ways <01870>;

for why <04100> will ye die <04191>, O house <01004> of Israel

<03478>?

12 Therefore, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, say <0559> unto

the children <01121> of thy people <05971>, The righteousness

<06666> of the righteous <06662> shall not deliver <05337> him

in the day <03117> of his transgression <06588>: as for the

wickedness <07564> of the wicked <07563>, he shall not fall

<03782> thereby in the day <03117> that he turneth <07725> from

his wickedness <07562>; neither <03808> shall the righteous

<06662> be able <03201> to live <02421> for his [righteousness]

in the day <03117> that he sinneth <02398>.

13 When I shall say <0559> to the righteous <06662>, [that] he

shall surely live <02421>; if he trust <0982> to his own

righteousness <06666>, and commit <06213> iniquity <05766>, all

<03605> his righteousnesses <06666> shall not be remembered

<02142>; but for his iniquity <05766> that he hath committed

<06213>, he shall die <04191> for it.

14 Again, when I say <0559> unto the wicked <07563>, Thou shalt

surely die <04191>; if he turn <07725> from his sin <02403>, and

do <06213> that which is lawful <04941> and right <06666>;

15 [If] the wicked <07563> restore <07725> the pledge <02258>,

give <07999> again <07999> that he had robbed <05100>, walk

<01980> in the statutes <02708> of life <02416>, without <01115>

committing <06213> iniquity <05766>; he shall surely live

<02421>, he shall not die <04191>.

16 None <03808> of his sins <02403> that he hath committed

<02398> shall be mentioned <02142> unto him: he hath done

<06213> that which is lawful <04941> and right <06666>; he shall

surely live <02421>.

17 Yet the children <01121> of thy people <05971> say <0559>,

The way <01870> of the Lord <0136> is not equal <08505>: but as

for them, their way <01870> is not equal <08505>.

18 When the righteous <06662> turneth <07725> from his

righteousness <06666>, and committeth <06213> iniquity <05766>,

he shall even die <04191> thereby.

19 But if the wicked <07563> turn <07725> from his wickedness

<07564>, and do <06213> that which <0834> is lawful <04941> and

right <06666>, he shall live <02421> thereby.

20 Yet ye say <0559>, The way <01870> of the Lord <0136> is not

equal <08505>. O ye house <01004> of Israel <03478>, I will

judge <08199> you every <0376> one <0376> after his ways <01870>.

21. And it came <01961> to pass in the twelfth year <08141> of

our captivity <01546>, in the tenth <06224> [month], in the

fifth <02568> [day] of the month <02320>, [that] one that had

escaped <06412> out of Jerusalem <03389> came <0935> unto me,

saying <0559>, The city <05892> is smitten <05221>.

22 Now the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> was upon me in the

evening <06153>, afore <06440> he that was escaped <06412> came

<0935>; and had opened <06605> my mouth <06310>, until <05704>

he came <0935> to me in the morning <01242>; and my mouth

<06310> was opened <06605>, and I was no <03808> more <05750>

dumb <0481>.

23 Then the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto

me, saying <0559>,

24 Son <01121> of man <0120>, they that inhabit <03427> those

<0428> wastes <02723> of the land <0127> of Israel <03478> speak

<0559>, saying <0559>, Abraham <085> was one <0259>, and he

inherited <03423> the land <0776>: but we [are] many <07227>;

the land <0776> is given <05414> us for inheritance <04181>.

25 Wherefore <03651> say <0559> unto them, Thus <03541> saith

<0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Ye eat <0398> with the blood

<01818>, and lift <05375> up your eyes <05869> toward <0413>

your idols <01544>, and shed <08210> blood <01818>: and shall ye

possess <03423> the land <0776>?

26 Ye stand <05975> upon your sword <02719>, ye work <06213>

abomination <08441>, and ye defile <02930> every <0376> one

<0376> his neighbour's <07453> wife <0802>: and shall ye possess

<03423> the land <0776>?

27 Say <0559> thou thus <03541> unto them, Thus <03541> saith

<0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; [As] I live <02416>, surely

they that [are] in the wastes <02723> shall fall <05307> by the

sword <02719>, and him that [is] in the open <06440> field

<07704> will I give <05414> to the beasts <02416> to be devoured

<0398>, and they that [be] in the forts <04679> and in the caves

<04631> shall die <04191> of the pestilence <01698>.

28 For I will lay <05414> the land <0776> most desolate <08077>,

and the pomp <01347> of her strength <05797> shall cease

<07673>; and the mountains <02022> of Israel <03478> shall be

desolate <08074>, that none <0369> shall pass <05674> through.

29 Then shall they know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>,

when I have laid <05414> the land <0776> most desolate <08077>

because <05921> of all <03605> their abominations <08441> which

<0834> they have committed <06213>.

30. Also, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, the children <01121>

of thy people <05971> still are talking <01696> against thee by

the walls <07023> and in the doors <06607> of the houses <01004>,

and speak <01696> one <02297> to another <0259>, every <0376>

one <0376> to his brother <0251>, saying <0559>, Come <0935>, I

pray <04994> you, and hear <08085> what <04100> is the word

<01697> that cometh <03318> forth <03318> from the LORD <03068>.

31 And they come <0935> unto thee as the people <05971> cometh

<0935>, and they sit <03427> before <06440> thee [as] my people

<05971>, and they hear <08085> thy words <01697>, but they will

not do <06213> them: for with their mouth <06310> they shew

<06213> much love <05690>, [but] their heart <03820> goeth

<01980> after <0310> their covetousness <01215>.

32 And, lo <02009>, thou [art] unto them as a very <05690>

lovely <05690> song <07892> of one that hath a pleasant <03303>

voice <06963>, and can play <05059> well on an instrument: for

they hear <08085> thy words <01697>, but they do <06213> them

not.

33 And when this cometh <0935> to pass, (lo, it will come

<0935>,) then shall they know <03045> that a prophet <05030>

hath been <01961> among <08432> them.

Ezekiel 34

1. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto

me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, prophesy <05012> against <05921>

the shepherds <07462> of Israel <03478>, prophesy <05012>, and

say <0559> unto them, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069> unto the shepherds <07462>; Woe <01945> [be] to the

shepherds <07462> of Israel <03478> that do feed <07462>

themselves! should not the shepherds <07462> feed <07462> the

flocks <06629>?

3 Ye eat <0398> the fat <02459>, and ye clothe <03847> you with

the wool <06785>, ye kill <02076> them that are fed <01277>:

[but] ye feed <07462> not the flock <06629>.

4 The diseased <02456> have ye not strengthened <02388>,

neither <03808> have ye healed <07495> that which was sick

<02470>, neither <03808> have ye bound <02280> up [that which

was] broken <07665>, neither <03808> have ye brought <07725>

again <07725> that which was driven <05080> away, neither

<03808> have ye sought <01245> that which was lost <06>; but

with force <02394> and with cruelty <06531> have ye ruled

<07287> them.

5 And they were scattered <06327>, because [there is] no

<01097> shepherd <07462>: and they became <01961> meat <0402> to

all <03605> the beasts <02416> of the field <07704>, when they

were scattered <06327>.

6 My sheep <06629> wandered <07686> through all <03605> the

mountains <02022>, and upon every <03605> high <07311> hill

<01389>: yea, my flock <06629> was scattered <06327> upon all

<03605> the face <06440> of the earth <0776>, and none <0369>

did search <01875> or seek <01245> [after them].

7. Therefore <03651>, ye shepherds <07462>, hear <08085> the

word <01697> of the LORD <03068>;

8 [As] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>, surely because <03282> my flock <06629> became <01961>

a prey <0957>, and my flock <06629> became <01961> meat <0402>

to every <03605> beast <02416> of the field <07704>, because

[there was] no <0369> shepherd <07462>, neither <03808> did my

shepherds <07462> search <01875> for my flock <06629>, but the

shepherds <07462> fed <07462> themselves, and fed <07462> not my

flock <06629>;

9 Therefore <03651>, O ye shepherds <07462>, hear <08085> the

word <01697> of the LORD <03068>;

10 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;

Behold <02005>, I [am] against <0413> the shepherds <07462>; and

I will require <01875> my flock <06629> at their hand <03027>,

and cause them to cease <07673> from feeding <07462> the flock

<06629>; neither <03808> shall the shepherds <07462> feed

<07462> themselves <0853> any more <05750>; for I will deliver

<05337> my flock <06629> from their mouth <06310>, that they may

not be meat <0402> for them.

11 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;

Behold <02005>, I, [even] I, will both search <01875> my sheep

<06629>, and seek <01239> them out.

12 As a shepherd <07462> seeketh <01243> out his flock <05739>

in the day <03117> that he is among <08432> his sheep <06629>

[that are] scattered <06566>; so <03651> will I seek <01239> out

my sheep <06629>, and will deliver <05337> them out of all

<03605> places <04725> where they have been scattered <06327> in

the cloudy <06051> and dark <06205> day <03117>.

13 And I will bring <03318> them out from the people <05971>,

and gather <06908> them from the countries <0776>, and will

bring <0935> them to their own land <0127>, and feed <07462>

them upon the mountains <02022> of Israel <03478> by the rivers

<0650>, and in all <03605> the inhabited <04186> places of the

country <0776>.

14 I will feed <07462> them in a good <02896> pasture <04829>,

and upon the high <04791> mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>

shall their fold <05116> be: there <08033> shall they lie

<07257> in a good <02896> fold <05116>, and [in] a fat <08082>

pasture <04829> shall they feed <07462> upon the mountains

<02022> of Israel <03478>.

15 I will feed <07462> my flock <06629>, and I will cause them

to lie <07257> down <07901>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>.

16 I will seek <01245> that which was lost <06>, and bring

<07725> again <07725> that which was driven <05080> away, and

will bind <02280> up [that which was] broken <07665>, and will

strengthen <02388> that which was sick <02470>: but I will

destroy <08045> the fat <08082> and the strong <02389>; I will

feed <07462> them with judgment <04941>.

17. And [as for] you, O my flock <06629>, thus <03541> saith

<0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I judge

<08199> between <0996> cattle <07716> and cattle <07716>,

between the rams <0352> and the he goats <06260>.

18 [Seemeth <05869> it] a small <04592> thing unto you to have

eaten <07462> up the good <02896> pasture <04829>, but ye must

tread <07429> down with your feet <07272> the residue <03499> of

your pastures <04829>? and to have drunk <08354> of the deep

<04950> waters <04325>, but ye must foul <07515> the residue

<03498> with your feet <07272>?

19 And [as for] my flock <06629>, they eat <07462> that which

ye have trodden <07429> with your feet <07272>; and they drink

<08354> that which ye have fouled <04833> with your feet <07272>.

20 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069> unto them; Behold <02005>, I, [even] I, will judge

<08199> between <0996> the fat <01277> cattle <07716> and

between <0996> the lean <07330> cattle <07716>.

21 Because <03282> ye have thrust <01920> with side <06654> and

with shoulder <03802>, and pushed <05055> all <03605> the

diseased <02456> with your horns <07161>, till <05704> ye have

scattered <06327> them abroad <02351>;

22 Therefore will I save <03467> my flock <06629>, and they

shall no <03808> more <05750> be a prey <0957>; and I will judge

<08199> between <0996> cattle <07716> and cattle <07716>.

23 And I will set <06965> up one <0259> shepherd <07462> over

<05921> them, and he shall feed <07462> them, [even <0853>] my

servant <05650> David <01732>; he shall feed <07462> them, and

he shall be their shepherd <07462>.

24 And I the LORD <03068> will be their God <0430>, and my

servant <05650> David <01732> a prince <05387> among <08432>

them; I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> [it].

25 And I will make <03772> with them a covenant <01285> of

peace <07965>, and will cause the evil <07451> beasts <02416> to

cease <07673> out of the land <0776>: and they shall dwell

<03427> safely <0983> in the wilderness <04057>, and sleep

<03462> in the woods <03264>.

26 And I will make <05414> them and the places round <05439>

about my hill <01389> a blessing <01293>; and I will cause the

shower <01653> to come <03381> down <03381> in his season

<06256>; there shall be showers <01653> of blessing <01293>.

27 And the tree <06086> of the field <07704> shall yield

<05414> her fruit <06529>, and the earth <0776> shall yield

<05414> her increase <02981>, and they shall be safe <0983> in

their land <0127>, and shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD

<03068>, when I have broken <07665> the bands <04133> of their

yoke <05923>, and delivered <05337> them out of the hand <03027>

of those that served <05647> themselves of them.

28 And they shall no <03808> more <05750> be a prey <0957> to

the heathen <01471>, neither <03808> shall the beast <02416> of

the land <0776> devour <0398> them; but they shall dwell <03427>

safely <0983>, and none <0369> shall make [them] afraid <02729>.

29 And I will raise <06965> up for them a plant <04302> of

renown <08034>, and they shall be no <03808> more <05750>

consumed <0622> with hunger <07457> in the land <0776>, neither

<03808> bear <05375> the shame <03639> of the heathen <01471>

any more <05750>.

30 Thus shall they know <03045> that I the LORD <03068> their

God <0430> [am] with them, and [that] they, [even] the house

<01004> of Israel <03478>, [are] my people <05971>, saith

<05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

31 And ye my flock <06629>, the flock <06629> of my pasture

<04830>, [are] men <0120>, [and] I [am] your God <0430>, saith

<05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 35

1. Moreover the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961>

unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, set <07760> thy face <06440>

against <05921> mount <02022> Seir <08165>, and prophesy <05012>

against <05921> it,

3 And say <0559> unto it, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord

<0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, O mount <02022> Seir <08165>,

I [am] against <0413> thee, and I will stretch <05186> out mine

hand <03027> against <05921> thee, and I will make <05414> thee

most desolate <08077>.

4 I will lay <07760> thy cities <05892> waste <02723>, and thou

shalt be desolate <08077>, and thou shalt know <03045> that I

[am] the LORD <03068>.

5 Because <03588> thou hast had <01961> a perpetual <05769>

hatred <0342>, and hast shed <05064> [the blood of] the children

<01121> of Israel <03478> by the force <03027> of the sword

<02719> in the time <06256> of their calamity <0343>, in the

time <06256> [that their] iniquity <05771> [had] an end <07093>:

6 Therefore <03651>, [as] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the

Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, I will prepare <06213> thee unto blood

<01818>, and blood <01818> shall pursue <07291> thee: sith

<0518> thou hast not hated <08130> blood <01818>, even blood

<01818> shall pursue <07291> thee.

7 Thus will I make <05414> mount <02022> Seir <08165> most

<08077> desolate <08077>, and cut <03772> off from it him that

passeth <05674> out and him that returneth <07725>.

8 And I will fill <04390> his mountains <02022> with his slain

<02491> [men]: in thy hills <01389>, and in thy valleys <01516>,

and in all <03605> thy rivers <0650>, shall they fall <05307>

that are slain <02491> with the sword <02719>.

9 I will make <05414> thee perpetual <05769> desolations

<08077>, and thy cities <05892> shall not return <03427>: and ye

shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

10. Because <03282> thou hast said <0559>, These two <08147>

nations <01471> and these two <08147> countries <0776> shall be

mine, and we will possess <03423> it; whereas the LORD <03068>

was there <08033>:

11 Therefore <03651>, [as] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the

Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, I will even do <06213> according to

thine anger <0639>, and according to thine envy <07068> which

<0834> thou hast used <06213> out of thy hatred <08135> against

them; and I will make <06213> myself known <03045> among them,

when <0834> I have judged <08199> thee.

12 And thou shalt know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>,

[and that] I have heard <08085> all <03605> thy blasphemies

<05007> which <0834> thou hast spoken <0559> against <05921> the

mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>, saying <0559>, They are

laid desolate <08074>, they are given <05414> us to consume

<0402>.

13 Thus with your mouth <06310> ye have boasted <01431> against

<05921> me, and have multiplied <06280> your words <01697>

against <05921> me: I have heard <08085> [them].

14 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; When

the whole <03605> earth <0776> rejoiceth <08055>, I will make

<06213> thee desolate <08077>.

15 As thou didst rejoice <08057> at the inheritance <05159> of

the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, because it was desolate

<08074>, so <03651> will I do <06213> unto thee: thou shalt be

desolate <08077>, O mount <02022> Seir <08165>, and all <03605>

Idumea <0123>, [even] all <03605> of it: and they shall know

<03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

Ezekiel 36

1. Also, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, prophesy <05012> unto

the mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>, and say <0559>, Ye

mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>, hear <08085> the word

<01697> of the LORD <03068>:

2 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;

Because <03282> the enemy <0341> hath said <0559> against

<05921> you, Aha <0253>, even the ancient <05769> high <01116>

places are ours in possession <04181>:

3 Therefore <03651> prophesy <05012> and say <0559>, Thus

<03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Because

<03282> they have made [you] desolate <08074>, and swallowed

<07602> you up on every <05437> side <05439>, that ye might be a

possession <04181> unto the residue <07611> of the heathen

<01471>, and ye are taken <05927> up in the lips <08193> of

talkers <03956>, and [are] an infamy <01681> of the people

<05971>:

4 Therefore <03651>, ye mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>,

hear <08085> the word <01697> of the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;

Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> to the

mountains <02022>, and to the hills <01389>, to the rivers

<0650>, and to the valleys <01516>, to the desolate <08076>

wastes <02723>, and to the cities <05892> that are forsaken

<05800>, which <0834> became <01961> a prey <0957> and derision

<03932> to the residue <07611> of the heathen <01471> that [are]

round <05439> about;

5 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Surely in the fire <0784> of my jealousy <07068>

have I spoken <01696> against <05921> the residue <07611> of the

heathen <01471>, and against <05921> all <03605> Idumea <0123>,

which <0834> have appointed <05414> my land <0776> into their

possession <04181> with the joy <08057> of all <03605> [their]

heart <03824>, with despiteful <07589> minds <05315>, to cast

<04054> it out for a prey <0957>.

6 Prophesy <05012> therefore <03651> concerning <05921> the

land <0127> of Israel <03478>, and say <0559> unto the mountains

<02022>, and to the hills <01389>, to the rivers <0650>, and to

the valleys <01516>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I have spoken <01696> in my

jealousy <07068> and in my fury <02534>, because <03282> ye have

borne <05375> the shame <03639> of the heathen <01471>:

7 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; I have lifted <05375> up mine hand <03027>, Surely

the heathen <01471> that [are] about <05439> you, they shall

bear <05375> their shame <03639>.

8 But ye, O mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>, ye shall shoot

<05414> forth your branches <06057>, and yield <05375> your

fruit <06529> to my people <05971> of Israel <03478>; for they

are at <07126> hand <07126> to come <0935>.

9 For, behold <02005>, I [am] for you, and I will turn <06437>

unto you, and ye shall be tilled <05647> and sown <02232>:

10 And I will multiply <07235> men <0120> upon you, all <03605>

the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, [even] all <03605> of it:

and the cities <05892> shall be inhabited <03427>, and the

wastes <02723> shall be builded <01129>:

11 And I will multiply <07235> upon you man <0120> and beast

<0929>; and they shall increase <07235> and bring <06509> fruit

<06509>: and I will settle <03427> you after your old <06927>

estates, and will do better <02896> [unto you] than at your

beginnings <07221>: and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the

LORD <03068>.

12 Yea, I will cause men <0120> to walk <03212> upon you, [even

<0853>] my people <05971> Israel <03478>; and they shall possess

<03423> thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance <05159>, and

thou shalt no <03808> more <05750> henceforth bereave <07921>

them [of men].

13 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;

Because <03282> they say <0559> unto you, Thou [land] devourest

<0398> up men <0120>, and hast bereaved <07921> thy nations

<01471>;

14 Therefore <03651> thou shalt devour <0398> men <0120> no

<03808> more <05750>, neither <03808> bereave thy nations

<01471> any more <05750>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>.

15 Neither <03808> will I cause [men] to hear <08085> in thee

the shame <03639> of the heathen <01471> any more <05750>,

neither <03808> shalt thou bear <05375> the reproach <02781> of

the people <05971> any more <05750>, neither <03808> shalt thou

cause thy nations <01471> to fall <03782> any more <05750>,

saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

16. Moreover the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961>

unto me, saying <0559>,

17 Son <01121> of man <0120>, when the house <01004> of Israel

<03478> dwelt <03427> in their own land <0127>, they defiled

<02930> it by their own way <01870> and by their doings <05949>:

their way <01870> was before <06440> me as the uncleanness

<02932> of a removed <05079> woman.

18 Wherefore I poured <08210> my fury <02534> upon them for the

blood <01818> that they had shed <08210> upon the land <0776>,

and for their idols <01544> [wherewith] they had polluted

<02930> it:

19 And I scattered <06327> them among the heathen <01471>, and

they were dispersed <02219> through the countries <0776>:

according to their way <01870> and according to their doings

<05949> I judged <08199> them.

20 And when they entered <0935> unto the heathen <01471>,

whither they went <0935>, they profaned <02490> my holy <06944>

name <08034>, when they said <0559> to them, These <04228> [are]

the people <05971> of the LORD <03068>, and are gone <03318>

forth <03318> out of his land <0776>.

21 But I had pity <02550> for mine holy <06944> name <08034>,

which <0834> the house <01004> of Israel <03478> had profaned

<02490> among the heathen <01471>, whither they went <0935>.

22 Therefore <03651> say <0559> unto the house <01004> of

Israel <03478>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>; I do <06213> not [this] for your sakes <06616>, O house

<01004> of Israel <03478>, but for mine holy <06944> name's

<08034> sake, which <0834> ye have profaned <02490> among the

heathen <01471>, whither ye went <0935>.

23 And I will sanctify <06942> my great <01419> name <08034>,

which was profaned <02490> among the heathen <01471>, which

<0834> ye have profaned <02490> in the midst <08432> of them;

and the heathen <01471> shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD

<03068>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, when I shall

be sanctified <06942> in you before their eyes <05869>.

24 For I will take <03947> you from among the heathen <01471>,

and gather <06908> you out of all <03605> countries <0776>, and

will bring <0935> you into <0413> your own land <0127>.

25. Then will I sprinkle <02236> clean <02889> water <04325>

upon you, and ye shall be clean <02891>: from all <03605> your

filthiness <02932>, and from all <03605> your idols <01544>,

will I cleanse <02891> you.

26 A new <02319> heart <03820> also will I give <05414> you,

and a new <02319> spirit <07307> will I put <05414> within

<07130> you: and I will take <05493> away <05493> the stony

<068> heart <03820> out of your flesh <01320>, and I will give

<05414> you an heart <03820> of flesh <01320>.

27 And I will put <05414> my spirit <07307> within <07130> you,

and cause you to walk <03212> in my statutes <02706>, and ye

shall keep <08104> my judgments <04941>, and do <06213> [them].

28 And ye shall dwell <03427> in the land <0776> that I gave

<05414> to your fathers <01>; and ye shall be my people <05971>,

and I will be your God <0430>.

29 I will also save <03467> you from all <03605> your

uncleannesses <02932>: and I will call <07121> for the corn

<01715>, and will increase <07235> it, and lay <05414> no

<03808> famine <07458> upon you.

30 And I will multiply <07235> the fruit <06529> of the tree

<06086>, and the increase <08570> of the field <07704>, that ye

shall receive <03947> no <03808> more <05750> reproach <02781>

of famine <07458> among the heathen <01471>.

31 Then shall ye remember <02142> your own evil <07451> ways

<01870>, and your doings <04611> that [were] not good <02896>,

and shall lothe <06962> yourselves in your own sight <06440> for

your iniquities <05771> and for your abominations <08441>.

32 Not for your sakes <06616> do <06213> I [this], saith

<05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, be it known <03045> unto

you: be ashamed <0954> and confounded <03637> for your own ways

<01870>, O house <01004> of Israel <03478>.

33 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; In

the day <03117> that I shall have cleansed <02891> you from all

<03605> your iniquities <05771> I will also cause [you] to dwell

<03427> in the cities <05892>, and the wastes <02723> shall be

builded <01129>.

34 And the desolate <08074> land <0776> shall be tilled <05647>,

whereas it lay desolate <08077> in the sight <05869> of all

<03605> that passed <05674> by.

35 And they shall say <0559>, This <01977> land <0776> that was

desolate <08074> is become <01961> like the garden <01588> of

Eden <05731>; and the waste <02720> and desolate <08074> and

ruined <02040> cities <05892> [are become] fenced <01219>, [and]

are inhabited <03427>.

36 Then the heathen <01471> that are left <07604> round <05439>

about you shall know <03045> that I the LORD <03068> build

<01129> the ruined <02040> [places, and] plant <05193> that that

was desolate <08074>: I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696>

[it], and I will do <06213> [it].

37 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I

will yet <05750> [for] this be enquired <01875> of by the house

<01004> of Israel <03478>, to do <06213> [it] for them; I will

increase <07235> them with men <0120> like a flock <06629>.

38 As the holy <06944> flock <06629>, as the flock <06629> of

Jerusalem <03389> in her solemn <04150> feasts <04150>; so

<03651> shall the waste <02720> cities <05892> be filled <04390>

with flocks <06629> of men <0120>: and they shall know <03045>

that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

Ezekiel 37

1. The hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> was upon me, and

carried <03318> me out in the spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068>,

and set <05117> me down in the midst <08432> of the valley

<01237> which <01958> [was] full <04392> of bones <06106>,

2 And caused me to pass <05674> by them round <05439> about:

and, behold <02009>, [there were] very <03966> many <07227> in

the open <06440> valley <01237>; and, lo <02009>, [they were]

very <03966> dry <03002>.

3 And he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, can

these <04228> bones <06106> live <02421>? And I answered <0559>,

O Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, thou knowest <03045>.

4 Again he said <0559> unto me, Prophesy <05012> upon these

<04228> bones <06106>, and say <0559> unto them, O ye dry

<03002> bones <06106>, hear <08085> the word <01697> of the LORD

<03068>.

5 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> unto

these <04228> bones <06106>; Behold <02009>, I will cause breath

<07307> to enter <0935> into you, and ye shall live <02421>:

6 And I will lay <05414> sinews <01517> upon you, and will

bring <05927> up flesh <01320> upon you, and cover <07159> you

with skin <05785>, and put <05414> breath <07307> in you, and ye

shall live <02421>; and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the

LORD <03068>.

7 So I prophesied <05012> as I was commanded <06680>: and as I

prophesied <05012>, there was a noise <06963>, and behold

<02009> a shaking <07494>, and the bones <06106> came <07126>

together, bone <06106> to his bone <06106>.

8 And when I beheld <07200>, lo <02009>, the sinews <01517> and

the flesh <01320> came <05927> up upon them, and the skin

<05785> covered <07159> them above <04605>: but [there was] no

<0369> breath <07307> in them.

9 Then said <0559> he unto me, Prophesy <05012> unto the wind

<07307>, prophesy <05012>, son <01121> of man <0120>, and say

<0559> to the wind <07307>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord

<0136> GOD <03069>; Come <0935> from the four <0702> winds

<07307>, O breath <07307>, and breathe <05301> upon these

<04228> slain <02026>, that they may live <02421>.

10 So I prophesied <05012> as he commanded <06680> me, and the

breath <07307> came <0935> into them, and they lived <02421>,

and stood <05975> up upon their feet <07272>, an exceeding

<03966> great <01419> army <02428>.

11 Then he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>,

these <04228> bones <06106> are the whole <03605> house <01004>

of Israel <03478>: behold <02009>, they say <0559>, Our bones

<06106> are dried <03001>, and our hope <08615> is lost <06>: we

are cut <01504> off for our parts <02506>.

12 Therefore <03651> prophesy <05012> and say <0559> unto them,

Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold

<02009>, O my people <05971>, I will open <06605> your graves

<06913>, and cause you to come <05927> up out of your graves

<06913>, and bring <0935> you into <0413> the land <0127> of

Israel <03478>.

13 And ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>, when

I have opened <06605> your graves <06913>, O my people <05971>,

and brought <05927> you up out of your graves <06913>,

14 And shall put <05414> my spirit <07307> in you, and ye shall

live <02421>, and I shall place <03241> you in your own land

<0127>: then shall ye know <03045> that I the LORD <03068> have

spoken <01696> [it], and performed <06213> [it], saith <05002>

the LORD <0136>.

15. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> again

unto me, saying <0559>,

16 Moreover, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, take <03947> thee

one <0259> stick <06086>, and write <03789> upon it, For Judah

<03063>, and for the children <01121> of Israel <03478> his

companions <02270>: then take <03947> another <0259> stick

<06086>, and write <03789> upon it, For Joseph <03130>, the

stick <06086> of Ephraim <0669>, and [for] all <03605> the house

<01004> of Israel <03478> his companions <02270>:

17 And join <07126> them one <0259> to another <0259> into one

<0259> stick <06086>; and they shall become <01961> one <0259>

in thine hand <03027>.

18 And when <03588> the children <01121> of thy people <05971>

shall speak <0559> unto thee, saying <0559>, Wilt thou not shew

<05046> us what <04100> thou [meanest] by these <04228>?

19 Say <01696> unto them, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord

<0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02009>, I will take <03947> the

stick <06086> of Joseph <03130>, which <0834> [is] in the hand

<03027> of Ephraim <0669>, and the tribes <07626> of Israel

<03478> his fellows <02270>, and will put <05414> them with him,

[even <0853>] with the stick <06086> of Judah <03063>, and make

<06213> them one <0259> stick <06086>, and they shall be one

<0259> in mine hand <03027>.

20 And the sticks <06086> whereon thou writest <03789> shall be

in thine hand <03027> before their eyes <05869>.

21 And say <01696> unto them, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the

Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02009>, I will take <03947> the

children <01121> of Israel <03478> from among <0996> the heathen

<01471>, whither they be gone <01980>, and will gather <06908>

them on every <05437> side <05439>, and bring <0935> them into

<0413> their own land <0127>:

22 And I will make <06213> them one <0259> nation <01471> in

the land <0776> upon the mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>;

and one <0259> king <04428> shall be king <04428> to them all

<03605>: and they shall be no <03808> more <05750> two <08147>

nations <01471>, neither <03808> shall they be divided <02673>

into two <08147> kingdoms <04467> any more <05750> at all:

23 Neither <03808> shall they defile <02930> themselves any

more <05750> with their idols <01544>, nor with their detestable

<08251> things, nor with any <03605> of their transgressions

<06588>: but I will save <03467> them out of all <03605> their

dwellingplaces <04186>, wherein <0834> they have sinned <02398>,

and will cleanse <02891> them: so shall they be my people

<05971>, and I will be their God <0430>.

24 And David <01732> my servant <05650> [shall be] king <04428>

over <05921> them; and they all <03605> shall have <01961> one

<0259> shepherd <07462>: they shall also walk <03212> in my

judgments <04941>, and observe <08104> my statutes <02708>, and

do <06213> them.

25 And they shall dwell <03427> in the land <0776> that I have

given <05414> unto Jacob <03290> my servant <05650>, wherein

<0834> your fathers <01> have dwelt <03427>; and they shall

dwell <03427> therein, [even] they, and their children <01121>,

and their children's <01121> children <01121> for ever <05769>:

and my servant <05650> David <01732> [shall be] their prince

<05387> for ever <05769>.

26 Moreover I will make <03772> a covenant <01285> of peace

<07965> with them; it shall be an everlasting <05769> covenant

<01285> with them: and I will place <05414> them, and multiply

<07235> them, and will set <05414> my sanctuary <04720> in the

midst <08432> of them for evermore <05769>.

27 My tabernacle <04908> also shall be with them: yea, I will

be their God <0430>, and they shall be my people <05971>.

28 And the heathen <01471> shall know <03045> that I the LORD

<03068> do sanctify <06942> Israel <03478>, when my sanctuary

<04720> shall be in the midst <08432> of them for evermore

<05769>.

Ezekiel 38

1. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto

me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, set <07760> thy face <06440>

against <0413> Gog <01463>, the land <0776> of Magog <04031>,

the chief <07218> prince <05387> of Meshech <04902> and Tubal

<08422>, and prophesy <05012> against <05921> him,

3 And say <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069>; Behold <02005>, I [am] against <0413> thee, O Gog

<01463>, the chief <07218> prince <05387> of Meshech <04902> and

Tubal <08422>:

4 And I will turn <07725> thee back <07725>, and put <05414>

hooks <02397> into thy jaws <03895>, and I will bring <03318>

thee forth <03318>, and all <03605> thine army <02428>, horses

<05483> and horsemen <06571>, all <03605> of them clothed

<03847> with all <03605> sorts <04358> [of armour <03627>, even]

a great <07227> company <06951> [with] bucklers <06793> and

shields <04043>, all <03605> of them handling <08610> swords

<02719>:

5 Persia <06539>, Ethiopia <03568>, and Libya <06316> with them;

all <03605> of them with shield <04043> and helmet <03553>:

6 Gomer <01586>, and all <03605> his bands <0102>; the house

<01004> of Togarmah <08425> of the north <06828> quarters

<03411>, and all <03605> his bands <0102>: [and] many <07227>

people <05971> with thee.

7 Be thou prepared <03559>, and prepare <03559> for thyself,

thou, and all <03605> thy company <06951> that are assembled

<06950> unto thee, and be thou a guard <04929> unto them.

8 After many <07227> days <03117> thou shalt be visited <06485>:

in the latter <0319> years <08141> thou shalt come <0935> into

<0413> the land <0776> [that is] brought <07725> back <07725>

from the sword <02719>, [and is] gathered <06908> out of many

<07227> people <05971>, against <05921> the mountains <02022> of

Israel <03478>, which <0834> have been <01961> always <08548>

waste <02723>: but it is brought <03318> forth <03318> out of

the nations <01471>, and they shall dwell <03427> safely <0983>

all <03605> of them.

9 Thou shalt ascend <05927> and come <0935> like a storm

<07722>, thou shalt be like a cloud <06051> to cover <03680> the

land <0776>, thou, and all <03605> thy bands <0102>, and many

<07227> people <05971> with thee.

10 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; It

shall also come <01961> to pass, [that] at the same <01931> time

<03117> shall things <01697> come <05927> into <05921> thy mind

<03824>, and thou shalt think <02803> an evil <07451> thought

<04284>:

11 And thou shalt say <0559>, I will go <05927> up to the land

<0776> of unwalled villages <06519>; I will go <0935> to them

that are at rest <08252>, that dwell <03427> safely <0983>, all

<03605> of them dwelling <03427> without <0369> walls <02346>,

and having neither <0369> bars <01280> nor gates <01817>,

12 To take <07997> a spoil <07998>, and to take <0962> a prey

<0957>; to turn <07725> thine hand <03027> upon the desolate

<02723> places [that are now] inhabited <03427>, and upon the

people <05971> [that are] gathered <0622> out of the nations

<01471>, which have gotten <06213> cattle <04735> and goods

<07075>, that dwell <03427> in the midst <02872> of the land

<0776>.

13 Sheba <07614>, and Dedan <01719>, and the merchants <05503>

of Tarshish <08659>, with all <03605> the young <03715> lions

<03715> thereof, shall say <0559> unto thee, Art thou come

<0935> to take <07997> a spoil <07998>? hast thou gathered

<06950> thy company <06951> to take <0962> a prey <0957>? to

carry <05375> away silver <03701> and gold <02091>, to take

<03947> away cattle <04735> and goods <07075>, to take <03947> a

great <01419> spoil <07998>?

14. Therefore <03651>, son <01121> of man <0120>, prophesy

<05012> and say <0559> unto Gog <01463>, Thus <03541> saith

<0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; In that day <03117> when my

people <05971> of Israel <03478> dwelleth <03427> safely <0983>,

shalt thou not know <03045> [it]?

15 And thou shalt come <0935> from thy place <04725> out of the

north <06828> parts <03411>, thou, and many <07227> people

<05971> with thee, all <03605> of them riding <07392> upon

horses <05483>, a great <01419> company <06951>, and a mighty

<07227> army <02428>:

16 And thou shalt come <05927> up against <05921> my people

<05971> of Israel <03478>, as a cloud <06051> to cover <03680>

the land <0776>; it shall be in the latter <0319> days <03117>,

and I will bring <0935> thee against <05921> my land <0776>,

that the heathen <01471> may know <03045> me, when I shall be

sanctified <06942> in thee, O Gog <01463>, before their eyes

<05869>.

17 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; [Art]

thou he of whom <0834> I have spoken <01696> in old <06931> time

<03117> by my servants <05650> the prophets <05030> of Israel

<03478>, which prophesied <05012> in those <01992> days <03117>

[many] years <08141> that I would bring <0935> thee against

<05921> them?

18 And it shall come <01961> to pass at the same <01931> time

<03117> when <03117> Gog <01463> shall come <0935> against

<05921> the land <0127> of Israel <03478>, saith <05002> the

Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, [that] my fury <02534> shall come

<05927> up in my face <0639>.

19 For in my jealousy <07068> [and] in the fire <0784> of my

wrath <05678> have I spoken <01696>, Surely in that day <03117>

there shall be a great <01419> shaking <07494> in the land

<0127> of Israel <03478>;

20 So that the fishes <01709> of the sea <03220>, and the fowls

<05775> of the heaven <08064>, and the beasts <02416> of the

field <07704>, and all <03605> creeping <07431> things that

creep <07430> upon the earth <0127>, and all <03605> the men

<0120> that [are] upon the face <06440> of the earth <0127>,

shall shake <07493> at my presence <06440>, and the mountains

<02022> shall be thrown <02040> down <02040>, and the steep

<04095> places shall fall <05307>, and every <03605> wall

<02346> shall fall <05307> to the ground <0776>.

21 And I will call <07121> for a sword <02719> against <05921>

him throughout all <03605> my mountains <02022>, saith <05002>

the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>: every man's <0376> sword <02719>

shall be against his brother <0251>.

22 And I will plead <08199> against him with pestilence <01698>

and with blood <01818>; and I will rain <04305> upon him, and

upon his bands <0102>, and upon the many <07227> people <05971>

that [are] with him, an overflowing <07857> rain <01653>, and

great <0417> hailstones, fire <0784>, and brimstone <01614>.

23 Thus will I magnify <01431> myself, and sanctify <06942>

myself; and I will be known <03045> in the eyes <05869> of many

<07227> nations <01471>, and they shall know <03045> that I [am]

the LORD <03068>.

Ezekiel 39

1. Therefore <03651>, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, prophesy

<05012> against <05921> Gog <01463>, and say <0559>, Thus

<03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>,

I [am] against <0413> thee, O Gog <01463>, the chief <07218>

prince <05387> of Meshech <04902> and Tubal <08422>:

2 And I will turn <07725> thee back <07725>, and leave <08338>

but the sixth <08338> part of thee, and will cause thee to come

<05927> up from the north <06828> parts <03411>, and will bring

<0935> thee upon the mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>:

3 And I will smite <05221> thy bow <07198> out of thy left

<08040> hand <03027>, and will cause thine arrows <02671> to

fall <05307> out of thy right <03225> hand <03027>.

4 Thou shalt fall <05307> upon the mountains <02022> of Israel

<03478>, thou, and all <03605> thy bands <0102>, and the people

<05971> that [is] with thee: I will give <05414> thee unto the

ravenous <05861> birds <06833> of every <03605> sort <03671>,

and [to] the beasts <02416> of the field <07704> to be devoured

<0402>.

5 Thou shalt fall <05307> upon the open <06440> field <07704>:

for I have spoken <01696> [it], saith <05002> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>.

6 And I will send <07971> a fire <0784> on Magog <04031>, and

among them that dwell <03427> carelessly <0983> in the isles

<0339>: and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

7 So will I make my holy <06944> name <08034> known <03045> in

the midst <08432> of my people <05971> Israel <03478>; and I

will not [let them] pollute <02490> my holy <06944> name <08034>

any more <05750>: and the heathen <01471> shall know <03045>

that I [am] the LORD <03068>, the Holy <06918> One in Israel

<03478>.

8. Behold <02009>, it is come <0935>, and it is done, saith

<05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; this <01931> [is] the day

<03117> whereof <0834> I have spoken <01696>.

9 And they that dwell <03427> in the cities <05892> of Israel

<03478> shall go <03318> forth <03318>, and shall set <01197> on

fire <0784> and burn <05400> the weapons <05402>, both the

shields <04043> and the bucklers <06793>, the bows <07198> and

the arrows <02671>, and the handstaves, and the spears <07420>,

and they shall burn <01197> them with fire <0784> seven <07651>

years <08141>:

10 So that they shall take <05375> no <03808> wood <06086> out

of the field <07704>, neither <03808> cut <02404> down [any] out

of the forests <03293>; for they shall burn <01197> the weapons

<05402> with fire <05135>: and they shall spoil <07997> those

that spoiled <07997> them, and rob <0962> those that robbed

<0962> them, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

11 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day <03117>,

[that] I will give <05414> unto Gog <01463> a place <04725>

there <08033> of graves <06913> in Israel <03478>, the valley

<01516> of the passengers <05674> on the east <06926> of the sea

<03220>: and it shall stop <02629> the [noses] of the passengers

<05674>: and there <08033> shall they bury <06912> Gog <01463>

and all <03605> his multitude <01995>: and they shall call

<07121> [it] The valley <01516> of Hamongog <01996>.

12 And seven <07651> months <02320> shall the house <01004> of

Israel <03478> be burying <06912> of them, that they may cleanse

<02891> the land <0776>.

13 Yea, all <03605> the people <05971> of the land <0776> shall

bury <06912> [them]; and it shall be to them a renown <08034>

the day <03117> that I shall be glorified <03513>, saith <05002>

the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

14 And they shall sever <0914> out men <0582> of continual

<08548> employment, passing <05674> through the land <0776> to

bury <06912> with the passengers <05674> those that remain

<03498> upon the face <06440> of the earth <0776>, to cleanse

<02891> it: after the end <07097> of seven <07651> months

<02320> shall they search <02713>.

15 And the passengers <05674> [that] pass <05674> through the

land <0776>, when [any] seeth <07200> a man's <0120> bone

<06106>, then shall he set <01129> up a sign <06725> by it, till

<05704> the buriers <06912> have buried <06912> it in the valley

<01516> of Hamongog <01996>.

16 And also <01571> the name <08034> of the city <05892> [shall

be] Hamonah <01997>. Thus shall they cleanse <02891> the land

<0776>.

17 And, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, thus <03541> saith

<0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Speak <0559> unto every

<03605> feathered <03671> fowl <06833>, and to every <03605>

beast <02416> of the field <07704>, Assemble <06908> yourselves,

and come <0935>; gather <0622> yourselves on every <05437> side

<05439> to my sacrifice <02077> that I do sacrifice <02076> for

you, [even] a great <01419> sacrifice <02077> upon the mountains

<02022> of Israel <03478>, that ye may eat <0398> flesh <01320>,

and drink <08354> blood <01818>.

18 Ye shall eat <0398> the flesh <01320> of the mighty <01368>,

and drink <08354> the blood <01818> of the princes <05387> of

the earth <0776>, of rams <0352>, of lambs <03733>, and of goats

<06260>, of bullocks <06499>, all <03605> of them fatlings

<04806> of Bashan <01316>.

19 And ye shall eat <0398> fat <02459> till ye be full <07654>,

and drink <08354> blood <01818> till ye be drunken <07943>, of

my sacrifice <02076> which <0834> I have sacrificed <02076> for

you.

20 Thus ye shall be filled <07646> at <05921> my table <07979>

with horses <05483> and chariots <07393>, with mighty <01368>

men, and with all <03605> men <0376> of war <04421>, saith

<05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

21 And I will set <05414> my glory <03519> among the heathen

<01471>, and all <03605> the heathen <01471> shall see <07200>

my judgment <04941> that I have executed <06213>, and my hand

<03027> that I have laid <07760> upon them.

22 So the house <01004> of Israel <03478> shall know <03045>

that I [am] the LORD <03068> their God <0430> from that day

<03117> and forward <01973>.

23. And the heathen <01471> shall know <03045> that the house

<01004> of Israel <03478> went into captivity <01540> for their

iniquity <05771>: because they trespassed <04603> against me,

therefore hid <05641> I my face <06440> from them, and gave

<05414> them into the hand <03027> of their enemies <06862>: so

fell <05307> they all <03605> by the sword <02719>.

24 According to their uncleanness <02932> and according to

their transgressions <06588> have I done <06213> unto them, and

hid <05641> my face <06440> from them.

25 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>; Now <06258> will I bring <07725> again <07725> the

captivity <07622> of Jacob <03290>, and have mercy <07355> upon

the whole <03605> house <01004> of Israel <03478>, and will be

jealous <07065> for my holy <06944> name <08034>;

26 After that they have borne <05375> their shame <03639>, and

all <03605> their trespasses <04604> whereby <0834> they have

trespassed <04603> against me, when they dwelt <03427> safely

<0983> in their land <0127>, and none <0369> made [them] afraid

<02729>.

27 When I have brought <07725> them again <07725> from the

people <05971>, and gathered <06908> them out of their enemies

<0341>' lands <0776>, and am sanctified <06942> in them in the

sight <05869> of many <07227> nations <01471>;

28 Then shall they know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>

their God <0430>, which caused them to be led into captivity

<01473> among <0413> the heathen <01471>: but I have gathered

<03664> them unto their own land <0127>, and have left <03498>

none <03808> of them any more <05750> there <08033>.

29 Neither <03808> will I hide <05641> my face <06440> any more

<05750> from them: for I have poured <08210> out my spirit

<07307> upon the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, saith <05002>

the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 40

1. In the five <02568> and twentieth <06242> year <08141> of

our captivity <01546>, in the beginning <07218> of the year

<08141>, in the tenth <06218> [day] of the month <02320>, in the

fourteenth year <08141> after <0310> that the city <05892> was

smitten <05221>, in the selfsame day <03117> the hand <03027> of

the LORD <03068> was upon me, and brought <0935> me thither

<08033>.

2 In the visions <04759> of God <0430> brought <0935> he me

into <0413> the land <0776> of Israel <03478>, and set <05117>

me upon a very <03966> high <01364> mountain <02022>, by which

[was] as the frame <04011> of a city <05892> on the south

<05045>.

3 And he brought <0935> me thither <08033>, and, behold <02009>,

[there was] a man <0376>, whose appearance <04758> [was] like

the appearance <04758> of brass <05178>, with a line <06616> of

flax <06593> in his hand <03027>, and a measuring <04060> reed

<07070>; and he stood <05975> in the gate <08179>.

4 And the man <0376> said <01696> unto me, Son <01121> of man

<0120>, behold <07200> with thine eyes <05869>, and hear <08085>

with thine ears <0241>, and set <07760> thine heart <03820> upon

all <03605> that I shall shew <07200> thee; for to the intent

<04616> that I might shew <07200> [them] unto thee [art] thou

brought <0935> hither: declare <05046> all <03605> that thou

seest <07200> to the house <01004> of Israel <03478>.

5. And behold <02009> a wall <02346> on the outside <02351> of

the house <01004> round <05439> about, and in the man's hand

<03027> a measuring <04060> reed <07070> of six <08337> cubits

<0520> [long] by the cubit <0520> and an hand <02948> breadth

<02948>: so he measured <04058> the breadth <07341> of the

building <01146>, one <0259> reed <07070>; and the height

<06967>, one <0259> reed <07070>.

6 Then came <0935> he unto the gate <08179> which <0834>

looketh <06440> toward <01870> the east <06921>, and went

<05927> up the stairs <04609> thereof, and measured <04058> the

threshold <05592> of the gate <08179>, [which was] one <0259>

reed <07070> broad <07341>; and the other <0259> threshold

<05592> [of the gate, which was] one <0259> reed <07070> broad

<07341>.

7 And [every] little chamber <08372> [was] one <0259> reed

<07070> long <0753>, and one <0259> reed <07070> broad <07341>;

and between <0996> the little chambers <08372> [were] five

<02568> cubits <0520>; and the threshold <05592> of the gate

<08179> by the porch <0197> of the gate <08179> within <01004>

[was] one <0259> reed <07070>.

8 He measured <04058> also the porch <0197> of the gate <08179>

within <01004>, one <0259> reed <07070>.

9 Then measured <04058> he the porch <0197> of the gate <08179>,

eight <08083> cubits <0520>; and the posts <0352> thereof, two

<08147> cubits <0520>; and the porch <0197> of the gate <08179>

[was] inward <01004>.

10 And the little chambers <08372> of the gate <08179> eastward

[were] three <07969> on this <06311> side <06311>, and three

<07969> on that side <06311>; they three <07969> [were] of one

<0259> measure <04060>: and the posts <0352> had one <0259>

measure <04060> on this <06311> side and on that side.

11 And he measured <04058> the breadth <07341> of the entry

<06607> of the gate <08179>, ten <06235> cubits <0520>; [and]

the length <0753> of the gate <08179>, thirteen cubits <0520>.

12 The space <01366> also before <06440> the little chambers

<08372> [was] one <0259> cubit <0520> [on this side], and the

space <01366> [was] one cubit <0520> on that side: and the

little chambers <08372> [were] six <08337> cubits <0520> on this

<06311> side, and six <08337> cubits <0520> on that side.

13 He measured <04058> then the gate <08179> from the roof

<01406> of [one] little chamber <08372> to the roof <01406> of

another: the breadth <07341> [was] five <02568> and twenty

<06242> cubits <0520>, door <06607> against <05048> door <06607>.

14 He made <06213> also posts <0352> of threescore <07657>

cubits <0520>, even unto the post <0352> of the court <02691>

round <05439> about the gate <08179>.

15 And from the face <06440> of the gate <08179> of the

entrance <02978> unto the face <06440> of the porch <0197> of

the inner <06442> gate <08179> [were] fifty <02572> cubits

<0520>.

16 And [there were] narrow <0331> windows <02474> to the little

chambers <08372>, and to their posts <0352> within <06441> the

gate <08179> round <05439> about, and likewise <03651> to the

arches <0361>: and windows <02474> [were] round <05439> about

inward <06441>: and upon [each] post <0352> [were] palm <08561>

trees.

17 Then brought <0935> he me into <0413> the outward <02435>

court <02691>, and, lo <02009>, [there were] chambers <03957>,

and a pavement <07531> made <06213> for the court <02691> round

<05439> about: thirty <07970> chambers <03957> [were] upon the

pavement <07531>.

18 And the pavement <07531> by the side <03802> of the gates

<08179> over <05980> against <05980> the length <0753> of the

gates <08179> [was] the lower <08481> pavement <07531>.

19 Then he measured <04058> the breadth <07341> from the

forefront <06440> of the lower <08481> gate <08179> unto the

forefront <06440> of the inner <06442> court <02691> without

<02351>, an hundred <03967> cubits <0520> eastward <06921> and

northward <06828>.

20 And the gate <08179> of the outward <02435> court <02691>

that looked <06440> toward <01870> the north <06828>, he

measured <04058> the length <0753> thereof, and the breadth

<07341> thereof.

21 And the little chambers <08372> thereof [were] three <07969>

on this <06311> side and three <07969> on that side; and the

posts <0352> thereof and the arches <0361> thereof were after

the measure <04060> of the first <07223> gate <08179>: the

length <0753> thereof [was] fifty <02572> cubits <0520>, and the

breadth <07341> five <02568> and twenty <06242> cubits <0520>.

22 And their windows <02474>, and their arches <0361>, and

their palm <08561> trees, [were] after the measure <04060> of

the gate <08179> that looketh <06440> toward <01870> the east

<06921>; and they went <05927> up unto it by seven <07651> steps

<04609>; and the arches <0361> thereof [were] before <06440>

them.

23 And the gate <08179> of the inner <06442> court <02691>

[was] over <05048> against <05048> the gate <08179> toward the

north <06828>, and toward the east <06921>; and he measured

<04058> from gate <08179> to gate <08179> an hundred <03967>

cubits <0520>.

24 After that he brought <03212> me toward <01870> the south

<01864>, and behold <02009> a gate <08179> toward <01870> the

south <01864>: and he measured <04058> the posts <0352> thereof

and the arches <0361> thereof according to these <04228>

measures <04060>.

25 And [there were] windows <02474> in it and in the arches

<0361> thereof round <05439> about, like those <0428> windows

<02474>: the length <0753> [was] fifty <02572> cubits <0520>,

and the breadth <07341> five <02568> and twenty <06242> cubits

<0520>.

26 And [there were] seven <07651> steps <04609> to go <05930>

up to it, and the arches <0361> thereof [were] before <06440>

them: and it had palm <08561> trees, one <0259> on this <06311>

side, and another <0259> on that side, upon the posts <0352>

thereof.

27. And [there was] a gate <08179> in the inner <06442> court

<02691> toward <01870> the south <01864>: and he measured

<04058> from gate <08179> to gate <08179> toward <01870> the

south <01864> an hundred <03967> cubits <0520>.

28 And he brought <0935> me to the inner <06442> court <02691>

by the south <01864> gate <08179>: and he measured <04058> the

south <01864> gate <08179> according to these <04228> measures

<04060>;

29 And the little chambers <08372> thereof, and the posts

<0352> thereof, and the arches <0361> thereof, according to

these <04228> measures <04060>: and [there were] windows <02474>

in it and in the arches <0361> thereof round <05439> about: [it

was] fifty <02572> cubits <0520> long <0753>, and five <02568>

and twenty <06242> cubits <0520> broad <07341>.

30 And the arches <0361> round <05439> about [were] five

<02568> and twenty <06242> cubits <0520> long <0753>, and five

<02568> cubits <0520> broad <07341>.

31 And the arches <0361> thereof [were] toward <0413> the utter

<02435> court <02691>; and palm <08561> trees [were] upon the

posts <0352> thereof: and the going <04608> up to it [had] eight

<08083> steps <04609>.

32 And he brought <0935> me into <0413> the inner <06442> court

<02691> toward <01870> the east <06921>: and he measured <04058>

the gate <08179> according to these <04228> measures <04060>.

33 And the little chambers <08372> thereof, and the posts

<0352> thereof, and the arches <0361> thereof, [were] according

to these <04228> measures <04060>: and [there were] windows

<02474> therein and in the arches <0361> thereof round <05439>

about: [it was] fifty <02572> cubits <0520> long <0753>, and

five <02568> and twenty <06242> cubits <0520> broad <07341>.

34 And the arches <0361> thereof [were] toward the outward

<02435> court <02691>; and palm <08561> trees [were] upon the

posts <0352> thereof, on this <06311> side, and on that side:

and the going <04608> up to it [had] eight <08083> steps <04609>.

35 And he brought <0935> me to the north <06828> gate <08179>,

and measured <04058> [it] according to these <04228> measures

<04060>;

36 The little chambers <08372> thereof, the posts <0352>

thereof, and the arches <0361> thereof, and the windows <02474>

to it round <05439> about: the length <0753> [was] fifty <02572>

cubits <0520>, and the breadth <07341> five <02568> and twenty

<06242> cubits <0520>.

37 And the posts <0352> thereof [were] toward the utter <02435>

court <02691>; and palm <08561> trees [were] upon the posts

<0352> thereof, on this <06311> side, and on that side: and the

going <04608> up to it [had] eight <08083> steps <04609>.

38 And the chambers <03957> and the entries <06607> thereof

[were] by the posts <0352> of the gates <08179>, where <08033>

they washed <01740> the burnt <05930> offering.

39. And in the porch <0197> of the gate <08179> [were] two

<08147> tables <07979> on this <06311> side, and two tables

<07979> on that side, to slay <07819> thereon <05921> the burnt

<05930> offering and the sin <02403> offering and the trespass

<0817> offering.

40 And at <0413> the side <03802> without <02351>, as one

<0259> goeth <05927> up to the entry <06607> of the north

<06828> gate <08179>, [were] two <08147> tables <07979>; and on

<0413> the other <0312> side <03802>, which <0834> [was] at the

porch <0197> of the gate <08179>, [were] two <08147> tables

<07979>.

41 Four <0702> tables <07979> [were] on this <06311> side

<03802>, and four <0702> tables <07979> on that side <03802>, by

the side <03802> of the gate <08179>; eight <08083> tables

<07979>, whereupon <0413> they slew <07819> [their sacrifices].

42 And the four <0702> tables <07979> [were] of hewn <01496>

stone <068> for the burnt <05930> offering, of a cubit <0520>

and an half <02677> long <0753>, and a cubit <0520> and an half

<02677> broad <07341>, and one <0259> cubit <0520> high <01363>:

whereupon <0413> also they laid <03240> the instruments <03627>

wherewith <0834> they slew <07819> the burnt <05930> offering

and the sacrifice <02077>.

43 And within <01004> [were] hooks <08240>, an hand <02948>

broad, fastened <03559> round <05439> about: and upon the tables

<07979> [was] the flesh <01320> of the offering <07133>.

44 And without <02351> the inner <06442> gate <08179> [were]

the chambers <03957> of the singers <07891> in the inner <06442>

court <02691>, which <0834> [was] at <0413> the side <03802> of

the north <06828> gate <08179>; and their prospect <06440> [was]

toward <01870> the south <01864>: one <0259> at <0413> the side

<03802> of the east <06921> gate <08179> [having] the prospect

<06440> toward <01870> the north <06828>.

45 And he said <01696> unto me, This <02090> chamber <03957>,

whose <0834> prospect <06440> [is] toward <01870> the south

<01864>, [is] for the priests <03548>, the keepers <08104> of

the charge <04931> of the house <01004>.

46 And the chamber <03957> whose <0834> prospect <06440> [is]

toward <01870> the north <06828> [is] for the priests <03548>,

the keepers <08104> of the charge <04931> of the altar <04196>:

these <01992> [are] the sons <01121> of Zadok <06659> among the

sons <01121> of Levi <03878>, which come <07131> near <07131> to

the LORD <03068> to minister <08334> unto him.

47 So he measured <04058> the court <02691>, an hundred <03967>

cubits <0520> long <0753>, and an hundred <03967> cubits <0520>

broad <07341>, foursquare <07251>; and the altar <04196> [that

was] before <06440> the house <01004>.

48 And he brought <0935> me to the porch <0197> of the house

<01004>, and measured <04058> [each] post <0352> of the porch

<0197>, five <02568> cubits <0520> on this <06311> side, and

five <02568> cubits <0520> on that side: and the breadth <07341>

of the gate <08179> [was] three <07969> cubits <0520> on this

<06311> side, and three <07969> cubits <0520> on that side.

49 The length <0753> of the porch <0197> [was] twenty <06242>

cubits <0520>, and the breadth <07341> eleven cubits <0520>; and

[he brought me] by the steps <04609> whereby <0834> they went

<05927> up to it: and [there were] pillars <05982> by the posts

<0352>, one <0259> on this <06311> side, and another <0259> on

that side.

Ezekiel 41

1. Afterward he brought <0935> me to the temple <01964>, and

measured <04058> the posts <0352>, six <08337> cubits <0520>

broad <07341> on the one side <06311>, and six <08337> cubits

<0520> broad <07341> on the other <06311> side, [which was] the

breadth <07341> of the tabernacle <0168>.

2 And the breadth <07341> of the door <06607> [was] ten <06235>

cubits <0520>; and the sides <03802> of the door <06607> [were]

five <02568> cubits <0520> on the one side, and five <02568>

cubits <0520> on the other <06311> side: and he measured <04058>

the length <0753> thereof, forty <0705> cubits <0520>: and the

breadth <07341>, twenty <06242> cubits <0520>.

3 Then went <0935> he inward <06441>, and measured <04058> the

post <0352> of the door <06607>, two <08147> cubits <0520>; and

the door <06607>, six <08337> cubits <0520>; and the breadth

<07341> of the door <06607>, seven <07651> cubits <0520>.

4 So he measured <04058> the length <0753> thereof, twenty

<06242> cubits <0520>; and the breadth <07341>, twenty <06242>

cubits <0520>, before the temple <01964>: and he said <0559>

unto me, This <02088> [is] the most <06944> holy <06944> [place].

5 After he measured <04058> the wall <07023> of the house

<01004>, six <08337> cubits <0520>; and the breadth <07341> of

[every] side <06763> chamber <06763>, four <0702> cubits <0520>,

round <05439> about the house <01004> on every <05437> side

<05439>.

6 And the side <06763> chambers <06763> [were] three <07969>,

one over <0413> another, and thirty <07970> in order <06471>;

and they entered <0935> into the wall <07023> which <0834> [was]

of the house <01004> for the side <06763> chambers <06763> round

<05439> about, that they might have <01961> hold <0270>, but

they had <01961> not hold <0270> in the wall <07023> of the

house <01004>.

7 And [there was] an enlarging <07337>, and a winding <05437>

about still upward <04605> to the side <06763> chambers <06763>:

for the winding <04141> about of the house <01004> went still

upward <04605> round <05439> about the house <01004>: therefore

the breadth <07341> of the house <01004> [was still] upward

<04605>, and so increased <05927> [from] the lowest <08481>

[chamber] to the highest <05945> by the midst <08484>.

8 I saw <07200> also the height <01364> of the house <01004>

round <05439> about: the foundations <04328> of the side <06763>

chambers <06763> [were] a full <04393> reed <07070> of six

<08337> great <0679> cubits <0520>.

9 The thickness <07341> of the wall <07023>, which <0834> [was]

for the side <06763> chamber <06763> without <02351>, [was] five

<02568> cubits <0520>: and [that] which [was] left <03240> [was]

the place <01004> of the side <06763> chambers <06763> that

[were] within <01004>.

10 And between <0996> the chambers <03957> [was] the wideness

<07341> of twenty <06242> cubits <0520> round <05439> about the

house <01004> on every <05437> side <05439>.

11 And the doors <06607> of the side <06763> chambers <06763>

[were] toward <01870> [the place that was] left <03240>, one

<0259> door <06607> toward <01870> the north <06828>, and

another <0259> door <06607> toward <01870> the south <01864>:

and the breadth <07341> of the place <04725> that was left

<03240> [was] five <02568> cubits <0520> round <05439> about.

12. Now the building <01146> that [was] before the separate

<01508> place at the end <06285> toward <01870> the west <03220>

[was] seventy <07657> cubits <0520> broad <07341>; and the wall

<07023> of the building <01146> [was] five <02568> cubits <0520>

thick <07341> round <05439> about, and the length <0753> thereof

ninety <08673> cubits <0520>.

13 So he measured <04058> the house <01004>, an hundred <03967>

cubits <0520> long <0753>; and the separate <01508> place, and

the building <01140>, with the walls <07023> thereof, an hundred

<03967> cubits <0520> long <0753>;

14 Also the breadth <07341> of the face <06440> of the house

<01004>, and of the separate <01508> place toward the east

<06921>, an hundred <03967> cubits <0520>.

15 And he measured <04058> the length <0753> of the building

<01146> over against <06440> the separate <01508> place which

<0834> [was] behind <0310> it, and the galleries <0862> thereof

on the one side and on the other <06311> side, an hundred

<03967> cubits <0520>, with the inner <06442> temple <01964>,

and the porches <0197> of the court <02691>;

16 The door <05592> posts <05592>, and the narrow <0331>

windows <02474>, and the galleries <0862> round <05439> about on

their three <07969> stories, over <05048> against <05048> the

door <05592>, cieled <07824> with wood <06086> round <05439>

about, and from the ground <0776> up to the windows <02474>, and

the windows <02474> [were] covered <03680>;

17 To that above <05921> the door <06607>, even unto the inner

<06442> house <01004>, and without <02351>, and by all <03605>

the wall <07023> round <05439> about within <06442> and without

<02435>, by measure <04060>.

18 And [it was] made <06213> with cherubims <03742> and palm

trees, so that a palm tree [was] between <0996> a cherub <03742>

and a cherub <03742>; and [every] cherub <03742> had two <08147>

faces <06440>;

19 So that the face <06440> of a man <0120> [was] toward <0413>

the palm <08561> tree on the one side, and the face <06440> of a

young <03715> lion <03715> toward <0413> the palm <08561> tree

on the other <06311> side: [it was] made <06213> through <0413>

all <03605> the house <01004> round <05439> about.

20 From the ground <0776> unto above <05921> the door <06607>

[were] cherubims <03742> and palm <08561> trees made <06213>,

and [on] the wall <07023> of the temple <01964>.

21 The posts <04201> of the temple <01964> [were] squared

<07251>, [and] the face <06440> of the sanctuary <06944>; the

appearance <04758> [of the one] as the appearance <04758> [of

the other].

22 The altar <04196> of wood <06086> [was] three <07969> cubits

<0520> high <01364>, and the length <0753> thereof two <08147>

cubits <0520>; and the corners <04740> thereof, and the length

<0753> thereof, and the walls <07023> thereof, [were] of wood

<06086>: and he said <01696> unto me, This <02088> [is] the

table <07979> that [is] before <06440> the LORD <03068>.

23 And the temple <01964> and the sanctuary <06944> had two

<08147> doors <01817>.

24 And the doors <01817> had two <08147> leaves <01817>

[apiece], two <08147> turning <04142> leaves <01817>; two

<08147> [leaves] for the one <0259> door <01817>, and two

<08147> leaves <01817> for the other <0312> [door <01817>].

25 And [there were] made <06213> on <0413> them, on <0413> the

doors <01817> of the temple <01964>, cherubims <03742> and palm

<08561> trees, like as [were] made <06213> upon the walls

<07023>; and [there were] thick <05645> planks <06086> upon the

face <06440> of the porch <0197> without <02351>.

26 And [there were] narrow <0331> windows <02474> and palm

<08561> trees on the one side and on the other <06311> side, on

<0413> the sides <03802> of the porch <0197>, and [upon] the

side <06763> chambers <06763> of the house <01004>, and thick

planks <05646>.

Ezekiel 42

1. Then he brought <03318> me forth <03318> into <0413> the

utter <02435> court <02691>, the way <01870> toward <01870> the

north <06828>: and he brought <0935> me into <0413> the chamber

<03957> that [was] over <05048> against <05048> the separate

<01508> place, and which <0834> [was] before <06440> the

building <01146> toward <0413> the north <06828>.

2 Before the length <0753> of an hundred <03967> cubits <0520>

[was] the north <06828> door <06607>, and the breadth <07341>

[was] fifty <02572> cubits <0520>.

3 Over <05048> against <05048> the twenty <06242> [cubits]

which <0834> [were] for the inner <06442> court <02691>, and

over <05048> against <05048> the pavement <07531> which <0834>

[was] for the utter <02435> court <02691>, [was] gallery <0862>

against gallery <0862> in three <07992> [stories].

4 And before <06440> the chambers <03957> [was] a walk <04109>

of ten <06235> cubits <0520> breadth <07341> inward <06442>, a

way <01870> of one <0259> cubit <0520>; and their doors <06607>

toward the north <06828>.

5 Now the upper <05945> chambers <03957> [were] shorter <07114>:

for the galleries <0862> were higher <03201> than these <02007>,

than the lower <08481>, and than the middlemost <08484> of the

building <01146>.

6 For they [were] in three <08027> [stories], but had not

pillars <05982> as the pillars <05982> of the courts <02691>:

therefore [the building] was straitened <0680> more than the

lowest <08481> and the middlemost <08484> from the ground <0776>.

7 And the wall <01447> that [was] without <02351> over <05980>

against <05980> the chambers <03957>, toward <01870> the utter

<02435> court <02691> on the forepart <06440> of the chambers

<03957>, the length <0753> thereof [was] fifty <02572> cubits

<0520>.

8 For the length <0753> of the chambers <03957> that [were] in

the utter <02435> court <02691> [was] fifty <02572> cubits

<0520>: and, lo <02009>, before the temple <01964> [were] an

hundred <03967> cubits <0520>.

9 And from under <08478> these <0428> chambers <03957> [was]

the entry <03996> on the east <06921> side <06921>, as one goeth

<0935> into them from the utter <02435> court <02691>.

10 The chambers <03957> [were] in the thickness <07341> of the

wall <01444> of the court <02691> toward <01870> the east

<06921>, over against <06440> the separate <01508> place, and

over against <06440> the building <01146>.

11 And the way <01870> before <06440> them [was] like the

appearance <04758> of the chambers <03957> which <0834> [were]

toward <01870> the north <06828>, as long <0753> as they, [and]

as broad <07342> as they: and all <03605> their goings <04161>

out [were] both according to their fashions <04941>, and

according to their doors <06607>.

12 And according to the doors <06607> of the chambers <03957>

that [were] toward <01870> the south <01864> [was] a door

<06607> in the head <07218> of the way <01870>, [even] the way

<01870> directly <01903> before <06440> the wall <01448> toward

<01870> the east <06921>, as one entereth <0935> into them.

13 Then said <0559> he unto me, The north <06828> chambers

<03957> [and] the south <01864> chambers <03957>, which <0834>

[are] before the separate <01508> place, they [be] holy <06944>

chambers <03957>, where the priests <03548> that approach

<07138> unto the LORD <03068> shall eat <0398> the most <06944>

holy <06944> things: there <08033> shall they lay <03241> the

most <06944> holy <06944> things, and the meat offering <04503>,

and the sin <02403> offering, and the trespass <0817> offering;

for the place <04725> [is] holy <06918>.

14 When the priests <03548> enter <0935> therein, then shall

they not go <03318> out of the holy <06944> [place] into <0413>

the utter <02435> court <02691>, but there <08033> they shall

lay <03241> their garments <0899> wherein <0834> they minister

<08334>; for they [are] holy; and shall put <03847> on other

<0312> garments <0899>, and shall approach <07126> to [those

things] which <0834> [are] for the people <05971>.

15. Now when he had made an end <03615> of measuring <04060>

the inner <06442> house <01004>, he brought <03318> me forth

<03318> toward <01870> the gate <08179> whose <0834> prospect

<06440> [is] toward <01870> the east <06921>, and measured

<04058> it round <05439> about.

16 He measured <04058> the east <06921> side <07307> with the

measuring <04060> reed <07070>, five <02568> hundred <0520>

reeds <07070>, with the measuring <04060> reed <07070> round

<05439> about.

17 He measured <04058> the north <06828> side <07307>, five

<02568> hundred <03967> reeds <07070>, with the measuring

<04060> reed <07070> round <05439> about.

18 He measured <04058> the south <01864> side <07307>, five

<02568> hundred <03967> reeds <07070>, with the measuring

<04060> reed <07070>.

19 He turned <05437> about to the west <03220> side <07307>,

[and] measured <04058> five <02568> hundred <03967> reeds

<07070> with the measuring <04060> reed <07070>.

20 He measured <04058> it by the four <0702> sides <07307>: it

had a wall <02346> round <05439> about, five <02568> hundred

<03967> [reeds] long <0753>, and five <02568> hundred <03967>

broad <07341>, to make a separation <0914> between <0996> the

sanctuary <06944> and the profane <02455> place.

Ezekiel 43

1. Afterward he brought <03212> me to the gate <08179>, [even]

the gate <08179> that looketh <06437> toward <01870> the east

<06921>:

2 And, behold <02009>, the glory <03519> of the God <0430> of

Israel <03478> came <0935> from the way <01870> of the east

<06921>: and his voice <06963> [was] like a noise <06963> of

many <07227> waters <04325>: and the earth <0776> shined <0215>

with his glory <03519>.

3 And [it was] according to the appearance <04758> of the

vision <04758> which <0834> I saw <07200>, [even] according to

the vision <04758> that I saw <07200> when I came <0935> to

destroy <07843> the city <05892>: and the visions <04759> [were]

like the vision <04758> that I saw <07200> by the river <05104>

Chebar <03529>; and I fell <05307> upon my face <06440>.

4 And the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> came <0935> into

<0413> the house <01004> by the way <01870> of the gate <08179>

whose <0834> prospect <06440> [is] toward <01870> the east

<06921>.

5 So the spirit <07307> took <05375> me up, and brought <0935>

me into <0413> the inner <06442> court <02691>; and, behold

<02009>, the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> filled <04390>

the house <01004>.

6 And I heard <08085> [him] speaking <01696> unto me out of the

house <01004>; and the man <0376> stood <05975> by me.

7. And he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, the

place <04725> of my throne <03678>, and the place <04725> of the

soles <03709> of my feet <07272>, where I will dwell <07931> in

the midst <08432> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> for

ever <05769>, and my holy <06944> name <08034>, shall the house

<01004> of Israel <03478> no <03808> more <05750> defile <02930>,

[neither] they, nor their kings <04428>, by their whoredom

<02184>, nor by the carcases <06297> of their kings <04428> in

their high <01116> places.

8 In their setting <05414> of their threshold <05592> by my

thresholds <05592>, and their post <04201> by my posts <04201>,

and the wall <07023> between <0996> me and them, they have even

defiled <02930> my holy <06944> name <08034> by their

abominations <08441> that they have committed <06213>: wherefore

I have consumed <0398> them in mine anger <0639>.

9 Now <06258> let them put <07368> away <07368> their whoredom

<02184>, and the carcases <06297> of their kings <04428>, far

<07350> from me, and I will dwell <07931> in the midst <08432>

of them for ever <05769>.

10 Thou son <01121> of man <0120>, shew <05046> the house

<01004> to the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, that they may be

ashamed <03637> of their iniquities <05771>: and let them

measure <04058> the pattern <08508>.

11 And if <0518> they be ashamed <03637> of all <03605> that

they have done <06213>, shew <03045> them the form <06699> of

the house <01004>, and the fashion <08498> thereof, and the

goings <04161> out thereof, and the comings <04126> in thereof,

and all <03605> the forms <06699> thereof, and all <03605> the

ordinances <02708> thereof, and all <03605> the forms <06699>

thereof, and all <03605> the laws <08451> thereof: and write

<03789> [it] in their sight <05869>, that they may keep <08104>

the whole <03605> form <06699> thereof, and all <03605> the

ordinances <02708> thereof, and do <06213> them.

12 This <02063> [is] the law <08451> of the house <01004>; Upon

the top <07218> of the mountain <02022> the whole <03605> limit

<01366> thereof round <05439> about [shall be] most <06944> holy

<06944>. Behold <02009>, this <02063> [is] the law <08451> of

the house <01004>.

13. And these <0428> [are] the measures <04060> of the altar

<04196> after the cubits <0520>: The cubit <0520> [is] a cubit

<0520> and an hand <02948> breadth <02948>; even the bottom

<02436> [shall be] a cubit <0520>, and the breadth <07341> a

cubit <0520>, and the border <01366> thereof by the edge thereof

round <05439> about [shall be] a span <02239>: and this <02088>

[shall be] the higher <01354> place of the altar <04196>.

14 And from the bottom <02436> [upon] the ground <0776> [even]

to the lower <08481> settle <05835> [shall be] two <08147>

cubits <0520>, and the breadth <07341> one <0259> cubit <0520>;

and from the lesser <06996> settle <05835> [even] to the greater

<01419> settle <05835> [shall be] four <0702> cubits <0520>, and

the breadth <07341> [one] cubit <0520>.

15 So the altar <0741> [shall be] four <0702> cubits <0520>;

and from the altar <0741> and upward <04605> [shall be] four

<0702> horns <07161>.

16 And the altar <0741> [shall be] twelve [cubits] long <0753>,

twelve broad <07341>, square <07251> in the four <0702> squares

<07253> thereof.

17 And the settle <05835> [shall be] fourteen [cubits] long

<0753> and fourteen broad <07341> in the four <0702> squares

<07253> thereof; and the border <01366> about <05439> it [shall

be] half <02677> a cubit <0520>; and the bottom <03247> thereof

[shall be] a cubit <0520> about <05439>; and his stairs <04609>

shall look <06437> toward the east <06921>.

18 And he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, thus

<03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; These <0428>

[are] the ordinances <02708> of the altar <04196> in the day

<03117> when they shall make <06213> it, to offer <05927> burnt

<05930> offerings thereon <05921>, and to sprinkle <02236> blood

<01818> thereon <05921>.

19 And thou shalt give <05414> to the priests <03548> the

Levites <03881> that be of the seed <02233> of Zadok <06659>,

which approach <07126> unto me, to minister <08334> unto me,

saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, a young bullock

<06499> for a sin <02403> offering.

20 And thou shalt take <03947> of the blood <01818> thereof,

and put <05414> [it] on <05921> the four <0702> horns <07161> of

it, and on <0413> the four <0702> corners <06438> of the settle

<05835>, and upon the border <01366> round <05439> about: thus

shalt thou cleanse <02398> and purge <03722> it.

21 Thou shalt take <03947> the bullock <06499> also of the sin

<02403> offering, and he shall burn <08313> it in the appointed

<04662> place of the house <01004>, without <02351> the

sanctuary <04720>.

22 And on the second <08145> day <03117> thou shalt offer

<07126> a kid <08163> of the goats <05795> without <08549>

blemish <08549> for a sin <02403> offering; and they shall

cleanse <02398> the altar <04196>, as they did cleanse <02398>

[it] with the bullock <06499>.

23 When thou hast made an end <03615> of cleansing <02893> [it],

thou shalt offer <07126> a young bullock <06499> without

<08549> blemish <08549>, and a ram <0352> out of the flock

<06629> without <08549> blemish <08549>.

24 And thou shalt offer <07126> them before <06440> the LORD

<03068>, and the priests <03548> shall cast <07993> salt <04417>

upon them, and they shall offer <05927> them up [for] a burnt

<05930> offering unto the LORD <03068>.

25 Seven <07651> days <03117> shalt thou prepare <06213> every

day <03117> a goat <08163> [for] a sin <02403> offering: they

shall also prepare <03559> a young bullock <06499>, and a ram

<0352> out of the flock <06629>, without <08549> blemish <08549>.

26 Seven <07651> days <03117> shall they purge <03722> the

altar <04196> and purify <02891> it; and they shall consecrate

themselves <03027>.

27 And when these days <03117> are expired <03615>, it shall be,

[that] upon the eighth <08066> day <03117>, and [so] forward

<01973>, the priests <03548> shall make <06213> your burnt

<05930> offerings upon the altar <04196>, and your peace <08002>

offerings; and I will accept <07521> you, saith <05002> the Lord

<0136> GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 44

1. Then he brought <07725> me back <07725> the way <01870> of

the gate <08179> of the outward <02435> sanctuary <04720> which

looketh <06437> toward the east <06921>; and it [was] shut

<05462>.

2 Then said <0559> the LORD <03068> unto me; This <02088> gate

<08179> shall be shut <05462>, it shall not be opened <06605>,

and no <03808> man <0376> shall enter <0935> in by it; because

<03588> the LORD <03068>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>, hath

entered <0935> in by it, therefore it shall be shut <05462>.

3 [It is] for the prince <05387>; the prince <05387>, he shall

sit <03427> in it to eat <0398> bread <03899> before <06440> the

LORD <03068>; he shall enter <0935> by the way <01870> of the

porch <0197> of [that] gate <08179>, and shall go <03318> out by

the way <01870> of the same.

4. Then brought <0935> he me the way <01870> of the north

<06828> gate <08179> before the house <01004>: and I looked

<07200>, and, behold <02009>, the glory <03519> of the LORD

<03068> filled <04390> the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>:

and I fell <05307> upon my face <06440>.

5 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man

<0120>, mark <07760> well, and behold <07200> with thine eyes

<05869>, and hear <08085> with thine ears <0241> all <03605>

that I say <01696> unto thee concerning all <03605> the

ordinances <02708> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and

all <03605> the laws <08451> thereof; and mark <07760> well the

entering <03996> in of the house <01004>, with every <03605>

going <04161> forth <04161> of the sanctuary <04720>.

6 And thou shalt say <0559> to the rebellious <04805>, [even]

to the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, Thus <03541> saith

<0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; O ye house <01004> of Israel

<03478>, let it suffice <07227> you of all <03605> your

abominations <08441>,

7 In that ye have brought <0935> [into my sanctuary] strangers,

uncircumcised <06189> in heart <03820>, and uncircumcised

<06189> in flesh <01320>, to be in my sanctuary <04720>, to

pollute <02490> it, [even <0853>] my house <01004>, when ye

offer <07126> my bread <03899>, the fat <02459> and the blood

<01818>, and they have broken <06565> my covenant <01285>

because <0413> of all <03605> your abominations <08441>.

8 And ye have not kept <08104> the charge <04931> of mine holy

<06944> things: but ye have set <07760> keepers <08104> of my

charge <04931> in my sanctuary <04720> for yourselves.

9 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; No

<03808> stranger, uncircumcised <06189> in heart <03820>, nor

uncircumcised <06189> in flesh <01320>, shall enter <0935> into

<0413> my sanctuary <04720>, of any <03605> stranger that [is]

among <08432> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.

10. And the Levites <03881> that are gone away far <07350> from

me, when Israel <03478> went <08582> astray <08582>, which

<0834> went <08582> astray <08582> away from me after <0310>

their idols <01544>; they shall even bear <05375> their iniquity

<05771>.

11 Yet they shall be ministers <08334> in my sanctuary <04720>,

[having] charge <06486> at <0413> the gates <08179> of the house

<01004>, and ministering <08334> to the house <01004>: they

shall slay <07819> the burnt <05930> offering and the sacrifice

<02077> for the people <05971>, and they shall stand <05975>

before <06440> them to minister <08334> unto them.

12 Because they ministered <08334> unto them before <06440>

their idols <01544>, and caused the house <01004> of Israel

<03478> to fall <04383> into iniquity <05771>; therefore have I

lifted <05375> up mine hand <03027> against <05921> them, saith

<05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, and they shall bear <05375>

their iniquity <05771>.

13 And they shall not come <05066> near <05066> unto me, to do

the office of a priest <03547> unto me, nor to come <05066> near

<05066> to any <03605> of my holy <06944> things, in the most

<06944> holy <06944> [place]: but they shall bear <05375> their

shame <03639>, and their abominations <08441> which <0834> they

have committed <06213>.

14 But I will make them keepers <08104> of the charge <04931>

of the house <01004>, for all <03605> the service <05656>

thereof, and for all <03605> that shall be done <06213> therein.

15 But the priests <03548> the Levites <03881>, the sons

<01121> of Zadok <06659>, that kept <08104> the charge <04931>

of my sanctuary <04720> when the children <01121> of Israel

<03478> went <08582> astray <08582> from me, they shall come

<07126> near <07126> to me to minister <08334> unto me, and they

shall stand <05975> before <06440> me to offer <07126> unto me

the fat <02459> and the blood <01818>, saith <05002> the Lord

<0136> GOD <03069>:

16 They shall enter <0935> into <0413> my sanctuary <04720>,

and they shall come <07126> near <07126> to my table <07979>, to

minister <08334> unto me, and they shall keep <08104> my charge

<04931>.

17. And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] when they enter

<0935> in at <0413> the gates <08179> of the inner <06442> court

<02691>, they shall be clothed <03847> with linen <06593>

garments <0899>; and no <03808> wool <06785> shall come <05927>

upon them, whiles they minister <08334> in the gates <08179> of

the inner <06442> court <02691>, and within <01004>.

18 They shall have <01961> linen <06593> bonnets <06287> upon

their heads <07218>, and shall have <01961> linen <06593>

breeches <04370> upon their loins <04975>; they shall not gird

<02296> [themselves] with any thing that causeth sweat <03154>.

19 And when they go <03318> forth <03318> into <0413> the utter

<02435> court <02691>, [even] into <0413> the utter <02435>

court <02691> to the people <05971>, they shall put <06584> off

their garments <0899> wherein <0834> they ministered <08334>,

and lay <03241> them in the holy <06944> chambers <03957>, and

they shall put <03847> on other <0312> garments <0899>; and they

shall not sanctify <06942> the people <05971> with their

garments <0899>.

20 Neither <03808> shall they shave <01548> their heads <07218>,

nor <03808> suffer their locks <06545> to grow <07971> long;

they shall only <03697> poll <03697> their heads <07218>.

21 Neither <03808> shall any <03605> priest <03548> drink

<08354> wine <03196>, when they enter <0935> into <0413> the

inner <06442> court <02691>.

22 Neither <03808> shall they take <03947> for their wives

<0802> a widow <0490>, nor her that is put <01644> away: but

they shall take <03947> maidens <01330> of the seed <02233> of

the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, or a widow <0490> that had

<01961> a priest <03548> before.

23 And they shall teach <03384> my people <05971> [the

difference] between <0996> the holy <06944> and profane <02455>,

and cause them to discern <03045> between <0996> the unclean

<02931> and the clean <02889>.

24 And in controversy <07379> they shall stand <05975> in

judgment <08199>; [and] they shall judge <08199> it according to

my judgments <04941>: and they shall keep <08104> my laws

<08451> and my statutes <02708> in all <03605> mine assemblies

<04150>; and they shall hallow <06942> my sabbaths <07676>.

25 And they shall come <0935> at <0413> no <03808> dead <04191>

person <0120> to defile <02930> themselves: but for father <01>,

or for mother <0517>, or for son <01121>, or for daughter

<01323>, for brother <0251>, or for sister <0269> that hath had

<01961> no <03808> husband <0376>, they may defile <02930>

themselves.

26 And after <0310> he is cleansed <02893>, they shall reckon

<05608> unto him seven <07651> days <03117>.

27 And in the day <03117> that he goeth <0935> into <0413> the

sanctuary <06944>, unto the inner <06442> court <02691>, to

minister <08334> in the sanctuary <06944>, he shall offer

<07126> his sin <02403> offering, saith <05002> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>.

28 And it shall be unto them for an inheritance <05159>: I [am]

their inheritance <05159>: and ye shall give <05414> them no

<03808> possession <0272> in Israel <03478>: I [am] their

possession <0272>.

29 They shall eat <0398> the meat offering <04503>, and the sin

<02403> offering, and the trespass <0817> offering; and every

<03605> dedicated <02764> thing in Israel <03478> shall be

theirs <01992>.

30 And the first <07225> of all <03605> the firstfruits <01061>

of all <03605> [things], and every <03605> oblation <08641> of

all <03605>, of every <03605> [sort] of your oblations <08641>,

shall be the priest's <03548>: ye shall also give <05414> unto

the priest <03548> the first <07225> of your dough <06182>, that

he may cause the blessing <01293> to rest <05117> in thine house

<01004>.

31 The priests <03548> shall not eat <0398> of any <03605>

thing that is dead <05038> of itself, or torn <02966>, whether

<04480> it be fowl <05775> or beast <0929>.

Ezekiel 45

1. Moreover, when ye shall divide <05307> by lot the land

<0776> for inheritance <05159>, ye shall offer <07311> an

oblation <08641> unto the LORD <03068>, an holy <06944> portion

of the land <0776>: the length <0753> [shall be] the length

<0753> of five <02568> and twenty <06242> thousand <0505>

[reeds], and the breadth <07341> [shall be] ten <06235> thousand

<0505>. This <01931> [shall be] holy <06944> in all <03605> the

borders <01366> thereof round <05439> about.

2 Of this <02088> there shall be for the sanctuary <06944> five

<02568> hundred <03967> [in length], with five <02568> hundred

<03967> [in breadth <07341>], square <07251> round <05439> about;

and fifty <02572> cubits <0520> round <05439> about for the

suburbs <04054> thereof.

3 And of this <02063> measure <04060> shalt thou measure

<04058> the length <0753> of five <02568> and twenty <06242>

thousand <0505>, and the breadth <07341> of ten <06235> thousand

<0505>: and in it shall be the sanctuary <04720> [and] the most

<06944> holy <06944> [place].

4 The holy <06944> [portion] of the land <0776> shall be for

the priests <03548> the ministers <08334> of the sanctuary

<04720>, which shall come <07131> near <07131> to minister

<08334> unto the LORD <03068>: and it shall be a place <04725>

for their houses <01004>, and an holy <04720> place for the

sanctuary <04720>.

5 And the five <02568> and twenty <06242> thousand <0505> of

length <0753>, and the ten <06235> thousand <0505> of breadth

<07341>, shall also the Levites <03881>, the ministers <08334>

of the house <01004>, have <01961> for themselves <01992>, for a

possession <0272> for twenty <06242> chambers <03957>.

6 And ye shall appoint <05414> the possession <0272> of the

city <05892> five <02568> thousand <0505> broad <07341>, and

five <02568> and twenty <06242> thousand <0505> long <0753>,

over <05980> against <05980> the oblation <08641> of the holy

<06944> [portion]: it shall be for the whole <03605> house

<01004> of Israel <03478>.

7 And a [portion shall be] for the prince <05387> on the one

side and on the other <02088> side of the oblation <08641> of

the holy <06944> [portion], and of the possession <0272> of the

city <05892>, before the oblation <08641> of the holy <06944>

[portion], and before the possession <0272> of the city <05892>,

from the west <03220> side <06285> westward <03220>, and from

the east <06924> side <06285> eastward <06921>: and the length

<0753> [shall be] over <05980> against <05980> one <0259> of the

portions <02506>, from the west <03220> border <01366> unto the

east <06921> border <01366>.

8 In the land <0776> shall be his possession <0272> in Israel

<03478>: and my princes <05387> shall no <03808> more <05750>

oppress <03238> my people <05971>; and [the rest of] the land

<0776> shall they give <05414> to the house <01004> of Israel

<03478> according to their tribes <07626>.

9. Thus <03541> saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Let

it suffice <07227> you, O princes <05387> of Israel <03478>:

remove <05493> violence <02555> and spoil <07701>, and execute

<06213> judgment <04941> and justice <06666>, take <07311> away

<07311> your exactions <01646> from my people <05971>, saith

<0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

10 Ye shall have <01961> just <06664> balances <03976>, and a

just <06664> ephah <0374>, and a just <06664> bath <01324>.

11 The ephah <0374> and the bath <01324> shall be of one <0259>

measure <08506>, that the bath <01324> may contain <05375> the

tenth <04643> part of an homer <02563>, and the ephah <0374> the

tenth <06224> part of an homer <02563>: the measure <04971>

thereof shall be after the homer <02563>.

12 And the shekel <08255> [shall be] twenty <06242> gerahs

<01626>: twenty <06242> shekels <08255>, five <02568> and twenty

<06242> shekels <08255>, fifteen <02568> shekels <08255>, shall

be your maneh <04488>.

13. This <02063> [is] the oblation <08641> that ye shall offer

<07311>; the sixth <08345> part of an ephah <0374> of an homer

<02563> of wheat <02406>, and ye shall give the sixth <08341>

part of an ephah <0374> of an homer <02563> of barley <08184>:

14 Concerning the ordinance <02706> of oil <08081>, the bath

<01324> of oil <08081>, [ye shall offer] the tenth <04643> part

of a bath <01324> out of the cor <03734>, [which <04480> is] an

homer <02563> of ten <06235> baths <01324>; for ten <06235>

baths <01324> [are] an homer <02563>:

15 And one <0259> lamb <07716> out of the flock <06629>, out of

two hundred <03967>, out of the fat <04945> pastures <04945> of

Israel <03478>; for a meat offering <04503>, and for a burnt

<05930> offering, and for peace <08002> offerings, to make

reconciliation <03722> for them, saith <05002> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>.

16 All <03605> the people <05971> of the land <0776> shall give

this <02063> oblation <08641> for the prince <05387> in Israel

<03478>.

17 And it shall be the prince's <05387> part [to give] burnt

<05930> offerings, and meat offerings <04503>, and drink <05262>

offerings, in the feasts <02282>, and in the new <02320> moons

<02320>, and in the sabbaths <07676>, in all <03605> solemnities

<04150> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>: he shall prepare

<03559> the sin <02403> offering, and the meat offering <04503>,

and the burnt <05930> offering, and the peace <08002> offerings,

to make reconciliation <03722> for the house <01004> of Israel

<03478>.

18 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; In

the first <07223> [month], in the first <0259> [day] of the

month <02320>, thou shalt take <03947> a young bullock <06499>

without <08549> blemish <08549>, and cleanse <02398> the

sanctuary <04720>:

19 And the priest <03548> shall take <03947> of the blood

<01818> of the sin <02403> offering, and put <05414> [it] upon

the posts <04201> of the house <01004>, and upon the four <0702>

corners <06438> of the settle <05835> of the altar <04196>, and

upon the posts <04201> of the gate <08179> of the inner <06442>

court <02691>.

20 And so <03651> thou shalt do <06213> the seventh <07651>

[day] of the month <02320> for every <0376> one <0376> that

erreth <07686>, and for [him that is] simple <06612>: so shall

ye reconcile <03722> the house <01004>.

21 In the first <07223> [month], in the fourteenth day <03117>

of the month <02320>, ye shall have <01961> the passover <06453>,

a feast <02282> of seven <07651> days <03117>; unleavened

<04682> bread shall be eaten <0398>.

22 And upon that day <03117> shall the prince <05387> prepare

<03559> for himself and for all <03605> the people <05971> of

the land <0776> a bullock <06499> [for] a sin <02403> offering.

23 And seven <07651> days <03117> of the feast <02282> he shall

prepare <03559> a burnt <05930> offering to the LORD <03068>,

seven <07651> bullocks <06499> and seven <07651> rams <0352>

without <08549> blemish <08549> daily <03117> the seven <07651>

days <03117>; and a kid <08163> of the goats <05795> daily

<03117> [for] a sin <02403> offering.

24 And he shall prepare <03559> a meat offering <04503> of an

ephah <0374> for a bullock <06499>, and an ephah <0374> for a

ram <0352>, and an hin <01969> of oil <08081> for an ephah

<0374>.

25 In the seventh <07651> [month], in the fifteenth <06240> day

<03117> of the month <02320>, shall he do <06213> the like in

the feast <02282> of the seven <07651> days <03117>, according

to the sin <02403> offering, according to the burnt <05930>

offering, and according to the meat offering <04503>, and

according to the oil <08081>.

Ezekiel 46

1. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; The

gate <08179> of the inner <06442> court <02691> that looketh

<06437> toward the east <06921> shall be shut <05462> the six

<08337> working <04639> days <03117>; but on the sabbath <07676>

it shall be opened <06605>, and in the day <03117> of the new

<02320> moon <02320> it shall be opened <06605>.

2 And the prince <05387> shall enter <0935> by the way <01870>

of the porch <0197> of [that] gate <08179> without <02351>, and

shall stand <05975> by the post <04201> of the gate <08179>, and

the priests <03548> shall prepare <03559> his burnt <05930>

offering and his peace <08002> offerings, and he shall worship

<07812> at <05921> the threshold <04670> of the gate <08179>:

then he shall go <03318> forth <03318>; but the gate <08179>

shall not be shut <05462> until <05704> the evening <06153>.

3 Likewise the people <05971> of the land <0776> shall worship

<07812> at the door <06607> of this <01931> gate <08179> before

<06440> the LORD <03068> in the sabbaths <07676> and in the new

<02320> moons <02320>.

4 And the burnt <05930> offering that the prince <05387> shall

offer <07126> unto the LORD <03068> in the sabbath <07676> day

<03117> [shall be] six <08337> lambs <03532> without <08549>

blemish <08549>, and a ram <0352> without <08549> blemish

<08549>.

5 And the meat offering <04503> [shall be] an ephah <0374> for

a ram <0352>, and the meat offering <04503> for the lambs

<03532> as he shall be able to give <04991>, and an hin <01969>

of oil <08081> to an ephah <0374>.

6 And in the day <03117> of the new <02320> moon <02320> [it

shall be] a young bullock <06499> without <08549> blemish

<08549>, and six <08337> lambs <03532>, and a ram <0352>: they

shall be without <08549> blemish <08549>.

7 And he shall prepare <03559> a meat offering <04503>, an

ephah <0374> for a bullock <06499>, and an ephah <0374> for a

ram <0352>, and for the lambs <03532> according as his hand

<03027> shall attain <05381> unto, and an hin <01969> of oil

<08081> to an ephah <0374>.

8 And when the prince <05387> shall enter <0935>, he shall go

<0935> in by the way <01870> of the porch <0197> of [that] gate

<08179>, and he shall go <03318> forth <03318> by the way

<01870> thereof.

9 But when the people <05971> of the land <0776> shall come

<0935> before <06440> the LORD <03068> in the solemn <04150>

feasts <04150>, he that entereth <0935> in by the way <01870> of

the north <06828> gate <08179> to worship <07812> shall go

<03318> out by the way <01870> of the south <05045> gate <08179>;

and he that entereth <0935> by the way <01870> of the south

<05045> gate <08179> shall go <03318> forth <03318> by the way

<01870> of the north <06828> gate <08179>: he shall not return

<07725> by the way <01870> of the gate <08179> whereby <0834> he

came <0935> in, but shall go <03318> forth <03318> over <05226>

against <05227> it.

10 And the prince <05387> in the midst <08432> of them, when

they go <0935> in, shall go <03318> in; and when they go <03318>

forth <03318>, shall go <03318> forth <03318>.

11 And in the feasts <02282> and in the solemnities <04150> the

meat offering <04503> shall be an ephah <0374> to a bullock

<06499>, and an ephah <0374> to a ram <0352>, and to the lambs

<03532> as he is able to give <04991>, and an hin <01969> of oil

<08081> to an ephah <0374>.

12 Now <03588> when <03588> the prince <05387> shall prepare

<03559> a voluntary <05071> burnt <05930> offering or peace

<08002> offerings voluntarily <05071> unto the LORD <03068>,

[one] shall then open <06605> him the gate <08179> that looketh

<06437> toward the east <06921>, and he shall prepare <03559>

his burnt <05930> offering and his peace <08002> offerings, as

he did <06213> on the sabbath <07676> day <03117>: then he shall

go <03318> forth <03318>; and after <0310> his going <03318>

forth <03318> [one] shall shut <05462> the gate <08179>.

13 Thou shalt daily <03117> prepare <03559> a burnt <05930>

offering unto the LORD <03068> [of] a lamb <03532> of the first

<01121> year <08141> without <08549> blemish <08549>: thou shalt

prepare <03559> it every morning <01242>.

14 And thou shalt prepare <03559> a meat offering <04503> for

it every morning <01242>, the sixth <08345> part of an ephah

<0374>, and the third <07992> part of an hin <01969> of oil

<08081>, to temper <07450> with the fine flour <05560>; a meat

offering <04503> continually <08548> by a perpetual <05769>

ordinance <02708> unto the LORD <03068>.

15 Thus shall they prepare <03559> the lamb <03532>, and the

meat offering <04503>, and the oil <08081>, every morning

<01242> [for] a continual <08548> burnt <05930> offering.

16. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; If

<03588> the prince <05387> give <05414> a gift <04979> unto any

<0376> of his sons <01121>, the inheritance <05159> thereof

shall be his sons <01121>'; it [shall be] their possession

<0272> by inheritance <05159>.

17 But if <03588> he give <05414> a gift <04979> of his

inheritance <05159> to one <0259> of his servants <05650>, then

it shall be his to the year <08141> of liberty <01865>; after it

shall return <07725> to the prince <05387>: but his inheritance

<05159> shall be his sons <01121>' for them.

18 Moreover the prince <05387> shall not take <03947> of the

people's <05971> inheritance <05159> by oppression <03238>, to

thrust <03238> them out of their possession <0272>; [but] he

shall give his sons <01121> inheritance <05157> out of his own

possession <0272>: that my people <05971> be not scattered every

man <0376> from his possession <0272>.

19. After he brought <0935> me through the entry <03996>, which

<0834> [was] at <05921> the side of the gate <08179>, into

<0413> the holy <06944> chambers <03957> of the priests <03548>,

which looked <06437> toward the north <06828>: and, behold

<02009>, there <08033> [was] a place <04725> on the two sides

<03411> westward <03220>.

20 Then said <0559> he unto me, This <02088> [is] the place

<04725> where the priests <03548> shall boil <01310> the

trespass <0817> offering and the sin <02403> offering, where

<0834> they shall bake <0644> the meat offering <04503>; that

they bear <03318> [them] not out into <0413> the utter <02435>

court <02691>, to sanctify <06942> the people <05971>.

21 Then he brought <03318> me forth <03318> into <0413> the

utter <02435> court <02691>, and caused me to pass <05674> by

the four <0702> corners <04742> of the court <02691>; and,

behold <02009>, in every corner <04742> of the court <02691>

[there was] a court <02691>.

22 In the four <0702> corners <04742> of the court <02691>

[there were] courts <02691> joined <07000> of forty <0705>

[cubits] long <0753> and thirty <07970> broad <07341>: these

four <0702> corners <07106> [were] of one <0259> measure <04060>.

23 And [there was] a row <02905> [of building] round <05439>

about in them, round <05439> about them four <0702>, and [it

was] made <06213> with boiling <04018> places under <08478> the

rows <02918> round <05439> about.

24 Then said <0559> he unto me, These <0428> [are] the places

<01004> of them that boil <01310>, where the ministers <08334>

of the house <01004> shall boil <01310> the sacrifice <02077> of

the people <05971>.

Ezekiel 47

1. Afterward he brought <07725> me again <07725> unto the door

<06607> of the house <01004>; and, behold <02009>, waters

<04325> issued <03318> out from under <08478> the threshold

<04670> of the house <01004> eastward <06921>: for the forefront

<06440> of the house <01004> [stood toward] the east <06921>,

and the waters <04325> came <03381> down <03381> from under

<08478> from the right <03233> side of the house <01004>, at the

south <05045> [side] of the altar <04196>.

2 Then brought <03318> he me out of the way <01870> of the gate

<08179> northward <06828>, and led <05437> me about <05437> the

way <01870> without <02351> unto the utter <02531> gate <08179>

by the way <01870> that looketh <06437> eastward <06921>; and,

behold <02009>, there ran <06379> out waters <04325> on the

right <03233> side <03802>.

3 And when the man <0376> that had the line <06957> in his hand

<03027> went <03318> forth <03318> eastward <06921>, he measured

<04058> a thousand <0505> cubits <0520>, and he brought <05674>

me through <05674> the waters <04325>; the waters <04325> [were]

to the ankles <0657>.

4 Again he measured <04058> a thousand <0505>, and brought

<05674> me through <05674> the waters <04325>; the waters

<04325> [were] to the knees <01290>. Again he measured <04058> a

thousand <0505>, and brought <05674> me through <05674>; the

waters <04325> [were] to the loins <04975>.

5 Afterward he measured <04058> a thousand <0505>; [and it was]

a river <05158> that I could <03201> not pass <05674> over

<05674>: for the waters <04325> were risen <01342>, waters

<04325> to swim <07813> in, a river <05158> that could not be

passed <05674> over <05674>.

6 And he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, hast

thou seen <07200> [this]? Then he brought <03212> me, and caused

me to return <07725> to the brink <08193> of the river <05158>.

7 Now when I had returned <07725>, behold <02009>, at <0413>

the bank <08193> of the river <05158> [were] very <03966> many

<07227> trees <06086> on the one side and on the other <02088>.

8 Then said <0559> he unto me, These <0428> waters <04325>

issue <03318> out toward the east <06930> country <01552>, and

go <03381> down <03381> into <05921> the desert <06160>, and go

<0935> into the sea <03220>: [which being <01961>] brought

<03318> forth <03318> into the sea <03220>, the waters <04325>

shall be healed <07495>.

9 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] every <03605> thing

<05315> that liveth <02416>, which <0834> moveth <08317>,

whithersoever the rivers <05158> shall come <0935>, shall live

<02421>: and there shall be a very <03966> great <07227>

multitude of fish <01710>, because <03588> these <0428> waters

<04325> shall come <0935> thither: for they shall be healed

<07495>; and every <03605> thing shall live <02425> whither the

river <05158> cometh <0935>.

10 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] the fishers

<01728> shall stand <05975> upon it from Engedi <05872> even

unto Eneglaim <05882>; they shall be a [place] to spread <04894>

forth nets <02764>; their fish <01710> shall be according to

their kinds <04327>, as the fish <01710> of the great <01419>

sea <03220>, exceeding <03966> many <07227>.

11 But the miry <01207> places thereof and the marishes <01360>

thereof shall not be healed <07495>; they shall be given <05414>

to salt <04417>.

12 And by the river <05158> upon the bank <08193> thereof, on

this <02088> side and on that side, shall grow <05927> all

<03605> trees <06086> for meat <03978>, whose leaf <05929> shall

not fade <05034>, neither <03808> shall the fruit <06529>

thereof be consumed <08552>: it shall bring <01069> forth new

<01069> fruit <01061> according to his months <02320>, because

<03588> their waters <04325> they issued <03318> out of the

sanctuary <04720>: and the fruit <06529> thereof shall be for

meat <03978>, and the leaf <05929> thereof for medicine <08644>.

13. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; This

<02088> [shall be] the border <01366>, whereby <0834> ye shall

inherit <05157> the land <0776> according to the twelve tribes

<07626> of Israel <03478>: Joseph <03130> [shall have two]

portions <02256>.

14 And ye shall inherit <03423> it, one <0376> as well as

another <0250>: [concerning] the which <0834> I lifted <05375>

up mine hand <03027> to give <05414> it unto your fathers <01>:

and this <02063> land <0776> shall fall <05307> unto you for

inheritance <05159>.

15 And this <02088> [shall be] the border <01366> of the land

<0776> toward the north <06828> side <06285>, from the great

<01419> sea <03220>, the way <01870> of Hethlon <02855>, as men

go <0935> to Zedad <06657>;

16 Hamath <02574>, Berothah <01268>, Sibraim <05453>, which

<0834> [is] between <0996> the border <01366> of Damascus

<01834> and the border <01366> of Hamath <02574>; Hazarhatticon

<02694>, which <0834> [is] by the coast <01366> of Hauran

<02362>.

17 And the border <01366> from the sea <03220> shall be

Hazarenan <02703>, the border <01366> of Damascus <01834>, and

the north <06828> northward <06828>, and the border <01366> of

Hamath <02574>. And [this is] the north <06828> side <06285>.

18 And the east <06921> side <06285> ye shall measure <04058>

from Hauran <02362>, and from Damascus <01834>, and from Gilead

<01568>, and from the land <0776> of Israel <03478> [by] Jordan

<03383>, from the border <01366> unto the east <06931> sea

<03220>. And [this is] the east <06921> side <06285>.

19 And the south <05045> side <06285> southward <05045>, from

Tamar <08559> [even] to the waters <04325> of strife <04808>

[in] Kadesh <06946>, the river <05158> to the great <01419> sea

<03220>. And [this is] the south <08486> side <06285> southward

<05045>.

20 The west <03220> side <06285> also [shall be] the great

<01419> sea <03220> from the border <01366>, till <05704> a man

come <0935> over <05227> against Hamath <02574>. This <02063>

[is] the west <03220> side <06285>.

21 So shall ye divide <02505> this <02063> land <0776> unto you

according to the tribes <07626> of Israel <03478>.

22 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] ye shall divide

<05307> it by lot for an inheritance <05159> unto you, and to

the strangers <01616> that sojourn <01481> among <08432> you,

which <0834> shall beget <03205> children <01121> among <08432>

you: and they shall be unto you as born <0249> in the country

<0249> among the children <01121> of Israel <03478>; they shall

have <05307> inheritance <05159> with you among <08432> the

tribes <07626> of Israel <03478>.

23 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] in what <0834>

tribe <07626> the stranger <01616> sojourneth <01481>, there

<08033> shall ye give <05414> [him] his inheritance <05159>,

saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 48

1. Now these <0428> [are] the names <08034> of the tribes

<07626>. From the north <06828> end <07097> to the coast <03027>

of the way <01870> of Hethlon <02855>, as one goeth <0935> to

Hamath <02574>, Hazarenan <02704>, the border <01366> of

Damascus <01834> northward <06828>, to the coast <03027> of

Hamath <02574>; for these are his sides <06285> east <06921>

[and] west <03220>; a [portion for] Dan <01835>.

2 And by the border <01366> of Dan <01835>, from the east

3 And by the border <01366> of Asher <0836>, from the east

4 And by the border <01366> of Naphtali <05321>, from the east

[portion for] Manasseh <04519>.

5 And by the border <01366> of Manasseh <04519>, from the east

8 And by the border <01366> of Judah <03063>, from the east

<06921> side <06285> unto the west <03220> side <06285>, shall
