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>.
