EZE 01:01 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the
fourth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, as I [was]
among the captives by the river of Chebar, [that] the heavens
were opened, and I saw visions of God.
EZE 01:02 In the fifth [day] of the month, which [was] the
fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
EZE 01:03 The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the
priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the
river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him.
EZE 01:04 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of
the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a
brightness [was] about it, and out of the midst thereof as the
colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
EZE 01:05 Also out of the midst thereof [came] the likeness of
four living creatures. And this [was] their appearance; they had
the likeness of a man.
EZE 01:06 And every one had four faces, and every one had four
wings.
EZE 01:07 And their feet [were] straight feet; and the sole of
their feet [was] like the sole of a calf's foot: and they
sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.
EZE 01:08 And [they had] the hands of a man under their wings
on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their
wings.
EZE 01:09 Their wings [were] joined one to another; they turned
not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
EZE 01:10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the
face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and
they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also
had the face of an eagle.
EZE 01:11 Thus [were] their faces: and their wings [were]
stretched upward; two [wings] of every one [were] joined one to
another, and two covered their bodies.
EZE 01:12 And they went every one straight forward: whither the
spirit was to go, they went; [and] they turned not when they
went.
EZE 01:13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their
appearance [was] like burning coals of fire, [and] like the
appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living
creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went
forth lightning.
EZE 01:14 And the living creatures ran and returned as the
appearance of a flash of lightning.
EZE 01:15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one
wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four
faces.
EZE 01:16 The appearance of the wheels and their work [was]
like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness:
and their appearance and their work [was] as it were a wheel in
the middle of a wheel.
EZE 01:17 When they went, they went upon their four sides:
[and] they turned not when they went.
EZE 01:18 As for their rings, they were so high that they were
dreadful; and their rings [were] full of eyes round about them
four.
EZE 01:19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went
by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the
earth, the wheels were lifted up.
EZE 01:20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went,
thither [was their] spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up
over against them: for the spirit of the living creature [was]
in the wheels.
EZE 01:21 When those went, [these] went; and when those stood,
[these] stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the
wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the
living creature [was] in the wheels.
EZE 01:22 And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of
the living creature [was] as the colour of the terrible crystal,
stretched forth over their heads above.
EZE 01:23 And under the firmament [were] their wings straight,
the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on
this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side,
their bodies.
EZE 01:24 And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings,
like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty,
the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood,
they let down their wings.
EZE 01:25 And there was a voice from the firmament that [was]
over their heads, when they stood, [and] had let down their
wings.
EZE 01:26 And above the firmament that [was] over their heads
[was] the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire
stone: and upon the likeness of the throne [was] the likeness as
the appearance of a man above upon it.
EZE 01:27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance
of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins
even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward,
I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness
round about.
EZE 01:28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in
the day of rain, so [was] the appearance of the brightness round
about. This [was] the appearance of the likeness of the glory of
the LORD. And when I saw [it], I fell upon my face, and I heard
a voice of one that spake.
EZE 02:01 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet,
and I will speak unto thee.
EZE 02:02 And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me,
and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.
EZE 02:03 And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the
children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled
against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me,
[even] unto this very day.
EZE 02:04 For [they are] impudent children and stiffhearted. I
do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith
the Lord GOD.
EZE 02:05 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they
will forbear, (for they [are] a rebellious house,) yet shall
know that there hath been a prophet among them.
EZE 02:06 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither
be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [be] with
thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of
their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they [be] a
rebellious house.
EZE 02:07 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they
will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they [are] most
rebellious.
EZE 02:08 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be
not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth,
and eat that I give thee.
EZE 02:09 And when I looked, behold, an hand [was] sent unto me;
and, lo, a roll of a book [was] therein;
EZE 02:10 And he spread it before me; and it [was] written
within and without: and [there was] written therein lamentations,
and mourning, and woe.
EZE 03:01 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou
findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
EZE 03:02 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that
roll.
EZE 03:03 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to
eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then
did I eat [it]; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
EZE 03:04 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto
the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
EZE 03:05 For thou [art] not sent to a people of a strange
speech and of an hard language, [but] to the house of Israel;
EZE 03:06 Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard
language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I
sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.
EZE 03:07 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee;
for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel
[are] impudent and hardhearted.
EZE 03:08 Behold, I have made thy face strong against their
faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
EZE 03:09 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy
forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks,
though they [be] a rebellious house.
EZE 03:10 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words
that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear
with thine ears.
EZE 03:11 And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the
children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus
saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will
forbear.
EZE 03:12 Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a
voice of a great rushing, [saying], Blessed [be] the glory of
the LORD from his place.
EZE 03:13 [I heard] also the noise of the wings of the living
creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels
over against them, and a noise of a great rushing.
EZE 03:14 So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I
went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of
the LORD was strong upon me.
EZE 03:15 Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that
dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and
remained there astonished among them seven days.
EZE 03:16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that
the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE 03:17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the
house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give
them warning from me.
EZE 03:18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die;
and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked
from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked [man]
shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine
hand.
EZE 03:19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his
wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his
iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
EZE 03:20 Again, When a righteous [man] doth turn from his
righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock
before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him
warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he
hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require
at thine hand.
EZE 03:21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous [man], that
the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live,
because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
EZE 03:22 And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he
said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there
talk with thee.
EZE 03:23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and,
