EZE-1:1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the
fourth [month], in

the fifth [day] of the month, as I [was] among the captives by
the river of

Chebar, [that] the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.

EZE-1:2 In the fifth [day] of the month, which [was] the fifth
year of king

Jehoiachin's captivity,

EZE-1:3 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-1:4 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-1:5 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-1:6 And every one had four faces, and every one had four
wings.

EZE-1:7 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-1:8 And [they had] the hands of a man under their wings on
their four

sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.

EZE-1:9 Their wings [were] joined one to another; they turned
not when they

went; they went every one straight forward.

EZE-1:10 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-1:11 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-1:12 And they went every one straight forward: whither the
spirit was to

go, they went; [and] they turned not when they went.

EZE-1:13 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-1:14 And the living creatures ran and returned as the
appearance of a

flash of lightning.

EZE-1:15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel
upon the

earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.

EZE-1:16 The appearance of the wheels and their work [was] like
unto the

colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their
appearance and

their work [was] as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.

EZE-1:17 When they went, they went upon their four sides: [and]
they turned

not when they went.

EZE-1:18 As for their rings, they were so high that they were
dreadful; and

their rings [were] full of eyes round about them four.

EZE-1:19 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-1:20 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-1:21 When those went, [these] went; and when those stood,
[these] stood;

and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were
lifted up over

against them: for the spirit of the living creature [was] in the
wheels.

EZE-1:22 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-1:23 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-1:24 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-1:25 And there was a voice from the firmament that [was]
over their

heads, when they stood, [and] had let down their wings.

EZE-1:26 And above the firmament that [was] over their heads
[was] the

likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and
upon the

likeness of the throne [was] the likeness as the appearance of a
man above

upon it.

EZE-1:27 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-1:28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in
the day of

rain, so [was] the appearance of the brightness round about.
This [was] the

appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I
saw [it], I

fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.

EZE-2:1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet,
and I will

speak unto thee.

EZE-2:2 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-2:3 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-2:4 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-2:5 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-2:6 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-2:7 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they
will hear, or

whether they will forbear: for they [are] most rebellious.

EZE-2:8 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-2:9 And when I looked, behold, an hand [was] sent unto me;
and, lo, a

roll of a book [was] therein;

EZE-2:10 And he spread it before me; and it [was] written
within and without:

and [there was] written therein lamentations, and mourning, and
woe.

EZE-3:1 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou
findest; eat this

roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.

EZE-3:2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.

EZE-3:3 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-3:4 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the
house of

Israel, and speak with my words unto them.

EZE-3:5 For thou [art] not sent to a people of a strange speech
and of an

hard language, [but] to the house of Israel;

EZE-3:6 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-3:7 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for
they will not

hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel [are] impudent and
hardhearted.

EZE-3:8 Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces,
and thy

forehead strong against their foreheads.

EZE-3:9 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-3:10 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-3:11 And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the
children of thy

people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord
GOD; whether

they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

EZE-3:12 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-3:13 [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-3:14 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-3:15 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-3:16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the
word of the

LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-3:17 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-3:18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and
thou givest

him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked
way, to save

his life; the same wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but
his blood will

I require at thine hand.

EZE-3:19 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-3:20 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-3:21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous [man], that
the righteous

sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he
is warned; also

thou hast delivered thy soul.

EZE-3:22 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-3:23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and,
behold, the glory

of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river
of Chebar: and

I fell on my face.

EZE-3:24 Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my
feet, and spake

with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house.

EZE-3:25 But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands
upon thee, and

shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:

EZE-3:26 And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy
mouth, that

thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for
they [are] a

rebellious house.

EZE-3:27 But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and
thou shalt

say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him
hear; and he

that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they [are] a rebellious
house.

EZE-4:1 Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it
before thee, and

portray upon it the city, [even] Jerusalem:

EZE-4:2 And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it,
and cast a

mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set
[battering] rams

against it round about.

EZE-4:3 Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it
[for] a wall of

iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and
it shall be

besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This [shall be] a
sign to the

house of Israel.

EZE-4:4 Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity
of the house

of Israel upon it: [according] to the number of the days that
thou shalt lie

upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.

EZE-4:5 For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity,
according to

the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt
thou bear the

iniquity of the house of Israel.

EZE-4:6 And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy
right side,

and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty
days: I have

appointed thee each day for a year.

EZE-4:7 Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of
Jerusalem, and

thine arm [shall be] uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against
it.

EZE-4:8 And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt
not turn thee

from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy
siege.

EZE-4:9 Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans,
and lentiles,

and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make
thee bread

thereof, [according] to the number of the days that thou shalt
lie upon thy

side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.

EZE-4:10 And thy meat which thou shalt eat [shall be] by weight,
twenty

shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.

EZE-4:11 Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part
of an hin:

from time to time shalt thou drink.

EZE-4:12 And thou shalt eat it [as] barley cakes, and thou
shalt bake it with

dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.

EZE-4:13 And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of
Israel eat their

defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.

EZE-4:14 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not
been polluted:

for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that
which dieth of

itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable
flesh into my

mouth.

EZE-4:15 Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung
for man's

dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.

EZE-4:16 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will
break the staff

of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and
with care; and

they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:

EZE-4:17 That they may want bread and water, and be astonied
one with

another, and consume away for their iniquity.

EZE-5:1 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take
thee a barber's

razor, and cause [it] to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard:
then take

thee balances to weigh, and divide the [hair].

EZE-5:2 Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of
the city, when

the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third
part, [and]

smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter
in the wind;

and I will draw out a sword after them.

EZE-5:3 Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind
them in thy

skirts.

EZE-5:4 Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst
of the fire,

and burn them in the fire; [for] thereof shall a fire come forth
into all the

house of Israel.

EZE-5:5 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This [is] Jerusalem: I have
set it in the

midst of the nations and countries [that are] round about her.

EZE-5:6 And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more
than the

nations, and my statutes more than the countries that [are]
round about her:

for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have
not walked in

them.

EZE-5:7 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye
multiplied more than

the nations that [are] round about you, [and] have not walked in
my statutes,

neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to
the judgments

of the nations that [are] round about you;

EZE-5:8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I,
[am] against

thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the
sight of the

nations.

EZE-5:9 And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and
whereunto I

will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.


EZE-5:10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst
of thee, and

the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments
in thee, and

the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.

EZE-5:11 Wherefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely,
because thou

hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and
with all thine

abominations, therefore will I also diminish [thee]; neither
shall mine eye

spare, neither will I have any pity.

EZE-5:12 A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence,
and with famine

shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part
shall fall by

the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into
all the

winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.

EZE-5:13 Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will
cause my fury to

rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know
that I the LORD

have spoken [it] in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in
them.

EZE-5:14 Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among
the nations

that [are] round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.

EZE-5:15 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction
and an

astonishment unto the nations that [are] round about thee, when
I shall

execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious
rebukes. I the

LORD have spoken [it].

EZE-5:16 When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine,
which shall

be for [their] destruction, [and] which I will send to destroy
you: and I will

increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:


EZE-5:17 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and
they shall

bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee;
and I will

bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken [it].

EZE-6:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-6:2 Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel,
and prophesy

against them,

EZE-6:3 And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the
Lord GOD; Thus

saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the
rivers, and to

the valleys; Behold, I, [even] I, will bring a sword upon you,
and I will

destroy your high places.

EZE-6:4 And your altars shall be desolate, and your images
shall be broken:

and I will cast down your slain [men] before your idols.

EZE-6:5 And I will lay the dead carcases of the children of
Israel before

their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your
altars.

EZE-6:6 In all your dwellingplaces the cities shall be laid
waste, and the

high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid
waste and made

desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your
images may be cut

down, and your works may be abolished.

EZE-6:7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye
shall know that

I [am] the LORD.

EZE-6:8 Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have [some]
that shall escape

the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through
the countries.



EZE-6:9 And they that escape of you shall remember me among the
nations

whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with
their whorish

heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which
go a whoring

after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves for the
evils which they

have committed in all their abominations.

EZE-6:10 And they shall know that I [am] the LORD, [and that] I
have not said

in vain that I would do this evil unto them.

EZE-6:11 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Smite with thine hand, and
stamp with thy

foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house
of Israel! for

they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the
pestilence.

EZE-6:12 He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he
that is near

shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged
shall die by

the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them.

EZE-6:13 Then shall ye know that I [am] the LORD, when their
slain [men]

shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every
high hill, in

all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and
under every

thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all
their idols.

EZE-6:14 So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the
land desolate,

yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all
their

habitations: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-7:1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-7:2 Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the
land of

Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the
land.

EZE-7:3 Now [is] the end [come] upon thee, and I will send mine
anger upon

thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will
recompense upon thee

all thine abominations.

EZE-7:4 And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have
pity: but I

will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall
be in the

midst of thee: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-7:5 Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold,
is come.

EZE-7:6 An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee;
behold, it is

come.

EZE-7:7 The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in
the land: the

time is come, the day of trouble [is] near, and not the sounding
again of the

mountains.

EZE-7:8 Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and
accomplish mine

anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways,
and will

recompense thee for all thine abominations.

EZE-7:9 And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity:
I will

recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations
[that] are in the

midst of thee; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD that
smiteth.

EZE-7:10 Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is
gone forth; the

rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.

EZE-7:11 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of
them [shall

remain], nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither
[shall there

be] wailing for them.

EZE-7:12 The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the
buyer rejoice,

nor the seller mourn: for wrath [is] upon all the multitude
thereof.

EZE-7:13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold,
although they

were yet alive: for the vision [is] touching the whole multitude
thereof,

[which] shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself
in the iniquity

of his life.

EZE-7:14 They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready;
but none goeth

to the battle: for my wrath [is] upon all the multitude thereof.

EZE-7:15 The sword [is] without, and the pestilence and the
famine within: he

that [is] in the field shall die with the sword; and he that
[is] in the city,

famine and pestilence shall devour him.

EZE-7:16 But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall
be on the

mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every
one for his

iniquity.

EZE-7:17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak
[as] water.

EZE-7:18 They shall also gird [themselves] with sackcloth, and
horror shall

cover them; and shame [shall be] upon all faces, and baldness
upon all their

heads.

EZE-7:19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their
gold shall be

removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to
deliver them in the

day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls,
neither fill

their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.


EZE-7:20 As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in
majesty: but they

made the images of their abominations [and] of their detestable
things

therein: therefore have I set it far from them.

EZE-7:21 And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for
a prey, and

to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute
it.

EZE-7:22 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall
pollute my secret

[place]: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.

EZE-7:23 Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes,
and the city is

full of violence.

EZE-7:24 Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and
they shall

possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to
cease; and

their holy places shall be defiled.

EZE-7:25 Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and
[there shall be]

none.

EZE-7:26 Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be
upon rumour;

then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall
perish from

the priest, and counsel from the ancients.

EZE-7:27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed
with

desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be
troubled: I will

do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts
will I judge

them; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-8:1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth
[month], in the

fifth [day] of the month, [as] I sat in mine house, and the
elders of Judah

sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me.

EZE-8:2 Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of
fire: from the

appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins
even upward,

as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.

EZE-8:3 And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a
lock of mine

head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the
heaven, and

brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of
the inner gate

that looketh toward the north; where [was] the seat of the image
of jealousy,

which provoketh to jealousy.

EZE-8:4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel [was] there,
according to

the vision that I saw in the plain.

EZE-8:5 Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes
now the way

toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the
north, and

behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy
in the entry.



EZE-8:6 He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou
what they do?

[even] the great abominations that the house of Israel
committeth here, that I

should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again,
[and] thou shalt

see greater abominations.

EZE-8:7 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I
looked, behold

a hole in the wall.

EZE-8:8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall:
and when I had

digged in the wall, behold a door.

EZE-8:9 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked
abominations that

they do here.

EZE-8:10 So I went in and saw; and behold every form of
creeping things, and

abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel,
portrayed upon

the wall round about.

EZE-8:11 And there stood before them seventy men of the
ancients of the house

of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of
Shaphan, with

every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense
went up.

EZE-8:12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what
the ancients

of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers
of his

imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath
forsaken the

earth.

EZE-8:13 He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, [and] thou
shalt see

greater abominations that they do.

EZE-8:14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the
LORD'S house which

[was] toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for
Tammuz.

EZE-8:15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen [this], O son of
man? turn thee

yet again, [and] thou shalt see greater abominations than these.

EZE-8:16 And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S
house, and,

behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch
and the

altar, [were] about five and twenty men, with their backs toward
the temple of

the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped
the sun toward

the east.

EZE-8:17 Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen [this], O son of
man? Is it a

light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the
abominations which they

commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and
have returned to

provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.

EZE-8:18 Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not
spare,

neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with
a loud voice,

[yet] will I not hear them.

EZE-9:1 He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying,
Cause them that

have charge over the city to draw near, even every man [with]
his destroying

weapon in his hand.

EZE-9:2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher
gate, which

lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his
hand; and one

man among them [was] clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn
by his side:

and they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.

EZE-9:3 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the
cherub,

whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called
to the man

clothed with linen, which [had] the writer's inkhorn by his side;


EZE-9:4 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the
city, through

the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the
men that sigh

and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst
thereof.

EZE-9:5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after
him through

the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye
pity:

EZE-9:6 Slay utterly old [and] young, both maids, and little
children, and

women: but come not near any man upon whom [is] the mark; and
begin at my

sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which [were]
before the house.

EZE-9:7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the
courts with the

slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.

EZE-9:8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and
I was left,

that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt
thou destroy

all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon
Jerusalem?

EZE-9:9 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of
Israel and Judah

[is] exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the
city full of

perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth,
and the LORD

seeth not.

EZE-9:10 And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither
will I have

pity, [but] I will recompense their way upon their head.

EZE-9:11 And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which [had]
the inkhorn by

his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast
commanded me.

EZE-10:1 Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was
above the head

of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire
stone, as the

appearance of the likeness of a throne.

EZE-10:2 And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said,
Go in

between the wheels, [even] under the cherub, and fill thine hand
with coals of

fire from between the cherubims, and scatter [them] over the
city. And he went

in in my sight.

EZE-10:3 Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house,
when the man

went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

EZE-10:4 Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub,
[and stood] over

the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the
cloud, and the

court was full of the brightness of the LORD'S glory.

EZE-10:5 And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard [even]
to the outer

court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.

EZE-10:6 And it came to pass, [that] when he had commanded the
man clothed

with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from
between the

cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.

EZE-10:7 And [one] cherub stretched forth his hand from between
the cherubims

unto the fire that [was] between the cherubims, and took
[thereof], and put

[it] into the hands of [him that was] clothed with linen: who
took [it], and

went out.

EZE-10:8 And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a
man's hand under

their wings.

EZE-10:9 And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the
cherubims, one

wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and
the appearance

of the wheels [was] as the colour of a beryl stone.

EZE-10:10 And [as for] their appearances, they four had one
likeness, as if a

wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.

EZE-10:11 When they went, they went upon their four sides; they
turned not as

they went, but to the place whither the head looked they
followed it; they

turned not as they went.

EZE-10:12 And their whole body, and their backs, and their
hands, and their

wings, and the wheels, [were] full of eyes round about, [even]
the wheels that

they four had.

EZE-10:13 As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my
hearing, O wheel.

EZE-10:14 And every one had four faces: the first face [was]
the face of a

cherub, and the second face [was] the face of a man, and the
third the face of

a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

EZE-10:15 And the cherubims were lifted up. This [is] the
living creature

that I saw by the river of Chebar.

EZE-10:16 And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them:
and when the

cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the
same wheels

also turned not from beside them.

EZE-10:17 When they stood, [these] stood; and when they were
lifted up,

[these] lifted up themselves [also]: for the spirit of the
living creature

[was] in them.

EZE-10:18 Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the
threshold of the

house, and stood over the cherubims.

EZE-10:19 And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted
up from the

earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also [were]
beside them, and

[every one] stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD'S
house; and the

glory of the God of Israel [was] over them above.

EZE-10:20 This [is] the living creature that I saw under the
God of Israel by

the river of Chebar; and I knew that they [were] the cherubims.

EZE-10:21 Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four
wings; and the

likeness of the hands of a man [was] under their wings.

EZE-10:22 And the likeness of their faces [was] the same faces
which I saw by

the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went
every one

straight forward.

EZE-11:1 Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto
the east gate

of the LORD'S house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the
door of the

gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of
Azur, and

Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.

EZE-11:2 Then said he unto me, Son of man, these [are] the men
that devise

mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:

EZE-11:3 Which say, [It is] not near; let us build houses: this
[city is] the

caldron, and we [be] the flesh.

EZE-11:4 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of
man.

EZE-11:5 And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto
me, Speak;

Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I
know the

things that come into your mind, [every one of] them.

EZE-11:6 Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye
have filled the

streets thereof with the slain.

EZE-11:7 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Your slain whom ye
have laid in

the midst of it, they [are] the flesh, and this [city is] the
caldron: but I

will bring you forth out of the midst of it.

EZE-11:8 Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword
upon you, saith

the Lord GOD.

EZE-11:9 And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and
deliver you into

the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.

EZE-11:10 Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the
border of

Israel; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-11:11 This [city] shall not be your caldron, neither shall
ye be the

flesh in the midst thereof; [but] I will judge you in the border
of Israel:

EZE-11:12 And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD: for ye have
not walked in

my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after
the manners of

the heathen that [are] round about you.

EZE-11:13 And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah
the son of

Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a
loud voice, and

said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of
Israel?

EZE-11:14 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-11:15 Son of man, thy brethren, [even] thy brethren, the
men of thy

kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, [are] they unto
whom the

inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the LORD:
unto us is this

land given in possession.

EZE-11:16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I
have cast them

far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them
among the

countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the
countries where

they shall come.

EZE-11:17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even
gather you from

the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have
been

scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.

EZE-11:18 And they shall come thither, and they shall take away
all the

detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from
thence.

EZE-11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new
spirit within

you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and
will give them an

heart of flesh:

EZE-11:20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine
ordinances, and do

them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

EZE-11:21 But [as for them] whose heart walketh after the heart
of their

detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense
their way upon

their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-11:22 Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the
wheels beside

them; and the glory of the God of Israel [was] over them above.

EZE-11:23 And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of
the city, and

stood upon the mountain which [is] on the east side of the city.

EZE-11:24 Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a
vision by the

Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the
vision that I had

seen went up from me.

EZE-11:25 Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the
things that the

LORD had showed me.

EZE-12:1 The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,

EZE-12:2 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious
house, which

have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear
not: for they

[are] a rebellious house.

EZE-12:3 Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for
removing, and

remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy
place to another

place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they
[be] a

rebellious house.

EZE-12:4 Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their
sight, as

stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their
sight, as they

that go forth into captivity.

EZE-12:5 Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry
out thereby.

EZE-12:6 In their sight shalt thou bear [it] upon [thy]
shoulders, [and]

carry [it] forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face,
that thou see not

the ground: for I have set thee [for] a sign unto the house of
Israel.

EZE-12:7 And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my
stuff by day, as

stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall
with mine hand;

I brought [it] forth in the twilight, [and] I bare [it] upon
[my] shoulder in

their sight.

EZE-12:8 And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me,
saying,

EZE-12:9 Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the
rebellious house, said

unto thee, What doest thou?

EZE-12:10 Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; This
burden

[concerneth] the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of
Israel that [are]

among them.

EZE-12:11 Say, I [am] your sign: like as I have done, so shall
it be done

unto them: they shall remove [and] go into captivity.

EZE-12:12 And the prince that [is] among them shall bear upon
[his] shoulder

in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the
wall to carry

out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground
with [his]

eyes.

EZE-12:13 My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be
taken in my

snare: and I will bring him to Babylon [to] the land of the
Chaldeans; yet

shall he not see it, though he shall die there.

EZE-12:14 And I will scatter toward every wind all that [are]
about him to

help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after
them.

EZE-12:15 And they shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I
shall scatter them

among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.

EZE-12:16 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword,
from the famine,

and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their
abominations among

the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I [am]
the LORD.

EZE-12:17 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

EZE-12:18 Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy
water with

trembling and with carefulness;

EZE-12:19 And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the
Lord GOD of the

inhabitants of Jerusalem, [and] of the land of Israel; They
shall eat their

bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment,
that her land

may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the
violence of all them

that dwell therein.

EZE-12:20 And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste,
and the land

shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-12:21 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-12:22 Son of man, what [is] that proverb [that] ye have in
the land of

Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision
faileth?

EZE-12:23 Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will
make this

proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in
Israel; but

say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every
vision.

EZE-12:24 For there shall be no more any vain vision nor
flattering

divination within the house of Israel.

EZE-12:25 For I [am] the LORD: I will speak, and the word that
I shall speak

shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your
days, O

rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it,
saith the Lord

GOD.

EZE-12:26 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

EZE-12:27 Son of man, behold, [they of] the house of Israel say,
The vision

that he seeth [is] for many days [to come], and he prophesieth
of the times

[that are] far off.

EZE-12:28 Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
There shall none

of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have
spoken shall be

done, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-13:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-13:2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel
that prophesy,

and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts,
Hear ye the word

of the LORD;

EZE-13:3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets,
that follow

their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

EZE-13:4 O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the
deserts.

EZE-13:5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the
hedge for the

house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.

EZE-13:6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying,
The LORD saith:

and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made [others] to
hope that they

would confirm the word.

EZE-13:7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken
a lying

divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith [it]; albeit I have
not spoken?

EZE-13:8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have
spoken vanity,

and seen lies, therefore, behold, I [am] against you, saith the
Lord GOD.

EZE-13:9 And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see
vanity, and that

divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people,
neither shall

they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither
shall they

enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I [am] the
Lord GOD.

EZE-13:10 Because, even because they have seduced my people,
saying, Peace;

and [there was] no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo,
others daubed it

with untempered [mortar]:

EZE-13:11 Say unto them which daub [it] with untempered
[mortar], that it

shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O
great hailstones,

shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend [it].

EZE-13:12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said
unto you, Where

[is] the daubing wherewith ye have daubed [it]?

EZE-13:13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend
[it] with a

stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower
in mine

anger, and great hailstones in [my] fury to consume [it].

EZE-13:14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed
with untempered

[mortar], and bring it down to the ground, so that the
foundation thereof

shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed
in the midst

thereof: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-13:15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and
upon them that

have daubed it with untempered [mortar], and will say unto you,
The wall [is]

no [more], neither they that daubed it;

EZE-13:16 [To wit], the prophets of Israel which prophesy
concerning

Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and [there
is] no peace,

saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-13:17 Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the
daughters of

thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy
thou against

them,

EZE-13:18 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the [women]
that sew

pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of
every stature to

hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye
save the souls

alive [that come] unto you?

EZE-13:19 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls
of barley and

for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and
to save the

souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people
that hear [your]

lies?

EZE-13:20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am]
against your

pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make [them] fly,
and I will tear

them from your arms, and will let the souls go, [even] the souls
that ye hunt

to make [them] fly.

EZE-13:21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my
people out of your

hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and
ye shall know

that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-13:22 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the
righteous sad, whom

I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked,
that he should

not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:

EZE-13:23 Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine
divinations: for

I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know
that I [am] the

LORD.

EZE-14:1 Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and
sat before

me.

EZE-14:2 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-14:3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their
heart, and

put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face:
should I be

inquired of at all by them?

EZE-14:4 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus
saith the Lord

GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols
in his heart,

and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face,
and cometh to

the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to
the multitude

of his idols;

EZE-14:5 That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart,
because they

are all estranged from me through their idols.

EZE-14:6 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the
Lord GOD;

Repent, and turn [yourselves] from your idols; and turn away
your faces from

all your abominations.

EZE-14:7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the
stranger that

sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and
setteth up his

idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his
iniquity before his

face, and cometh to a prophet to inquire of him concerning me; I
the LORD will

answer him by myself:

EZE-14:8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make
him a sign

and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my
people; and ye

shall know that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-14:9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a
thing, I the

LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand
upon him, and

will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.

EZE-14:10 And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity:
the

punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him
that seeketh

[unto him];

EZE-14:11 That the house of Israel may go no more astray from
me, neither be

polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they
may be my

people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-14:12 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,

EZE-14:13 Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by
trespassing

grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will
break the

staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and
will cut off man

and beast from it:

EZE-14:14 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were
in it, they

should deliver [but] their own souls by their righteousness,
saith the Lord

GOD.

EZE-14:15 If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land,
and they spoil

it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because
of the

beasts:

EZE-14:16 [Though] these three men [were] in it, [as] I live,
saith the Lord

GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only
shall be

delivered, but the land shall be desolate.

EZE-14:17 Or [if] I bring a sword upon that land, and say,
Sword, go through

the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:

EZE-14:18 Though these three men [were] in it, [as] I live,
saith the Lord

GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they
only shall be

delivered themselves.

EZE-14:19 Or [if] I send a pestilence into that land, and pour
out my fury

upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:

EZE-14:20 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, [were] in it, [as] I
live, saith the

Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they
shall [but]

deliver their own souls by their righteousness.

EZE-14:21 For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I
send my four sore

judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the
noisome beast,

and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?

EZE-14:22 Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that
shall be brought

forth, [both] sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth
unto you, and

ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be
comforted concerning

the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, [even] concerning
all that I have

brought upon it.

EZE-14:23 And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways
and their

doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all
that I have

done in it, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-15:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-15:2 Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree,
[or than] a

branch which is among the trees of the forest?

EZE-15:3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will
[men] take a pin

of it to hang any vessel thereon?

EZE-15:4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire
devoureth both

the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet for
[any] work?

EZE-15:5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work:
how much less

shall it be meet yet for [any] work, when the fire hath devoured
it, and it is

burned?

EZE-15:6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As the vine tree
among the trees

of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will
I give the

inhabitants of Jerusalem.

EZE-15:7 And I will set my face against them; they shall go out
from [one]

fire, and [another] fire shall devour them; and ye shall know
that I [am] the

LORD, when I set my face against them.

EZE-15:8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have
committed a

trespass, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-16:1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-16:2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,

EZE-16:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy
birth and thy

nativity [is] of the land of Canaan; thy father [was] an Amorite,
and thy

mother an Hittite.

EZE-16:4 And [as for] thy nativity, in the day thou wast born
thy navel was

not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple [thee];
thou wast not

salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

EZE-16:5 None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to
have

compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field,
to the

loathing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.

EZE-16:6 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in
thine own blood,

I said unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood, Live; yea, I
said unto thee

[when thou wast] in thy blood, Live.

EZE-16:7 I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field,
and thou

hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent
ornaments:

[thy] breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas
thou [wast]

naked and bare.

EZE-16:8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee,
behold, thy time

[was] the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and
covered thy

nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant
with thee,

saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.

EZE-16:9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I thoroughly
washed away thy

blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.

EZE-16:10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod
thee with

badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I
covered thee

with silk.

EZE-16:11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put
bracelets upon thy

hands, and a chain on thy neck.

EZE-16:12 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in
thine ears, and

a beautiful crown upon thine head.

EZE-16:13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy
raiment [was

of] fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat
fine flour, and

honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou
didst prosper into

a kingdom.

EZE-16:14 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy
beauty: for it

[was] perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee,
saith the Lord

GOD.

EZE-16:15 But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and
playedst the harlot

because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on
every one that

passed by; his it was.

EZE-16:16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy
high places

with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: [the
like things]

shall not come, neither shall it be [so].

EZE-16:17 Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and
of my silver,

which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and
didst commit

whoredom with them,

EZE-16:18 And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst
them: and thou

hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.

EZE-16:19 My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil,
and honey,

[wherewith] I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for a
sweet savour:

and [thus] it was, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-16:20 Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters,
whom thou hast

borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be
devoured. [Is

this] of thy whoredoms a small matter,

EZE-16:21 That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them
to cause them

to pass through [the fire] for them?

EZE-16:22 And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou
hast not

remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare,
[and] wast

polluted in thy blood.

EZE-16:23 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe,
woe unto thee!

saith the Lord GOD;)

EZE-16:24 [That] thou hast also built unto thee an eminent
place, and hast

made thee an high place in every street.

EZE-16:25 Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the
way, and hast

made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to
every one that

passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.

EZE-16:26 Thou hast also committed fornication with the
Egyptians thy

neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to
provoke me to

anger.

EZE-16:27 Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over
thee, and have

diminished thine ordinary [food], and delivered thee unto the
will of them

that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are
ashamed of thy

lewd way.

EZE-16:28 Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians,
because thou

wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and
yet couldest

not be satisfied.

EZE-16:29 Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the
land of Canaan

unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.

EZE-16:30 How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing
thou doest all

these [things], the work of an imperious whorish woman;

EZE-16:31 In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head
of every way,

and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been
as an harlot,

in that thou scornest hire;

EZE-16:32 [But as] a wife that committeth adultery, [which]
taketh strangers

instead of her husband!

EZE-16:33 They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy
gifts to all thy

lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every
side for thy

whoredom.

EZE-16:34 And the contrary is in thee from [other] women in thy
whoredoms,

whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that
thou givest a

reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art
contrary.

EZE-16:35 Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:

EZE-16:36 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was
poured out, and

thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers,
and with all

the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children,
which thou

didst give unto them;

EZE-16:37 Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with
whom thou hast

taken pleasure, and all [them] that thou hast loved, with all
[them] that thou

hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee,
and will

discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy
nakedness.

EZE-16:38 And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock
and shed blood

are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.

EZE-16:39 And I will also give thee into their hand, and they
shall throw

down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places:
they shall

strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels,
and leave thee

naked and bare.

EZE-16:40 They shall also bring up a company against thee, and
they shall

stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their
swords.

EZE-16:41 And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and
execute judgments

upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to
cease from

playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.

EZE-16:42 So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my
jealousy shall

depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.


EZE-16:43 Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy
youth, but hast

fretted me in all these [things]; behold, therefore I also will
recompense thy

way upon [thine] head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not
commit this

lewdness above all thine abominations.

EZE-16:44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use
[this] proverb

against thee, saying, As [is] the mother, [so is] her daughter.

EZE-16:45 Thou [art] thy mother's daughter, that loatheth her
husband and her

children; and thou [art] the sister of thy sisters, which
loathed their

husbands and their children: your mother [was] an Hittite, and
your father an

Amorite.

EZE-16:46 And thine elder sister [is] Samaria, she and her
daughters that

dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at
thy right

hand, [is] Sodom and her daughters.

EZE-16:47 Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done
after their

abominations: but, as [if that were] a very little [thing], thou
wast

corrupted more than they in all thy ways.

EZE-16:48 [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister
hath not done,

she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.


EZE-16:49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom,
pride, fulness

of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her
daughters, neither

did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

EZE-16:50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination
before me:

therefore I took them away as I saw [good].

EZE-16:51 Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but
thou hast

multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified
thy sisters

in all thine abominations which thou hast done.

EZE-16:52 Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine
own shame for

thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they:
they are more

righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy
shame, in that

thou hast justified thy sisters.

EZE-16:53 When I shall bring again their captivity, the
captivity of Sodom

and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her
daughters, then [will

I bring again] the captivity of thy captives in the midst of
them:

EZE-16:54 That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be
confounded in

all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.

EZE-16:55 When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall
return to their

former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to
their former

estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former
estate.

EZE-16:56 For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth
in the day of

thy pride,

EZE-16:57 Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time
of [thy]

reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all [that are] round
about her, the

daughters of the Philistines, which despise thee round about.

EZE-16:58 Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations,
saith the

LORD.

EZE-16:59 For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with
thee as thou

hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.


EZE-16:60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in
the days of

thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting
covenant.

EZE-16:61 Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed,
when thou shalt

receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will
give them unto

thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.

EZE-16:62 And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou
shalt know

that I [am] the LORD:

EZE-16:63 That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and
never open thy

mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward
thee for all

that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-17:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-17:2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable
unto the house

of Israel;

EZE-17:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; A great eagle with
great wings,

longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came
unto Lebanon, and

took the highest branch of the cedar:

EZE-17:4 He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried
it into a

land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants.

EZE-17:5 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it
in a fruitful

field; he placed [it] by great waters, [and] set it [as] a
willow tree.

EZE-17:6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low
stature, whose

branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him:
so it became

a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.

EZE-17:7 There was also another great eagle with great wings
and many

feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him,
and shot forth

her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows
of her

plantation.

EZE-17:8 It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it
might bring

forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a
goodly vine.

EZE-17:9 Say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Shall it prosper?
shall he not

pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that
it wither? it

shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great
power or many

people to pluck it up by the roots thereof.

EZE-17:10 Yea, behold, [being] planted, shall it prosper? shall
it not

utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither
in the furrows

where it grew.

EZE-17:11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-17:12 Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what
these [things

mean]? tell [them], Behold, the king of Babylon is come to
Jerusalem, and hath

taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them
with him to

Babylon;

EZE-17:13 And hath taken of the king's seed, and made a
covenant with him,

and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of
the land:

EZE-17:14 That the kingdom might be base, that it might not
lift itself up,

[but] that by keeping of his covenant it might stand.

EZE-17:15 But he rebelled against him in sending his
ambassadors into Egypt,

that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he
prosper? shall he

escape that doeth such [things]? or shall he break the covenant,
and be

delivered?

EZE-17:16 [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place
[where] the

king [dwelleth] that made him king, whose oath he despised, and
whose covenant

he brake, [even] with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.

EZE-17:17 Neither shall Pharaoh with [his] mighty army and
great company make

for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to
cut off many

persons:

EZE-17:18 Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant,
when, lo, he

had given his hand, and hath done all these [things], he shall
not escape.

EZE-17:19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; [As] I live,
surely mine oath

that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even
it will I

recompense upon his own head.

EZE-17:20 And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be
taken in my

snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him
there for his

trespass that he hath trespassed against me.

EZE-17:21 And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall
by the sword,

and they that remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye
shall know

that I the LORD have spoken [it].

EZE-17:22 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the
highest branch of

the high cedar, and will set [it]; I will crop off from the top
of his young

twigs a tender one, and will plant [it] upon an high mountain
and eminent:

EZE-17:23 In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant
it: and it

shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar:
and under it

shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the
branches thereof

shall they dwell.

EZE-17:24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the
LORD have

brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have
dried up the green

tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have
spoken and have

done [it].

EZE-18:1 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,

EZE-18:2 What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the
land of

Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the
children's teeth

are set on edge?

EZE-18:3 [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have
[occasion] any

more to use this proverb in Israel.

EZE-18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father,
so also the

soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

EZE-18:5 But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and
right,

EZE-18:6 [And] hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath
lifted up his

eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled
his neighbour's

wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman,

EZE-18:7 And hath not oppressed any, [but] hath restored to the
debtor his

pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to
the hungry, and

hath covered the naked with a garment;

EZE-18:8 He [that] hath not given forth upon usury, neither
hath taken any

increase, [that] hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath
executed true

judgment between man and man,

EZE-18:9 Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments,
to deal

truly; he [is] just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-18:10 If he beget a son [that is] a robber, a shedder of
blood, and

[that] doeth the like to [any] one of these [things],

EZE-18:11 And that doeth not any of those [duties], but even
hath eaten upon

the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,

EZE-18:12 Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by
violence, hath

not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the
idols, hath

committed abomination,

EZE-18:13 Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase:
shall he then

live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he
shall surely

die; his blood shall be upon him.

EZE-18:14 Now, lo, [if] he beget a son, that seeth all his
father's sins

which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,

EZE-18:15 [That] hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither
hath lifted up

his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled
his neighbour's

wife,

EZE-18:16 Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden the
pledge, neither

hath spoiled by violence, [but] hath given his bread to the
hungry, and hath

covered the naked with a garment,

EZE-18:17 [That] hath taken off his hand from the poor, [that]
hath not

received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath
walked in my

statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he
shall surely

live.

EZE-18:18 [As for] his father, because he cruelly oppressed,
spoiled his

brother by violence, and did [that] which [is] not good among
his people, lo,

even he shall die in his iniquity.

EZE-18:19 Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity
of the father?

When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, [and]
hath kept all my

statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.

EZE-18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall
not bear the

iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the
iniquity of the son:

the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the
wickedness of

the wicked shall be upon him.

EZE-18:21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he
hath

committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful
and right, he

shall surely live, he shall not die.

EZE-18:22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they
shall not be

mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he
shall live.

EZE-18:23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should
die? saith the

Lord GOD: [and] not that he should return from his ways, and
live?

EZE-18:24 But when the righteous turneth away from his
righteousness, and

committeth iniquity, [and] doeth according to all the
abominations that the

wicked [man] doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he
hath done

shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed,
and in his

sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.

EZE-18:25 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear
now, O house of

Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?

EZE-18:26 When a righteous [man] turneth away from his
righteousness, and

committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he
hath done

shall he die.

EZE-18:27 Again, when the wicked [man] turneth away from his
wickedness that

he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he
shall save his

soul alive.

EZE-18:28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his

transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he
shall not die.



EZE-18:29 Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is
not equal. O

house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways
unequal?

EZE-18:30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every
one according

to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn [yourselves]
from all your

transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.

EZE-18:31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby
ye have

transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why
will ye die,

O house of Israel?

EZE-18:32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth,
saith the

Lord GOD: wherefore turn [yourselves], and live ye.

EZE-19:1 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of
Israel,

EZE-19:2 And say, What [is] thy mother? A lioness: she lay down
among lions,

she nourished her whelps among young lions.

EZE-19:3 And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a
young lion, and it

learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.

EZE-19:4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their
pit, and they

brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.

EZE-19:5 Now when she saw that she had waited, [and] her hope
was lost, then

she took another of her whelps, [and] made him a young lion.

EZE-19:6 And he went up and down among the lions, he became a
young lion, and

learned to catch the prey, [and] devoured men.

EZE-19:7 And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste
their cities;

and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise
of his

roaring.

EZE-19:8 Then the nations set against him on every side from
the provinces,

and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.

EZE-19:9 And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to
the king of

Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no
more be heard

upon the mountains of Israel.

EZE-19:10 Thy mother [is] like a vine in thy blood, planted by
the waters:

she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.

EZE-19:11 And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that
bare rule,

and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she
appeared in her

height with the multitude of her branches.

EZE-19:12 But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to
the ground,

and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were
broken and

withered; the fire consumed them.

EZE-19:13 And now she [is] planted in the wilderness, in a dry
and thirsty

ground.

EZE-19:14 And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches,
[which] hath

devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod [to be] a
sceptre to rule.

This [is] a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.

EZE-20:1 And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth
[month], the

tenth [day] of the month, [that] certain of the elders of Israel
came to

inquire of the LORD, and sat before me.

EZE-20:2 Then came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,

EZE-20:3 Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say
unto them, Thus

saith the Lord GOD; Are ye come to inquire of me? [As] I live,
saith the Lord

GOD, I will not be inquired of by you.

EZE-20:4 Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge
[them]? cause them

to know the abominations of their fathers:

EZE-20:5 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day
when I chose

Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of
Jacob, and made

myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up
mine hand unto

them, saying, I [am] the LORD your God;

EZE-20:6 In the day [that] I lifted up mine hand unto them, to
bring them

forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for
them, flowing

with milk and honey, which [is] the glory of all lands:

EZE-20:7 Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the
abominations of

his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I
[am] the LORD

your God.

EZE-20:8 But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken
unto me: they

did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes,
neither did they

forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury
upon them, to

accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of
Egypt.

EZE-20:9 But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not
be polluted

before the heathen, among whom they [were], in whose sight I
made myself known

unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.

EZE-20:10 Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land
of Egypt, and

brought them into the wilderness.

EZE-20:11 And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my
judgments, which

[if] a man do, he shall even live in them.

EZE-20:12 Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign
between me and

them, that they might know that I [am] the LORD that sanctify
them.

EZE-20:13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the
wilderness: they

walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which
[if] a man

do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly
polluted: then I

said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to
consume them.

EZE-20:14 But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not
be polluted

before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.

EZE-20:15 Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the
wilderness, that I

would not bring them into the land which I had given [them],
flowing with milk

and honey, which [is] the glory of all lands;

EZE-20:16 Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in
my statutes,

but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.


EZE-20:17 Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying
them, neither did

I make an end of them in the wilderness.

EZE-20:18 But I said unto their children in the wilderness,
Walk ye not in

the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments,
nor defile

yourselves with their idols:

EZE-20:19 I [am] the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and
keep my

judgments, and do them;

EZE-20:20 And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign
between me and

you, that ye may know that I [am] the LORD your God.

EZE-20:21 Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me:
they walked not

in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which [if]
a man do, he

shall even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I said,
I would pour

out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in
the wilderness.

EZE-20:22 Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my
name's sake,

that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in
whose sight I

brought them forth.

EZE-20:23 I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the
wilderness, that I

would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through
the countries;



EZE-20:24 Because they had not executed my judgments, but had
despised my

statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were
after their

fathers' idols.

EZE-20:25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes [that were] not
good, and

judgments whereby they should not live;

EZE-20:26 And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they
caused to pass

through [the fire] all that openeth the womb, that I might make
them desolate,

to the end that they might know that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-20:27 Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel,
and say unto

them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have
blasphemed me, in

that they have committed a trespass against me.

EZE-20:28 [For] when I had brought them into the land, [for]
the which I

lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high
hill, and all

the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and
there they

presented the provocation of their offering: there also they
made their sweet

savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.

EZE-20:29 Then I said unto them, What [is] the high place
whereunto ye go?

And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day.

EZE-20:30 Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith
the Lord GOD;

Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye
whoredom after

their abominations?

EZE-20:31 For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons
to pass

through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols,
even unto this

day: and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? [As]
I live, saith

the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you.

EZE-20:32 And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at
all, that ye

say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries,
to serve

wood and stone.

EZE-20:33 [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty
hand, and

with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule
over you:

EZE-20:34 And I will bring you out from the people, and will
gather you out

of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand,
and with a

stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.

EZE-20:35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the
people, and there

will I plead with you face to face.

EZE-20:36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness
of the land

of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-20:37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I
will bring you

into the bond of the covenant:

EZE-20:38 And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and
them that

transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the
country where they

sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and
ye shall know

that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-20:39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord
GOD; Go ye,

serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter [also], if ye will
not hearken

unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts,
and with your

idols.

EZE-20:40 For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the
height of Israel,

saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of
them in the

land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I
require your

offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your
holy things.

EZE-20:41 I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I
bring you out from

the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have
been

scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.

EZE-20:42 And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall
bring you into

the land of Israel, into the country [for] the which I lifted up
mine hand to

give it to your fathers.

EZE-20:43 And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your
doings, wherein

ye have been defiled; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own
sight for all

your evils that ye have committed.

EZE-20:44 And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have
wrought with

you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor
according to

your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-20:45 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-20:46 Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop
[thy word]

toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south
field;

EZE-20:47 And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of
the LORD; Thus

saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it
shall devour

every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame
shall not be

quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be
burned therein.

EZE-20:48 And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled
it: it shall

not be quenched.

EZE-20:49 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not
speak

parables?

EZE-21:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-21:2 Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop
[thy word]

toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,

EZE-21:3 And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD;
Behold, I [am]

against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath,
and will cut off

from thee the righteous and the wicked.

EZE-21:4 Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the
righteous and the

wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath
against all flesh

from the south to the north:

EZE-21:5 That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn
forth my sword

out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.

EZE-21:6 Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of
[thy] loins;

and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.

EZE-21:7 And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore
sighest thou?

that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and
every heart

shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit
shall faint, and

all knees shall be weak [as] water: behold, it cometh, and shall
be brought to

pass, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-21:8 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-21:9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD;
Say, A sword, a

sword is sharpened, and also furbished:

EZE-21:10 It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is
furbished that it

may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of
my son, [as]

every tree.

EZE-21:11 And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be
handled: this

sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the
hand of the

slayer.

EZE-21:12 Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my
people, it [shall

be] upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the
sword shall be

upon my people: smite therefore upon [thy] thigh.

EZE-21:13 Because [it is] a trial, and what if [the sword]
contemn even the

rod? it shall be no [more], saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-21:14 Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite
[thine] hands

together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword
of the slain:

it [is] the sword of the great [men that are] slain, which
entereth into their

privy chambers.

EZE-21:15 I have set the point of the sword against all their
gates, that

[their] heart may faint, and [their] ruins be multiplied: ah!
[it is] made

bright, [it is] wrapped up for the slaughter.

EZE-21:16 Go thee one way or other, [either] on the right hand,
[or] on the

left, whithersoever thy face [is] set.

EZE-21:17 I will also smite mine hands together, and I will
cause my fury to

rest: I the LORD have said [it].

EZE-21:18 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,

EZE-21:19 Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that
the sword of the

king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one
land: and

choose thou a place, choose [it] at the head of the way to the
city.

EZE-21:20 Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of
the Ammonites,

and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.

EZE-21:21 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the
way, at the

head of the two ways, to use divination: he made [his] arrows
bright, he

consulted with images, he looked in the liver.

EZE-21:22 At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem,
to appoint

captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the
voice with

shouting, to appoint [battering] rams against the gates, to cast
a mount,

[and] to build a fort.

EZE-21:23 And it shall be unto them as a false divination in
their sight, to

them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the
iniquity, that

they may be taken.

EZE-21:24 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have
made your

iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are
discovered, so that

in all your doings your sins do appear; because, [I say], that
ye are come to

remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.

EZE-21:25 And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day
is come, when

iniquity [shall have] an end,

EZE-21:26 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take
off the crown:

this [shall] not [be] the same: exalt [him that is] low, and
abase [him that

is] high.

EZE-21:27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall
be no [more],

until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [him].

EZE-21:28 And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith
the Lord GOD

concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even
say thou, The

sword, the sword [is] drawn: for the slaughter [it is] furbished,
to consume

because of the glittering:

EZE-21:29 Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine
a lie unto

thee, to bring thee upon the necks of [them that are] slain, of
the wicked,

whose day is come, when their iniquity [shall have] an end.

EZE-21:30 Shall I cause [it] to return into his sheath? I will
judge thee in

the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity.

EZE-21:31 And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I
will blow against

thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of
brutish men,

[and] skilful to destroy.

EZE-21:32 Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall
be in the midst

of the land; thou shalt be no [more] remembered: for I the LORD
have spoken

[it].

EZE-22:1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-22:2 Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge
the bloody

city? yea, thou shalt show her all her abominations.

EZE-22:3 Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city
sheddeth blood in

the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols
against herself to

defile herself.

EZE-22:4 Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast
shed; and hast

defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou
hast caused thy

days to draw near, and art come [even] unto thy years: therefore
have I made

thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.


EZE-22:5 [Those that be] near, and [those that be] far from
thee, shall mock

thee, [which art] infamous [and] much vexed.

EZE-22:6 Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee
to their power

to shed blood.

EZE-22:7 In thee have they set light by father and mother: in
the midst of

thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee
have they vexed

the fatherless and the widow.

EZE-22:8 Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned
my sabbaths.

EZE-22:9 In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in
thee they eat

upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.

EZE-22:10 In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness:
in thee have

they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.

EZE-22:11 And one hath committed abomination with his
neighbour's wife; and

another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in
thee hath

humbled his sister, his father's daughter.

EZE-22:12 In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou
hast taken usury

and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by
extortion,

and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-22:13 Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy
dishonest gain

which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the
midst of thee.

EZE-22:14 Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong,
in the days

that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken [it], and
will do [it].

EZE-22:15 And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and
disperse thee in the

countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.

EZE-22:16 And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in
the sight of

the heathen, and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-22:17 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-22:18 Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross:
all they

[are] brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the
furnace; they

are [even] the dross of silver.

EZE-22:19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all
become dross,

behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.

EZE-22:20 [As] they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and
lead, and tin,

into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt
[it]; so will

I gather [you] in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave
[you there], and

melt you.

EZE-22:21 Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire
of my wrath,

and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.

EZE-22:22 As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so
shall ye be

melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD
have poured out

my fury upon you.

EZE-22:23 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-22:24 Son of man, say unto her, Thou [art] the land that is
not cleansed,

nor rained upon in the day of indignation.

EZE-22:25 [There is] a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst
thereof, like

a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they
have taken

the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows
in the midst

thereof.

EZE-22:26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned
mine holy

things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane,
neither have

they showed [difference] between the unclean and the clean, and
have hid their

eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

EZE-22:27 Her princes in the midst thereof [are] like wolves
ravening the

prey, to shed blood, [and] to destroy souls, to get dishonest
gain.

EZE-22:28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered
[mortar], seeing

vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord
GOD, when the

LORD hath not spoken.

EZE-22:29 The people of the land have used oppression, and
exercised robbery,

and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the
stranger

wrongfully.

EZE-22:30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make
up the hedge,

and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not
destroy it: but

I found none.

EZE-22:31 Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon
them; I have

consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I
recompensed upon

their heads, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-23:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

EZE-23:2 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one
mother:

EZE-23:3 And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed
whoredoms in

their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they
bruised the

teats of their virginity.

EZE-23:4 And the names of them [were] Aholah the elder, and
Aholibah her

sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters.
Thus [were]

their names; Samaria [is] Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.

EZE-23:5 And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and
she doted on her

lovers, on the Assyrians [her] neighbours,

EZE-23:6 [Which were] clothed with blue, captains and rulers,
all of them

desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.

EZE-23:7 Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all
them [that

were] the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted:
with all

their idols she defiled herself.

EZE-23:8 Neither left she her whoredoms [brought] from Egypt:
for in her

youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her
virginity, and

poured their whoredom upon her.

EZE-23:9 Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her
lovers, into the

hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.

EZE-23:10 These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons
and her

daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became famous
among women; for

they had executed judgment upon her.

EZE-23:11 And when her sister Aholibah saw [this], she was more
corrupt in

her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her
sister in

[her] whoredoms.

EZE-23:12 She doted upon the Assyrians [her] neighbours,
captains and rulers

clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of
them desirable

young men.

EZE-23:13 Then I saw that she was defiled, [that] they [took]
both one way,

EZE-23:14 And [that] she increased her whoredoms: for when she
saw men

portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed
with vermilion,



EZE-23:15 Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in
dyed attire upon

their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of
the

Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:

EZE-23:16 And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted
upon them, and

sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.

EZE-23:17 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love,
and they

defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them,
and her mind

was alienated from them.

EZE-23:18 So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her
nakedness: then

my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated
from her sister.



EZE-23:19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to
remembrance the

days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land
of Egypt.

EZE-23:20 For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh [is
as] the flesh

of asses, and whose issue [is like] the issue of horses.

EZE-23:21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy
youth, in

bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.

EZE-23:22 Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold, I will

raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is
alienated, and I will

bring them against thee on every side;

EZE-23:23 The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and
Shoa, and Koa,

[and] all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young
men, captains

and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon
horses.

EZE-23:24 And they shall come against thee with chariots,
wagons, and wheels,

and with an assembly of people, [which] shall set against thee
buckler and

shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment before
them, and they

shall judge thee according to their judgments.

EZE-23:25 And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they
shall deal

furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thine
ears; and thy

remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and
thy daughters;

and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.

EZE-23:26 They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and
take away thy

fair jewels.

EZE-23:27 Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and
thy whoredom

[brought] from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up
thine eyes

unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.

EZE-23:28 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver
thee into the

hand [of them] whom thou hatest, into the hand [of them] from
whom thy mind is

alienated:

EZE-23:29 And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall
take away all

thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the
nakedness of thy

whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy
whoredoms.

EZE-23:30 I will do these [things] unto thee, because thou hast
gone a

whoring after the heathen, [and] because thou art polluted with
their idols.

EZE-23:31 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore
will I give

her cup into thine hand.

EZE-23:32 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy
sister's cup deep

and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision;
it containeth

much.

EZE-23:33 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow,
with the cup of

astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.

EZE-23:34 Thou shalt even drink it and suck [it] out, and thou
shalt break

the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have
spoken [it],

saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-23:35 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast
forgotten me,

and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy
lewdness and thy

whoredoms.

EZE-23:36 The LORD said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou
judge Aholah

and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations;

EZE-23:37 That they have committed adultery, and blood [is] in
their hands,

and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also
caused their

sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through [the
fire], to devour

[them].

EZE-23:38 Moreover this they have done unto me: they have
defiled my

sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.

EZE-23:39 For when they had slain their children to their idols,
then they

came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus
have they

done in the midst of mine house.

EZE-23:40 And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come
from far, unto

whom a messenger [was] sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou
didst wash

thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments,


EZE-23:41 And satest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared
before it,

whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil.

EZE-23:42 And a voice of a multitude being at ease [was] with
her: and with

the men of the common sort [were] brought Sabeans from the
wilderness, which

put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their
heads.

EZE-23:43 Then said I unto [her that was] old in adulteries,
Will they now

commit whoredoms with her, and she [with them]?

EZE-23:44 Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman
that playeth

the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the
lewd women.

EZE-23:45 And the righteous men, they shall judge them after
the manner of

adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood;
because they

[are] adulteresses, and blood [is] in their hands.

EZE-23:46 For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will bring up a
company upon them,

and will give them to be removed and spoiled.

EZE-23:47 And the company shall stone them with stones, and
dispatch them

with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their
daughters, and burn up

their houses with fire.

EZE-23:48 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land,
that all women

may be taught not to do after your lewdness.

EZE-23:49 And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and
ye shall bear

the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord
GOD.

EZE-24:1 Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the
tenth [day] of

the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-24:2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, [even] of
this same day:

the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.

EZE-24:3 And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say
unto them,

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set [it] on, and also
pour water into

it:

EZE-24:4 Gather the pieces thereof into it, [even] every good
piece, the

thigh, and the shoulder; fill [it] with the choice bones.

EZE-24:5 Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones
under it,

[and] make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it
therein.

EZE-24:6 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody
city, to the

pot whose scum [is] therein, and whose scum is not gone out of
it! bring it

out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.

EZE-24:7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon
the top of a

rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;

EZE-24:8 That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance;
I have set

her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.

EZE-24:9 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody
city! I will

even make the pile for fire great.

EZE-24:10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and
spice it

well, and let the bones be burned.

EZE-24:11 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the
brass of it may

be hot, and may burn, and [that] the filthiness of it may be
molten in it,

[that] the scum of it may be consumed.

EZE-24:12 She hath wearied [herself] with lies, and her great
scum went not

forth out of her: her scum [shall be] in the fire.

EZE-24:13 In thy filthiness [is] lewdness: because I have
purged thee, and

thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy
filthiness any more,

till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.

EZE-24:14 I the LORD have spoken [it]: it shall come to pass,
and I will do

[it]; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I
repent;

according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they
judge thee,

saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-24:15 Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-24:16 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire
of thine eyes

with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither
shall thy tears

run down.

EZE-24:17 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind
the tire of

thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and
cover not [thy]

lips, and eat not the bread of men.

EZE-24:18 So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at
even my wife

died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.

EZE-24:19 And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us
what these

[things are] to us, that thou doest [so]?

EZE-24:20 Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto
me, saying,

EZE-24:21 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord
GOD; Behold, I

will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the
desire of your

eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your
daughters whom

ye have left shall fall by the sword.

EZE-24:22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover
[your] lips, nor

eat the bread of men.

EZE-24:23 And your tires [shall be] upon your heads, and your
shoes upon your

feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for
your iniquities,

and mourn one toward another.

EZE-24:24 Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all
that he hath done

shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I [am] the
Lord GOD.

EZE-24:25 Also, thou son of man, [shall it] not [be] in the day
when I take

from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of
their eyes,

and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their
daughters,

EZE-24:26 [That] he that escapeth in that day shall come unto
thee, to cause

[thee] to hear [it] with [thine] ears?

EZE-24:27 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is
escaped, and

thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign
unto them; and

they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-25:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

EZE-25:2 Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and
prophesy against

them;

EZE-25:3 And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord
GOD; Thus

saith the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my
sanctuary, when it

was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was
desolate; and

against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity;

EZE-25:4 Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of
the east for a

possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make
their dwellings

in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk.


EZE-25:5 And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the
Ammonites a

couchingplace for flocks: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.


EZE-25:6 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped
[thine]

hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all
thy despite

against the land of Israel;

EZE-25:7 Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon
thee, and will

deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off
from the

people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I
will destroy

thee; and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-25:8 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do
say, Behold,

the house of Judah [is] like unto all the heathen;

EZE-25:9 Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from
the cities,

from his cities [which are] on his frontiers, the glory of the
country,

Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim,

EZE-25:10 Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will
give them in

possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the
nations.

EZE-25:11 And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they
shall know that I

[am] the LORD.

EZE-25:12 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt
against the

house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended,
and revenged

himself upon them;

EZE-25:13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also
stretch out mine

hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I
will make it

desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.

EZE-25:14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of
my people

Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and
according to my

fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-25:15 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have
dealt by

revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to
destroy [it] for

the old hatred;

EZE-25:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will
stretch out mine

hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims,
and destroy the

remnant of the sea coast.

EZE-25:17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with
furious rebukes;

and they shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall lay my
vengeance upon

them.

EZE-26:1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first
[day] of the

month, [that] the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-26:2 Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against
Jerusalem, Aha, she

is broken [that was] the gates of the people: she is turned unto
me: I shall

be replenished, [now] she is laid waste:

EZE-26:3 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am]
against thee, O

Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as
the sea causeth

his waves to come up.

EZE-26:4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break
down her

towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like
the top of a

rock.

EZE-26:5 It shall be [a place for] the spreading of nets in the
midst of the

sea: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD: and it shall
become a spoil

to the nations.

EZE-26:6 And her daughters which [are] in the field shall be
slain by the

sword; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-26:7 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon
Tyrus

Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north,
with horses,

and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much
people.

EZE-26:8 He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the
field: and he

shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee,
and lift up the

buckler against thee.

EZE-26:9 And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and
with his axes

he shall break down thy towers.

EZE-26:10 By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust
shall cover

thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of
the wheels,

and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men
enter into a

city wherein is made a breach.

EZE-26:11 With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all
thy streets:

he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons
shall go down

to the ground.

EZE-26:12 And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a
prey of thy

merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy
thy pleasant

houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy
dust in the midst

of the water.

EZE-26:13 And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and
the sound of

thy harps shall be no more heard.

EZE-26:14 And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou
shalt be [a

place] to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I
the LORD have

spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-26:15 Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles
shake at the

sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is
made in the

midst of thee?

EZE-26:16 Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from
their thrones,

and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments:
they shall

clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground,
and shall

tremble at [every] moment, and be astonished at thee.

EZE-26:17 And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and
say to thee, How

art thou destroyed, [that wast] inhabited of seafaring men, the
renowned city,

which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which
cause their

terror [to be] on all that haunt it!

EZE-26:18 Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall;
yea, the isles

that [are] in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.

EZE-26:19 For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee a
desolate

city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring
up the deep

upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee;

EZE-26:20 When I shall bring thee down with them that descend
into the pit,

with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts
of the earth,

in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit,
that thou be not

inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;

EZE-26:21 I will make thee a terror, and thou [shalt be] no
[more]: though

thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith
the Lord GOD.

EZE-27:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

EZE-27:2 Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;

EZE-27:3 And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the
entry of the sea,

[which art] a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith
the Lord GOD;

O Tyrus, thou hast said, I [am] of perfect beauty.

EZE-27:4 Thy borders [are] in the midst of the seas, thy
builders have

perfected thy beauty.

EZE-27:5 They have made all thy [ship] boards of fir trees of
Senir: they

have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee.

EZE-27:6 [Of] the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; the
company of

the Ashurites have made thy benches [of] ivory, [brought] out of
the isles of

Chittim.

EZE-27:7 Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was that
which thou

spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles
of Elishah was

that which covered thee.

EZE-27:8 The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners:
thy wise

[men], O Tyrus, [that] were in thee, were thy pilots.

EZE-27:9 The ancients of Gebal and the wise [men] thereof were
in thee thy

calkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in
thee to occupy

thy merchandise.

EZE-27:10 They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in thine
army, thy men

of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set
forth thy

comeliness.

EZE-27:11 The men of Arvad with thine army [were] upon thy
walls round about,

and the Gammadims were in thy towers: they hanged their shields
upon thy walls

round about; they have made thy beauty perfect.

EZE-27:12 Tarshish [was] thy merchant by reason of the
multitude of all [kind

of] riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy
fairs.

EZE-27:13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they [were] thy merchants:
they traded

the persons of men and vessels of brass in thy market.

EZE-27:14 They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs
with horses and

horsemen and mules.

EZE-27:15 The men of Dedan [were] thy merchants; many isles
[were] the

merchandise of thine hand: they brought thee [for] a present
horns of ivory

and ebony.

EZE-27:16 Syria [was] thy merchant by reason of the multitude
of the wares of

thy making: they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple,
and broidered

work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate.

EZE-27:17 Judah, and the land of Israel, they [were] thy
merchants: they

traded in thy market wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and honey,
and oil, and

balm.

EZE-27:18 Damascus [was] thy merchant in the multitude of the
wares of thy

making, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon,
and white

wool.

EZE-27:19 Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in thy
fairs: bright

iron, cassia, and calamus, were in thy market.

EZE-27:20 Dedan [was] thy merchant in precious clothes for
chariots.

EZE-27:21 Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they occupied
with thee in

lambs, and rams, and goats: in these [were they] thy merchants.

EZE-27:22 The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they [were] thy
merchants: they

occupied in thy fairs with chief of all spices, and with all
precious stones,

and gold.

EZE-27:23 Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba,
Asshur, [and]

Chilmad, [were] thy merchants.

EZE-27:24 These [were] thy merchants in all sorts [of things],
in blue

clothes, and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel,
bound with cords,

and made of cedar, among thy merchandise.

EZE-27:25 The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market:
and thou wast

replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.

EZE-27:26 Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the
east wind hath

broken thee in the midst of the seas.

EZE-27:27 Thy riches, and thy fairs, thy merchandise, thy
mariners, and thy

pilots, thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and
all thy men of

war, that [are] in thee, and in all thy company which [is] in
the midst of

thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy
ruin.

EZE-27:28 The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of
thy pilots.

EZE-27:29 And all that handle the oar, the mariners, [and] all
the pilots of

the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon
the land;

EZE-27:30 And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee,
and shall cry

bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall
wallow

themselves in the ashes:

EZE-27:31 And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee,
and gird them

with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of
heart [and]

bitter wailing.

EZE-27:32 And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation
for thee, and

lament over thee, [saying], What [city is] like Tyrus, like the
destroyed in

the midst of the sea?

EZE-27:33 When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou
filledst many

people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the
multitude of thy

riches and of thy merchandise.

EZE-27:34 In the time [when] thou shalt be broken by the seas
in the depths

of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst
of thee shall

fall.

EZE-27:35 All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished
at thee, and

their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in
[their]

countenance.

EZE-27:36 The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee;
thou shalt be a

terror, and never [shalt be] any more.

EZE-28:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

EZE-28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith
the Lord GOD;

Because thine heart [is] lifted up, and thou hast said, I [am] a
God, I sit

[in] the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou [art] a
man, and not

God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:

EZE-28:3 Behold, thou [art] wiser than Daniel; there is no
secret that they

can hide from thee:

EZE-28:4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast
gotten thee

riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:

EZE-28:5 By thy great wisdom [and] by thy traffic hast thou
increased thy

riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:

EZE-28:6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast
set thine heart

as the heart of God;

EZE-28:7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee,
the terrible of

the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty
of thy

wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.

EZE-28:8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt
die the deaths

of [them that are] slain in the midst of the seas.

EZE-28:9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I [am]
God? but thou

[shalt be] a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth
thee.

EZE-28:10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the
hand of

strangers: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-28:11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of
Tyrus, and say

unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full
of wisdom,

and perfect in beauty.

EZE-28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every
precious stone

[was] thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the
beryl, the onyx,

and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle,
and gold: the

workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee
in the day

that thou wast created.

EZE-28:14 Thou [art] the anointed cherub that covereth; and I
have set thee

[so]: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked
up and down in

the midst of the stones of fire.

EZE-28:15 Thou [wast] perfect in thy ways from the day that
thou wast

created, till iniquity was found in thee.

EZE-28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled
the midst of

thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast
thee as

profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O
covering

cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

EZE-28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou
hast

corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast
thee to the

ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

EZE-28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of
thine

iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I
bring forth a

fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will
bring thee to

ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

EZE-28:19 All they that know thee among the people shall be
astonished at

thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never [shalt] thou [be] any
more.

EZE-28:20 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-28:21 Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy
against it,

EZE-28:22 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am]
against thee, O

Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they
shall know that

I [am] the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her,
and shall be

sanctified in her.

EZE-28:23 For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into
her streets;

and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword
upon her on

every side; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-28:24 And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the
house of

Israel, nor [any] grieving thorn of all [that are] round about
them, that

despised them; and they shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.

EZE-28:25 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered
the house of

Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall
be sanctified

in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in
their land that

I have given to my servant Jacob.

EZE-28:26 And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build
houses, and

plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I
have executed

judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and
they shall

know that I [am] the LORD their God.

EZE-29:1 In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], in the
twelfth [day] of the

month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-29:2 Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt,
and prophesy

against him, and against all Egypt:

EZE-29:3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I
[am] against

thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the
midst of his

rivers, which hath said, My river [is] mine own, and I have made
[it] for

myself.

EZE-29:4 But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the
fish of thy

rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of
the midst of

thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy
scales.

EZE-29:5 And I will leave thee [thrown] into the wilderness,
thee and all the

fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou
shalt not be

brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to
the beasts of

the field and to the fowls of the heaven.

EZE-29:6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I
[am] the LORD,

because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.

EZE-29:7 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst
break, and rend

all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest,
and madest

all their loins to be at a stand.

EZE-29:8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will
bring a sword upon

thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.

EZE-29:9 And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and
they shall

know that I [am] the LORD: because he hath said, The river [is]
mine, and I

have made [it].

EZE-29:10 Behold, therefore I [am] against thee, and against
thy rivers, and

I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste [and] desolate, from
the tower of

Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.

EZE-29:11 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of
beast shall pass

through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.

EZE-29:12 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the
midst of the

countries [that are] desolate, and her cities among the cities
[that are] laid

waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the
Egyptians among

the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

EZE-29:13 Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty
years will I

gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:


EZE-29:14 And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and
will cause them

to return [into] the land of Pathros, into the land of their
habitation; and

they shall be there a base kingdom.

EZE-29:15 It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall
it exalt

itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them,
that they shall

no more rule over the nations.

EZE-29:16 And it shall be no more the confidence of the house
of Israel,

which bringeth [their] iniquity to remembrance, when they shall
look after

them: but they shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.

EZE-29:17 And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year,
in the first

[month], in the first [day] of the month, the word of the LORD
came unto me,

saying,

EZE-29:18 Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his
army to serve

a great service against Tyrus: every head [was] made bald, and
every shoulder

[was] peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for
the service

that he had served against it:

EZE-29:19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will
give the land of

Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her
multitude,

and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages
for his army.



EZE-29:20 I have given him the land of Egypt [for] his labour
wherewith he

served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord
GOD.

EZE-29:21 In that day will I cause the horn of the house of
Israel to bud

forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the
midst of them; and

they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-30:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

EZE-30:2 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Howl ye, Woe

worth the day!

EZE-30:3 For the day [is] near, even the day of the LORD [is]
near, a cloudy

day; it shall be the time of the heathen.

EZE-30:4 And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain
shall be in

Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall
take away her

multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.

EZE-30:5 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled
people, and

Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with
them by the

sword.

EZE-30:6 Thus saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall
fall; and the

pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene
shall they fall in

it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-30:7 And they shall be desolate in the midst of the
countries [that are]

desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities
[that are]

wasted.

EZE-30:8 And they shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have
set a fire in

Egypt, and [when] all her helpers shall be destroyed.

EZE-30:9 In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships
to make the

careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them,
as in the day

of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.

EZE-30:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also make the
multitude of Egypt to

cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.

EZE-30:11 He and his people with him, the terrible of the
nations, shall be

brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords
against Egypt,

and fill the land with the slain.

EZE-30:12 And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land
into the hand of

the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is
therein, by the

hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken [it].

EZE-30:13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the
idols, and I will

cause [their] images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no
more a prince

of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.


EZE-30:14 And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire
in Zoan, and

will execute judgments in No.

EZE-30:15 And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of
Egypt; and I will

cut off the multitude of No.

EZE-30:16 And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great
pain, and No

shall be rent asunder, and Noph [shall have] distresses daily.

EZE-30:17 The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by
the sword: and

these [cities] shall go into captivity.

EZE-30:18 At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I
shall break

there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall
cease in her: as

for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go
into captivity.

EZE-30:19 Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they
shall know that I

[am] the LORD.

EZE-30:20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the
first [month], in

the seventh [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came
unto me,

saying,

EZE-30:21 Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of
Egypt; and,

lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to
bind it, to make

it strong to hold the sword.

EZE-30:22 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am]
against Pharaoh

king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that
which was broken;

and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.

EZE-30:23 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations,
and will

disperse them through the countries.

EZE-30:24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon,
and put my

sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall
groan before

him with the groanings of a deadly wounded [man].

EZE-30:25 But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon,
and the arms

of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I [am] the
LORD, when I

shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he
shall stretch

it out upon the land of Egypt.

EZE-30:26 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations,
and disperse

them among the countries; and they shall know that I [am] the
LORD.

EZE-31:1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third
[month], in

the first [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came
unto me,

saying,

EZE-31:2 Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to
his multitude;

Whom art thou like in thy greatness?

EZE-31:3 Behold, the Assyrian [was] a cedar in Lebanon with
fair branches,

and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top
was among the

thick boughs.

EZE-31:4 The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high
with her

rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little
rivers unto all

the trees of the field.

EZE-31:5 Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees
of the field,

and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long
because of the

multitude of waters, when he shot forth.

EZE-31:6 All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs,
and under

his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their
young, and

under his shadow dwelt all great nations.

EZE-31:7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of
his branches:

for his root was by great waters.

EZE-31:8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him:
the fir trees

were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like
his branches;

nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his
beauty.

EZE-31:9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches:
so that all

the trees of Eden, that [were] in the garden of God, envied him.

EZE-31:10 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast
lifted up

thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick
boughs, and his

heart is lifted up in his height;

EZE-31:11 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the
mighty one of

the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him
out for his

wickedness.

EZE-31:12 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut
him off, and

have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his
branches are

fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land;
and all the

people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left
him.

EZE-31:13 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven
remain, and all the

beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:

EZE-31:14 To the end that none of all the trees by the waters
exalt

themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among
the thick

boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that
drink water:

for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of
the earth, in

the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the
pit.

EZE-31:15 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down
to the grave

I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I
restrained the floods

thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon
to mourn for

him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.

EZE-31:16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall,
when I cast

him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all
the trees of

Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water,
shall be comforted

in the nether parts of the earth.

EZE-31:17 They also went down into hell with him unto [them
that be] slain

with the sword; and [they that were] his arm, [that] dwelt under
his shadow in

the midst of the heathen.

EZE-31:18 To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness
among the

trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of
Eden unto the

nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the
uncircumcised

with [them that be] slain by the sword. This [is] Pharaoh and
all his

multitude, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-32:1 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the
twelfth month, in

the first [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came
unto me,

saying,

EZE-32:2 Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of
Egypt, and say

unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou
[art] as a whale

in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and
troubledst the waters

with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.

EZE-32:3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out
my net over

thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up
in my net.

EZE-32:4 Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee
forth upon

the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to
remain upon

thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee.

EZE-32:5 And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill
the valleys

with thy height.

EZE-32:6 I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou
swimmest,

[even] to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.

EZE-32:7 And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven,
and make the

stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the
moon shall not

give her light.

EZE-32:8 All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over
thee, and set

darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-32:9 I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I
shall bring thy

destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou
hast not known.

EZE-32:10 Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and
their kings shall

be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword
before them; and

they shall tremble at [every] moment, every man for his own life,
in the day

of thy fall.

EZE-32:11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of
Babylon shall

come upon thee.

EZE-32:12 By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy
multitude to fall, the

terrible of the nations, all of them: and they shall spoil the
pomp of Egypt,

and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed.

EZE-32:13 I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from
beside the great

waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor
the hoofs of

beasts trouble them.

EZE-32:14 Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their
rivers to run

like oil, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-32:15 When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the
country shall

be destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all
them that

dwell therein, then shall they know that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-32:16 This [is] the lamentation wherewith they shall lament
her: the

daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for
her, [even]

for Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-32:17 It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the
fifteenth [day] of

the month, [that] the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-32:18 Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast
them down,

[even] her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the
nether parts of

the earth, with them that go down into the pit.

EZE-32:19 Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou
laid with the

uncircumcised.

EZE-32:20 They shall fall in the midst of [them that are] slain
by the sword:

she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes.

EZE-32:21 The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of
the midst of

hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie
uncircumcised,

slain by the sword.

EZE-32:22 Asshur [is] there and all her company: his graves
[are] about him:

all of them slain, fallen by the sword:

EZE-32:23 Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her
company is

round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword,
which caused

terror in the land of the living.

EZE-32:24 There [is] Elam and all her multitude round about her
grave, all of

them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down
uncircumcised into the

nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land
of the

living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down
to the pit.

EZE-32:25 They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain
with all her

multitude: her graves [are] round about him: all of them
uncircumcised, slain

by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the
living, yet

have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit:
he is put in

the midst of [them that be] slain.

EZE-32:26 There [is] Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her
graves [are]

round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword,
though they

caused their terror in the land of the living.

EZE-32:27 And they shall not lie with the mighty [that are]
fallen of the

uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of
war: and they

have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities
shall be upon

their bones, though [they were] the terror of the mighty in the
land of the

living.

EZE-32:28 Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the
uncircumcised, and

shalt lie with [them that are] slain with the sword.

EZE-32:29 There [is] Edom, her kings, and all her princes,
which with their

might are laid by [them that were] slain by the sword: they
shall lie with the

uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.

EZE-32:30 There [be] the princes of the north, all of them, and
all the

Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror
they are

ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with [them
that be] slain

by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the
pit.

EZE-32:31 Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over
all his

multitude, [even] Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword,
saith the Lord

GOD.

EZE-32:32 For I have caused my terror in the land of the living:
and he shall

be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with [them that are]
slain with the

sword, [even] Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-33:1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-33:2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and
say unto them,

When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land
take a man of

their coasts, and set him for their watchman:

EZE-33:3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow
the trumpet,

and warn the people;

EZE-33:4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and
taketh not

warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall
be upon his own

head.

EZE-33:5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not
warning; his blood

shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his
soul.

EZE-33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not
the trumpet,

and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take [any]
person from

among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will
I require at

the watchman's hand.

EZE-33:7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto
the house of

Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn
them from me.



EZE-33:8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked [man], thou shalt
surely die;

if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that
wicked [man]

shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine
hand.

EZE-33:9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to
turn from it; if

he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but
thou hast

delivered thy soul.

EZE-33:10 Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of
Israel; Thus

ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins [be] upon
us, and we pine

away in them, how should we then live?

EZE-33:11 Say unto them, [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I
have no pleasure

in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his
way and live:

turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O
house of Israel?

EZE-33:12 Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of
thy people,

The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the
day of his

transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not
fall thereby

in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall
the righteous be

able to live for his [righteousness] in the day that he sinneth.

EZE-33:13 When I shall say to the righteous, [that] he shall
surely live; if

he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his

righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity
that he hath

committed, he shall die for it.

EZE-33:14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely
die; if he

turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;

EZE-33:15 [If] the wicked restore the pledge, give again that
he had robbed,

walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he
shall surely

live, he shall not die.

EZE-33:16 None of his sins that he hath committed shall be
mentioned unto

him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall
surely live.

EZE-33:17 Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the
Lord is not

equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.

EZE-33:18 When the righteous turneth from his righteousness,
and committeth

iniquity, he shall even die thereby.

EZE-33:19 But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do
that which is

lawful and right, he shall live thereby.

EZE-33:20 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye
house of Israel,

I will judge you every one after his ways.

EZE-33:21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our
captivity, in the

tenth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, [that] one that
had escaped

out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.

EZE-33:22 Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening,
afore he that

was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me
in the morning;

and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.

EZE-33:23 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-33:24 Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the
land of Israel

speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but
we [are] many;

the land is given us for inheritance.

EZE-33:25 Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye
eat with the

blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood:
and shall ye

possess the land?

EZE-33:26 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye
defile every

one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land?

EZE-33:27 Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
[As] I live,

surely they that [are] in the wastes shall fall by the sword,
and him that

[is] in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured,
and they that

[be] in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.

EZE-33:28 For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp
of her strength

shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that
none shall

pass through.

EZE-33:29 Then shall they know that I [am] the LORD, when I
have laid the

land most desolate because of all their abominations which they
have

committed.

EZE-33:30 Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people
still are talking

against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and
speak one to

another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and
hear what is

the word that cometh forth from the LORD.

EZE-33:31 And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and
they sit before

thee [as] my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not
do them: for

with their mouth they show much love, [but] their heart goeth
after their

covetousness.

EZE-33:32 And, lo, thou [art] unto them as a very lovely song
of one that

hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for
they hear thy

words, but they do them not.

EZE-33:33 And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,)
then shall they

know that a prophet hath been among them.

EZE-34:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-34:2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel,
prophesy, and

say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe
[be] to the

shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the
shepherds feed the

flocks?

EZE-34:3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye
kill them that

are fed: [but] ye feed not the flock.

EZE-34:4 The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye
healed that

which was sick, neither have ye bound up [that which was] broken,
neither have

ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye
sought that which

was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.

EZE-34:5 And they were scattered, because [there is] no
shepherd: and they

became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were
scattered.

EZE-34:6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon
every high

hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth,
and none did

search or seek [after them].

EZE-34:7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;

EZE-34:8 [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my
flock became a

prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field,
because [there

was] no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock,
but the

shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;

EZE-34:9 Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;

EZE-34:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against the
shepherds; and

I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease
from feeding

the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more;
for I will

deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for
them.

EZE-34:11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, [even] I,
will both search

my sheep, and seek them out.

EZE-34:12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that
he is among his

sheep [that are] scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and
will deliver them

out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy
and dark day.

EZE-34:13 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather
them from the

countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them
upon the

mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited
places of the

country.

EZE-34:14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high
mountains of

Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold,
and [in] a

fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

EZE-34:15 I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie
down, saith the

Lord GOD.

EZE-34:16 I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that
which was

driven away, and will bind up [that which was] broken, and will
strengthen

that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong;
I will feed

them with judgment.

EZE-34:17 And [as for] you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold, I

judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he
goats.

EZE-34:18 [Seemeth it] a small thing unto you to have eaten up
the good

pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of
your pastures?

and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the
residue with your

feet?

EZE-34:19 And [as for] my flock, they eat that which ye have
trodden with

your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your
feet.

EZE-34:20 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold,
I, [even] I,

will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.

EZE-34:21 Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder,
and pushed all

the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;


EZE-34:22 Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no
more be a prey;

and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

EZE-34:23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he
shall feed them,

[even] my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be
their shepherd.

EZE-34:24 And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant
David a prince

among them; I the LORD have spoken [it].

EZE-34:25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and
will cause the

evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell
safely in the

wilderness, and sleep in the woods.

EZE-34:26 And I will make them and the places round about my
hill a blessing;

and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there
shall be showers

of blessing.

EZE-34:27 And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and
the earth

shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land,
and shall know

that I [am] the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke,
and

delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves
of them.

EZE-34:28 And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen,
neither shall the

beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and
none shall

make [them] afraid.

EZE-34:29 And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and
they shall be

no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame
of the

heathen any more.

EZE-34:30 Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God [am]
with them, and

[that] they, [even] the house of Israel, [are] my people, saith
the Lord GOD.

EZE-34:31 And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, [are] men,
[and] I [am]

your God, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-35:1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-35:2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and
prophesy against

it,

EZE-35:3 And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O
mount Seir, I

[am] against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee,
and I will

make thee most desolate.

EZE-35:4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be
desolate, and thou

shalt know that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-35:5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast
shed [the blood

of] the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time
of their

calamity, in the time [that their] iniquity [had] an end:

EZE-35:6 Therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will
prepare thee unto

blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated
blood, even blood

shall pursue thee.

EZE-35:7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off
from it him

that passeth out and him that returneth.

EZE-35:8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain [men]: in
thy hills,

and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that
are slain with

the sword.

EZE-35:9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities
shall not

return: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-35:10 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these
two countries

shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was
there:

EZE-35:11 Therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will
even do

according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou
hast used out

of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among
them, when I

have judged thee.

EZE-35:12 And thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD, [and that]
I have heard

all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains
of Israel,

saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.

EZE-35:13 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and
have

multiplied your words against me: I have heard [them].

EZE-35:14 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth
rejoiceth, I will

make thee desolate.

EZE-35:15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house
of Israel,

because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be
desolate, O

mount Seir, and all Idumea, [even] all of it: and they shall
know that I [am]

the LORD.

EZE-36:1 Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of
Israel, and

say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:

EZE-36:2 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said
against you,

Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:

EZE-36:3 Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Because they

have made [you] desolate, and swallowed you up on every side,
that ye might be

a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken
up in the lips

of talkers, and [are] an infamy of the people:

EZE-36:4 Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of
the Lord GOD;

Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to
the rivers, and

to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that
are forsaken,

which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen
that [are]

round about;

EZE-36:5 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire
of my jealousy

have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against
all Idumea,

which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy
of all [their]

heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.

EZE-36:6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and
say unto the

mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys,
Thus saith the

Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury,
because ye have

borne the shame of the heathen:

EZE-36:7 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up
mine hand,

Surely the heathen that [are] about you, they shall bear their
shame.

EZE-36:8 But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth
your branches,

and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at
hand to come.

EZE-36:9 For, behold, I [am] for you, and I will turn unto you,
and ye shall

be tilled and sown:

EZE-36:10 And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of
Israel, [even]

all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes
shall be builded:



EZE-36:11 And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they
shall increase

and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates,
and will do

better [unto you] than at your beginnings: and ye shall know
that I [am] the

LORD.

EZE-36:12 Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, [even] my
people Israel;

and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance,
and thou

shalt no more henceforth bereave them [of men].

EZE-36:13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say unto you,
Thou [land]

devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations;

EZE-36:14 Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither
bereave thy

nations any more, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-36:15 Neither will I cause [men] to hear in thee the shame
of the heathen

any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any
more, neither

shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord
GOD.

EZE-36:16 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-36:17 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their
own land, they

defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was
before me as

the uncleanness of a removed woman.

EZE-36:18 Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood
that they had

shed upon the land, and for their idols [wherewith] they had
polluted it:

EZE-36:19 And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were
dispersed

through the countries: according to their way and according to
their doings I

judged them.

EZE-36:20 And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they
went, they

profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These [are] the
people of the

LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.

EZE-36:21 But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of
Israel had

profaned among the heathen, whither they went.

EZE-36:22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith
the Lord GOD; I

do not [this] for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine
holy name's

sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.

EZE-36:23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned
among the

heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the
heathen shall

know that I [am] the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be
sanctified in

you before their eyes.

EZE-36:24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and
gather you out of

all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

EZE-36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye
shall be clean:

from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I
cleanse you.

EZE-36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit
will I put

within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your
flesh, and I will

give you an heart of flesh.

EZE-36:27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to
walk in my

statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do [them].

EZE-36:28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your
fathers; and ye

shall be my people, and I will be your God.

EZE-36:29 I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and
I will call

for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.

EZE-36:30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the
increase of the

field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among
the heathen.

EZE-36:31 Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your
doings that

[were] not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight
for your

iniquities and for your abominations.

EZE-36:32 Not for your sakes do I [this], saith the Lord GOD,
be it known

unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house
of Israel.

EZE-36:33 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have
cleansed you

from all your iniquities I will also cause [you] to dwell in the
cities, and

the wastes shall be builded.

EZE-36:34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay
desolate in

the sight of all that passed by.

EZE-36:35 And they shall say, This land that was desolate is
become like the

garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities
[are become]

fenced, [and] are inhabited.

EZE-36:36 Then the heathen that are left round about you shall
know that I

the LORD build the ruined [places, and] plant that that was
desolate: I the

LORD have spoken [it], and I will do [it].

EZE-36:37 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet [for] this be
inquired of by

the house of Israel, to do [it] for them; I will increase them
with men like a

flock.

EZE-36:38 As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her
solemn feasts;

so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they
shall know

that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-37:1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out
in the spirit

of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which
[was] full of

bones,

EZE-37:2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold,
[there were]

very many in the open valley; and, lo, [they were] very dry.

EZE-37:3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live?
And I

answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.

EZE-37:4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and
say unto them,

O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.

EZE-37:5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I
will cause

breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

EZE-37:6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up
flesh upon you,

and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall
live; and ye

shall know that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-37:7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I
prophesied, there was a

noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone
to his bone.

EZE-37:8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came
up upon them,

and the skin covered them above: but [there was] no breath in
them.

EZE-37:9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy,
son of man,

and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four
winds, O

breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

EZE-37:10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath
came into them,

and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great
army.

EZE-37:11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the
whole house

of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope
is lost: we are

cut off for our parts.

EZE-37:12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the
Lord GOD;

Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to
come up out of

your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

EZE-37:13 And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have
opened your

graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,

EZE-37:14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live,
and I shall

place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD
have spoken

[it], and performed [it], saith the LORD.

EZE-37:15 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

EZE-37:16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and
write upon it,

For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then
take another

stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and
[for] all the

house of Israel his companions:

EZE-37:17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they
shall become

one in thine hand.

EZE-37:18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto
thee, saying,

Wilt thou not show us what thou [meanest] by these?

EZE-37:19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I
will take the

stick of Joseph, which [is] in the hand of Ephraim, and the
tribes of Israel

his fellows, and will put them with him, [even] with the stick
of Judah, and

make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.

EZE-37:20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine
hand before

their eyes.

EZE-37:21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I
will take the

children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone,
and will

gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:

EZE-37:22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the
mountains of

Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall
be no more two

nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any
more at all:

EZE-37:23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with
their idols, nor

with their detestable things, nor with any of their
transgressions: but I will

save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have
sinned, and will

cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their
God.

EZE-37:24 And David my servant [shall be] king over them; and
they all shall

have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and
observe my

statutes, and do them.

EZE-37:25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given
unto Jacob my

servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell
therein, [even]

they, and their children, and their children's children for ever:
and my

servant David [shall be] their prince for ever.

EZE-37:26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them;
it shall be an

everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and
multiply them, and

will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.

EZE-37:27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be
their God,

and they shall be my people.

EZE-37:28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do
sanctify Israel, when

my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

EZE-38:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-38:2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of
Magog, the chief

prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

EZE-38:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am]
against thee, O

Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

EZE-38:4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,
and I will

bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all
of them clothed

with all sorts [of armour, even] a great company [with] bucklers
and shields,

all of them handling swords:

EZE-38:5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them
with shield and

helmet:

EZE-38:6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the
north

quarters, and all his bands: [and] many people with thee.

EZE-38:7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and
all thy company

that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.

EZE-38:8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter
years thou

shalt come into the land [that is] brought back from the sword,
[and is]

gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel,
which have been

always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and
they shall dwell

safely all of them.

EZE-38:9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be
like a cloud

to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with
thee.

EZE-38:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass,
[that] at the

same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think
an evil

thought:

EZE-38:11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of
unwalled villages;

I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of
them dwelling

without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,

EZE-38:12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine
hand upon the

desolate places [that are now] inhabited, and upon the people
[that are]

gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods,
that dwell in

the midst of the land.

EZE-38:13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with
all the young

lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a
spoil? hast thou

gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and
gold, to take

away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

EZE-38:14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog,
Thus saith the

Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely,
shalt thou not

know [it]?

EZE-38:15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north
parts, thou,

and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a
great company,

and a mighty army:

EZE-38:16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel,
as a cloud to

cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring
thee against

my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be
sanctified in thee, O

Gog, before their eyes.

EZE-38:17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; [Art] thou he of whom I have
spoken in old

time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in
those days

[many] years that I would bring thee against them?

EZE-38:18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog
shall come

against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, [that] my fury
shall come up

in my face.

EZE-38:19 For in my jealousy [and] in the fire of my wrath have
I spoken,

Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of
Israel;

EZE-38:20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the
heaven, and the

beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the
earth, and

all the men that [are] upon the face of the earth, shall shake
at my presence,

and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places
shall fall, and

every wall shall fall to the ground.

EZE-38:21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout
all my

mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be
against his brother.



EZE-38:22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with
blood; and I

will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people
that [are]

with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and
brimstone.

EZE-38:23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and
I will be

known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I
[am] the LORD.

EZE-39:1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and
say, Thus

saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O Gog, the
chief prince of

Meshech and Tubal:

EZE-39:2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth
part of thee, and

will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring
thee upon the

mountains of Israel:

EZE-39:3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and
will cause thine

arrows to fall out of thy right hand.

EZE-39:4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou,
and all thy

bands, and the people that [is] with thee: I will give thee unto
the ravenous

birds of every sort, and [to] the beasts of the field to be
devoured.

EZE-39:5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken
[it], saith

the Lord GOD.

EZE-39:6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that
dwell

carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I [am] the
LORD.

EZE-39:7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my
people Israel;

and I will not [let them] pollute my holy name any more: and the
heathen shall

know that I [am] the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.

EZE-39:8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD;
this [is]

the day whereof I have spoken.

EZE-39:9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go
forth, and

shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the
bucklers, the

bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and
they shall burn

them with fire seven years:

EZE-39:10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field,
neither cut down

[any] out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with
fire: and they

shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed
them, saith the

Lord GOD.

EZE-39:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will
give unto Gog

a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers
on the east of

the sea: and it shall stop the [noses] of the passengers: and
there shall they

bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call [it] The
valley of

Hamongog.

EZE-39:12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying
of them, that

they may cleanse the land.

EZE-39:13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury [them];
and it shall be

to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the
Lord GOD.

EZE-39:14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment,
passing

through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain
upon the face

of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall
they search.

EZE-39:15 And the passengers [that] pass through the land, when
[any] seeth a

man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers
have buried it

in the valley of Hamongog.

EZE-39:16 And also the name of the city [shall be] Hamonah.
Thus shall they

cleanse the land.

EZE-39:17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak
unto every

feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble
yourselves, and

come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do
sacrifice for

you, [even] a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that
ye may eat

flesh, and drink blood.

EZE-39:18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the
blood of the

princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of
bullocks, all of

them fatlings of Bashan.

EZE-39:19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood
till ye be

drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.

EZE-39:20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and
chariots, with

mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-39:21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all
the heathen

shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I
have laid upon

them.

EZE-39:22 So the house of Israel shall know that I [am] the
LORD their God

from that day and forward.

EZE-39:23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel
went into

captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me,
therefore

hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their
enemies: so fell

they all by the sword.

EZE-39:24 According to their uncleanness and according to their

transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.

EZE-39:25 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring
again the

captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of
Israel, and will be

jealous for my holy name;

EZE-39:26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their
trespasses

whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely
in their land,

and none made [them] afraid.

EZE-39:27 When I have brought them again from the people, and
gathered them

out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the
sight of many

nations;

EZE-39:28 Then shall they know that I [am] the LORD their God,
which caused

them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have
gathered them unto

their own land, and have left none of them any more there.

EZE-39:29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I
have poured

out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-40:1 In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in
the beginning of

the year, in the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth
year after that

the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD
was upon me,

and brought me thither.

EZE-40:2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of
Israel, and set

me upon a very high mountain, by which [was] as the frame of a
city on the

south.

EZE-40:3 And he brought me thither, and, behold, [there was] a
man, whose

appearance [was] like the appearance of brass, with a line of
flax in his

hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.

EZE-40:4 And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with
thine eyes, and

hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall
show thee; for

to the intent that I might show [them] unto thee [art] thou
brought hither:

declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.

EZE-40:5 And behold a wall on the outside of the house round
about, and in

the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits [long] by the
cubit and an hand

breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed;
and the height,

one reed.

EZE-40:6 Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the
east, and went

up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate,
[which was] one

reed broad; and the other threshold [of the gate, which was] one
reed broad.

EZE-40:7 And [every] little chamber [was] one reed long, and
one reed broad;

and between the little chambers [were] five cubits; and the
threshold of the

gate by the porch of the gate within [was] one reed.

EZE-40:8 He measured also the porch of the gate within, one
reed.

EZE-40:9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits;
and the posts

thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate [was] inward.

EZE-40:10 And the little chambers of the gate eastward [were]
three on this

side, and three on that side; they three [were] of one measure:
and the posts

had one measure on this side and on that side.

EZE-40:11 And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate,
ten cubits;

[and] the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.

EZE-40:12 The space also before the little chambers [was] one
cubit [on this

side], and the space [was] one cubit on that side: and the
little chambers

[were] six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

EZE-40:13 He measured then the gate from the roof of [one]
little chamber to

the roof of another: the breadth [was] five and twenty cubits,
door against

door.

EZE-40:14 He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto
the post of the

court round about the gate.

EZE-40:15 And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto
the face of the

porch of the inner gate [were] fifty cubits.

EZE-40:16 And [there were] narrow windows to the little
chambers, and to

their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the
arches: and

windows [were] round about inward: and upon [each] post [were]
palm trees.

EZE-40:17 Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo,
[there were]

chambers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty
chambers

[were] upon the pavement.

EZE-40:18 And the pavement by the side of the gates over
against the length

of the gates [was] the lower pavement.

EZE-40:19 Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of
the lower gate

unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits
eastward and

northward.

EZE-40:20 And the gate of the outward court that looked toward
the north, he

measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.

EZE-40:21 And the little chambers thereof [were] three on this
side and three

on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were
after the

measure of the first gate: the length thereof [was] fifty cubits,
and the

breadth five and twenty cubits.

EZE-40:22 And their windows, and their arches, and their palm
trees, [were]

after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and
they went up

unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof [were] before
them.

EZE-40:23 And the gate of the inner court [was] over against
the gate toward

the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to
gate an hundred

cubits.

EZE-40:24 After that he brought me toward the south, and behold
a gate toward

the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches
thereof according

to these measures.

EZE-40:25 And [there were] windows in it and in the arches
thereof round

about, like those windows: the length [was] fifty cubits, and
the breadth five

and twenty cubits.

EZE-40:26 And [there were] seven steps to go up to it, and the
arches thereof

[were] before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and
another on

that side, upon the posts thereof.

EZE-40:27 And [there was] a gate in the inner court toward the
south: and he

measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits.

EZE-40:28 And he brought me to the inner court by the south
gate: and he

measured the south gate according to these measures;

EZE-40:29 And the little chambers thereof, and the posts
thereof, and the

arches thereof, according to these measures: and [there were]
windows in it

and in the arches thereof round about: [it was] fifty cubits
long, and five

and twenty cubits broad.

EZE-40:30 And the arches round about [were] five and twenty
cubits long, and

five cubits broad.

EZE-40:31 And the arches thereof [were] toward the utter court;
and palm

trees [were] upon the posts thereof: and the going up to it
[had] eight steps.



EZE-40:32 And he brought me into the inner court toward the
east: and he

measured the gate according to these measures.

EZE-40:33 And the little chambers thereof, and the posts
thereof, and the

arches thereof, [were] according to these measures: and [there
were] windows

therein and in the arches thereof round about: [it was] fifty
cubits long, and

five and twenty cubits broad.

EZE-40:34 And the arches thereof [were] toward the outward
court; and palm

trees [were] upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that
side: and the

going up to it [had] eight steps.

EZE-40:35 And he brought me to the north gate, and measured
[it] according to

these measures;

EZE-40:36 The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, and
the arches

thereof, and the windows to it round about: the length [was]
fifty cubits, and

the breadth five and twenty cubits.

EZE-40:37 And the posts thereof [were] toward the utter court;
and palm trees

[were] upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side:
and the going

up to it [had] eight steps.

EZE-40:38 And the chambers and the entries thereof [were] by
the posts of the

gates, where they washed the burnt offering.

EZE-40:39 And in the porch of the gate [were] two tables on
this side, and

two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering and
the sin

offering and the trespass offering.

EZE-40:40 And at the side without, as one goeth up to the entry
of the north

gate, [were] two tables; and on the other side, which [was] at
the porch of

the gate, [were] two tables.

EZE-40:41 Four tables [were] on this side, and four tables on
that side, by

the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew [their
sacrifices].

EZE-40:42 And the four tables [were] of hewn stone for the
burnt offering, of

a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one
cubit high:

whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the
burnt

offering and the sacrifice.

EZE-40:43 And within [were] hooks, an hand broad, fastened
round about: and

upon the tables [was] the flesh of the offering.

EZE-40:44 And without the inner gate [were] the chambers of the
singers in

the inner court, which [was] at the side of the north gate; and
their prospect

[was] toward the south: one at the side of the east gate
[having] the prospect

toward the north.

EZE-40:45 And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect
[is] toward the

south, [is] for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the
house.

EZE-40:46 And the chamber whose prospect [is] toward the north
[is] for the

priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these [are] the
sons of Zadok

among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to minister
unto him.

EZE-40:47 So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and
an hundred

cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar [that was] before the
house.

EZE-40:48 And he brought me to the porch of the house, and
measured [each]

post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on
that side: and

the breadth of the gate [was] three cubits on this side, and
three cubits on

that side.

EZE-40:49 The length of the porch [was] twenty cubits, and the
breadth eleven

cubits; and [he brought me] by the steps whereby they went up to
it: and

[there were] pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another
on that side.



EZE-41:1 Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured
the posts, six

cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other
side, [which

was] the breadth of the tabernacle.

EZE-41:2 And the breadth of the door [was] ten cubits: and the
sides of the

door [were] five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the
other side:

and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the
breadth, twenty

cubits.

EZE-41:3 Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door,
two cubits;

and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven
cubits.

EZE-41:4 So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and
the breadth,

twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This [is]
the most holy

[place].

EZE-41:5 After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits;
and the breadth

of [every] side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on
every side.

EZE-41:6 And the side chambers [were] three, one over another,
and thirty in

order; and they entered into the wall which [was] of the house
for the side

chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had
not hold in the

wall of the house.

EZE-41:7 And [there was] an enlarging, and a winding about
still upward to

the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still
upward round

about the house: therefore the breadth of the house [was still]
upward, and so

increased [from] the lowest [chamber] to the highest by the
midst.

EZE-41:8 I saw also the height of the house round about: the
foundations of

the side chambers [were] a full reed of six great cubits.

EZE-41:9 The thickness of the wall, which [was] for the side
chamber without,

[was] five cubits: and [that] which [was] left [was] the place
of the side

chambers that [were] within.

EZE-41:10 And between the chambers [was] the wideness of twenty
cubits round

about the house on every side.

EZE-41:11 And the doors of the side chambers [were] toward [the
place that

was] left, one door toward the north, and another door toward
the south: and

the breadth of the place that was left [was] five cubits round
about.

EZE-41:12 Now the building that [was] before the separate place
at the end

toward the west [was] seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the
building [was]

five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety
cubits.

EZE-41:13 So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and
the separate

place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred
cubits long;

EZE-41:14 Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the
separate

place toward the east, an hundred cubits.

EZE-41:15 And he measured the length of the building over
against the

separate place which [was] behind it, and the galleries thereof
on the one

side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner
temple, and the

porches of the court;

EZE-41:16 The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the
galleries round

about on their three stories, over against the door, ceiled with
wood round

about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows
[were] covered;

EZE-41:17 To that above the door, even unto the inner house,
and without, and

by all the wall round about within and without, by measure.

EZE-41:18 And [it was] made with cherubims and palm trees, so
that a palm

tree [was] between a cherub and a cherub; and [every] cherub had
two faces;

EZE-41:19 So that the face of a man [was] toward the palm tree
on the one

side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the
other side: [it

was] made through all the house round about.

EZE-41:20 From the ground unto above the door [were] cherubims
and palm trees

made, and [on] the wall of the temple.

EZE-41:21 The posts of the temple [were] squared, [and] the
face of the

sanctuary; the appearance [of the one] as the appearance [of the
other].

EZE-41:22 The altar of wood [was] three cubits high, and the
length thereof

two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and
the walls

thereof, [were] of wood: and he said unto me, This [is] the
table that [is]

before the LORD.

EZE-41:23 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

EZE-41:24 And the doors had two leaves [apiece], two turning
leaves; two

[leaves] for the one door, and two leaves for the other [door].

EZE-41:25 And [there were] made on them, on the doors of the
temple,

cherubims and palm trees, like as [were] made upon the walls;
and [there were]

thick planks upon the face of the porch without.

EZE-41:26 And [there were] narrow windows and palm trees on the
one side and

on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and [upon] the
side chambers of

the house, and thick planks.

EZE-42:1 Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way
toward the

north: and he brought me into the chamber that [was] over
against the separate

place, and which [was] before the building toward the north.

EZE-42:2 Before the length of an hundred cubits [was] the north
door, and the

breadth [was] fifty cubits.

EZE-42:3 Over against the twenty [cubits] which [were] for the
inner court,

and over against the pavement which [was] for the utter court,
[was] gallery

against gallery in three [stories].

EZE-42:4 And before the chambers [was] a walk of ten cubits
breadth inward, a

way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.

EZE-42:5 Now the upper chambers [were] shorter: for the
galleries were higher

than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the
building.

EZE-42:6 For they [were] in three [stories], but had not
pillars as the

pillars of the courts: therefore [the building] was straitened
more than the

lowest and the middlemost from the ground.

EZE-42:7 And the wall that [was] without over against the
chambers, toward

the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length
thereof [was]

fifty cubits.

EZE-42:8 For the length of the chambers that [were] in the
utter court [was]

fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple [were] an hundred
cubits.

EZE-42:9 And from under these chambers [was] the entry on the
east side, as

one goeth into them from the utter court.

EZE-42:10 The chambers [were] in the thickness of the wall of
the court

toward the east, over against the separate place, and over
against the

building.

EZE-42:11 And the way before them [was] like the appearance of
the chambers

which [were] toward the north, as long as they, [and] as broad
as they: and

all their goings out [were] both according to their fashions,
and according to

their doors.

EZE-42:12 And according to the doors of the chambers that
[were] toward the

south [was] a door in the head of the way, [even] the way
directly before the

wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.

EZE-42:13 Then said he unto me, The north chambers [and] the
south chambers,

which [are] before the separate place, they [be] holy chambers,
where the

priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy
things: there

shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, and
the sin

offering, and the trespass offering; for the place [is] holy.

EZE-42:14 When the priests enter therein, then shall they not
go out of the

holy [place] into the utter court, but there they shall lay
their garments

wherein they minister; for they [are] holy; and shall put on
other garments,

and shall approach to [those things] which [are] for the people.

EZE-42:15 Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner
house, he

brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect [is] toward the
east, and

measured it round about.

EZE-42:16 He measured the east side with the measuring reed,
five hundred

reeds, with the measuring reed round about.

EZE-42:17 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with
the measuring

reed round about.

EZE-42:18 He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with
the measuring

reed.

EZE-42:19 He turned about to the west side, [and] measured five
hundred reeds

with the measuring reed.

EZE-42:20 He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round
about, five

hundred [reeds] long, and five hundred broad, to make a
separation between the

sanctuary and the profane place.

EZE-43:1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, [even] the gate
that looketh

toward the east:

EZE-43:2 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from
the way of the

east: and his voice [was] like a noise of many waters: and the
earth shined

with his glory.

EZE-43:3 And [it was] according to the appearance of the vision
which I saw,

[even] according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy
the city: and

the visions [were] like the vision that I saw by the river
Chebar; and I fell

upon my face.

EZE-43:4 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the
way of the gate

whose prospect [is] toward the east.

EZE-43:5 So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the
inner court; and,

behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.

EZE-43:6 And I heard [him] speaking unto me out of the house;
and the man

stood by me.

EZE-43:7 And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my
throne, and the

place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst
of the children

of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel
no more

defile, [neither] they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor
by the

carcases of their kings in their high places.

EZE-43:8 In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds,
and their post

by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even
defiled my holy

name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I
have consumed

them in mine anger.

EZE-43:9 Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases
of their

kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for
ever.

EZE-43:10 Thou son of man, show the house to the house of
Israel, that they

may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the
pattern.

EZE-43:11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done,
show them the

form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out
thereof, and

the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the
ordinances

thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof:
and write [it]

in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and
all the

ordinances thereof, and do them.

EZE-43:12 This [is] the law of the house; Upon the top of the
mountain the

whole limit thereof round about [shall be] most holy. Behold,
this [is] the

law of the house.

EZE-43:13 And these [are] the measures of the altar after the
cubits: The

cubit [is] a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom [shall
be] a cubit,

and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge
thereof round

about [shall be] a span: and this [shall be] the higher place of
the altar.

EZE-43:14 And from the bottom [upon] the ground [even] to the
lower settle

[shall be] two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the
lesser settle

[even] to the greater settle [shall be] four cubits, and the
breadth [one]

cubit.

EZE-43:15 So the altar [shall be] four cubits; and from the
altar and upward

[shall be] four horns.

EZE-43:16 And the altar [shall be] twelve [cubits] long, twelve
broad, square

in the four squares thereof.

EZE-43:17 And the settle [shall be] fourteen [cubits] long and
fourteen broad

in the four squares thereof; and the border about it [shall be]
half a cubit;

and the bottom thereof [shall be] a cubit about; and his stairs
shall look

toward the east.

EZE-43:18 And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord
GOD; These

[are] the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall
make it, to offer

burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.

EZE-43:19 And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that
be of the seed

of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the
Lord GOD, a

young bullock for a sin offering.

EZE-43:20 And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put
[it] on the four

horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the
border round

about: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.

EZE-43:21 Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering,
and he shall

burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the
sanctuary.

EZE-43:22 And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the
goats without

blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as
they did

cleanse [it] with the bullock.

EZE-43:23 When thou hast made an end of cleansing [it], thou
shalt offer a

young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock
without blemish.

EZE-43:24 And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the
priests shall

cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up [for] a burnt
offering unto

the LORD.

EZE-43:25 Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat [for]
a sin

offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out
of the flock,

without blemish.

EZE-43:26 Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it;
and they shall

consecrate themselves.

EZE-43:27 And when these days are expired, it shall be, [that]
upon the

eighth day, and [so] forward, the priests shall make your burnt
offerings upon

the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you,
saith the Lord

GOD.

EZE-44:1 Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the
outward sanctuary

which looketh toward the east; and it [was] shut.

EZE-44:2 Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut,
it shall not be

opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the
God of Israel,

hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.

EZE-44:3 [It is] for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it
to eat bread

before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of
[that] gate, and

shall go out by the way of the same.

EZE-44:4 Then brought he me the way of the north gate before
the house: and I

looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of
the LORD: and I

fell upon my face.

EZE-44:5 And the LORD said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and
behold with

thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee
concerning all

the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all the laws
thereof; and mark

well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the
sanctuary.

EZE-44:6 And thou shalt say to the rebellious, [even] to the
house of Israel,

Thus saith the Lord GOD; O ye house of Israel, let it suffice
you of all your

abominations,

EZE-44:7 In that ye have brought [into my sanctuary] strangers,
uncircumcised

in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to
pollute it,

[even] my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood,
and they have

broken my covenant because of all your abominations.

EZE-44:8 And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things:
but ye have set

keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.

EZE-44:9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in
heart, nor

uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any
stranger that

[is] among the children of Israel.

EZE-44:10 And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when
Israel went

astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they
shall even bear

their iniquity.

EZE-44:11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, [having]
charge at the

gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall
slay the burnt

offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand
before them to

minister unto them.

EZE-44:12 Because they ministered unto them before their idols,
and caused

the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I
lifted up mine

hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their
iniquity.

EZE-44:13 And they shall not come near unto me, to do the
office of a priest

unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most
holy [place]:

but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which
they have

committed.

EZE-44:14 But I will make them keepers of the charge of the
house, for all

the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.

EZE-44:15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that
kept the

charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray
from me, they

shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand
before me to

offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:

EZE-44:16 They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall
come near to my

table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.

EZE-44:17 And it shall come to pass, [that] when they enter in
at the gates

of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments;
and no wool

shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the
inner court,

and within.

EZE-44:18 They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and
shall have

linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird
[themselves] with any

thing that causeth sweat.

EZE-44:19 And when they go forth into the utter court, [even]
into the utter

court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein
they

ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall
put on other

garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their
garments.

EZE-44:20 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer
their locks to

grow long; they shall only poll their heads.

EZE-44:21 Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter
into the inner

court.

EZE-44:22 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor
her that is

put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house
of Israel, or a

widow that had a priest before.

EZE-44:23 And they shall teach my people [the difference]
between the holy

and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and
the clean.

EZE-44:24 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment;
[and] they shall

judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws
and my

statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my
sabbaths.

EZE-44:25 And they shall come at no dead person to defile
themselves: but for

father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother,
or for sister

that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.

EZE-44:26 And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him
seven days.

EZE-44:27 And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto
the inner

court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin
offering, saith

the Lord GOD.

EZE-44:28 And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I [am]
their

inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I
[am] their

possession.

EZE-44:29 They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin
offering, and the

trespass offering: and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be
theirs.

EZE-44:30 And the first of all the firstfruits of all [things],
and every

oblation of all, of every [sort] of your oblations, shall be the
priest's: ye

shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he
may cause the

blessing to rest in thine house.

EZE-44:31 The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead
of itself, or

torn, whether it be fowl or beast.

EZE-45:1 Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for
inheritance, ye

shall offer an oblation unto the LORD, an holy portion of the
land: the length

[shall be] the length of five and twenty thousand [reeds], and
the breadth

[shall be] ten thousand. This [shall be] holy in all the borders
thereof round

about.

EZE-45:2 Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred
[in length],

with five hundred [in breadth], square round about; and fifty
cubits round

about for the suburbs thereof.

EZE-45:3 And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of
five and twenty

thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be
the sanctuary

[and] the most holy [place].

EZE-45:4 The holy [portion] of the land shall be for the
priests the

ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister
unto the LORD:

and it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for
the sanctuary.



EZE-45:5 And the five and twenty thousand of length, and the
ten thousand of

breadth, shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house,
have for

themselves, for a possession for twenty chambers.

EZE-45:6 And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five
thousand broad,

and five and twenty thousand long, over against the oblation of
the holy

[portion]: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.

EZE-45:7 And a [portion shall be] for the prince on the one
side and on the

other side of the oblation of the holy [portion], and of the
possession of the

city, before the oblation of the holy [portion], and before the
possession of

the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side
eastward: and

the length [shall be] over against one of the portions, from the
west border

unto the east border.

EZE-45:8 In the land shall be his possession in Israel: and my
princes shall

no more oppress my people; and [the rest of] the land shall they
give to the

house of Israel according to their tribes.

EZE-45:9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes
of Israel:

remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice,
take away your

exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-45:10 Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a
just bath.

EZE-45:11 The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that
the bath may

contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah the tenth part
of an homer:

the measure thereof shall be after the homer.

EZE-45:12 And the shekel [shall be] twenty gerahs: twenty
shekels, five and

twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh.

EZE-45:13 This [is] the oblation that ye shall offer; the sixth
part of an

ephah of an homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of
an ephah of an

homer of barley:

EZE-45:14 Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, [ye
shall offer]

the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, [which is] an homer of
ten baths; for

ten baths [are] an homer:

EZE-45:15 And one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred,
out of the fat

pastures of Israel; for a meat offering, and for a burnt
offering, and for

peace offerings, to make reconciliation for them, saith the Lord
GOD.

EZE-45:16 All the people of the land shall give this oblation
for the prince

in Israel.

EZE-45:17 And it shall be the prince's part [to give] burnt
offerings, and

meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the
new moons, and

in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he
shall prepare

the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering,
and the peace

offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel.

EZE-45:18 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the first [month], in the
first [day]

of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish,
and cleanse the

sanctuary:

EZE-45:19 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin
offering, and put

[it] upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of
the settle of

the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.

EZE-45:20 And so thou shalt do the seventh [day] of the month
for every one

that erreth, and for [him that is] simple: so shall ye reconcile
the house.

EZE-45:21 In the first [month], in the fourteenth day of the
month, ye shall

have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall
be eaten.

EZE-45:22 And upon that day shall the prince prepare for
himself and for all

the people of the land a bullock [for] a sin offering.

EZE-45:23 And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt
offering to

the LORD, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily
the seven days;

and a kid of the goats daily [for] a sin offering.

EZE-45:24 And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for
a bullock, and

an ephah for a ram, and an hin of oil for an ephah.

EZE-45:25 In the seventh [month], in the fifteenth day of the
month, shall he

do the like in the feast of the seven days, according to the sin
offering,

according to the burnt offering, and according to the meat
offering, and

according to the oil.

EZE-46:1 Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court
that looketh

toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the
sabbath it

shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be
opened.

EZE-46:2 And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of
[that] gate

without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the
priests shall

prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall
worship at

the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate
shall not be

shut until the evening.

EZE-46:3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the
door of this

gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.

EZE-46:4 And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer
unto the LORD in

the sabbath day [shall be] six lambs without blemish, and a ram
without

blemish.

EZE-46:5 And the meat offering [shall be] an ephah for a ram,
and the meat

offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give, and an hin
of oil to an

ephah.

EZE-46:6 And in the day of the new moon [it shall be] a young
bullock without

blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without blemish.


EZE-46:7 And he shall prepare a meat offering, an ephah for a
bullock, and an

ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall
attain unto,

and an hin of oil to an ephah.

EZE-46:8 And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the
way of the

porch of [that] gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof.

EZE-46:9 But when the people of the land shall come before the
LORD in the

solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate
to worship

shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth
by the way of

the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he
shall not

return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go
forth over

against it.

EZE-46:10 And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in,
shall go in;

and when they go forth, shall go forth.

EZE-46:11 And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meat
offering shall be

an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs
as he is able

to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.

EZE-46:12 Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt
offering or

peace offerings voluntarily unto the LORD, [one] shall then open
him the gate

that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt
offering and his

peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall go
forth; and

after his going forth [one] shall shut the gate.

EZE-46:13 Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the
LORD [of] a lamb

of the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every
morning.

EZE-46:14 And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every
morning, the

sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to
temper with

the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a perpetual
ordinance unto the

LORD.

EZE-46:15 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat
offering, and the

oil, every morning [for] a continual burnt offering.

EZE-46:16 Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift
unto any of his

sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons'; it [shall be]
their

possession by inheritance.

EZE-46:17 But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of
his servants,

then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall
return to the

prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons' for them.

EZE-46:18 Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's
inheritance by

oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; [but] he
shall give his

sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be
not scattered

every man from his possession.

EZE-46:19 After he brought me through the entry, which [was] at
the side of

the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked
toward the

north: and, behold, there [was] a place on the two sides
westward.

EZE-46:20 Then said he unto me, This [is] the place where the
priests shall

boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they
shall bake the

meat offering; that they bear [them] not out into the utter
court, to sanctify

the people.

EZE-46:21 Then he brought me forth into the utter court, and
caused me to

pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every
corner of the

court [there was] a court.

EZE-46:22 In the four corners of the court [there were] courts
joined of

forty [cubits] long and thirty broad: these four corners [were]
of one

measure.

EZE-46:23 And [there was] a row [of building] round about in
them, round

about them four, and [it was] made with boiling places under the
rows round

about.

EZE-46:24 Then said he unto me, These [are] the places of them
that boil,

where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the
people.

EZE-47:1 Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the
house; and,

behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house
eastward: for

the forefront of the house [stood toward] the east, and the
waters came down

from under from the right side of the house, at the south [side]
of the altar.



EZE-47:2 Then brought he me out of the way of the gate
northward, and led me

about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that
looketh eastward;

and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.

EZE-47:3 And when the man that had the line in his hand went
forth eastward,

he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the
waters; the

waters [were] to the ankles.

EZE-47:4 Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through
the waters; the

waters [were] to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and
brought me

through; the waters [were] to the loins.

EZE-47:5 Afterward he measured a thousand; [and it was] a river
that I could

not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a
river that

could not be passed over.

EZE-47:6 And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen
[this]? Then he

brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.

EZE-47:7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the
river [were]

very many trees on the one side and on the other.

EZE-47:8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward
the east

country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea:
[which being]

brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.

EZE-47:9 And it shall come to pass, [that] every thing that
liveth, which

moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and
there shall be a

very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come
thither: for

they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the
river cometh.

EZE-47:10 And it shall come to pass, [that] the fishers shall
stand upon it

from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a [place] to
spread forth nets;

their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the
great sea,

exceeding many.

EZE-47:11 But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof
shall not be

healed; they shall be given to salt.

EZE-47:12 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side
and on that

side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade,
neither shall

the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit
according to his

months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary:
and the fruit

thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.

EZE-47:13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This [shall be] the border,
whereby ye

shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel:
Joseph [shall

have two] portions.

EZE-47:14 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another:
[concerning] the

which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and
this land shall

fall unto you for inheritance.

EZE-47:15 And this [shall be] the border of the land toward the
north side,

from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;

EZE-47:16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which [is] between the
border of

Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which [is] by
the coast of

Hauran.

EZE-47:17 And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the
border of

Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And
[this is] the

north side.

EZE-47:18 And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and
from Damascus,

and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel [by] Jordan, from
the border unto

the east sea. And [this is] the east side.

EZE-47:19 And the south side southward, from Tamar [even] to
the waters of

strife [in] Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And [this is]
the south side

southward.

EZE-47:20 The west side also [shall be] the great sea from the
border, till a

man come over against Hamath. This [is] the west side.

EZE-47:21 So shall ye divide this land unto you according to
the tribes of

Israel.

EZE-47:22 And it shall come to pass, [that] ye shall divide it
by lot for an

inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among
you, which shall

beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in
the country

among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with
you among the

tribes of Israel.

EZE-47:23 And it shall come to pass, [that] in what tribe the
stranger

sojourneth, there shall ye give [him] his inheritance, saith the
Lord GOD.

EZE-48:1 Now these [are] the names of the tribes. From the
north end to the

coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazarenan,
the border of

Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his
sides east [and]

west; a [portion for] Dan.

EZE-48:2 And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the
west side, a

[portion for] Asher.

EZE-48:3 And by the border of Asher, from the east side even
unto the west

side, a [portion for] Naphtali.

EZE-48:4 And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto
the west

side, a [portion for] Manasseh.

EZE-48:5 And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto
the west

side, a [portion for] Ephraim.

EZE-48:6 And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even
unto the west

side, a [portion for] Reuben.

EZE-48:7 And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto
the west side,

a [portion for] Judah.

EZE-48:8 And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto
the west side,

shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty
thousand [reeds

in] breadth, and [in] length as one of the [other] parts, from
the east side

unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of
it.

EZE-48:9 The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD [shall
be] of five

and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth.

EZE-48:10 And for them, [even] for the priests, shall be [this]
holy

oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand [in length],
and toward

the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten
thousand in breadth,

and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the
sanctuary of

the LORD shall be in the midst thereof.

EZE-48:11 [It shall be] for the priests that are sanctified of
the sons of

Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the
children of

Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.

EZE-48:12 And [this] oblation of the land that is offered shall
be unto them

a thing most holy by the border of the Levites.

EZE-48:13 And over against the border of the priests the
Levites [shall have]

five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth:
all the

length [shall be] five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten
thousand.

EZE-48:14 And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor
alienate the

firstfruits of the land: for [it is] holy unto the LORD.

EZE-48:15 And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth
over against

the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane [place] for the
city, for

dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst
thereof.

EZE-48:16 And these [shall be] the measures thereof; the north
side four

thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and
five hundred,

and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the
west side four

thousand and five hundred.

EZE-48:17 And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north
two hundred

and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and
toward the east two

hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty.

EZE-48:18 And the residue in length over against the oblation
of the holy

[portion shall be] ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand
westward: and it

shall be over against the oblation of the holy [portion]; and
the increase

thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city.

EZE-48:19 And they that serve the city shall serve it out of
all the tribes

of Israel.

EZE-48:20 All the oblation [shall be] five and twenty thousand
by five and

twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare,
with the

possession of the city.

EZE-48:21 And the residue [shall be] for the prince, on the one
side and on

the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the
city, over

against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the
east border,

and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward
the west border,

over against the portions for the prince: and it shall be the
holy oblation;

and the sanctuary of the house [shall be] in the midst thereof.

EZE-48:22 Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from
the

possession of the city, [being] in the midst [of that] which is
the prince's,

between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be
for the

prince.

EZE-48:23 As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side
unto the west

side, Benjamin [shall have] a [portion].

EZE-48:24 And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side
unto the west

side, Simeon [shall have] a [portion].

EZE-48:25 And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto
the west side,

Issachar a [portion].

EZE-48:26 And by the border of Issachar, from the east side
unto the west

side, Zebulun a [portion].

EZE-48:27 And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto
the west

side, Gad a [portion].

EZE-48:28 And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward,
the border

shall be even from Tamar [unto] the waters of strife [in] Kadesh,
[and] to the

river toward the great sea.

EZE-48:29 This [is] the land which ye shall divide by lot unto
the tribes of

Israel for inheritance, and these [are] their portions, saith
the Lord GOD.

EZE-48:30 And these [are] the goings out of the city on the
north side, four

thousand and five hundred measures.

EZE-48:31 And the gates of the city [shall be] after the names
of the tribes

of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate
of Judah, one

gate of Levi.

EZE-48:32 And at the east side four thousand and five hundred:
and three

gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of
Dan.

EZE-48:33 And at the south side four thousand and five hundred
measures: and

three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate
of Zebulun.

EZE-48:34 At the west side four thousand and five hundred,
[with] their three

gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.

EZE-48:35 [It was] round about eighteen thousand [measures]:
and the name of

the city from [that] day [shall be], The LORD [is] there.
