Ezekiel 1



1. Now it came <01961> to pass in the thirtieth < 07970> year <08141>, in the fourth <07243> [month], in the fifth <02568> [day] of the month <02320>, as I [was] among < 08432> the captives <01473> by the river <05104> of Chebar <03529>, [that] the heavens <08064> were opened <06605>, and I saw <07200> visions <04759> of God <0430>.

2 In the fifth <02568> [day] of the month <02320>, which <01958> [was] the fifth <02549> year <08141> of king <04428> Jehoiachin's <03112> captivity <01546>,

3 The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came < 01961> expressly unto Ezekiel <03168> the priest <03548>, the son <01121> of Buzi <0941>, in the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <03779> by the river <05104> Chebar <03529> ; and the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> was there < 08033> upon him.

4. And I looked <07200>, and, behold <02009>, a whirlwind came <0935> out of the north <06828>, a great < 01419> cloud <06051>, and a fire <0784> infolding < 03947> itself, and a brightness <05051> [was] about <05439> it, and out of the midst <08432> thereof as the colour <05869> of amber <02830>, out of the midst <08432> of the fire < 0784>.

5 Also out of the midst <08432> thereof [came] the likeness <01823> of four <0702> living <02416> creatures <02416>. And this <02088> [was] their appearance <04758>; they had the likeness <01823> of a man <0120>.

6 And every one <0259> had four <0702> faces < 06440>, and every one <0259> had four <0702> wings < 03671>.

7 And their feet <07272> [were] straight <03474> feet <07272>; and the sole <03709> of their feet <07272> [was] like the sole <03709> of a calf's <05695> foot < 07272>: and they sparkled <05340> like the colour <05869> of burnished <07044> brass <05178>.

8 And [they had] the hands <03027> of a man <0120> under <08478> their wings <03671> on <05921> their four <0702> sides <07253>; and they four <0702> had their faces <06440> and their wings <03671>.

9 Their wings <03671> [were] joined <02266> one < 0802> to another <0269>; they turned <05437> not when they went <03212>; they went <03212> every <0376> one < 0376> straight <05676> forward <06440>.

10 As for the likeness <01823> of their faces < 06440>, they four <0702> had the face <06440> of a man < 0120>, and the face <06440> of a lion <0738>, on < 0413> the right <03225> side <03225>: and they four < 0702> had the face <06440> of an ox <07794> on the left < 08040> side <08040>; they four <0702> also had the face < 06440> of an eagle <05404>.

11 Thus [were] their faces <06440>: and their wings < 03671> [were] stretched <06504> upward <04605>; two < 08147> [wings] of every <0376> one <0376> [were] joined < 02266> one <0376> to another <0376>, and two <08147> covered <03680> their bodies <01472>.

12 And they went <03212> every <0376> one < 0376> straight <05676> forward <06440>: whither the spirit <07307> was to go <03212>, they went <03212>; [and] they turned <05437> not when they went <03212>.

13 As for the likeness <01823> of the living <02416> creatures <02416>, their appearance <04758> [was] like burning <01197> coals <01513> of fire <0784>, [and] like the appearance <04758> of lamps <03940>: it went <01980> up and down among <0996> the living <02416> creatures < 02416>; and the fire <0784> was bright <05051>, and out of the fire <0784> went <03318> forth <03318> lightning < 01300>.

14 And the living <02416> creatures <02416> ran < 07519> and returned <07725> as the appearance <04758> of a flash <0965> of lightning <0965>.

15. Now as I beheld <07200> the living <02416> creatures <02416>, behold <02009> one <0259> wheel < 0212> upon the earth <0776> by the living <02416> creatures <02416>, with his four <0702> faces <06440>.

16 The appearance <04758> of the wheels <0212> and their work <04639> [was] like unto the colour <05869> of a beryl <08658>: and they four <0702> had one <0259> likeness <01823>: and their appearance <04758> and their work <04639> [was] as it were a wheel <0212> in the middle < 08432> of a wheel <0212>.

17 When they went <03212>, they went <03212> upon their four <0702> sides <07253>: [and] they turned < 05437> not when they went <03212>.

18 As for their rings <01354>, they were so high < 01362> that they were dreadful <03374>; and their rings < 01354> [were] full <04392> of eyes <05869> round < 05439> about them four <0702>.

19 And when the living <02416> creatures <02416> went <03212>, the wheels <0212> went <03212> by them: and when the living <02416> creatures <02416> were lifted < 05375> up from the earth <0776>, the wheels <0212> were lifted <05375> up.

20 Whithersoever the spirit <07307> was to go < 03212>, they went <03212>, thither <08033> [was their] spirit <07307> to go <03212>; and the wheels <0212> were lifted <05375> up over <05980> against <05980> them: for the spirit <07307> of the living <02416> creature <02416> [was] in the wheels <0212>.

21 When those went <03212>, [these] went <03212>; and when those stood <05975>, [these] stood <05975>; and when those were lifted <05375> up from the earth <0776>, the wheels <0212> were lifted <05375> up over <05980> against < 05980> them: for the spirit <07307> of the living <02416> creature <02416> [was] in the wheels <0212>.

22 And the likeness <01823> of the firmament <07549> upon the heads <07218> of the living <02416> creature < 02416> [was] as the colour <05869> of the terrible <03372> crystal <07140>, stretched <05186> forth over <05921> their heads <07218> above <04605>.

23 And under <08478> the firmament <07549> [were] their wings <03671> straight <03474>, the one <0802> toward <0413> the other <0269>: every <0376> one < 0376> had two <08147>, which covered <03680> on this < 02007> side, and every <0376> one <0376> had two < 08147>, which covered <03680> on that side, their bodies < 01472>.

24 And when they went <03212>, I heard <08085> the noise <06963> of their wings <03671>, like the noise < 06963> of great <07227> waters <04325>, as the voice < 06963> of the Almighty <07706>, the voice <06963> of speech <01999>, as the noise <06963> of an host <04264>: when they stood <05975>, they let <07503> down <07503> their wings <03671>.

25 And there was a voice <06963> from the firmament < 07549> that [was] over <05921> their heads <07218>, when they stood <05975>, [and] had let <07503> down <07503> their wings <03671>.

26. And above <04605> the firmament <07549> that [was] over <05921> their heads <07218> [was] the likeness < 01823> of a throne <03678>, as the appearance <04758> of a sapphire <05601> stone <068>: and upon the likeness < 01823> of the throne <03678> [was] the likeness <01823> as the appearance <04758> of a man <0120> above <04605> upon it.

27 And I saw <07200> as the colour <05869> of amber <02830>, as the appearance <04758> of fire <0784> round <05439> about within <01004> it, from the appearance < 04758> of his loins <04975> even upward <04605>, and from the appearance <04758> of his loins <04975> even downward < 04295>, I saw <07200> as it were the appearance <04758> of fire <0784>, and it had brightness <05051> round <05439> about.

28 As the appearance <04758> of the bow <07198> that is in the cloud <06051> in the day <03117> of rain < 01653>, so <03651> [was] the appearance <04758> of the brightness <05051> round <05439> about. This <01931> [was] the appearance <04758> of the likeness <01823> of the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068>. And when I saw <07200> [it], I fell <05307> upon my face <06440>, and I heard < 08085> a voice <06963> of one that spake <01696>.

Ezekiel 2

1. And he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, stand <05975> upon thy feet <07272>, and I will speak <01696> unto thee.

2 And the spirit <07307> entered <0935> into me when <0834> he spake <01696> unto me, and set <05975> me upon my feet <07272>, that I heard <08085> him that spake < 01696> unto me.

3 And he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, I send <07971> thee to the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, to a rebellious <04775> nation <01471> that hath rebelled <04775> against me: they and their fathers < 01> have transgressed <06586> against me, [even] unto this < 02088> very <06106> day <03117>.

4 For [they are] impudent children <01121> and stiffhearted. I do send <07971> thee unto them; and thou shalt say <0559> unto them, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>.

5 And they, whether <0518> they will hear <08085>, or whether <0518> they will forbear <02308>, (for they [are] a rebellious <04805> house <01004>,) yet shall know <03045> that there hath been <01961> a prophet <05030> among < 08432> them.

6. And thou, son <01121> of man <0120>, be not afraid <03372> of them, neither <0408> be afraid <03372> of their words <01697>, though <03588> briers <05621> and thorns <05544> [be] with thee, and thou dost dwell <03427> among <0413> scorpions <06137>: be not afraid <03372> of their words <01697>, nor <0408> be dismayed <02865> at their looks <06400>, though <03588> they [be] a rebellious < 04805> house.

7 And thou shalt speak <01696> my words <01697> unto them, whether <0518> they will hear <08085>, or whether <0518> they will forbear <02308>: for they [are] most rebellious <04805>.

8 But thou, son <01121> of man <0120>, hear < 08085> what I say <01696> unto thee; Be not thou rebellious < 04805> like that rebellious <04805> house <01004>: open < 06475> thy mouth <06310>, and eat <0398> that I give < 05414> thee.

9 And when I looked <07200>, behold <02009>, an hand <03027> [was] sent <07971> unto me; and, lo <02009>, a roll <04040> of a book <05612> [was] therein;

10 And he spread <06566> it before <06440> me; and it [was] written <03789> within <06440> and without < 0268>: and [there was] written <03789> therein <0413> lamentations <07015>, and mourning <01899>, and woe < 01958>.

Ezekiel 3

1. Moreover he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, eat <0398> that thou findest <04672>; eat <0398> this <02063> roll <04040>, and go <03212> speak <01696> unto the house <01004> of Israel <03478>.

2 So I opened <06605> my mouth <06310>, and he caused me to eat <0398> that roll <04040>.

3 And he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, cause thy belly <0990> to eat <0398>, and fill <04390> thy bowels <04578> with this <02063> roll < 04040> that I give <05414> thee. Then did I eat <0398> [it]; and it was in my mouth <06310> as honey <01706> for sweetness <04966>.

4 And he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, go <03212>, get <0935> thee unto the house < 01004> of Israel <03478>, and speak <01696> with my words <01697> unto them.

5 For thou [art] not sent <07971> to a people < 05971> of a strange <06012> speech <08193> and of an hard <03515> language <03956>, [but] to the house <01004> of Israel <03478>;

6 Not to many <07227> people <05971> of a strange <06012> speech <08193> and of an hard <03515> language <03956>, whose <0834> words <01697> thou canst not understand <08085>. Surely, had I sent <07971> thee to them, they would have hearkened <08085> unto thee.

7 But the house <01004> of Israel <03478> will < 014> not hearken <08085> unto thee; for they will <014> not hearken <08085> unto me: for all <03605> the house < 01004> of Israel <03478> [are] impudent and hardhearted.

8 Behold <02009>, I have made <05414> thy face < 06440> strong <02389> against <05980> their faces < 06440>, and thy forehead <04696> strong <02389> against < 05980> their foreheads <04696>.

9 As an adamant <08068> harder <02389> than flint <06864> have I made <05414> thy forehead <04696>: fear <03372> them not, neither <03808> be dismayed <02865> at their looks <06400>, though they [be] a rebellious <04805> house <01004>.

10 Moreover he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, all <03605> my words <01697> that I shall speak <01696> unto thee receive <03947> in thine heart < 03824>, and hear <08085> with thine ears <0241>.

11 And go <03212>, get <0935> thee to them of the captivity <01473>, unto the children <01121> of thy people < 05971>, and speak <01696> unto them, and tell <0559> them, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD < 03069>; whether <0518> they will hear <08085>, or whether <0518> they will forbear <02308>.

12 Then the spirit <07307> took <05375> me up, and I heard <08085> behind <0310> me a voice <06963> of a great <01419> rushing <07494>, [saying], Blessed <01288> [be] the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> from his place < 04725>.

13 [I heard] also the noise <06963> of the wings < 03671> of the living <02416> creatures <02416> that touched <05401> one <0802> another <0269>, and the noise < 06963> of the wheels <0212> over <05980> against < 05980> them, and a noise <06963> of a great <01419> rushing <07494>.

14 So the spirit <07307> lifted <05375> me up, and took <03947> me away, and I went <03212> in bitterness < 04751>, in the heat <02534> of my spirit <07307>; but the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> was strong <02388> upon me.

15 Then I came <0935> to them of the captivity < 01473> at Telabib <08512>, that dwelt <03427> by the river <05104> of Chebar <03529>, and I sat <03427> where < 08033> they sat <03427>, and remained <03427> there < 08033> astonished <08074> among <08432> them seven < 07651> days <03117>.

16. And it came <01961> to pass at the end <07097> of seven <07651> days <03117>, that the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

17 Son <01121> of man <0120>, I have made < 05414> thee a watchman <06822> unto the house <01004> of Israel <03478>: therefore hear <08085> the word <01697> at my mouth <06310>, and give them warning <02094> from me.

18 When I say <0559> unto the wicked <07563>, Thou shalt surely die <04191>; and thou givest him not warning < 02094>, nor <03808> speakest <01696> to warn <02094> the wicked <07563> from his wicked <07563> way <01870>, to save <02421> his life <02421>; the same <01931> wicked <07563> [man] shall die <04191> in his iniquity < 05771>; but his blood <01818> will I require <01245> at thine hand <03027>.

19 Yet if <03588> thou warn <02094> the wicked < 07563>, and he turn <07725> not from his wickedness <07562>, nor from his wicked <07563> way <01870>, he shall die < 04191> in his iniquity <05771>; but thou hast delivered < 05337> thy soul <05315>.

20 Again <07725>, When a righteous <06662> [man] doth turn <07725> from his righteousness <06664>, and commit <06213> iniquity <05766>, and I lay <05414> a stumblingblock <04383> before <06440> him, he shall die < 04191>: because <03588> thou hast not given him warning < 02094>, he shall die <04191> in his sin <02403>, and his righteousness <06666> which <0834> he hath done <06213> shall not be remembered <02142>; but his blood <01818> will I require <01245> at thine hand <03027>.

21 Nevertheless if <03588> thou warn <02094> the righteous <06662> [man], that the righteous <06662> sin < 02398> not, and he doth not sin <02398>, he shall surely live < 02421>, because <03588> he is warned <02094>; also thou hast delivered <05337> thy soul <05315>.

22. And the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> was there <08033> upon me; and he said <0559> unto me, Arise < 06965>, go <03318> forth <03318> into <0413> the plain <01237>, and I will there <08033> talk <01696> with thee.

23 Then I arose <06965>, and went <03318> forth < 03318> into <0413> the plain <01237>: and, behold < 02009>, the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> stood < 05975> there <08033>, as the glory <03519> which < 0834> I saw <07200> by the river <05104> of Chebar < 03529>: and I fell <05307> on <05921> my face <06440>.

24 Then the spirit <07307> entered <0935> into me, and set <05975> me upon my feet <07272>, and spake < 01696> with me, and said <0559> unto me, Go <0935>, shut <05462> thyself within <08432> thine house <01004>.

25 But thou, O son <01121> of man <0120>, behold <02009>, they shall put <05414> bands <05688> upon thee, and shall bind <0631> thee with them, and thou shalt not go < 03318> out among <08432> them:

26 And I will make thy tongue <03956> cleave <01692> to the roof <02441> of thy mouth <02441>, that thou shalt be dumb <0481>, and shalt not be to them a reprover <03198>: for they [are] a rebellious <04805> house <01004>.

27 But when I speak <01696> with thee, I will open < 06605> thy mouth <06310>, and thou shalt say <0559> unto them, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD < 03069>; He that heareth <08085>, let him hear <08085>; and he that forbeareth <02310>, let him forbear <02308>: for they [are] a rebellious <04805> house <01004>.

Ezekiel 4

1. Thou also, son <01121> of man <0120>, take < 03947> thee a tile <03843>, and lay <05414> it before < 06440> thee, and pourtray <02710> upon it the city <05892>, [even <0853>] Jerusalem <03389>:

2 And lay <05414> siege <04692> against < 05921> it, and build <01129> a fort <01785> against < 05921> it, and cast <08210> a mount <05550> against < 05921> it; set <05414> the camp <04264> also against < 05921> it, and set <07760> [battering] rams <03733> against <05921> it round <05439> about.

3 Moreover take <03947> thou unto thee an iron < 01270> pan <04227>, and set <05414> it [for] a wall < 07023> of iron <01270> between <0996> thee and the city < 05892>: and set <03559> thy face <06440> against < 0413> it, and it shall be besieged <04692>, and thou shalt lay siege <06696> against <05921> it. This <01931> [shall be] a sign <0226> to the house <01004> of Israel <03478>.

4 Lie <07901> thou also upon thy left <08042> side <06654>, and lay <07760> the iniquity <05771> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478> upon it: [according] to the number <04557> of the days <03117> that thou shalt lie < 07901> upon it thou shalt bear <05375> their iniquity < 05771>.

5 For I have laid <05414> upon thee the years < 08141> of their iniquity <05771>, according to the number < 04557> of the days <03117>, three <07969> hundred < 03967> and ninety <08673> days <03117>: so shalt thou bear <05375> the iniquity <05771> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>.

6 And when thou hast accomplished <03615> them, lie < 07901> again <08145> on <05921> thy right <06227> side <06654>, and thou shalt bear <05375> the iniquity < 05771> of the house <01004> of Judah <03063> forty < 0705> days <03117>: I have appointed <05414> thee each day <03117> for a year <08141>.

7 Therefore thou shalt set <03559> thy face <06440> toward <0413> the siege <04692> of Jerusalem <03389>, and thine arm <02220> [shall be] uncovered <02834>, and thou shalt prophesy <05012> against <05921> it.

8 And, behold <02009>, I will lay bands <05688> upon thee, and thou shalt not turn <02015> thee from one side < 06654> to another, till <05704> thou hast ended <03615> the days <03117> of thy siege <04692>.

9. Take <03947> thou also unto thee wheat <02406>, and barley <08184>, and beans <06321>, and lentiles < 05742>, and millet <01764>, and fitches <03698>, and put <05414> them in one <0259> vessel <03627>, and make < 06213> thee bread <03899> thereof, [according] to the number < 04557> of the days <03117> that thou shalt lie <07901> upon thy side <06654>, three <07969> hundred <03967> and ninety <08673> days <03117> shalt thou eat <0398> thereof.

10 And thy meat <03978> which <0834> thou shalt eat <0398> [shall be] by weight <04946>, twenty <06242> shekels <08255> a day <03117>: from time <06256> to time <06256> shalt thou eat <0398> it.

11 Thou shalt drink <08354> also water <04325> by measure <04884>, the sixth <08345> part of an hin <01969> : from time <06256> to time <06256> shalt thou drink < 08354>.

12 And thou shalt eat <0398> it [as] barley <08184> cakes <05692>, and thou shalt bake <05746> it with dung < 01561> that cometh <06627> out of man <0120>, in their sight <05869>.

13 And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, Even < 03602> thus <03602> shall the children <01121> of Israel <03478> eat <0398> their defiled <02931> bread < 03899> among the Gentiles <01471>, whither I will drive < 05080> them.

14 Then said <0559> I, Ah <0162> Lord <0136> GOD <03069>! behold <02009>, my soul <05315> hath not been polluted <02930>: for from my youth <05271> up even till <05704> now <06258> have I not eaten <0398> of that which dieth <05038> of itself, or is torn <02966> in pieces; neither <03808> came <0935> there abominable <06292> flesh <01320> into my mouth <06310>.

15 Then he said <0559> unto me, Lo <07200>, I have given <05414> thee cow's <01241> dung <06832> for man's <0120> dung <01561>, and thou shalt prepare <06213> thy bread <03899> therewith <05921>.

16 Moreover he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, behold <02005>, I will break <07665> the staff <04294> of bread <03899> in Jerusalem <03389>: and they shall eat <0398> bread <03899> by weight <04948>, and with care <01674>; and they shall drink <08354> water < 04325> by measure <04884>, and with astonishment <08078>:

17 That they may want <02637> bread <03899> and water <04325>, and be astonied <08074> one <0376> with another <0250>, and consume <04743> away for their iniquity <05771>.

Ezekiel 5

1. And thou, son <01121> of man <0120>, take < 03947> thee a sharp <02299> knife <02719>, take < 03947> thee a barber's <01532> razor <08593>, and cause [it] to pass <05674> upon thine head <07218> and upon thy beard <02206>: then take <03947> thee balances <03976> to weigh <04948>, and divide <02505> the [hair].

2 Thou shalt burn <01197> with fire <0217> a third <07992> part in the midst <08432> of the city <05892>, when the days <03117> of the siege <04692> are fulfilled < 04390>: and thou shalt take <03947> a third <07992> part, [and] smite <05221> about <05439> it with a knife <02719> : and a third <07992> part thou shalt scatter <02219> in the wind <07307>; and I will draw <07324> out a sword <02719> after <0310> them.

3 Thou shalt also take <03947> thereof a few <04592> in number <04557>, and bind <06887> them in thy skirts < 03671>.

4 Then take <03947> of them again <05750>, and cast <07993> them into <0413> the midst <08432> of the fire <0784>, and burn <08313> them in the fire <0784>; [for] thereof shall a fire <0784> come <03318> forth <03318> into <0413> all <03605> the house <01004> of Israel < 03478>.

5. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; This <02063> [is] Jerusalem <03389>: I have set <07760> it in the midst <08432> of the nations < 01471> and countries <0776> [that are] round <05439> about her.

6 And she hath changed <04171> my judgments <04941> into wickedness <07564> more <04480> than <04480> the nations <01471>, and my statutes <02708> more <04480> than <04480> the countries <0776> that [are] round < 05439> about her: for they have refused <03988> my judgments < 04941> and my statutes <02708>, they have not walked <01980> in them.

7 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Because <03282> ye multiplied <01995> more <04480> than <04480> the nations <01471> that [are] round <05439> about you, [and] have not walked <01980> in my statutes <02708>, neither <03808> have kept <06213> my judgments <04941>, neither <03808> have done <06213> according to the judgments <04941> of the nations <01471> that [are] round <05439> about you;

8 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I, even < 01571> I, [am] against <05921> thee, and will execute < 06213> judgments <04941> in the midst <08432> of thee in the sight <05869> of the nations <01471>.

9 And I will do <06213> in thee that which <0834> I have not done <06213>, and whereunto <0834> I will not do < 06213> any more <05750> the like <03644>, because < 03282> of all <03605> thine abominations <08441>.

10 Therefore <03651> the fathers <01> shall eat < 0398> the sons <01121> in the midst <08432> of thee, and the sons <01121> shall eat <0398> their fathers <01>; and I will execute <06213> judgments <08201> in thee, and the whole <03605> remnant <07611> of thee will I scatter < 02219> into all <03605> the winds <07307>.

11 Wherefore <03651>, [as] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Surely, because < 03282> thou hast defiled <02930> my sanctuary <04720> with all <03605> thy detestable <08251> things, and with all < 03605> thine abominations <08441>, therefore will I also < 01571> diminish <01639> [thee]; neither <01571> shall mine eye <05869> spare <02347>, neither <01571> will I have any pity <02550>.

12 A third <07992> part of thee shall die <04191> with the pestilence <01698>, and with famine <07458> shall they be consumed <03615> in the midst <08432> of thee: and a third <07992> part shall fall <05307> by the sword < 02719> round <05439> about thee; and I will scatter <02219> a third <07992> part into all <03605> the winds <07307>, and I will draw <07324> out a sword <02719> after <0310> them.

13 Thus shall mine anger <0639> be accomplished < 03615>, and I will cause my fury <02534> to rest <05117> upon them, and I will be comforted <05162>: and they shall know < 03045> that I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> [it] in my zeal <07068>, when I have accomplished <03615> my fury < 02534> in them.

14 Moreover I will make <05414> thee waste <02723>, and a reproach <02781> among the nations <01471> that [are] round <05439> about thee, in the sight <05869> of all < 03605> that pass <05674> by.

15 So it shall be a reproach <02781> and a taunt < 01422>, an instruction <04148> and an astonishment <08047> unto the nations <01471> that [are] round <05439> about thee, when I shall execute <06213> judgments <08201> in thee in anger <0639> and in fury <02534> and in furious <02534> rebukes <08433>. I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> [it].

16 When I shall send <07971> upon them the evil < 07451> arrows <02671> of famine <07458>, which <0834> shall be for [their] destruction <04889>, [and] which <0834> I will send <07971> to destroy <07843> you: and I will increase <03254> the famine <07458> upon you, and will break < 07665> your staff <04294> of bread <03899>:

17 So will I send <07971> upon you famine <07458> and evil <07451> beasts <02416>, and they shall bereave < 07921> thee; and pestilence <01698> and blood <01818> shall pass <05674> through thee; and I will bring <0935> the sword <02719> upon thee. I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> [it].

Ezekiel 6

1. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came < 01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, set <07760> thy face <06440> toward <0413> the mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>, and prophesy <05012> against <0413> them,

3 And say <0559>, Ye mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>, hear <08085> the word <01697> of the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>; Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> to the mountains <02022>, and to the hills <01389>, to the rivers <0650>, and to the valleys < 01516>; Behold <02005>, I, [even] I, will bring <0935> a sword <02719> upon you, and I will destroy <06> your high < 01116> places.

4 And your altars <04196> shall be desolate <08074>, and your images <02553> shall be broken <07665>: and I will cast <05307> down <05307> your slain <02491> [men] before <06440> your idols <01544>.

5 And I will lay <05414> the dead carcases <06297> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> before <06440> their idols <01544>; and I will scatter <02219> your bones < 06106> round <05439> about your altars <04196>.

6 In all <03605> your dwellingplaces <04186> the cities <05892> shall be laid waste <02717>, and the high < 01116> places shall be desolate <03456>; that your altars < 04196> may be laid waste <02717> and made desolate <0816>, and your idols <01544> may be broken <07665> and cease < 07673>, and your images <02553> may be cut <01438> down < 01438>, and your works <04639> may be abolished <04229>.

7 And the slain <02491> shall fall <05307> in the midst <08432> of you, and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

8. Yet will I leave <03498> a remnant <03498>, that ye may have <01961> [some] that shall escape <06412> the sword <02719> among the nations <01471>, when ye shall be scattered <02219> through the countries <0776>.

9 And they that escape <06412> of you shall remember < 02142> me among the nations <01471> whither they shall be carried <07617> captives <07617>, because <0834> I am broken < 07665> with their whorish <02181> heart <03820>, which < 0834> hath departed <05493> from me, and with their eyes < 05869>, which go a whoring <02181> after <0310> their idols <01544>: and they shall lothe <06962> themselves <06440> for the evils <07451> which <0834> they have committed < 06213> in all <03605> their abominations <08441>.

10 And they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD < 03068>, [and that] I have not said <01696> in vain <02600> that I would do <06213> this <02063> evil <07451> unto them.

11. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Smite <05221> with thine hand <03709>, and stamp <07554> with thy foot <07272>, and say <0559>, Alas <0253> for all <03605> the evil <07451> abominations <08441> of the house <01004> of Israel < 03478>! for they shall fall <05307> by the sword <02719>, by the famine <07458>, and by the pestilence <01698>.

12 He that is far <07350> off shall die <04191> of the pestilence <01698>; and he that is near <07138> shall fall <05307> by the sword <02719>; and he that remaineth < 07604> and is besieged <05341> shall die <04191> by the famine <07458>: thus will I accomplish <03615> my fury < 02534> upon them.

13 Then shall ye know <03045> that I [am] the LORD < 03068>, when their slain <02491> [men] shall be among < 08432> their idols <01544> round <05439> about their altars <04196>, upon every <03605> high <07311> hill < 01389>, in all <03605> the tops <07218> of the mountains <02022>, and under <08478> every <03605> green < 07488> tree <06086>, and under <08478> every <03605> thick <05687> oak <0424>, the place <04725> where they did offer <05414> sweet <05207> savour <07381> to all <03605> their idols <01544>.

14 So will I stretch <05186> out my hand <03027> upon them, and make <05414> the land <0776> desolate < 08077>, yea, more desolate <08047> than the wilderness < 04057> toward Diblath <01689>, in all <03605> their habitations <04186>: and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

Ezekiel 7

1. Moreover the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Also, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, thus < 03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> unto the land <0127> of Israel <03478>; An end <07093>, the end <07093> is come <0935> upon the four <0702> corners <03671> of the land <0776>.

3 Now <06258> [is] the end <07093> [come] upon thee, and I will send <07971> mine anger <0639> upon thee, and will judge <08199> thee according to thy ways <01870>, and will recompense <05414> upon thee all <03605> thine abominations <08441>.

4 And mine eye <05869> shall not spare <02347> thee, neither <03808> will I have pity <02550>: but I will recompense <05414> thy ways <01870> upon thee, and thine abominations <08441> shall be in the midst <08432> of thee: and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

5 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; An evil <07451>, an only <0259> evil < 07451>, behold <02009>, is come <0935>.

6 An end <07093> is come <0935>, the end < 07093> is come <0935>: it watcheth <06974> for thee; behold <02009>, it is come <0935>.

7 The morning <06843> is come <0935> unto thee, O thou that dwellest <03427> in the land <0776>: the time < 06256> is come <0935>, the day <03117> of trouble < 04103> [is] near <07138>, and not the sounding <01906> again <01906> of the mountains <02022>.

8 Now <06258> will I shortly <07138> pour < 08210> out my fury <02534> upon thee, and accomplish <03615> mine anger <0639> upon thee: and I will judge <08199> thee according to thy ways <01870>, and will recompense <05414> thee for all <03605> thine abominations <08441>.

9 And mine eye <05869> shall not spare <02347>, neither <03808> will I have pity <02550>: I will recompense <05414> thee according to thy ways <01870> and thine abominations <08441> [that] are in the midst <08432> of thee; and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068> that smiteth <05221>.

10 Behold <02009> the day <03117>, behold < 02009>, it is come <0935>: the morning <06843> is gone < 03318> forth <03318>; the rod <04294> hath blossomed < 06692>, pride <02087> hath budded <06524>.

11 Violence <02555> is risen <06965> up into a rod <04294> of wickedness <07562>: none <03808> of them [shall remain], nor <03808> of their multitude <01995>, nor <03808> of any <01991> of theirs <01992>: neither < 03808> [shall there be] wailing <05089> for them.

12 The time <06256> is come <0935>, the day < 03117> draweth near <05060>: let not the buyer <07069> rejoice <08055>, nor <0408> the seller <04376> mourn < 056>: for wrath <02740> [is] upon all <03605> the multitude <01995> thereof.

13 For the seller <04376> shall not return <07725> to that which is sold <04465>, although they were yet <05750> alive <02416>: for the vision <02377> [is] touching < 0413> the whole <03605> multitude <01995> thereof, [which] shall not return <07725>; neither <03808> shall any < 0376> strengthen <02388> himself in the iniquity <05771> of his life <02416>.

14 They have blown <08628> the trumpet <08628>, even to make all <03605> ready <03559>; but none <0369> goeth <01980> to the battle <04421>: for my wrath <02740> [is] upon all <03605> the multitude <01995> thereof.

15 The sword <02719> [is] without <02351>, and the pestilence <01698> and the famine <07458> within <01004>: he that [is] in the field <07704> shall die <04191> with the sword <02719>; and he that [is] in the city <05892>, famine <07458> and pestilence <01698> shall devour <0398> him.

16. But they that escape <06403> of them shall escape < 06412>, and shall be on <0413> the mountains <02022> like doves <03123> of the valleys <01516>, all <03605> of them mourning <01993>, every <0376> one <0376> for his iniquity <05771>.

17 All <03605> hands <03027> shall be feeble < 07503>, and all <03605> knees <01290> shall be weak < 03212> [as] water <04325>.

18 They shall also gird <02296> [themselves] with sackcloth <08242>, and horror <06427> shall cover <03680> them; and shame <0955> [shall be] upon all <03605> faces < 06440>, and baldness <07144> upon all <03605> their heads <07218>.

19 They shall cast <07993> their silver <03701> in the streets <02351>, and their gold <02091> shall be removed <05079>: their silver <03701> and their gold <02091> shall not be able <03201> to deliver <05337> them in the day <03117> of the wrath <05678> of the LORD <03068>: they shall not satisfy <07646> their souls <05315>, neither < 03808> fill <04390> their bowels <04578>: because < 03588> it is the stumblingblock <04383> of their iniquity < 05771>.

20 As for the beauty <06643> of his ornament <05716> , he set <07760> it in majesty <01347>: but they made < 06213> the images <06754> of their abominations <08441> [and] of their detestable <08251> things therein: therefore have I set <05414> it far <05079> from them.

21 And I will give <05414> it into the hands <03027> of the strangers <02114> for a prey <0957>, and to the wicked <07563> of the earth <0776> for a spoil <07998>; and they shall pollute <02490> it.

22 My face <06440> will I turn <05437> also from them, and they shall pollute <02490> my secret <06845> [place]: for the robbers <06530> shall enter <0935> into it, and defile <02490> it.

23. Make <06213> a chain <07659>: for the land < 0776> is full <04390> of bloody <01818> crimes <04941> , and the city <05892> is full <04390> of violence < 02555>.

24 Wherefore I will bring <0935> the worst <07451> of the heathen <01471>, and they shall possess <03423> their houses <01004>: I will also make the pomp <01347> of the strong <05794> to cease <07673>; and their holy <06942> places shall be defiled <02490>.

25 Destruction <07089> cometh <0935>; and they shall seek <01245> peace <07965>, and [there shall be] none <0369>.

26 Mischief <01943> shall come <0935> upon mischief <01943>, and rumour <08052> shall be upon rumour <08052>; then shall they seek <01245> a vision <02377> of the prophet <05030>; but the law <08451> shall perish <06> from the priest <03548>, and counsel <06098> from the ancients < 02204>.

27 The king <04428> shall mourn <056>, and the prince <05387> shall be clothed <03847> with desolation < 08077>, and the hands <03027> of the people <05971> of the land <0776> shall be troubled <0926>: I will do <06213> unto them after their way <01870>, and according to their deserts <04941> will I judge <08199> them; and they shall know < 03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

Ezekiel 8

1. And it came <01961> to pass in the sixth <08345> year <08141>, in the sixth <08345> [month], in the fifth < 02568> [day] of the month <02320>, [as] I sat <03427> in mine house <01004>, and the elders <02205> of Judah < 03063> sat <03427> before <06440> me, that the hand < 03027> of the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> fell <05307> there <08033> upon me.

2 Then I beheld <07200>, and lo <02009> a likeness <01823> as the appearance <04758> of fire <0784>: from the appearance <04758> of his loins <04975> even downward < 04295>, fire <0784>; and from his loins <04975> even upward <04605>, as the appearance <04758> of brightness <02096>, as the colour <05869> of amber <02830>.

3 And he put <07971> forth <07971> the form < 08403> of an hand <03027>, and took <03947> me by a lock <06734> of mine head <07218>; and the spirit <07307> lifted <05375> me up between <0996> the earth <0776> and the heaven <08064>, and brought <0935> me in the visions < 04759> of God <0430> to Jerusalem <03389>, to the door < 06607> of the inner <06442> gate <08179> that looketh < 06437> toward the north <06828>; where [was] the seat < 04186> of the image <05566> of jealousy <07069>, which provoketh to jealousy <07069>.

4 And, behold <02009>, the glory <03519> of the God <0430> of Israel <03478> [was] there <08033>, according to the vision <04758> that I saw <07200> in the plain < 01237>.

5 Then said <0559> he unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, lift <05375> up thine eyes <05869> now < 04994> the way <01870> toward the north <06828>. So I lifted <05375> up mine eyes <05869> the way <01870> toward the north <06828>, and behold <02009> northward < 06828> at the gate <08179> of the altar <04196> this < 02088> image <05566> of jealousy <07068> in the entry < 0872>.

6 He said <0559> furthermore unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, seest <07200> thou what <04100> they do <06213>? [even] the great <01419> abominations <08441> that the house <01004> of Israel <03478> committeth < 06213> here <06311>, that I should go <07368> far < 07368> off from my sanctuary <04720>? but turn <07725> thee yet <05750> again <05750>, [and] thou shalt see <07200> greater <01419> abominations <08441>.

7. And he brought <0935> me to the door <06607> of the court <02691>; and when I looked <07200>, behold < 02009> a hole <02356> in the wall <07023>.

8 Then said <0559> he unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, dig <02864> now <04994> in the wall <07023> : and when I had digged <02864> in the wall <07023>, behold <02009> a door <06607>.

9 And he said <0559> unto me, Go <0935> in, and behold <07200> the wicked <07451> abominations <08441> that they do <06213> here <06311>.

10 So I went <0935> in and saw <07200>; and behold <02009> every <03605> form <08403> of creeping < 07431> things, and abominable <08263> beasts <0929>, and all <03605> the idols <01544> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, pourtrayed <02707> upon the wall <07023> round <05439> about.

11 And there stood <05975> before <06440> them seventy <07657> men <0376> of the ancients <02204> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, and in the midst < 08432> of them stood <05975> Jaazaniah <02970> the son < 01121> of Shaphan <08227>, with every man <0376> his censer <04730> in his hand <03027>; and a thick <06282> cloud <06051> of incense <07004> went <05927> up.

12 Then said <0559> he unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, hast thou seen <07200> what <0834> the ancients <02204> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478> do < 06213> in the dark <02822>, every man <0376> in the chambers <02315> of his imagery <04906>? for they say < 0559>, The LORD <03068> seeth <07200> us not; the LORD < 03068> hath forsaken <05800> the earth <0776>.

13. He said <0559> also unto me, Turn <07725> thee yet <05750> again <05750>, [and] thou shalt see <07200> greater <01419> abominations <08441> that they do <06213> .

14 Then he brought <0935> me to the door <06607> of the gate <08179> of the LORD'S <03068> house <01004> which <0834> [was] toward <05921> the north <06828>; and, behold <02009>, there <08033> sat <03427> women < 0802> weeping <01058> for Tammuz <08542>.

15 Then said <0559> he unto me, Hast thou seen < 07200> [this], O son <01121> of man <0120>? turn < 07725> thee yet <05750> again <05750>, [and] thou shalt see <07200> greater <01419> abominations <08441> than these <0428>.

16 And he brought <0935> me into <0413> the inner <06442> court <02691> of the LORD'S <03068> house < 01004>, and, behold <02009>, at the door <06607> of the temple <01964> of the LORD <03068>, between <0996> the porch <0197> and the altar <04196>, [were] about five < 02568> and twenty <06242> men <0376>, with their backs < 0268> toward <0413> the temple <01964> of the LORD < 03068>, and their faces <06440> toward the east <06924>; and they worshipped <07812> the sun <08121> toward the east <06924>.

17 Then he said <0559> unto me, Hast thou seen < 07200> [this], O son <01121> of man <0120>? Is it a light <07043> thing to the house <01004> of Judah <03063> that they commit <06213> the abominations <08441> which <0834> they commit <06213> here <06311>? for they have filled < 04390> the land <0776> with violence <02555>, and have returned <07725> to provoke me to anger <03707>: and, lo < 02009>, they put <07971> the branch <02156> to their nose <0639>.

18 Therefore will I also <01571> deal <06213> in fury <02534>: mine eye <05869> shall not spare <02347>, neither <03808> will I have pity <02550>: and though they cry <07121> in mine ears <0241> with a loud <01419> voice <06963>, [yet] will I not hear <08085> them.

Ezekiel 9

1. He cried <07121> also in mine ears <0241> with a loud <01419> voice <06963>, saying <0559>, Cause them that have charge <06486> over the city <05892> to draw near <07126>, even every man <0376> [with] his destroying < 04892> weapon <03627> in his hand <03027>.

2 And, behold <02009>, six <08337> men <0582> came <0935> from the way <01870> of the higher <05945> gate <08179>, which <0834> lieth toward the north <06828> , and every man <0376> a slaughter <04660> weapon <03627> in his hand <03027>; and one <0259> man <0376> among <08432> them [was] clothed <03847> with linen <0906>, with a writer's <05608> inkhorn <07083> by his side < 04975>: and they went <0935> in, and stood <05975> beside <0681> the brasen <05178> altar <04196>.

3 And the glory <03519> of the God <0430> of Israel <03478> was gone <05927> up from the cherub <03742>, whereupon he was, to the threshold <04670> of the house <01004> . And he called <07121> to the man <0376> clothed <03847> with linen <0906>, which <0834> [had] the writer's < 05608> inkhorn <07083> by his side <04975>;

4 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto him, Go < 05674> through <05674> the midst <08432> of the city < 05892>, through the midst <08432> of Jerusalem <03389>, and set <08427> a mark <08420> upon the foreheads <04696> of the men <0582> that sigh <0584> and that cry <0602> for all <03605> the abominations <08441> that be done <06213> in the midst <08432> thereof.

5. And to the others <0428> he said <0559> in mine hearing <0241>, Go <05674> ye after <0310> him through the city <05892>, and smite <05221>: let not your eye < 05869> spare <02347>, neither <0408> have ye pity < 02550>:

6 Slay <02026> utterly old <02205> [and] young < 0970>, both maids <01330>, and little <02945> children < 02945>, and women <0802>: but come <05066> not near < 05066> any <03605> man <0376> upon whom <0834> [is] the mark <08420>; and begin <02490> at my sanctuary < 04720>. Then they began <02490> at the ancient <02204> men <0582> which <0834> [were] before <06440> the house < 01004>.

7 And he said <0559> unto them, Defile <02930> the house <01004>, and fill <04390> the courts <02691> with the slain <02491>: go <03318> ye forth <03318>. And they went <03318> forth <03318>, and slew <05221> in the city <05892>.

8 And it came <01961> to pass, while they were slaying <05221> them, and I was left <07604>, that I fell <05307> upon my face <06440>, and cried <02199>, and said <0559> , Ah <0162> Lord <0136> GOD <03069>! wilt thou destroy <07843> all <03605> the residue <07611> of Israel < 03478> in thy pouring <08210> out of thy fury <02534> upon Jerusalem <03389>?

9 Then said <0559> he unto me, The iniquity <05771> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478> and Judah <03063> [is] exceeding <03966> great <01419>, and the land <0776> is full <04390> of blood <01818>, and the city <05892> full <04390> of perverseness <04297>: for they say <0559> , The LORD <03068> hath forsaken <05800> the earth <0776> , and the LORD <03068> seeth <07200> not.

10 And as for me also <01571>, mine eye <05869> shall not spare <02347>, neither <03808> will I have pity < 02550>, [but] I will recompense <05414> their way <01870> upon their head <07218>.

11 And, behold <02009>, the man <0376> clothed < 03847> with linen <0906>, which <0834> [had] the inkhorn <07083> by his side <04975>, reported <07725> the matter <01697>, saying <0559>, I have done <06213> as thou hast commanded <06680> me.

Ezekiel 10

1. Then I looked <07200>, and, behold <02009>, in the firmament <07549> that was above <05921> the head < 07218> of the cherubims <03742> there appeared <07200> over <05921> them as it were a sapphire <05601> stone <068>, as the appearance <04758> of the likeness <01823> of a throne <03678>.

2 And he spake <0559> unto the man <0376> clothed <03847> with linen <0906>, and said <0559>, Go < 0935> in between <0996> the wheels <01534>, [even] under the cherub <03742>, and fill <04390> thine hand <02651> with coals <01513> of fire <0784> from between <0996> the cherubims <03742>, and scatter <02236> [them] over < 05921> the city <05892>. And he went <0935> in in my sight <05869>.

3 Now the cherubims <03742> stood <05975> on < 05921> the right <03225> side <03225> of the house < 01004>, when the man <0376> went <0935> in; and the cloud <06051> filled <04390> the inner <06442> court < 02691>.

4 Then the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> went <07311> up from the cherub <03742>, [and stood] over < 05921> the threshold <04670> of the house <01004>; and the house <01004> was filled <04390> with the cloud <06051>, and the court <02691> was full <04390> of the brightness < 05051> of the LORD'S <03068> glory <03519>.

5 And the sound <06963> of the cherubims <03742>' wings <03671> was heard <08085> [even] to the outer < 02435> court <02691>, as the voice <06963> of the Almighty <07706> God <0410> when he speaketh <01696>.

6 And it came <01961> to pass, [that] when he had commanded <06680> the man <0376> clothed <03847> with linen <0906>, saying <0559>, Take <03947> fire < 0784> from between <0996> the wheels <01534>, from between <0996> the cherubims <03742>; then he went <0935> in, and stood <05975> beside <0681> the wheels <0212>.

7 And [one] cherub <03742> stretched <07971> forth his hand <03027> from between <0996> the cherubims < 03742> unto the fire <0784> that [was] between <0996> the cherubims <03742>, and took <05375> [thereof], and put < 05414> [it] into <0413> the hands <02651> of [him that was] clothed <03847> with linen <0906>: who took <03947> [it], and went <03318> out.

8. And there appeared <07200> in the cherubims < 03742> the form <08403> of a man's <0120> hand <03027> under <08478> their wings <03671>.

9 And when I looked <07200>, behold <02009> the four <0702> wheels <0212> by the cherubims <03742>, one <0259> wheel <0212> by one <0259> cherub <03742>, and another <0259> wheel <0212> by another <0259> cherub <03742>: and the appearance <04758> of the wheels <0212> [was] as the colour <05869> of a beryl <08658> stone < 068>.

10 And [as for] their appearances <04758>, they four < 0702> had <01961> one <0259> likeness <01823>, as if <0834> a wheel <0212> had been <01961> in the midst < 08432> of a wheel <0212>.

11 When they went <03212>, they went <03212> upon their four <0702> sides <07253>; they turned <05437> not as they went <03212>, but to the place <04725> whither < 0834> the head <07218> looked <06437> they followed it; they turned <05437> not as they went <03212>.

12 And their whole <03605> body <01320>, and their backs <01354>, and their hands <03027>, and their wings < 03671>, and the wheels <0212>, [were] full <04392> of eyes <05869> round <05439> about, [even] the wheels <0212> that they four <0702> had.

13 As for the wheels <0212>, it was cried <07121> unto them in my hearing <0241>, O wheel <01534>.

14 And every one <0259> had four <0702> faces < 06440>: the first <0259> face <06440> [was] the face < 06440> of a cherub <03742>, and the second <08145> face < 06440> [was] the face <06440> of a man <0120>, and the third <07992> the face <06440> of a lion <0738>, and the fourth <07243> the face <06440> of an eagle <05404>.

15 And the cherubims <03742> were lifted <07426> up. This <01931> [is] the living <02416> creature <02416> that I saw <07200> by the river <05104> of Chebar <03529> .

16 And when the cherubims <03742> went <03212>, the wheels <0212> went <03212> by them: and when the cherubims < 03742> lifted <05375> up their wings <03671> to mount < 07311> up from the earth <0776>, the same <01992> wheels <0212> also <01571> turned <05437> not from beside < 0681> them.

17 When they stood <05975>, [these] stood <05975>; and when they were lifted <07311> up, [these] lifted <07426> up themselves [also]: for the spirit <07307> of the living < 02416> creature <02416> [was] in them.

18 Then the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> departed <03318> from off <05921> the threshold <04670> of the house <01004>, and stood <05975> over <05921> the cherubims <03742>.

19 And the cherubims <03742> lifted <05375> up their wings <03671>, and mounted <07426> up from the earth < 0776> in my sight <05869>: when they went <03318> out, the wheels <0212> also [were] beside <05980> them, and [every one] stood <05975> at the door <06607> of the east <06931> gate <08179> of the LORD'S <03068> house <01004>; and the glory <03519> of the God <0430> of Israel <03478> [was] over <05921> them above <04605>.

20 This <01931> [is] the living <02416> creature <02416> that I saw <07200> under <08478> the God < 0430> of Israel <03478> by the river <05104> of Chebar < 03529>; and I knew <03045> that they [were] the cherubims < 03742>.

21 Every one <0259> had four <0702> faces < 06440> apiece <0259>, and every one <0259> four <0702> wings <03671>; and the likeness <01823> of the hands < 03027> of a man <0120> [was] under <08478> their wings < 03671>.

22 And the likeness <01823> of their faces <06440> [was] the same <01992> faces <06440> which <0834> I saw <07200> by the river <05104> of Chebar <03529>, their appearances <04758> and themselves <06440>: they went < 03212> every <0376> one <0376> straight <05676> forward <06440>.

Ezekiel 11

1. Moreover the spirit <07307> lifted <05375> me up, and brought <0935> me unto the east <06931> gate <08179> of the LORD'S <03068> house <01004>, which looketh < 06437> eastward <06921>: and behold <02009> at the door < 06607> of the gate <08179> five <02568> and twenty < 06242> men <0376>; among <08432> whom I saw <07200> Jaazaniah <02970> the son <01121> of Azur <05809>, and Pelatiah <06410> the son <01121> of Benaiah <01141>, princes <08269> of the people <05971>.

2 Then said <0559> he unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, these <0428> [are] the men <0582> that devise <02803> mischief <0205>, and give wicked <07451> counsel <06098> in this <02063> city <05892>:

3 Which say <0559>, [It is] not near <07138>; let us build <01129> houses <01004>: this <01931> [city is] the caldron <05518>, and we [be] the flesh <01320>.

4 Therefore <03651> prophesy <05012> against < 05921> them, prophesy <05012>, O son <01121> of man < 0120>.

5 And the Spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068> fell <05307> upon me, and said <0559> unto me, Speak <0559>; Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>; Thus < 03651> have ye said <0559>, O house <01004> of Israel < 03478>: for I know <03045> the things that come <04609> into your mind <07307>, [every one of] them.

6 Ye have multiplied <07235> your slain <02491> in this <02063> city <05892>, and ye have filled <04390> the streets <02351> thereof with the slain <02491>.

7 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Your slain <02491> whom < 0834> ye have laid <07760> in the midst <08432> of it, they [are] the flesh <01320>, and this <01931> [city is] the caldron <05518>: but I will bring <03318> you forth < 03318> out of the midst <08432> of it.

8 Ye have feared <03372> the sword <02719>; and I will bring <0935> a sword <02719> upon you, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

9 And I will bring <03318> you out of the midst < 08432> thereof, and deliver <05414> you into the hands < 03027> of strangers <02114>, and will execute <06213> judgments <08201> among you.

10 Ye shall fall <05307> by the sword <02719>; I will judge <08199> you in the border <01366> of Israel < 03478>; and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD < 03068>.

11 This <01931> [city] shall not be your caldron < 05518>, neither shall ye be the flesh <01320> in the midst < 08432> thereof; [but] I will judge <08199> you in the border < 01366> of Israel <03478>:

12 And ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD < 03068>: for ye have not walked <01980> in my statutes < 02706>, neither <03808> executed <06213> my judgments < 04941>, but have done <06213> after the manners <04941> of the heathen <01471> that [are] round <05439> about you.

13 And it came <01961> to pass, when I prophesied < 05012>, that Pelatiah <06410> the son <01121> of Benaiah <01141> died <04191>. Then fell <05307> I down upon my face <06440>, and cried <02199> with a loud <01419> voice <06963>, and said <0559>, Ah <0162> Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>! wilt thou make <06213> a full end < 03615> of the remnant <07611> of Israel <03478>?

14. Again the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

15 Son <01121> of man <0120>, thy brethren < 0251>, [even] thy brethren <0251>, the men <0582> of thy kindred <01353>, and all <03605> the house <01004> of Israel <03478> wholly <03605>, [are] they unto whom < 0834> the inhabitants <03427> of Jerusalem <03389> have said <0559>, Get you far <07368> from the LORD <03068>: unto us is this <01931> land <0776> given <05414> in possession <04181>.

16 Therefore <03651> say <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Although < 03588> I have cast <07368> them far <07368> off among the heathen <01471>, and although <0272> I have scattered < 06327> them among the countries <0776>, yet will I be to them as a little <04592> sanctuary <04720> in the countries < 0776> where they shall come <0935>.

17 Therefore <03651> say <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I will even gather <06908> you from the people <05971>, and assemble < 0622> you out of the countries <0776> where <0834> ye have been scattered <06327>, and I will give <05414> you the land <0127> of Israel <03478>.

18 And they shall come <0935> thither <08033>, and they shall take <05493> away <05493> all <03605> the detestable <08251> things thereof and all <03605> the abominations <08441> thereof from thence.

19 And I will give <05414> them one <0259> heart <03820>, and I will put <05414> a new <02319> spirit < 07307> within <07130> you; and I will take <05493> the stony <068> heart <03820> out of their flesh <01320>, and will give <05414> them an heart <03820> of flesh < 01320>:

20 That they may walk <03212> in my statutes <02708> , and keep <08104> mine ordinances <04941>, and do < 06213> them: and they shall be my people <05971>, and I will be their God <0430>.

21 But [as for them] whose heart <03820> walketh < 01980> after the heart <03820> of their detestable <08251> things and their abominations <08441>, I will recompense < 05414> their way <01870> upon their own heads <07218>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

22. Then did the cherubims <03742> lift <05375> up their wings <03671>, and the wheels <0212> beside <05980> them; and the glory <03519> of the God <0430> of Israel < 03478> [was] over <05921> them above <04605>.

23 And the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> went <05927> up from the midst <08432> of the city <05892>, and stood <05975> upon the mountain <02022> which <0834> [is] on the east <06924> side <06954> of the city <05892> .

24 Afterwards the spirit <07307> took <05375> me up, and brought <0935> me in a vision <04758> by the Spirit < 07307> of God <0430> into Chaldea <03778>, to them of the captivity <01473>. So the vision <04758> that I had seen < 07200> went <05927> up from me.

25 Then I spake <01696> unto them of the captivity < 01473> all <03605> the things <01697> that the LORD < 03068> had shewed <07200> me.

Ezekiel 12

1. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> also came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, thou dwellest < 03427> in the midst <08432> of a rebellious <04805> house <01004>, which <0834> have eyes <05869> to see < 07200>, and see <07200> not; they have ears <0241> to hear <08085>, and hear <08085> not: for they [are] a rebellious < 04805> house <01004>.

3 Therefore, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, prepare <06213> thee stuff <03627> for removing <01473>, and remove <01540> by day <03119> in their sight <05869>; and thou shalt remove <01540> from thy place <04725> to another <0312> place <04725> in their sight <05869>: it may be they will consider <07200>, though <03518> they [be] a rebellious <04805> house <01004>.

4 Then shalt thou bring <03318> forth <03318> thy stuff <03627> by day <03119> in their sight <05869>, as stuff <03627> for removing <01473>: and thou shalt go < 03318> forth <03318> at even <06153> in their sight < 05869>, as they that go <04161> forth <04161> into captivity <01473>.

5 Dig <02864> thou through the wall <07023> in their sight <05869>, and carry <03318> out thereby.

6 In their sight <05869> shalt thou bear <05375> [it] upon [thy] shoulders <03802>, [and] carry <03318> [it] forth <03318> in the twilight <05939>: thou shalt cover < 03680> thy face <06440>, that thou see <07200> not the ground <0776>: for I have set <05414> thee [for] a sign < 04159> unto the house <01004> of Israel <03478>.

7 And I did <06213> so <03651> as I was commanded <06680>: I brought <03318> forth <03318> my stuff < 03627> by day <03119>, as stuff <03627> for captivity < 01473>, and in the even <06153> I digged <02864> through the wall <07023> with mine hand <03027>; I brought < 03318> [it] forth <03318> in the twilight <05939>, [and] I bare <05375> [it] upon [my] shoulder <03802> in their sight <05869>.

8 And in the morning <01242> came <01961> the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> unto me, saying <0559>,

9 Son <01121> of man <0120>, hath not the house < 01004> of Israel <03478>, the rebellious <04805> house < 01004>, said <0559> unto thee, What <04100> doest < 06213> thou?

10 Say <0559> thou unto them, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; This <02088> burden <04853> [concerneth] the prince <05387> in Jerusalem <03389>, and all <03605> the house <01004> of Israel < 03478> that [are] among <08432> them.

11 Say <0559>, I [am] your sign <04159>: like as I have done <06213>, so <03651> shall it be done <06213> unto them: they shall remove <05493> [and] go <03212> into captivity <07628>.

12 And the prince <05387> that [is] among <08432> them shall bear <05375> upon [his] shoulder <03802> in the twilight <05939>, and shall go <03318> forth <03318>: they shall dig <02864> through the wall <07023> to carry < 03318> out thereby: he shall cover <03680> his face <06440>, that he see <07200> not the ground <0776> with [his] eyes < 05869>.

13 My net <07568> also will I spread <06566> upon him, and he shall be taken <08610> in my snare <04686>: and I will bring <0935> him to Babylon <0894> [to] the land < 0776> of the Chaldeans <03779>; yet shall he not see <07200> it, though he shall die <04191> there <08033>.

14 And I will scatter <02219> toward every <03605> wind <07307> all <03605> that [are] about <05439> him to help <05828> him, and all <03605> his bands <0102>; and I will draw <07324> out the sword <02719> after <0310> them.

15 And they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD < 03068>, when I shall scatter <06327> them among the nations < 01471>, and disperse <02219> them in the countries <0776>.

16 But I will leave <03498> a few <04557> men < 0582> of them from the sword <02719>, from the famine < 07458>, and from the pestilence <01698>; that they may declare <05608> all <03605> their abominations <08441> among the heathen <01471> whither they come <0935>; and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

17. Moreover the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> to me, saying <0559>,

18 Son <01121> of man <0120>, eat <0398> thy bread <03899> with quaking <07494>, and drink <08354> thy water <04325> with trembling <07269> and with carefulness <01674>;

19 And say <0559> unto the people <05971> of the land <0127>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069> of the inhabitants <03427> of Jerusalem <03389>, [and] of the land <0776> of Israel <03478>; They shall eat <0398> their bread <03899> with carefulness < 01674>, and drink <08354> their water <04325> with astonishment <08078>, that her land <0776> may be desolate < 03456> from all <04393> that is therein <04393>, because of the violence <02555> of all <03605> them that dwell < 03427> therein.

20 And the cities <05892> that are inhabited <03427> shall be laid waste <02717>, and the land <0776> shall be desolate <08077>; and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

21. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

22 Son <01121> of man <0120>, what <04100> [is] that proverb <04912> [that] ye have in the land <0127> of Israel <03478>, saying <0559>, The days <03117> are prolonged <0748>, and every <03605> vision <02377> faileth <06>?

23 Tell <0559> them therefore <03651>, Thus < 03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I will make this <02088> proverb <04912> to cease <07673>, and they shall no <03808> more <05750> use <04912> it as a proverb <04911> in Israel <03478>; but say <01696> unto them, The days <03117> are at <07196> hand <07126>, and the effect <01697> of every <03605> vision <02377>.

24 For there shall be no <03808> more <05750> any vain <07723> vision <02377> nor flattering <02509> divination <04738> within <08432> the house <01004> of Israel <03478>.

25 For I [am] the LORD <03068>: I will speak <01696> , and the word <01697> that I shall speak <01696> shall come <06213> to pass <06213>; it shall be no <03808> more < 05750> prolonged <04900>: for in your days <03117>, O rebellious <04805> house <01004>, will I say <01696> the word <01697>, and will perform <06213> it, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

26 Again the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> to me, saying <0559>,

27 Son <01121> of man <0120>, behold <02009>, [they of] the house <01004> of Israel <03478> say <0559>, The vision <02377> that he seeth <02372> [is] for many < 07227> days <03117> [to come], and he prophesieth <05012> of the times <06256> [that are] far <07350> off.

28 Therefore <03651> say <0559> unto them, Thus < 03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; There shall none <03808> of my words <01697> be prolonged < 04900> any <03605> more <05750>, but the word <01697> which <0834> I have spoken <01696> shall be done <06213>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 13

1. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came < 01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, prophesy <05012> against <0413> the prophets <05030> of Israel <03478> that prophesy <05012>, and say <0559> thou unto them that prophesy <05012> out of their own hearts <03820>, Hear < 08085> ye the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>;

3 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Woe <01945> unto the foolish <05036> prophets <05030>, that follow their own spirit <07307>, and have seen <07200> nothing <01115>!

4 O Israel <03478>, thy prophets <05030> are like the foxes <07776> in the deserts <02723>.

5 Ye have not gone <05927> up into the gaps <06556>, neither made <01443> up the hedge <01447> for the house < 01004> of Israel <03478> to stand <05975> in the battle < 04421> in the day <03117> of the LORD <03068>.

6 They have seen <02372> vanity <07723> and lying <03577> divination <07081>, saying <0559>, The LORD < 03068> saith <05002>: and the LORD <03068> hath not sent <07971> them: and they have made [others] to hope <03176> that they would confirm <06965> the word <01697>.

7 Have ye not seen <02372> a vain <07723> vision <04236>, and have ye not spoken <01696> a lying <03577> divination <04738>, whereas ye say <0559>, The LORD < 03068> saith <05002> [it]; albeit I have not spoken <0559>?

8 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Because <03282> ye have spoken <01696> vanity <07723>, and seen <02372> lies < 03576>, therefore <03651>, behold <02005>, I [am] against <0413> you, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD < 03069>.

9 And mine hand <03027> shall be upon the prophets < 05030> that see <02374> vanity <07723>, and that divine < 07080> lies <03576>: they shall not be in the assembly < 05475> of my people <05971>, neither <03808> shall they be written <03789> in the writing <03791> of the house < 01004> of Israel <03478>, neither <03808> shall they enter <0935> into the land <0127> of Israel <03478>; and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the Lord <0136> GOD < 03069>.

10. Because <03282>, even because <03282> they have seduced <02937> my people <05971>, saying <0559>, Peace <07965>; and [there was] no <0369> peace <07965>; and one built <01129> up a wall <02434>, and, lo <02009>, others daubed <02902> it with untempered <08602> [morter]:

11 Say <0559> unto them which daub <02902> [it] with untempered <08602> [morter], that it shall fall <05307>: there shall be an overflowing <07857> shower <01653>; and ye, O great <0417> hailstones, shall fall <05307>; and a stormy <05591> wind <07307> shall rend <01234> [it].

12 Lo <02009>, when the wall <07023> is fallen < 05307>, shall it not be said <0559> unto you, Where <0346> [is] the daubing <02915> wherewith <0834> ye have daubed < 02902> [it]?

13 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I will even rend <01234> [it] with a stormy <05591> wind <07307> in my fury < 02534>; and there shall be an overflowing <07857> shower < 01653> in mine anger <0639>, and great <0417> hailstones in [my] fury <02534> to consume <03615> [it].

14 So will I break <02040> down <02040> the wall <07023> that ye have daubed <02902> with untempered < 08602> [morter], and bring <05060> it down to the ground < 0776>, so that the foundation <03247> thereof shall be discovered <01540>, and it shall fall <05307>, and ye shall be consumed <03615> in the midst <08432> thereof: and ye shall know < 03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

15 Thus will I accomplish <03615> my wrath <02534> upon the wall <07023>, and upon them that have daubed <02902> it with untempered <08602> [morter], and will say <0559> unto you, The wall <07023> [is] no <0369> [more], neither < 0369> they that daubed <02902> it;

16 [To wit], the prophets <05030> of Israel <03478> which prophesy <05012> concerning <0413> Jerusalem < 03389>, and which see <02374> visions <02377> of peace < 07965> for her, and [there is] no <0369> peace <07965>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

17. Likewise, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, set <07760> thy face <06440> against <0413> the daughters <01121> of thy people <05971>, which prophesy <05012> out of their own heart <03820>; and prophesy <05012> thou against <05921> them,

18 And say <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Woe <01945> to the [women] that sew <08609> pillows <03704> to all <03605> armholes, and make <06213> kerchiefs <04556> upon the head <07218> of every <03605> stature <06967> to hunt <06679> souls <05315>! Will ye hunt <06679> the souls <05315> of my people <05971>, and will ye save <02421> the souls < 05315> alive <02421> [that come] unto you?

19 And will ye pollute <02490> me among <0413> my people <05971> for handfuls <08168> of barley <08184> and for pieces <06595> of bread <03899>, to slay <04191> the souls <05315> that should not die <04191>, and to save < 02421> the souls <05315> alive <02421> that should not live <02421>, by your lying <03576> to my people <05971> that hear <08085> [your] lies <03576>?

20 Wherefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I [am] against <0413> your pillows <03704>, wherewith <0834> ye there <08033> hunt <06679> the souls <05315> to make [them] fly <06524>, and I will tear <07167> them from your arms <02220>, and will let the souls <05315> go <07971>, [even] the souls <05315> that ye hunt <06679> to make [them] fly <06524>.

21 Your kerchiefs <04556> also will I tear <07167>, and deliver <05337> my people <05971> out of your hand < 03027>, and they shall be no <03808> more <05750> in your hand <03027> to be hunted <04686>; and ye shall know < 03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

22 Because <03282> with lies <03576> ye have made the heart <03820> of the righteous <06662> sad <03512>, whom I have not made sad <03510>; and strengthened <02388> the hands <03027> of the wicked <07451>, that he should not return <07725> from his wicked <07563> way <01870>, by promising <02421> him life <02421>:

23 Therefore <03651> ye shall see <02372> no < 03808> more <05750> vanity <07723>, nor <03808> divine <07181> divinations <07081>: for I will deliver < 05337> my people <05971> out of your hand <03027>: and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

Ezekiel 14

1. Then came <0935> certain <0582> of the elders < 02205> of Israel <03478> unto me, and sat <03427> before <06440> me.

2 And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came < 01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

3 Son <01121> of man <0120>, these <0428> men <0582> have set <05927> up their idols <01544> in their heart <03820>, and put <05414> the stumblingblock <04383> of their iniquity <05771> before <05227> their face < 06440>: should I be enquired <01875> of at all by them?

4 Therefore <03651> speak <01696> unto them, and say <0559> unto them, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Every man <0376> of the house < 01004> of Israel <03478> that setteth <05927> up his idols <01544> in his heart <03820>, and putteth <07760> the stumblingblock <04383> of his iniquity <05771> before < 05227> his face <06440>, and cometh <0935> to the prophet <05030>; I the LORD <03068> will answer <06030> him that cometh <0935> according to the multitude <07230> of his idols <01544>;

5 That I may take <08610> the house <01004> of Israel <03478> in their own heart <03820>, because <0834> they are all <03605> estranged <02114> from me through their idols <01544>.

6 Therefore <03651> say <0559> unto the house < 01004> of Israel <03478>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Repent <07725>, and turn <07725> [yourselves] from your idols <01544>; and turn < 07725> away your faces <06440> from all <03605> your abominations <08441>.

7 For every <0376> one <0376> of the house < 01004> of Israel <03478>, or of the stranger <01616> that sojourneth <01481> in Israel <03478>, which separateth < 05144> himself from me, and setteth <05927> up his idols < 01544> in his heart <03820>, and putteth <07760> the stumblingblock <04383> of his iniquity <05771> before < 05227> his face <06440>, and cometh <0935> to a prophet < 05030> to enquire <01875> of him concerning me; I the LORD < 03068> will answer <06030> him by myself:

8 And I will set <05414> my face <06440> against that man <0376>, and will make <08074> him a sign <0226> and a proverb <04912>, and I will cut <03772> him off from the midst <08432> of my people <05971>; and ye shall know < 03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

9 And if <03588> the prophet <05030> be deceived <06601> when <03588> he hath spoken <01696> a thing < 01697>, I the LORD <03068> have deceived <06601> that prophet <05030>, and I will stretch <05186> out my hand < 03027> upon him, and will destroy <08045> him from the midst < 08432> of my people <05971> Israel <03478>.

10 And they shall bear <05375> the punishment < 05771> of their iniquity <05771>: the punishment <05771> of the prophet <05030> shall be even as the punishment <05771> of him that seeketh <01875> [unto him];

11 That the house <01004> of Israel <03478> may go <08582> no <03808> more <05750> astray <08582> from me, neither <03808> be polluted <02930> any <03605> more <05750> with all <03605> their transgressions < 06588>; but that they may be my people <05971>, and I may be their God <0430>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD < 03069>.

12. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came < 01961> again to me, saying <0559>,

13 Son <01121> of man <0120>, when <03588> the land <0776> sinneth <02398> against me by trespassing < 04603> grievously <04604>, then will I stretch <05186> out mine hand <03027> upon it, and will break <07665> the staff <04294> of the bread <03899> thereof, and will send < 07971> famine <07458> upon it, and will cut <03772> off man <0120> and beast <0929> from it:

14 Though these <0428> three <07969> men < 0582>, Noah <05146>, Daniel <01840>, and Job <0347>, were in it, they should deliver <05337> [but] their own souls < 05315> by their righteousness <06666>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

15 If <03863> I cause noisome <07451> beasts < 02416> to pass <05674> through the land <0776>, and they spoil <07921> it, so that it be desolate <08077>, that no < 01097> man may pass <05674> through because <06440> of the beasts <02416>:

16 [Though] these <0428> three <07969> men < 0582> [were] in it, [as] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, they shall deliver <05337> neither <0518> sons <01121> nor <0508> daughters < 01121>; they only <0905> shall be delivered <05337>, but the land <0776> shall be desolate <08077>.

17 Or <0176> [if] I bring <0935> a sword < 02719> upon that land <0776>, and say <0559>, Sword < 02719>, go <05674> through the land <0776>; so that I cut <03772> off man <0120> and beast <0929> from it:

18 Though these <0428> three <07969> men < 0582> [were] in it, [as] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, they shall deliver <05337> neither <03808> sons <01121> nor daughters <01121>, but they only <0905> shall be delivered <05337> themselves.

19 Or <0176> [if] I send <07971> a pestilence < 01698> into <0413> that land <0776>, and pour <08210> out my fury <02534> upon it in blood <01818>, to cut < 03772> off from it man <0120> and beast <0929>:

20 Though Noah <05146>, Daniel <01840>, and Job < 0347>, [were] in it, [as] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, they shall deliver <05337> neither <0518> son <01121> nor <0518> daughter < 01323>; they shall [but] deliver <05337> their own souls < 05315> by their righteousness <06666>.

21 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>; How <0637> much <0637> more < 05750> when <03588> I send <07971> my four <0702> sore <07451> judgments <08201> upon Jerusalem <03389>, the sword <02719>, and the famine <07458>, and the noisome < 07451> beast <02416>, and the pestilence <01698>, to cut <03772> off from it man <0120> and beast <0929>?

22 Yet, behold <02009>, therein shall be left < 03498> a remnant <06413> that shall be brought <03318> forth <04163>, [both] sons <01121> and daughters <01121>: behold <02009>, they shall come <03318> forth <03318> unto you, and ye shall see <07200> their way <01870> and their doings <05949>: and ye shall be comforted <05162> concerning <05921> the evil <07451> that I have brought <0935> upon Jerusalem <03389>, [even] concerning <0854> all <03605> that I have brought <0935> upon it.

23 And they shall comfort <05162> you, when ye see < 07200> their ways <01870> and their doings <05949>: and ye shall know <03045> that I have not done <06213> without < 02600> cause <02600> all <03605> that I have done < 06213> in it, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD < 03069>.

Ezekiel 15

1. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came < 01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, What <04100> is the vine <01612> tree <06086> more than any tree <06086>, [or than] a branch <02156> which <0834> is among the trees <06086> of the forest <03293>?

3 Shall wood <06086> be taken <03947> thereof to do <06213> any work <04399>? or will [men] take <03947> a pin <03489> of it to hang <08518> any <03605> vessel < 03627> thereon <05921>?

4 Behold <02009>, it is cast <05414> into the fire <0784> for fuel <0402>; the fire <0784> devoureth < 0398> both <08147> the ends <07098> of it, and the midst <08432> of it is burned <02787>. Is it meet <06743> for [any] work <04399>?

5 Behold <02009>, when it was whole <08549>, it was meet <06213> for no <03808> work <04399>: how < 0637> much <07227> less shall it be meet <06213> yet for [any] work <04399>, when <03588> the fire <0784> hath devoured <0398> it, and it is burned <02787>?

6 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; As the vine <01612> tree <06086> among the trees <06086> of the forest <03293>, which <0834> I have given <05414> to the fire <0784> for fuel <0402>, so <03651> will I give <05414> the inhabitants <03427> of Jerusalem <03389>.

7 And I will set <05414> my face <06440> against them; they shall go <03318> out from [one] fire <0784>, and [another] fire <0784> shall devour <0398> them; and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>, when I set < 07760> my face <06440> against them.

8 And I will make <05414> the land <0776> desolate <08077>, because <03282> they have committed <04600> a trespass <04604>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD < 03069>.

Ezekiel 16

1. Again the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, cause Jerusalem < 03389> to know <03045> her abominations <08441>,

3 And say <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> unto Jerusalem <03389>; Thy birth <04351> and thy nativity <04138> [is] of the land < 0776> of Canaan <03667>; thy father <01> [was] an Amorite <0567>, and thy mother <0517> an Hittite <02850>.

4 And [as for] thy nativity <04138>, in the day < 03117> thou wast born <03205> thy navel <08270> was not cut <03772>, neither <03808> wast thou washed <07364> in water <04325> to supple <04935> [thee]; thou wast not salted <04414> at all, nor <03808> swaddled <02853> at all.

5 None <03808> eye <05869> pitied <02347> thee, to do <06213> any <0259> of these <0428> unto thee, to have compassion <02550> upon thee; but thou wast cast < 07993> out in the open <06440> field <07704>, to the lothing <01604> of thy person <05315>, in the day <03117> that thou wast born <03205>.

6. And when I passed <05674> by thee, and saw <07200> thee polluted <0947> in thine own blood <01818>, I said < 0559> unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood <01818>, Live < 02421>; yea, I said <0559> unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood <01818>, Live <02421>.

7 I have caused <05414> thee to multiply <07233> as the bud <06779> of the field <07704>, and thou hast increased <07235> and waxen great <01431>, and thou art come <0935> to excellent <05716> ornaments <05716>: [thy] breasts < 07699> are fashioned <03559>, and thine hair <08181> is grown <06779>, whereas thou [wast] naked <05903> and bare < 06181>.

8 Now when I passed <05674> by thee, and looked < 07200> upon thee, behold <02009>, thy time <06256> [was] the time <06256> of love <01730>; and I spread <06566> my skirt <03671> over <05921> thee, and covered <03680> thy nakedness <06172>: yea, I sware <07650> unto thee, and entered <0935> into a covenant <01285> with thee, saith < 05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, and thou becamest < 01961> mine.

9 Then washed <07364> I thee with water <04325>; yea, I throughly washed <07857> away thy blood <01818> from thee, and I anointed <05480> thee with oil <08081>.

10 I clothed <03847> thee also with broidered < 07553> work <07553>, and shod <05274> thee with badgers < 08476>' skin, and I girded <02280> thee about with fine linen < 08336>, and I covered <03680> thee with silk <04897>.

11 I decked <05710> thee also with ornaments <05716> , and I put <05414> bracelets <06781> upon thy hands < 03027>, and a chain <07242> on <05921> thy neck < 01627>.

12 And I put <05414> a jewel <05141> on < 05921> thy forehead <0639>, and earrings <05694> in thine ears <0241>, and a beautiful <08597> crown <05850> upon thine head <07218>.

13 Thus wast thou decked <05710> with gold <02091> and silver <03701>; and thy raiment <04403> [was of] fine linen <08336>, and silk <04897>, and broidered <07553> work <07553>; thou didst eat <0398> fine flour <05560>, and honey <01706>, and oil <08081>: and thou wast exceeding <03966> beautiful <03303>, and thou didst prosper <06743> into a kingdom <04410>.

14 And thy renown <08034> went <03318> forth < 03318> among the heathen <01471> for thy beauty <03308>: for it [was] perfect <03632> through my comeliness <01926>, which <0834> I had put <07760> upon thee, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

15. But thou didst trust <0982> in thine own beauty < 03308>, and playedst the harlot <02181> because <05921> of thy renown <08034>, and pouredst <08210> out thy fornications <08457> on every <03605> one that passed <05674> by; his it was.

16 And of thy garments <0899> thou didst take < 03947>, and deckedst <06213> thy high <01116> places with divers <02921> colours <02921>, and playedst the harlot < 02181> thereupon: [the like things] shall not come <0935>, neither <03808> shall it be [so].

17 Thou hast also taken <03947> thy fair <08597> jewels <03627> of my gold <02091> and of my silver < 03701>, which <0834> I had given <05414> thee, and madest <06213> to thyself images <06754> of men <02145>, and didst commit <02181> whoredom <02181> with them,

18 And tookest <03947> thy broidered <07553> garments <0899>, and coveredst them: and thou hast set <05414> mine oil <08081> and mine incense <07004> before <06440> them.

19 My meat <03899> also which <0834> I gave < 05414> thee, fine flour <05560>, and oil <08081>, and honey <01706>, [wherewith] I fed <0398> thee, thou hast even set < 05414> it before <06440> them for a sweet <05207> savour <07381>: and [thus] it was, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

20 Moreover thou hast taken <03947> thy sons <01121> and thy daughters <01121>, whom <0834> thou hast borne < 03205> unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed <02076> unto them to be devoured <0398>. [Is this] of thy whoredoms <08457> a small <04592> matter,

21 That thou hast slain <07819> my children <01121>, and delivered <05414> them to cause them to pass <05674> through [the fire] for them?

22 And in all <03605> thine abominations <08441> and thy whoredoms <08457> thou hast not remembered <02142> the days <03117> of thy youth <05271>, when thou wast <01961> naked <05903> and bare <06181>, [and] wast <01961> polluted <0947> in thy blood <01818>.

23 And it came <01961> to pass after <0310> all < 03605> thy wickedness <07451>, (woe, woe <0188> unto thee! saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>;)

24 [That] thou hast also built <01129> unto thee an eminent <01354> place, and hast made <06213> thee an high < 07413> place in every <03605> street <07339>.

25 Thou hast built <01129> thy high <07413> place at <0413> every <03605> head <07218> of the way < 01870>, and hast made thy beauty <03308> to be abhorred < 08581>, and hast opened <06589> thy feet <07272> to every <03605> one that passed <05674> by, and multiplied < 07235> thy whoredoms <08457>.

26 Thou hast also committed <02181> fornication < 02181> with the Egyptians <04714> thy neighbours <07934>, great <01432> of flesh <01320>; and hast increased < 07235> thy whoredoms <08457>, to provoke me to anger <03707> .

27 Behold <02009>, therefore I have stretched < 05186> out my hand <03027> over <05921> thee, and have diminished <01639> thine ordinary <02706> [food], and delivered <05414> thee unto the will <05314> of them that hate <08130> thee, the daughters <01121> of the Philistines < 06430>, which are ashamed <03637> of thy lewd <02154> way <01870>.

28 Thou hast played the whore <02181> also with the Assyrians <0804>, because <01115> thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot <02181> with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied <07646>.

29 Thou hast moreover multiplied <07235> thy fornication <08457> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667> unto Chaldea <03778>; and yet <01571> thou wast not satisfied < 07646> herewith.

30 How <04100> weak <0535> is thine heart < 03826>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, seeing thou doest <06213> all <03605> these <0428> [things], the work <04639> of an imperious <07986> whorish < 02181> woman <0802>;

31 In that thou buildest <01129> thine eminent < 01354> place in the head <07218> of every <03605> way < 01870>, and makest <06213> thine high <07413> place in every <03605> street <07339>; and hast not been <01961> as an harlot <02181>, in that thou scornest <07046> hire < 0868>;

32 [But as] a wife <0802> that committeth <05003> adultery <05003>, [which] taketh <03947> strangers < 02114> instead <08478> of her husband <0376>!

33 They give <05414> gifts <05078> to all < 03605> whores <02181>: but thou givest <05414> thy gifts <05083> to all <03605> thy lovers <0157>, and hirest < 07806> them, that they may come <0935> unto thee on every < 05437> side <05439> for thy whoredom <08457>.

34 And the contrary <02016> is in thee from [other] women <0802> in thy whoredoms <08457>, whereas none <03808> followeth <0310> thee to commit <02181> whoredoms <02181> : and in that thou givest <05414> a reward <0868>, and no < 03808> reward <0868> is given <05414> unto thee, therefore thou art contrary <02016>.

35. Wherefore <03651>, O harlot <02181>, hear < 08085> the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>:

36 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Because <03282> thy filthiness <05178> was poured <08210> out, and thy nakedness <06172> discovered < 01540> through thy whoredoms <08457> with thy lovers <0157>, and with all <03605> the idols <01544> of thy abominations <08441>, and by the blood <01818> of thy children <01121> , which <0834> thou didst give <05414> unto them;

37 Behold <02005>, therefore <03651> I will gather <06908> all <03605> thy lovers <0157>, with whom < 0834> thou hast taken pleasure <06148>, and all <03605> [them] that thou hast loved <0157>, with all <03605> [them] that thou hast hated <08130>; I will even gather <06908> them round <05439> about against <05921> thee, and will discover <01540> thy nakedness <06172> unto them, that they may see < 07200> all <03605> thy nakedness <06172>.

38 And I will judge <08199> thee, as women that break < 05003> wedlock <05003> and shed <08210> blood <01818> are judged <04941>; and I will give <05414> thee blood < 01818> in fury <02534> and jealousy <07068>.

39 And I will also give <05414> thee into their hand < 03027>, and they shall throw <02040> down <02040> thine eminent <01354> place, and shall break <05422> down < 05422> thy high <07413> places: they shall strip <06584> thee also of thy clothes <0899>, and shall take <03947> thy fair <08597> jewels <03627>, and leave <03241> thee naked <05903> and bare <06181>.

40 They shall also bring <05927> up a company < 06951> against <05921> thee, and they shall stone <07275> thee with stones <068>, and thrust <01333> thee through with their swords <02719>.

41 And they shall burn <08313> thine houses <01004> with fire <0784>, and execute <06213> judgments <08201> upon thee in the sight <05869> of many <07227> women < 0802>: and I will cause thee to cease <07673> from playing the harlot <02181>, and thou also <01571> shalt give <05414> no <03808> hire <0868> any more <05750>.

42 So will I make my fury <02534> toward thee to rest < 05117>, and my jealousy <07068> shall depart <05493> from thee, and I will be quiet <08252>, and will be no <03808> more <05750> angry <03707>.

43 Because thou hast not remembered <02142> the days < 03117> of thy youth <05271>, but hast fretted <07264> me in all <03605> these <0428> [things]; behold <01887>, therefore I also <01571> will recompense <05414> thy way < 01870> upon [thine] head <07218>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>: and thou shalt not commit <06213> this lewdness <02154> above <05921> all <03605> thine abominations <08441>.

44. Behold <02009>, every <03605> one that useth proverbs <04911> shall use <04911> [this] proverb <04911> against <05921> thee, saying <0559>, As [is] the mother < 0517>, [so is] her daughter <01323>.

45 Thou [art] thy mother's <0517> daughter <01323>, that lotheth <01602> her husband <0376> and her children < 01121>; and thou [art] the sister <0269> of thy sisters < 0269>, which <0834> lothed <01602> their husbands < 0582> and their children <01121>: your mother <0517> [was] an Hittite <02850>, and your father <01> an Amorite < 0567>.

46 And thine elder <01419> sister <0269> [is] Samaria <08111>, she and her daughters <01121> that dwell < 03427> at <05921> thy left <08040> hand <08040>: and thy younger <06996> sister <0269>, that dwelleth <03427> at thy right <03225> hand <03225>, [is] Sodom <05467> and her daughters <01121>.

47 Yet hast thou not walked <01980> after their ways < 01870>, nor done <06213> after their abominations <08441>: but, as [if that were] a very <06985> little <04592> [thing], thou wast corrupted <07843> more than they in all <03605> thy ways <01870>.

48 [As] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>, Sodom <05467> thy sister <0269> hath not done <06213>, she nor her daughters <01121>, as thou hast done <06213>, thou and thy daughters <01121>.

49 Behold <02009>, this <02088> was the iniquity <05771> of thy sister <0269> Sodom <05467>, pride < 01347>, fulness <07653> of bread <03899>, and abundance < 07962> of idleness <08252> was in her and in her daughters < 01121>, neither <03808> did she strengthen <02388> the hand <03027> of the poor <06041> and needy <034>.

50 And they were haughty <01361>, and committed < 06213> abomination <08441> before <06440> me: therefore I took <05493> them away <05493> as I saw <07200> [good].

51 Neither <03808> hath Samaria <08111> committed <02398> half <02677> of thy sins <02403>; but thou hast multiplied <07235> thine abominations <08441> more than they, and hast justified <06663> thy sisters <0269> in all < 03605> thine abominations <08441> which <0834> thou hast done <06213>.

52 Thou also <01571>, which <0834> hast judged < 06419> thy sisters <0269>, bear <05375> thine own shame < 03639> for thy sins <02403> that thou hast committed <08581> more abominable <08581> than they: they are more righteous < 06663> than thou: yea <01571>, be thou confounded <0954> also <01571>, and bear <05375> thy shame <03639>, in that thou hast justified <06663> thy sisters <0269>.

53 When I shall bring <07725> again <07725> their captivity <07622>, the captivity <07622> of Sodom <05467> and her daughters <01121>, and the captivity <07622> of Samaria <08111> and her daughters <01121>, then [will I bring again] the captivity <07622> of thy captives <07628> in the midst <08432> of them:

54 That thou mayest bear <05375> thine own shame < 03639>, and mayest be confounded <03637> in all <03605> that thou hast done <06213>, in that thou art a comfort <05162> unto them.

55 When thy sisters <0269>, Sodom <05467> and her daughters <01121>, shall return <07725> to their former < 06927> estate, and Samaria <08111> and her daughters <01121> shall return <07725> to their former <06927> estate < 03653>, then thou and thy daughters <01121> shall return < 07725> to your former <06927> estate.

56 For thy sister <0269> Sodom <05467> was not mentioned <08052> by thy mouth <06310> in the day <03117> of thy pride <01347>,

57 Before <02962> thy wickedness <07451> was discovered <01540>, as at the time <06256> of [thy] reproach <02781> of the daughters <01121> of Syria <0758>, and all <03605> [that are] round <05439> about her, the daughters <01121> of the Philistines <06430>, which despise <07590> thee round <05439> about.

58 Thou hast borne <05375> thy lewdness <02154> and thine abominations <08441>, saith <05002> the LORD < 03068>.

59 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>; I will even deal <06213> with thee as thou hast done <06213>, which <0834> hast despised <0959> the oath <0423> in breaking <06565> the covenant <01285> .

60. Nevertheless I will remember <02142> my covenant < 01285> with thee in the days <03117> of thy youth <05271>, and I will establish <06965> unto thee an everlasting <05769> covenant <01285>.

61 Then thou shalt remember <02142> thy ways <01870> , and be ashamed <03637>, when thou shalt receive <03947> thy sisters <0269>, thine elder <01419> and thy younger < 06996>: and I will give <05414> them unto thee for daughters < 01121>, but not by thy covenant <01285>.

62 And I will establish <06965> my covenant <01285> with thee; and thou shalt know <03045> that I [am] the LORD < 03068>:

63 That thou mayest remember <02142>, and be confounded <0954>, and never <03808> open <06610> thy mouth < 06310> any more <05750> because <06440> of thy shame < 03639>, when I am pacified <03722> toward thee for all < 03605> that thou hast done <06213>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 17

1. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came < 01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, put <02330> forth <02330> a riddle <02420>, and speak <04911> a parable <04912> unto the house <01004> of Israel <03478>;

3 And say <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; A great <01419> eagle < 05404> with great <01419> wings <03671>, longwinged, full <04392> of feathers <05133>, which <0834> had divers < 07553> colours <07553>, came <0935> unto Lebanon < 03844>, and took <03947> the highest <06788> branch < 06788> of the cedar <0730>:

4 He cropped <06998> off the top <07218> of his young <03242> twigs <03242>, and carried <0935> it into a land <0776> of traffick <03667>; he set <07760> it in a city <05892> of merchants <07402>.

5 He took <03947> also of the seed <02233> of the land <0776>, and planted it in a fruitful <02233> field < 07704>; he placed <03947> [it] by great <07227> waters < 04325>, [and] set <07760> it [as] a willow <06851> tree.

6 And it grew <06779>, and became <01961> a spreading <05627> vine <01612> of low <08217> stature <06967>, whose branches <01808> turned <06437> toward <0413> him, and the roots <08328> thereof were under < 08478> him: so it became <01961> a vine <01612>, and brought <05375> forth <06213> branches <0905>, and shot <07971> forth sprigs <06288>.

7 There was also another <0259> great <01419> eagle <05404> with great <01419> wings <03671> and many < 07227> feathers <05133>: and, behold <02009>, this < 02063> vine <01612> did bend <03719> her roots <08328> toward <05921> him, and shot <07971> forth her branches < 01808> toward <05921> him, that he might water <08248> it by the furrows <06170> of her plantation <04302>.

8 It was planted <08362> in a good <02896> soil < 07704> by great <07227> waters <04325>, that it might bring <06213> forth <06213> branches <06057>, and that it might bear <05375> fruit <06529>, that it might be a goodly <0155> vine <01612>.

9 Say <0559> thou, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Shall it prosper <06743>? shall he not pull <05423> up the roots <08328> thereof, and cut <07082> off the fruit <06529> thereof, that it wither < 03001>? it shall wither <03001> in all <03605> the leaves <02964> of her spring <06780>, even without <03808> great <01419> power <02220> or many <07227> people < 05971> to pluck <05375> it up by the roots <08328> thereof.

10 Yea, behold <02009>, [being] planted <08362>, shall it prosper <06743>? shall it not utterly wither <03001>, when the east <06921> wind <07307> toucheth <05060> it? it shall wither <03001> in the furrows <06170> where < 05921> it grew <06780>.

11 Moreover the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

12 Say <0559> now <04994> to the rebellious < 04805> house <01004>, Know <03045> ye not what <04100> these <0428> [things mean]? tell <0559> [them], Behold < 02009>, the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> is come < 0935> to Jerusalem <03389>, and hath taken <03947> the king <04428> thereof, and the princes <08269> thereof, and led < 0935> them with him to Babylon <0894>;

13 And hath taken <03947> of the king's <04410> seed <02233>, and made <03772> a covenant <01285> with him, and hath taken <0935> an oath <0423> of him: he hath also taken <03947> the mighty <0352> of the land <0776>:

14 That the kingdom <04467> might be base <08217>, that it might not lift <05375> itself up, [but] that by keeping < 08104> of his covenant <01285> it might stand <05975>.

15 But he rebelled <04775> against him in sending < 07971> his ambassadors <04397> into Egypt <04714>, that they might give <05414> him horses <05483> and much < 07227> people <05971>. Shall he prosper <06743>? shall he escape <04422> that doeth <06213> such <0428> [things]? or shall he break <06565> the covenant <01285>, and be delivered <04422>?

16 [As] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>, surely in the place <04725> [where] the king <04428> [dwelleth] that made him king <04427>, whose oath <0423> he despised <0959>, and whose <0853> covenant < 01285> he brake <06565>, [even] with him in the midst < 08432> of Babylon <0894> he shall die <04191>.

17 Neither <03808> shall Pharaoh <06547> with [his] mighty <01419> army <02428> and great <07227> company <06951> make <06213> for him in the war <04421>, by casting <08210> up mounts <05550>, and building <01129> forts <01785>, to cut <03772> off many <07227> persons <05315>:

18 Seeing he despised <0959> the oath <0423> by breaking <06565> the covenant <01285>, when, lo <02009>, he had given <05414> his hand <03027>, and hath done < 06213> all <03605> these <0428> [things], he shall not escape <04422>.

19 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; [As] I live <02416>, surely mine oath <0423> that he hath despised <0959>, and my covenant <01285> that he hath broken <06331>, even it will I recompense <05414> upon his own head <07218>.

20 And I will spread <06566> my net <07568> upon him, and he shall be taken <08610> in my snare <04686>, and I will bring <0935> him to Babylon <0894>, and will plead < 08199> with him there <08033> for his trespass <04604> that he hath trespassed <04604> against me.

21 And all <03605> his fugitives <04015> with all <03605> his bands <0102> shall fall <05307> by the sword <02719>, and they that remain <07604> shall be scattered < 06566> toward all <03605> winds <07307>: and ye shall know <03045> that I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> [it].

22. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I will also take <03947> of the highest < 06788> branch <06788> of the high <07311> cedar <0730> , and will set <05414> [it]; I will crop <06998> off from the top <07218> of his young <03127> twigs <03127> a tender <07390> one, and will plant <08362> [it] upon an high < 01364> mountain <02022> and eminent <08524>:

23 In the mountain <02022> of the height <04791> of Israel <03478> will I plant <08362> it: and it shall bring < 05375> forth <05375> boughs <06057>, and bear <06213> fruit <06529>, and be a goodly <0117> cedar <0730>: and under <08478> it shall dwell <07931> all <03605> fowl <06833> of every <03605> wing <03671>; in the shadow < 06738> of the branches <01808> thereof shall they dwell < 07931>.

24 And all <03605> the trees <06086> of the field <07704> shall know <03045> that I the LORD <03068> have brought <08213> down <08213> the high <01364> tree < 06086>, have exalted <01361> the low <08217> tree < 06086>, have dried <03001> up the green <03892> tree < 06086>, and have made the dry <03002> tree <06086> to flourish <06524>: I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> and have done <06213> [it].

Ezekiel 18

1. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came < 01961> unto me again, saying <0559>,

2 What <04100> mean ye, that ye use <04911> this <02088> proverb <04911> concerning <05921> the land < 0127> of Israel <03478>, saying <0559>, The fathers < 01> have eaten <0398> sour <01155> grapes <01154>, and the children's <01121> teeth <08127> are set on edge < 06949>?

3 [As] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>, ye shall not have [occasion] any more < 05750> to use <04911> this <02088> proverb <04911> in Israel <03478>.

4 Behold <02005>, all <03605> souls <05315> are mine; as the soul <05315> of the father <01>, so also the soul <05315> of the son <01121> is mine: the soul <05315> that sinneth <02398>, it shall die <04191>.

5 But if <03588> a man <0376> be just <06662>, and do <06213> that which is lawful <04941> and right < 06666>,

6 [And] hath not eaten <0398> upon the mountains < 02022>, neither <03808> hath lifted <05375> up his eyes < 05869> to the idols <01544> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, neither <03808> hath defiled <02930> his neighbour's <07453> wife <0802>, neither <03808> hath come <07126> near <07126> to a menstruous <05079> woman <0802>,

7 And hath not oppressed <03238> any <0376>, [but] hath restored <07725> to the debtor <02326> his pledge < 02258>, hath spoiled <01497> none <03808> by violence < 01500>, hath given <05414> his bread <03899> to the hungry <07456>, and hath covered <03680> the naked <05903> with a garment <0899>;

8 He [that] hath not given <05414> forth upon usury < 05392>, neither <03808> hath taken <03947> any increase < 08635>, [that] hath withdrawn <07725> his hand <03027> from iniquity <05766>, hath executed <06213> true <0571> judgment <04941> between <0996> man <0376> and man < 0376>,

9 Hath walked <01980> in my statutes <02708>, and hath kept <08104> my judgments <04941>, to deal <06213> truly <0571>; he [is] just <06662>, he shall surely live < 02421>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

10. If he beget <03205> a son <01121> [that is] a robber <06530>, a shedder <08210> of blood <01818>, and [that] doeth <06213> the like <0251> to [any] one <0259> of these <0428> [things],

11 And that doeth <06213> not any <03605> of those <0428> [duties], but even <01571> hath eaten <0398> upon the mountains <02022>, and defiled <02930> his neighbour's < 07453> wife <0802>,

12 Hath oppressed <03238> the poor <06041> and needy <034>, hath spoiled <01497> by violence <01500>, hath not restored <07725> the pledge <02258>, and hath lifted <05375> up his eyes <05869> to the idols <01544>, hath committed <06213> abomination <08441>,

13 Hath given <05414> forth upon usury <05392>, and hath taken <03947> increase <08635>: shall he then live < 02425>? he shall not live <02421>: he hath done <06213> all <03605> these <0428> abominations <08441>; he shall surely die <04191>; his blood <01818> shall be upon him.

14 Now, lo <02009>, [if] he beget <03205> a son < 01121>, that seeth <07200> all <03605> his father's < 01> sins <02403> which <0834> he hath done <06213>, and considereth <07200>, and doeth <06213> not such < 02007> like,

15 [That] hath not eaten <0398> upon the mountains < 02022>, neither <03808> hath lifted <05375> up his eyes < 05869> to the idols <01544> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, hath not defiled <02930> his neighbour's <07453> wife <0802>,

16 Neither <03808> hath oppressed <03238> any < 0376>, hath not withholden <02254> the pledge <02258>, neither <03808> hath spoiled <01497> by violence <01500>, [but] hath given <05414> his bread <03899> to the hungry < 07456>, and hath covered <03680> the naked <05903> with a garment <0899>,

17 [That] hath taken <07725> off his hand <03027> from the poor <06041>, [that] hath not received <03947> usury <05392> nor increase <08635>, hath executed <06213> my judgments <04941>, hath walked <01980> in my statutes < 02708>; he shall not die <04191> for the iniquity <05771> of his father <01>, he shall surely live <02421>.

18 [As for] his father <01>, because <03588> he cruelly <06233> oppressed <06231>, spoiled <01497> his brother <0251> by violence <01499>, and did <06213> [that] which <0834> [is] not good <02896> among <08432> his people <05971>, lo <02009>, even he shall die <04191> in his iniquity <05771>.

19 Yet say <0559> ye, Why <04069>? doth not the son <01121> bear <05375> the iniquity <05771> of the father <01>? When the son <01121> hath done <06213> that which is lawful <04941> and right <06666>, [and] hath kept < 08104> all <03605> my statutes <02708>, and hath done < 06213> them, he shall surely live <02421>.

20 The soul <05315> that sinneth <02398>, it shall die <04191>. The son <01121> shall not bear <05375> the iniquity <05771> of the father <01>, neither <03808> shall the father <01> bear <05375> the iniquity <05771> of the son <01121>: the righteousness <06666> of the righteous <06662> shall be upon him, and the wickedness <07564> of the wicked <07563> shall be upon him.

21. But if the wicked <07563> will turn <07725> from all <03605> his sins <02403> that he hath committed < 06213>, and keep <08104> all <03605> my statutes < 02708>, and do <06213> that which is lawful <04941> and right <06666>, he shall surely live <02421>, he shall not die <04191>.

22 All <03605> his transgressions <06588> that he hath committed <06213>, they shall not be mentioned <02142> unto him: in his righteousness <06666> that he hath done < 06213> he shall live <02421>.

23 Have I any pleasure <02654> at all that the wicked < 07563> should die <04194>? saith <05002> the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>: [and] not that he should return <07725> from his ways <01870>, and live <02421>?

24 But when the righteous <06662> turneth <07725> away from his righteousness <06666>, and committeth <06213> iniquity <05766>, [and] doeth <06213> according to all < 03605> the abominations <08441> that the wicked <07563> [man] doeth <06213>, shall he live <02425>? All <03605> his righteousness <06666> that he hath done <06213> shall not be mentioned <02142>: in his trespass <04604> that he hath trespassed <04604>, and in his sin <02403> that he hath sinned <02398>, in them shall he die <04191>.

25 Yet ye say <0559>, The way <01870> of the Lord <0136> is not equal <08505>. Hear <08085> now < 04994>, O house <01004> of Israel <03478>; Is not my way <01870> equal <08505>? are not your ways <01870> unequal?

26 When a righteous <06662> [man] turneth <07725> away from his righteousness <06666>, and committeth <06213> iniquity <05766>, and dieth <04191> in them; for his iniquity <05766> that he hath done <06213> shall he die <04191>.

27 Again, when the wicked <07563> [man] turneth < 07725> away from his wickedness <07564> that he hath committed <06213>, and doeth <06213> that which is lawful <04941> and right <06666>, he shall save <02421> his soul <05315> alive <02421>.

28 Because he considereth <07200>, and turneth < 07725> away from all <03605> his transgressions <06588> that he hath committed <06213>, he shall surely live <02421>, he shall not die <04191>.

29 Yet saith <0559> the house <01004> of Israel < 03478>, The way <01870> of the Lord <0136> is not equal < 08505>. O house <01004> of Israel <03478>, are not my ways <01870> equal <08505>? are not your ways <01870> unequal?

30. Therefore <03651> I will judge <08199> you, O house <01004> of Israel <03478>, every <0376> one < 0376> according to his ways <01870>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>. Repent <07725>, and turn < 07725> [yourselves] from all <03605> your transgressions < 06588>; so iniquity <05771> shall not be your ruin <04383>.

31 Cast <07993> away from you all <03605> your transgressions <06588>, whereby <0834> ye have transgressed <06586>; and make <06213> you a new <02319> heart < 03820> and a new <02319> spirit <07307>: for why < 04100> will ye die <04191>, O house <01004> of Israel < 03478>?

32 For I have no <03808> pleasure <02654> in the death <04194> of him that dieth <04191>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>: wherefore turn <07725> [yourselves], and live <02421> ye.

Ezekiel 19

1. Moreover take <05375> thou up a lamentation < 07015> for the princes <05387> of Israel <03478>,

2 And say <0559>, What <04100> [is] thy mother < 0517>? A lioness <03833>: she lay <07257> down <07257> among <0996> lions <0738>, she nourished <07235> her whelps <01482> among <08432> young <03715> lions < 03715>.

3 And she brought <05927> up one <0259> of her whelps <01482>: it became <01961> a young <03715> lion <03715>, and it learned <03925> to catch <02963> the prey <02964>; it devoured <0398> men <0120>.

4 The nations <01471> also heard <08085> of him; he was taken <08610> in their pit <07845>, and they brought < 0935> him with chains <02397> unto the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.

5 Now when she saw <07200> that she had waited < 03176>, [and] her hope <08615> was lost <06>, then she took <03947> another <0259> of her whelps <01482>, [and] made <07760> him a young <03715> lion <03715>.

6 And he went <01980> up and down among <08432> the lions <0738>, he became <01961> a young <03715> lion < 03715>, and learned <03925> to catch <02963> the prey < 02964>, [and] devoured <0398> men <0120>.

7 And he knew <03045> their desolate <0490> palaces, and he laid waste <02717> their cities <05892>; and the land <0776> was desolate <03456>, and the fulness <04393> thereof, by the noise <06963> of his roaring <07581>.

8 Then the nations <01471> set <05414> against < 05921> him on every <05437> side <05439> from the provinces <04082>, and spread <06566> their net <07568> over < 05921> him: he was taken <08610> in their pit <07845>.

9 And they put <05414> him in ward <05474> in chains <02397>, and brought <0935> him to the king < 04428> of Babylon <0894>: they brought <0935> him into holds <04686>, that his voice <06963> should no <03808> more <05750> be heard <08085> upon the mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>.

10. Thy mother <0517> [is] like a vine <01612> in thy blood <01818>, planted <08362> by the waters <04325>: she was fruitful <06509> and full of branches <06058> by reason of many <07227> waters <04325>.

11 And she had <01961> strong <05797> rods < 04294> for the sceptres <07626> of them that bare <04910> rule <04910>, and her stature <06967> was exalted <01361> among <0996> the thick <05688> branches <05688>, and she appeared <07200> in her height <01363> with the multitude <07230> of her branches <01808>.

12 But she was plucked <05428> up in fury <02534>, she was cast <07993> down to the ground <0776>, and the east <06921> wind <07307> dried <03001> up her fruit < 06529>: her strong <05797> rods <04294> were broken < 06531> and withered <03001>; the fire <0784> consumed < 0398> them.

13 And now <06258> she [is] planted <08362> in the wilderness <04057>, in a dry <06723> and thirsty <06772> ground <0776>.

14 And fire <0784> is gone <03318> out of a rod < 04294> of her branches <0905>, [which] hath devoured <0398> her fruit <06529>, so that she hath no <03808> strong < 05797> rod <04294> [to be] a sceptre <07626> to rule < 04910>. This <01931> [is] a lamentation <07015>, and shall be for a lamentation <07015>.

Ezekiel 20

1. And it came <01961> to pass in the seventh <07637> year <08141>, in the fifth <02549> [month], the tenth < 06218> [day] of the month <02320>, [that] certain <0582> of the elders <02205> of Israel <03478> came <0935> to enquire <01875> of the LORD <03068>, and sat <03427> before <06440> me.

2 Then came <01961> the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> unto me, saying <0559>,

3 Son <01121> of man <0120>, speak <01696> unto the elders <02205> of Israel <03478>, and say <0559> unto them, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Are ye come <0935> to enquire <01875> of me? [As] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, I will not be enquired <01875> of by you.

4 Wilt thou judge <08199> them, son <01121> of man <0120>, wilt thou judge <08199> [them]? cause them to know < 03045> the abominations <08441> of their fathers <01>:

5. And say <0559> unto them, Thus <03541> saith < 0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; In the day <03117> when I chose <0977> Israel <03478>, and lifted <05375> up mine hand <03027> unto the seed <02233> of the house < 01004> of Jacob <03290>, and made myself known <03045> unto them in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, when I lifted < 05375> up mine hand <03027> unto them, saying <0559>, I [am] the LORD <03068> your God <0430>;

6 In the day <03117> [that] I lifted <05375> up mine hand <03027> unto them, to bring <03318> them forth < 03318> of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> into <0413> a land <0776> that I had espied <08446> for them, flowing < 02100> with milk <02461> and honey <01706>, which < 01958> [is] the glory <06643> of all <03605> lands < 0776>:

7 Then said <0559> I unto them, Cast <07993> ye away every man <0376> the abominations <08251> of his eyes < 05869>, and defile <02930> not yourselves with the idols < 01544> of Egypt <04714>: I [am] the LORD <03068> your God <0430>.

8 But they rebelled <04784> against me, and would < 014> not hearken <08085> unto me: they did not every man < 0376> cast <07993> away the abominations <08251> of their eyes <05869>, neither <03808> did they forsake <05800> the idols <01544> of Egypt <04714>: then I said <0559>, I will pour <08210> out my fury <02534> upon them, to accomplish <03615> my anger <0639> against them in the midst <08432> of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.

9 But I wrought <06213> for my name's <08034> sake <04616>, that it should not be polluted <02490> before < 05869> the heathen <01471>, among <08432> whom <0834> they [were], in whose <0853> sight <05869> I made myself known <03045> unto them, in bringing <03318> them forth <03318> out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.

10. Wherefore I caused them to go <03318> forth < 03318> out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, and brought <0935> them into <0413> the wilderness <04057>.

11 And I gave <05414> them my statutes <02708>, and shewed <03045> them my judgments <04941>, which <0834> [if] a man <0120> do <06213>, he shall even live <02425> in them.

12 Moreover <01571> also <01571> I gave < 05414> them my sabbaths <07676>, to be a sign <0226> between <0996> me and them, that they might know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068> that sanctify <06942> them.

13 But the house <01004> of Israel <03478> rebelled <04784> against me in the wilderness <04057>: they walked < 01980> not in my statutes <02708>, and they despised <03988> my judgments <04941>, which <0834> [if] a man <0120> do <06213>, he shall even live <02425> in them; and my sabbaths <07676> they greatly <03966> polluted <02490>: then I said <0559>, I would pour <08210> out my fury <02534> upon them in the wilderness <04057>, to consume <03615> them.

14 But I wrought <06213> for my name's <08034> sake <04616>, that it should not be polluted <02490> before < 05869> the heathen <01471>, in whose <0834> sight < 05869> I brought <03318> them out.

15 Yet also <01571> I lifted <05375> up my hand < 03027> unto them in the wilderness <04057>, that I would not bring <0935> them into <0413> the land <0776> which < 0834> I had given <05414> [them], flowing <02100> with milk <02461> and honey <01706>, which <01958> [is] the glory of all <03605> lands <0776>;

16 Because <03282> they despised <03988> my judgments <04941>, and walked <01980> not in my statutes < 02708>, but polluted <02490> my sabbaths <07676>: for their heart <03820> went <01980> after <0310> their idols < 01544>.

17 Nevertheless mine eye <05869> spared <02347> them from destroying <07843> them, neither <03808> did I make <06213> an end <03615> of them in the wilderness <04057>.

18 But I said <0559> unto their children <01121> in the wilderness <04057>, Walk <03212> ye not in the statutes <02706> of your fathers <01>, neither <0408> observe < 08104> their judgments <04941>, nor <0408> defile < 02930> yourselves with their idols <01544>:

19 I [am] the LORD <03068> your God <0430>; walk <03212> in my statutes <02708>, and keep <08104> my judgments <04941>, and do <06213> them;

20 And hallow <06942> my sabbaths <07676>; and they shall be a sign <0226> between <0996> me and you, that ye may know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068> your God <0430> .

21 Notwithstanding the children <01121> rebelled < 04784> against me: they walked <01980> not in my statutes < 02708>, neither <03808> kept <08104> my judgments < 04941> to do <06213> them, which <0834> [if] a man < 0120> do <06213>, he shall even live <02425> in them; they polluted <02490> my sabbaths <07676>: then I said <0559>, I would pour <08210> out my fury <02534> upon them, to accomplish <03615> my anger <0639> against them in the wilderness <04057>.

22 Nevertheless I withdrew <07725> mine hand <03027> , and wrought <06213> for my name's <08034> sake <04616>, that it should not be polluted <02490> in the sight <05869> of the heathen <01471>, in whose <0834> sight <05869> I brought <03318> them forth <03318>.

23 I lifted <05375> up mine hand <03027> unto them also <01571> in the wilderness <04057>, that I would scatter <06327> them among the heathen <01471>, and disperse < 02219> them through the countries <0776>;

24 Because <03282> they had not executed <06213> my judgments <04941>, but had despised <03988> my statutes < 02708>, and had polluted <02490> my sabbaths <07676>, and their eyes <05869> were after <0310> their fathers <01>' idols <01544>.

25 Wherefore I gave <05414> them also <01571> statutes <02706> [that were] not good <02896>, and judgments <04941> whereby they should not live <02421>;

26 And I polluted <02930> them in their own gifts < 04979>, in that they caused to pass <05674> through [the fire] all <03605> that openeth <06363> the womb <07356>, that I might make them desolate <08074>, to the end <04616> that they might know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

27. Therefore <03651>, son <01121> of man < 0120>, speak <01696> unto the house <01004> of Israel < 03478>, and say <0559> unto them, Thus <03541> saith < 0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Yet <05750> in this <02063> your fathers <01> have blasphemed <01442> me, in that they have committed <04600> a trespass <04604> against me.

28 [For] when I had brought <0935> them into <0413> the land <0776>, [for] the which <0834> I lifted <05375> up mine hand <03027> to give <05414> it to them, then they saw <07200> every <03605> high <07311> hill <01389>, and all <03605> the thick <05687> trees <06086>, and they offered <02076> there <08033> their sacrifices < 02077>, and there <08033> they presented <05414> the provocation <03708> of their offering <07133>: there < 08033> also they made <07760> their sweet <05207> savour <07381>, and poured <05258> out there <08033> their drink <05262> offerings.

29 Then I said <0559> unto them, What <04100> [is] the high <01116> place whereunto ye go <0935>? And the name <08034> thereof is called <07121> Bamah <01117> unto this <02088> day <03117>.

30 Wherefore <03651> say <0559> unto the house < 01004> of Israel <03478>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Are ye polluted <02930> after the manner <01870> of your fathers <01>? and commit < 02181> ye whoredom <02181> after <0310> their abominations <08251>?

31 For when ye offer <05375> your gifts <04979>, when ye make your sons <01121> to pass <05674> through the fire <0784>, ye pollute <02930> yourselves with all < 03605> your idols <01544>, even unto this day <03117>: and shall I be enquired <01875> of by you, O house <01004> of Israel <03478>? [As] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, I will not be enquired of by you.

32 And that which cometh <05927> into <05921> your mind <07307> shall not be at all, that ye say <0559>, We will be as the heathen <01471>, as the families <04940> of the countries <0776>, to serve <08334> wood <06086> and stone <068>.

33. [As] I live, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, surely with a mighty <02389> hand <03027>, and with a stretched <05186> out arm <02220>, and with fury < 02534> poured <08210> out, will I rule <04427> over you:

34 And I will bring <03318> you out from the people < 05971>, and will gather <06908> you out of the countries < 0776> wherein <0834> ye are scattered <06327>, with a mighty <02389> hand <03027>, and with a stretched <05186> out arm <02220>, and with fury <02534> poured <08210> out.

35 And I will bring <0935> you into <0413> the wilderness <04057> of the people <05971>, and there < 08033> will I plead <08199> with you face <06440> to face <06440>.

36 Like as I pleaded <08199> with your fathers <01> in the wilderness <04057> of the land <0776> of Egypt < 04714>, so <03651> will I plead <08199> with you, saith < 05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

37 And I will cause you to pass <05674> under < 08478> the rod <07626>, and I will bring <0935> you into the bond <04562> of the covenant <01285>:

38 And I will purge <01305> out from among you the rebels <04775>, and them that transgress <06586> against me: I will bring <03318> them forth <03318> out of the country < 0776> where they sojourn <04033>, and they shall not enter < 0935> into <0413> the land <0127> of Israel <03478>: and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

39 As for you, O house <01004> of Israel <03478>, thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD < 03069>; Go <03212> ye, serve <05647> ye every <0376> one <0376> his idols <01544>, and hereafter <0310> [also], if <0518> ye will not hearken <08085> unto me: but pollute <02490> ye my holy <06944> name <08034> no < 03808> more <05750> with your gifts <04979>, and with your idols <01544>.

40 For in mine holy <06944> mountain <02022>, in the mountain <02022> of the height <04791> of Israel < 03478>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, there <08033> shall all <03605> the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, all <03605> of them in the land <0776>, serve <05647> me: there <08033> will I accept <07521> them, and there <08033> will I require <01875> your offerings <08641>, and the firstfruits <07225> of your oblations < 04864>, with all <03605> your holy things.

41 I will accept <07521> you with your sweet <05207> savour <07381>, when I bring <03318> you out from the people <05971>, and gather <06908> you out of the countries < 0776> wherein ye have been scattered <06327>; and I will be sanctified <06942> in you before <05869> the heathen < 01471>.

42 And ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD < 03068>, when I shall bring <0935> you into <0413> the land <0127> of Israel <03478>, into <0413> the country < 0776> [for] the which <0834> I lifted <05375> up mine hand <03027> to give <05414> it to your fathers <01>.

43 And there <08033> shall ye remember <02142> your ways <01870>, and all <03605> your doings <05949>, wherein <0834> ye have been defiled <02930>; and ye shall lothe <06962> yourselves in your own sight <06440> for all < 03605> your evils <07451> that ye have committed <06213>.

44 And ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD < 03068>, when <03588> I have wrought <06213> with you for my name's <08034> sake <04616>, not according to your wicked < 07451> ways <01870>, nor according to your corrupt <07843> doings <05949>, O ye house <01004> of Israel <03478>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

45. Moreover the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

46 Son <01121> of man <0120>, set <07760> thy face <06440> toward <01870> the south <08486>, and drop <05197> [thy word] toward <0413> the south <01864>, and prophesy <05012> against <0413> the forest <03293> of the south <05045> field <07704>;

47 And say <0559> to the forest <03293> of the south <05045>, Hear <08085> the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>; Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I will kindle <03341> a fire <0784> in thee, and it shall devour <0398> every < 03605> green <03892> tree <06086> in thee, and every < 03605> dry <03002> tree <06086>: the flaming <03852> flame <07957> shall not be quenched <03518>, and all < 03605> faces <06440> from the south <05045> to the north <06828> shall be burned <06866> therein.

48 And all <03605> flesh <01320> shall see < 07200> that I the LORD <03068> have kindled <01197> it: it shall not be quenched <03518>.

49 Then said <0559> I, Ah <0162> Lord <0136> GOD <03069>! they say <0559> of me, Doth he not speak < 04911> parables <04912>?

Ezekiel 21

1. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came < 01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, set <07760> thy face <06440> toward <0413> Jerusalem <03389>, and drop <05197> [thy word] toward <0413> the holy <04720> places, and prophesy <05012> against <0413> the land <0127> of Israel <03478>,

3 And say <0559> to the land <0127> of Israel < 03478>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>; Behold <02005>, I [am] against <0413> thee, and will draw < 03318> forth <03318> my sword <02719> out of his sheath < 08593>, and will cut <03772> off from thee the righteous < 06662> and the wicked <07563>.

4 Seeing <03282> then that I will cut <03772> off from thee the righteous <06662> and the wicked <07563>, therefore shall my sword <02719> go <03318> forth <03318> out of his sheath <08593> against <0413> all <03605> flesh <01320> from the south <05045> to the north <06828> :

5 That all <03605> flesh <01320> may know < 03045> that I the LORD <03068> have drawn <03318> forth < 03318> my sword <02719> out of his sheath <08593>: it shall not return <07725> any more <05750>.

6 Sigh <0584> therefore, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, with the breaking <07670> of [thy] loins <04975>; and with bitterness <04814> sigh <0584> before their eyes < 05869>.

7 And it shall be, when <03588> they say <0559> unto thee, Wherefore sighest <0584> thou? that thou shalt answer < 0559>, For the tidings <08052>; because <03588> it cometh <0935>: and every <03605> heart <03820> shall melt < 04549>, and all <03605> hands <03027> shall be feeble < 07503>, and every <03605> spirit <07307> shall faint < 03543>, and all <03605> knees <01290> shall be weak < 03212> [as] water <04325>: behold <02009>, it cometh < 0935>, and shall be brought <01961> to pass, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

8. Again the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

9 Son <01121> of man <0120>, prophesy <05012>, and say <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD < 03068>; Say <0559>, A sword <02719>, a sword <02719> is sharpened <02300>, and also <01571> furbished <04803>:

10 It is sharpened <02300> to make a sore slaughter < 02873>; it is furbished <04803> that it may glitter <01300>: should we then <0176> make mirth <07797>? it contemneth < 03988> the rod <07626> of my son <01121>, [as] every < 03605> tree <06086>.

11 And he hath given <05414> it to be furbished < 04803>, that it may be handled: this <01931> sword <02719> is sharpened <02300>, and it is furbished <04803>, to give < 05414> it into the hand <03027> of the slayer <02026>.

12 Cry <02199> and howl <03213>, son <01121> of man <0120>: for it shall be upon my people <05971>, it [shall be] upon all <03605> the princes <05387> of Israel < 03478>: terrors <04048> by reason <0413> of the sword < 02719> shall be upon my people <05971>: smite <05606> therefore upon [thy] thigh <03409>.

13 Because <03588> [it is] a trial <0974>, and what <04100> if <0518> [the sword] contemn <03988> even < 01571> the rod <07626>? it shall be no <03808> [more], saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

14 Thou therefore, son <01121> of man <0120>, prophesy <05012>, and smite <05221> [thine] hands <03709> together, and let the sword <02719> be doubled <03717> the third <07992> time, the sword <02719> of the slain < 02491>: it [is] the sword <02719> of the great <01419> [men that are] slain <02491>, which entereth into their privy < 02314> chambers <02315>.

15 I have set <05414> the point <019> of the sword <02719> against <05921> all <03605> their gates < 08179>, that [their] heart <03820> may faint <04127>, and [their] ruins <04383> be multiplied <07235>: ah <0253>! [it is] made bright <01300>, [it is] wrapped <04593> up for the slaughter <02875>.

16 Go <0258> thee one way or other, [either] on the right <03231> hand <03221>, [or] on the left <08041>, whithersoever <0575> thy face <06440> [is] set <03259>.

17 I will also <01571> smite <05221> mine hands < 03709> together, and I will cause my fury <02534> to rest < 05117>: I the LORD <03068> have said <01696> [it].

18. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came < 01961> unto me again, saying <0559>,

19 Also, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, appoint <07760> thee two <08147> ways <01870>, that the sword <02719> of the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> may come <0935>: both twain <08147> shall come <03318> forth < 03318> out of one <0259> land <0776>: and choose < 01254> thou a place <03027>, choose <01254> [it] at the head <07218> of the way <01870> to the city <05892>.

20 Appoint <07760> a way <01870>, that the sword <02719> may come <0935> to Rabbath <07237> of the Ammonites <05984>, and to Judah <03063> in Jerusalem < 03389> the defenced <01219>.

21 For the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> stood < 05975> at <0413> the parting <0517> of the way <01870> , at the head <07218> of the two <08147> ways <01870>, to use <07080> divination <07081>: he made [his] arrows < 02671> bright <07043>, he consulted <07592> with images < 08655>, he looked <07200> in the liver <03516>.

22 At his right <03225> hand <03225> was the divination <07081> for Jerusalem <03389>, to appoint < 07760> captains <03733>, to open <06605> the mouth < 06310> in the slaughter <07524>, to lift <07311> up the voice <06963> with shouting <08643>, to appoint <07760> [battering] rams <03733> against <05921> the gates < 08179>, to cast <08210> a mount <05550>, [and] to build < 01129> a fort <01785>.

23 And it shall be unto them as a false <07723> divination <07080> in their sight <05869>, to them that have sworn <07650> oaths <07621>: but he will call <02142> to remembrance <02142> the iniquity <05771>, that they may be taken <08610>.

24 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Because <03282> ye have made your iniquity <05771> to be remembered <02142>, in that your transgressions <06588> are discovered <01540>, so that in all <03605> your doings <05949> your sins <02403> do appear <07200>; because <03282>, [I say], that ye are come to remembrance <02142>, ye shall be taken <08610> with the hand <03079>.

25 And thou, profane <02491> wicked <07563> prince <05387> of Israel <03478>, whose <0834> day <03117> is come <0935>, when <06256> iniquity <05771> [shall have] an end <07093>,

26 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Remove <05493> the diadem <04701>, and take <07311> off the crown <05850>: this <02063> [shall] not [be] the same <02063>: exalt <01361> [him that is] low < 08217>, and abase <08213> [him that is] high <01364>.

27 I will overturn <05754>, overturn <05754>, overturn <05754>, it: and it shall be no <03808> [more], until <05704> he come <0935> whose <0834> right <04941> it is; and I will give <05414> it [him].

28. And thou, son <01121> of man <0120>, prophesy <05012> and say <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> concerning <0413> the Ammonites <05984>, and concerning <0413> their reproach < 02781>; even say <0559> thou, The sword <02719>, the sword <02719> [is] drawn <06605>: for the slaughter <02875> [it is] furbished <04803>, to consume <0398> because < 04616> of the glittering <01300>:

29 Whiles they see <02372> vanity <07723> unto thee, whiles they divine <07080> a lie <03576> unto thee, to bring <05414> thee upon the necks <06677> of [them that are] slain <02491>, of the wicked <07563>, whose <0834> day < 03117> is come <0935>, when <06256> their iniquity < 05771> [shall have] an end <07093>.

30 Shall I cause [it] to return <07725> into his sheath <08593>? I will judge <08199> thee in the place <04725> where <0834> thou wast created <01254>, in the land < 0776> of thy nativity <04351>.

31 And I will pour <08210> out mine indignation < 02195> upon thee, I will blow <06315> against <05921> thee in the fire <0784> of my wrath <05678>, and deliver < 05414> thee into the hand <03027> of brutish <01197> men <0582>, [and] skilful <02796> to destroy <04889>.

32 Thou shalt be for fuel <0402> to the fire <0784>; thy blood <01818> shall be in the midst <08432> of the land <0776>; thou shalt be no <03808> [more] remembered < 02142>: for I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> [it].

Ezekiel 22

1. Moreover the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Now, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, wilt thou judge <08199>, wilt thou judge <08199> the bloody <01818> city <05892>? yea, thou shalt shew <03045> her all < 03605> her abominations <08441>.

3 Then say <0559> thou, Thus <03541> saith < 0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, The city <05892> sheddeth <08210> blood <01818> in the midst <08432> of it, that her time <06256> may come <0935>, and maketh < 06213> idols <01544> against <05921> herself to defile < 02930> herself.

4 Thou art become <0816> guilty <0816> in thy blood <01818> that thou hast shed <08210>; and hast defiled < 02930> thyself in thine idols <01544> which <0834> thou hast made <06213>; and thou hast caused thy days <03117> to draw near <07126>, and art come <0935> [even] unto thy years <08141>: therefore <03651> have I made <05414> thee a reproach <02781> unto the heathen <01471>, and a mocking < 07048> to all <03605> countries <0776>.

5 [Those that be] near <07138>, and [those that be] far <07350> from thee, shall mock <07046> thee, [which art] infamous [and] much <07227> vexed <04103>.

6 Behold <02009>, the princes <05387> of Israel < 03478>, every <0376> one <0376> were in thee to their power <02220> to shed <08210> blood <01818>.

7 In thee have they set light <07043> by father <01> and mother <0517>: in the midst <08432> of thee have they dealt <06213> by oppression <06233> with the stranger < 01616>: in thee have they vexed <03238> the fatherless < 03490> and the widow <0490>.

8 Thou hast despised <0959> mine holy <06944> things, and hast profaned <02490> my sabbaths <07676>.

9 In thee are men <0582> that carry <07400> tales <07400> to shed <08210> blood <01818>: and in thee they eat <0398> upon the mountains <02022>: in the midst < 08432> of thee they commit <06213> lewdness <02154>.

10 In thee have they discovered <01540> their fathers < 01>' nakedness <06172>: in thee have they humbled <06031> her that was set <05079> apart <05079> for pollution < 02931>.

11 And one hath committed <06213> abomination < 08441> with his neighbour's <07453> wife <0802>; and another <0376> hath lewdly <02154> defiled <02930> his daughter <03618> in law <03618>; and another <0376> in thee hath humbled <06031> his sister <0269>, his father's < 01> daughter <01323>.

12 In thee have they taken <03947> gifts <07810> to shed <08210> blood <01818>; thou hast taken <03947> usury <05392> and increase <08635>, and thou hast greedily gained <01214> of thy neighbours <07453> by extortion < 06233>, and hast forgotten <07911> me, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

13 Behold <02009>, therefore I have smitten <05221> mine hand <03079> at <0413> thy dishonest <01215> gain <01214> which <0834> thou hast made <06213>, and at < 05921> thy blood <01818> which <0834> hath been < 01961> in the midst <08432> of thee.

14 Can thine heart <03820> endure <05975>, or can thine hands <03027> be strong <02388>, in the days < 03117> that I shall deal <06213> with thee? I the LORD < 03068> have spoken <01696> [it], and will do <06213> [it].

15 And I will scatter <06327> thee among the heathen < 01471>, and disperse <02219> thee in the countries <0776>, and will consume <08552> thy filthiness <02932> out of thee.

16 And thou shalt take thine inheritance <02490> in thyself in the sight <05869> of the heathen <01471>, and thou shalt know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

17. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

18 Son <01121> of man <0120>, the house < 01004> of Israel <03478> is to me become <01961> dross < 05509>: all <03605> they [are] brass <05178>, and tin < 0913>, and iron <01270>, and lead <05777>, in the midst < 08432> of the furnace <03564>; they are [even] the dross < 05509> of silver <03701>.

19 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Because <03282> ye are all <03605> become <01961> dross <05509>, behold < 02005>, therefore <03651> I will gather <06908> you into <0413> the midst <08432> of Jerusalem <03389>.

20 [As] they gather <06910> silver <03701>, and brass <05178>, and iron <01270>, and lead <05777>, and tin <0913>, into <0413> the midst <08432> of the furnace <03564>, to blow <05301> the fire <0784> upon it, to melt <05413> [it]; so <03651> will I gather <06908> [you] in mine anger <0639> and in my fury <02534>, and I will leave <03241> [you there], and melt <05413> you.

21 Yea, I will gather <03664> you, and blow <05301> upon you in the fire <0784> of my wrath <05678>, and ye shall be melted <05413> in the midst <08432> thereof.

22 As silver <03701> is melted <02046> in the midst <08432> of the furnace <03564>, so <03651> shall ye be melted <05413> in the midst <08432> thereof; and ye shall know <03045> that I the LORD <03068> have poured <08210> out my fury <02534> upon you.

23. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

24 Son <01121> of man <0120>, say <0559> unto her, Thou [art] the land <0776> that is not cleansed <02891>, nor <03808> rained <01656> upon in the day <03117> of indignation <02195>.

25 [There is] a conspiracy <07195> of her prophets < 05030> in the midst <08432> thereof, like a roaring <07580> lion <0738> ravening <02963> the prey <02964>; they have devoured <0398> souls <05315>; they have taken <03947> the treasure <02633> and precious <03366> things; they have made her many <07235> widows <0490> in the midst <08432> thereof.

26 Her priests <03548> have violated <02554> my law <08451>, and have profaned <02490> mine holy <06944> things: they have put no <03808> difference between <0996> the holy <06944> and profane <02455>, neither <03808> have they shewed <03045> [difference] between <0996> the unclean <02931> and the clean <02889>, and have hid <05956> their eyes <05869> from my sabbaths <07676>, and I am profaned <02490> among <08432> them.

27 Her princes <08269> in the midst <07130> thereof [are] like wolves <02061> ravening <02963> the prey < 02964>, to shed <08210> blood <01818>, [and] to destroy < 06> souls <05315>, to get <01214> dishonest <01215> gain <01214>.

28 And her prophets <05030> have daubed <02902> them with untempered <08602> [morter], seeing vanity <07723>, and divining <07080> lies <03576> unto them, saying < 0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, when the LORD <03068> hath not spoken <01696>.

29 The people <05971> of the land <0776> have used oppression <06233>, and exercised robbery <01498>, and have vexed <03238> the poor <06041> and needy <034>: yea, they have oppressed <06231> the stranger <01616> wrongfully.

30 And I sought <01245> for a man <0376> among them, that should make <01443> up the hedge <01447>, and stand < 05975> in the gap <06556> before <06440> me for the land <0776>, that I should not destroy <07843> it: but I found < 04672> none <03808>.

31 Therefore have I poured <08210> out mine indignation <02195> upon them; I have consumed <03615> them with the fire <0784> of my wrath <05678>: their own way <01870> have I recompensed <05414> upon their heads <07218>, saith < 05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 23

1. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came < 01961> again unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, there were two < 08147> women <0802>, the daughters <01121> of one < 0259> mother <0517>:

3 And they committed <02181> whoredoms in Egypt < 04714>; they committed <02181> whoredoms in their youth < 05271>: there <08033> were their breasts <07699> pressed <04600>, and there <08033> they bruised <06213> the teats <01717> of their virginity <01331>.

4 And the names <08034> of them [were] Aholah <0170> the elder <01419>, and Aholibah <0172> her sister <0269> : and they were mine, and they bare <03205> sons <01121> and daughters <01121>. Thus [were] their names <08034>; Samaria <08111> [is] Aholah <0170>, and Jerusalem <03389> Aholibah <0172>.

5 And Aholah <0170> played the harlot <02181> when she was mine; and she doted <05689> on <0413> her lovers < 0157>, on <0413> the Assyrians <0804> [her] neighbours < 07138>,

6 [Which were] clothed <03847> with blue <08504>, captains <06346> and rulers <05461>, all <03605> of them desirable <02531> young <0970> men, horsemen <06571> riding <07392> upon horses <05483>.

7 Thus she committed <05414> her whoredoms <08457> with them, with all them [that were] the chosen <04005> men < 01121> of Assyria <0804>, and with all <03605> on whom < 0834> she doted <05689>: with all <03605> their idols < 01544> she defiled <02930> herself.

8 Neither <03808> left <05800> she her whoredoms <08457> [brought] from Egypt <04714>: for in her youth < 05271> they lay <07901> with her, and they bruised <06213> the breasts <01717> of her virginity <01331>, and poured < 08210> their whoredom <08457> upon her.

9 Wherefore <03651> I have delivered <05414> her into the hand <03027> of her lovers <0157>, into the hand < 03027> of the Assyrians <0804>, upon whom <0834> she doted <05689>.

10 These <01992> discovered <01540> her nakedness <06172>: they took <03947> her sons <01121> and her daughters <01121>, and slew her with the sword <02719>: and she became <01961> famous <08034> among women <0802>; for they had executed <06213> judgment <08196> upon her.

11. And when <03588> her sister <0269> Aholibah < 0172> saw <07200> [this], she was more corrupt <07843> in her inordinate <05691> love <05691> than she, and in her whoredoms <08457> more than her sister <0269> in [her] whoredoms <02183>.

12 She doted <05689> upon the Assyrians <0804> [her] neighbours <07138>, captains <06346> and rulers < 05461> clothed <03847> most gorgeously <04358>, horsemen <06571> riding <07392> upon horses <05483>, all < 03605> of them desirable <02531> young <0970> men.

13 Then I saw <07200> that she was defiled <02930>, [that] they [took] both <08147> one <0259> way <01870>,

14 And [that] she increased <03254> her whoredoms < 08457>: for when she saw <07200> men <0582> pourtrayed < 02707> upon the wall <07023>, the images <06754> of the Chaldeans <03779> pourtrayed <02710> with vermilion < 08350>,

15 Girded <02289> with girdles <0232> upon their loins <04975>, exceeding <05628> in dyed <02871> attire <02871> upon their heads <07218>, all <03605> of them princes <07991> to look <04758> to, after the manner < 01823> of the Babylonians of Chaldea <03778>, the land < 0776> of their nativity <04138>:

16 And as soon <04758> as she saw them with her eyes < 05869>, she doted <05689> upon them, and sent <07971> messengers <04397> unto them into Chaldea <03778>.

17 And the Babylonians came <0935> to her into the bed <04904> of love <01730>, and they defiled <02930> her with their whoredom <08457>, and she was polluted <02930> with them, and her mind <05315> was alienated <03363> from them.

18 So she discovered <01540> her whoredoms <08457>, and discovered <01540> her nakedness <06172>: then my mind < 05315> was alienated <03363> from her, like as my mind < 05315> was alienated <05361> from her sister <0269>.

19 Yet she multiplied <07235> her whoredoms <08457>, in calling <02142> to remembrance <02142> the days < 03117> of her youth <05271>, wherein <0834> she had played the harlot <02181> in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.

20 For she doted <05689> upon their paramours < 06370>, whose flesh <01320> [is as] the flesh <01320> of asses <02543>, and whose issue <02231> [is like] the issue < 02231> of horses <05483>.

21 Thus thou calledst <06485> to remembrance <06485> the lewdness <02154> of thy youth <05271>, in bruising < 06213> thy teats <01717> by the Egyptians <04714> for the paps <07699> of thy youth <05271>.

22. Therefore <03651>, O Aholibah <0172>, thus < 03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I will raise <05782> up thy lovers <0157> against <05921> thee, from whom thy mind <05315> is alienated <05361>, and I will bring <0935> them against <05921> thee on every <05437> side <05439>;

23 The Babylonians, and all <03605> the Chaldeans < 03779>, Pekod <06489>, and Shoa <07772>, and Koa < 06970>, [and] all <03605> the Assyrians <0804> with them: all <03605> of them desirable <02531> young <0970> men, captains <06346> and rulers <05461>, great <07991> lords <07991> and renowned <07121>, all <03605> of them riding <07392> upon horses <05483>.

24 And they shall come <0935> against <05921> thee with chariots <02021>, wagons <07393>, and wheels <01534> , and with an assembly <06951> of people <05971>, [which] shall set <07760> against <05921> thee buckler <06793> and shield <04043> and helmet <06959> round <05439> about: and I will set <05414> judgment <04941> before < 06440> them, and they shall judge <08199> thee according to their judgments <04941>.

25 And I will set <05414> my jealousy <07068> against thee, and they shall deal <06213> furiously <02534> with thee: they shall take <05493> away <05493> thy nose < 0639> and thine ears <0241>; and thy remnant <0319> shall fall <05307> by the sword <02719>: they shall take < 03947> thy sons <01121> and thy daughters <01121>; and thy residue <0319> shall be devoured <0398> by the fire < 0784>.

26 They shall also strip <06584> thee out of thy clothes <0899>, and take <03947> away thy fair <08597> jewels <03627>.

27 Thus will I make thy lewdness <02154> to cease < 07673> from thee, and thy whoredom <02184> [brought] from the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>: so that thou shalt not lift < 05375> up thine eyes <05869> unto them, nor <03808> remember <02142> Egypt <04714> any more <05750>.

28 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I will deliver < 05414> thee into the hand <03027> [of them] whom <0834> thou hatest <08130>, into the hand <03027> [of them] from whom <0834> thy mind <05315> is alienated <05361>:

29 And they shall deal <06213> with thee hatefully < 08135>, and shall take <03947> away all <03605> thy labour <03018>, and shall leave <05800> thee naked <05903> and bare <06181>: and the nakedness <06172> of thy whoredoms < 02183> shall be discovered <01540>, both thy lewdness < 02154> and thy whoredoms <08457>.

30 I will do <06213> these <0428> [things] unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring <02181> after <0310> the heathen <01471>, [and] because thou art polluted <02930> with their idols <01544>.

31 Thou hast walked <01980> in the way <01870> of thy sister <0269>; therefore will I give <05414> her cup < 03563> into thine hand <03027>.

32 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Thou shalt drink <08354> of thy sister's < 0269> cup <03563> deep <06013> and large <07342>: thou shalt be laughed <06712> to scorn and had in derision < 03932>; it containeth <03557> much <04767>.

33 Thou shalt be filled <04390> with drunkenness < 07943> and sorrow <03015>, with the cup <03563> of astonishment <08047> and desolation <08077>, with the cup < 03563> of thy sister <0269> Samaria <08111>.

34 Thou shalt even drink <08354> it and suck <04680> [it] out, and thou shalt break <01633> the sherds <02789> thereof, and pluck <05423> off thine own breasts <07699>: for I have spoken <01696> [it], saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

35 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Because <03282> thou hast forgotten <07911> me, and cast <07998> me behind <0310> thy back <01458>, therefore bear <05375> thou also < 01571> thy lewdness <02154> and thy whoredoms <08457>.

36. The LORD <03068> said <0559> moreover unto me; Son <01121> of man <0120>, wilt thou judge <08199> Aholah <0170> and Aholibah <0172>? yea, declare <05046> unto them their abominations <08441>;

37 That they have committed <05003> adultery <05003> , and blood <01818> [is] in their hands <03027>, and with their idols <01544> have they committed <05003> adultery < 05003>, and have also <01571> caused their sons <01121>, whom <0834> they bare <03205> unto me, to pass <05674> for them through [the fire], to devour <0402> [them].

38 Moreover <05750> this <02063> they have done < 06213> unto me: they have defiled <02930> my sanctuary < 04720> in the same <01931> day <03117>, and have profaned <02490> my sabbaths <07676>.

39 For when they had slain <07819> their children < 01121> to their idols <01544>, then they came <0935> the same <01931> day <03117> into <0413> my sanctuary < 04720> to profane <02490> it; and, lo <02009>, thus < 03541> have they done <06213> in the midst <08432> of mine house <01004>.

40 And furthermore <0637>, that ye have sent <07971> for men <0582> to come <0935> from far <04801>, unto whom a messenger <04397> [was] sent <07971>; and, lo < 02009>, they came <0935>: for whom <0834> thou didst wash <07364> thyself, paintedst <03583> thy eyes <05869>, and deckedst <05710> thyself with ornaments <05716>,

41 And satest <03427> upon a stately <03520> bed <04296>, and a table <07979> prepared <06186> before < 06440> it, whereupon <05921> thou hast set <07760> mine incense <07004> and mine oil <08081>.

42 And a voice <06963> of a multitude <01995> being at ease <07961> [was] with her: and with the men <0582> of the common <07230> sort [were] brought <0935> Sabeans <05433> from the wilderness <04057>, which put <05414> bracelets < 06781> upon their hands <03027>, and beautiful <08597> crowns <05850> upon their heads <07218>.

43 Then said <0559> I unto [her that was] old < 01087> in adulteries <05004>, Will they now <06258> commit <02181> whoredoms <08457> with her, and she [with them]?

44 Yet they went <0935> in unto her, as they go < 0935> in unto a woman <0802> that playeth the harlot <02181> : so <03651> went <0935> they in unto Aholah <0170> and unto Aholibah <0172>, the lewd <02154> women <0802>.

45 And the righteous <06662> men <0582>, they shall judge <08199> them after the manner <04941> of adulteresses <05003>, and after the manner <04941> of women that shed < 08210> blood <01818>; because <03588> they [are] adulteresses <05003>, and blood <01818> [is] in their hands <03027>.

46 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>; I will bring <05927> up a company < 06951> upon them, and will give <05414> them to be removed < 02189> and spoiled <0957>.

47 And the company <06951> shall stone <07275> them with stones <068>, and dispatch <01254> them with their swords <02719>; they shall slay <04191> their sons <01121> and their daughters <01121>, and burn <08313> up their houses < 01004> with fire <0784>.

48 Thus will I cause lewdness <02154> to cease < 07673> out of the land <0776>, that all <03605> women < 0802> may be taught <03256> not to do <06213> after < 0310> your lewdness <02154>.

49 And they shall recompense <05414> your lewdness < 02154> upon you, and ye shall bear <05375> the sins <02399> of your idols <01544>: and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 24

1. Again in the ninth <08671> year <08141>, in the tenth <06224> month <02320>, in the tenth <06218> [day] of the month <02320>, the word <01697> of the LORD < 03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, write <03789> thee the name <08034> of the day <03117>, [even] of this < 02088> same <06106> day <03117>: the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> set <05564> himself against <0413> Jerusalem <03389> this <02088> same <06106> day < 03117>.

3 And utter <04911> a parable <04912> unto the rebellious <04805> house <01004>, and say <0559> unto them, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD < 03069>; Set <08239> on a pot <05518>, set <08239> [it] on, and also <01571> pour <03332> water <04325> into it:

4 Gather <0622> the pieces <05409> thereof into it, [even] every <03605> good <02896> piece <05409>, the thigh <03409>, and the shoulder <03802>; fill <04390> [it] with the choice <04005> bones <06106>.

5 Take <03947> the choice <04005> of the flock < 06629>, and burn <01754> also <01571> the bones < 06106> under <08478> it, [and] make it boil <07570> well <07571>, and let them seethe <01310> the bones <06106> of it therein <08432>.

6 Wherefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Woe <0188> to the bloody <01818> city <05892>, to the pot <05518> whose < 0834> scum <02457> [is] therein, and whose scum <02457> is not gone <03318> out of it! bring <03318> it out piece < 05409> by piece <05409>; let no <03808> lot <01486> fall <05307> upon it.

7 For her blood <01818> is in the midst <08432> of her; she set <07760> it upon the top <06706> of a rock < 05553>; she poured <08210> it not upon the ground <0776>, to cover <03680> it with dust <06083>;

8 That it might cause fury <02534> to come <05927> up to take vengeance <05359>; I have set <05414> her blood < 01818> upon the top <06706> of a rock <05553>, that it should not be covered <03680>.

9 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Woe <0188> to the bloody <01818> city <05892>! I will even make the pile <04071> for fire great <01431>.

10 Heap <07235> on wood <06086>, kindle < 01814> the fire <0784>, consume <08552> the flesh < 01320>, and spice <07543> it well, and let the bones <06106> be burned <02787>.

11 Then set <05975> it empty <07385> upon the coals <01513> thereof, that the brass <05178> of it may be hot < 03179>, and may burn <02787>, and [that] the filthiness < 02932> of it may be molten <05413> in it, [that] the scum < 02457> of it may be consumed <08552>.

12 She hath wearied <03811> [herself] with lies < 08383>, and her great <07227> scum <02457> went < 03318> not forth <03318> out of her: her scum <02457> [shall be] in the fire <0784>.

13 In thy filthiness <02932> [is] lewdness <02154>: because <03282> I have purged <02891> thee, and thou wast not purged <02891>, thou shalt not be purged <02891> from thy filthiness <02932> any more <05750>, till <05704> I have caused my fury <02534> to rest <05117> upon thee.

14 I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> [it]: it shall come <0835> to pass, and I will do <06213> [it]; I will not go <06544> back <06544>, neither <03808> will I spare <02347>, neither <03808> will I repent <05162>; according to thy ways <01870>, and according to thy doings < 05949>, shall they judge <08199> thee, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

15. Also the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

16 Son <01121> of man <0120>, behold <02005>, I take <03947> away from thee the desire <04261> of thine eyes <05869> with a stroke <04046>: yet neither <03808> shalt thou mourn <05594> nor <03808> weep <01058>, neither < 03808> shall thy tears <01832> run <0935> down.

17 Forbear <01826> to cry <0602>, make <06213> no <03808> mourning <060> for the dead <04191>, bind <02280> the tire <06287> of thine head upon thee, and put < 07760> on thy shoes <05275> upon thy feet <07272>, and cover <05844> not [thy] lips <08222>, and eat <0398> not the bread <03899> of men <0582>.

18 So I spake <01696> unto the people <05971> in the morning <01242>: and at even <06153> my wife <0802> died <04191>; and I did <06213> in the morning <01242> as I was commanded <06680>.

19 And the people <05971> said <0559> unto me, Wilt thou not tell <05046> us what <04100> these <0428> [things are] to us, that thou doest <06213> [so]?

20 Then I answered <0559> them, The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

21 Speak <0559> unto the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I will profane <02490> my sanctuary <04720>, the excellency <01347> of your strength < 05797>, the desire <04261> of your eyes <05869>, and that which your soul <05315> pitieth <04263>; and your sons < 01121> and your daughters <01121> whom <0834> ye have left <05800> shall fall <05307> by the sword <02719>.

22 And ye shall do <06213> as I have done <06213>: ye shall not cover <05844> [your] lips <08222>, nor < 03808> eat <0398> the bread <03899> of men <0582>.

23 And your tires <06287> [shall be] upon your heads < 07218>, and your shoes <05275> upon your feet <07272>: ye shall not mourn <05594> nor <03808> weep <01058>; but ye shall pine <04743> away for your iniquities <05771>, and mourn <05098> one <0376> toward <0413> another <0250>.

24 Thus Ezekiel <03168> is unto you a sign <04159>: according to all <03605> that he hath done <06213> shall ye do <06213>: and when this cometh <0935>, ye shall know < 03045> that I [am] the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

25 Also, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, [shall it] not [be] in the day <03117> when I take <03947> from them their strength <04581>, the joy <04885> of their glory < 08597>, the desire <04261> of their eyes <05869>, and that whereupon they set <04853> their minds <05315>, their sons < 01121> and their daughters <01121>,

26 [That] he that escapeth <06412> in that day < 03117> shall come <0835> unto thee, to cause [thee] to hear < 02045> [it] with [thine] ears <0241>?

27 In that day <03117> shall thy mouth <06310> be opened <06605> to him which is escaped <06412>, and thou shalt speak <01696>, and be no <03808> more <05750> dumb < 0481>: and thou shalt be a sign <04159> unto them; and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

Ezekiel 25

1. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came < 01961> again unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, set <07760> thy face <06440> against <0413> the Ammonites <05984>, and prophesy <05012> against <05921> them;

3 And say <0559> unto the Ammonites <05984>, Hear <08085> the word <01697> of the Lord <0136> GOD < 03069>; Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Because <03282> thou saidst <0559>, Aha < 0253>, against <0413> my sanctuary <04720>, when < 03588> it was profaned <02490>; and against <0413> the land <0127> of Israel <03478>, when <03588> it was desolate <08074>; and against <0413> the house <01004> of Judah <03063>, when <03588> they went into captivity <01473>;

4 Behold <02005>, therefore <03651> I will deliver <05414> thee to the men <01121> of the east <06924> for a possession <04181>, and they shall set <03427> their palaces <02918> in thee, and make <05414> their dwellings <04908> in thee: they shall eat <0398> thy fruit <06529>, and they shall drink <08354> thy milk <02461>.

5 And I will make <05414> Rabbah <07237> a stable <05116> for camels <01581>, and the Ammonites <05984> a couchingplace <04769> for flocks <06629>: and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

6 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>; Because <03282> thou hast clapped < 04222> [thine] hands <03027>, and stamped <07554> with the feet <07272>, and rejoiced <08055> in heart <05315> with all <03605> thy despite <07589> against <0413> the land <0127> of Israel <03478>;

7 Behold <02005>, therefore <03651> I will stretch <05186> out mine hand <03027> upon thee, and will deliver < 05414> thee for a spoil <0957> to the heathen <01471>; and I will cut <03772> thee off from the people <05971>, and I will cause thee to perish <06> out of the countries <0776>: I will destroy <08045> thee; and thou shalt know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

8. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Because <03282> that Moab <04124> and Seir <08165> do say <0559>, Behold <02009>, the house < 01004> of Judah <03063> [is] like unto all <03605> the heathen <01471>;

9 Therefore <03651>, behold <02005>, I will open <06605> the side <03802> of Moab <04124> from the cities <05892>, from his cities <05892> [which are] on his frontiers <07097>, the glory <06643> of the country <0776>, Bethjeshimoth <01020>, Baalmeon <01186>, and Kiriathaim < 07156>,

10 Unto the men <01121> of the east <06924> with the Ammonites <05984>, and will give <05414> them in possession <04181>, that the Ammonites <05984> may not be remembered <02142> among the nations <01471>.

11 And I will execute <06213> judgments <08201> upon Moab <04124>; and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

12 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Because <03282> that Edom <0123> hath dealt <06213> against the house <01004> of Judah <03063> by taking vengeance <05359>, and hath greatly offended <0816>, and revenged <05358> himself upon them;

13 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I will also stretch <05186> out mine hand <03027> upon Edom <0123>, and will cut < 03772> off man <0120> and beast <0929> from it; and I will make <05414> it desolate <02723> from Teman <08487>; and they of Dedan <01719> shall fall <05307> by the sword < 02719>.

14 And I will lay <05414> my vengeance <05360> upon Edom <0123> by the hand <03027> of my people <05971> Israel <03478>: and they shall do <06213> in Edom <0123> according to mine anger <0639> and according to my fury <02534> ; and they shall know <03045> my vengeance <05360>, saith < 05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

15 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Because <03282> the Philistines <06430> have dealt <06213> by revenge <05360>, and have taken vengeance <05359> with a despiteful <07589> heart <05315> , to destroy <04889> [it] for the old <05769> hatred < 0342>;

16 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I will stretch <05186> out mine hand <03027> upon the Philistines < 06430>, and I will cut <03772> off the Cherethims <03774>, and destroy <09> the remnant <07611> of the sea <03220> coast <02348>.

17 And I will execute <06213> great <01419> vengeance <05360> upon them with furious <02534> rebukes < 08433>; and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD < 03068>, when I shall lay <05414> my vengeance <05360> upon them.

Ezekiel 26

1. And it came <01961> to pass in the eleventh year < 08141>, in the first <0259> [day] of the month <02320>, [that] the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, because <03282> that Tyrus <06865> hath said <0559> against <05921> Jerusalem <03389>, Aha <0253>, she is broken <07665> [that was] the gates <01817> of the people <05971>: she is turned <05437> unto me: I shall be replenished <04390>, [now] she is laid waste <02717>:

3 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I [am] against <05921> thee, O Tyrus <06865>, and will cause many < 07227> nations <01471> to come <05927> up against < 05921> thee, as the sea <03220> causeth his waves <01530> to come <05927> up.

4 And they shall destroy <07843> the walls <02346> of Tyrus <06865>, and break <02040> down <02040> her towers <04026>: I will also scrape <05500> her dust < 06083> from her, and make <05414> her like the top <06706> of a rock <05553>.

5 It shall be [a place for] the spreading <04894> of nets <02764> in the midst <08432> of the sea <03220>: for I have spoken <01696> [it], saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>: and it shall become <01961> a spoil <0957> to the nations <01471>.

6 And her daughters <01121> which <0834> [are] in the field <07704> shall be slain <02026> by the sword < 02719>; and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD < 03068>.

7 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I will bring <0935> upon Tyrus <06865> Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, a king <04428> of kings <04428>, from the north <06828>, with horses <05483>, and with chariots < 07393>, and with horsemen <06571>, and companies <06951>, and much <07227> people <05971>.

8 He shall slay <04191> with the sword <02719> thy daughters <01121> in the field <07704>: and he shall make < 05414> a fort <01785> against <05921> thee, and cast < 08210> a mount <05550> against <05921> thee, and lift < 06965> up the buckler <06793> against <05921> thee.

9 And he shall set <05414> engines <04239> of war <06904> against thy walls <02346>, and with his axes < 02719> he shall break <05422> down <05422> thy towers < 04026>.

10 By reason of the abundance <08229> of his horses < 05483> their dust <080> shall cover <03680> thee: thy walls <02346> shall shake <07493> at the noise <06963> of the horsemen <06571>, and of the wheels <01534>, and of the chariots <07393>, when he shall enter <0935> into thy gates <08179>, as men enter <0935> into a city <05892> wherein is made a breach <01234>.

11 With the hoofs <06541> of his horses <05483> shall he tread <07429> down all <03605> thy streets < 02351>: he shall slay <04191> thy people <05971> by the sword <02719>, and thy strong <05797> garrisons <04676> shall go <03381> down <03381> to the ground <0776>.

12 And they shall make <05414> a spoil <07997> of thy riches <02428>, and make a prey <0962> of thy merchandise <07404>: and they shall break <02040> down <02040> thy walls <02346>, and destroy <05422> thy pleasant <02532> houses <01004>: and they shall lay <07760> thy stones < 068> and thy timber <06086> and thy dust <06083> in the midst <08432> of the water <04325>.

13 And I will cause the noise <01995> of thy songs < 07892> to cease <07673>; and the sound <06963> of thy harps <03658> shall be no <03808> more <05750> heard < 08085>.

14 And I will make thee like the top <06706> of a rock <05558>: thou shalt be [a place] to spread <04894> nets < 02764> upon; thou shalt be built <01129> no <03808> more <05750>: for I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> [it], saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

15. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> to Tyrus <06865>; Shall not the isles <0339> shake <07493> at the sound <06963> of thy fall <04658>, when the wounded <02491> cry <0602>, when the slaughter < 02027> is made in the midst <08432> of thee?

16 Then all <03605> the princes <05387> of the sea <03220> shall come <03381> down <03381> from their thrones <03678>, and lay <05493> away <05493> their robes <04598>, and put <06584> off their broidered < 07553> garments <0899>: they shall clothe <03847> themselves with trembling <02731>; they shall sit <03427> upon the ground <0776>, and shall tremble <02729> at [every] moment <07281>, and be astonished <08074> at thee.

17 And they shall take <05375> up a lamentation < 07015> for thee, and say <0559> to thee, How <0349> art thou destroyed <06>, [that wast] inhabited <03427> of seafaring <03220> men, the renowned <01984> city <05892>, which <0834> wast strong <02389> in the sea <03220>, she and her inhabitants <03427>, which <0834> cause < 05414> their terror <02851> [to be] on all <03605> that haunt <03427> it!

18 Now <06258> shall the isles <0339> tremble < 02729> in the day <03117> of thy fall <04658>; yea, the isles <0339> that [are] in the sea <03220> shall be troubled <0926> at thy departure <03318>.

19 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>; When I shall make <05414> thee a desolate <02717> city <05892>, like the cities <05892> that are not inhabited <03427>; when I shall bring <05927> up the deep <08415> upon thee, and great <07227> waters < 04325> shall cover <03680> thee;

20 When I shall bring <03381> thee down <03381> with them that descend <03381> into the pit <0953>, with the people <05971> of old <05769> time, and shall set <03427> thee in the low <08482> parts of the earth <0776>, in places desolate <02723> of old <05769>, with them that go < 03381> down <03381> to the pit <0953>, that thou be not inhabited <03427>; and I shall set <05414> glory <06643> in the land <0776> of the living <02416>;

21 I will make <05414> thee a terror <01091>, and thou [shalt be] no <0369> [more]: though thou be sought <01245> for, yet shalt thou never be found <04672> again <05750>, saith <05001> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 27

1. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came < 01961> again unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Now, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, take < 05375> up a lamentation <07015> for Tyrus <06865>;

3 And say <0559> unto Tyrus <06865>, O thou that art situate <03427> at <05921> the entry <03996> of the sea <03220>, [which art] a merchant <07402> of the people < 05971> for many <07227> isles <0339>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; O Tyrus < 06865>, thou hast said <0559>, I [am] of perfect <03632> beauty <03308>.

4 Thy borders <01366> [are] in the midst <03820> of the seas <03220>, thy builders <01129> have perfected < 03634> thy beauty <03308>.

5 They have made <01129> all <03605> thy [ship] boards <03871> of fir <01265> trees of Senir <08149>: they have taken <03947> cedars <0730> from Lebanon < 03844> to make <06213> masts <08650> for thee.

6 [Of] the oaks <0437> of Bashan <01316> have they made <06213> thine oars <04880>; the company <01323> of the Ashurites <0843> have made <06213> thy benches < 07175> [of] ivory <08127>, [brought] out of the isles <0339> of Chittim <03794>.

7 Fine linen <08336> with broidered <07553> work <07553> from Egypt <04714> was that which thou spreadest < 04666> forth to be thy sail <05251>; blue <08504> and purple <0713> from the isles <0339> of Elishah <0473> was that which covered <04374> thee.

8 The inhabitants <03427> of Zidon <06721> and Arvad <0719> were thy mariners <07751>: thy wise <02450> [men], O Tyrus <06865>, [that] were in thee, were thy pilots < 02259>.

9 The ancients <02204> of Gebal <01381> and the wise <02450> [men] thereof were in thee thy calkers: all < 03605> the ships <0591> of the sea <03220> with their mariners <04419> were in thee to occupy <06148> thy merchandise <04627>.

10 They of Persia <06539> and of Lud <03865> and of Phut <06316> were in thine army <02428>, thy men <0582> of war <04421>: they hanged <08518> the shield <04043> and helmet <03553> in thee; they set <05414> forth thy comeliness <01926>.

11 The men <01121> of Arvad <0719> with thine army <02428> [were] upon thy walls <02346> round <05439> about, and the Gammadims <01575> were in thy towers <04026>: they hanged <08518> their shields <07982> upon thy walls < 02346> round <05439> about; they have made <06213> thy beauty <03308> perfect <03634>.

12 Tarshish <08659> [was] thy merchant <05503> by reason of the multitude <07230> of all <03605> [kind of] riches <01952>; with silver <03701>, iron <01270>, tin <0913>, and lead <05777>, they traded <05414> in thy fairs <05801>.

15 The men <01121> of Dedan <01719> [were] thy merchants <07402>; many <07227> isles <0339> [were] the merchandise <05506> of thine hand <03027>: they brought < 07725> thee [for] a present <0814> horns <07161> of ivory <08127> and ebony <01894>.

16 Syria <0758> [was] thy merchant <05503> by reason of the multitude <07230> of the wares <04639> of thy making <04639>: they occupied <05414> in thy fairs < 05801> with emeralds <05306>, purple <0713>, and broidered <07553> work <07553>, and fine linen <0948>, and coral <07215>, and agate <03539>.

17 Judah <03063>, and the land <0776> of Israel < 03478>, they [were] thy merchants <07402>: they traded < 05414> in thy market <04627> wheat <02406> of Minnith < 04511>, and Pannag <06436>, and honey <01706>, and oil < 08081>, and balm <06875>.

18 Damascus <01834> [was] thy merchant <05503> in the multitude <07230> of the wares <04639> of thy making < 04639>, for the multitude <07230> of all <03605> riches < 01952>; in the wine <03196> of Helbon <02463>, and white <06713> wool <06785>.

19 Dan <01835> also and Javan <03120> going < 0235> to and fro <0235> occupied <05414> in thy fairs < 05801>: bright <06219> iron <01270>, cassia <06916>, and calamus <07070>, were in thy market <04627>.

20 Dedan <01719> [was] thy merchant <07402> in precious <02667> clothes <0899> for chariots <07396>.

21 Arabia <06152>, and all <03605> the princes < 05387> of Kedar <06938>, they occupied <05503> with thee in lambs <03733>, and rams <0352>, and goats <06260>: in these [were they] thy merchants <05503>.

22 The merchants <07402> of Sheba <07614> and Raamah <07484>, they [were] thy merchants <07402>: they occupied <05414> in thy fairs <05801> with chief <07218> of all <03605> spices <01314>, and with all <03605> precious <03368> stones <068>, and gold <02091>.

23 Haran <02771>, and Canneh <03656>, and Eden < 05731>, the merchants <07402> of Sheba <07614>, Asshur < 0804>, [and] Chilmad <03638>, [were] thy merchants <07402>.

24 These <01992> [were] thy merchants <07402> in all <03605> sorts <04360> [of things], in blue <08504> clothes <01545>, and broidered <07553> work <07553>, and in chests <01595> of rich apparel <01264>, bound <02280> with cords <02256>, and made of cedar <0729>, among thy merchandise <04819>.

25 The ships <0591> of Tarshish <08659> did sing <07788> of thee in thy market <04627>: and thou wast replenished <04390>, and made very <03966> glorious < 03519> in the midst <03820> of the seas <03220>.

26. Thy rowers <07751> have brought <0935> thee into great <07227> waters <04325>: the east <06921> wind < 07307> hath broken <07665> thee in the midst <03820> of the seas <03220>.

27 Thy riches <01952>, and thy fairs <05801>, thy merchandise <04627>, thy mariners <04419>, and thy pilots < 02259>, thy calkers, and the occupiers <06148> of thy merchandise <04267>, and all <03605> thy men <0582> of war < 04421>, that [are] in thee, and in all <03605> thy company < 06951> which <0834> [is] in the midst <08432> of thee, shall fall <05307> into the midst <03820> of the seas < 03220> in the day <03117> of thy ruin <04658>.

28 The suburbs <04054> shall shake <07493> at the sound <06963> of the cry <02201> of thy pilots <02259>.

29 And all <03605> that handle <08610> the oar < 04880>, the mariners <04419>, [and] all <03605> the pilots <02259> of the sea <03220>, shall come <03381> down < 03381> from their ships <0591>, they shall stand <05975> upon the land <0776>;

30 And shall cause their voice <06963> to be heard < 08085> against <05921> thee, and shall cry <02199> bitterly <04751>, and shall cast <05927> up dust <06083> upon their heads <07218>, they shall wallow <06428> themselves in the ashes <0665>:

31 And they shall make themselves utterly bald <07139> for thee, and gird <02296> them with sackcloth <08242>, and they shall weep <01058> for thee with bitterness <04751> of heart <05315> [and] bitter <04751> wailing <04553>.

32 And in their wailing <05204> they shall take < 05375> up a lamentation <07015> for thee, and lament <06969> over <05921> thee, [saying], What <04100> [city is] like Tyrus <06865>, like the destroyed <01822> in the midst < 08432> of the sea <03220>?

33 When thy wares <05801> went <03318> forth < 03318> out of the seas <03220>, thou filledst <07646> many <07227> people <05971>; thou didst enrich <06238> the kings <04428> of the earth <0776> with the multitude < 07230> of thy riches <06239> and of thy merchandise <04627>.

34 In the time <06256> [when] thou shalt be broken < 07665> by the seas <03220> in the depths <04615> of the waters <04325> thy merchandise <04627> and all <03605> thy company <06951> in the midst <08432> of thee shall fall <05307>.

35 All <03605> the inhabitants <03427> of the isles <0339> shall be astonished <08074> at <05921> thee, and their kings <04428> shall be sore <08178> afraid <08175>, they shall be troubled <07481> in [their] countenance <06440>.

36 The merchants <05503> among the people <05971> shall hiss <08319> at <05921> thee; thou shalt be a terror < 01091>, and never [shalt be] any more.

Ezekiel 28

1. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came < 01961> again unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, say <0559> unto the prince <05057> of Tyrus <06865>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Because <03282> thine heart <03820> [is] lifted <01361> up, and thou hast said <0559>, I [am] a God <0410>, I sit <03427> [in] the seat <04186> of God <0430>, in the midst <03820> of the seas <03220>; yet thou [art] a man <0120>, and not God < 0410>, though thou set <05414> thine heart <03820> as the heart <03820> of God <0430>:

3 Behold <02009>, thou [art] wiser <02450> than Daniel <01840>; there is no <03808> secret <05640> that they can hide <06004> from thee:

4 With thy wisdom <02451> and with thine understanding <08394> thou hast gotten <06213> thee riches <02428>, and hast gotten <06213> gold <02091> and silver <03701> into thy treasures <0214>:

5 By thy great <07230> wisdom <02451> [and] by thy traffick <07404> hast thou increased <07235> thy riches < 02428>, and thine heart <03824> is lifted <01361> up because of thy riches <02428>:

6 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Because <03282> thou hast set <05414> thine heart <03820> as the heart <03820> of God <0430>;

7 Behold <02005>, therefore <03651> I will bring <0935> strangers <02114> upon thee, the terrible <06184> of the nations <01471>: and they shall draw <07324> their swords <02719> against <05921> the beauty <03308> of thy wisdom <02451>, and they shall defile <02490> thy brightness <03314>.

8 They shall bring <03381> thee down <03381> to the pit <07845>, and thou shalt die <04191> the deaths < 04463> of [them that are] slain <02491> in the midst <03820> of the seas <03220>.

9 Wilt thou yet <0559> say <0559> before < 06440> him that slayeth <02026> thee, I [am] God <0430>? but thou [shalt be] a man <0120>, and no <03808> God < 0410>, in the hand <03027> of him that slayeth <02490> thee.

10 Thou shalt die <04191> the deaths <04194> of the uncircumcised <06189> by the hand <03027> of strangers < 02114>: for I have spoken <01696> [it], saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

11. Moreover the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

12 Son <01121> of man <0120>, take <05375> up a lamentation <07015> upon the king <04428> of Tyrus < 06865>, and say <0559> unto him, Thus <03541> saith < 0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Thou sealest < 02856> up the sum <08508>, full <04392> of wisdom < 02451>, and perfect <03632> in beauty <03308>.

13 Thou hast been <01961> in Eden <05731> the garden <01588> of God <0430>; every <03605> precious < 03368> stone <068> [was] thy covering <04540>, the sardius <0124>, topaz <06357>, and the diamond <03095>, the beryl <08658>, the onyx <07718>, and the jasper <03471>, the sapphire <05601>, the emerald <05306>, and the carbuncle <01304>, and gold <02091>: the workmanship <04399> of thy tabrets <08596> and of thy pipes <05345> was prepared < 03559> in thee in the day <03117> that thou wast created < 01254>.

14 Thou [art] the anointed <04473> cherub <03742> that covereth <05526>; and I have set <05414> thee [so]: thou wast <01961> upon the holy <06944> mountain <02022> of God <0430>; thou hast walked <01980> up and down in the midst <08432> of the stones <068> of fire <0784>.

15 Thou [wast] perfect <08549> in thy ways <01870> from the day <03117> that thou wast created <01254>, till < 05704> iniquity <05766> was found <04672> in thee.

16 By the multitude <07230> of thy merchandise < 07404> they have filled <04390> the midst <08432> of thee with violence <02555>, and thou hast sinned <02398>: therefore I will cast <02490> thee as profane <02490> out of the mountain <02022> of God <0430>: and I will destroy <06> thee, O covering <05526> cherub <03742>, from the midst < 08432> of the stones <068> of fire <0784>.

17 Thine heart <03820> was lifted <01361> up because of thy beauty <03308>, thou hast corrupted <07843> thy wisdom <02451> by reason <05921> of thy brightness < 03314>: I will cast <07993> thee to the ground <0776>, I will lay <05414> thee before <06440> kings <04428>, that they may behold <07200> thee.

18 Thou hast defiled <02490> thy sanctuaries <04720> by the multitude <07230> of thine iniquities <05771>, by the iniquity <05766> of thy traffick <07404>; therefore will I bring <03318> forth <03318> a fire <0784> from the midst <08432> of thee, it shall devour <0398> thee, and I will bring <05414> thee to ashes <0665> upon the earth <0776> in the sight <05869> of all <03605> them that behold <07200> thee.

19 All <03605> they that know <03045> thee among the people <05971> shall be astonished <08074> at <05921> thee: thou shalt be a terror <01091>, and never [shalt] thou [be] any more.

20. Again the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

21 Son <01121> of man <0120>, set <07760> thy face <06440> against <05921> Zidon <06721>, and prophesy <05012> against <05921> it,

22 And say <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I [am] against <05921> thee, O Zidon <06721>; and I will be glorified <03513> in the midst <08432> of thee: and they shall know < 03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>, when I shall have executed <06213> judgments <08201> in her, and shall be sanctified < 06942> in her.

23 For I will send <07971> into her pestilence < 01698>, and blood <01818> into her streets <07339>; and the wounded <02491> shall be judged <05307> in the midst < 08432> of her by the sword <02719> upon her on every <05437> side <05439>; and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

24 And there shall be no <03808> more <05750> a pricking <03992> brier <05544> unto the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, nor [any] grieving <03510> thorn <06975> of all <03605> [that are] round <05439> about them, that despised <07590> them; and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

25 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; When I shall have gathered <06908> the house < 01004> of Israel <03478> from the people <05971> among whom <0834> they are scattered <06327>, and shall be sanctified < 06942> in them in the sight <05869> of the heathen <01471>, then shall they dwell <03427> in their land <0127> that I have given <05414> to my servant <05650> Jacob <03290>.

26 And they shall dwell <03427> safely <0983> therein <05921>, and shall build <01129> houses <01004>, and plant <05193> vineyards <03754>; yea, they shall dwell < 03427> with confidence <0983>, when I have executed <06213> judgments <08201> upon all <03605> those that despise < 07590> them round <05439> about them; and they shall know < 03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068> their God <0430>.

Ezekiel 29

1. In the tenth <06224> year <08141>, in the tenth <06224> [month], in the twelfth [day] of the month <02320>, the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, set <07760> thy face <06440> against <05921> Pharaoh <06547> king < 04428> of Egypt <04714>, and prophesy <05012> against < 05921> him, and against <05921> all <03605> Egypt < 04714>:

3 Speak <01696>, and say <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold < 02005>, I [am] against <05921> thee, Pharaoh <06547> king <04428> of Egypt <04714>, the great <01419> dragon < 08577> that lieth <06437> in the midst <08432> of his rivers <02975>, which hath said <0559>, My river <02975> [is] mine own, and I have made <06213> [it] for myself.

4 But I will put <05414> hooks <02397> in thy jaws <03895>, and I will cause the fish <01710> of thy rivers < 02975> to stick <01692> unto thy scales <07193>, and I will bring <05927> thee up out of the midst <08432> of thy rivers <02975>, and all <03605> the fish <01710> of thy rivers <02975> shall stick <01692> unto thy scales <07193>.

5 And I will leave <05203> thee [thrown] into the wilderness <04057>, thee and all <03605> the fish <01710> of thy rivers <02975>: thou shalt fall <05307> upon the open <06440> fields <07704>; thou shalt not be brought <0622> together, nor <03808> gathered <06908>: I have given < 05414> thee for meat <0402> to the beasts <02416> of the field <0776> and to the fowls <05775> of the heaven < 08064>.

6 And all <03605> the inhabitants <03427> of Egypt <04714> shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>, because <03282> they have been <01961> a staff <04938> of reed <07070> to the house <01004> of Israel <03478>.

7 When they took <08610> hold <08610> of thee by thy hand <03709>, thou didst break <07533>, and rend < 01234> all <03605> their shoulder <03802>: and when they leaned <08172> upon thee, thou brakest <07665>, and madest all <03605> their loins <04975> to be at a stand <05976>.

8. Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I will bring <0935> a sword <02719> upon thee, and cut <03772> off man <0120> and beast <0929> out of thee.

9 And the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> shall be desolate <08077> and waste <02723>; and they shall know < 03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>: because <03282> he hath said <0559>, The river <02975> [is] mine, and I have made <06213> [it].

10 Behold <02005>, therefore <03651> I [am] against <0413> thee, and against <0413> thy rivers <02975>, and I will make <05414> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> utterly waste <02723> [and] desolate <08077>, from the tower <04024> of Syene <05482> even unto the border <01366> of Ethiopia <03568>.

11 No <03808> foot <07272> of man <0120> shall pass <05674> through it, nor <03808> foot <07272> of beast <0929> shall pass <05674> through it, neither < 03808> shall it be inhabited <03427> forty <0705> years < 08141>.

12 And I will make <05414> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> desolate <08077> in the midst <08432> of the countries <0776> [that are] desolate <08074>, and her cities <05892> among <08432> the cities <05892> [that are] laid waste <02717> shall be desolate <08077> forty <0705> years <08141>: and I will scatter <06327> the Egyptians < 04714> among the nations <01471>, and will disperse <02219> them through the countries <0776>.

13 Yet <03588> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; At the end <07093> of forty < 0705> years <08141> will I gather <06908> the Egyptians < 04714> from the people <05971> whither they were scattered < 06327>:

14 And I will bring <07725> again <07725> the captivity <07622> of Egypt <04714>, and will cause them to return <07725> [into] the land <0776> of Pathros <06624>, into <05921> the land <0776> of their habitation <04351> ; and they shall be there <08033> a base <08217> kingdom < 04467>.

15 It shall be the basest <08217> of the kingdoms < 04467>; neither <03808> shall it exalt <05375> itself any more <05750> above <05921> the nations <01471>: for I will diminish <04591> them, that they shall no <03808> more rule <07287> over <05921> the nations <01471>.

16 And it shall be no <03808> more <05750> the confidence <04009> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478> , which bringeth <02142> [their] iniquity <05771> to remembrance <02142>, when <03588> they shall look <06437> after <0310> them: but they shall know <03045> that I [am] the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

17. And it came <01961> to pass in the seven <07651> and twentieth <06242> year <08141>, in the first <07223> [month], in the first <0259> [day] of the month <02320>, the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

18 Son <01121> of man <0120>, Nebuchadrezzar < 05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> caused his army < 02428> to serve <05647> a great <01419> service < 05656> against <0413> Tyrus <06865>: every <03605> head <07218> [was] made bald <07139>, and every <03605> shoulder <03802> [was] peeled <04803>: yet had <01961> he no <03808> wages <07939>, nor his army <02428>, for Tyrus <06865>, for the service <05656> that he had served < 05647> against <05921> it:

19 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I will give <05414> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> unto Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894>; and he shall take <05375> her multitude <01995>, and take < 07997> her spoil <07997>, and take <0962> her prey < 0957>; and it shall be the wages <07939> for his army < 02428>.

20 I have given <05414> him the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> [for] his labour <06468> wherewith <0834> he served <05647> against it, because <0834> they wrought < 06213> for me, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD < 03069>.

21 In that day <03117> will I cause the horn <07161> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478> to bud <06779> forth, and I will give <05414> thee the opening <06610> of the mouth <06310> in the midst <08432> of them; and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

Ezekiel 30

1. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came < 01961> again unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, prophesy <05012> and say <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>; Howl <03213> ye, Woe <01929> worth the day <03117>!

3 For the day <03117> [is] near <07138>, even the day <03117> of the LORD <03068> [is] near <07138>, a cloudy <06051> day <03117>; it shall be the time <06256> of the heathen <01471>.

4 And the sword <02719> shall come <0935> upon Egypt <04714>, and great pain <02479> shall be in Ethiopia < 03568>, when the slain <02491> shall fall <05307> in Egypt <04714>, and they shall take <03947> away her multitude < 01995>, and her foundations <03247> shall be broken <02040> down <02040>.

5 Ethiopia <03568>, and Libya <06316>, and Lydia <03865>, and all <03605> the mingled <06154> people, and Chub <03552>, and the men <01121> of the land <0776> that is in league <01285>, shall fall <05307> with them by the sword <02719>.

6 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>; They also that uphold <05564> Egypt <04714> shall fall < 05307>; and the pride <01347> of her power <05797> shall come <03381> down <03381>: from the tower <04024> of Syene <05482> shall they fall <05307> in it by the sword < 02719>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

7 And they shall be desolate <08074> in the midst < 08432> of the countries <0776> [that are] desolate <08074>, and her cities <05892> shall be in the midst <08432> of the cities <05892> [that are] wasted <02717>.

8 And they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD < 03068>, when I have set <05414> a fire <0784> in Egypt < 04714>, and [when] all <03605> her helpers <05826> shall be destroyed <07665>.

9 In that day <03117> shall messengers <04397> go <03318> forth <03318> from me in ships <06716> to make the careless <0983> Ethiopians <03569> afraid <02729>, and great pain <02479> shall come <01961> upon them, as in the day <03117> of Egypt <04714>: for, lo <02009>, it cometh <0935>.

10 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I will also make the multitude <01995> of Egypt <04714> to cease <07673> by the hand <03027> of Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894>.

11 He and his people <05971> with him, the terrible < 06184> of the nations <01471>, shall be brought <0935> to destroy <07843> the land <0776>: and they shall draw < 07324> their swords <02719> against <05921> Egypt < 04714>, and fill <04390> the land <0776> with the slain < 02491>.

12 And I will make the rivers <02975> dry <02724>, and sell <04376> the land <0776> into the hand <03027> of the wicked <07451>: and I will make the land <0776> waste <08074>, and all <04393> that is therein <04393>, by the hand <03027> of strangers <02114>: I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> [it].

13 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I will also destroy <06> the idols <01544>, and I will cause [their] images <0457> to cease <07673> out of Noph <05297>; and there shall be no <03808> more <05750> a prince <05387> of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>: and I will put <05414> a fear <03374> in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.

14 And I will make Pathros <06624> desolate <08074>, and will set <05414> fire <0784> in Zoan <06814>, and will execute <06213> judgments <08201> in No.

15 And I will pour <08210> my fury <02534> upon Sin <05512>, the strength <04581> of Egypt <04714>; and I will cut <03772> off the multitude <01995> of No.

16 And I will set <05414> fire <0784> in Egypt < 04714>: Sin <05512> shall have great <02342> pain < 02342>, and No shall be rent <01234> asunder, and Noph < 05297> [shall have] distresses <06862> daily <03119>.

17 The young <0970> men of Aven <0206> and of Pibeseth <06364> shall fall <05307> by the sword <02719>: and these <02007> [cities] shall go <03212> into captivity <07628>.

18 At Tehaphnehes <08471> also the day <03117> shall be darkened <02821>, when I shall break <07665> there <08033> the yokes <04133> of Egypt <04714>: and the pomp <01347> of her strength <05797> shall cease <07673> in her: as for her, a cloud <06051> shall cover <03680> her, and her daughters <01121> shall go <03212> into captivity < 07628>.

19 Thus will I execute <06213> judgments <08201> in Egypt <04714>: and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

20. And it came <01961> to pass in the eleventh year < 08141>, in the first <07223> [month <02320>], in the seventh <07651> [day] of the month <02320>, [that] the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

21 Son <01121> of man <0120>, I have broken < 07665> the arm <02220> of Pharaoh <06547> king <04428> of Egypt <04714>; and, lo <02009>, it shall not be bound < 02280> up to be healed, to put <07760> a roller <02848> to bind <02280> it, to make it strong <02388> to hold < 08610> the sword <02719>.

22 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I [am] against <0413> Pharaoh <06547> king <04428> of Egypt < 04714>, and will break <07665> his arms <02220>, the strong <02389>, and that which was broken <07665>; and I will cause the sword <02719> to fall <05307> out of his hand <03027> .

23 And I will scatter <06327> the Egyptians <04714> among the nations <01471>, and will disperse <02219> them through the countries <0776>.

24 And I will strengthen <02388> the arms <02220> of the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, and put <05414> my sword <02719> in his hand <03027>: but I will break < 07665> Pharaoh's <06547> arms <02220>, and he shall groan <05008> before <06440> him with the groanings <05009> of a deadly wounded <02491> [man].

25 But I will strengthen <02388> the arms <02220> of the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, and the arms < 02220> of Pharaoh <06547> shall fall <05307> down; and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>, when I shall put <05414> my sword <02719> into the hand <03027> of the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, and he shall stretch < 05186> it out upon the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.

26 And I will scatter <06327> the Egyptians <04714> among the nations <01471>, and disperse <02219> them among the countries <0776>; and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

Ezekiel 31

1. And it came <01961> to pass in the eleventh year < 08141>, in the third <07992> [month], in the first <0259> [day] of the month <02320>, [that] the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, speak <0559> unto Pharaoh <06547> king <04428> of Egypt <04714>, and to his multitude <01995>; Whom art thou like <01819> in thy greatness <01433>?

3 Behold <02009>, the Assyrian <0804> [was] a cedar <0730> in Lebanon <03844> with fair <03303> branches < 06057>, and with a shadowing <06751> shroud <02793>, and of an high <01362> stature <06967>; and his top <06788> was among <0996> the thick <05688> boughs <05688>.

4 The waters <04325> made him great <01431>, the deep <08415> set <07311> him up on high <07311> with her rivers <05104> running <01980> round <05439> about his plants <04302>, and sent <07971> out her little <08585> rivers <08585> unto all <03605> the trees <06086> of the field <07704>.

5 Therefore his height <06967> was exalted <01361> above all <03605> the trees <06086> of the field <07704>, and his boughs <05634> were multiplied <07235>, and his branches <06288> became <0748> long <0748> because of the multitude <07227> of waters <04325>, when he shot < 07971> forth.

6 All <03605> the fowls <05775> of heaven < 08064> made their nests <07077> in his boughs <05589>, and under <08478> his branches <06288> did all <03605> the beasts <02416> of the field <07704> bring <03205> forth <03205> their young, and under his shadow <06738> dwelt < 03427> all <03605> great <07227> nations <01471>.

7 Thus was he fair <03302> in his greatness <01433>, in the length <0753> of his branches <01808>: for his root <08328> was by great <07227> waters <04325>.

8 The cedars <0730> in the garden <01588> of God <0430> could not hide <06004> him: the fir <01265> trees were not like <01819> his boughs <05589>, and the chesnut < 06196> trees were not like <01819> his branches <06288>; nor any <03605> tree <06086> in the garden <01588> of God <0430> was like <01819> unto him in his beauty < 03308>.

9 I have made him fair <03303> by the multitude < 07230> of his branches <01808>: so that all <03605> the trees <06086> of Eden <05731>, that [were] in the garden < 01588> of God <0430>, envied <07065> him.

10. Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Because thou hast lifted < 01361> up thyself in height <06967>, and he hath shot < 07971> up his top <06788> among <0996> the thick < 05688> boughs <05688>, and his heart <03824> is lifted < 07311> up in his height <01363>;

11 I have therefore delivered <05414> him into the hand <03027> of the mighty <0410> one of the heathen <01471>; he shall surely deal <06213> with him: I have driven <01644> him out for his wickedness <07562>.

12 And strangers <02114>, the terrible <06184> of the nations <01471>, have cut <03772> him off, and have left <05203> him: upon the mountains <02022> and in all < 03605> the valleys <01516> his branches <01808> are fallen <05307>, and his boughs <06288> are broken <07665> by all <03605> the rivers <0650> of the land <0776>; and all <03605> the people <05971> of the earth <0776> are gone <03381> down from his shadow <06738>, and have left < 05203> him.

13 Upon his ruin <04658> shall all <03605> the fowls <05775> of the heaven <08064> remain <07931>, and all <03605> the beasts <02416> of the field <07704> shall be upon his branches <06288>:

14 To the end <04616> that none <03808> of all < 03605> the trees <06086> by the waters <04325> exalt < 01361> themselves for their height <06967>, neither <03808> shoot <05414> up their top <06788> among <0413> the thick <05688> boughs <05688>, neither <03808> their trees <0352> stand <05975> up in their height <01363>, all <03605> that drink <08354> water <04325>: for they are all <03605> delivered <05414> unto death <04194>, to the nether <08482> parts of the earth <0776>, in the midst < 08432> of the children <01121> of men <0120>, with them that go <03381> down <03381> to the pit <0953>.

15 Thus saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD < 0430>; In the day <03117> when he went <03381> down < 03381> to the grave <07585> I caused a mourning <056>: I covered <03680> the deep <08415> for him, and I restrained < 04513> the floods <05104> thereof, and the great <07227> waters <04325> were stayed <03607>: and I caused Lebanon < 03844> to mourn <06937> for him, and all <03605> the trees <06086> of the field <07704> fainted <05969> for him.

16 I made the nations <01471> to shake <07493> at the sound <06963> of his fall <04658>, when I cast < 03381> him down <03381> to hell <07585> with them that descend <03381> into the pit <0953>: and all <03605> the trees <06086> of Eden <05731>, the choice <04005> and best <02896> of Lebanon <03844>, all <03605> that drink <08354> water <04325>, shall be comforted <05162> in the nether <08482> parts of the earth <0776>.

17 They also <01571> went <03381> down <03381> into hell <07585> with him unto [them that be] slain <02491> with the sword <02719>; and [they that were] his arm <02220>, [that] dwelt <03427> under his shadow <06738> in the midst < 08432> of the heathen <01471>.

18 To whom <04310> art thou thus <03602> like < 01819> in glory <03519> and in greatness <01433> among the trees <06086> of Eden <05731>? yet shalt thou be brought < 03381> down <03381> with the trees <06086> of Eden < 05731> unto the nether <08482> parts of the earth <0776>: thou shalt lie <07901> in the midst <08432> of the uncircumcised <06189> with [them that be] slain <02491> by the sword <02719>. This <01931> [is] Pharaoh <06547> and all <03605> his multitude <01995>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 32

1. And it came <01961> to pass in the twelfth year < 08141>, in the twelfth month <02320>, in the first <0259> [day] of the month <02320>, [that] the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, take <05375> up a lamentation <07015> for Pharaoh <06547> king <04428> of Egypt <04714>, and say <0559> unto him, Thou art like a young <03715> lion <03715> of the nations <01471>, and thou [art] as a whale <08565> in the seas <03220>: and thou camest <01518> forth <01518> with thy rivers <05104>, and troubledst <01804> the waters <04325> with thy feet < 07272>, and fouledst <07515> their rivers <05104>.

3 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I will therefore spread <06566> out my net < 07568> over <05921> thee with a company <06951> of many < 07227> people <05971>; and they shall bring <05927> thee up in my net <02764>.

4 Then will I leave <05203> thee upon the land < 0776>, I will cast <02904> thee forth upon the open <06440> field <07704>, and will cause all <03605> the fowls < 05775> of the heaven <08064> to remain <07931> upon thee, and I will fill <07646> the beasts <02416> of the whole < 03605> earth <0776> with thee.

5 And I will lay <05414> thy flesh <01320> upon the mountains <02022>, and fill <04390> the valleys <01516> with thy height <07419>.

6 I will also water <08248> with thy blood <01818> the land <0776> wherein thou swimmest <06824>, [even] to the mountains <02022>; and the rivers <0650> shall be full < 04390> of thee.

7 And when I shall put <03518> thee out, I will cover < 03680> the heaven <08064>, and make the stars <03556> thereof dark <06937>; I will cover <03680> the sun < 08121> with a cloud <06051>, and the moon <03394> shall not give her light <0216>.

8 All <03605> the bright <03974> lights < 03974> of heaven <08064> will I make dark <06937> over < 05921> thee, and set <05414> darkness <02822> upon thy land <0776>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

9 I will also vex <03707> the hearts <03820> of many <07227> people <05971>, when I shall bring <0935> thy destruction <07667> among the nations <01471>, into < 05921> the countries <0776> which <0834> thou hast not known <03045>.

10 Yea, I will make many <07227> people <05971> amazed <08074> at thee, and their kings <04428> shall be horribly <08178> afraid <08175> for thee, when I shall brandish <05774> my sword <02719> before <05921> them; and they shall tremble <02729> at [every] moment <07281>, every man <0376> for his own life <05315>, in the day < 03117> of thy fall <04658>.

11 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>; The sword <02719> of the king < 04428> of Babylon <0894> shall come <0935> upon thee.

12 By the swords <02719> of the mighty <01368> will I cause thy multitude <01995> to fall <04658>, the terrible <06184> of the nations <01471>, all <03605> of them: and they shall spoil <07703> the pomp <01347> of Egypt < 04714>, and all <03605> the multitude <01995> thereof shall be destroyed <08045>.

13 I will destroy <06> also all <03605> the beasts <0929> thereof from beside <05921> the great <07227> waters <04325>; neither <03808> shall the foot <07272> of man <0120> trouble <04103> them any more <05750>, nor <03808> the hoofs <06541> of beasts <0929> trouble < 01804> them.

14 Then <0227> will I make their waters <04325> deep <08257>, and cause their rivers <05104> to run < 03212> like oil <08081>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

15 When I shall make <05414> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> desolate <08077>, and the country <0776> shall be destitute <08047> of that whereof it was full <04393>, when I shall smite <05221> all <03605> them that dwell < 03427> therein, then shall they know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

16 This <01931> [is] the lamentation <07015> wherewith they shall lament <06969> her: the daughters <01121> of the nations <01471> shall lament <06969> her: they shall lament <06969> for her, [even] for Egypt <04714>, and for all <03605> her multitude <01995>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

17. It came <01961> to pass also in the twelfth year < 08141>, in the fifteenth <06240> [day] of the month <02320>, [that] the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

18 Son <01121> of man <0120>, wail <05091> for the multitude <01995> of Egypt <04714>, and cast < 03381> them down <03381>, [even] her, and the daughters < 01121> of the famous <0117> nations <01471>, unto the nether <08482> parts of the earth <0776>, with them that go <03381> down <03381> into the pit <0953>.

19 Whom <04310> dost thou pass in beauty <05276>? go <03381> down <03381>, and be thou laid <07901> with the uncircumcised <06189>.

20 They shall fall <04658> in the midst <08432> of [them that are] slain <02491> by the sword <02719>: she is delivered <05414> to the sword <02719>: draw <04900> her and all <03605> her multitudes <01995>.

21 The strong <0410> among the mighty <01368> shall speak <01696> to him out of the midst <08432> of hell < 07585> with them that help <05826> him: they are gone < 03381> down <03381>, they lie <07901> uncircumcised < 06189>, slain <02491> by the sword <02719>.

22 Asshur <0804> [is] there <08033> and all < 03605> her company <06951>: his graves <06913> [are] about <05439> him: all <03605> of them slain <02491>, fallen <05307> by the sword <02719>:

23 Whose <0834> graves <06913> are set <05414> in the sides <03411> of the pit <0953>, and her company < 06951> is round <05439> about her grave <06900>: all < 03605> of them slain <02491>, fallen <05307> by the sword <02719>, which <0834> caused <05414> terror <02851> in the land <0776> of the living <02416>.

24 There <08033> [is] Elam <05867> and all < 03605> her multitude <01995> round <05439> about her grave <06900>, all <03605> of them slain <02491>, fallen < 05307> by the sword <02719>, which <0834> are gone < 03381> down <03381> uncircumcised <06189> into <0413> the nether <08482> parts of the earth <0776>, which < 0834> caused <05414> their terror <02851> in the land < 0776> of the living <02416>; yet have they borne <05375> their shame <03639> with them that go <03381> down < 03381> to the pit <0953>.

25 They have set <05414> her a bed <04904> in the midst <08432> of the slain <02491> with all <03605> her multitude <01995>: her graves <06913> [are] round <05439> about him: all <03605> of them uncircumcised <06189>, slain <02491> by the sword <02719>: though <03588> their terror <02851> was caused <05414> in the land <0776> of the living <02416>, yet have they borne <05375> their shame <03639> with them that go <03381> down <03381> to the pit <0953>: he is put <05414> in the midst <08432> of [them that be] slain <02491>.

26 There <08033> [is] Meshech <04902>, Tubal < 08422>, and all <03605> her multitude <01995>: her graves <06913> [are] round <05439> about him: all <03605> of them uncircumcised <06189>, slain <02490> by the sword < 02719>, though <03588> they caused <05414> their terror < 02851> in the land <0776> of the living <02416>.

27 And they shall not lie <07901> with the mighty < 01368> [that are] fallen <05307> of the uncircumcised < 06189>, which <0834> are gone <03381> down <03381> to hell <07585> with their weapons <03627> of war <04421>: and they have laid <05414> their swords <02719> under < 08478> their heads <07218>, but their iniquities <05771> shall be upon their bones <06106>, though <03588> [they were] the terror <02851> of the mighty <01368> in the land < 0776> of the living <02416>.

28 Yea, thou shalt be broken <07665> in the midst < 08432> of the uncircumcised <06189>, and shalt lie <07901> with [them that are] slain <02491> with the sword <02719>.

29 There <08033> [is] Edom <0123>, her kings < 04428>, and all <03605> her princes <05387>, which < 0834> with their might <01369> are laid <05414> by [them that were] slain <02491> by the sword <02719>: they shall lie <07901> with the uncircumcised <06189>, and with them that go <03381> down <03381> to the pit <0953>.

30 There <08033> [be] the princes <05257> of the north <06828>, all <03605> of them, and all <03605> the Zidonians <06722>, which <0834> are gone <03381> down <03381> with the slain <02491>; with their terror <02851> they are ashamed <0954> of their might <01369>; and they lie <07901> uncircumcised <06189> with [them that be] slain < 02491> by the sword <02719>, and bear <05375> their shame <03639> with them that go <03381> down <03381> to the pit <0953>.

31 Pharaoh <06547> shall see <07200> them, and shall be comforted <05162> over <05921> all <03605> his multitude <01995>, [even] Pharaoh <06547> and all <03605> his army <02428> slain <02491> by the sword <02719>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

32 For I have caused <05414> my terror <02851> in the land <0776> of the living <02416>: and he shall be laid <07901> in the midst <08432> of the uncircumcised <06189> with [them that are] slain <02491> with the sword <02719>, [even] Pharaoh <06547> and all <03605> his multitude < 01995>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 33

1. Again the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, speak <01696> to the children <01121> of thy people <05971>, and say < 0559> unto them, When <03588> I bring <0935> the sword < 02719> upon a land <0776>, if the people <05971> of the land <0776> take <03947> a man <0376> of their coasts <07097>, and set <05414> him for their watchman <06822>:

3 If when he seeth <07200> the sword <02719> come <0935> upon the land <0776>, he blow <08628> the trumpet <07782>, and warn <02094> the people <05971>;

4 Then whosoever heareth <08085> the sound <06963> of the trumpet <07782>, and taketh not warning <02094>; if the sword <02719> come <0935>, and take <03947> him away, his blood <01818> shall be upon his own head <07218>.

5 He heard <08085> the sound <06963> of the trumpet <07782>, and took not warning <02094>; his blood <01818> shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning <02094> shall deliver <04422> his soul <05315>.

6 But if <03588> the watchman <06822> see < 07200> the sword <02719> come <0935>, and blow <08628> not the trumpet <07782>, and the people <05971> be not warned <02094>; if the sword <02719> come <0935>, and take < 03947> [any] person <05315> from among them, he is taken < 03947> away in his iniquity <05771>; but his blood <01818> will I require <01875> at the watchman's <06822> hand < 03027>.

7 So thou, O son <01121> of man <0120>, I have set <05414> thee a watchman <06822> unto the house <01004> of Israel <03478>; therefore thou shalt hear <08085> the word <01697> at my mouth <06310>, and warn <02094> them from me.

8 When I say <0559> unto the wicked <07563>, O wicked <07563> [man], thou shalt surely die <04191>; if thou dost not speak <01696> to warn <02094> the wicked <07563> from his way <01870>, that wicked <07563> [man] shall die < 04191> in his iniquity <05771>; but his blood <01818> will I require <01245> at thine hand <03027>.

9 Nevertheless, if <03588> thou warn <02094> the wicked <07563> of his way <01870> to turn <07725> from it; if he do not turn <07725> from his way <01870>, he shall die <04191> in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered <05337> thy soul <05315>.

10. Therefore, O thou son <01121> of man <0120>, speak <0559> unto the house <01004> of Israel <03478>; Thus <03651> ye speak <0559>, saying <0559>, If < 03588> our transgressions <06588> and our sins <02403> [be] upon us, and we pine <04743> away in them, how <0349> should we then live <02421>?

11 Say <0559> unto them, [As] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, I have no < 0518> pleasure <02654> in the death <04194> of the wicked <07563>; but that the wicked <07563> turn <07725> from his way <01870> and live <02421>: turn <07725> ye, turn <07725> ye from your evil <07451> ways <01870>; for why <04100> will ye die <04191>, O house <01004> of Israel <03478>?

12 Therefore, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, say <0559> unto the children <01121> of thy people <05971>, The righteousness <06666> of the righteous <06662> shall not deliver <05337> him in the day <03117> of his transgression <06588>: as for the wickedness <07564> of the wicked < 07563>, he shall not fall <03782> thereby in the day <03117> that he turneth <07725> from his wickedness <07562>; neither <03808> shall the righteous <06662> be able <03201> to live <02421> for his [righteousness] in the day <03117> that he sinneth <02398>.

13 When I shall say <0559> to the righteous <06662>, [that] he shall surely live <02421>; if he trust <0982> to his own righteousness <06666>, and commit <06213> iniquity < 05766>, all <03605> his righteousnesses <06666> shall not be remembered <02142>; but for his iniquity <05766> that he hath committed <06213>, he shall die <04191> for it.

14 Again, when I say <0559> unto the wicked <07563>, Thou shalt surely die <04191>; if he turn <07725> from his sin <02403>, and do <06213> that which is lawful <04941> and right <06666>;

15 [If] the wicked <07563> restore <07725> the pledge <02258>, give <07999> again <07999> that he had robbed <05100>, walk <01980> in the statutes <02708> of life <02416>, without <01115> committing <06213> iniquity <05766>; he shall surely live <02421>, he shall not die <04191>.

16 None <03808> of his sins <02403> that he hath committed <02398> shall be mentioned <02142> unto him: he hath done <06213> that which is lawful <04941> and right < 06666>; he shall surely live <02421>.

17 Yet the children <01121> of thy people <05971> say <0559>, The way <01870> of the Lord <0136> is not equal <08505>: but as for them, their way <01870> is not equal <08505>.

18 When the righteous <06662> turneth <07725> from his righteousness <06666>, and committeth <06213> iniquity < 05766>, he shall even die <04191> thereby.

19 But if the wicked <07563> turn <07725> from his wickedness <07564>, and do <06213> that which <0834> is lawful <04941> and right <06666>, he shall live <02421> thereby.

20 Yet ye say <0559>, The way <01870> of the Lord <0136> is not equal <08505>. O ye house <01004> of Israel <03478>, I will judge <08199> you every <0376> one <0376> after his ways <01870>.

21. And it came <01961> to pass in the twelfth year < 08141> of our captivity <01546>, in the tenth <06224> [month], in the fifth <02568> [day] of the month <02320>, [that] one that had escaped <06412> out of Jerusalem <03389> came <0935> unto me, saying <0559>, The city <05892> is smitten <05221>.

22 Now the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> was upon me in the evening <06153>, afore <06440> he that was escaped <06412> came <0935>; and had opened <06605> my mouth <06310>, until <05704> he came <0935> to me in the morning <01242>; and my mouth <06310> was opened <06605>, and I was no <03808> more <05750> dumb <0481>.

23 Then the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

24 Son <01121> of man <0120>, they that inhabit < 03427> those <0428> wastes <02723> of the land <0127> of Israel <03478> speak <0559>, saying <0559>, Abraham <085> was one <0259>, and he inherited <03423> the land <0776>: but we [are] many <07227>; the land <0776> is given <05414> us for inheritance <04181>.

25 Wherefore <03651> say <0559> unto them, Thus < 03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Ye eat <0398> with the blood <01818>, and lift <05375> up your eyes <05869> toward <0413> your idols <01544>, and shed <08210> blood <01818>: and shall ye possess <03423> the land <0776>?

26 Ye stand <05975> upon your sword <02719>, ye work <06213> abomination <08441>, and ye defile <02930> every <0376> one <0376> his neighbour's <07453> wife < 0802>: and shall ye possess <03423> the land <0776>?

27 Say <0559> thou thus <03541> unto them, Thus < 03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; [As] I live <02416>, surely they that [are] in the wastes <02723> shall fall <05307> by the sword <02719>, and him that [is] in the open <06440> field <07704> will I give <05414> to the beasts <02416> to be devoured <0398>, and they that [be] in the forts <04679> and in the caves <04631> shall die < 04191> of the pestilence <01698>.

28 For I will lay <05414> the land <0776> most desolate <08077>, and the pomp <01347> of her strength < 05797> shall cease <07673>; and the mountains <02022> of Israel <03478> shall be desolate <08074>, that none < 0369> shall pass <05674> through.

29 Then shall they know <03045> that I [am] the LORD < 03068>, when I have laid <05414> the land <0776> most desolate <08077> because <05921> of all <03605> their abominations <08441> which <0834> they have committed < 06213>.

30. Also, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, the children <01121> of thy people <05971> still are talking < 01696> against thee by the walls <07023> and in the doors < 06607> of the houses <01004>, and speak <01696> one < 02297> to another <0259>, every <0376> one <0376> to his brother <0251>, saying <0559>, Come <0935>, I pray <04994> you, and hear <08085> what <04100> is the word <01697> that cometh <03318> forth <03318> from the LORD <03068>.

31 And they come <0935> unto thee as the people < 05971> cometh <0935>, and they sit <03427> before < 06440> thee [as] my people <05971>, and they hear <08085> thy words <01697>, but they will not do <06213> them: for with their mouth <06310> they shew <06213> much love <05690>, [but] their heart <03820> goeth <01980> after <0310> their covetousness <01215>.

32 And, lo <02009>, thou [art] unto them as a very < 05690> lovely <05690> song <07892> of one that hath a pleasant <03303> voice <06963>, and can play <05059> well on an instrument: for they hear <08085> thy words <01697>, but they do <06213> them not.

33 And when this cometh <0935> to pass, (lo, it will come <0935>,) then shall they know <03045> that a prophet < 05030> hath been <01961> among <08432> them.

Ezekiel 34

1. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came < 01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, prophesy <05012> against <05921> the shepherds <07462> of Israel <03478>, prophesy <05012>, and say <0559> unto them, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> unto the shepherds <07462>; Woe <01945> [be] to the shepherds < 07462> of Israel <03478> that do feed <07462> themselves! should not the shepherds <07462> feed <07462> the flocks < 06629>?

3 Ye eat <0398> the fat <02459>, and ye clothe < 03847> you with the wool <06785>, ye kill <02076> them that are fed <01277>: [but] ye feed <07462> not the flock < 06629>.

4 The diseased <02456> have ye not strengthened < 02388>, neither <03808> have ye healed <07495> that which was sick <02470>, neither <03808> have ye bound <02280> up [that which was] broken <07665>, neither <03808> have ye brought <07725> again <07725> that which was driven < 05080> away, neither <03808> have ye sought <01245> that which was lost <06>; but with force <02394> and with cruelty <06531> have ye ruled <07287> them.

5 And they were scattered <06327>, because [there is] no <01097> shepherd <07462>: and they became <01961> meat <0402> to all <03605> the beasts <02416> of the field <07704>, when they were scattered <06327>.

6 My sheep <06629> wandered <07686> through all < 03605> the mountains <02022>, and upon every <03605> high <07311> hill <01389>: yea, my flock <06629> was scattered <06327> upon all <03605> the face <06440> of the earth <0776>, and none <0369> did search <01875> or seek <01245> [after them].

7. Therefore <03651>, ye shepherds <07462>, hear < 08085> the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>;

8 [As] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>, surely because <03282> my flock < 06629> became <01961> a prey <0957>, and my flock < 06629> became <01961> meat <0402> to every <03605> beast <02416> of the field <07704>, because [there was] no < 0369> shepherd <07462>, neither <03808> did my shepherds <07462> search <01875> for my flock <06629>, but the shepherds <07462> fed <07462> themselves, and fed <07462> not my flock <06629>;

9 Therefore <03651>, O ye shepherds <07462>, hear <08085> the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>;

10 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I [am] against <0413> the shepherds <07462>; and I will require <01875> my flock < 06629> at their hand <03027>, and cause them to cease < 07673> from feeding <07462> the flock <06629>; neither < 03808> shall the shepherds <07462> feed <07462> themselves <0853> any more <05750>; for I will deliver <05337> my flock <06629> from their mouth <06310>, that they may not be meat <0402> for them.

11 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I, [even] I, will both search <01875> my sheep <06629>, and seek <01239> them out.

12 As a shepherd <07462> seeketh <01243> out his flock <05739> in the day <03117> that he is among <08432> his sheep <06629> [that are] scattered <06566>; so < 03651> will I seek <01239> out my sheep <06629>, and will deliver <05337> them out of all <03605> places <04725> where they have been scattered <06327> in the cloudy <06051> and dark <06205> day <03117>.

13 And I will bring <03318> them out from the people < 05971>, and gather <06908> them from the countries <0776>, and will bring <0935> them to their own land <0127>, and feed <07462> them upon the mountains <02022> of Israel <03478> by the rivers <0650>, and in all <03605> the inhabited < 04186> places of the country <0776>.

14 I will feed <07462> them in a good <02896> pasture <04829>, and upon the high <04791> mountains < 02022> of Israel <03478> shall their fold <05116> be: there <08033> shall they lie <07257> in a good <02896> fold <05116>, and [in] a fat <08082> pasture <04829> shall they feed <07462> upon the mountains <02022> of Israel < 03478>.

15 I will feed <07462> my flock <06629>, and I will cause them to lie <07257> down <07901>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

16 I will seek <01245> that which was lost <06>, and bring <07725> again <07725> that which was driven < 05080> away, and will bind <02280> up [that which was] broken < 07665>, and will strengthen <02388> that which was sick < 02470>: but I will destroy <08045> the fat <08082> and the strong <02389>; I will feed <07462> them with judgment < 04941>.

17. And [as for] you, O my flock <06629>, thus < 03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I judge <08199> between <0996> cattle <07716> and cattle <07716>, between the rams <0352> and the he goats <06260>.

18 [Seemeth <05869> it] a small <04592> thing unto you to have eaten <07462> up the good <02896> pasture < 04829>, but ye must tread <07429> down with your feet < 07272> the residue <03499> of your pastures <04829>? and to have drunk <08354> of the deep <04950> waters <04325>, but ye must foul <07515> the residue <03498> with your feet <07272>?

19 And [as for] my flock <06629>, they eat <07462> that which ye have trodden <07429> with your feet <07272>; and they drink <08354> that which ye have fouled <04833> with your feet <07272>.

20 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> unto them; Behold <02005>, I, [even] I, will judge <08199> between <0996> the fat < 01277> cattle <07716> and between <0996> the lean < 07330> cattle <07716>.

21 Because <03282> ye have thrust <01920> with side <06654> and with shoulder <03802>, and pushed <05055> all <03605> the diseased <02456> with your horns <07161>, till <05704> ye have scattered <06327> them abroad < 02351>;

22 Therefore will I save <03467> my flock <06629>, and they shall no <03808> more <05750> be a prey <0957>; and I will judge <08199> between <0996> cattle <07716> and cattle <07716>.

23 And I will set <06965> up one <0259> shepherd <07462> over <05921> them, and he shall feed <07462> them, [even <0853>] my servant <05650> David <01732>; he shall feed <07462> them, and he shall be their shepherd <07462> .

24 And I the LORD <03068> will be their God <0430>, and my servant <05650> David <01732> a prince <05387> among <08432> them; I the LORD <03068> have spoken < 01696> [it].

25 And I will make <03772> with them a covenant < 01285> of peace <07965>, and will cause the evil <07451> beasts <02416> to cease <07673> out of the land <0776>: and they shall dwell <03427> safely <0983> in the wilderness <04057>, and sleep <03462> in the woods <03264>.

26 And I will make <05414> them and the places round < 05439> about my hill <01389> a blessing <01293>; and I will cause the shower <01653> to come <03381> down <03381> in his season <06256>; there shall be showers <01653> of blessing <01293>.

27 And the tree <06086> of the field <07704> shall yield <05414> her fruit <06529>, and the earth <0776> shall yield <05414> her increase <02981>, and they shall be safe <0983> in their land <0127>, and shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>, when I have broken <07665> the bands <04133> of their yoke <05923>, and delivered < 05337> them out of the hand <03027> of those that served < 05647> themselves of them.

28 And they shall no <03808> more <05750> be a prey <0957> to the heathen <01471>, neither <03808> shall the beast <02416> of the land <0776> devour <0398> them; but they shall dwell <03427> safely <0983>, and none <0369> shall make [them] afraid <02729>.

29 And I will raise <06965> up for them a plant < 04302> of renown <08034>, and they shall be no <03808> more <05750> consumed <0622> with hunger <07457> in the land <0776>, neither <03808> bear <05375> the shame < 03639> of the heathen <01471> any more <05750>.

30 Thus shall they know <03045> that I the LORD < 03068> their God <0430> [am] with them, and [that] they, [even] the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, [are] my people < 05971>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

31 And ye my flock <06629>, the flock <06629> of my pasture <04830>, [are] men <0120>, [and] I [am] your God < 0430>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 35

1. Moreover the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, set <07760> thy face <06440> against <05921> mount <02022> Seir < 08165>, and prophesy <05012> against <05921> it,

3 And say <0559> unto it, Thus <03541> saith < 0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, O mount <02022> Seir <08165>, I [am] against <0413> thee, and I will stretch <05186> out mine hand <03027> against < 05921> thee, and I will make <05414> thee most desolate < 08077>.

4 I will lay <07760> thy cities <05892> waste < 02723>, and thou shalt be desolate <08077>, and thou shalt know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

5 Because <03588> thou hast had <01961> a perpetual <05769> hatred <0342>, and hast shed <05064> [the blood of] the children <01121> of Israel <03478> by the force < 03027> of the sword <02719> in the time <06256> of their calamity <0343>, in the time <06256> [that their] iniquity < 05771> [had] an end <07093>:

6 Therefore <03651>, [as] I live <02416>, saith < 05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, I will prepare < 06213> thee unto blood <01818>, and blood <01818> shall pursue <07291> thee: sith <0518> thou hast not hated < 08130> blood <01818>, even blood <01818> shall pursue < 07291> thee.

7 Thus will I make <05414> mount <02022> Seir < 08165> most <08077> desolate <08077>, and cut <03772> off from it him that passeth <05674> out and him that returneth < 07725>.

8 And I will fill <04390> his mountains <02022> with his slain <02491> [men]: in thy hills <01389>, and in thy valleys <01516>, and in all <03605> thy rivers <0650>, shall they fall <05307> that are slain <02491> with the sword <02719>.

9 I will make <05414> thee perpetual <05769> desolations <08077>, and thy cities <05892> shall not return <03427>: and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD < 03068>.

10. Because <03282> thou hast said <0559>, These two <08147> nations <01471> and these two <08147> countries <0776> shall be mine, and we will possess <03423> it; whereas the LORD <03068> was there <08033>:

11 Therefore <03651>, [as] I live <02416>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, I will even do < 06213> according to thine anger <0639>, and according to thine envy <07068> which <0834> thou hast used <06213> out of thy hatred <08135> against them; and I will make <06213> myself known <03045> among them, when <0834> I have judged < 08199> thee.

12 And thou shalt know <03045> that I [am] the LORD < 03068>, [and that] I have heard <08085> all <03605> thy blasphemies <05007> which <0834> thou hast spoken <0559> against <05921> the mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>, saying <0559>, They are laid desolate <08074>, they are given <05414> us to consume <0402>.

13 Thus with your mouth <06310> ye have boasted < 01431> against <05921> me, and have multiplied <06280> your words <01697> against <05921> me: I have heard <08085> [them].

14 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; When the whole <03605> earth <0776> rejoiceth <08055>, I will make <06213> thee desolate < 08077>.

15 As thou didst rejoice <08057> at the inheritance < 05159> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, because it was desolate <08074>, so <03651> will I do <06213> unto thee: thou shalt be desolate <08077>, O mount <02022> Seir < 08165>, and all <03605> Idumea <0123>, [even] all < 03605> of it: and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

Ezekiel 36

1. Also, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, prophesy <05012> unto the mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>, and say <0559>, Ye mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>, hear <08085> the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>:

2 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Because <03282> the enemy <0341> hath said <0559> against <05921> you, Aha <0253>, even the ancient <05769> high <01116> places are ours in possession < 04181>:

3 Therefore <03651> prophesy <05012> and say < 0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Because <03282> they have made [you] desolate < 08074>, and swallowed <07602> you up on every <05437> side <05439>, that ye might be a possession <04181> unto the residue <07611> of the heathen <01471>, and ye are taken < 05927> up in the lips <08193> of talkers <03956>, and [are] an infamy <01681> of the people <05971>:

4 Therefore <03651>, ye mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>, hear <08085> the word <01697> of the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>; Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> to the mountains <02022>, and to the hills <01389>, to the rivers <0650>, and to the valleys < 01516>, to the desolate <08076> wastes <02723>, and to the cities <05892> that are forsaken <05800>, which <0834> became <01961> a prey <0957> and derision <03932> to the residue <07611> of the heathen <01471> that [are] round < 05439> about;

5 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Surely in the fire <0784> of my jealousy <07068> have I spoken <01696> against < 05921> the residue <07611> of the heathen <01471>, and against <05921> all <03605> Idumea <0123>, which < 0834> have appointed <05414> my land <0776> into their possession <04181> with the joy <08057> of all <03605> [their] heart <03824>, with despiteful <07589> minds < 05315>, to cast <04054> it out for a prey <0957>.

6 Prophesy <05012> therefore <03651> concerning < 05921> the land <0127> of Israel <03478>, and say < 0559> unto the mountains <02022>, and to the hills <01389>, to the rivers <0650>, and to the valleys <01516>, Thus < 03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I have spoken <01696> in my jealousy < 07068> and in my fury <02534>, because <03282> ye have borne <05375> the shame <03639> of the heathen <01471>:

7 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I have lifted <05375> up mine hand <03027>, Surely the heathen <01471> that [are] about <05439> you, they shall bear <05375> their shame <03639>.

8 But ye, O mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>, ye shall shoot <05414> forth your branches <06057>, and yield < 05375> your fruit <06529> to my people <05971> of Israel <03478>; for they are at <07126> hand <07126> to come <0935>.

9 For, behold <02005>, I [am] for you, and I will turn <06437> unto you, and ye shall be tilled <05647> and sown < 02232>:

10 And I will multiply <07235> men <0120> upon you, all <03605> the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, [even] all <03605> of it: and the cities <05892> shall be inhabited <03427>, and the wastes <02723> shall be builded <01129>:

11 And I will multiply <07235> upon you man <0120> and beast <0929>; and they shall increase <07235> and bring <06509> fruit <06509>: and I will settle <03427> you after your old <06927> estates, and will do better <02896> [unto you] than at your beginnings <07221>: and ye shall know < 03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

12 Yea, I will cause men <0120> to walk <03212> upon you, [even <0853>] my people <05971> Israel <03478>; and they shall possess <03423> thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance <05159>, and thou shalt no <03808> more < 05750> henceforth bereave <07921> them [of men].

13 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Because <03282> they say <0559> unto you, Thou [land] devourest <0398> up men <0120>, and hast bereaved <07921> thy nations <01471>;

14 Therefore <03651> thou shalt devour <0398> men <0120> no <03808> more <05750>, neither <03808> bereave thy nations <01471> any more <05750>, saith < 05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

15 Neither <03808> will I cause [men] to hear < 08085> in thee the shame <03639> of the heathen <01471> any more <05750>, neither <03808> shalt thou bear <05375> the reproach <02781> of the people <05971> any more < 05750>, neither <03808> shalt thou cause thy nations <01471> to fall <03782> any more <05750>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

16. Moreover the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

17 Son <01121> of man <0120>, when the house < 01004> of Israel <03478> dwelt <03427> in their own land <0127>, they defiled <02930> it by their own way <01870> and by their doings <05949>: their way <01870> was before < 06440> me as the uncleanness <02932> of a removed <05079> woman.

18 Wherefore I poured <08210> my fury <02534> upon them for the blood <01818> that they had shed <08210> upon the land <0776>, and for their idols <01544> [wherewith] they had polluted <02930> it:

19 And I scattered <06327> them among the heathen < 01471>, and they were dispersed <02219> through the countries < 0776>: according to their way <01870> and according to their doings <05949> I judged <08199> them.

20 And when they entered <0935> unto the heathen < 01471>, whither they went <0935>, they profaned <02490> my holy <06944> name <08034>, when they said <0559> to them, These <04228> [are] the people <05971> of the LORD < 03068>, and are gone <03318> forth <03318> out of his land <0776>.

21 But I had pity <02550> for mine holy <06944> name <08034>, which <0834> the house <01004> of Israel <03478> had profaned <02490> among the heathen <01471>, whither they went <0935>.

22 Therefore <03651> say <0559> unto the house < 01004> of Israel <03478>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I do <06213> not [this] for your sakes <06616>, O house <01004> of Israel <03478>, but for mine holy <06944> name's <08034> sake, which < 0834> ye have profaned <02490> among the heathen <01471>, whither ye went <0935>.

23 And I will sanctify <06942> my great <01419> name <08034>, which was profaned <02490> among the heathen < 01471>, which <0834> ye have profaned <02490> in the midst <08432> of them; and the heathen <01471> shall know < 03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, when I shall be sanctified <06942> in you before their eyes <05869>.

24 For I will take <03947> you from among the heathen < 01471>, and gather <06908> you out of all <03605> countries <0776>, and will bring <0935> you into <0413> your own land <0127>.

25. Then will I sprinkle <02236> clean <02889> water <04325> upon you, and ye shall be clean <02891>: from all < 03605> your filthiness <02932>, and from all <03605> your idols <01544>, will I cleanse <02891> you.

26 A new <02319> heart <03820> also will I give < 05414> you, and a new <02319> spirit <07307> will I put < 05414> within <07130> you: and I will take <05493> away < 05493> the stony <068> heart <03820> out of your flesh < 01320>, and I will give <05414> you an heart <03820> of flesh <01320>.

27 And I will put <05414> my spirit <07307> within <07130> you, and cause you to walk <03212> in my statutes < 02706>, and ye shall keep <08104> my judgments <04941>, and do <06213> [them].

28 And ye shall dwell <03427> in the land <0776> that I gave <05414> to your fathers <01>; and ye shall be my people <05971>, and I will be your God <0430>.

29 I will also save <03467> you from all <03605> your uncleannesses <02932>: and I will call <07121> for the corn <01715>, and will increase <07235> it, and lay < 05414> no <03808> famine <07458> upon you.

30 And I will multiply <07235> the fruit <06529> of the tree <06086>, and the increase <08570> of the field < 07704>, that ye shall receive <03947> no <03808> more < 05750> reproach <02781> of famine <07458> among the heathen <01471>.

31 Then shall ye remember <02142> your own evil < 07451> ways <01870>, and your doings <04611> that [were] not good <02896>, and shall lothe <06962> yourselves in your own sight <06440> for your iniquities <05771> and for your abominations <08441>.

32 Not for your sakes <06616> do <06213> I [this], saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, be it known <03045> unto you: be ashamed <0954> and confounded < 03637> for your own ways <01870>, O house <01004> of Israel <03478>.

33 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; In the day <03117> that I shall have cleansed < 02891> you from all <03605> your iniquities <05771> I will also cause [you] to dwell <03427> in the cities <05892>, and the wastes <02723> shall be builded <01129>.

34 And the desolate <08074> land <0776> shall be tilled <05647>, whereas it lay desolate <08077> in the sight <05869> of all <03605> that passed <05674> by.

35 And they shall say <0559>, This <01977> land < 0776> that was desolate <08074> is become <01961> like the garden <01588> of Eden <05731>; and the waste <02720> and desolate <08074> and ruined <02040> cities <05892> [are become] fenced <01219>, [and] are inhabited <03427>.

36 Then the heathen <01471> that are left <07604> round <05439> about you shall know <03045> that I the LORD < 03068> build <01129> the ruined <02040> [places, and] plant <05193> that that was desolate <08074>: I the LORD < 03068> have spoken <01696> [it], and I will do <06213> [it].

37 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; I will yet <05750> [for] this be enquired < 01875> of by the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, to do < 06213> [it] for them; I will increase <07235> them with men < 0120> like a flock <06629>.

38 As the holy <06944> flock <06629>, as the flock <06629> of Jerusalem <03389> in her solemn <04150> feasts <04150>; so <03651> shall the waste <02720> cities <05892> be filled <04390> with flocks <06629> of men <0120>: and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

Ezekiel 37

1. The hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> was upon me, and carried <03318> me out in the spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068>, and set <05117> me down in the midst <08432> of the valley <01237> which <01958> [was] full <04392> of bones <06106>,

2 And caused me to pass <05674> by them round < 05439> about: and, behold <02009>, [there were] very <03966> many <07227> in the open <06440> valley <01237>; and, lo <02009>, [they were] very <03966> dry <03002>.

3 And he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, can these <04228> bones <06106> live < 02421>? And I answered <0559>, O Lord <0136> GOD < 03069>, thou knowest <03045>.

4 Again he said <0559> unto me, Prophesy <05012> upon these <04228> bones <06106>, and say <0559> unto them, O ye dry <03002> bones <06106>, hear <08085> the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>.

5 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> unto these <04228> bones <06106>; Behold < 02009>, I will cause breath <07307> to enter <0935> into you, and ye shall live <02421>:

6 And I will lay <05414> sinews <01517> upon you, and will bring <05927> up flesh <01320> upon you, and cover <07159> you with skin <05785>, and put <05414> breath <07307> in you, and ye shall live <02421>; and ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

7 So I prophesied <05012> as I was commanded <06680> : and as I prophesied <05012>, there was a noise <06963>, and behold <02009> a shaking <07494>, and the bones <06106> came <07126> together, bone <06106> to his bone <06106>.

8 And when I beheld <07200>, lo <02009>, the sinews <01517> and the flesh <01320> came <05927> up upon them, and the skin <05785> covered <07159> them above <04605>: but [there was] no <0369> breath <07307> in them.

9 Then said <0559> he unto me, Prophesy <05012> unto the wind <07307>, prophesy <05012>, son <01121> of man <0120>, and say <0559> to the wind <07307>, Thus < 03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Come <0935> from the four <0702> winds <07307>, O breath < 07307>, and breathe <05301> upon these <04228> slain < 02026>, that they may live <02421>.

10 So I prophesied <05012> as he commanded <06680> me, and the breath <07307> came <0935> into them, and they lived <02421>, and stood <05975> up upon their feet < 07272>, an exceeding <03966> great <01419> army < 02428>.

11 Then he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, these <04228> bones <06106> are the whole < 03605> house <01004> of Israel <03478>: behold <02009> , they say <0559>, Our bones <06106> are dried <03001>, and our hope <08615> is lost <06>: we are cut <01504> off for our parts <02506>.

12 Therefore <03651> prophesy <05012> and say < 0559> unto them, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02009>, O my people <05971> , I will open <06605> your graves <06913>, and cause you to come <05927> up out of your graves <06913>, and bring < 0935> you into <0413> the land <0127> of Israel < 03478>.

13 And ye shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD < 03068>, when I have opened <06605> your graves <06913>, O my people <05971>, and brought <05927> you up out of your graves <06913>,

14 And shall put <05414> my spirit <07307> in you, and ye shall live <02421>, and I shall place <03241> you in your own land <0127>: then shall ye know <03045> that I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> [it], and performed < 06213> [it], saith <05002> the LORD <0136>.

15. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came < 01961> again unto me, saying <0559>,

16 Moreover, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, take <03947> thee one <0259> stick <06086>, and write < 03789> upon it, For Judah <03063>, and for the children < 01121> of Israel <03478> his companions <02270>: then take <03947> another <0259> stick <06086>, and write < 03789> upon it, For Joseph <03130>, the stick <06086> of Ephraim <0669>, and [for] all <03605> the house <01004> of Israel <03478> his companions <02270>:

17 And join <07126> them one <0259> to another < 0259> into one <0259> stick <06086>; and they shall become <01961> one <0259> in thine hand <03027>.

18 And when <03588> the children <01121> of thy people <05971> shall speak <0559> unto thee, saying < 0559>, Wilt thou not shew <05046> us what <04100> thou [meanest] by these <04228>?

19 Say <01696> unto them, Thus <03541> saith < 0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02009>, I will take <03947> the stick <06086> of Joseph <03130>, which <0834> [is] in the hand <03027> of Ephraim <0669>, and the tribes <07626> of Israel <03478> his fellows < 02270>, and will put <05414> them with him, [even <0853>] with the stick <06086> of Judah <03063>, and make <06213> them one <0259> stick <06086>, and they shall be one < 0259> in mine hand <03027>.

20 And the sticks <06086> whereon thou writest < 03789> shall be in thine hand <03027> before their eyes < 05869>.

21 And say <01696> unto them, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02009>, I will take <03947> the children <01121> of Israel < 03478> from among <0996> the heathen <01471>, whither they be gone <01980>, and will gather <06908> them on every < 05437> side <05439>, and bring <0935> them into <0413> their own land <0127>:

22 And I will make <06213> them one <0259> nation <01471> in the land <0776> upon the mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>; and one <0259> king <04428> shall be king <04428> to them all <03605>: and they shall be no < 03808> more <05750> two <08147> nations <01471>, neither <03808> shall they be divided <02673> into two < 08147> kingdoms <04467> any more <05750> at all:

23 Neither <03808> shall they defile <02930> themselves any more <05750> with their idols <01544>, nor with their detestable <08251> things, nor with any <03605> of their transgressions <06588>: but I will save <03467> them out of all <03605> their dwellingplaces <04186>, wherein <0834> they have sinned <02398>, and will cleanse <02891> them: so shall they be my people <05971>, and I will be their God <0430> .

24 And David <01732> my servant <05650> [shall be] king <04428> over <05921> them; and they all <03605> shall have <01961> one <0259> shepherd <07462>: they shall also walk <03212> in my judgments <04941>, and observe <08104> my statutes <02708>, and do <06213> them.

25 And they shall dwell <03427> in the land <0776> that I have given <05414> unto Jacob <03290> my servant < 05650>, wherein <0834> your fathers <01> have dwelt < 03427>; and they shall dwell <03427> therein, [even] they, and their children <01121>, and their children's <01121> children <01121> for ever <05769>: and my servant <05650> David <01732> [shall be] their prince <05387> for ever <05769>.

26 Moreover I will make <03772> a covenant <01285> of peace <07965> with them; it shall be an everlasting <05769> covenant <01285> with them: and I will place <05414> them, and multiply <07235> them, and will set <05414> my sanctuary < 04720> in the midst <08432> of them for evermore <05769>.

27 My tabernacle <04908> also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God <0430>, and they shall be my people <05971>.

28 And the heathen <01471> shall know <03045> that I the LORD <03068> do sanctify <06942> Israel <03478>, when my sanctuary <04720> shall be in the midst <08432> of them for evermore <05769>.

Ezekiel 38

1. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came < 01961> unto me, saying <0559>,

2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, set <07760> thy face <06440> against <0413> Gog <01463>, the land < 0776> of Magog <04031>, the chief <07218> prince < 05387> of Meshech <04902> and Tubal <08422>, and prophesy <05012> against <05921> him,

3 And say <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I [am] against <0413> thee, O Gog <01463>, the chief <07218> prince <05387> of Meshech <04902> and Tubal <08422>:

4 And I will turn <07725> thee back <07725>, and put <05414> hooks <02397> into thy jaws <03895>, and I will bring <03318> thee forth <03318>, and all <03605> thine army <02428>, horses <05483> and horsemen <06571>, all <03605> of them clothed <03847> with all <03605> sorts <04358> [of armour <03627>, even] a great <07227> company <06951> [with] bucklers <06793> and shields < 04043>, all <03605> of them handling <08610> swords < 02719>:

5 Persia <06539>, Ethiopia <03568>, and Libya < 06316> with them; all <03605> of them with shield <04043> and helmet <03553>:

6 Gomer <01586>, and all <03605> his bands < 0102>; the house <01004> of Togarmah <08425> of the north <06828> quarters <03411>, and all <03605> his bands < 0102>: [and] many <07227> people <05971> with thee.

7 Be thou prepared <03559>, and prepare <03559> for thyself, thou, and all <03605> thy company <06951> that are assembled <06950> unto thee, and be thou a guard <04929> unto them.

8 After many <07227> days <03117> thou shalt be visited <06485>: in the latter <0319> years <08141> thou shalt come <0935> into <0413> the land <0776> [that is] brought <07725> back <07725> from the sword <02719>, [and is] gathered <06908> out of many <07227> people < 05971>, against <05921> the mountains <02022> of Israel < 03478>, which <0834> have been <01961> always <08548> waste <02723>: but it is brought <03318> forth <03318> out of the nations <01471>, and they shall dwell <03427> safely <0983> all <03605> of them.

9 Thou shalt ascend <05927> and come <0935> like a storm <07722>, thou shalt be like a cloud <06051> to cover < 03680> the land <0776>, thou, and all <03605> thy bands < 0102>, and many <07227> people <05971> with thee.

10 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; It shall also come <01961> to pass, [that] at the same <01931> time <03117> shall things <01697> come < 05927> into <05921> thy mind <03824>, and thou shalt think <02803> an evil <07451> thought <04284>:

11 And thou shalt say <0559>, I will go <05927> up to the land <0776> of unwalled villages <06519>; I will go < 0935> to them that are at rest <08252>, that dwell <03427> safely <0983>, all <03605> of them dwelling <03427> without <0369> walls <02346>, and having neither <0369> bars <01280> nor gates <01817>,

12 To take <07997> a spoil <07998>, and to take < 0962> a prey <0957>; to turn <07725> thine hand < 03027> upon the desolate <02723> places [that are now] inhabited <03427>, and upon the people <05971> [that are] gathered < 0622> out of the nations <01471>, which have gotten <06213> cattle <04735> and goods <07075>, that dwell <03427> in the midst <02872> of the land <0776>.

13 Sheba <07614>, and Dedan <01719>, and the merchants <05503> of Tarshish <08659>, with all <03605> the young <03715> lions <03715> thereof, shall say <0559> unto thee, Art thou come <0935> to take <07997> a spoil < 07998>? hast thou gathered <06950> thy company <06951> to take <0962> a prey <0957>? to carry <05375> away silver <03701> and gold <02091>, to take <03947> away cattle <04735> and goods <07075>, to take <03947> a great < 01419> spoil <07998>?

14. Therefore <03651>, son <01121> of man < 0120>, prophesy <05012> and say <0559> unto Gog < 01463>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; In that day <03117> when my people <05971> of Israel <03478> dwelleth <03427> safely <0983>, shalt thou not know <03045> [it]?

15 And thou shalt come <0935> from thy place <04725> out of the north <06828> parts <03411>, thou, and many < 07227> people <05971> with thee, all <03605> of them riding <07392> upon horses <05483>, a great <01419> company < 06951>, and a mighty <07227> army <02428>:

16 And thou shalt come <05927> up against <05921> my people <05971> of Israel <03478>, as a cloud <06051> to cover <03680> the land <0776>; it shall be in the latter <0319> days <03117>, and I will bring <0935> thee against <05921> my land <0776>, that the heathen <01471> may know <03045> me, when I shall be sanctified <06942> in thee, O Gog <01463>, before their eyes <05869>.

17 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; [Art] thou he of whom <0834> I have spoken < 01696> in old <06931> time <03117> by my servants < 05650> the prophets <05030> of Israel <03478>, which prophesied <05012> in those <01992> days <03117> [many] years <08141> that I would bring <0935> thee against < 05921> them?

18 And it shall come <01961> to pass at the same < 01931> time <03117> when <03117> Gog <01463> shall come <0935> against <05921> the land <0127> of Israel <03478>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, [that] my fury <02534> shall come <05927> up in my face < 0639>.

19 For in my jealousy <07068> [and] in the fire < 0784> of my wrath <05678> have I spoken <01696>, Surely in that day <03117> there shall be a great <01419> shaking < 07494> in the land <0127> of Israel <03478>;

20 So that the fishes <01709> of the sea <03220>, and the fowls <05775> of the heaven <08064>, and the beasts <02416> of the field <07704>, and all <03605> creeping <07431> things that creep <07430> upon the earth <0127>, and all <03605> the men <0120> that [are] upon the face < 06440> of the earth <0127>, shall shake <07493> at my presence <06440>, and the mountains <02022> shall be thrown <02040> down <02040>, and the steep <04095> places shall fall <05307>, and every <03605> wall <02346> shall fall <05307> to the ground <0776>.

21 And I will call <07121> for a sword <02719> against <05921> him throughout all <03605> my mountains < 02022>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>: every man's <0376> sword <02719> shall be against his brother <0251>.

22 And I will plead <08199> against him with pestilence <01698> and with blood <01818>; and I will rain <04305> upon him, and upon his bands <0102>, and upon the many <07227> people <05971> that [are] with him, an overflowing <07857> rain <01653>, and great <0417> hailstones, fire <0784>, and brimstone <01614>.

23 Thus will I magnify <01431> myself, and sanctify < 06942> myself; and I will be known <03045> in the eyes < 05869> of many <07227> nations <01471>, and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

Ezekiel 39

1. Therefore <03651>, thou son <01121> of man < 0120>, prophesy <05012> against <05921> Gog <01463>, and say <0559>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>; Behold <02005>, I [am] against < 0413> thee, O Gog <01463>, the chief <07218> prince < 05387> of Meshech <04902> and Tubal <08422>:

2 And I will turn <07725> thee back <07725>, and leave <08338> but the sixth <08338> part of thee, and will cause thee to come <05927> up from the north <06828> parts < 03411>, and will bring <0935> thee upon the mountains < 02022> of Israel <03478>:

3 And I will smite <05221> thy bow <07198> out of thy left <08040> hand <03027>, and will cause thine arrows < 02671> to fall <05307> out of thy right <03225> hand < 03027>.

4 Thou shalt fall <05307> upon the mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>, thou, and all <03605> thy bands < 0102>, and the people <05971> that [is] with thee: I will give <05414> thee unto the ravenous <05861> birds <06833> of every <03605> sort <03671>, and [to] the beasts <02416> of the field <07704> to be devoured <0402>.

5 Thou shalt fall <05307> upon the open <06440> field <07704>: for I have spoken <01696> [it], saith < 05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

6 And I will send <07971> a fire <0784> on Magog <04031>, and among them that dwell <03427> carelessly < 0983> in the isles <0339>: and they shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>.

7 So will I make my holy <06944> name <08034> known <03045> in the midst <08432> of my people <05971> Israel <03478>; and I will not [let them] pollute <02490> my holy < 06944> name <08034> any more <05750>: and the heathen < 01471> shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068>, the Holy <06918> One in Israel <03478>.

8. Behold <02009>, it is come <0935>, and it is done, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; this < 01931> [is] the day <03117> whereof <0834> I have spoken <01696>.

9 And they that dwell <03427> in the cities <05892> of Israel <03478> shall go <03318> forth <03318>, and shall set <01197> on fire <0784> and burn <05400> the weapons <05402>, both the shields <04043> and the bucklers < 06793>, the bows <07198> and the arrows <02671>, and the handstaves, and the spears <07420>, and they shall burn <01197> them with fire <0784> seven <07651> years <08141>:

10 So that they shall take <05375> no <03808> wood <06086> out of the field <07704>, neither <03808> cut <02404> down [any] out of the forests <03293>; for they shall burn <01197> the weapons <05402> with fire <05135>: and they shall spoil <07997> those that spoiled <07997> them, and rob <0962> those that robbed <0962> them, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

11 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day < 03117>, [that] I will give <05414> unto Gog <01463> a place <04725> there <08033> of graves <06913> in Israel < 03478>, the valley <01516> of the passengers <05674> on the east <06926> of the sea <03220>: and it shall stop < 02629> the [noses] of the passengers <05674>: and there < 08033> shall they bury <06912> Gog <01463> and all < 03605> his multitude <01995>: and they shall call <07121> [it] The valley <01516> of Hamongog <01996>.

12 And seven <07651> months <02320> shall the house <01004> of Israel <03478> be burying <06912> of them, that they may cleanse <02891> the land <0776>.

13 Yea, all <03605> the people <05971> of the land <0776> shall bury <06912> [them]; and it shall be to them a renown <08034> the day <03117> that I shall be glorified < 03513>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

14 And they shall sever <0914> out men <0582> of continual <08548> employment, passing <05674> through the land <0776> to bury <06912> with the passengers <05674> those that remain <03498> upon the face <06440> of the earth < 0776>, to cleanse <02891> it: after the end <07097> of seven <07651> months <02320> shall they search <02713>.

15 And the passengers <05674> [that] pass <05674> through the land <0776>, when [any] seeth <07200> a man's < 0120> bone <06106>, then shall he set <01129> up a sign < 06725> by it, till <05704> the buriers <06912> have buried <06912> it in the valley <01516> of Hamongog <01996>.

16 And also <01571> the name <08034> of the city <05892> [shall be] Hamonah <01997>. Thus shall they cleanse <02891> the land <0776>.

17 And, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, thus < 03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Speak <0559> unto every <03605> feathered <03671> fowl <06833>, and to every <03605> beast <02416> of the field <07704>, Assemble <06908> yourselves, and come <0935>; gather <0622> yourselves on every <05437> side <05439> to my sacrifice <02077> that I do sacrifice <02076> for you, [even] a great <01419> sacrifice <02077> upon the mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>, that ye may eat <0398> flesh <01320>, and drink <08354> blood <01818>.

18 Ye shall eat <0398> the flesh <01320> of the mighty <01368>, and drink <08354> the blood <01818> of the princes <05387> of the earth <0776>, of rams <0352>, of lambs <03733>, and of goats <06260>, of bullocks < 06499>, all <03605> of them fatlings <04806> of Bashan < 01316>.

19 And ye shall eat <0398> fat <02459> till ye be full <07654>, and drink <08354> blood <01818> till ye be drunken <07943>, of my sacrifice <02076> which <0834> I have sacrificed <02076> for you.

20 Thus ye shall be filled <07646> at <05921> my table <07979> with horses <05483> and chariots <07393>, with mighty <01368> men, and with all <03605> men <0376> of war <04421>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD < 03069>.

21 And I will set <05414> my glory <03519> among the heathen <01471>, and all <03605> the heathen <01471> shall see <07200> my judgment <04941> that I have executed < 06213>, and my hand <03027> that I have laid <07760> upon them.

22 So the house <01004> of Israel <03478> shall know <03045> that I [am] the LORD <03068> their God < 0430> from that day <03117> and forward <01973>.

23. And the heathen <01471> shall know <03045> that the house <01004> of Israel <03478> went into captivity < 01540> for their iniquity <05771>: because they trespassed < 04603> against me, therefore hid <05641> I my face <06440> from them, and gave <05414> them into the hand <03027> of their enemies <06862>: so fell <05307> they all <03605> by the sword <02719>.

24 According to their uncleanness <02932> and according to their transgressions <06588> have I done <06213> unto them, and hid <05641> my face <06440> from them.

25 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Now <06258> will I bring <07725> again <07725> the captivity <07622> of Jacob < 03290>, and have mercy <07355> upon the whole <03605> house <01004> of Israel <03478>, and will be jealous <07065> for my holy <06944> name <08034>;

26 After that they have borne <05375> their shame < 03639>, and all <03605> their trespasses <04604> whereby <0834> they have trespassed <04603> against me, when they dwelt <03427> safely <0983> in their land <0127>, and none <0369> made [them] afraid <02729>.

27 When I have brought <07725> them again <07725> from the people <05971>, and gathered <06908> them out of their enemies <0341>' lands <0776>, and am sanctified < 06942> in them in the sight <05869> of many <07227> nations <01471>;

28 Then shall they know <03045> that I [am] the LORD < 03068> their God <0430>, which caused them to be led into captivity <01473> among <0413> the heathen <01471>: but I have gathered <03664> them unto their own land <0127>, and have left <03498> none <03808> of them any more <05750> there <08033>.

29 Neither <03808> will I hide <05641> my face < 06440> any more <05750> from them: for I have poured <08210> out my spirit <07307> upon the house <01004> of Israel < 03478>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 40

1. In the five <02568> and twentieth <06242> year <08141> of our captivity <01546>, in the beginning < 07218> of the year <08141>, in the tenth <06218> [day] of the month <02320>, in the fourteenth year <08141> after < 0310> that the city <05892> was smitten <05221>, in the selfsame day <03117> the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> was upon me, and brought <0935> me thither <08033>.

2 In the visions <04759> of God <0430> brought < 0935> he me into <0413> the land <0776> of Israel < 03478>, and set <05117> me upon a very <03966> high < 01364> mountain <02022>, by which [was] as the frame <04011> of a city <05892> on the south <05045>.

3 And he brought <0935> me thither <08033>, and, behold <02009>, [there was] a man <0376>, whose appearance < 04758> [was] like the appearance <04758> of brass <05178>, with a line <06616> of flax <06593> in his hand <03027>, and a measuring <04060> reed <07070>; and he stood < 05975> in the gate <08179>.

4 And the man <0376> said <01696> unto me, Son < 01121> of man <0120>, behold <07200> with thine eyes < 05869>, and hear <08085> with thine ears <0241>, and set <07760> thine heart <03820> upon all <03605> that I shall shew <07200> thee; for to the intent <04616> that I might shew <07200> [them] unto thee [art] thou brought <0935> hither: declare <05046> all <03605> that thou seest < 07200> to the house <01004> of Israel <03478>.

5. And behold <02009> a wall <02346> on the outside <02351> of the house <01004> round <05439> about, and in the man's hand <03027> a measuring <04060> reed <07070> of six <08337> cubits <0520> [long] by the cubit <0520> and an hand <02948> breadth <02948>: so he measured < 04058> the breadth <07341> of the building <01146>, one < 0259> reed <07070>; and the height <06967>, one <0259> reed <07070>.

6 Then came <0935> he unto the gate <08179> which <0834> looketh <06440> toward <01870> the east < 06921>, and went <05927> up the stairs <04609> thereof, and measured <04058> the threshold <05592> of the gate < 08179>, [which was] one <0259> reed <07070> broad < 07341>; and the other <0259> threshold <05592> [of the gate, which was] one <0259> reed <07070> broad <07341>.

7 And [every] little chamber <08372> [was] one < 0259> reed <07070> long <0753>, and one <0259> reed <07070> broad <07341>; and between <0996> the little chambers <08372> [were] five <02568> cubits <0520>; and the threshold <05592> of the gate <08179> by the porch < 0197> of the gate <08179> within <01004> [was] one < 0259> reed <07070>.

8 He measured <04058> also the porch <0197> of the gate <08179> within <01004>, one <0259> reed < 07070>.

9 Then measured <04058> he the porch <0197> of the gate <08179>, eight <08083> cubits <0520>; and the posts <0352> thereof, two <08147> cubits <0520>; and the porch <0197> of the gate <08179> [was] inward <01004>.

10 And the little chambers <08372> of the gate < 08179> eastward [were] three <07969> on this <06311> side <06311>, and three <07969> on that side <06311>; they three <07969> [were] of one <0259> measure <04060>: and the posts <0352> had one <0259> measure <04060> on this <06311> side and on that side.

11 And he measured <04058> the breadth <07341> of the entry <06607> of the gate <08179>, ten <06235> cubits <0520>; [and] the length <0753> of the gate < 08179>, thirteen cubits <0520>.

12 The space <01366> also before <06440> the little chambers <08372> [was] one <0259> cubit <0520> [on this side], and the space <01366> [was] one cubit <0520> on that side: and the little chambers <08372> [were] six <08337> cubits <0520> on this <06311> side, and six <08337> cubits <0520> on that side.

13 He measured <04058> then the gate <08179> from the roof <01406> of [one] little chamber <08372> to the roof <01406> of another: the breadth <07341> [was] five < 02568> and twenty <06242> cubits <0520>, door <06607> against <05048> door <06607>.

14 He made <06213> also posts <0352> of threescore <07657> cubits <0520>, even unto the post <0352> of the court <02691> round <05439> about the gate <08179>.

15 And from the face <06440> of the gate <08179> of the entrance <02978> unto the face <06440> of the porch < 0197> of the inner <06442> gate <08179> [were] fifty < 02572> cubits <0520>.

16 And [there were] narrow <0331> windows <02474> to the little chambers <08372>, and to their posts <0352> within <06441> the gate <08179> round <05439> about, and likewise <03651> to the arches <0361>: and windows < 02474> [were] round <05439> about inward <06441>: and upon [each] post <0352> [were] palm <08561> trees.

17 Then brought <0935> he me into <0413> the outward <02435> court <02691>, and, lo <02009>, [there were] chambers <03957>, and a pavement <07531> made < 06213> for the court <02691> round <05439> about: thirty <07970> chambers <03957> [were] upon the pavement <07531> .

18 And the pavement <07531> by the side <03802> of the gates <08179> over <05980> against <05980> the length <0753> of the gates <08179> [was] the lower < 08481> pavement <07531>.

19 Then he measured <04058> the breadth <07341> from the forefront <06440> of the lower <08481> gate < 08179> unto the forefront <06440> of the inner <06442> court <02691> without <02351>, an hundred <03967> cubits <0520> eastward <06921> and northward <06828>.

20 And the gate <08179> of the outward <02435> court <02691> that looked <06440> toward <01870> the north <06828>, he measured <04058> the length <0753> thereof, and the breadth <07341> thereof.

21 And the little chambers <08372> thereof [were] three <07969> on this <06311> side and three <07969> on that side; and the posts <0352> thereof and the arches <0361> thereof were after the measure <04060> of the first <07223> gate <08179>: the length <0753> thereof [was] fifty < 02572> cubits <0520>, and the breadth <07341> five < 02568> and twenty <06242> cubits <0520>.

22 And their windows <02474>, and their arches < 0361>, and their palm <08561> trees, [were] after the measure < 04060> of the gate <08179> that looketh <06440> toward < 01870> the east <06921>; and they went <05927> up unto it by seven <07651> steps <04609>; and the arches <0361> thereof [were] before <06440> them.

23 And the gate <08179> of the inner <06442> court <02691> [was] over <05048> against <05048> the gate < 08179> toward the north <06828>, and toward the east <06921> ; and he measured <04058> from gate <08179> to gate < 08179> an hundred <03967> cubits <0520>.

24 After that he brought <03212> me toward <01870> the south <01864>, and behold <02009> a gate <08179> toward <01870> the south <01864>: and he measured <04058> the posts <0352> thereof and the arches <0361> thereof according to these <04228> measures <04060>.

25 And [there were] windows <02474> in it and in the arches <0361> thereof round <05439> about, like those < 0428> windows <02474>: the length <0753> [was] fifty < 02572> cubits <0520>, and the breadth <07341> five < 02568> and twenty <06242> cubits <0520>.

26 And [there were] seven <07651> steps <04609> to go <05930> up to it, and the arches <0361> thereof [were] before <06440> them: and it had palm <08561> trees, one < 0259> on this <06311> side, and another <0259> on that side, upon the posts <0352> thereof.

27. And [there was] a gate <08179> in the inner < 06442> court <02691> toward <01870> the south <01864>: and he measured <04058> from gate <08179> to gate < 08179> toward <01870> the south <01864> an hundred < 03967> cubits <0520>.

28 And he brought <0935> me to the inner <06442> court <02691> by the south <01864> gate <08179>: and he measured <04058> the south <01864> gate <08179> according to these <04228> measures <04060>;

29 And the little chambers <08372> thereof, and the posts <0352> thereof, and the arches <0361> thereof, according to these <04228> measures <04060>: and [there were] windows < 02474> in it and in the arches <0361> thereof round <05439> about: [it was] fifty <02572> cubits <0520> long <0753>, and five <02568> and twenty <06242> cubits <0520> broad <07341>.

30 And the arches <0361> round <05439> about [were] five <02568> and twenty <06242> cubits <0520> long < 0753>, and five <02568> cubits <0520> broad <07341>.

31 And the arches <0361> thereof [were] toward < 0413> the utter <02435> court <02691>; and palm < 08561> trees [were] upon the posts <0352> thereof: and the going <04608> up to it [had] eight <08083> steps <04609>.

32 And he brought <0935> me into <0413> the inner <06442> court <02691> toward <01870> the east < 06921>: and he measured <04058> the gate <08179> according to these <04228> measures <04060>.

33 And the little chambers <08372> thereof, and the posts <0352> thereof, and the arches <0361> thereof, [were] according to these <04228> measures <04060>: and [there were] windows <02474> therein and in the arches <0361> thereof round <05439> about: [it was] fifty <02572> cubits <0520> long <0753>, and five <02568> and twenty <06242> cubits < 0520> broad <07341>.

34 And the arches <0361> thereof [were] toward the outward <02435> court <02691>; and palm <08561> trees [were] upon the posts <0352> thereof, on this <06311> side, and on that side: and the going <04608> up to it [had] eight < 08083> steps <04609>.

35 And he brought <0935> me to the north <06828> gate <08179>, and measured <04058> [it] according to these < 04228> measures <04060>;

36 The little chambers <08372> thereof, the posts < 0352> thereof, and the arches <0361> thereof, and the windows < 02474> to it round <05439> about: the length <0753> [was] fifty <02572> cubits <0520>, and the breadth <07341> five <02568> and twenty <06242> cubits <0520>.

37 And the posts <0352> thereof [were] toward the utter <02435> court <02691>; and palm <08561> trees [were] upon the posts <0352> thereof, on this <06311> side, and on that side: and the going <04608> up to it [had] eight <08083> steps <04609>.

38 And the chambers <03957> and the entries <06607> thereof [were] by the posts <0352> of the gates <08179>, where <08033> they washed <01740> the burnt <05930> offering.

39. And in the porch <0197> of the gate <08179> [were] two <08147> tables <07979> on this <06311> side, and two tables <07979> on that side, to slay <07819> thereon <05921> the burnt <05930> offering and the sin <02403> offering and the trespass <0817> offering.

40 And at <0413> the side <03802> without < 02351>, as one <0259> goeth <05927> up to the entry < 06607> of the north <06828> gate <08179>, [were] two < 08147> tables <07979>; and on <0413> the other <0312> side <03802>, which <0834> [was] at the porch <0197> of the gate <08179>, [were] two <08147> tables <07979>.

41 Four <0702> tables <07979> [were] on this < 06311> side <03802>, and four <0702> tables <07979> on that side <03802>, by the side <03802> of the gate < 08179>; eight <08083> tables <07979>, whereupon <0413> they slew <07819> [their sacrifices].

42 And the four <0702> tables <07979> [were] of hewn <01496> stone <068> for the burnt <05930> offering, of a cubit <0520> and an half <02677> long <0753>, and a cubit <0520> and an half <02677> broad <07341>, and one <0259> cubit <0520> high <01363>: whereupon <0413> also they laid <03240> the instruments <03627> wherewith < 0834> they slew <07819> the burnt <05930> offering and the sacrifice <02077>.

43 And within <01004> [were] hooks <08240>, an hand <02948> broad, fastened <03559> round <05439> about: and upon the tables <07979> [was] the flesh <01320> of the offering <07133>.

44 And without <02351> the inner <06442> gate < 08179> [were] the chambers <03957> of the singers <07891> in the inner <06442> court <02691>, which <0834> [was] at <0413> the side <03802> of the north <06828> gate < 08179>; and their prospect <06440> [was] toward <01870> the south <01864>: one <0259> at <0413> the side < 03802> of the east <06921> gate <08179> [having] the prospect <06440> toward <01870> the north <06828>.

45 And he said <01696> unto me, This <02090> chamber <03957>, whose <0834> prospect <06440> [is] toward <01870> the south <01864>, [is] for the priests < 03548>, the keepers <08104> of the charge <04931> of the house <01004>.

46 And the chamber <03957> whose <0834> prospect <06440> [is] toward <01870> the north <06828> [is] for the priests <03548>, the keepers <08104> of the charge < 04931> of the altar <04196>: these <01992> [are] the sons <01121> of Zadok <06659> among the sons <01121> of Levi <03878>, which come <07131> near <07131> to the LORD < 03068> to minister <08334> unto him.

47 So he measured <04058> the court <02691>, an hundred <03967> cubits <0520> long <0753>, and an hundred <03967> cubits <0520> broad <07341>, foursquare <07251>; and the altar <04196> [that was] before <06440> the house <01004>.

48 And he brought <0935> me to the porch <0197> of the house <01004>, and measured <04058> [each] post < 0352> of the porch <0197>, five <02568> cubits <0520> on this <06311> side, and five <02568> cubits <0520> on that side: and the breadth <07341> of the gate <08179> [was] three <07969> cubits <0520> on this <06311> side, and three <07969> cubits <0520> on that side.

49 The length <0753> of the porch <0197> [was] twenty <06242> cubits <0520>, and the breadth <07341> eleven cubits <0520>; and [he brought me] by the steps <04609> whereby <0834> they went <05927> up to it: and [there were] pillars <05982> by the posts <0352>, one <0259> on this <06311> side, and another <0259> on that side.

Ezekiel 41

1. Afterward he brought <0935> me to the temple < 01964>, and measured <04058> the posts <0352>, six < 08337> cubits <0520> broad <07341> on the one side < 06311>, and six <08337> cubits <0520> broad <07341> on the other <06311> side, [which was] the breadth <07341> of the tabernacle <0168>.

2 And the breadth <07341> of the door <06607> [was] ten <06235> cubits <0520>; and the sides <03802> of the door <06607> [were] five <02568> cubits <0520> on the one side, and five <02568> cubits <0520> on the other < 06311> side: and he measured <04058> the length <0753> thereof, forty <0705> cubits <0520>: and the breadth < 07341>, twenty <06242> cubits <0520>.

3 Then went <0935> he inward <06441>, and measured <04058> the post <0352> of the door <06607>, two < 08147> cubits <0520>; and the door <06607>, six < 08337> cubits <0520>; and the breadth <07341> of the door <06607>, seven <07651> cubits <0520>.

4 So he measured <04058> the length <0753> thereof, twenty <06242> cubits <0520>; and the breadth <07341>, twenty <06242> cubits <0520>, before the temple <01964>: and he said <0559> unto me, This <02088> [is] the most < 06944> holy <06944> [place].

5 After he measured <04058> the wall <07023> of the house <01004>, six <08337> cubits <0520>; and the breadth <07341> of [every] side <06763> chamber <06763>, four <0702> cubits <0520>, round <05439> about the house <01004> on every <05437> side <05439>.

6 And the side <06763> chambers <06763> [were] three <07969>, one over <0413> another, and thirty < 07970> in order <06471>; and they entered <0935> into the wall <07023> which <0834> [was] of the house <01004> for the side <06763> chambers <06763> round <05439> about, that they might have <01961> hold <0270>, but they had < 01961> not hold <0270> in the wall <07023> of the house < 01004>.

7 And [there was] an enlarging <07337>, and a winding < 05437> about still upward <04605> to the side <06763> chambers <06763>: for the winding <04141> about of the house <01004> went still upward <04605> round <05439> about the house <01004>: therefore the breadth <07341> of the house <01004> [was still] upward <04605>, and so increased < 05927> [from] the lowest <08481> [chamber] to the highest < 05945> by the midst <08484>.

8 I saw <07200> also the height <01364> of the house <01004> round <05439> about: the foundations < 04328> of the side <06763> chambers <06763> [were] a full <04393> reed <07070> of six <08337> great <0679> cubits <0520>.

9 The thickness <07341> of the wall <07023>, which <0834> [was] for the side <06763> chamber <06763> without <02351>, [was] five <02568> cubits <0520>: and [that] which [was] left <03240> [was] the place <01004> of the side <06763> chambers <06763> that [were] within <01004>.

10 And between <0996> the chambers <03957> [was] the wideness <07341> of twenty <06242> cubits <0520> round <05439> about the house <01004> on every <05437> side <05439>.

11 And the doors <06607> of the side <06763> chambers <06763> [were] toward <01870> [the place that was] left <03240>, one <0259> door <06607> toward < 01870> the north <06828>, and another <0259> door < 06607> toward <01870> the south <01864>: and the breadth <07341> of the place <04725> that was left <03240> [was] five <02568> cubits <0520> round <05439> about.

12. Now the building <01146> that [was] before the separate <01508> place at the end <06285> toward <01870> the west <03220> [was] seventy <07657> cubits <0520> broad <07341>; and the wall <07023> of the building < 01146> [was] five <02568> cubits <0520> thick <07341> round <05439> about, and the length <0753> thereof ninety < 08673> cubits <0520>.

13 So he measured <04058> the house <01004>, an hundred <03967> cubits <0520> long <0753>; and the separate <01508> place, and the building <01140>, with the walls <07023> thereof, an hundred <03967> cubits <0520> long <0753>;

14 Also the breadth <07341> of the face <06440> of the house <01004>, and of the separate <01508> place toward the east <06921>, an hundred <03967> cubits <0520>.

15 And he measured <04058> the length <0753> of the building <01146> over against <06440> the separate < 01508> place which <0834> [was] behind <0310> it, and the galleries <0862> thereof on the one side and on the other < 06311> side, an hundred <03967> cubits <0520>, with the inner <06442> temple <01964>, and the porches <0197> of the court <02691>;

16 The door <05592> posts <05592>, and the narrow <0331> windows <02474>, and the galleries <0862> round <05439> about on their three <07969> stories, over < 05048> against <05048> the door <05592>, cieled < 07824> with wood <06086> round <05439> about, and from the ground <0776> up to the windows <02474>, and the windows < 02474> [were] covered <03680>;

17 To that above <05921> the door <06607>, even unto the inner <06442> house <01004>, and without <02351> , and by all <03605> the wall <07023> round <05439> about within <06442> and without <02435>, by measure < 04060>.

18 And [it was] made <06213> with cherubims <03742> and palm trees, so that a palm tree [was] between <0996> a cherub <03742> and a cherub <03742>; and [every] cherub <03742> had two <08147> faces <06440>;

19 So that the face <06440> of a man <0120> [was] toward <0413> the palm <08561> tree on the one side, and the face <06440> of a young <03715> lion <03715> toward < 0413> the palm <08561> tree on the other <06311> side: [it was] made <06213> through <0413> all <03605> the house <01004> round <05439> about.

20 From the ground <0776> unto above <05921> the door <06607> [were] cherubims <03742> and palm <08561> trees made <06213>, and [on] the wall <07023> of the temple <01964>.

21 The posts <04201> of the temple <01964> [were] squared <07251>, [and] the face <06440> of the sanctuary < 06944>; the appearance <04758> [of the one] as the appearance < 04758> [of the other].

22 The altar <04196> of wood <06086> [was] three <07969> cubits <0520> high <01364>, and the length < 0753> thereof two <08147> cubits <0520>; and the corners <04740> thereof, and the length <0753> thereof, and the walls <07023> thereof, [were] of wood <06086>: and he said < 01696> unto me, This <02088> [is] the table <07979> that [is] before <06440> the LORD <03068>.

23 And the temple <01964> and the sanctuary <06944> had two <08147> doors <01817>.

24 And the doors <01817> had two <08147> leaves < 01817> [apiece], two <08147> turning <04142> leaves < 01817>; two <08147> [leaves] for the one <0259> door < 01817>, and two <08147> leaves <01817> for the other < 0312> [door <01817>].

25 And [there were] made <06213> on <0413> them, on <0413> the doors <01817> of the temple <01964>, cherubims <03742> and palm <08561> trees, like as [were] made <06213> upon the walls <07023>; and [there were] thick < 05645> planks <06086> upon the face <06440> of the porch <0197> without <02351>.

26 And [there were] narrow <0331> windows <02474> and palm <08561> trees on the one side and on the other <06311> side, on <0413> the sides <03802> of the porch <0197>, and [upon] the side <06763> chambers <06763> of the house < 01004>, and thick planks <05646>.

Ezekiel 42

1. Then he brought <03318> me forth <03318> into < 0413> the utter <02435> court <02691>, the way <01870> toward <01870> the north <06828>: and he brought <0935> me into <0413> the chamber <03957> that [was] over < 05048> against <05048> the separate <01508> place, and which <0834> [was] before <06440> the building <01146> toward <0413> the north <06828>.

2 Before the length <0753> of an hundred <03967> cubits <0520> [was] the north <06828> door <06607>, and the breadth <07341> [was] fifty <02572> cubits <0520>.

3 Over <05048> against <05048> the twenty < 06242> [cubits] which <0834> [were] for the inner <06442> court <02691>, and over <05048> against <05048> the pavement <07531> which <0834> [was] for the utter <02435> court <02691>, [was] gallery <0862> against gallery < 0862> in three <07992> [stories].

4 And before <06440> the chambers <03957> [was] a walk <04109> of ten <06235> cubits <0520> breadth < 07341> inward <06442>, a way <01870> of one <0259> cubit <0520>; and their doors <06607> toward the north < 06828>.

5 Now the upper <05945> chambers <03957> [were] shorter <07114>: for the galleries <0862> were higher < 03201> than these <02007>, than the lower <08481>, and than the middlemost <08484> of the building <01146>.

6 For they [were] in three <08027> [stories], but had not pillars <05982> as the pillars <05982> of the courts < 02691>: therefore [the building] was straitened <0680> more than the lowest <08481> and the middlemost <08484> from the ground <0776>.

7 And the wall <01447> that [was] without <02351> over <05980> against <05980> the chambers <03957>, toward <01870> the utter <02435> court <02691> on the forepart <06440> of the chambers <03957>, the length < 0753> thereof [was] fifty <02572> cubits <0520>.

8 For the length <0753> of the chambers <03957> that [were] in the utter <02435> court <02691> [was] fifty < 02572> cubits <0520>: and, lo <02009>, before the temple <01964> [were] an hundred <03967> cubits <0520>.

9 And from under <08478> these <0428> chambers < 03957> [was] the entry <03996> on the east <06921> side < 06921>, as one goeth <0935> into them from the utter <02435> court <02691>.

10 The chambers <03957> [were] in the thickness < 07341> of the wall <01444> of the court <02691> toward < 01870> the east <06921>, over against <06440> the separate <01508> place, and over against <06440> the building < 01146>.

11 And the way <01870> before <06440> them [was] like the appearance <04758> of the chambers <03957> which < 0834> [were] toward <01870> the north <06828>, as long < 0753> as they, [and] as broad <07342> as they: and all < 03605> their goings <04161> out [were] both according to their fashions <04941>, and according to their doors <06607>.

12 And according to the doors <06607> of the chambers < 03957> that [were] toward <01870> the south <01864> [was] a door <06607> in the head <07218> of the way <01870>, [even] the way <01870> directly <01903> before <06440> the wall <01448> toward <01870> the east <06921>, as one entereth <0935> into them.

13 Then said <0559> he unto me, The north <06828> chambers <03957> [and] the south <01864> chambers <03957> , which <0834> [are] before the separate <01508> place, they [be] holy <06944> chambers <03957>, where the priests < 03548> that approach <07138> unto the LORD <03068> shall eat <0398> the most <06944> holy <06944> things: there <08033> shall they lay <03241> the most <06944> holy < 06944> things, and the meat offering <04503>, and the sin < 02403> offering, and the trespass <0817> offering; for the place <04725> [is] holy <06918>.

14 When the priests <03548> enter <0935> therein, then shall they not go <03318> out of the holy <06944> [place] into <0413> the utter <02435> court <02691>, but there <08033> they shall lay <03241> their garments <0899> wherein <0834> they minister <08334>; for they [are] holy; and shall put <03847> on other <0312> garments <0899>, and shall approach <07126> to [those things] which <0834> [are] for the people <05971>.

15. Now when he had made an end <03615> of measuring < 04060> the inner <06442> house <01004>, he brought < 03318> me forth <03318> toward <01870> the gate < 08179> whose <0834> prospect <06440> [is] toward < 01870> the east <06921>, and measured <04058> it round < 05439> about.

16 He measured <04058> the east <06921> side < 07307> with the measuring <04060> reed <07070>, five < 02568> hundred <0520> reeds <07070>, with the measuring < 04060> reed <07070> round <05439> about.

17 He measured <04058> the north <06828> side < 07307>, five <02568> hundred <03967> reeds <07070>, with the measuring <04060> reed <07070> round <05439> about.

18 He measured <04058> the south <01864> side < 07307>, five <02568> hundred <03967> reeds <07070>, with the measuring <04060> reed <07070>.

19 He turned <05437> about to the west <03220> side <07307>, [and] measured <04058> five <02568> hundred < 03967> reeds <07070> with the measuring <04060> reed < 07070>.

20 He measured <04058> it by the four <0702> sides <07307>: it had a wall <02346> round <05439> about, five <02568> hundred <03967> [reeds] long <0753>, and five <02568> hundred <03967> broad <07341>, to make a separation <0914> between <0996> the sanctuary <06944> and the profane <02455> place.

Ezekiel 43

1. Afterward he brought <03212> me to the gate < 08179>, [even] the gate <08179> that looketh <06437> toward <01870> the east <06921>:

2 And, behold <02009>, the glory <03519> of the God <0430> of Israel <03478> came <0935> from the way < 01870> of the east <06921>: and his voice <06963> [was] like a noise <06963> of many <07227> waters <04325>: and the earth <0776> shined <0215> with his glory <03519>.

3 And [it was] according to the appearance <04758> of the vision <04758> which <0834> I saw <07200>, [even] according to the vision <04758> that I saw <07200> when I came <0935> to destroy <07843> the city <05892>: and the visions <04759> [were] like the vision <04758> that I saw < 07200> by the river <05104> Chebar <03529>; and I fell < 05307> upon my face <06440>.

4 And the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> came <0935> into <0413> the house <01004> by the way < 01870> of the gate <08179> whose <0834> prospect < 06440> [is] toward <01870> the east <06921>.

5 So the spirit <07307> took <05375> me up, and brought <0935> me into <0413> the inner <06442> court <02691>; and, behold <02009>, the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> filled <04390> the house <01004>.

6 And I heard <08085> [him] speaking <01696> unto me out of the house <01004>; and the man <0376> stood < 05975> by me.

7. And he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, the place <04725> of my throne <03678>, and the place <04725> of the soles <03709> of my feet <07272>, where I will dwell <07931> in the midst <08432> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> for ever <05769>, and my holy <06944> name <08034>, shall the house <01004> of Israel <03478> no <03808> more <05750> defile < 02930>, [neither] they, nor their kings <04428>, by their whoredom <02184>, nor by the carcases <06297> of their kings <04428> in their high <01116> places.

8 In their setting <05414> of their threshold < 05592> by my thresholds <05592>, and their post <04201> by my posts <04201>, and the wall <07023> between <0996> me and them, they have even defiled <02930> my holy <06944> name <08034> by their abominations <08441> that they have committed <06213>: wherefore I have consumed <0398> them in mine anger <0639>.

9 Now <06258> let them put <07368> away < 07368> their whoredom <02184>, and the carcases <06297> of their kings <04428>, far <07350> from me, and I will dwell < 07931> in the midst <08432> of them for ever <05769>.

10 Thou son <01121> of man <0120>, shew < 05046> the house <01004> to the house <01004> of Israel < 03478>, that they may be ashamed <03637> of their iniquities < 05771>: and let them measure <04058> the pattern <08508>.

11 And if <0518> they be ashamed <03637> of all < 03605> that they have done <06213>, shew <03045> them the form <06699> of the house <01004>, and the fashion < 08498> thereof, and the goings <04161> out thereof, and the comings <04126> in thereof, and all <03605> the forms < 06699> thereof, and all <03605> the ordinances <02708> thereof, and all <03605> the forms <06699> thereof, and all <03605> the laws <08451> thereof: and write <03789> [it] in their sight <05869>, that they may keep <08104> the whole <03605> form <06699> thereof, and all <03605> the ordinances <02708> thereof, and do <06213> them.

12 This <02063> [is] the law <08451> of the house <01004>; Upon the top <07218> of the mountain <02022> the whole <03605> limit <01366> thereof round <05439> about [shall be] most <06944> holy <06944>. Behold < 02009>, this <02063> [is] the law <08451> of the house < 01004>.

13. And these <0428> [are] the measures <04060> of the altar <04196> after the cubits <0520>: The cubit < 0520> [is] a cubit <0520> and an hand <02948> breadth < 02948>; even the bottom <02436> [shall be] a cubit <0520>, and the breadth <07341> a cubit <0520>, and the border < 01366> thereof by the edge thereof round <05439> about [shall be] a span <02239>: and this <02088> [shall be] the higher < 01354> place of the altar <04196>.

14 And from the bottom <02436> [upon] the ground < 0776> [even] to the lower <08481> settle <05835> [shall be] two <08147> cubits <0520>, and the breadth <07341> one <0259> cubit <0520>; and from the lesser <06996> settle <05835> [even] to the greater <01419> settle <05835> [shall be] four <0702> cubits <0520>, and the breadth < 07341> [one] cubit <0520>.

15 So the altar <0741> [shall be] four <0702> cubits <0520>; and from the altar <0741> and upward < 04605> [shall be] four <0702> horns <07161>.

16 And the altar <0741> [shall be] twelve [cubits] long <0753>, twelve broad <07341>, square <07251> in the four <0702> squares <07253> thereof.

17 And the settle <05835> [shall be] fourteen [cubits] long <0753> and fourteen broad <07341> in the four <0702> squares <07253> thereof; and the border <01366> about < 05439> it [shall be] half <02677> a cubit <0520>; and the bottom <03247> thereof [shall be] a cubit <0520> about < 05439>; and his stairs <04609> shall look <06437> toward the east <06921>.

18 And he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; These <0428> [are] the ordinances <02708> of the altar <04196> in the day <03117> when they shall make <06213> it, to offer <05927> burnt <05930> offerings thereon <05921>, and to sprinkle <02236> blood <01818> thereon <05921>.

19 And thou shalt give <05414> to the priests < 03548> the Levites <03881> that be of the seed <02233> of Zadok <06659>, which approach <07126> unto me, to minister < 08334> unto me, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD < 03069>, a young bullock <06499> for a sin <02403> offering.

20 And thou shalt take <03947> of the blood <01818> thereof, and put <05414> [it] on <05921> the four <0702> horns <07161> of it, and on <0413> the four <0702> corners <06438> of the settle <05835>, and upon the border < 01366> round <05439> about: thus shalt thou cleanse <02398> and purge <03722> it.

21 Thou shalt take <03947> the bullock <06499> also of the sin <02403> offering, and he shall burn <08313> it in the appointed <04662> place of the house <01004>, without < 02351> the sanctuary <04720>.

22 And on the second <08145> day <03117> thou shalt offer <07126> a kid <08163> of the goats <05795> without <08549> blemish <08549> for a sin <02403> offering; and they shall cleanse <02398> the altar <04196>, as they did cleanse <02398> [it] with the bullock <06499>.

23 When thou hast made an end <03615> of cleansing < 02893> [it], thou shalt offer <07126> a young bullock < 06499> without <08549> blemish <08549>, and a ram < 0352> out of the flock <06629> without <08549> blemish < 08549>.

24 And thou shalt offer <07126> them before <06440> the LORD <03068>, and the priests <03548> shall cast < 07993> salt <04417> upon them, and they shall offer <05927> them up [for] a burnt <05930> offering unto the LORD <03068>.

25 Seven <07651> days <03117> shalt thou prepare <06213> every day <03117> a goat <08163> [for] a sin < 02403> offering: they shall also prepare <03559> a young bullock <06499>, and a ram <0352> out of the flock <06629>, without <08549> blemish <08549>.

26 Seven <07651> days <03117> shall they purge < 03722> the altar <04196> and purify <02891> it; and they shall consecrate themselves <03027>.

27 And when these days <03117> are expired <03615>, it shall be, [that] upon the eighth <08066> day <03117>, and [so] forward <01973>, the priests <03548> shall make < 06213> your burnt <05930> offerings upon the altar <04196>, and your peace <08002> offerings; and I will accept <07521> you, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 44

1. Then he brought <07725> me back <07725> the way <01870> of the gate <08179> of the outward <02435> sanctuary <04720> which looketh <06437> toward the east < 06921>; and it [was] shut <05462>.

2 Then said <0559> the LORD <03068> unto me; This <02088> gate <08179> shall be shut <05462>, it shall not be opened <06605>, and no <03808> man <0376> shall enter <0935> in by it; because <03588> the LORD <03068>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>, hath entered <0935> in by it, therefore it shall be shut <05462>.

3 [It is] for the prince <05387>; the prince <05387> , he shall sit <03427> in it to eat <0398> bread <03899> before <06440> the LORD <03068>; he shall enter <0935> by the way <01870> of the porch <0197> of [that] gate < 08179>, and shall go <03318> out by the way <01870> of the same.

4. Then brought <0935> he me the way <01870> of the north <06828> gate <08179> before the house <01004>: and I looked <07200>, and, behold <02009>, the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> filled <04390> the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>: and I fell <05307> upon my face <06440> .

5 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto me, Son < 01121> of man <0120>, mark <07760> well, and behold < 07200> with thine eyes <05869>, and hear <08085> with thine ears <0241> all <03605> that I say <01696> unto thee concerning all <03605> the ordinances <02708> of the house < 01004> of the LORD <03068>, and all <03605> the laws < 08451> thereof; and mark <07760> well the entering <03996> in of the house <01004>, with every <03605> going <04161> forth <04161> of the sanctuary <04720>.

6 And thou shalt say <0559> to the rebellious < 04805>, [even] to the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; O ye house <01004> of Israel <03478>, let it suffice < 07227> you of all <03605> your abominations <08441>,

7 In that ye have brought <0935> [into my sanctuary] strangers, uncircumcised <06189> in heart <03820>, and uncircumcised <06189> in flesh <01320>, to be in my sanctuary <04720>, to pollute <02490> it, [even <0853>] my house <01004>, when ye offer <07126> my bread <03899>, the fat <02459> and the blood <01818>, and they have broken < 06565> my covenant <01285> because <0413> of all < 03605> your abominations <08441>.

8 And ye have not kept <08104> the charge <04931> of mine holy <06944> things: but ye have set <07760> keepers <08104> of my charge <04931> in my sanctuary <04720> for yourselves.

9 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; No <03808> stranger, uncircumcised <06189> in heart <03820>, nor uncircumcised <06189> in flesh < 01320>, shall enter <0935> into <0413> my sanctuary < 04720>, of any <03605> stranger that [is] among <08432> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.

10. And the Levites <03881> that are gone away far < 07350> from me, when Israel <03478> went <08582> astray < 08582>, which <0834> went <08582> astray <08582> away from me after <0310> their idols <01544>; they shall even bear <05375> their iniquity <05771>.

11 Yet they shall be ministers <08334> in my sanctuary <04720>, [having] charge <06486> at <0413> the gates < 08179> of the house <01004>, and ministering <08334> to the house <01004>: they shall slay <07819> the burnt <05930> offering and the sacrifice <02077> for the people <05971>, and they shall stand <05975> before <06440> them to minister < 08334> unto them.

12 Because they ministered <08334> unto them before < 06440> their idols <01544>, and caused the house <01004> of Israel <03478> to fall <04383> into iniquity <05771>; therefore have I lifted <05375> up mine hand <03027> against <05921> them, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD < 03069>, and they shall bear <05375> their iniquity <05771>.

13 And they shall not come <05066> near <05066> unto me, to do the office of a priest <03547> unto me, nor to come <05066> near <05066> to any <03605> of my holy < 06944> things, in the most <06944> holy <06944> [place]: but they shall bear <05375> their shame <03639>, and their abominations <08441> which <0834> they have committed < 06213>.

14 But I will make them keepers <08104> of the charge < 04931> of the house <01004>, for all <03605> the service <05656> thereof, and for all <03605> that shall be done < 06213> therein.

15 But the priests <03548> the Levites <03881>, the sons <01121> of Zadok <06659>, that kept <08104> the charge <04931> of my sanctuary <04720> when the children < 01121> of Israel <03478> went <08582> astray <08582> from me, they shall come <07126> near <07126> to me to minister <08334> unto me, and they shall stand <05975> before <06440> me to offer <07126> unto me the fat <02459> and the blood <01818>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD < 03069>:

16 They shall enter <0935> into <0413> my sanctuary <04720>, and they shall come <07126> near <07126> to my table <07979>, to minister <08334> unto me, and they shall keep <08104> my charge <04931>.

17. And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] when they enter <0935> in at <0413> the gates <08179> of the inner <06442> court <02691>, they shall be clothed <03847> with linen <06593> garments <0899>; and no <03808> wool <06785> shall come <05927> upon them, whiles they minister < 08334> in the gates <08179> of the inner <06442> court < 02691>, and within <01004>.

18 They shall have <01961> linen <06593> bonnets <06287> upon their heads <07218>, and shall have <01961> linen <06593> breeches <04370> upon their loins <04975>; they shall not gird <02296> [themselves] with any thing that causeth sweat <03154>.

19 And when they go <03318> forth <03318> into < 0413> the utter <02435> court <02691>, [even] into < 0413> the utter <02435> court <02691> to the people < 05971>, they shall put <06584> off their garments <0899> wherein <0834> they ministered <08334>, and lay <03241> them in the holy <06944> chambers <03957>, and they shall put <03847> on other <0312> garments <0899>; and they shall not sanctify <06942> the people <05971> with their garments <0899>.

20 Neither <03808> shall they shave <01548> their heads <07218>, nor <03808> suffer their locks <06545> to grow <07971> long; they shall only <03697> poll <03697> their heads <07218>.

21 Neither <03808> shall any <03605> priest < 03548> drink <08354> wine <03196>, when they enter < 0935> into <0413> the inner <06442> court <02691>.

22 Neither <03808> shall they take <03947> for their wives <0802> a widow <0490>, nor her that is put < 01644> away: but they shall take <03947> maidens <01330> of the seed <02233> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, or a widow <0490> that had <01961> a priest <03548> before.

23 And they shall teach <03384> my people <05971> [the difference] between <0996> the holy <06944> and profane <02455>, and cause them to discern <03045> between <0996> the unclean <02931> and the clean <02889>.

24 And in controversy <07379> they shall stand < 05975> in judgment <08199>; [and] they shall judge <08199> it according to my judgments <04941>: and they shall keep < 08104> my laws <08451> and my statutes <02708> in all < 03605> mine assemblies <04150>; and they shall hallow < 06942> my sabbaths <07676>.

25 And they shall come <0935> at <0413> no < 03808> dead <04191> person <0120> to defile <02930> themselves: but for father <01>, or for mother <0517>, or for son <01121>, or for daughter <01323>, for brother <0251>, or for sister <0269> that hath had <01961> no <03808> husband <0376>, they may defile <02930> themselves.

26 And after <0310> he is cleansed <02893>, they shall reckon <05608> unto him seven <07651> days <03117>.

27 And in the day <03117> that he goeth <0935> into <0413> the sanctuary <06944>, unto the inner <06442> court <02691>, to minister <08334> in the sanctuary < 06944>, he shall offer <07126> his sin <02403> offering, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

28 And it shall be unto them for an inheritance <05159>: I [am] their inheritance <05159>: and ye shall give <05414> them no <03808> possession <0272> in Israel <03478>: I [am] their possession <0272>.

29 They shall eat <0398> the meat offering <04503>, and the sin <02403> offering, and the trespass <0817> offering; and every <03605> dedicated <02764> thing in Israel < 03478> shall be theirs <01992>.

30 And the first <07225> of all <03605> the firstfruits <01061> of all <03605> [things], and every < 03605> oblation <08641> of all <03605>, of every < 03605> [sort] of your oblations <08641>, shall be the priest's <03548>: ye shall also give <05414> unto the priest < 03548> the first <07225> of your dough <06182>, that he may cause the blessing <01293> to rest <05117> in thine house < 01004>.

31 The priests <03548> shall not eat <0398> of any <03605> thing that is dead <05038> of itself, or torn < 02966>, whether <04480> it be fowl <05775> or beast < 0929>.

Ezekiel 45

1. Moreover, when ye shall divide <05307> by lot the land <0776> for inheritance <05159>, ye shall offer <07311> an oblation <08641> unto the LORD <03068>, an holy < 06944> portion of the land <0776>: the length <0753> [shall be] the length <0753> of five <02568> and twenty <06242> thousand <0505> [reeds], and the breadth <07341> [shall be] ten <06235> thousand <0505>. This <01931> [shall be] holy <06944> in all <03605> the borders <01366> thereof round <05439> about.

2 Of this <02088> there shall be for the sanctuary < 06944> five <02568> hundred <03967> [in length], with five <02568> hundred <03967> [in breadth <07341>], square < 07251> round <05439> about; and fifty <02572> cubits < 0520> round <05439> about for the suburbs <04054> thereof.

3 And of this <02063> measure <04060> shalt thou measure <04058> the length <0753> of five <02568> and twenty <06242> thousand <0505>, and the breadth <07341> of ten <06235> thousand <0505>: and in it shall be the sanctuary <04720> [and] the most <06944> holy <06944> [place].

4 The holy <06944> [portion] of the land <0776> shall be for the priests <03548> the ministers <08334> of the sanctuary <04720>, which shall come <07131> near <07131> to minister <08334> unto the LORD <03068>: and it shall be a place <04725> for their houses <01004>, and an holy < 04720> place for the sanctuary <04720>.

5 And the five <02568> and twenty <06242> thousand <0505> of length <0753>, and the ten <06235> thousand <0505> of breadth <07341>, shall also the Levites <03881> , the ministers <08334> of the house <01004>, have < 01961> for themselves <01992>, for a possession <0272> for twenty <06242> chambers <03957>.

6 And ye shall appoint <05414> the possession <0272> of the city <05892> five <02568> thousand <0505> broad <07341>, and five <02568> and twenty <06242> thousand <0505> long <0753>, over <05980> against <05980> the oblation <08641> of the holy <06944> [portion]: it shall be for the whole <03605> house <01004> of Israel <03478>.

7 And a [portion shall be] for the prince <05387> on the one side and on the other <02088> side of the oblation <08641> of the holy <06944> [portion], and of the possession <0272> of the city <05892>, before the oblation <08641> of the holy < 06944> [portion], and before the possession <0272> of the city <05892>, from the west <03220> side <06285> westward < 03220>, and from the east <06924> side <06285> eastward < 06921>: and the length <0753> [shall be] over <05980> against <05980> one <0259> of the portions <02506>, from the west <03220> border <01366> unto the east <06921> border <01366>.

8 In the land <0776> shall be his possession <0272> in Israel <03478>: and my princes <05387> shall no < 03808> more <05750> oppress <03238> my people <05971>; and [the rest of] the land <0776> shall they give <05414> to the house <01004> of Israel <03478> according to their tribes <07626>.

9. Thus <03541> saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Let it suffice <07227> you, O princes < 05387> of Israel <03478>: remove <05493> violence < 02555> and spoil <07701>, and execute <06213> judgment < 04941> and justice <06666>, take <07311> away <07311> your exactions <01646> from my people <05971>, saith < 0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

10 Ye shall have <01961> just <06664> balances < 03976>, and a just <06664> ephah <0374>, and a just < 06664> bath <01324>.

11 The ephah <0374> and the bath <01324> shall be of one <0259> measure <08506>, that the bath <01324> may contain <05375> the tenth <04643> part of an homer < 02563>, and the ephah <0374> the tenth <06224> part of an homer <02563>: the measure <04971> thereof shall be after the homer <02563>.

12 And the shekel <08255> [shall be] twenty <06242> gerahs <01626>: twenty <06242> shekels <08255>, five < 02568> and twenty <06242> shekels <08255>, fifteen < 02568> shekels <08255>, shall be your maneh <04488>.

13. This <02063> [is] the oblation <08641> that ye shall offer <07311>; the sixth <08345> part of an ephah < 0374> of an homer <02563> of wheat <02406>, and ye shall give the sixth <08341> part of an ephah <0374> of an homer < 02563> of barley <08184>:

14 Concerning the ordinance <02706> of oil <08081>, the bath <01324> of oil <08081>, [ye shall offer] the tenth <04643> part of a bath <01324> out of the cor <03734>, [which <04480> is] an homer <02563> of ten <06235> baths <01324>; for ten <06235> baths <01324> [are] an homer <02563>:

15 And one <0259> lamb <07716> out of the flock < 06629>, out of two hundred <03967>, out of the fat <04945> pastures <04945> of Israel <03478>; for a meat offering < 04503>, and for a burnt <05930> offering, and for peace < 08002> offerings, to make reconciliation <03722> for them, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

16 All <03605> the people <05971> of the land < 0776> shall give this <02063> oblation <08641> for the prince <05387> in Israel <03478>.

17 And it shall be the prince's <05387> part [to give] burnt <05930> offerings, and meat offerings <04503>, and drink <05262> offerings, in the feasts <02282>, and in the new < 02320> moons <02320>, and in the sabbaths <07676>, in all <03605> solemnities <04150> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>: he shall prepare <03559> the sin <02403> offering, and the meat offering <04503>, and the burnt <05930> offering, and the peace <08002> offerings, to make reconciliation <03722> for the house <01004> of Israel <03478>.

18 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; In the first <07223> [month], in the first < 0259> [day] of the month <02320>, thou shalt take <03947> a young bullock <06499> without <08549> blemish <08549>, and cleanse <02398> the sanctuary <04720>:

19 And the priest <03548> shall take <03947> of the blood <01818> of the sin <02403> offering, and put < 05414> [it] upon the posts <04201> of the house <01004>, and upon the four <0702> corners <06438> of the settle < 05835> of the altar <04196>, and upon the posts <04201> of the gate <08179> of the inner <06442> court <02691>.

20 And so <03651> thou shalt do <06213> the seventh <07651> [day] of the month <02320> for every <0376> one <0376> that erreth <07686>, and for [him that is] simple < 06612>: so shall ye reconcile <03722> the house <01004>.

21 In the first <07223> [month], in the fourteenth day <03117> of the month <02320>, ye shall have <01961> the passover <06453>, a feast <02282> of seven <07651> days <03117>; unleavened <04682> bread shall be eaten <0398>.

22 And upon that day <03117> shall the prince < 05387> prepare <03559> for himself and for all <03605> the people <05971> of the land <0776> a bullock <06499> [for] a sin <02403> offering.

23 And seven <07651> days <03117> of the feast < 02282> he shall prepare <03559> a burnt <05930> offering to the LORD <03068>, seven <07651> bullocks <06499> and seven <07651> rams <0352> without <08549> blemish < 08549> daily <03117> the seven <07651> days <03117>; and a kid <08163> of the goats <05795> daily <03117> [for] a sin <02403> offering.

24 And he shall prepare <03559> a meat offering < 04503> of an ephah <0374> for a bullock <06499>, and an ephah <0374> for a ram <0352>, and an hin <01969> of oil <08081> for an ephah <0374>.

25 In the seventh <07651> [month], in the fifteenth < 06240> day <03117> of the month <02320>, shall he do < 06213> the like in the feast <02282> of the seven <07651> days <03117>, according to the sin <02403> offering, according to the burnt <05930> offering, and according to the meat offering <04503>, and according to the oil <08081>.

Ezekiel 46

1. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; The gate <08179> of the inner <06442> court <02691> that looketh <06437> toward the east <06921> shall be shut <05462> the six <08337> working <04639> days <03117>; but on the sabbath <07676> it shall be opened <06605>, and in the day <03117> of the new <02320> moon <02320> it shall be opened <06605>.

2 And the prince <05387> shall enter <0935> by the way <01870> of the porch <0197> of [that] gate <08179> without <02351>, and shall stand <05975> by the post < 04201> of the gate <08179>, and the priests <03548> shall prepare <03559> his burnt <05930> offering and his peace < 08002> offerings, and he shall worship <07812> at <05921> the threshold <04670> of the gate <08179>: then he shall go <03318> forth <03318>; but the gate <08179> shall not be shut <05462> until <05704> the evening <06153>.

3 Likewise the people <05971> of the land <0776> shall worship <07812> at the door <06607> of this <01931> gate <08179> before <06440> the LORD <03068> in the sabbaths <07676> and in the new <02320> moons <02320>.

4 And the burnt <05930> offering that the prince < 05387> shall offer <07126> unto the LORD <03068> in the sabbath <07676> day <03117> [shall be] six <08337> lambs <03532> without <08549> blemish <08549>, and a ram < 0352> without <08549> blemish <08549>.

5 And the meat offering <04503> [shall be] an ephah < 0374> for a ram <0352>, and the meat offering <04503> for the lambs <03532> as he shall be able to give <04991>, and an hin <01969> of oil <08081> to an ephah <0374>.

6 And in the day <03117> of the new <02320> moon <02320> [it shall be] a young bullock <06499> without < 08549> blemish <08549>, and six <08337> lambs <03532>, and a ram <0352>: they shall be without <08549> blemish < 08549>.

7 And he shall prepare <03559> a meat offering < 04503>, an ephah <0374> for a bullock <06499>, and an ephah <0374> for a ram <0352>, and for the lambs <03532> according as his hand <03027> shall attain <05381> unto, and an hin <01969> of oil <08081> to an ephah <0374>.

8 And when the prince <05387> shall enter <0935>, he shall go <0935> in by the way <01870> of the porch < 0197> of [that] gate <08179>, and he shall go <03318> forth <03318> by the way <01870> thereof.

9 But when the people <05971> of the land <0776> shall come <0935> before <06440> the LORD <03068> in the solemn <04150> feasts <04150>, he that entereth <0935> in by the way <01870> of the north <06828> gate <08179> to worship <07812> shall go <03318> out by the way < 01870> of the south <05045> gate <08179>; and he that entereth <0935> by the way <01870> of the south <05045> gate <08179> shall go <03318> forth <03318> by the way <01870> of the north <06828> gate <08179>: he shall not return <07725> by the way <01870> of the gate <08179> whereby <0834> he came <0935> in, but shall go <03318> forth <03318> over <05226> against <05227> it.

10 And the prince <05387> in the midst <08432> of them, when they go <0935> in, shall go <03318> in; and when they go <03318> forth <03318>, shall go <03318> forth <03318>.

11 And in the feasts <02282> and in the solemnities < 04150> the meat offering <04503> shall be an ephah <0374> to a bullock <06499>, and an ephah <0374> to a ram <0352> , and to the lambs <03532> as he is able to give <04991>, and an hin <01969> of oil <08081> to an ephah <0374>.

12 Now <03588> when <03588> the prince <05387> shall prepare <03559> a voluntary <05071> burnt <05930> offering or peace <08002> offerings voluntarily <05071> unto the LORD <03068>, [one] shall then open <06605> him the gate <08179> that looketh <06437> toward the east <06921>, and he shall prepare <03559> his burnt <05930> offering and his peace <08002> offerings, as he did <06213> on the sabbath <07676> day <03117>: then he shall go <03318> forth < 03318>; and after <0310> his going <03318> forth < 03318> [one] shall shut <05462> the gate <08179>.

13 Thou shalt daily <03117> prepare <03559> a burnt <05930> offering unto the LORD <03068> [of] a lamb < 03532> of the first <01121> year <08141> without < 08549> blemish <08549>: thou shalt prepare <03559> it every morning <01242>.

14 And thou shalt prepare <03559> a meat offering < 04503> for it every morning <01242>, the sixth <08345> part of an ephah <0374>, and the third <07992> part of an hin < 01969> of oil <08081>, to temper <07450> with the fine flour <05560>; a meat offering <04503> continually < 08548> by a perpetual <05769> ordinance <02708> unto the LORD <03068>.

15 Thus shall they prepare <03559> the lamb <03532>, and the meat offering <04503>, and the oil <08081>, every morning <01242> [for] a continual <08548> burnt <05930> offering.

16. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; If <03588> the prince <05387> give < 05414> a gift <04979> unto any <0376> of his sons < 01121>, the inheritance <05159> thereof shall be his sons < 01121>'; it [shall be] their possession <0272> by inheritance < 05159>.

17 But if <03588> he give <05414> a gift < 04979> of his inheritance <05159> to one <0259> of his servants <05650>, then it shall be his to the year <08141> of liberty <01865>; after it shall return <07725> to the prince <05387>: but his inheritance <05159> shall be his sons < 01121>' for them.

18 Moreover the prince <05387> shall not take < 03947> of the people's <05971> inheritance <05159> by oppression <03238>, to thrust <03238> them out of their possession <0272>; [but] he shall give his sons <01121> inheritance <05157> out of his own possession <0272>: that my people <05971> be not scattered every man <0376> from his possession <0272>.

19. After he brought <0935> me through the entry < 03996>, which <0834> [was] at <05921> the side of the gate <08179>, into <0413> the holy <06944> chambers < 03957> of the priests <03548>, which looked <06437> toward the north <06828>: and, behold <02009>, there <08033> [was] a place <04725> on the two sides <03411> westward < 03220>.

20 Then said <0559> he unto me, This <02088> [is] the place <04725> where the priests <03548> shall boil < 01310> the trespass <0817> offering and the sin <02403> offering, where <0834> they shall bake <0644> the meat offering <04503>; that they bear <03318> [them] not out into <0413> the utter <02435> court <02691>, to sanctify < 06942> the people <05971>.

21 Then he brought <03318> me forth <03318> into <0413> the utter <02435> court <02691>, and caused me to pass <05674> by the four <0702> corners <04742> of the court <02691>; and, behold <02009>, in every corner < 04742> of the court <02691> [there was] a court <02691>.

22 In the four <0702> corners <04742> of the court <02691> [there were] courts <02691> joined <07000> of forty <0705> [cubits] long <0753> and thirty <07970> broad <07341>: these four <0702> corners <07106> [were] of one <0259> measure <04060>.

23 And [there was] a row <02905> [of building] round < 05439> about in them, round <05439> about them four <0702>, and [it was] made <06213> with boiling <04018> places under <08478> the rows <02918> round <05439> about.

24 Then said <0559> he unto me, These <0428> [are] the places <01004> of them that boil <01310>, where the ministers <08334> of the house <01004> shall boil <01310> the sacrifice <02077> of the people <05971>.

Ezekiel 47

1. Afterward he brought <07725> me again <07725> unto the door <06607> of the house <01004>; and, behold < 02009>, waters <04325> issued <03318> out from under < 08478> the threshold <04670> of the house <01004> eastward <06921>: for the forefront <06440> of the house <01004> [stood toward] the east <06921>, and the waters <04325> came <03381> down <03381> from under <08478> from the right <03233> side of the house <01004>, at the south <05045> [side] of the altar <04196>.

2 Then brought <03318> he me out of the way <01870> of the gate <08179> northward <06828>, and led <05437> me about <05437> the way <01870> without <02351> unto the utter <02531> gate <08179> by the way <01870> that looketh <06437> eastward <06921>; and, behold <02009>, there ran <06379> out waters <04325> on the right <03233> side <03802>.

3 And when the man <0376> that had the line <06957> in his hand <03027> went <03318> forth <03318> eastward <06921>, he measured <04058> a thousand <0505> cubits <0520>, and he brought <05674> me through <05674> the waters <04325>; the waters <04325> [were] to the ankles < 0657>.

4 Again he measured <04058> a thousand <0505>, and brought <05674> me through <05674> the waters <04325>; the waters <04325> [were] to the knees <01290>. Again he measured <04058> a thousand <0505>, and brought <05674> me through <05674>; the waters <04325> [were] to the loins < 04975>.

5 Afterward he measured <04058> a thousand <0505>; [and it was] a river <05158> that I could <03201> not pass < 05674> over <05674>: for the waters <04325> were risen < 01342>, waters <04325> to swim <07813> in, a river < 05158> that could not be passed <05674> over <05674>.

6 And he said <0559> unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>, hast thou seen <07200> [this]? Then he brought < 03212> me, and caused me to return <07725> to the brink < 08193> of the river <05158>.

7 Now when I had returned <07725>, behold <02009>, at <0413> the bank <08193> of the river <05158> [were] very <03966> many <07227> trees <06086> on the one side and on the other <02088>.

8 Then said <0559> he unto me, These <0428> waters <04325> issue <03318> out toward the east <06930> country <01552>, and go <03381> down <03381> into < 05921> the desert <06160>, and go <0935> into the sea < 03220>: [which being <01961>] brought <03318> forth < 03318> into the sea <03220>, the waters <04325> shall be healed <07495>.

9 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] every < 03605> thing <05315> that liveth <02416>, which <0834> moveth <08317>, whithersoever the rivers <05158> shall come <0935>, shall live <02421>: and there shall be a very < 03966> great <07227> multitude of fish <01710>, because < 03588> these <0428> waters <04325> shall come <0935> thither: for they shall be healed <07495>; and every <03605> thing shall live <02425> whither the river <05158> cometh < 0935>.

10 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] the fishers <01728> shall stand <05975> upon it from Engedi <05872> even unto Eneglaim <05882>; they shall be a [place] to spread < 04894> forth nets <02764>; their fish <01710> shall be according to their kinds <04327>, as the fish <01710> of the great <01419> sea <03220>, exceeding <03966> many < 07227>.

11 But the miry <01207> places thereof and the marishes <01360> thereof shall not be healed <07495>; they shall be given <05414> to salt <04417>.

12 And by the river <05158> upon the bank <08193> thereof, on this <02088> side and on that side, shall grow < 05927> all <03605> trees <06086> for meat <03978>, whose leaf <05929> shall not fade <05034>, neither < 03808> shall the fruit <06529> thereof be consumed <08552>: it shall bring <01069> forth new <01069> fruit <01061> according to his months <02320>, because <03588> their waters <04325> they issued <03318> out of the sanctuary <04720>: and the fruit <06529> thereof shall be for meat <03978>, and the leaf <05929> thereof for medicine <08644>.

13. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; This <02088> [shall be] the border <01366>, whereby <0834> ye shall inherit <05157> the land <0776> according to the twelve tribes <07626> of Israel <03478>: Joseph <03130> [shall have two] portions <02256>.

14 And ye shall inherit <03423> it, one <0376> as well as another <0250>: [concerning] the which <0834> I lifted <05375> up mine hand <03027> to give <05414> it unto your fathers <01>: and this <02063> land <0776> shall fall <05307> unto you for inheritance <05159>.

15 And this <02088> [shall be] the border <01366> of the land <0776> toward the north <06828> side <06285>, from the great <01419> sea <03220>, the way <01870> of Hethlon <02855>, as men go <0935> to Zedad <06657>;

16 Hamath <02574>, Berothah <01268>, Sibraim < 05453>, which <0834> [is] between <0996> the border < 01366> of Damascus <01834> and the border <01366> of Hamath <02574>; Hazarhatticon <02694>, which <0834> [is] by the coast <01366> of Hauran <02362>.

17 And the border <01366> from the sea <03220> shall be Hazarenan <02703>, the border <01366> of Damascus < 01834>, and the north <06828> northward <06828>, and the border <01366> of Hamath <02574>. And [this is] the north < 06828> side <06285>.

18 And the east <06921> side <06285> ye shall measure <04058> from Hauran <02362>, and from Damascus < 01834>, and from Gilead <01568>, and from the land <0776> of Israel <03478> [by] Jordan <03383>, from the border < 01366> unto the east <06931> sea <03220>. And [this is] the east <06921> side <06285>.

19 And the south <05045> side <06285> southward < 05045>, from Tamar <08559> [even] to the waters <04325> of strife <04808> [in] Kadesh <06946>, the river <05158> to the great <01419> sea <03220>. And [this is] the south < 08486> side <06285> southward <05045>.

20 The west <03220> side <06285> also [shall be] the great <01419> sea <03220> from the border <01366>, till <05704> a man come <0935> over <05227> against Hamath <02574>. This <02063> [is] the west <03220> side <06285>.

21 So shall ye divide <02505> this <02063> land < 0776> unto you according to the tribes <07626> of Israel < 03478>.

22 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] ye shall divide <05307> it by lot for an inheritance <05159> unto you, and to the strangers <01616> that sojourn <01481> among < 08432> you, which <0834> shall beget <03205> children < 01121> among <08432> you: and they shall be unto you as born < 0249> in the country <0249> among the children <01121> of Israel <03478>; they shall have <05307> inheritance < 05159> with you among <08432> the tribes <07626> of Israel <03478>.

23 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] in what < 0834> tribe <07626> the stranger <01616> sojourneth < 01481>, there <08033> shall ye give <05414> [him] his inheritance <05159>, saith <05002> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.

Ezekiel 48

1. Now these <0428> [are] the names <08034> of the tribes <07626>. From the north <06828> end <07097> to the coast <03027> of the way <01870> of Hethlon <02855>, as one goeth <0935> to Hamath <02574>, Hazarenan <02704>, the border <01366> of Damascus <01834> northward <06828> , to the coast <03027> of Hamath <02574>; for these are his sides <06285> east <06921> [and] west <03220>; a [portion for] Dan <01835>.

2 And by the border <01366> of Dan <01835>, from the east <06921> side <06285> unto the west <03220> side <06285>, a [portion for] Asher <0836>.

3 And by the border <01366> of Asher <0836>, from the east <06921> side <06285> even unto the west <03220> side <06285>, a [portion for] Naphtali <05321>.

4 And by the border <01366> of Naphtali <05321>, from the east <06921> side <06285> unto the west <03220> side <06285>, a [portion for] Manasseh <04519>.

5 And by the border <01366> of Manasseh <04519>, from the east <06921> side <06285> unto the west <03220> side <06285>, a [portion for] Ephraim <0669>.

6 And by the border <01366> of Ephraim <0669>, from the east <06921> side <06285> even unto the west <03220> side <06285>, a [portion for] Reuben <07205>.

7 And by the border <01366> of Reuben <07205>, from the east <06921> side <06285> unto the west <03220> side <06285>, a [portion for] Judah <03063>.

8 And by the border <01366> of Judah <03063>, from the east <06921> side <06285> unto the west <03220> side <06285>, shall be the offering <08641> which <0834> ye shall offer <07311> of five <02568> and twenty <06242> thousand <0505> [reeds in] breadth <07341>, and [in] length <0753> as one <0259> of the [other] parts <02506>, from the east <06921> side <06285> unto the west <03220> side <06285>: and the sanctuary <04720> shall be in the midst < 08432> of it.

9 The oblation <08641> that ye shall offer <07311> unto the LORD <03068> [shall be] of five <02568> and twenty <06242> thousand <0505> in length <0753>, and of ten < 06235> thousand <0505> in breadth <07341>.

10 And for them, [even] for the priests <03548>, shall be [this] holy <06944> oblation <08641>; toward the north < 06828> five <02568> and twenty <06242> thousand <0505> [in length <0753>], and toward the west <03220> ten < 06235> thousand <0505> in breadth <07341>, and toward the east <06921> ten <06235> thousand <0505> in breadth < 07341>, and toward the south <05045> five <02568> and twenty <06242> thousand <0505> in length <0753>: and the sanctuary <04720> of the LORD <03068> shall be in the midst <08432> thereof.

11 [It shall be] for the priests <03548> that are sanctified <06942> of the sons <01121> of Zadok <06659>; which <0834> have kept <08104> my charge <04931>, which <0834> went <08582> not astray <08582> when the children <01121> of Israel <03478> went <08582> astray < 08582>, as the Levites <03881> went <08582> astray < 08582>.

12 And [this] oblation <08642> of the land <0776> that is offered <08641> shall be unto them a thing most <06944> holy <06944> by the border <01366> of the Levites < 03881>.

13 And over <05980> against <05980> the border < 01366> of the priests <03548> the Levites <03881> [shall have] five <02568> and twenty <06242> thousand <0505> in length <0753>, and ten <06235> thousand <0505> in breadth <07341>: all <03605> the length <0753> [shall be] five <02568> and twenty <06242> thousand <0505>, and the breadth <07341> ten <06235> thousand <0505>.

14 And they shall not sell <04376> of it, neither < 03808> exchange <04171>, nor <03808> alienate <05674> the firstfruits <07225> of the land <0776>: for [it is] holy <06944> unto the LORD <03068>.

15 And the five <02568> thousand <0505>, that are left <03498> in the breadth <07341> over against the five < 02568> and twenty <06242> thousand <0505>, shall be a profane <02455> [place] for the city <05892>, for dwelling < 04186>, and for suburbs <04054>: and the city <05892> shall be in the midst <08432> thereof.

16 And these <0428> [shall be] the measures <04060> thereof; the north <06828> side <06285> four <0702> thousand <0505> and five <02568> hundred <03967>, and the south <05045> side <06285> four <0702> thousand < 0505> and five <02568> hundred <03967>, and on the east < 06921> side <06285> four <0702> thousand <0505> and five <02568> hundred <03967>, and the west <03220> side <06285> four <0702> thousand <0505> and five < 02568> hundred <03967>.

17 And the suburbs <04054> of the city <05892> shall be toward the north <06828> two hundred <03967> and fifty <02572>, and toward the south <05045> two hundred < 03967> and fifty <02572>, and toward the east <06921> two hundred <03967> and fifty <02572>, and toward the west < 03220> two hundred <03967> and fifty <02572>.

18 And the residue <03498> in length <0753> over <05980> against <05980> the oblation <08641> of the holy <06944> [portion shall be] ten <06235> thousand <0505> eastward <06921>, and ten <06235> thousand <0505> westward <03220>: and it shall be over <05980> against < 05980> the oblation <08641> of the holy <06944> [portion]; and the increase <08393> thereof shall be for food <03899> unto them that serve <05647> the city <05892>.

19 And they that serve <05647> the city <05892> shall serve <05647> it out of all <03605> the tribes < 07626> of Israel <03478>.
