EZE-1:1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], in
the fifth [day] of the month, as I [was] among the captives by the river of
Chebar, [that] the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
EZE-1:2 In the fifth [day] of the month, which [was] the fifth year of king
Jehoiachin's captivity,
EZE-1:3 The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son
of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the
LORD was there upon him.
EZE-1:4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great
cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness [was] about it, and out
of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
EZE-1:5 Also out of the midst thereof [came] the likeness of four living
creatures. And this [was] their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
EZE-1:6 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
EZE-1:7 And their feet [were] straight feet; and the sole of their feet [was]
like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished
brass.
EZE-1:8 And [they had] the hands of a man under their wings on their four
sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
EZE-1:9 Their wings [were] joined one to another; they turned not when they
went; they went every one straight forward.
EZE-1:10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man,
and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox
on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
EZE-1:11 Thus [were] their faces: and their wings [were] stretched upward;
two [wings] of every one [were] joined one to another, and two covered their
bodies.
EZE-1:12 And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to
go, they went; [and] they turned not when they went.
EZE-1:13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance [was]
like burning coals of fire, [and] like the appearance of lamps: it went up and
down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire
went forth lightning.
EZE-1:14 And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a
flash of lightning.
EZE-1:15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the
earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
EZE-1:16 The appearance of the wheels and their work [was] like unto the
colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and
their work [was] as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
EZE-1:17 When they went, they went upon their four sides: [and] they turned
not when they went.
EZE-1:18 As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and
their rings [were] full of eyes round about them four.
EZE-1:19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and
when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were
lifted up.
EZE-1:20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither [was their]
spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit
of the living creature [was] in the wheels.
EZE-1:21 When those went, [these] went; and when those stood, [these] stood;
and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over
against them: for the spirit of the living creature [was] in the wheels.
EZE-1:22 And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living
creature [was] as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over
their heads above.
EZE-1:23 And under the firmament [were] their wings straight, the one toward
the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had
two, which covered on that side, their bodies.
EZE-1:24 And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise
of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the
noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings.
EZE-1:25 And there was a voice from the firmament that [was] over their
heads, when they stood, [and] had let down their wings.
EZE-1:26 And above the firmament that [was] over their heads [was] the
likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the
likeness of the throne [was] the likeness as the appearance of a man above
upon it.
EZE-1:27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round
about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the
appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of
fire, and it had brightness round about.
EZE-1:28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of
rain, so [was] the appearance of the brightness round about. This [was] the
appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw [it], I
fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
EZE-2:1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will
speak unto thee.
EZE-2:2 And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon
my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.
EZE-2:3 And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of
Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their
fathers have transgressed against me, [even] unto this very day.
EZE-2:4 For [they are] impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee
unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-2:5 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for
they [are] a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet
among them.
EZE-2:6 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of
their words, though briers and thorns [be] with thee, and thou dost dwell
among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks,
though they [be] a rebellious house.
EZE-2:7 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or
whether they will forbear: for they [are] most rebellious.
EZE-2:8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou
rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give
thee.
EZE-2:9 And when I looked, behold, an hand [was] sent unto me; and, lo, a
roll of a book [was] therein;
EZE-2:10 And he spread it before me; and it [was] written within and without:
and [there was] written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
EZE-3:1 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this
roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
EZE-3:2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
EZE-3:3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy
bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat [it]; and it was in my
mouth as honey for sweetness.
EZE-3:4 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of
Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
EZE-3:5 For thou [art] not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an
hard language, [but] to the house of Israel;
EZE-3:6 Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose
words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would
have hearkened unto thee.
EZE-3:7 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not
hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel [are] impudent and hardhearted.
EZE-3:8 Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy
forehead strong against their foreheads.
EZE-3:9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them
not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they [be] a rebellious house.
EZE-3:10 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall
speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
EZE-3:11 And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy
people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether
they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
EZE-3:12 Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great
rushing, [saying], Blessed [be] the glory of the LORD from his place.
EZE-3:13 [I heard] also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that
touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a
noise of a great rushing.
EZE-3:14 So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in
bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon
me.
EZE-3:15 Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelt by the
river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among
them seven days.
EZE-3:16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the
LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-3:17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel:
therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
EZE-3:18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest
him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save
his life; the same wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will
I require at thine hand.
EZE-3:19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness,
nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered
thy soul.
EZE-3:20 Again, When a righteous [man] doth turn from his righteousness, and
commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because
thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his
righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I
require at thine hand.
EZE-3:21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous [man], that the righteous
sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also
thou hast delivered thy soul.
EZE-3:22 And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said unto me,
Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.
EZE-3:23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory
of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and
I fell on my face.
EZE-3:24 Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spake
with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house.
EZE-3:25 But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and
shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:
EZE-3:26 And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that
thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they [are] a
rebellious house.
EZE-3:27 But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt
say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he
that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they [are] a rebellious house.
EZE-4:1 Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and
portray upon it the city, [even] Jerusalem:
EZE-4:2 And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a
mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set [battering] rams
against it round about.
EZE-4:3 Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it [for] a wall of
iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be
besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This [shall be] a sign to the
house of Israel.
EZE-4:4 Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house
of Israel upon it: [according] to the number of the days that thou shalt lie
upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.
EZE-4:5 For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to
the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the
iniquity of the house of Israel.
EZE-4:6 And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side,
and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have
appointed thee each day for a year.
EZE-4:7 Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and
thine arm [shall be] uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.
EZE-4:8 And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee
from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.
EZE-4:9 Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles,
and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread
thereof, [according] to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy
side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
EZE-4:10 And thy meat which thou shalt eat [shall be] by weight, twenty
shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.
EZE-4:11 Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin:
from time to time shalt thou drink.
EZE-4:12 And thou shalt eat it [as] barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with
dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.
EZE-4:13 And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their
defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.
EZE-4:14 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted:
for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of
itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my
mouth.
EZE-4:15 Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's
dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.
EZE-4:16 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff
of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and
they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:
EZE-4:17 That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with
another, and consume away for their iniquity.
EZE-5:1 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's
razor, and cause [it] to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take
thee balances to weigh, and divide the [hair].
EZE-5:2 Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when
the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, [and]
smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind;
and I will draw out a sword after them.
EZE-5:3 Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy
skirts.
EZE-5:4 Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire,
and burn them in the fire; [for] thereof shall a fire come forth into all the
house of Israel.
EZE-5:5 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This [is] Jerusalem: I have set it in the
midst of the nations and countries [that are] round about her.
EZE-5:6 And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the
nations, and my statutes more than the countries that [are] round about her:
for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in
them.
EZE-5:7 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than
the nations that [are] round about you, [and] have not walked in my statutes,
neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments
of the nations that [are] round about you;
EZE-5:8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, [am] against
thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the
nations.
EZE-5:9 And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I
will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.
EZE-5:10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and
the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and
the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.
EZE-5:11 Wherefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou
hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine
abominations, therefore will I also diminish [thee]; neither shall mine eye
spare, neither will I have any pity.
EZE-5:12 A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine
shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by
the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the
winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.
EZE-5:13 Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to
rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD
have spoken [it] in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.
EZE-5:14 Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations
that [are] round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
EZE-5:15 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an
astonishment unto the nations that [are] round about thee, when I shall
execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the
LORD have spoken [it].
EZE-5:16 When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall
be for [their] destruction, [and] which I will send to destroy you: and I will
increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:
EZE-5:17 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall
bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will
bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken [it].
EZE-6:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-6:2 Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy
against them,
EZE-6:3 And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus
saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to
the valleys; Behold, I, [even] I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will
destroy your high places.
EZE-6:4 And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken:
and I will cast down your slain [men] before your idols.
EZE-6:5 And I will lay the dead carcases of the children of Israel before
their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.
EZE-6:6 In all your dwellingplaces the cities shall be laid waste, and the
high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made
desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images may be cut
down, and your works may be abolished.
EZE-6:7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that
I [am] the LORD.
EZE-6:8 Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have [some] that shall escape
the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.

EZE-6:9 And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations
whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish
heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring
after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves for the evils which they
have committed in all their abominations.
EZE-6:10 And they shall know that I [am] the LORD, [and that] I have not said
in vain that I would do this evil unto them.
EZE-6:11 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy
foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for
they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
EZE-6:12 He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near
shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by
the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them.
EZE-6:13 Then shall ye know that I [am] the LORD, when their slain [men]
shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in
all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every
thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols.
EZE-6:14 So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate,
yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their
habitations: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-7:1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-7:2 Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of
Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
EZE-7:3 Now [is] the end [come] upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon
thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee
all thine abominations.
EZE-7:4 And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I
will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the
midst of thee: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-7:5 Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.
EZE-7:6 An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is
come.
EZE-7:7 The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the
time is come, the day of trouble [is] near, and not the sounding again of the
mountains.
EZE-7:8 Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine
anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will
recompense thee for all thine abominations.
EZE-7:9 And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will
recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations [that] are in the
midst of thee; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD that smiteth.
EZE-7:10 Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the
rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
EZE-7:11 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them [shall
remain], nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither [shall there
be] wailing for them.
EZE-7:12 The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice,
nor the seller mourn: for wrath [is] upon all the multitude thereof.
EZE-7:13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they
were yet alive: for the vision [is] touching the whole multitude thereof,
[which] shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity
of his life.
EZE-7:14 They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth
to the battle: for my wrath [is] upon all the multitude thereof.
EZE-7:15 The sword [is] without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he
that [is] in the field shall die with the sword; and he that [is] in the city,
famine and pestilence shall devour him.
EZE-7:16 But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the
mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his
iniquity.
EZE-7:17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak [as] water.
EZE-7:18 They shall also gird [themselves] with sackcloth, and horror shall
cover them; and shame [shall be] upon all faces, and baldness upon all their
heads.
EZE-7:19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be
removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the
day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill
their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
EZE-7:20 As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they
made the images of their abominations [and] of their detestable things
therein: therefore have I set it far from them.
EZE-7:21 And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and
to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.
EZE-7:22 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret
[place]: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
EZE-7:23 Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is
full of violence.
EZE-7:24 Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall
possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and
their holy places shall be defiled.
EZE-7:25 Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and [there shall be]
none.
EZE-7:26 Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour;
then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from
the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
EZE-7:27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with
desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will
do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge
them; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-8:1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth [month], in the
fifth [day] of the month, [as] I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah
sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me.
EZE-8:2 Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the
appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward,
as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.
EZE-8:3 And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine
head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and
brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate
that looketh toward the north; where [was] the seat of the image of jealousy,
which provoketh to jealousy.
EZE-8:4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel [was] there, according to
the vision that I saw in the plain.
EZE-8:5 Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way
toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and
behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.

EZE-8:6 He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do?
[even] the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I
should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, [and] thou shalt
see greater abominations.
EZE-8:7 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold
a hole in the wall.
EZE-8:8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had
digged in the wall, behold a door.
EZE-8:9 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that
they do here.
EZE-8:10 So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and
abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon
the wall round about.
EZE-8:11 And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house
of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with
every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.
EZE-8:12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients
of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his
imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the
earth.
EZE-8:13 He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see
greater abominations that they do.
EZE-8:14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which
[was] toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
EZE-8:15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen [this], O son of man? turn thee
yet again, [and] thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
EZE-8:16 And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and,
behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the
altar, [were] about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of
the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward
the east.
EZE-8:17 Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen [this], O son of man? Is it a
light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they
commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to
provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
EZE-8:18 Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare,
neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice,
[yet] will I not hear them.
EZE-9:1 He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that
have charge over the city to draw near, even every man [with] his destroying
weapon in his hand.
EZE-9:2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which
lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one
man among them [was] clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side:
and they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.
EZE-9:3 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub,
whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man
clothed with linen, which [had] the writer's inkhorn by his side;
EZE-9:4 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through
the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh
and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
EZE-9:5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through
the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
EZE-9:6 Slay utterly old [and] young, both maids, and little children, and
women: but come not near any man upon whom [is] the mark; and begin at my
sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which [were] before the house.
EZE-9:7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the
slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
EZE-9:8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left,
that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy
all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
EZE-9:9 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah
[is] exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of
perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD
seeth not.
EZE-9:10 And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have
pity, [but] I will recompense their way upon their head.
EZE-9:11 And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which [had] the inkhorn by
his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
EZE-10:1 Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head
of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the
appearance of the likeness of a throne.
EZE-10:2 And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in
between the wheels, [even] under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of
fire from between the cherubims, and scatter [them] over the city. And he went
in in my sight.
EZE-10:3 Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man
went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
EZE-10:4 Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, [and stood] over
the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the
court was full of the brightness of the LORD'S glory.
EZE-10:5 And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard [even] to the outer
court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.
EZE-10:6 And it came to pass, [that] when he had commanded the man clothed
with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the
cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
EZE-10:7 And [one] cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims
unto the fire that [was] between the cherubims, and took [thereof], and put
[it] into the hands of [him that was] clothed with linen: who took [it], and
went out.
EZE-10:8 And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under
their wings.
EZE-10:9 And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one
wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance
of the wheels [was] as the colour of a beryl stone.
EZE-10:10 And [as for] their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a
wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.
EZE-10:11 When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as
they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they
turned not as they went.
EZE-10:12 And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their
wings, and the wheels, [were] full of eyes round about, [even] the wheels that
they four had.
EZE-10:13 As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.
EZE-10:14 And every one had four faces: the first face [was] the face of a
cherub, and the second face [was] the face of a man, and the third the face of
a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
EZE-10:15 And the cherubims were lifted up. This [is] the living creature
that I saw by the river of Chebar.
EZE-10:16 And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the
cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels
also turned not from beside them.
EZE-10:17 When they stood, [these] stood; and when they were lifted up,
[these] lifted up themselves [also]: for the spirit of the living creature
[was] in them.
EZE-10:18 Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the
house, and stood over the cherubims.
EZE-10:19 And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the
earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also [were] beside them, and
[every one] stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD'S house; and the
glory of the God of Israel [was] over them above.
EZE-10:20 This [is] the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by
the river of Chebar; and I knew that they [were] the cherubims.
EZE-10:21 Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the
likeness of the hands of a man [was] under their wings.
EZE-10:22 And the likeness of their faces [was] the same faces which I saw by
the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one
straight forward.
EZE-11:1 Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate
of the LORD'S house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the
gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and
Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
EZE-11:2 Then said he unto me, Son of man, these [are] the men that devise
mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:
EZE-11:3 Which say, [It is] not near; let us build houses: this [city is] the
caldron, and we [be] the flesh.
EZE-11:4 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.
EZE-11:5 And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak;
Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the
things that come into your mind, [every one of] them.
EZE-11:6 Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the
streets thereof with the slain.
EZE-11:7 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Your slain whom ye have laid in
the midst of it, they [are] the flesh, and this [city is] the caldron: but I
will bring you forth out of the midst of it.
EZE-11:8 Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith
the Lord GOD.
EZE-11:9 And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into
the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
EZE-11:10 Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of
Israel; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-11:11 This [city] shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the
flesh in the midst thereof; [but] I will judge you in the border of Israel:
EZE-11:12 And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD: for ye have not walked in
my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of
the heathen that [are] round about you.
EZE-11:13 And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of
Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and
said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
EZE-11:14 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-11:15 Son of man, thy brethren, [even] thy brethren, the men of thy
kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, [are] they unto whom the
inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the LORD: unto us is this
land given in possession.
EZE-11:16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them
far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the
countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where
they shall come.
EZE-11:17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from
the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been
scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
EZE-11:18 And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the
detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
EZE-11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within
you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an
heart of flesh:
EZE-11:20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do
them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
EZE-11:21 But [as for them] whose heart walketh after the heart of their
detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon
their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-11:22 Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside
them; and the glory of the God of Israel [was] over them above.
EZE-11:23 And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and
stood upon the mountain which [is] on the east side of the city.
EZE-11:24 Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the
Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had
seen went up from me.
EZE-11:25 Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the
LORD had showed me.
EZE-12:1 The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,
EZE-12:2 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which
have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they
[are] a rebellious house.
EZE-12:3 Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and
remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another
place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they [be] a
rebellious house.
EZE-12:4 Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as
stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they
that go forth into captivity.
EZE-12:5 Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.
EZE-12:6 In their sight shalt thou bear [it] upon [thy] shoulders, [and]
carry [it] forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not
the ground: for I have set thee [for] a sign unto the house of Israel.
EZE-12:7 And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as
stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand;
I brought [it] forth in the twilight, [and] I bare [it] upon [my] shoulder in
their sight.
EZE-12:8 And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,
EZE-12:9 Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said
unto thee, What doest thou?
EZE-12:10 Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; This burden
[concerneth] the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that [are]
among them.
EZE-12:11 Say, I [am] your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done
unto them: they shall remove [and] go into captivity.
EZE-12:12 And the prince that [is] among them shall bear upon [his] shoulder
in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry
out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with [his]
eyes.
EZE-12:13 My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my
snare: and I will bring him to Babylon [to] the land of the Chaldeans; yet
shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
EZE-12:14 And I will scatter toward every wind all that [are] about him to
help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.
EZE-12:15 And they shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall scatter them
among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.
EZE-12:16 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine,
and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among
the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-12:17 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
EZE-12:18 Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with
trembling and with carefulness;
EZE-12:19 And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the
inhabitants of Jerusalem, [and] of the land of Israel; They shall eat their
bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land
may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them
that dwell therein.
EZE-12:20 And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land
shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-12:21 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-12:22 Son of man, what [is] that proverb [that] ye have in the land of
Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
EZE-12:23 Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this
proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but
say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
EZE-12:24 For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering
divination within the house of Israel.
EZE-12:25 For I [am] the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak
shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O
rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord
GOD.
EZE-12:26 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
EZE-12:27 Son of man, behold, [they of] the house of Israel say, The vision
that he seeth [is] for many days [to come], and he prophesieth of the times
[that are] far off.
EZE-12:28 Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none
of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be
done, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-13:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-13:2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy,
and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word
of the LORD;
EZE-13:3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow
their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
EZE-13:4 O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
EZE-13:5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the
house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.
EZE-13:6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith:
and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made [others] to hope that they
would confirm the word.
EZE-13:7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying
divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith [it]; albeit I have not spoken?
EZE-13:8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity,
and seen lies, therefore, behold, I [am] against you, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-13:9 And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that
divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall
they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they
enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.
EZE-13:10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace;
and [there was] no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it
with untempered [mortar]:
EZE-13:11 Say unto them which daub [it] with untempered [mortar], that it
shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones,
shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend [it].
EZE-13:12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where
[is] the daubing wherewith ye have daubed [it]?
EZE-13:13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend [it] with a
stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine
anger, and great hailstones in [my] fury to consume [it].
EZE-13:14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered
[mortar], and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof
shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst
thereof: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-13:15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that
have daubed it with untempered [mortar], and will say unto you, The wall [is]
no [more], neither they that daubed it;
EZE-13:16 [To wit], the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning
Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and [there is] no peace,
saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-13:17 Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of
thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against
them,
EZE-13:18 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the [women] that sew
pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to
hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls
alive [that come] unto you?
EZE-13:19 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and
for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the
souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear [your]
lies?
EZE-13:20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against your
pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make [them] fly, and I will tear
them from your arms, and will let the souls go, [even] the souls that ye hunt
to make [them] fly.
EZE-13:21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your
hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know
that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-13:22 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom
I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should
not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:
EZE-13:23 Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for
I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I [am] the
LORD.
EZE-14:1 Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before
me.
EZE-14:2 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-14:3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and
put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be
inquired of at all by them?
EZE-14:4 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord
GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart,
and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to
the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude
of his idols;
EZE-14:5 That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they
are all estranged from me through their idols.
EZE-14:6 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Repent, and turn [yourselves] from your idols; and turn away your faces from
all your abominations.
EZE-14:7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that
sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his
idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his
face, and cometh to a prophet to inquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will
answer him by myself:
EZE-14:8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign
and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye
shall know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-14:9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the
LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and
will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
EZE-14:10 And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the
punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh
[unto him];
EZE-14:11 That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be
polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my
people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-14:12 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
EZE-14:13 Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing
grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the
staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man
and beast from it:
EZE-14:14 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they
should deliver [but] their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord
GOD.
EZE-14:15 If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil
it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the
beasts:
EZE-14:16 [Though] these three men [were] in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord
GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be
delivered, but the land shall be desolate.
EZE-14:17 Or [if] I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through
the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
EZE-14:18 Though these three men [were] in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord
GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be
delivered themselves.
EZE-14:19 Or [if] I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury
upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
EZE-14:20 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, [were] in it, [as] I live, saith the
Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall [but]
deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
EZE-14:21 For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore
judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast,
and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
EZE-14:22 Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought
forth, [both] sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and
ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning
the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, [even] concerning all that I have
brought upon it.
EZE-14:23 And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their
doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have
done in it, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-15:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-15:2 Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, [or than] a
branch which is among the trees of the forest?
EZE-15:3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will [men] take a pin
of it to hang any vessel thereon?
EZE-15:4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devoureth both
the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet for [any] work?
EZE-15:5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less
shall it be meet yet for [any] work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is
burned?
EZE-15:6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As the vine tree among the trees
of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the
inhabitants of Jerusalem.
EZE-15:7 And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from [one]
fire, and [another] fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I [am] the
LORD, when I set my face against them.
EZE-15:8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a
trespass, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-16:1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-16:2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
EZE-16:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy
nativity [is] of the land of Canaan; thy father [was] an Amorite, and thy
mother an Hittite.
EZE-16:4 And [as for] thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was
not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple [thee]; thou wast not
salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
EZE-16:5 None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have
compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the
loathing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.
EZE-16:6 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood,
I said unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee
[when thou wast] in thy blood, Live.
EZE-16:7 I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou
hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments:
[thy] breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou [wast]
naked and bare.
EZE-16:8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time
[was] the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy
nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee,
saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.
EZE-16:9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I thoroughly washed away thy
blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
EZE-16:10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with
badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee
with silk.
EZE-16:11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy
hands, and a chain on thy neck.
EZE-16:12 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and
a beautiful crown upon thine head.
EZE-16:13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment [was
of] fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and
honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into
a kingdom.
EZE-16:14 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it
[was] perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord
GOD.
EZE-16:15 But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot
because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that
passed by; his it was.
EZE-16:16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places
with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: [the like things]
shall not come, neither shall it be [so].
EZE-16:17 Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver,
which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit
whoredom with them,
EZE-16:18 And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and thou
hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.
EZE-16:19 My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey,
[wherewith] I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for a sweet savour:
and [thus] it was, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-16:20 Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast
borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. [Is
this] of thy whoredoms a small matter,
EZE-16:21 That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them
to pass through [the fire] for them?
EZE-16:22 And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not
remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, [and] wast
polluted in thy blood.
EZE-16:23 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee!
saith the Lord GOD;)
EZE-16:24 [That] thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast
made thee an high place in every street.
EZE-16:25 Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast
made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that
passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.
EZE-16:26 Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy
neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to
anger.
EZE-16:27 Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have
diminished thine ordinary [food], and delivered thee unto the will of them
that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy
lewd way.
EZE-16:28 Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou
wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest
not be satisfied.
EZE-16:29 Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan
unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.
EZE-16:30 How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest all
these [things], the work of an imperious whorish woman;
EZE-16:31 In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way,
and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot,
in that thou scornest hire;
EZE-16:32 [But as] a wife that committeth adultery, [which] taketh strangers
instead of her husband!
EZE-16:33 They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy
lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy
whoredom.
EZE-16:34 And the contrary is in thee from [other] women in thy whoredoms,
whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a
reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
EZE-16:35 Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:
EZE-16:36 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and
thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all
the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou
didst give unto them;
EZE-16:37 Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast
taken pleasure, and all [them] that thou hast loved, with all [them] that thou
hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will
discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
EZE-16:38 And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood
are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.
EZE-16:39 And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw
down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall
strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee
naked and bare.
EZE-16:40 They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall
stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.
EZE-16:41 And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments
upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from
playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.
EZE-16:42 So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall
depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
EZE-16:43 Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast
fretted me in all these [things]; behold, therefore I also will recompense thy
way upon [thine] head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit this
lewdness above all thine abominations.
EZE-16:44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use [this] proverb
against thee, saying, As [is] the mother, [so is] her daughter.
EZE-16:45 Thou [art] thy mother's daughter, that loatheth her husband and her
children; and thou [art] the sister of thy sisters, which loathed their
husbands and their children: your mother [was] an Hittite, and your father an
Amorite.
EZE-16:46 And thine elder sister [is] Samaria, she and her daughters that
dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right
hand, [is] Sodom and her daughters.
EZE-16:47 Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their
abominations: but, as [if that were] a very little [thing], thou wast
corrupted more than they in all thy ways.
EZE-16:48 [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done,
she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.
EZE-16:49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness
of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither
did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
EZE-16:50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me:
therefore I took them away as I saw [good].
EZE-16:51 Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast
multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters
in all thine abominations which thou hast done.
EZE-16:52 Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for
thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more
righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that
thou hast justified thy sisters.
EZE-16:53 When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom
and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then [will
I bring again] the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:
EZE-16:54 That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in
all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.
EZE-16:55 When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their
former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former
estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.
EZE-16:56 For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of
thy pride,
EZE-16:57 Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of [thy]
reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all [that are] round about her, the
daughters of the Philistines, which despise thee round about.
EZE-16:58 Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith the
LORD.
EZE-16:59 For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as thou
hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
EZE-16:60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of
thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
EZE-16:61 Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt
receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto
thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.
EZE-16:62 And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know
that I [am] the LORD:
EZE-16:63 That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy
mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all
that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-17:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-17:2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house
of Israel;
EZE-17:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; A great eagle with great wings,
longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and
took the highest branch of the cedar:
EZE-17:4 He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a
land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants.
EZE-17:5 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful
field; he placed [it] by great waters, [and] set it [as] a willow tree.
EZE-17:6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose
branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became
a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
EZE-17:7 There was also another great eagle with great wings and many
feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth
her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her
plantation.
EZE-17:8 It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring
forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.
EZE-17:9 Say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Shall it prosper? shall he not
pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? it
shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power or many
people to pluck it up by the roots thereof.
EZE-17:10 Yea, behold, [being] planted, shall it prosper? shall it not
utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the furrows
where it grew.
EZE-17:11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-17:12 Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these [things
mean]? tell [them], Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath
taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to
Babylon;
EZE-17:13 And hath taken of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him,
and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of the land:
EZE-17:14 That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up,
[but] that by keeping of his covenant it might stand.
EZE-17:15 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt,
that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he
escape that doeth such [things]? or shall he break the covenant, and be
delivered?
EZE-17:16 [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place [where] the
king [dwelleth] that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant
he brake, [even] with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
EZE-17:17 Neither shall Pharaoh with [his] mighty army and great company make
for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many
persons:
EZE-17:18 Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he
had given his hand, and hath done all these [things], he shall not escape.
EZE-17:19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; [As] I live, surely mine oath
that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I
recompense upon his own head.
EZE-17:20 And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my
snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his
trespass that he hath trespassed against me.
EZE-17:21 And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword,
and they that remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know
that I the LORD have spoken [it].
EZE-17:22 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of
the high cedar, and will set [it]; I will crop off from the top of his young
twigs a tender one, and will plant [it] upon an high mountain and eminent:
EZE-17:23 In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it
shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it
shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof
shall they dwell.
EZE-17:24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have
brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green
tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have
done [it].
EZE-18:1 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
EZE-18:2 What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of
Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth
are set on edge?
EZE-18:3 [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have [occasion] any
more to use this proverb in Israel.
EZE-18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the
soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
EZE-18:5 But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,
EZE-18:6 [And] hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his
eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's
wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman,
EZE-18:7 And hath not oppressed any, [but] hath restored to the debtor his
pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and
hath covered the naked with a garment;
EZE-18:8 He [that] hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any
increase, [that] hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true
judgment between man and man,
EZE-18:9 Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal
truly; he [is] just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-18:10 If he beget a son [that is] a robber, a shedder of blood, and
[that] doeth the like to [any] one of these [things],
EZE-18:11 And that doeth not any of those [duties], but even hath eaten upon
the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,
EZE-18:12 Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath
not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath
committed abomination,
EZE-18:13 Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then
live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely
die; his blood shall be upon him.
EZE-18:14 Now, lo, [if] he beget a son, that seeth all his father's sins
which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,
EZE-18:15 [That] hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up
his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbour's
wife,
EZE-18:16 Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden the pledge, neither
hath spoiled by violence, [but] hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath
covered the naked with a garment,
EZE-18:17 [That] hath taken off his hand from the poor, [that] hath not
received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my
statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely
live.
EZE-18:18 [As for] his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his
brother by violence, and did [that] which [is] not good among his people, lo,
even he shall die in his iniquity.
EZE-18:19 Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father?
When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, [and] hath kept all my
statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.
EZE-18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the
iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son:
the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of
the wicked shall be upon him.
EZE-18:21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath
committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he
shall surely live, he shall not die.
EZE-18:22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be
mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
EZE-18:23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the
Lord GOD: [and] not that he should return from his ways, and live?
EZE-18:24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and
committeth iniquity, [and] doeth according to all the abominations that the
wicked [man] doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done
shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his
sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
EZE-18:25 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of
Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
EZE-18:26 When a righteous [man] turneth away from his righteousness, and
committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done
shall he die.
EZE-18:27 Again, when the wicked [man] turneth away from his wickedness that
he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his
soul alive.
EZE-18:28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his
transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

EZE-18:29 Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O
house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
EZE-18:30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according
to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn [yourselves] from all your
transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
EZE-18:31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have
transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die,
O house of Israel?
EZE-18:32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the
Lord GOD: wherefore turn [yourselves], and live ye.
EZE-19:1 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
EZE-19:2 And say, What [is] thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions,
she nourished her whelps among young lions.
EZE-19:3 And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it
learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
EZE-19:4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they
brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
EZE-19:5 Now when she saw that she had waited, [and] her hope was lost, then
she took another of her whelps, [and] made him a young lion.
EZE-19:6 And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and
learned to catch the prey, [and] devoured men.
EZE-19:7 And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities;
and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise of his
roaring.
EZE-19:8 Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces,
and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.
EZE-19:9 And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of
Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard
upon the mountains of Israel.
EZE-19:10 Thy mother [is] like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters:
she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
EZE-19:11 And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule,
and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her
height with the multitude of her branches.
EZE-19:12 But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground,
and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and
withered; the fire consumed them.
EZE-19:13 And now she [is] planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty
ground.
EZE-19:14 And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, [which] hath
devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod [to be] a sceptre to rule.
This [is] a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
EZE-20:1 And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], the
tenth [day] of the month, [that] certain of the elders of Israel came to
inquire of the LORD, and sat before me.
EZE-20:2 Then came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,
EZE-20:3 Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Are ye come to inquire of me? [As] I live, saith the Lord
GOD, I will not be inquired of by you.
EZE-20:4 Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge [them]? cause them
to know the abominations of their fathers:
EZE-20:5 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose
Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made
myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto
them, saying, I [am] the LORD your God;
EZE-20:6 In the day [that] I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them
forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing
with milk and honey, which [is] the glory of all lands:
EZE-20:7 Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of
his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I [am] the LORD
your God.
EZE-20:8 But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they
did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they
forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to
accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
EZE-20:9 But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted
before the heathen, among whom they [were], in whose sight I made myself known
unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
EZE-20:10 Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and
brought them into the wilderness.
EZE-20:11 And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments, which
[if] a man do, he shall even live in them.
EZE-20:12 Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and
them, that they might know that I [am] the LORD that sanctify them.
EZE-20:13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they
walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which [if] a man
do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I
said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
EZE-20:14 But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted
before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.
EZE-20:15 Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I
would not bring them into the land which I had given [them], flowing with milk
and honey, which [is] the glory of all lands;
EZE-20:16 Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes,
but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
EZE-20:17 Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did
I make an end of them in the wilderness.
EZE-20:18 But I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in
the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile
yourselves with their idols:
EZE-20:19 I [am] the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my
judgments, and do them;
EZE-20:20 And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and
you, that ye may know that I [am] the LORD your God.
EZE-20:21 Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not
in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which [if] a man do, he
shall even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour
out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
EZE-20:22 Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my name's sake,
that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I
brought them forth.
EZE-20:23 I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I
would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;

EZE-20:24 Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my
statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their
fathers' idols.
EZE-20:25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes [that were] not good, and
judgments whereby they should not live;
EZE-20:26 And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass
through [the fire] all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate,
to the end that they might know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-20:27 Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto
them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in
that they have committed a trespass against me.
EZE-20:28 [For] when I had brought them into the land, [for] the which I
lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all
the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they
presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet
savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.
EZE-20:29 Then I said unto them, What [is] the high place whereunto ye go?
And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day.
EZE-20:30 Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye whoredom after
their abominations?
EZE-20:31 For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass
through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this
day: and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? [As] I live, saith
the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you.
EZE-20:32 And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye
say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve
wood and stone.
EZE-20:33 [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and
with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:
EZE-20:34 And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out
of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a
stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
EZE-20:35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there
will I plead with you face to face.
EZE-20:36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land
of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-20:37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you
into the bond of the covenant:
EZE-20:38 And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that
transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they
sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know
that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-20:39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye,
serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter [also], if ye will not hearken
unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your
idols.
EZE-20:40 For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel,
saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the
land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your
offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.
EZE-20:41 I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from
the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been
scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.
EZE-20:42 And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall bring you into
the land of Israel, into the country [for] the which I lifted up mine hand to
give it to your fathers.
EZE-20:43 And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein
ye have been defiled; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all
your evils that ye have committed.
EZE-20:44 And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have wrought with
you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to
your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-20:45 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-20:46 Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop [thy word]
toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;
EZE-20:47 And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour
every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be
quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.
EZE-20:48 And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall
not be quenched.
EZE-20:49 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak
parables?
EZE-21:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-21:2 Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop [thy word]
toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,
EZE-21:3 And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I [am]
against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off
from thee the righteous and the wicked.
EZE-21:4 Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the
wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh
from the south to the north:
EZE-21:5 That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword
out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.
EZE-21:6 Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of [thy] loins;
and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.
EZE-21:7 And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou?
that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every heart
shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and
all knees shall be weak [as] water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to
pass, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-21:8 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-21:9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a
sword is sharpened, and also furbished:
EZE-21:10 It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it
may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, [as]
every tree.
EZE-21:11 And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this
sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the
slayer.
EZE-21:12 Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it [shall
be] upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be
upon my people: smite therefore upon [thy] thigh.
EZE-21:13 Because [it is] a trial, and what if [the sword] contemn even the
rod? it shall be no [more], saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-21:14 Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite [thine] hands
together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain:
it [is] the sword of the great [men that are] slain, which entereth into their
privy chambers.
EZE-21:15 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that
[their] heart may faint, and [their] ruins be multiplied: ah! [it is] made
bright, [it is] wrapped up for the slaughter.
EZE-21:16 Go thee one way or other, [either] on the right hand, [or] on the
left, whithersoever thy face [is] set.
EZE-21:17 I will also smite mine hands together, and I will cause my fury to
rest: I the LORD have said [it].
EZE-21:18 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
EZE-21:19 Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the
king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and
choose thou a place, choose [it] at the head of the way to the city.
EZE-21:20 Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites,
and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.
EZE-21:21 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the
head of the two ways, to use divination: he made [his] arrows bright, he
consulted with images, he looked in the liver.
EZE-21:22 At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint
captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with
shouting, to appoint [battering] rams against the gates, to cast a mount,
[and] to build a fort.
EZE-21:23 And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, to
them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that
they may be taken.
EZE-21:24 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have made your
iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that
in all your doings your sins do appear; because, [I say], that ye are come to
remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
EZE-21:25 And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when
iniquity [shall have] an end,
EZE-21:26 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown:
this [shall] not [be] the same: exalt [him that is] low, and abase [him that
is] high.
EZE-21:27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no [more],
until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [him].
EZE-21:28 And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD
concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The
sword, the sword [is] drawn: for the slaughter [it is] furbished, to consume
because of the glittering:
EZE-21:29 Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto
thee, to bring thee upon the necks of [them that are] slain, of the wicked,
whose day is come, when their iniquity [shall have] an end.
EZE-21:30 Shall I cause [it] to return into his sheath? I will judge thee in
the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity.
EZE-21:31 And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow against
thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men,
[and] skilful to destroy.
EZE-21:32 Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst
of the land; thou shalt be no [more] remembered: for I the LORD have spoken
[it].
EZE-22:1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-22:2 Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody
city? yea, thou shalt show her all her abominations.
EZE-22:3 Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in
the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to
defile herself.
EZE-22:4 Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast
defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy
days to draw near, and art come [even] unto thy years: therefore have I made
thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.
EZE-22:5 [Those that be] near, and [those that be] far from thee, shall mock
thee, [which art] infamous [and] much vexed.
EZE-22:6 Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power
to shed blood.
EZE-22:7 In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of
thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed
the fatherless and the widow.
EZE-22:8 Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.
EZE-22:9 In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat
upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.
EZE-22:10 In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee have
they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
EZE-22:11 And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and
another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath
humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
EZE-22:12 In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury
and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion,
and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-22:13 Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain
which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.
EZE-22:14 Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days
that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken [it], and will do [it].
EZE-22:15 And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the
countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.
EZE-22:16 And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight of
the heathen, and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-22:17 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-22:18 Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they
[are] brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they
are [even] the dross of silver.
EZE-22:19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross,
behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
EZE-22:20 [As] they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin,
into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt [it]; so will
I gather [you] in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave [you there], and
melt you.
EZE-22:21 Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath,
and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.
EZE-22:22 As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be
melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out
my fury upon you.
EZE-22:23 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-22:24 Son of man, say unto her, Thou [art] the land that is not cleansed,
nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
EZE-22:25 [There is] a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like
a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken
the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst
thereof.
EZE-22:26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy
things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have
they showed [difference] between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their
eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
EZE-22:27 Her princes in the midst thereof [are] like wolves ravening the
prey, to shed blood, [and] to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
EZE-22:28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered [mortar], seeing
vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the
LORD hath not spoken.
EZE-22:29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery,
and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger
wrongfully.
EZE-22:30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge,
and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but
I found none.
EZE-22:31 Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have
consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon
their heads, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-23:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
EZE-23:2 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
EZE-23:3 And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in
their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the
teats of their virginity.
EZE-23:4 And the names of them [were] Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her
sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus [were]
their names; Samaria [is] Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.
EZE-23:5 And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her
lovers, on the Assyrians [her] neighbours,
EZE-23:6 [Which were] clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them
desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
EZE-23:7 Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them [that
were] the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all
their idols she defiled herself.
EZE-23:8 Neither left she her whoredoms [brought] from Egypt: for in her
youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and
poured their whoredom upon her.
EZE-23:9 Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the
hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
EZE-23:10 These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her
daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became famous among women; for
they had executed judgment upon her.
EZE-23:11 And when her sister Aholibah saw [this], she was more corrupt in
her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in
[her] whoredoms.
EZE-23:12 She doted upon the Assyrians [her] neighbours, captains and rulers
clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable
young men.
EZE-23:13 Then I saw that she was defiled, [that] they [took] both one way,
EZE-23:14 And [that] she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men
portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,

EZE-23:15 Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon
their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the
Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:
EZE-23:16 And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and
sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.
EZE-23:17 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they
defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind
was alienated from them.
EZE-23:18 So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then
my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister.

EZE-23:19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the
days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
EZE-23:20 For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh [is as] the flesh
of asses, and whose issue [is like] the issue of horses.
EZE-23:21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in
bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.
EZE-23:22 Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will
raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will
bring them against thee on every side;
EZE-23:23 The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa,
[and] all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young men, captains
and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.
EZE-23:24 And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels,
and with an assembly of people, [which] shall set against thee buckler and
shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they
shall judge thee according to their judgments.
EZE-23:25 And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal
furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy
remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters;
and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.
EZE-23:26 They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy
fair jewels.
EZE-23:27 Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom
[brought] from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes
unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.
EZE-23:28 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver thee into the
hand [of them] whom thou hatest, into the hand [of them] from whom thy mind is
alienated:
EZE-23:29 And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all
thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy
whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
EZE-23:30 I will do these [things] unto thee, because thou hast gone a
whoring after the heathen, [and] because thou art polluted with their idols.
EZE-23:31 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give
her cup into thine hand.
EZE-23:32 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep
and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth
much.
EZE-23:33 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of
astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.
EZE-23:34 Thou shalt even drink it and suck [it] out, and thou shalt break
the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken [it],
saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-23:35 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast forgotten me,
and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy
whoredoms.
EZE-23:36 The LORD said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou judge Aholah
and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations;
EZE-23:37 That they have committed adultery, and blood [is] in their hands,
and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their
sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through [the fire], to devour
[them].
EZE-23:38 Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my
sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.
EZE-23:39 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they
came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they
done in the midst of mine house.
EZE-23:40 And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from far, unto
whom a messenger [was] sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou didst wash
thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments,
EZE-23:41 And satest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it,
whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil.
EZE-23:42 And a voice of a multitude being at ease [was] with her: and with
the men of the common sort [were] brought Sabeans from the wilderness, which
put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.
EZE-23:43 Then said I unto [her that was] old in adulteries, Will they now
commit whoredoms with her, and she [with them]?
EZE-23:44 Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth
the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women.
EZE-23:45 And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the manner of
adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood; because they
[are] adulteresses, and blood [is] in their hands.
EZE-23:46 For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will bring up a company upon them,
and will give them to be removed and spoiled.
EZE-23:47 And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them
with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up
their houses with fire.
EZE-23:48 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women
may be taught not to do after your lewdness.
EZE-23:49 And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear
the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.
EZE-24:1 Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of
the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-24:2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, [even] of this same day:
the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.
EZE-24:3 And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them,
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set [it] on, and also pour water into
it:
EZE-24:4 Gather the pieces thereof into it, [even] every good piece, the
thigh, and the shoulder; fill [it] with the choice bones.
EZE-24:5 Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it,
[and] make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.
EZE-24:6 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the
pot whose scum [is] therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it
out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.
EZE-24:7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a
rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;
EZE-24:8 That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set
her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.
EZE-24:9 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will
even make the pile for fire great.
EZE-24:10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it
well, and let the bones be burned.
EZE-24:11 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may
be hot, and may burn, and [that] the filthiness of it may be molten in it,
[that] the scum of it may be consumed.
EZE-24:12 She hath wearied [herself] with lies, and her great scum went not
forth out of her: her scum [shall be] in the fire.
EZE-24:13 In thy filthiness [is] lewdness: because I have purged thee, and
thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more,
till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.
EZE-24:14 I the LORD have spoken [it]: it shall come to pass, and I will do
[it]; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent;
according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee,
saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-24:15 Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-24:16 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes
with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears
run down.
EZE-24:17 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of
thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not [thy]
lips, and eat not the bread of men.
EZE-24:18 So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife
died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
EZE-24:19 And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these
[things are] to us, that thou doest [so]?
EZE-24:20 Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-24:21 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I
will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your
eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom
ye have left shall fall by the sword.
EZE-24:22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover [your] lips, nor
eat the bread of men.
EZE-24:23 And your tires [shall be] upon your heads, and your shoes upon your
feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities,
and mourn one toward another.
EZE-24:24 Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done
shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.
EZE-24:25 Also, thou son of man, [shall it] not [be] in the day when I take
from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes,
and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,
EZE-24:26 [That] he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause
[thee] to hear [it] with [thine] ears?
EZE-24:27 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and
thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and
they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-25:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
EZE-25:2 Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against
them;
EZE-25:3 And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it
was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and
against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity;
EZE-25:4 Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the east for a
possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings
in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk.
EZE-25:5 And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites a
couchingplace for flocks: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-25:6 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped [thine]
hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite
against the land of Israel;
EZE-25:7 Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will
deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the
people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy
thee; and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-25:8 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold,
the house of Judah [is] like unto all the heathen;
EZE-25:9 Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities,
from his cities [which are] on his frontiers, the glory of the country,
Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim,
EZE-25:10 Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them in
possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.
EZE-25:11 And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I
[am] the LORD.
EZE-25:12 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the
house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged
himself upon them;
EZE-25:13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine
hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it
desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.
EZE-25:14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people
Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my
fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-25:15 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt by
revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy [it] for
the old hatred;
EZE-25:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out mine
hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the
remnant of the sea coast.
EZE-25:17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes;
and they shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon
them.
EZE-26:1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first [day] of the
month, [that] the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-26:2 Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she
is broken [that was] the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall
be replenished, [now] she is laid waste:
EZE-26:3 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O
Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth
his waves to come up.
EZE-26:4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her
towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a
rock.
EZE-26:5 It shall be [a place for] the spreading of nets in the midst of the
sea: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil
to the nations.
EZE-26:6 And her daughters which [are] in the field shall be slain by the
sword; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-26:7 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses,
and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.
EZE-26:8 He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he
shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the
buckler against thee.
EZE-26:9 And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes
he shall break down thy towers.
EZE-26:10 By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover
thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels,
and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a
city wherein is made a breach.
EZE-26:11 With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets:
he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down
to the ground.
EZE-26:12 And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy
merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant
houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst
of the water.
EZE-26:13 And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of
thy harps shall be no more heard.
EZE-26:14 And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be [a
place] to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD have
spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-26:15 Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at the
sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the
midst of thee?
EZE-26:16 Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones,
and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall
clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall
tremble at [every] moment, and be astonished at thee.
EZE-26:17 And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How
art thou destroyed, [that wast] inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city,
which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their
terror [to be] on all that haunt it!
EZE-26:18 Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles
that [are] in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.
EZE-26:19 For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee a desolate
city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep
upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee;
EZE-26:20 When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit,
with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth,
in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not
inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;
EZE-26:21 I will make thee a terror, and thou [shalt be] no [more]: though
thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-27:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
EZE-27:2 Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;
EZE-27:3 And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea,
[which art] a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
O Tyrus, thou hast said, I [am] of perfect beauty.
EZE-27:4 Thy borders [are] in the midst of the seas, thy builders have
perfected thy beauty.
EZE-27:5 They have made all thy [ship] boards of fir trees of Senir: they
have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee.
EZE-27:6 [Of] the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; the company of
the Ashurites have made thy benches [of] ivory, [brought] out of the isles of
Chittim.
EZE-27:7 Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which thou
spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was
that which covered thee.
EZE-27:8 The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners: thy wise
[men], O Tyrus, [that] were in thee, were thy pilots.
EZE-27:9 The ancients of Gebal and the wise [men] thereof were in thee thy
calkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to occupy
thy merchandise.
EZE-27:10 They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in thine army, thy men
of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy
comeliness.
EZE-27:11 The men of Arvad with thine army [were] upon thy walls round about,
and the Gammadims were in thy towers: they hanged their shields upon thy walls
round about; they have made thy beauty perfect.
EZE-27:12 Tarshish [was] thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all [kind
of] riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs.
EZE-27:13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they [were] thy merchants: they traded
the persons of men and vessels of brass in thy market.
EZE-27:14 They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and
horsemen and mules.
EZE-27:15 The men of Dedan [were] thy merchants; many isles [were] the
merchandise of thine hand: they brought thee [for] a present horns of ivory
and ebony.
EZE-27:16 Syria [was] thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of
thy making: they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and broidered
work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate.
EZE-27:17 Judah, and the land of Israel, they [were] thy merchants: they
traded in thy market wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and
balm.
EZE-27:18 Damascus [was] thy merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy
making, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white
wool.
EZE-27:19 Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in thy fairs: bright
iron, cassia, and calamus, were in thy market.
EZE-27:20 Dedan [was] thy merchant in precious clothes for chariots.
EZE-27:21 Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they occupied with thee in
lambs, and rams, and goats: in these [were they] thy merchants.
EZE-27:22 The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they [were] thy merchants: they
occupied in thy fairs with chief of all spices, and with all precious stones,
and gold.
EZE-27:23 Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, [and]
Chilmad, [were] thy merchants.
EZE-27:24 These [were] thy merchants in all sorts [of things], in blue
clothes, and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords,
and made of cedar, among thy merchandise.
EZE-27:25 The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou wast
replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.
EZE-27:26 Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath
broken thee in the midst of the seas.
EZE-27:27 Thy riches, and thy fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy
pilots, thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and all thy men of
war, that [are] in thee, and in all thy company which [is] in the midst of
thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin.
EZE-27:28 The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots.
EZE-27:29 And all that handle the oar, the mariners, [and] all the pilots of
the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land;
EZE-27:30 And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry
bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow
themselves in the ashes:
EZE-27:31 And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them
with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart [and]
bitter wailing.
EZE-27:32 And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and
lament over thee, [saying], What [city is] like Tyrus, like the destroyed in
the midst of the sea?
EZE-27:33 When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many
people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy
riches and of thy merchandise.
EZE-27:34 In the time [when] thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths
of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall
fall.
EZE-27:35 All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee, and
their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in [their]
countenance.
EZE-27:36 The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be a
terror, and never [shalt be] any more.
EZE-28:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
EZE-28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Because thine heart [is] lifted up, and thou hast said, I [am] a God, I sit
[in] the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou [art] a man, and not
God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
EZE-28:3 Behold, thou [art] wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they
can hide from thee:
EZE-28:4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee
riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
EZE-28:5 By thy great wisdom [and] by thy traffic hast thou increased thy
riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
EZE-28:6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart
as the heart of God;
EZE-28:7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of
the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy
wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
EZE-28:8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths
of [them that are] slain in the midst of the seas.
EZE-28:9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I [am] God? but thou
[shalt be] a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
EZE-28:10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of
strangers: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-28:11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say
unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom,
and perfect in beauty.
EZE-28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone
[was] thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx,
and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the
workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day
that thou wast created.
EZE-28:14 Thou [art] the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee
[so]: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in
the midst of the stones of fire.
EZE-28:15 Thou [wast] perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast
created, till iniquity was found in thee.
EZE-28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of
thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as
profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering
cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
EZE-28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast
corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the
ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
EZE-28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine
iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a
fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to
ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
EZE-28:19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at
thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never [shalt] thou [be] any more.
EZE-28:20 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-28:21 Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,
EZE-28:22 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O
Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that
I [am] the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be
sanctified in her.
EZE-28:23 For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets;
and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on
every side; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-28:24 And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of
Israel, nor [any] grieving thorn of all [that are] round about them, that
despised them; and they shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.
EZE-28:25 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of
Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified
in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that
I have given to my servant Jacob.
EZE-28:26 And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and
plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed
judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall
know that I [am] the LORD their God.
EZE-29:1 In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], in the twelfth [day] of the
month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-29:2 Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy
against him, and against all Egypt:
EZE-29:3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against
thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his
rivers, which hath said, My river [is] mine own, and I have made [it] for
myself.
EZE-29:4 But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy
rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of
thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.
EZE-29:5 And I will leave thee [thrown] into the wilderness, thee and all the
fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be
brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of
the field and to the fowls of the heaven.
EZE-29:6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I [am] the LORD,
because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
EZE-29:7 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend
all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest
all their loins to be at a stand.
EZE-29:8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon
thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.
EZE-29:9 And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall
know that I [am] the LORD: because he hath said, The river [is] mine, and I
have made [it].
EZE-29:10 Behold, therefore I [am] against thee, and against thy rivers, and
I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste [and] desolate, from the tower of
Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.
EZE-29:11 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass
through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
EZE-29:12 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the
countries [that are] desolate, and her cities among the cities [that are] laid
waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among
the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
EZE-29:13 Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I
gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:
EZE-29:14 And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them
to return [into] the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and
they shall be there a base kingdom.
EZE-29:15 It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt
itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall
no more rule over the nations.
EZE-29:16 And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel,
which bringeth [their] iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after
them: but they shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.
EZE-29:17 And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first
[month], in the first [day] of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me,
saying,
EZE-29:18 Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve
a great service against Tyrus: every head [was] made bald, and every shoulder
[was] peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service
that he had served against it:
EZE-29:19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of
Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude,
and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.

EZE-29:20 I have given him the land of Egypt [for] his labour wherewith he
served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-29:21 In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud
forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and
they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-30:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
EZE-30:2 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe
worth the day!
EZE-30:3 For the day [is] near, even the day of the LORD [is] near, a cloudy
day; it shall be the time of the heathen.
EZE-30:4 And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in
Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her
multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
EZE-30:5 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and
Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the
sword.
EZE-30:6 Thus saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the
pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in
it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-30:7 And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries [that are]
desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities [that are]
wasted.
EZE-30:8 And they shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have set a fire in
Egypt, and [when] all her helpers shall be destroyed.
EZE-30:9 In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the
careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day
of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.
EZE-30:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to
cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.
EZE-30:11 He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be
brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords against Egypt,
and fill the land with the slain.
EZE-30:12 And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of
the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the
hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken [it].
EZE-30:13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and I will
cause [their] images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince
of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.
EZE-30:14 And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and
will execute judgments in No.
EZE-30:15 And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will
cut off the multitude of No.
EZE-30:16 And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No
shall be rent asunder, and Noph [shall have] distresses daily.
EZE-30:17 The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword: and
these [cities] shall go into captivity.
EZE-30:18 At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break
there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as
for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
EZE-30:19 Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I
[am] the LORD.
EZE-30:20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first [month], in
the seventh [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came unto me,
saying,
EZE-30:21 Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and,
lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make
it strong to hold the sword.
EZE-30:22 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against Pharaoh
king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken;
and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
EZE-30:23 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will
disperse them through the countries.
EZE-30:24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my
sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan before
him with the groanings of a deadly wounded [man].
EZE-30:25 But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms
of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I
shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch
it out upon the land of Egypt.
EZE-30:26 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse
them among the countries; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-31:1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third [month], in
the first [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came unto me,
saying,
EZE-31:2 Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude;
Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
EZE-31:3 Behold, the Assyrian [was] a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches,
and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the
thick boughs.
EZE-31:4 The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her
rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all
the trees of the field.
EZE-31:5 Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field,
and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the
multitude of waters, when he shot forth.
EZE-31:6 All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under
his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and
under his shadow dwelt all great nations.
EZE-31:7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches:
for his root was by great waters.
EZE-31:8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees
were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches;
nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
EZE-31:9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all
the trees of Eden, that [were] in the garden of God, envied him.
EZE-31:10 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up
thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his
heart is lifted up in his height;
EZE-31:11 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of
the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his
wickedness.
EZE-31:12 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and
have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are
fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the
people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
EZE-31:13 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the
beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
EZE-31:14 To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt
themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick
boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water:
for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in
the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
EZE-31:15 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave
I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods
thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for
him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.
EZE-31:16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast
him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of
Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted
in the nether parts of the earth.
EZE-31:17 They also went down into hell with him unto [them that be] slain
with the sword; and [they that were] his arm, [that] dwelt under his shadow in
the midst of the heathen.
EZE-31:18 To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the
trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the
nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised
with [them that be] slain by the sword. This [is] Pharaoh and all his
multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-32:1 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in
the first [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came unto me,
saying,
EZE-32:2 Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say
unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou [art] as a whale
in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters
with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.
EZE-32:3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out my net over
thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net.
EZE-32:4 Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon
the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon
thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee.
EZE-32:5 And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys
with thy height.
EZE-32:6 I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest,
[even] to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.
EZE-32:7 And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the
stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not
give her light.
EZE-32:8 All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set
darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-32:9 I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy
destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.
EZE-32:10 Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their kings shall
be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and
they shall tremble at [every] moment, every man for his own life, in the day
of thy fall.
EZE-32:11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of Babylon shall
come upon thee.
EZE-32:12 By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall, the
terrible of the nations, all of them: and they shall spoil the pomp of Egypt,
and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed.
EZE-32:13 I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great
waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of
beasts trouble them.
EZE-32:14 Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run
like oil, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-32:15 When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the country shall
be destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that
dwell therein, then shall they know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-32:16 This [is] the lamentation wherewith they shall lament her: the
daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for her, [even]
for Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-32:17 It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth [day] of
the month, [that] the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-32:18 Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down,
[even] her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of
the earth, with them that go down into the pit.
EZE-32:19 Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the
uncircumcised.
EZE-32:20 They shall fall in the midst of [them that are] slain by the sword:
she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes.
EZE-32:21 The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of
hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised,
slain by the sword.
EZE-32:22 Asshur [is] there and all her company: his graves [are] about him:
all of them slain, fallen by the sword:
EZE-32:23 Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is
round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused
terror in the land of the living.
EZE-32:24 There [is] Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of
them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the
nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the
living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.
EZE-32:25 They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her
multitude: her graves [are] round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain
by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet
have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in
the midst of [them that be] slain.
EZE-32:26 There [is] Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves [are]
round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they
caused their terror in the land of the living.
EZE-32:27 And they shall not lie with the mighty [that are] fallen of the
uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they
have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon
their bones, though [they were] the terror of the mighty in the land of the
living.
EZE-32:28 Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and
shalt lie with [them that are] slain with the sword.
EZE-32:29 There [is] Edom, her kings, and all her princes, which with their
might are laid by [them that were] slain by the sword: they shall lie with the
uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.
EZE-32:30 There [be] the princes of the north, all of them, and all the
Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are
ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with [them that be] slain
by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit.
EZE-32:31 Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his
multitude, [even] Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord
GOD.
EZE-32:32 For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall
be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with [them that are] slain with the
sword, [even] Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-33:1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-33:2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them,
When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of
their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
EZE-33:3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet,
and warn the people;
EZE-33:4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not
warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own
head.
EZE-33:5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood
shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
EZE-33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet,
and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take [any] person from
among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at
the watchman's hand.
EZE-33:7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of
Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.

EZE-33:8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked [man], thou shalt surely die;
if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked [man]
shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
EZE-33:9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if
he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast
delivered thy soul.
EZE-33:10 Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus
ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins [be] upon us, and we pine
away in them, how should we then live?
EZE-33:11 Say unto them, [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure
in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live:
turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
EZE-33:12 Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people,
The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his
transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby
in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be
able to live for his [righteousness] in the day that he sinneth.
EZE-33:13 When I shall say to the righteous, [that] he shall surely live; if
he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his
righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath
committed, he shall die for it.
EZE-33:14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he
turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
EZE-33:15 [If] the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed,
walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely
live, he shall not die.
EZE-33:16 None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto
him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
EZE-33:17 Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not
equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
EZE-33:18 When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth
iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
EZE-33:19 But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is
lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
EZE-33:20 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel,
I will judge you every one after his ways.
EZE-33:21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the
tenth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, [that] one that had escaped
out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.
EZE-33:22 Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, afore he that
was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning;
and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
EZE-33:23 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-33:24 Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel
speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we [are] many;
the land is given us for inheritance.
EZE-33:25 Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the
blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye
possess the land?
EZE-33:26 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every
one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land?
EZE-33:27 Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; [As] I live,
surely they that [are] in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that
[is] in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that
[be] in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
EZE-33:28 For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength
shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall
pass through.
EZE-33:29 Then shall they know that I [am] the LORD, when I have laid the
land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have
committed.
EZE-33:30 Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking
against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to
another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is
the word that cometh forth from the LORD.
EZE-33:31 And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before
thee [as] my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for
with their mouth they show much love, [but] their heart goeth after their
covetousness.
EZE-33:32 And, lo, thou [art] unto them as a very lovely song of one that
hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy
words, but they do them not.
EZE-33:33 And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they
know that a prophet hath been among them.
EZE-34:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-34:2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and
say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe [be] to the
shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the
flocks?
EZE-34:3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that
are fed: [but] ye feed not the flock.
EZE-34:4 The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that
which was sick, neither have ye bound up [that which was] broken, neither have
ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which
was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.
EZE-34:5 And they were scattered, because [there is] no shepherd: and they
became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.
EZE-34:6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high
hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did
search or seek [after them].
EZE-34:7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
EZE-34:8 [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a
prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because [there
was] no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the
shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;
EZE-34:9 Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
EZE-34:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against the shepherds; and
I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding
the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will
deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
EZE-34:11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, [even] I, will both search
my sheep, and seek them out.
EZE-34:12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his
sheep [that are] scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them
out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
EZE-34:13 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the
countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the
mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the
country.
EZE-34:14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of
Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and [in] a
fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.
EZE-34:15 I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the
Lord GOD.
EZE-34:16 I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was
driven away, and will bind up [that which was] broken, and will strengthen
that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed
them with judgment.
EZE-34:17 And [as for] you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I
judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats.
EZE-34:18 [Seemeth it] a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good
pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures?
and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your
feet?
EZE-34:19 And [as for] my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with
your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
EZE-34:20 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, [even] I,
will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.
EZE-34:21 Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all
the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;
EZE-34:22 Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey;
and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
EZE-34:23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them,
[even] my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
EZE-34:24 And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince
among them; I the LORD have spoken [it].
EZE-34:25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the
evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the
wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
EZE-34:26 And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing;
and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers
of blessing.
EZE-34:27 And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth
shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know
that I [am] the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and
delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.
EZE-34:28 And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the
beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall
make [them] afraid.
EZE-34:29 And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be
no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the
heathen any more.
EZE-34:30 Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God [am] with them, and
[that] they, [even] the house of Israel, [are] my people, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-34:31 And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, [are] men, [and] I [am]
your God, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-35:1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-35:2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against
it,
EZE-35:3 And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I
[am] against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will
make thee most desolate.
EZE-35:4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou
shalt know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-35:5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed [the blood
of] the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their
calamity, in the time [that their] iniquity [had] an end:
EZE-35:6 Therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto
blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood
shall pursue thee.
EZE-35:7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him
that passeth out and him that returneth.
EZE-35:8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain [men]: in thy hills,
and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with
the sword.
EZE-35:9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not
return: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-35:10 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries
shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:
EZE-35:11 Therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do
according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out
of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I
have judged thee.
EZE-35:12 And thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD, [and that] I have heard
all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel,
saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
EZE-35:13 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have
multiplied your words against me: I have heard [them].
EZE-35:14 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will
make thee desolate.
EZE-35:15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel,
because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O
mount Seir, and all Idumea, [even] all of it: and they shall know that I [am]
the LORD.
EZE-36:1 Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and
say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:
EZE-36:2 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against you,
Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:
EZE-36:3 Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they
have made [you] desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be
a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips
of talkers, and [are] an infamy of the people:
EZE-36:4 Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD;
Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and
to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken,
which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that [are]
round about;
EZE-36:5 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy
have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea,
which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all [their]
heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.
EZE-36:6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the
mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the
Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have
borne the shame of the heathen:
EZE-36:7 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand,
Surely the heathen that [are] about you, they shall bear their shame.
EZE-36:8 But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches,
and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.
EZE-36:9 For, behold, I [am] for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall
be tilled and sown:
EZE-36:10 And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, [even]
all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded:

EZE-36:11 And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase
and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do
better [unto you] than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I [am] the
LORD.
EZE-36:12 Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, [even] my people Israel;
and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou
shalt no more henceforth bereave them [of men].
EZE-36:13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say unto you, Thou [land]
devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations;
EZE-36:14 Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy
nations any more, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-36:15 Neither will I cause [men] to hear in thee the shame of the heathen
any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither
shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-36:16 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-36:17 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they
defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as
the uncleanness of a removed woman.
EZE-36:18 Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had
shed upon the land, and for their idols [wherewith] they had polluted it:
EZE-36:19 And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed
through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I
judged them.
EZE-36:20 And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they
profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These [are] the people of the
LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.
EZE-36:21 But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had
profaned among the heathen, whither they went.
EZE-36:22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I
do not [this] for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's
sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.
EZE-36:23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the
heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall
know that I [am] the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in
you before their eyes.
EZE-36:24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of
all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
EZE-36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean:
from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
EZE-36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put
within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will
give you an heart of flesh.
EZE-36:27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my
statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do [them].
EZE-36:28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye
shall be my people, and I will be your God.
EZE-36:29 I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call
for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.
EZE-36:30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the
field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.
EZE-36:31 Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that
[were] not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your
iniquities and for your abominations.
EZE-36:32 Not for your sakes do I [this], saith the Lord GOD, be it known
unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.
EZE-36:33 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you
from all your iniquities I will also cause [you] to dwell in the cities, and
the wastes shall be builded.
EZE-36:34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in
the sight of all that passed by.
EZE-36:35 And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the
garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities [are become]
fenced, [and] are inhabited.
EZE-36:36 Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I
the LORD build the ruined [places, and] plant that that was desolate: I the
LORD have spoken [it], and I will do [it].
EZE-36:37 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet [for] this be inquired of by
the house of Israel, to do [it] for them; I will increase them with men like a
flock.
EZE-36:38 As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts;
so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know
that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-37:1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit
of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which [was] full of
bones,
EZE-37:2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, [there were]
very many in the open valley; and, lo, [they were] very dry.
EZE-37:3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I
answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
EZE-37:4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them,
O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
EZE-37:5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause
breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
EZE-37:6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you,
and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye
shall know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-37:7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a
noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
EZE-37:8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them,
and the skin covered them above: but [there was] no breath in them.
EZE-37:9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man,
and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O
breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
EZE-37:10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them,
and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
EZE-37:11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house
of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are
cut off for our parts.
EZE-37:12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of
your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
EZE-37:13 And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have opened your
graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
EZE-37:14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall
place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken
[it], and performed [it], saith the LORD.
EZE-37:15 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
EZE-37:16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it,
For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another
stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and [for] all the
house of Israel his companions:
EZE-37:17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become
one in thine hand.
EZE-37:18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying,
Wilt thou not show us what thou [meanest] by these?
EZE-37:19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the
stick of Joseph, which [is] in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel
his fellows, and will put them with him, [even] with the stick of Judah, and
make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
EZE-37:20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before
their eyes.
EZE-37:21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the
children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will
gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
EZE-37:22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of
Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two
nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
EZE-37:23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor
with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will
save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will
cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
EZE-37:24 And David my servant [shall be] king over them; and they all shall
have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my
statutes, and do them.
EZE-37:25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my
servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, [even]
they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my
servant David [shall be] their prince for ever.
EZE-37:26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an
everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and
will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
EZE-37:27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
EZE-37:28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when
my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
EZE-38:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-38:2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief
prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
EZE-38:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O
Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
EZE-38:4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will
bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed
with all sorts [of armour, even] a great company [with] bucklers and shields,
all of them handling swords:
EZE-38:5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and
helmet:
EZE-38:6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north
quarters, and all his bands: [and] many people with thee.
EZE-38:7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company
that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
EZE-38:8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou
shalt come into the land [that is] brought back from the sword, [and is]
gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been
always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell
safely all of them.
EZE-38:9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud
to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
EZE-38:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, [that] at the
same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil
thought:
EZE-38:11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages;
I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling
without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
EZE-38:12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the
desolate places [that are now] inhabited, and upon the people [that are]
gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in
the midst of the land.
EZE-38:13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young
lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou
gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take
away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
EZE-38:14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the
Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not
know [it]?
EZE-38:15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou,
and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company,
and a mighty army:
EZE-38:16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to
cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against
my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O
Gog, before their eyes.
EZE-38:17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; [Art] thou he of whom I have spoken in old
time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days
[many] years that I would bring thee against them?
EZE-38:18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come
against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, [that] my fury shall come up
in my face.
EZE-38:19 For in my jealousy [and] in the fire of my wrath have I spoken,
Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
EZE-38:20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the
beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and
all the men that [are] upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence,
and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and
every wall shall fall to the ground.
EZE-38:21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my
mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.

EZE-38:22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I
will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that [are]
with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
EZE-38:23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be
known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-39:1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of
Meshech and Tubal:
EZE-39:2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and
will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the
mountains of Israel:
EZE-39:3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine
arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
EZE-39:4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy
bands, and the people that [is] with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous
birds of every sort, and [to] the beasts of the field to be devoured.
EZE-39:5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken [it], saith
the Lord GOD.
EZE-39:6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell
carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
EZE-39:7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel;
and I will not [let them] pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall
know that I [am] the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
EZE-39:8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this [is]
the day whereof I have spoken.
EZE-39:9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and
shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the
bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn
them with fire seven years:
EZE-39:10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down
[any] out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they
shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the
Lord GOD.
EZE-39:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will give unto Gog
a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of
the sea: and it shall stop the [noses] of the passengers: and there shall they
bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call [it] The valley of
Hamongog.
EZE-39:12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that
they may cleanse the land.
EZE-39:13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury [them]; and it shall be
to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-39:14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing
through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face
of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
EZE-39:15 And the passengers [that] pass through the land, when [any] seeth a
man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it
in the valley of Hamongog.
EZE-39:16 And also the name of the city [shall be] Hamonah. Thus shall they
cleanse the land.
EZE-39:17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every
feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and
come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for
you, [even] a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat
flesh, and drink blood.
EZE-39:18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the
princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of
them fatlings of Bashan.
EZE-39:19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be
drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
EZE-39:20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with
mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-39:21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen
shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon
them.
EZE-39:22 So the house of Israel shall know that I [am] the LORD their God
from that day and forward.
EZE-39:23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into
captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore
hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell
they all by the sword.
EZE-39:24 According to their uncleanness and according to their
transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
EZE-39:25 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the
captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be
jealous for my holy name;
EZE-39:26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses
whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land,
and none made [them] afraid.
EZE-39:27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them
out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many
nations;
EZE-39:28 Then shall they know that I [am] the LORD their God, which caused
them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto
their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
EZE-39:29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured
out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-40:1 In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of
the year, in the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth year after that
the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me,
and brought me thither.
EZE-40:2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set
me upon a very high mountain, by which [was] as the frame of a city on the
south.
EZE-40:3 And he brought me thither, and, behold, [there was] a man, whose
appearance [was] like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his
hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
EZE-40:4 And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and
hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall show thee; for
to the intent that I might show [them] unto thee [art] thou brought hither:
declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.
EZE-40:5 And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in
the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits [long] by the cubit and an hand
breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height,
one reed.
EZE-40:6 Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went
up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate, [which was] one
reed broad; and the other threshold [of the gate, which was] one reed broad.
EZE-40:7 And [every] little chamber [was] one reed long, and one reed broad;
and between the little chambers [were] five cubits; and the threshold of the
gate by the porch of the gate within [was] one reed.
EZE-40:8 He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.
EZE-40:9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts
thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate [was] inward.
EZE-40:10 And the little chambers of the gate eastward [were] three on this
side, and three on that side; they three [were] of one measure: and the posts
had one measure on this side and on that side.
EZE-40:11 And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits;
[and] the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
EZE-40:12 The space also before the little chambers [was] one cubit [on this
side], and the space [was] one cubit on that side: and the little chambers
[were] six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
EZE-40:13 He measured then the gate from the roof of [one] little chamber to
the roof of another: the breadth [was] five and twenty cubits, door against
door.
EZE-40:14 He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the
court round about the gate.
EZE-40:15 And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the
porch of the inner gate [were] fifty cubits.
EZE-40:16 And [there were] narrow windows to the little chambers, and to
their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and
windows [were] round about inward: and upon [each] post [were] palm trees.
EZE-40:17 Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, [there were]
chambers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty chambers
[were] upon the pavement.
EZE-40:18 And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length
of the gates [was] the lower pavement.
EZE-40:19 Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate
unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits eastward and
northward.
EZE-40:20 And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he
measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.
EZE-40:21 And the little chambers thereof [were] three on this side and three
on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the
measure of the first gate: the length thereof [was] fifty cubits, and the
breadth five and twenty cubits.
EZE-40:22 And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees, [were]
after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and they went up
unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof [were] before them.
EZE-40:23 And the gate of the inner court [was] over against the gate toward
the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred
cubits.
EZE-40:24 After that he brought me toward the south, and behold a gate toward
the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according
to these measures.
EZE-40:25 And [there were] windows in it and in the arches thereof round
about, like those windows: the length [was] fifty cubits, and the breadth five
and twenty cubits.
EZE-40:26 And [there were] seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof
[were] before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on
that side, upon the posts thereof.
EZE-40:27 And [there was] a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he
measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits.
EZE-40:28 And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he
measured the south gate according to these measures;
EZE-40:29 And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the
arches thereof, according to these measures: and [there were] windows in it
and in the arches thereof round about: [it was] fifty cubits long, and five
and twenty cubits broad.
EZE-40:30 And the arches round about [were] five and twenty cubits long, and
five cubits broad.
EZE-40:31 And the arches thereof [were] toward the utter court; and palm
trees [were] upon the posts thereof: and the going up to it [had] eight steps.

EZE-40:32 And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he
measured the gate according to these measures.
EZE-40:33 And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the
arches thereof, [were] according to these measures: and [there were] windows
therein and in the arches thereof round about: [it was] fifty cubits long, and
five and twenty cubits broad.
EZE-40:34 And the arches thereof [were] toward the outward court; and palm
trees [were] upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the
going up to it [had] eight steps.
EZE-40:35 And he brought me to the north gate, and measured [it] according to
these measures;
EZE-40:36 The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches
thereof, and the windows to it round about: the length [was] fifty cubits, and
the breadth five and twenty cubits.
EZE-40:37 And the posts thereof [were] toward the utter court; and palm trees
[were] upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going
up to it [had] eight steps.
EZE-40:38 And the chambers and the entries thereof [were] by the posts of the
gates, where they washed the burnt offering.
EZE-40:39 And in the porch of the gate [were] two tables on this side, and
two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering and the sin
offering and the trespass offering.
EZE-40:40 And at the side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the north
gate, [were] two tables; and on the other side, which [was] at the porch of
the gate, [were] two tables.
EZE-40:41 Four tables [were] on this side, and four tables on that side, by
the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew [their sacrifices].
EZE-40:42 And the four tables [were] of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of
a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high:
whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt
offering and the sacrifice.
EZE-40:43 And within [were] hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and
upon the tables [was] the flesh of the offering.
EZE-40:44 And without the inner gate [were] the chambers of the singers in
the inner court, which [was] at the side of the north gate; and their prospect
[was] toward the south: one at the side of the east gate [having] the prospect
toward the north.
EZE-40:45 And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect [is] toward the
south, [is] for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.
EZE-40:46 And the chamber whose prospect [is] toward the north [is] for the
priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these [are] the sons of Zadok
among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to minister unto him.
EZE-40:47 So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred
cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar [that was] before the house.
EZE-40:48 And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured [each]
post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and
the breadth of the gate [was] three cubits on this side, and three cubits on
that side.
EZE-40:49 The length of the porch [was] twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven
cubits; and [he brought me] by the steps whereby they went up to it: and
[there were] pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.

EZE-41:1 Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six
cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, [which
was] the breadth of the tabernacle.
EZE-41:2 And the breadth of the door [was] ten cubits: and the sides of the
door [were] five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side:
and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty
cubits.
EZE-41:3 Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits;
and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits.
EZE-41:4 So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth,
twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This [is] the most holy
[place].
EZE-41:5 After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth
of [every] side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.
EZE-41:6 And the side chambers [were] three, one over another, and thirty in
order; and they entered into the wall which [was] of the house for the side
chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the
wall of the house.
EZE-41:7 And [there was] an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to
the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round
about the house: therefore the breadth of the house [was still] upward, and so
increased [from] the lowest [chamber] to the highest by the midst.
EZE-41:8 I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of
the side chambers [were] a full reed of six great cubits.
EZE-41:9 The thickness of the wall, which [was] for the side chamber without,
[was] five cubits: and [that] which [was] left [was] the place of the side
chambers that [were] within.
EZE-41:10 And between the chambers [was] the wideness of twenty cubits round
about the house on every side.
EZE-41:11 And the doors of the side chambers [were] toward [the place that
was] left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and
the breadth of the place that was left [was] five cubits round about.
EZE-41:12 Now the building that [was] before the separate place at the end
toward the west [was] seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building [was]
five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits.
EZE-41:13 So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate
place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long;
EZE-41:14 Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate
place toward the east, an hundred cubits.
EZE-41:15 And he measured the length of the building over against the
separate place which [was] behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one
side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the
porches of the court;
EZE-41:16 The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round
about on their three stories, over against the door, ceiled with wood round
about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows [were] covered;
EZE-41:17 To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and
by all the wall round about within and without, by measure.
EZE-41:18 And [it was] made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm
tree [was] between a cherub and a cherub; and [every] cherub had two faces;
EZE-41:19 So that the face of a man [was] toward the palm tree on the one
side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: [it
was] made through all the house round about.
EZE-41:20 From the ground unto above the door [were] cherubims and palm trees
made, and [on] the wall of the temple.
EZE-41:21 The posts of the temple [were] squared, [and] the face of the
sanctuary; the appearance [of the one] as the appearance [of the other].
EZE-41:22 The altar of wood [was] three cubits high, and the length thereof
two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls
thereof, [were] of wood: and he said unto me, This [is] the table that [is]
before the LORD.
EZE-41:23 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
EZE-41:24 And the doors had two leaves [apiece], two turning leaves; two
[leaves] for the one door, and two leaves for the other [door].
EZE-41:25 And [there were] made on them, on the doors of the temple,
cherubims and palm trees, like as [were] made upon the walls; and [there were]
thick planks upon the face of the porch without.
EZE-41:26 And [there were] narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and
on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and [upon] the side chambers of
the house, and thick planks.
EZE-42:1 Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the
north: and he brought me into the chamber that [was] over against the separate
place, and which [was] before the building toward the north.
EZE-42:2 Before the length of an hundred cubits [was] the north door, and the
breadth [was] fifty cubits.
EZE-42:3 Over against the twenty [cubits] which [were] for the inner court,
and over against the pavement which [was] for the utter court, [was] gallery
against gallery in three [stories].
EZE-42:4 And before the chambers [was] a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a
way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.
EZE-42:5 Now the upper chambers [were] shorter: for the galleries were higher
than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building.
EZE-42:6 For they [were] in three [stories], but had not pillars as the
pillars of the courts: therefore [the building] was straitened more than the
lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
EZE-42:7 And the wall that [was] without over against the chambers, toward
the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof [was]
fifty cubits.
EZE-42:8 For the length of the chambers that [were] in the utter court [was]
fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple [were] an hundred cubits.
EZE-42:9 And from under these chambers [was] the entry on the east side, as
one goeth into them from the utter court.
EZE-42:10 The chambers [were] in the thickness of the wall of the court
toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against the
building.
EZE-42:11 And the way before them [was] like the appearance of the chambers
which [were] toward the north, as long as they, [and] as broad as they: and
all their goings out [were] both according to their fashions, and according to
their doors.
EZE-42:12 And according to the doors of the chambers that [were] toward the
south [was] a door in the head of the way, [even] the way directly before the
wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.
EZE-42:13 Then said he unto me, The north chambers [and] the south chambers,
which [are] before the separate place, they [be] holy chambers, where the
priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there
shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, and the sin
offering, and the trespass offering; for the place [is] holy.
EZE-42:14 When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the
holy [place] into the utter court, but there they shall lay their garments
wherein they minister; for they [are] holy; and shall put on other garments,
and shall approach to [those things] which [are] for the people.
EZE-42:15 Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he
brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect [is] toward the east, and
measured it round about.
EZE-42:16 He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred
reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
EZE-42:17 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring
reed round about.
EZE-42:18 He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring
reed.
EZE-42:19 He turned about to the west side, [and] measured five hundred reeds
with the measuring reed.
EZE-42:20 He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five
hundred [reeds] long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the
sanctuary and the profane place.
EZE-43:1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, [even] the gate that looketh
toward the east:
EZE-43:2 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the
east: and his voice [was] like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined
with his glory.
EZE-43:3 And [it was] according to the appearance of the vision which I saw,
[even] according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and
the visions [were] like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell
upon my face.
EZE-43:4 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate
whose prospect [is] toward the east.
EZE-43:5 So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and,
behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
EZE-43:6 And I heard [him] speaking unto me out of the house; and the man
stood by me.
EZE-43:7 And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the
place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children
of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more
defile, [neither] they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the
carcases of their kings in their high places.
EZE-43:8 In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post
by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy
name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed
them in mine anger.
EZE-43:9 Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their
kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
EZE-43:10 Thou son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they
may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.
EZE-43:11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, show them the
form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and
the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances
thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write [it]
in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the
ordinances thereof, and do them.
EZE-43:12 This [is] the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the
whole limit thereof round about [shall be] most holy. Behold, this [is] the
law of the house.
EZE-43:13 And these [are] the measures of the altar after the cubits: The
cubit [is] a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom [shall be] a cubit,
and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round
about [shall be] a span: and this [shall be] the higher place of the altar.
EZE-43:14 And from the bottom [upon] the ground [even] to the lower settle
[shall be] two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle
[even] to the greater settle [shall be] four cubits, and the breadth [one]
cubit.
EZE-43:15 So the altar [shall be] four cubits; and from the altar and upward
[shall be] four horns.
EZE-43:16 And the altar [shall be] twelve [cubits] long, twelve broad, square
in the four squares thereof.
EZE-43:17 And the settle [shall be] fourteen [cubits] long and fourteen broad
in the four squares thereof; and the border about it [shall be] half a cubit;
and the bottom thereof [shall be] a cubit about; and his stairs shall look
toward the east.
EZE-43:18 And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; These
[are] the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer
burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.
EZE-43:19 And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed
of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord GOD, a
young bullock for a sin offering.
EZE-43:20 And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put [it] on the four
horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round
about: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.
EZE-43:21 Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he shall
burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.
EZE-43:22 And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without
blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did
cleanse [it] with the bullock.
EZE-43:23 When thou hast made an end of cleansing [it], thou shalt offer a
young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
EZE-43:24 And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall
cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up [for] a burnt offering unto
the LORD.
EZE-43:25 Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat [for] a sin
offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock,
without blemish.
EZE-43:26 Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall
consecrate themselves.
EZE-43:27 And when these days are expired, it shall be, [that] upon the
eighth day, and [so] forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon
the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord
GOD.
EZE-44:1 Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary
which looketh toward the east; and it [was] shut.
EZE-44:2 Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be
opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel,
hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
EZE-44:3 [It is] for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread
before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of [that] gate, and
shall go out by the way of the same.
EZE-44:4 Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I
looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I
fell upon my face.
EZE-44:5 And the LORD said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with
thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all
the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all the laws thereof; and mark
well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary.
EZE-44:6 And thou shalt say to the rebellious, [even] to the house of Israel,
Thus saith the Lord GOD; O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your
abominations,
EZE-44:7 In that ye have brought [into my sanctuary] strangers, uncircumcised
in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it,
[even] my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have
broken my covenant because of all your abominations.
EZE-44:8 And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set
keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
EZE-44:9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor
uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that
[is] among the children of Israel.
EZE-44:10 And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went
astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear
their iniquity.
EZE-44:11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, [having] charge at the
gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt
offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to
minister unto them.
EZE-44:12 Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused
the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine
hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity.
EZE-44:13 And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest
unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy [place]:
but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have
committed.
EZE-44:14 But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all
the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
EZE-44:15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the
charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they
shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to
offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:
EZE-44:16 They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my
table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.
EZE-44:17 And it shall come to pass, [that] when they enter in at the gates
of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool
shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court,
and within.
EZE-44:18 They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have
linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird [themselves] with any
thing that causeth sweat.
EZE-44:19 And when they go forth into the utter court, [even] into the utter
court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they
ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other
garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.
EZE-44:20 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to
grow long; they shall only poll their heads.
EZE-44:21 Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner
court.
EZE-44:22 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is
put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a
widow that had a priest before.
EZE-44:23 And they shall teach my people [the difference] between the holy
and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
EZE-44:24 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; [and] they shall
judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my
statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
EZE-44:25 And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for
father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister
that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.
EZE-44:26 And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days.
EZE-44:27 And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner
court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith
the Lord GOD.
EZE-44:28 And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I [am] their
inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I [am] their
possession.
EZE-44:29 They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the
trespass offering: and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.
EZE-44:30 And the first of all the firstfruits of all [things], and every
oblation of all, of every [sort] of your oblations, shall be the priest's: ye
shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the
blessing to rest in thine house.
EZE-44:31 The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or
torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
EZE-45:1 Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye
shall offer an oblation unto the LORD, an holy portion of the land: the length
[shall be] the length of five and twenty thousand [reeds], and the breadth
[shall be] ten thousand. This [shall be] holy in all the borders thereof round
about.
EZE-45:2 Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred [in length],
with five hundred [in breadth], square round about; and fifty cubits round
about for the suburbs thereof.
EZE-45:3 And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty
thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary
[and] the most holy [place].
EZE-45:4 The holy [portion] of the land shall be for the priests the
ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister unto the LORD:
and it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for the sanctuary.

EZE-45:5 And the five and twenty thousand of length, and the ten thousand of
breadth, shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house, have for
themselves, for a possession for twenty chambers.
EZE-45:6 And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad,
and five and twenty thousand long, over against the oblation of the holy
[portion]: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.
EZE-45:7 And a [portion shall be] for the prince on the one side and on the
other side of the oblation of the holy [portion], and of the possession of the
city, before the oblation of the holy [portion], and before the possession of
the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward: and
the length [shall be] over against one of the portions, from the west border
unto the east border.
EZE-45:8 In the land shall be his possession in Israel: and my princes shall
no more oppress my people; and [the rest of] the land shall they give to the
house of Israel according to their tribes.
EZE-45:9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel:
remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your
exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-45:10 Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.
EZE-45:11 The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may
contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah the tenth part of an homer:
the measure thereof shall be after the homer.
EZE-45:12 And the shekel [shall be] twenty gerahs: twenty shekels, five and
twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh.
EZE-45:13 This [is] the oblation that ye shall offer; the sixth part of an
ephah of an homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah of an
homer of barley:
EZE-45:14 Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, [ye shall offer]
the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, [which is] an homer of ten baths; for
ten baths [are] an homer:
EZE-45:15 And one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the fat
pastures of Israel; for a meat offering, and for a burnt offering, and for
peace offerings, to make reconciliation for them, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-45:16 All the people of the land shall give this oblation for the prince
in Israel.
EZE-45:17 And it shall be the prince's part [to give] burnt offerings, and
meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and
in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare
the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace
offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel.
EZE-45:18 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the first [month], in the first [day]
of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish, and cleanse the
sanctuary:
EZE-45:19 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put
[it] upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of
the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.
EZE-45:20 And so thou shalt do the seventh [day] of the month for every one
that erreth, and for [him that is] simple: so shall ye reconcile the house.
EZE-45:21 In the first [month], in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall
have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.
EZE-45:22 And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all
the people of the land a bullock [for] a sin offering.
EZE-45:23 And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to
the LORD, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days;
and a kid of the goats daily [for] a sin offering.
EZE-45:24 And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bullock, and
an ephah for a ram, and an hin of oil for an ephah.
EZE-45:25 In the seventh [month], in the fifteenth day of the month, shall he
do the like in the feast of the seven days, according to the sin offering,
according to the burnt offering, and according to the meat offering, and
according to the oil.
EZE-46:1 Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh
toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it
shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
EZE-46:2 And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of [that] gate
without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall
prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at
the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be
shut until the evening.
EZE-46:3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this
gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.
EZE-46:4 And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto the LORD in
the sabbath day [shall be] six lambs without blemish, and a ram without
blemish.
EZE-46:5 And the meat offering [shall be] an ephah for a ram, and the meat
offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give, and an hin of oil to an
ephah.
EZE-46:6 And in the day of the new moon [it shall be] a young bullock without
blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without blemish.
EZE-46:7 And he shall prepare a meat offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an
ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall attain unto,
and an hin of oil to an ephah.
EZE-46:8 And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the
porch of [that] gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof.
EZE-46:9 But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the
solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship
shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of
the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not
return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth over
against it.
EZE-46:10 And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in;
and when they go forth, shall go forth.
EZE-46:11 And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meat offering shall be
an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able
to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
EZE-46:12 Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or
peace offerings voluntarily unto the LORD, [one] shall then open him the gate
that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his
peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and
after his going forth [one] shall shut the gate.
EZE-46:13 Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the LORD [of] a lamb
of the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning.
EZE-46:14 And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning, the
sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to temper with
the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a perpetual ordinance unto the
LORD.
EZE-46:15 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat offering, and the
oil, every morning [for] a continual burnt offering.
EZE-46:16 Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift unto any of his
sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons'; it [shall be] their
possession by inheritance.
EZE-46:17 But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants,
then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall return to the
prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons' for them.
EZE-46:18 Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by
oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; [but] he shall give his
sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered
every man from his possession.
EZE-46:19 After he brought me through the entry, which [was] at the side of
the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward the
north: and, behold, there [was] a place on the two sides westward.
EZE-46:20 Then said he unto me, This [is] the place where the priests shall
boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake the
meat offering; that they bear [them] not out into the utter court, to sanctify
the people.
EZE-46:21 Then he brought me forth into the utter court, and caused me to
pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the
court [there was] a court.
EZE-46:22 In the four corners of the court [there were] courts joined of
forty [cubits] long and thirty broad: these four corners [were] of one
measure.
EZE-46:23 And [there was] a row [of building] round about in them, round
about them four, and [it was] made with boiling places under the rows round
about.
EZE-46:24 Then said he unto me, These [are] the places of them that boil,
where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
EZE-47:1 Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and,
behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for
the forefront of the house [stood toward] the east, and the waters came down
from under from the right side of the house, at the south [side] of the altar.

EZE-47:2 Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me
about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward;
and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
EZE-47:3 And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward,
he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the
waters [were] to the ankles.
EZE-47:4 Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the
waters [were] to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me
through; the waters [were] to the loins.
EZE-47:5 Afterward he measured a thousand; [and it was] a river that I could
not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that
could not be passed over.
EZE-47:6 And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen [this]? Then he
brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
EZE-47:7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river [were]
very many trees on the one side and on the other.
EZE-47:8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east
country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: [which being]
brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
EZE-47:9 And it shall come to pass, [that] every thing that liveth, which
moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a
very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for
they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.
EZE-47:10 And it shall come to pass, [that] the fishers shall stand upon it
from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a [place] to spread forth nets;
their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea,
exceeding many.
EZE-47:11 But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be
healed; they shall be given to salt.
EZE-47:12 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that
side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall
the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his
months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit
thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
EZE-47:13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This [shall be] the border, whereby ye
shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph [shall
have two] portions.
EZE-47:14 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: [concerning] the
which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall
fall unto you for inheritance.
EZE-47:15 And this [shall be] the border of the land toward the north side,
from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;
EZE-47:16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which [is] between the border of
Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which [is] by the coast of
Hauran.
EZE-47:17 And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border of
Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And [this is] the
north side.
EZE-47:18 And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus,
and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel [by] Jordan, from the border unto
the east sea. And [this is] the east side.
EZE-47:19 And the south side southward, from Tamar [even] to the waters of
strife [in] Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And [this is] the south side
southward.
EZE-47:20 The west side also [shall be] the great sea from the border, till a
man come over against Hamath. This [is] the west side.
EZE-47:21 So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of
Israel.
EZE-47:22 And it shall come to pass, [that] ye shall divide it by lot for an
inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall
beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country
among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the
tribes of Israel.
EZE-47:23 And it shall come to pass, [that] in what tribe the stranger
sojourneth, there shall ye give [him] his inheritance, saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-48:1 Now these [are] the names of the tribes. From the north end to the
coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazarenan, the border of
Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his sides east [and]
west; a [portion for] Dan.
EZE-48:2 And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, a
[portion for] Asher.
EZE-48:3 And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west
side, a [portion for] Naphtali.
EZE-48:4 And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west
side, a [portion for] Manasseh.
EZE-48:5 And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west
side, a [portion for] Ephraim.
EZE-48:6 And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west
side, a [portion for] Reuben.
EZE-48:7 And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side,
a [portion for] Judah.
EZE-48:8 And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side,
shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand [reeds
in] breadth, and [in] length as one of the [other] parts, from the east side
unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.
EZE-48:9 The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD [shall be] of five
and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth.
EZE-48:10 And for them, [even] for the priests, shall be [this] holy
oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand [in length], and toward
the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth,
and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of
the LORD shall be in the midst thereof.
EZE-48:11 [It shall be] for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of
Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of
Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
EZE-48:12 And [this] oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them
a thing most holy by the border of the Levites.
EZE-48:13 And over against the border of the priests the Levites [shall have]
five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the
length [shall be] five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.
EZE-48:14 And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the
firstfruits of the land: for [it is] holy unto the LORD.
EZE-48:15 And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over against
the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane [place] for the city, for
dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof.
EZE-48:16 And these [shall be] the measures thereof; the north side four
thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred,
and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four
thousand and five hundred.
EZE-48:17 And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two hundred
and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two
hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty.
EZE-48:18 And the residue in length over against the oblation of the holy
[portion shall be] ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it
shall be over against the oblation of the holy [portion]; and the increase
thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city.
EZE-48:19 And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes
of Israel.
EZE-48:20 All the oblation [shall be] five and twenty thousand by five and
twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with the
possession of the city.
EZE-48:21 And the residue [shall be] for the prince, on the one side and on
the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city, over
against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border,
and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward the west border,
over against the portions for the prince: and it shall be the holy oblation;
and the sanctuary of the house [shall be] in the midst thereof.
EZE-48:22 Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the
possession of the city, [being] in the midst [of that] which is the prince's,
between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the
prince.
EZE-48:23 As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west
side, Benjamin [shall have] a [portion].
EZE-48:24 And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west
side, Simeon [shall have] a [portion].
EZE-48:25 And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side,
Issachar a [portion].
EZE-48:26 And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west
side, Zebulun a [portion].
