The Vision of Four Figures

Now it came 1961 about in the thirtieth 7970 year 8141, on the fifth 2568 {day} of the fourth 7243 month 2320, while I was by the river 5104 Chebar 3529 among 8432 the exiles 1473, the heavens 8064 were opened 6605 and I saw 7200 visions 4759 of God 430.
2 (On the fifth 2568 of the month 2320 in the fifth 2549 year 8141 of King 4428 Jehoiachin's 3078 exile 1546,
3 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 expressly 1961 to Ezekiel 3168 the priest 3548, son 1121 of Buzi 941, in the land 776 of the Chaldeans 3778 by the river 5104 Chebar 3529; and there 8033 the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 upon him.)
4 ¶ As I looked 7200, behold 2009, a storm 5591 wind 7307 was coming 935 from the north 6828, a great 1419 cloud 6051 with fire 784 flashing 3947 forth 3947 continually and a bright 5051 light 5051 around 5439 it, and in its midst 8432 something like glowing 2830 metal 2830 in the midst 8432 of the fire 784.
5 Within 8432 it there were figures 1823 resembling 1823 four 702 living 2421 beings 2421. And this 2088 was their appearance 4758: they had human 120 form 1823.
6 Each 259 of them had four 702 faces 6440 and four 702 wings 3671.
7 Their legs 7272 were straight 3477 and their feet 7272 were like a calf's 5695 hoof, and they gleamed 5340 like burnished 7044 bronze 5178.
8 Under 8478 their wings 3671 on their four 702 sides 7253 {were} human 120 hands 3027. As for the faces 6440 and wings 3671 of the four 702 of them,
9 their wings 3671 touched 2266 one 802 another 269; {their faces} did not turn 5437 when they moved 1980, each 376 went 1980 straight forward 6440.
10 As for the form 1823 of their faces 6440, {each} had the face 6440 of a man 120; all four 702 had the face 6440 of a lion 743 on the right 3225 and the face 6440 of a bull 7794 on the left 8040, and all four 702 had the face 6440 of an eagle 5404.
11 Such were their faces 6440. Their wings 3671 were spread 6504 out above; each 376 had two 8147 touching 2266 another 376 {being,} and two 8147 covering 3680 their bodies 1472.
12 And each 376 went 1980 straight forward 6440; wherever the spirit 7307 was about to go 1980, they would go 1980, without 3808 turning 5437 as they went 1980.
13 In the midst of the living 2421 beings 2421 there was something that looked 4758 like burning 1197 coals 1513 of fire 784, like 4758 torches 3940 darting 1980 back 1980 and forth among 996 the living 2421 beings 2421. The fire 784 was bright 5051, and lightning 1300 was flashing 3318 from the fire 784.
14 And the living 2421 beings 2421 ran 7519 to and fro 7725 like 4758 bolts 965 of lightning 965.
15 ¶ Now as I looked 7200 at the living 2421 beings 2421, behold 2009, there was one 259 wheel 212 on the earth 776 beside 681 the living 2421 beings 2421, for {each of} the four 702 of them.
16 The appearance 4758 of the wheels 212 and their workmanship 4639 {was} like sparkling 5869 beryl 8658, and all four 702 of them had the same 259 form 1823, their appearance 4758 and workmanship 4639 {being} as if 3512 one wheel 212 were within 8432 another 212.
17 Whenever they moved 1980, they moved 1980 in any 702 of their four 702 directions 7253 without 3808 turning 5437 as they moved 1980.
18 As for their rims 1354 they were lofty 1363 and awesome 3374, and the rims 1354 of all four 702 of them were full 4392 of eyes 5869 round 5439 about 5439.
19 Whenever the living 2421 beings 2421 moved 1980, the wheels 212 moved 1980 with them. And whenever the living 2421 beings 2421 rose 5375 from the earth 776, the wheels 212 rose 5375 {also.}
20 Wherever the spirit 7307 was about to go 1980, they would go 1980 in that direction 8033. And the wheels 212 rose 5375 close 5980 beside 5980 them; for the spirit 7307 of the living 2421 beings 2421 {was} in the wheels 212.
21 Whenever those went 1980, these went 1980; and whenever those stood 5975 still 5975, these stood 5975 still 5975. And whenever those rose 5375 from the earth 776, the wheels 212 rose 5375 close 5980 beside 5980 them; for the spirit 7307 of the living 2421 beings 2421 {was} in the wheels 212.

Vision of Divine Glory

¶ Now over 5921 the heads 7218 of the living 2421 beings 2421 {there was} something like 1823 an expanse 7549, like the awesome 3372 gleam 5869 of crystal 7140, spread 5186 out over their heads 7218.
23 Under 8478 the expanse 7549 their wings 3671 {were stretched out} straight 3477, one 802 toward 413 the other 269; each 376 one 376 also had two 8147 wings covering 3680 its body 1472 on the one 376 side 1992 and on the other 2008.
24 I also heard 8085 the sound 6963 of their wings 3671 like the sound 6963 of abundant 7227 waters 4325 as they went 1980, like the voice 6963 of the Almighty 7706, a sound 6963 of tumult 1999 like the sound 6963 of an army 4264 camp 4264; whenever they stood 5975 still 5975, they dropped 7503 their wings 3671.
25 And there came 1961 a voice 6963 from above 5921 the expanse 7549 that was over 5921 their heads 7218; whenever they stood 5975 still 5975, they dropped 7503 their wings 3671.
26 ¶ Now above the expanse 7549 that was over 5921 their heads 7218 there was something 1823 resembling 1823 a throne 3678, like lapis lazuli in appearance 4758; and on that which 1823 resembled 1823 a throne 3678, high up, {was} a figure 1823 with the appearance 4758 of a man 120.
27 Then I noticed 7200 from the appearance 4758 of His loins 4975 and upward 4605 something 4758 like glowing 2830 metal 2830 that looked 4758 like fire 784 all 5439 around 5439 within 1004 it, and from the appearance 4758 of His loins 4975 and downward 4295 I saw 7200 something 4758 like fire 784; and {there was} a radiance 5051 around 5439 Him.
28 As the appearance 4758 of the rainbow 7198 in the clouds 6051 on a rainy 1653 day 3117, so 3651 {was} the appearance 4758 of the surrounding 5439 radiance 5051. Such 1931 {was} the appearance 4758 of the likeness 1823 of the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068. And when I saw 7200 {it,} I fell 5307 on my face 6440 and heard 8085 a voice 6963 speaking 1696.

The Prophet's Call

Then He said 559 to me, "Son 1121 of man 120, stand 5975 on your feet 7272 that I may speak 1696 with you!"
2 As He spoke 1696 to me the Spirit 7307 entered 935 me and set 5975 me on my feet 7272; and I heard 8085 {Him} speaking 1696 to me.
3 Then He said 559 to me, "Son 1121 of man 120, I am sending 7971 you to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, to a rebellious 4775 people 1471 who 834 have rebelled 4775 against Me; they and their fathers 1 have transgressed 6586 against Me to this 2088 very 6106 day 3117.
4 "I am sending 7971 you to them who are stubborn and obstinate children 1121, and you shall say 559 to them, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.'
5 "As for them, whether 518 they listen 8085 or 518 not--for they are a rebellious 4805 house 1004--they will know 3045 that a prophet 5030 has been 1961 among 8432 them.
6 "And you, son 1121 of man 120, neither 408 fear 3372 them nor 408 fear 3372 their words 1697, though 3588 thistles 5621 and thorns 5544 are with you and you sit 3427 on scorpions 6137; neither 408 fear 3372 their words 1697 nor 408 be dismayed 2865 at their presence 6440, for they are a rebellious 4805 house 1004.
7 "But you shall speak 1696 My words 1697 to them whether 518 they listen 8085 or 518 not, for they are rebellious 4805.
8 ¶ "Now you, son 1121 of man 120, listen 8085 to what 834 I am speaking 1696 to you; do not be rebellious 4805 like that rebellious 4805 house 1004. Open 6475 your mouth 6310 and eat 398 what 834 I am giving 5414 you."
9 Then I looked 7200, and behold 2009, a hand 3027 was extended 7971 to me; and lo 2009, a scroll {was} in it.
10 When He spread 6566 it out before 6440 me, it was written 3789 on the front 6440 and back 268, and written 3789 on it were lamentations 7015, mourning 1899 and woe 1958.

Ezekiel's Commission

Then He said 559 to me, "Son 1121 of man 120, eat 398 what 834 you find 4672; eat 398 this 384 scroll 4039, and go 1980, speak 1696 to the house 1004 of Israel 3478."
2 So I opened 6605 my mouth 6310, and He fed 398 me this 384 scroll 4039.
3 He said 559 to me, "Son 1121 of man 120, feed 398 your stomach 990 and fill 4390 your body 4578 with this 384 scroll 4039 which 834 I am giving 5414 you." Then I ate 398 it, and it was sweet 4966 as honey 1706 in my mouth 6310.
4 ¶ Then He said 559 to me, "Son 1121 of man 120, go to the house 1004 of Israel 3478 and speak 1696 with My words 1697 to them.
5 "For you are not being sent 7971 to a people 5971 of unintelligible 6012 speech 8193 or difficult 3515 language 3956, {but} to the house 1004 of Israel 3478,
6 nor 3808 to many 7227 peoples 5971 of unintelligible 6012 speech 8193 or difficult 3515 language 3956, whose 834 words 1697 you cannot 3808 understand 8085. But I have sent 7971 you to them who should listen 8085 to you;
7 yet the house 1004 of Israel 3478 will not be willing 14 to listen 8085 to you, since 3588 they are not willing 14 to listen 8085 to Me. Surely 3588 the whole 3605 house 1004 of Israel 3478 is stubborn and obstinate.
8 "Behold 2009, I have made 5414 your face 6440 as hard 2389 as their faces 6440 and your forehead 4696 as hard 2389 as their foreheads 4696.
9 "Like emery 8068 harder 2389 than 4480 flint 6864 I have made 5414 your forehead 4696. Do not be afraid 3372 of them or be dismayed 2865 before them, though 3588 they are a rebellious 4805 house 1004."
10 Moreover, He said 559 to me, "Son 1121 of man 120, take 3947 into your heart 3824 all 3605 My words 1697 which 834 I will speak 1696 to you and listen 8085 closely 241.
11 "Go 1980 to the exiles 1473, to the sons 1121 of your people 5971, and speak 1696 to them and tell 559 them, whether 518 they listen 8085 or 518 not, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.'"
12 ¶ Then the Spirit 7307 lifted 5375 me up, and I heard 8085 a great 1419 rumbling 7494 sound 6963 behind 310 me, "Blessed 1288 be the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 in His place 4725."
13 And I {heard} the sound 6963 of the wings 3671 of the living 2421 beings 2421 touching 5401 one 802 another 269 and the sound 6963 of the wheels 212 beside 5980 them, even a great 1419 rumbling 7494 sound 6963.
14 So the Spirit 7307 lifted 5375 me up and took 3947 me away; and I went 1980 embittered 4751 in the rage 2534 of my spirit 7307, and the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 was strong 2389 on me.
15 Then I came 935 to the exiles 1473 who lived 3427 beside 413 the river 5104 Chebar 3529 at Tel-abib 8512, and I sat 3427 there 8033 seven 7651 days 3117 where 8033 they were living 3427, causing 8074 consternation 8074 among 8432 them.
16 ¶ At the end 7097 of seven 7651 days 3117 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me, saying 559,
17 "Son 1121 of man 120, I have appointed 5414 you a watchman 6822 to the house 1004 of Israel 3478; whenever you hear 8085 a word 1697 from My mouth 6310, warn 2094 them from Me.
18 "When I say 559 to the wicked 7563, 'You will surely 4191 die 4191,' and you do not warn 2094 him or speak 1696 out to warn 2094 the wicked 7563 from his wicked 7563 way 1870 that he may live 2421, that wicked 7563 man 7563 shall die 4191 in his iniquity 5771, but his blood 1818 I will require 1245 at your hand 3027.
19 "Yet if 3588 you have warned 2094 the wicked 7563 and he does not turn 7725 from his wickedness 7562 or from his wicked 7563 way 1870, he shall die 4191 in his iniquity 5771; but you have delivered 5337 yourself 5315.
20 "Again, when a righteous 6662 man 6662 turns 7725 away 7725 from his righteousness 6664 and commits 6213 iniquity 5766, and I place 5414 an obstacle 4383 before 6440 him, he will die 4191; since 3588 you have not warned 2094 him, he shall die 4191 in his sin 2403, and his righteous 6666 deeds 6666 which 834 he has done 6213 shall not be remembered 2142; but his blood 1818 I will require 1245 at your hand 3027.
21 "However, if 3588 you have warned 2094 the righteous 6662 man 6662 that the righteous 6662 should not sin 2398 and he does not sin 2398, he shall surely 2421 live 2421 because 3588 he took 2094 warning 2094; and you have delivered 5337 yourself 5315."
22 ¶ The hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 was on me there 8033, and He said 559 to me, "Get 6965 up, go 3318 out to the plain 1237, and there 8033 I will speak 1696 to you."
23 So I got 6965 up and went 3318 out to the plain 1237; and behold 2009, the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 was standing 5975 there 8033, like the glory 3519 which 834 I saw 7200 by the river 5104 Chebar 3529, and I fell 5307 on my face 6440.
24 The Spirit 7307 then entered 935 me and made me stand 5975 on my feet 7272, and He spoke 1696 with me and said 559 to me, "Go 935, shut 5462 yourself up in your house 1004.
25 "As for you, son 1121 of man 120, they will put 5414 ropes 5688 on you and bind 631 you with them so that you cannot 3808 go 3318 out among 8432 them.
26 "Moreover, I will make your tongue 3956 stick 1692 to the roof 2441 of your mouth 2441 so that you will be mute 481 and cannot 3808 be a man 376 who rebukes 3198 them, for they are a rebellious 4805 house 1004.
27 "But when I speak 1696 to you, I will open 6605 your mouth 6310 and you will say 559 to them, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.' He who hears 8085, let him hear 8085; and he who refuses 2310, let him refuse 2308; for they are a rebellious 4805 house 1004.

Siege of Jerusalem Predicted

"Now you son 1121 of man 120, get 3947 yourself a brick 3843, place 5414 it before 6440 you and inscribe 2710 a city 5892 on it, Jerusalem 3389.
2 "Then lay 5414 siege 4692 against 5921 it, build 1129 a siege 1785 wall 1785, raise 8210 up a ramp 5550, pitch 5414 camps 4264 and place 7760 battering 3733 rams 3733 against 5921 it all 5439 around 5439.
3 "Then get 3947 yourself an iron 1270 plate 4227 and set 3559 it up as an iron 1270 wall 7023 between 996 you and the city 5892, and set 3559 your face 6440 toward 413 it so that it is under siege 4692, and besiege it. This 1931 is a sign 226 to the house 1004 of Israel 3478.
4 ¶ "As for you, lie 7901 down 7901 on your left 8042 side 6654 and lay 7760 the iniquity 5771 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478 on it; you shall bear 5375 their iniquity 5771 for the number 4557 of days 3117 that you lie 7901 on it.
5 "For I have assigned 5414 you a number 4557 of days 3117 corresponding to the years 8141 of their iniquity 5771, three 7969 hundred 3967 and ninety 8673 days 3117; thus you shall bear 5375 the iniquity 5771 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478.
6 "When you have completed 3615 these 428, you shall lie 7901 down 7901 a second 8145 time 8145, {but} on your right 3233 side 6654 and bear 5375 the iniquity 5771 of the house 1004 of Judah 3063; I have assigned 5414 it to you for forty 705 days 3117, a day 3117 for each year 8141.
7 "Then you shall set 3559 your face 6440 toward 413 the siege 4692 of Jerusalem 3389 with your arm 2220 bared 2834 and prophesy 5012 against 5921 it.
8 "Now behold 2009, I will put 5414 ropes 5688 on you so that you cannot 3808 turn 2015 from one side 6654 to the other 6654 until 5704 you have completed 3615 the days 3117 of your siege 4692.

Defiled Bread

¶ "But as for you, take 3947 wheat 2406, barley 8184, beans 6321, lentils 5742, millet 1764 and spelt 3698, put 5414 them in one 259 vessel 3627 and make 6213 them into bread 3899 for yourself; you shall eat 398 it according to the number 4557 of the days 3117 that you lie 7901 on your side 6654, three 7969 hundred 3967 and ninety 8673 days 3117.
10 "Your food 3978 which 834 you eat 398 {shall be} twenty 6242 shekels 8255 a day 3117 by weight 4946; you shall eat 398 it from time 6256 to time 6256.
11 "The water 4325 you drink 8354 shall be the sixth 8345 part 8345 of a hin 1969 by measure 4884; you shall drink 8354 it from time 6256 to time 6256.
12 "You shall eat 398 it as a barley 8184 cake 5692, having baked 5746 {it} in their sight 5869 over human 120 dung."
13 Then the LORD 3068 said 559, "Thus 3602 will the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 eat 398 their bread 3899 unclean 2931 among the nations 1471 where I will banish 5080 them."
14 But I said 559, "Ah 162, Lord 136 GOD 3068! Behold 2009, I have never 3808 been 2930 defiled 2930; for from my youth 5271 until 5704 now 6258 I have never 3808 eaten 398 what 5038 died 5038 of itself or was torn 2966 by beasts 2966, nor 3808 has any unclean 6292 meat 1320 ever entered 935 my mouth 6310."
15 Then He said 559 to me, "See 7200, I will give 5414 you cow's 1241 dung 6832 in place 8478 of human 120 dung 1561 over 5921 which you will prepare 6213 your bread 3899."
16 Moreover, He said 559 to me, "Son 1121 of man 120, behold 2009, I am going to break 7665 the staff 4294 of bread 3899 in Jerusalem 3389, and they will eat 398 bread 3899 by weight 4948 and with anxiety 1674, and drink 8354 water 4325 by measure 4884 and in horror 8078,
17 because 4616 bread 3899 and water 4325 will be scarce 2637; and they will be appalled 8074 with one 376 another 251 and waste 4743 away 4743 in their iniquity 5771.

Jerusalem's Desolation Foretold

"As for you, son 1121 of man 120, take 3947 a sharp 2299 sword 2719; take 3947 and use 5674 it {as} a barber's 1532 razor 8593 on your head 7218 and beard 2206. Then take 3947 scales 3976 for weighing 4948 and divide 2505 the hair.
2 "One 7992 third 7992 you shall burn 1197 in the fire 217 at the center 8432 of the city 5892, when the days 3117 of the siege 4692 are completed 4390. Then you shall take 3947 one 7992 third 7992 and strike 5221 {it} with the sword 2719 all 5439 around 5439 the city, and one 7992 third 7992 you shall scatter 2219 to the wind 7307; and I will unsheathe 7385 a sword 2719 behind 310 them.
3 "Take 3947 also a few 4592 in number 4557 from them and bind 6696 them in the edges 3671 of your {robes.}
4 "Take 3947 again 5750 some 4480 of them and throw 7993 them into the fire 784 and burn 8313 them in the fire 784; from it a fire 784 will spread 3318 to all 3605 the house 1004 of Israel 3478.
5 ¶ "Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'This 384 is Jerusalem 3389; I have set 7760 her at the center 8432 of the nations 1471, with lands 776 around 5439 her.
6 'But she has rebelled 4784 against 854 My ordinances 4941 more 4480 wickedly 7564 than 4480 the nations 1471 and against 854 My statutes 2708 more 4480 than 4480 the lands 776 which 834 surround 5439 her; for they have rejected 3988 My ordinances 4941 and have not walked 1980 in My statutes 2708.'
7 "Therefore 3651, thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'Because 3282 you have more 4480 turmoil 2001 than 4480 the nations 1471 which 834 surround 5439 you {and} have not walked 1980 in My statutes 2708, nor 3808 observed 6213 My ordinances 4941, nor 3808 observed 6213 the ordinances 4941 of the nations 1471 which 834 surround 5439 you,'
8 therefore 3651, thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'Behold 2009, I, even 1571 I, am against 5921 you, and I will execute 6213 judgments 4941 among 8432 you in the sight 5869 of the nations 1471.
9 'And because 3282 of all 3605 your abominations 8441, I will do 6213 among you what 834 I have not done 6213, and the like 3644 of which 834 I will never 3808 do 6213 again 5750.
10 'Therefore 3651, fathers 1 will eat 398 {their} sons 1121 among 8432 you, and sons 1121 will eat 398 their fathers 1; for I will execute 6213 judgments 8201 on you and scatter 2219 all 3605 your remnant 7611 to every 3605 wind 7307.
11 'So 3651 as I live 2416,' declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'surely, because 3282 you have defiled 2930 My sanctuary 4720 with all 3605 your detestable 8251 idols 8251 and with all 3605 your abominations 8441, therefore I will also 1571 withdraw 1639, and My eye 5869 will have 2347 no 3808 pity 2347 and I will not spare 2550.
12 'One 7992 third 7992 of you will die 4191 by plague 1698 or be consumed 3615 by famine 7458 among 8432 you, one 7992 third 7992 will fall 5307 by the sword 2719 around 5439 you, and one 7992 third 7992 I will scatter 2219 to every 3605 wind 7307, and I will unsheathe 7385 a sword 2719 behind 310 them.
13 ¶ 'Thus My anger 639 will be spent 3615 and I will satisfy 5117 My wrath 2534 on them, and I will be appeased 5162; then they will know 3045 that I, the LORD 3068, have spoken 1696 in My zeal 7068 when I have spent 3615 My wrath 2534 upon them.
14 'Moreover, I will make 5414 you a desolation 2723 and a reproach 2781 among the nations 1471 which 834 surround 5439 you, in the sight 5869 of all 3605 who pass 5674 by.
15 'So it will be a reproach 2781, a reviling 1422, a warning 4148 and an object 4923 of horror 4923 to the nations 1471 who 834 surround 5439 you when I execute 6213 judgments 8201 against you in anger 639, wrath 2534 and raging 2534 rebukes 8433. I, the LORD 3068, have spoken 1696.
16 'When I send 7971 against them the deadly 7451 arrows 2671 of famine 7458 which 834 were for the destruction 7843 of those whom 834 I will send 7971 to destroy 7843 you, then I will also intensify 3254 the famine 7458 upon you and break 7665 the staff 4294 of bread 3899.
17 'Moreover, I will send 7971 on you famine 7458 and wild 7451 beasts 2421, and they will bereave 7921 you of children 7921; plague 1698 and bloodshed 1818 also will pass 5674 through you, and I will bring 935 the sword 2719 on you. I, the LORD 3068, have spoken 1696.'"

Idolatrous Worship Denounced

And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
2 "Son 1121 of man 120, set 7760 your face 6440 toward 413 the mountains 2022 of Israel 3478, and prophesy 5012 against 413 them
3 and say 559, 'Mountains 2022 of Israel 3478, listen 8085 to the word 1697 of the Lord 136 GOD 3068! Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 to the mountains 2022, the hills 1389, the ravines 650 and the valleys 1516: "Behold 2009, I Myself 589 am going to bring 935 a sword 2719 on you, and I will destroy 6 your high 1116 places 1116.
4 "So your altars 4196 will become 8074 desolate 8074 and your incense 2553 altars 2553 will be smashed 7665; and I will make your slain 2491 fall 5307 in front 6440 of your idols 1544.
5 "I will also lay 5414 the dead 6297 bodies 6297 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 in front 6440 of their idols 1544; and I will scatter 2219 your bones 6106 around 5439 your altars 4196.
6 "In all 3605 your dwellings 4186, cities 5892 will become 2717 waste 2717 and the high 1116 places 1116 will be desolate 8074, that your altars 4196 may become 2717 waste 2717 and desolate 816, your idols 1544 may be broken 7665 and brought 7673 to an end 7673, your incense 2553 altars 2553 may be cut 1438 down 1438, and your works 4639 may be blotted 4229 out.
7 "The slain 2491 will fall 5307 among 8432 you, and you will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068.
8 ¶ "However, I will leave 3498 a remnant 3498, for you will have 1961 those who 6412 escaped 6412 the sword 2719 among the nations 1471 when you are scattered 2219 among the countries 776.
9 "Then those of you who 6412 escape 6412 will remember 2142 Me among the nations 1471 to which 834 they will be carried 7617 captive 7617, how 834 I have been hurt 7665 by their adulterous 2181 hearts 3820 which 834 turned 5493 away 5493 from Me, and by their eyes 5869 which played 2181 the harlot 2181 after 310 their idols 1544; and they will loathe 6962 themselves in their own sight 6440 for the evils 7463 which 834 they have committed 6213, for all 3605 their abominations 8441.
10 "Then they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068; I have not said 1696 in vain 2600 that I would inflict 6213 this 384 disaster 7463 on them."'
11 ¶ "Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'Clap 5221 your hand 3709, stamp 7554 your foot 7272 and say 559, "Alas 253, because 413 of all 3605 the evil 7451 abominations 8441 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478, which 834 will fall 5307 by sword 2719, famine 7458 and plague 1698!
12 "He who 7350 is far 7350 off 7350 will die 4191 by the plague 1698, and he who 7138 is near 7138 will fall 5307 by the sword 2719, and he who remains 7604 and is besieged 5341 will die 4191 by the famine 7458. Thus will I spend 3615 My wrath 2534 on them.
13 "Then you will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068, when their slain 2491 are among 8432 their idols 1544 around 5439 their altars 4196, on every 3605 high 7311 hill 1389, on all 3605 the tops 7218 of the mountains 2022, under 8478 every 3605 green 7488 tree 6086 and under 8478 every 3605 leafy 5687 oak 424--the places 4725 where they offered 5414 soothing 5207 aroma 7381 to all 3605 their idols 1544.
14 "So throughout all 3605 their habitations 4186 I will stretch 5186 out My hand 3027 against 5921 them and make 5414 the land 776 more 4480 desolate 8077 and waste 4923 than 4480 the wilderness 4057 toward Diblah 1689; thus they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068."'"

Punishment for Wickedness Foretold

Moreover, the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
2 "And you, son 1121 of man 120, thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 to the land 127 of Israel 3478, 'An end 7093! The end 7093 is coming 935 on the four 702 corners 3671 of the land 776.
3 'Now 6258 the end 7093 is upon you, and I will send 7971 My anger 639 against you; I will judge 8199 you according to your ways 1870 and bring 5414 all 3605 your abominations 8441 upon you.
4 'For My eye 5869 will have 2347 no 3808 pity 2347 on you, nor 3808 will I spare 2550 {you,} but I will bring 5414 your ways 1870 upon you, and your abominations 8441 will be among 8432 you; then you will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068!'
5 ¶ "Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'A disaster 7463, unique 259 disaster 7463, behold 2009 it is coming 935!
6 'An end 7093 is coming 935; the end 7093 has come 935! It has awakened 7019 against 413 you; behold 2009, it has come 935!
7 'Your doom 6843 has come 935 to you, O inhabitant 3427 of the land 776. The time 6256 has come 935, the day 3117 is near 7138--tumult 4103 rather 3808 than 3808 joyful 1906 shouting 1906 on the mountains 2022.
8 'Now 6258 I will shortly 7138 pour 8210 out My wrath 2534 on you and spend 3615 My anger 639 against you; judge 8199 you according to your ways 1870 and bring 5414 on you all 3605 your abominations 8441.
9 'My eye 5869 will show 2347 no 3808 pity 2347 nor 3808 will I spare 2550. I will repay 5414 you according to your ways 1870, while your abominations 8441 are in your midst 8432; then you will know 3045 that I, the LORD 3068, do the smiting 5221.
10 ¶ 'Behold 2009, the day 3117! Behold 2009, it is coming 935! {Your} doom 6843 has gone 3318 forth 3318; the rod 4294 has budded 6692, arrogance 2087 has blossomed 6524.
11 'Violence 2555 has grown 6965 into a rod 4294 of wickedness 7562. None 3808 of them {shall remain,} none 3808 of their people 1995, none 3808 of their wealth 1991, nor 3808 anything eminent 5089 among them.
12 'The time 6256 has come 935, the day 3117 has arrived 5060. Let not the buyer 7069 rejoice 8055 nor 408 the seller 4376 mourn 56; for wrath 2740 is against 413 all 3605 their multitude 1995.
13 'Indeed 3588, the seller 4376 will not regain 7725 what 4465 he sold 4465 as long 5750 as they {both} live; for the vision 2377 regarding 413 all 3605 their multitude 1995 will not be averted 7725, nor 3808 will any 376 of them maintain 2388 his life 2421 by his iniquity 5771.
14 ¶ 'They have blown 8628 the trumpet 8619 and made 3559 everything 3605 ready 3559, but no 369 one 369 is going 1980 to the battle 4421, for My wrath 2740 is against 413 all 3605 their multitude 1995.
15 'The sword 2719 is outside 2351 and the plague 1698 and the famine 7458 are within 1004. He who 834 is in the field 7704 will die 4191 by the sword 2719; famine 7458 and the plague 1698 will also consume 398 those in the city 5892.
16 'Even when their survivors 6412 escape 6403, they will be on the mountains 2022 like doves 3123 of the valleys 1516, all 3605 of them mourning 1993, each 376 over his own iniquity 5771.
17 'All 3605 hands 3027 will hang 7503 limp 7503 and all 3605 knees 1290 will become 1980 {like} water 4325.
18 'They will gird 2296 themselves with sackcloth 8242 and shuddering 6427 will overwhelm 3680 them; and shame 955 {will be} on all 3605 faces 6440 and baldness 7144 on all 3605 their heads 7218.
19 'They will fling 7993 their silver 3701 into the streets 2351 and their gold 2091 will become 1961 an abhorrent 5079 thing 5079; their silver 3701 and their gold 2091 will not be able 3201 to deliver 5337 them in the day 3117 of the wrath 5678 of the LORD 3068. They cannot 3808 satisfy 7646 their appetite 5315 nor 3808 can they fill 4390 their stomachs 4578, for their iniquity 5771 has become 1961 an occasion 4383 of stumbling 4383.

The Temple Profaned

'They transformed 7760 the beauty 6643 of His ornaments 5716 into pride 1347, and they made 6213 the images 6754 of their abominations 8441 {and} their detestable 8251 things 8251 with it; therefore I will make 5414 it an abhorrent 5079 thing 5079 to them.
21 'I will give 5414 it into the hands 3027 of the foreigners 2114 as plunder 957 and to the wicked 7563 of the earth 776 as spoil 7998, and they will profane 2490 it.
22 'I will also turn 5437 My face 6440 from them, and they will profane 2490 My secret 6845 place 6845; then robbers 6530 will enter 935 and profane 2490 it.
23 ¶ 'Make 6213 the chain 7569, for the land 776 is full 4390 of bloody 1818 crimes 4941 and the city 5892 is full 4390 of violence 2555.
24 'Therefore, I will bring 935 the worst 7451 of the nations 1471, and they will possess 3423 their houses 1004. I will also make the pride 1347 of the strong 5794 ones 5794 cease 7673, and their holy 6942 places 4720 will be profaned 2490.
25 'When anguish 7089 comes 935, they will seek 1245 peace 7965, but there 369 will be none 369.
26 'Disaster 1943 will come 935 upon disaster 1943 and rumor 8052 will be {added} to rumor 8052; then they will seek 1245 a vision 2377 from a prophet 5030, but the law 8451 will be lost 6 from the priest 3548 and counsel 6098 from the elders 2205.
27 'The king 4428 will mourn 56, the prince 5387 will be clothed 3847 with horror 8077, and the hands 3027 of the people 5971 of the land 776 will tremble 926. According 4480 to their conduct 1870 I will deal 6213 with them, and by their judgments 4941 I will judge 8199 them. And they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068.'"

Vision of Abominations in Jerusalem

It came 1961 about in the sixth 8345 year 8141, on the fifth 2568 {day} of the sixth 8345 month 2320, as I was sitting 3427 in my house 1004 with the elders 2205 of Judah 3063 sitting 3427 before 6440 me, that the hand 3027 of the Lord 136 GOD 3068 fell 5307 on me there 8033.
2 Then I looked 7200, and behold 2009, a likeness 1823 as the appearance 4758 of a man 784; from His loins 4975 and downward 4295 {there was} the appearance 4758 of fire 784, and from His loins 4975 and upward 4605 the appearance 4758 of brightness 2096, like the appearance 5869 of glowing 2830 metal 2830.
3 He stretched 7971 out the form 8403 of a hand 3027 and caught 3947 me by a lock 6734 of my head 7218; and the Spirit 7307 lifted 5375 me up between 996 earth 776 and heaven 8064 and brought 935 me in the visions 4759 of God 430 to Jerusalem 3389, to the entrance 6607 of the north 6828 gate 8179 of the inner 6442 {court,} where the seat 4186 of the idol 5566 of jealousy 7068, which 834 provokes 7065 to jealousy 7065, was {located.}
4 And behold 2009, the glory 3519 of the God 430 of Israel 3478 {was} there 8033, like the appearance 4758 which 834 I saw 7200 in the plain 1237.
5 ¶ Then He said 559 to me, "Son 1121 of man 120, raise 5375 your eyes 5869 now 4994 toward 1870 the north 6828." So I raised 5375 my eyes 5869 toward 1870 the north 6828, and behold 2009, to the north 6828 of the altar 4196 gate 8179 {was} this 2088 idol 5566 of jealousy 7068 at the entrance 872.
6 And He said 559 to me, "Son 1121 of man 120, do 6213 you see 7200 what 4100 they are doing 6213, the great 1419 abominations 8441 which 834 the house 1004 of Israel 3478 are committing 6213 here 6311, so that I would be far 7368 from My sanctuary 4720? But yet 5750 you will see 7200 still 7725 greater 1419 abominations 8441."
7 ¶ Then He brought 935 me to the entrance 6607 of the court 2691, and when I looked 7200, behold 2009, a hole 2356 in the wall 7023.
8 He said 559 to me, "Son 1121 of man 120, now 4994 dig 2864 through the wall 7023." So I dug 2864 through the wall 7023, and behold 2009, an entrance 6607.
9 And He said 559 to me, "Go 935 in and see 7200 the wicked 7451 abominations 8441 that they are committing 6213 here 6311."
10 So I entered 935 and looked 7200, and behold 2009, every 3605 form 8403 of creeping 7431 things 7431 and beasts 929 {and} detestable 8263 things 8263, with all 3605 the idols 1544 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478, were carved 2707 on the wall 7023 all 5439 around 5439.
11 Standing 5975 in front 6440 of them were seventy 7657 elders 2205 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478, with Jaazaniah 2970 the son 1121 of Shaphan 8227 standing 5975 among 8432 them, each 376 man 376 with his censer 4730 in his hand 3027 and the fragrance 6282 of the cloud 6051 of incense 7004 rising 5927.
12 Then He said 559 to me, "Son 1121 of man 120, do you see 7200 what 834 the elders 2205 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478 are committing 6213 in the dark 2822, each 376 man 376 in the room 2315 of his carved 4906 images 4906? For they say 559, 'The LORD 3068 does not see 7200 us; the LORD 3068 has forsaken 5800 the land 776.'"
13 And He said 559 to me, "Yet 5750 you will see 7200 still 7725 greater 1419 abominations 8441 which 834 they are committing 6213."
14 ¶ Then He brought 935 me to the entrance 6607 of the gate 8179 of the LORD'S 3068 house 1004 which 834 {was} toward 413 the north 6828; and behold 2009, women 802 were sitting 3427 there 8033 weeping 1058 for Tammuz 8542.
15 He said 559 to me, "Do you see 7200 {this,} son 1121 of man 120? Yet 5750 you will see 7200 still 7725 greater 1419 abominations 8441 than 4480 these 428."
16 ¶ Then He brought 935 me into the inner 6442 court 2691 of the LORD'S 3068 house 1004. And behold 2009, at the entrance 6607 to the temple 1964 of the LORD 3068, between 996 the porch 197 and the altar 4196, {were} about twenty-five men 376 with their backs 268 to the temple 1964 of the LORD 3068 and their faces 6440 toward the east 6924; and they were prostrating 7812 themselves eastward 6924 toward the sun 8121.
17 He said 559 to me, "Do you see 7200 {this,} son 1121 of man 120? Is it too light 7043 a thing 7043 for the house 1004 of Judah 3063 to commit 6213 the abominations 8441 which 834 they have committed 6213 here 6311, that they have filled 4390 the land 776 with violence 2555 and provoked 3707 Me repeatedly 7725? For behold 2009, they are putting 7971 the twig 2156 to their nose 639.
18 "Therefore, I indeed 1571 will deal 6213 in wrath 2534. My eye 5869 will have 2347 no 3808 pity 2347 nor 3808 will I spare 2550; and though they cry 7121 in My ears 241 with a loud 1419 voice 6963, yet I will not listen 8085 to them."

The Vision of Slaughter

Then He cried 7121 out in my hearing 241 with a loud 1419 voice 6963 saying 559, "Draw 7126 near 7126, O executioners 6486 of the city 5892, each 376 with his destroying 4892 weapon 3627 in his hand 3027."
2 Behold 2009, six 8337 men 376 came 935 from the direction 1870 of the upper 5945 gate 8179 which 834 faces 6437 north 6828, each 376 with his shattering 4660 weapon 3627 in his hand 3027; and among 8432 them was a certain 259 man 376 clothed 3847 in linen 906 with a writing 5613 case 7083 at his loins 4975. And they went 935 in and stood 5975 beside 681 the bronze 5178 altar 4196.
3 ¶ Then the glory 3519 of the God 430 of Israel 3478 went 5927 up from the cherub 3742 on which 834 it had been 1961, to the threshold 4670 of the temple 1004. And He called 7121 to the man 376 clothed 3847 in linen 906 at whose 834 loins 4975 was the writing 5613 case 7083.
4 The LORD 3068 said 559 to him, "Go 5674 through the midst 8432 of the city 5892, {even} through the midst 8432 of Jerusalem 3389, and put 8427 a mark 8420 on the foreheads 4696 of the men 376 who sigh 584 and groan 602 over 5921 all 3605 the abominations 8441 which are being committed 6213 in its midst 8432."
5 But to the others 428 He said 559 in my hearing 241, "Go 5674 through the city 5892 after 310 him and strike 5221; do not let your eye 5869 have 2347 pity 2347 and do not spare 2550.
6 "Utterly 4889 slay 2026 old 2205 men 2205, young 970 men 970, maidens 1330, little 2945 children 2945, and women 802, but do not touch 5066 any 3605 man 376 on whom 834 is the mark 8420; and you shall start 2490 from My sanctuary 4720." So they started 2490 with the elders 2205 who 834 {were} before 6440 the temple 1004.
7 And He said 559 to them, "Defile 2930 the temple 1004 and fill 4390 the courts 2691 with the slain 2491. Go 3318 out!" Thus they went 3318 out and struck 5221 down 5221 {the people} in the city 5892.
8 As they were striking 5221 {the people} and I {alone} was left 7604, I fell 5307 on my face 6440 and cried 2199 out saying 559, "Alas 162, Lord 136 GOD 3068! Are You destroying 7843 the whole 3605 remnant 7611 of Israel 3478 by pouring 8210 out Your wrath 2534 on Jerusalem 3389?"
9 ¶ Then He said 559 to me, "The iniquity 5771 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478 and Judah 3063 is very 3966, very 3966 great 1419, and the land 776 is filled 4390 with blood 1818 and the city 5892 is full 4390 of perversion 4297; for they say 559, 'The LORD 3068 has forsaken 5800 the land 776, and the LORD 3068 does not see 7200!'
10 "But as for Me, My eye 5869 will have 2347 no 3808 pity 2347 nor 3808 will I spare 2550, but I will bring 5414 their conduct 1870 upon their heads 7218."
11 ¶ Then behold 2009, the man 376 clothed 3847 in linen 906 at whose 834 loins 4975 was the writing 7083 case 7083 reported, saying 559, "I have done 6213 just 3512 as You have commanded 6680 me."

Vision of God's Glory Departing from the Temple

Then I looked 7200, and behold 2009, in the expanse 7549 that was over 5921 the heads 7218 of the cherubim 3742 something like a sapphire 5601 stone 68, in appearance 4758 resembling 1823 a throne 3678, appeared 7200 above 5921 them.
2 And He spoke 559 to the man 376 clothed 3847 in linen 906 and said 559, "Enter 935 between 996 the whirling 1534 wheels 1534 under 8478 the cherubim 3742 and fill 4390 your hands 2651 with coals 1513 of fire 784 from between 996 the cherubim 3742 and scatter 2236 {them} over 5921 the city 5892." And he entered 935 in my sight 5869.
3 ¶ Now the cherubim 3742 were standing 5975 on the right 3225 side 3225 of the temple 1004 when the man 376 entered 935, and the cloud 6051 filled 4390 the inner 6442 court 2691.
4 Then the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 went 7311 up from the cherub 3742 to the threshold 4670 of the temple 1004, and the temple 1004 was filled 4390 with the cloud 6051 and the court 2691 was filled 4390 with the brightness 5051 of the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068.
5 Moreover, the sound 6963 of the wings 3671 of the cherubim 3742 was heard 8085 as far 5704 as the outer 2435 court 2691, like the voice 6963 of God 410 Almighty 7706 when He speaks 1696.
6 ¶ It came 1961 about when He commanded 6680 the man 376 clothed 3847 in linen 906, saying 559, "Take 3947 fire 784 from between 996 the whirling 1534 wheels 1534, from between 996 the cherubim 3742," he entered 935 and stood 5975 beside 681 a wheel 212.
7 Then the cherub 3742 stretched 7971 out his hand 3027 from between 996 the cherubim 3742 to the fire 784 which 834 was between 996 the cherubim 3742, took 5375 {some} and put 5414 {it} into the hands 2651 of the one clothed 3847 in linen 906, who took 3947 {it} and went 3318 out.
8 The cherubim 3742 appeared 7200 to have the form 8403 of a man's 120 hand 3027 under 8478 their wings 3671.
9 ¶ Then I looked 7200, and behold 2009, four 702 wheels 212 beside 681 the cherubim 3742, one 259 wheel 212 beside 681 each 259 cherub 3742; and the appearance 4758 of the wheels 212 {was} like the gleam 5869 of a Tarshish 8659 stone 68.
10 As for their appearance 4758, all four 702 of them had the same 259 likeness 1823, as if 834 one wheel 212 were within 8432 another wheel 212.
11 When they moved 1980, they went 1980 in {any of} their four 702 directions 7253 without 3808 turning 5437 as they went 1980; but they followed in the direction 4725 which 834 they faced, without 3808 turning 5437 as they went 1980.
12 Their whole 3605 body 1320, their backs 1354, their hands 3027, their wings 3671 and the wheels 212 were full 4392 of eyes 5869 all 5439 around 5439, the wheels 212 belonging to all four 702 of them.
13 The wheels 212 were called 7121 in my hearing 241, the whirling 1534 wheels 1534.
14 And each 259 one 259 had four 702 faces 6440. The first 259 face 6440 {was} the face 6440 of a cherub 3742, the second 8145 face 6440 {was} the face 6440 of a man 120, the third 7992 the face 6440 of a lion 743, and the fourth 7243 the face 6440 of an eagle 5404.
15 ¶ Then the cherubim 3742 rose 7426 up. They are the living 2421 beings 2421 that I saw 7200 by the river 5104 Chebar 3529.
16 Now when the cherubim 3742 moved 1980, the wheels 212 would go 1980 beside 681 them; also when the cherubim 3742 lifted 5375 up their wings 3671 to rise 7311 from the ground 776, the wheels 212 would not turn 5437 from beside 681 them.
17 When the cherubim stood 5975 still 5975, the wheels would stand 5975 still 5975; and when they rose 7426 up, the wheels would rise 7311 with them, for the spirit 7307 of the living 2421 beings 2421 {was} in them.
18 ¶ Then the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 departed 3318 from the threshold 4670 of the temple 1004 and stood 5975 over 5921 the cherubim 3742.
19 When the cherubim 3742 departed 3318, they lifted 5375 their wings 3671 and rose 7426 up from the earth 776 in my sight 5869 with the wheels 212 beside 5980 them; and they stood 5975 still 5975 at the entrance 6607 of the east 6931 gate 8179 of the LORD'S 3068 house 1004, and the glory 3519 of the God 430 of Israel 3478 hovered over 5921 them.
20 ¶ These 1931 are the living 2421 beings 2421 that I saw 7200 beneath 8478 the God 430 of Israel 3478 by the river 5104 Chebar 3529; so I knew 3045 that they {were} cherubim 3742.
21 Each 259 one 259 had four 702 faces 6440 and each 259 one 259 four 702 wings 3671, and beneath 8478 their wings 3671 {was} the form 1823 of human 120 hands 3027.
22 As for the likeness 1823 of their faces 6440, they were the same 1992 faces 6440 whose 834 appearance 4758 I had seen 7200 by the river 5104 Chebar 3529. Each 376 one 376 went 1980 straight ahead 6440.

Evil Rulers to Be Judged

Moreover, the Spirit 7307 lifted 5375 me up and brought 935 me to the east 6931 gate 8179 of the LORD'S 3068 house 1004 which faced 6437 eastward 6931. And behold 2009, {there were} twenty-five men 376 at the entrance 6607 of the gate 8179, and among 8432 them I saw 7200 Jaazaniah 2970 son 1121 of Azzur 5809 and Pelatiah 6410 son 1121 of Benaiah 1141, leaders 8269 of the people 5971.
2 He said 559 to me, "Son 1121 of man 120, these 428 are the men 376 who devise 2803 iniquity 205 and give 3289 evil 7451 advice 6098 in this 384 city 5892,
3 who say 559, '{The time} is not near 7138 to build 1129 houses 1004. This 1931 {city} is the pot 5518 and we are the flesh 1320.'
4 "Therefore 3651, prophesy 5012 against 5921 them, son 1121 of man 120, prophesy 5012!"
5 ¶ Then the Spirit 7307 of the LORD 3068 fell 5307 upon me, and He said 559 to me, "Say 559, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, "So 3651 you think 559, house 1004 of Israel 3478, for I know 3045 your thoughts.
6 "You have multiplied 7235 your slain 2491 in this 384 city 5892, filling 4390 its streets 2351 with them."
7 'Therefore 3651, thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Your slain 2491 whom 834 you have laid 7760 in the midst 8432 of the city are the flesh 1320 and this 1931 {city} is the pot 5518; but I will bring 3318 you out of it.
8 "You have feared 3372 a sword 2719; so I will bring 935 a sword 2719 upon you," the Lord 136 GOD 3068 declares 5002.
9 "And I will bring 3318 you out of the midst 8432 of the city and deliver 5414 you into the hands 3027 of strangers 2114 and execute 6213 judgments 8201 against you.
10 "You will fall 5307 by the sword 2719. I will judge 8199 you to the border 1366 of Israel 3478; so you shall know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068.
11 "This 1931 {city} will not be a pot 5518 for you, nor 3808 will you be flesh 1320 in the midst 8432 of it, {but} I will judge 8199 you to the border 1366 of Israel 3478.
12 "Thus you will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068; for you have not walked 1980 in My statutes 2706 nor 3808 have you executed 6213 My ordinances 4941, but have acted 6213 according to the ordinances 4941 of the nations 1471 around 5439 you."'"
13 ¶ Now it came 1961 about as I prophesied 5012, that Pelatiah 6410 son 1121 of Benaiah 1141 died 4191. Then I fell 5307 on my face 6440 and cried 2199 out with a loud 1419 voice 6963 and said 559, "Alas 162, Lord 136 GOD 3068! Will You bring 6213 the remnant 7611 of Israel 3478 to a complete 3617 end 3617?"
14

Promise of Restoration

¶ Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me, saying 559,
15 "Son 1121 of man 120, your brothers 251, your relatives 251, your fellow 376 exiles 1546 and the whole 3605 house 1004 of Israel 3478, all 3605 of them, {are those} to whom 834 the inhabitants 3427 of Jerusalem 3389 have said 559, 'Go 7368 far 7368 from the LORD 3068; this 1931 land 776 has been given 5414 us as a possession 4181.'
16 "Therefore 3651 say 559, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Though 3588 I had removed 7368 them far 7368 away among the nations 1471 and though 3588 I had scattered 6327 them among the countries 776, yet I was a sanctuary 4720 for them a little 4592 while 4592 in the countries 776 where they had gone 935."'
17 "Therefore 3651 say 559, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "I will gather 6908 you from the peoples 5971 and assemble 622 you out of the countries 776 among which 834 you have been scattered 6327, and I will give 5414 you the land 127 of Israel 3478."'
18 "When they come 935 there 8033, they will remove 5493 all 3605 its detestable 8251 things 8251 and all 3605 its abominations 8441 from it.
19 "And I will give 5414 them one 259 heart 3820, and put 5414 a new 2319 spirit 7307 within 7130 them. And I will take 5493 the heart 3820 of stone 68 out of their flesh 1320 and give 5414 them a heart 3820 of flesh 1320,
20 that they may walk 1980 in My statutes 2708 and keep 8104 My ordinances 4941 and do 6213 them. Then they will be My people 5971, and I shall be their God 430.
21 "But as for those whose hearts 3820 go 1980 after their detestable 8251 things 8251 and abominations 8441, I will bring 5414 their conduct 1870 down 5414 on their heads 7218," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
22 ¶ Then the cherubim 3742 lifted 5375 up their wings 3671 with the wheels 212 beside 5980 them, and the glory 3519 of the God 430 of Israel 3478 hovered over 5921 them.
23 The glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 went 5927 up from the midst 8432 of the city 5892 and stood 5975 over 5921 the mountain 2022 which 834 is east 6924 of the city 5892.
24 And the Spirit 7307 lifted 5375 me up and brought 935 me in a vision 4758 by the Spirit 7307 of God 430 to the exiles 1473 in Chaldea 3778. So the vision 4758 that I had seen 7200 left 5927 me.
25 Then I told 1696 the exiles 1473 all 3605 the things 1697 that the LORD 3068 had shown 7200 me.

Ezekiel Prepares for Exile

Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me, saying 559,
2 "Son 1121 of man 120, you live 3427 in the midst 8432 of the rebellious 4805 house 1004, who 834 have eyes 5869 to see 7200 but do not see 7200, ears 241 to hear 8085 but do not hear 8085; for they are a rebellious 4805 house 1004.
3 "Therefore, son 1121 of man 120, prepare 6213 for yourself baggage 3627 for exile 1473 and go 1540 into exile 1540 by day 3119 in their sight 5869; even go 1540 into exile 1540 from your place 4725 to another 312 place 4725 in their sight 5869. Perhaps 194 they will understand 7200 though 3588 they are a rebellious 4805 house 1004.
4 "Bring 3318 your baggage 3627 out by day 3119 in their sight 5869, as baggage 3627 for exile 1473. Then you will go 3318 out at evening 6153 in their sight 5869, as those going 4161 into exile 1473.
5 "Dig 2864 a hole through the wall 7023 in their sight 5869 and go 3318 out through it.
6 "Load 5375 {the baggage} on {your} shoulder 3802 in their sight 5869 {and} carry 3318 {it} out in the dark 5939. You shall cover 3680 your face 6440 so that you cannot 3808 see 7200 the land 776, for I have set 5414 you as a sign 4159 to the house 1004 of Israel 3478."
7 ¶ I did 6213 so 3651, as I had been commanded 6680. By day 3119 I brought 3318 out my baggage 3627 like the baggage 3627 of an exile 1473. Then in the evening 6153 I dug 2864 through the wall 7023 with my hands 3027; I went 3318 out in the dark 5939 {and} carried 5375 {the baggage} on {my} shoulder 3802 in their sight 5869.
8 ¶ In the morning 1242 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me, saying 559,
9 "Son 1121 of man 120, has not the house 1004 of Israel 3478, the rebellious 4805 house 1004, said 559 to you, 'What 4100 are you doing 6213?'
10 "Say 559 to them, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "This 2088 burden 4853 {concerns} the prince 5387 in Jerusalem 3389 as well as all 3605 the house 1004 of Israel 3478 who 834 are in it."'
11 "Say 559, 'I am a sign 4159 to you. As I have done 6213, so 3651 it will be done 6213 to them; they will go 1980 into exile 1473, into captivity 7628.'
12 "The prince 5387 who 834 is among 8432 them will load 5375 {his baggage} on {his} shoulder 3802 in the dark 5939 and go 3318 out. They will dig 2864 a hole through the wall 7023 to bring 3318 {it} out. He will cover 3680 his face 6440 so that he can not see 7200 the land 776 with {his} eyes 5869.
13 "I will also spread 6566 My net 7568 over 5921 him, and he will be caught 8610 in My snare 4686. And I will bring 935 him to Babylon 894 in the land 776 of the Chaldeans 3778; yet he will not see 7200 it, though he will die 4191 there 8033.
14 "I will scatter 2219 to every 3605 wind 7307 all 3605 who 834 are around 5439 him, his helpers 5828 and all 3605 his troops 102; and I will draw 7385 out a sword 2719 after 310 them.
15 "So they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068 when I scatter 6327 them among the nations 1471 and spread 2219 them among the countries 776.
16 "But I will spare 3498 a few 4557 of them from the sword 2719, the famine 7458 and the pestilence 1698 that they may tell 5608 all 3605 their abominations 8441 among the nations 1471 where they go 935, and may know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068."
17 ¶ Moreover, the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
18 "Son 1121 of man 120, eat 398 your bread 3899 with trembling 7494 and drink 8354 your water 4325 with quivering 7269 and anxiety 1674.
19 "Then say 559 to the people 5971 of the land 776, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 concerning the inhabitants 3427 of Jerusalem 3389 in the land 127 of Israel 3478, "They will eat 398 their bread 3899 with anxiety 1674 and drink 8354 their water 4325 with horror 8078, because 4616 their land 776 will be stripped 3456 of its fullness 4393 on account 6440 of the violence 2555 of all 3605 who live 3427 in it.
20 "The inhabited 3427 cities 5892 will be laid 2717 waste 2717 and the land 776 will be a desolation 8077. So you will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068."'"
21 ¶ Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me, saying 559,
22 "Son 1121 of man 120, what 4100 is this 2088 proverb 4912 you {people} have concerning 5921 the land 127 of Israel 3478, saying 559, 'The days 3117 are long 748 and every 3605 vision 2377 fails 6'?
23 "Therefore 3651 say 559 to them, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "I will make this 2088 proverb 4912 cease 7673 so that they will no 3808 longer 5750 use 4911 it as a proverb 4911 in Israel 3478." But tell 1696 them, "The days 3117 draw 7126 near 7126 as well as the fulfillment 1697 of every 3605 vision 2377.
24 "For there will no 3808 longer 5750 be any 3605 false 7723 vision 2377 or flattering 2509 divination 4738 within 8432 the house 1004 of Israel 3478.
25 "For I the LORD 3068 will speak 1696, and whatever 834 word 1697 I speak 1696 will be performed 6213. It will no 3808 longer 5750 be delayed 4900, for in your days 3117, O rebellious 4805 house 1004, I will speak 1696 the word 1697 and perform 6213 it," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.'"
26 ¶ Furthermore, the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me, saying 559,
27 "Son 1121 of man 120, behold 2009, the house 1004 of Israel 3478 is saying 559, 'The vision 2377 that he sees 2372 is for many 7227 years 3117 {from now,} and he prophesies 5012 of times 6256 far 7350 off 7350.'
28 "Therefore 3651 say 559 to them, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "None of My words 1697 will be delayed 4900 any 5750 longer 5750. Whatever word 1697 I speak 1696 will be performed 6213,"'" declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.

False Prophets Condemned

Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
2 "Son 1121 of man 120, prophesy 5012 against 413 the prophets 5030 of Israel 3478 who prophesy 5012, and say 559 to those who prophesy 5030 from their own inspiration 3820, 'Listen 8085 to the word 1697 of the LORD 3068!
3 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Woe 1945 to the foolish 5036 prophets 5030 who 834 are following their own spirit 7307 and have seen 7200 nothing 1115.
4 "O Israel 3478, your prophets 5030 have been 1961 like foxes 7776 among ruins 2723.
5 "You have not gone 5927 up into the breaches 6556, nor 3808 did you build 1443 the wall 1443 around 5921 the house 1004 of Israel 3478 to stand 5975 in the battle 4421 on the day 3117 of the LORD 3068.
6 "They see 2372 falsehood 7723 and lying 3577 divination 7081 who are saying 559, 'The LORD 3068 declares 5002,' when the LORD 3068 has not sent 7971 them; yet they hope 3176 for the fulfillment 6965 of {their} word 1697.
7 "Did you not see 7200 a false 7723 vision 4236 and speak 559 a lying 3577 divination 4738 when you said 559, 'The LORD 3068 declares 5002,' but it is not I who have spoken 1696?"'"
8 ¶ Therefore 3651, thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Because 3282 you have spoken 1696 falsehood 7723 and seen 2372 a lie 3577, therefore 3651 behold 2009, I am against 413 you," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
9 "So My hand 3027 will be against 413 the prophets 5030 who see 7200 false 7723 visions 7723 and utter 7080 lying 3577 divinations 7080. They will have 1961 no 3808 place 1961 in the council 5475 of My people 5971, nor 3808 will they be written 3789 down 3789 in the register 3791 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478, nor 3808 will they enter 935 the land 127 of Israel 3478, that you may know 3045 that I am the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
10 "It is definitely 3282 because 3282 they have misled 2937 My people 5971 by saying 559, 'Peace 7965!' when there 369 is no 369 peace 7965. And when anyone 1931 builds 1129 a wall 2434, behold 2009, they plaster 2902 it over 2902 with whitewash 8602;
11 {so} tell 559 those who plaster 2902 {it} over 2902 with whitewash 8602, that it will fall 5307. A flooding 7857 rain 1653 will come 1961, and you, O hailstones, will fall 5307; and a violent 5591 wind 7307 will break 1234 out.
12 "Behold 2009, when the wall 7023 has fallen 5307, will you not be asked 559, 'Where 346 is the plaster 2915 with which 834 you plastered 2902 {it?}'"
13 Therefore 3651, thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "I will make a violent 5591 wind 7307 break 1234 out in My wrath 2534. There will also be in My anger 639 a flooding 7857 rain 1653 and hailstones to consume 3615 {it} in wrath 2534.
14 "So I will tear 2040 down 2040 the wall 7023 which 834 you plastered 2902 over 2902 with whitewash 8602 and bring 5060 it down 5060 to the ground 776, so that its foundation 3247 is laid 1540 bare 1540; and when it falls 5307, you will be consumed 3615 in its midst 8432. And you will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068.
15 "Thus I will spend 3615 My wrath 2534 on the wall 7023 and on those who have plastered 2902 it over 2902 with whitewash 8602; and I will say 559 to you, 'The wall 7023 is gone 369 and its plasterers 2902 are gone 369,
16 {along with} the prophets 5030 of Israel 3478 who prophesy 5012 to Jerusalem 3389, and who see 7200 visions 2377 of peace 7965 for her when there 369 is no 369 peace 7965,' declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
17 ¶ "Now you, son 1121 of man 120, set 7760 your face 6440 against 413 the daughters 1323 of your people 5971 who are prophesying 5012 from their own inspiration 3820. Prophesy 5012 against 5921 them
18 and say 559, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Woe 1945 to the women who sew 8609 {magic} bands 3704 on all 3605 wrists and make 6213 veils 4555 for the heads 7218 of {persons} of every 3605 stature 6967 to hunt 6679 down 6679 lives 5315! Will you hunt 6679 down 6679 the lives 5315 of My people 5971, but preserve 2421 the lives 5315 {of others} for yourselves?
19 "For handfuls 8168 of barley 8184 and fragments 6604 of bread 3899, you have profaned 2490 Me to My people 5971 to put 4191 to death 4191 some 5315 who 834 should not die 4191 and to keep 2421 others 5315 alive 2421 who 834 should not live 2421, by your lying 3576 to My people 5971 who listen 8085 to lies 3577."'"
20 ¶ Therefore 3651, thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Behold 2009, I am against 413 your {magic} bands 3704 by which 834 you hunt 6679 lives 5315 there 8033 as birds 6524 and I will tear 7167 them from your arms 2220; and I will let 7971 them go 7971, even 853 those lives 5315 whom 834 you hunt 6679 as birds 6524.
21 "I will also tear 7167 off your veils 4555 and deliver 5337 My people 5971 from your hands 3027, and they will no 3808 longer 5750 be in your hands 3027 to be hunted 4686; and you will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068.
22 "Because 3282 you disheartened 3512 the righteous 6662 with falsehood 8267 when I did not cause 3510 him grief 3510, but have encouraged the wicked 7563 not to turn 7725 from his wicked 7451 way 1870 {and} preserve 2421 his life 2421,
23 therefore 3651, you women will no 3808 longer 5750 see 7200 false 7723 visions 7723 or practice 7080 divination 7081, and I will deliver 5337 My people 5971 out of your hand 3027. Thus you will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068."

Idolatrous Elders Condemned

Then some 376 elders 2205 of Israel 3478 came 935 to me and sat 3427 down 3427 before 6440 me.
2 And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me, saying 559,
3 "Son 1121 of man 120, these 428 men 376 have set 5927 up their idols 1544 in their hearts 3820 and have put 5414 right 5227 before 5227 their faces 6440 the stumbling 4383 block 4383 of their iniquity 5771. Should I be consulted 1875 by them at all 1875?
4 "Therefore 3651 speak 1696 to them and tell 559 them, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Any 376 man 376 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478 who 834 sets 5927 up his idols 1544 in his heart 3820, puts 7760 right 5227 before 5227 his face 6440 the stumbling 4383 block 4383 of his iniquity 5771, and {then} comes 935 to the prophet 5030, I the LORD 3068 will be brought 6030 to give 6030 him an answer 6030 in the matter in view of the multitude 7230 of his idols 1544,
5 in order 4616 to lay 8610 hold 8610 of the hearts 3820 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478 who 834 are estranged 2114 from Me through all 3605 their idols 1544."'
6 ¶ "Therefore 3651 say 559 to the house 1004 of Israel 3478, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Repent 7725 and turn 7725 away 7725 from your idols 1544 and turn 7725 your faces 6440 away 7725 from all 3605 your abominations 8441.
7 "For anyone 376 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478 or of the immigrants 1616 who 834 stay 1481 in Israel 3478 who separates 5144 himself from Me, sets 5927 up his idols 1544 in his heart 3820, puts 7760 right 5227 before 5227 his face 6440 the stumbling 4383 block 4383 of his iniquity 5771, and {then} comes 935 to the prophet 5030 to inquire 1875 of Me for himself, I the LORD 3068 will be brought 6030 to answer 6030 him in My own person.
8 "I will set 5414 My face 6440 against that man 376 and make 7760 him a sign 226 and a proverb 4912, and I will cut 3772 him off 3772 from among 8432 My people 5971. So you will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068.
9 ¶ "But if 3588 the prophet 5030 is prevailed 6601 upon to speak 1696 a word 1697, it is I, the LORD 3068, who have prevailed 6601 upon that prophet 5030, and I will stretch 5186 out My hand 3027 against 5921 him and destroy 8045 him from among 8432 My people 5971 Israel 3478.
10 "They will bear 5375 {the punishment of} their iniquity 5771; as the iniquity 5771 of the inquirer 1875 is, so the iniquity 5771 of the prophet 5030 will be,
11 in order 4616 that the house 1004 of Israel 3478 may no 3808 longer 5750 stray 8582 from Me and no 3808 longer 5750 defile 2930 themselves with all 3605 their transgressions 6588. Thus they will be My people 5971, and I shall be their God 430,"' declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068."

The City Will Not Be Spared

¶ Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
13 "Son 1121 of man 120, if 3588 a country 776 sins 2398 against Me by committing 4603 unfaithfulness 4603, and I stretch 5186 out My hand 3027 against 5921 it, destroy 7665 its supply 4294 of bread 3899, send 7971 famine 7458 against it and cut 3772 off 3772 from it both man 120 and beast 929,
14 even {though} these 428 three 7969 men 376, Noah 5146, Daniel 1840 and Job 347 were in its midst 8432, by their {own} righteousness 6666 they could {only} deliver 5337 themselves 5315," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
15 "If 3863 I were to cause wild 7451 beasts 2421 to pass 5674 through the land 776 and they depopulated 7921 it, and it became 1961 desolate 8077 so that no 1097 one 1097 would pass 5674 through 5674 it because of the beasts 2421,
16 {though} these 428 three 7969 men 376 were in its midst 8432, as I live 2416," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "they could not deliver 5337 either 518 {their} sons 1121 or 518 {their} daughters 1323. They alone 905 would be delivered 5337, but the country 776 would be desolate 8077.
17 "Or 176 {if} I should bring 935 a sword 2719 on that country 776 and say 559, 'Let the sword 2719 pass 5674 through the country 776 and cut 3772 off 3772 man 120 and beast 929 from it,'
18 even {though} these 428 three 7969 men 376 were in its midst 8432, as I live 2416," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "they could not deliver 5337 either {their} sons 1121 or {their} daughters 1323, but they alone 905 would be delivered 5337.
19 "Or 176 {if} I should send 7971 a plague 1698 against 413 that country 776 and pour 8210 out My wrath 2534 in blood 1818 on it to cut 3772 off 3772 man 120 and beast 929 from it,
20 even {though} Noah 5146, Daniel 1840 and Job 347 were in its midst 8432, as I live 2416," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "they could not deliver 5337 either 518 {their} son 1121 or 518 {their} daughter 1323. They would deliver 5337 only themselves 5315 by their righteousness 6666."
21 ¶ For thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "How 637 much 637 more when 3588 I send 7971 My four 702 severe 7451 judgments 8201 against 413 Jerusalem 3389: sword 2719, famine 7458, wild 7451 beasts 2421 and plague 1698 to cut 3772 off 3772 man 120 and beast 929 from it!
22 "Yet, behold 2009, survivors 6413 will be left 3498 in it who will be brought 3318 out, {both} sons 1121 and daughters 1323. Behold 2009, they are going to come 3318 forth 3318 to you and you will see 7200 their conduct 1870 and actions 5949; then you will be comforted 5162 for the calamity 7463 which 834 I have brought 935 against 5921 Jerusalem 3389 for everything 3605 which 834 I have brought 935 upon it.
23 "Then they will comfort 5162 you when 3588 you see 7200 their conduct 1870 and actions 5949, for you will know 3045 that I have not done 6213 in vain 2600 whatever I did 6213 to it," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.

Jerusalem like a Useless Vine

Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me, saying 559,
2 "Son 1121 of man 120, how 4100 is the wood 6086 of the vine 1612 {better} than 4480 any 3605 wood 6086 of a branch 2156 which 834 is among the trees 6086 of the forest 3293?
3 "Can wood 6086 be taken 3947 from it to make 6213 anything 4399, or 518 can {men} take 3947 a peg 3489 from it on which to hang 8518 any 3605 vessel 3627?
4 "If 2009 it has been put 5414 into the fire 784 for fuel 402, {and} the fire 784 has consumed 398 both 8147 of its ends 7098 and its middle 8432 part 8432 has been 2787 charred 2787, is it {then} useful 6743 for anything 4399?
5 "Behold 2009, while it is intact 8549, it is not made 6213 into anything 4399. How 637 much 637 less 637, when 3588 the fire 784 has consumed 398 it and it is charred 2787, can it still 5750 be made 6213 into anything 4399!
6 "Therefore 3651, thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'As the wood 6086 of the vine 1612 among the trees 6086 of the forest 3293, which 834 I have given 5414 to the fire 784 for fuel 402, so 3651 have I given 5414 up the inhabitants 3427 of Jerusalem 3389;
7 and I set 5414 My face 6440 against them. {Though} they have come 3318 out of the fire 784, yet the fire 784 will consume 398 them. Then you will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068, when 3588 I set 7760 My face 6440 against them.
8 'Thus I will make 5414 the land 776 desolate 8077, because 3282 they have acted 4603 unfaithfully 4604,'" declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.

God's Grace to Unfaithful Jerusalem

Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me, saying 559,
2 "Son 1121 of man 120, make 3045 known 3045 to Jerusalem 3389 her abominations 8441
3 and say 559, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 to Jerusalem 3389, "Your origin 4351 and your birth 4138 are from the land 776 of the Canaanite 3669, your father 1 was an Amorite 567 and your mother 517 a Hittite 2850.
4 "As for your birth 4138, on the day 3117 you were born 3205 your navel 8270 cord 8270 was not cut 3772, nor 3808 were you washed 7364 with water 4325 for cleansing 4935; you were not rubbed 4414 with salt 4414 or even wrapped 2853 in cloths 2853.
5 "No 3808 eye 5869 looked 2347 with pity 2347 on you to do 6213 any 259 of these 428 things 428 for you, to have 2550 compassion 2550 on you. Rather you were thrown 7993 out into the open 6440 field 7704, for you were abhorred 1604 on the day 3117 you were born 3205.
6 ¶ "When I passed 5674 by you and saw 7200 you squirming 947 in your blood 1818, I said 559 to you {while you were} in your blood 1818, 'Live 2421!' Yes, I said 559 to you {while you were} in your blood 1818, 'Live 2421!'
7 "I made 5414 you numerous 7233 like plants 6780 of the field 7704. Then you grew 7235 up, became 1431 tall 1431 and reached 935 the age 935 for fine 5716 ornaments 5716; {your} breasts 7699 were formed 3559 and your hair 8181 had grown 6779. Yet you were naked 5903 and bare 6181.
8 ¶ "Then I passed 5674 by you and saw 7200 you, and behold 2009, you were at the time 6256 for love 1730; so I spread 6566 My skirt 3671 over 5921 you and covered 3680 your nakedness 6172. I also swore 7650 to you and entered 935 into a covenant 1285 with you so that you became 1961 Mine," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
9 "Then I bathed 7364 you with water 4325, washed 7857 off 7857 your blood 1818 from you and anointed 5480 you with oil 8081.
10 "I also clothed 3847 you with embroidered 7553 cloth 7553 and put 5274 sandals 5274 of porpoise 8476 skin 8476 on your feet; and I wrapped 2280 you with fine 8336 linen 8336 and covered 3680 you with silk 4897.
11 "I adorned 5710 you with ornaments 5716, put 5414 bracelets 6781 on your hands 3027 and a necklace 7242 around 5921 your neck 1627.
12 "I also put 5414 a ring 5141 in your nostril 639, earrings 5694 in your ears 241 and a beautiful 8597 crown 5850 on your head 7218.
13 "Thus you were adorned 5710 with gold 2091 and silver 3701, and your dress 4403 was of fine 8336 linen 8336, silk 4897 and embroidered 7553 cloth 7553. You ate 398 fine 5560 flour 5560, honey 1706 and oil 8081; so you were exceedingly 3966 beautiful 3302 and advanced 6743 to royalty 4410.
14 "Then your fame 8034 went 3318 forth 3318 among the nations 1471 on account of your beauty 3308, for it was perfect 3632 because of My splendor 1926 which 834 I bestowed 7760 on you," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
15 ¶ "But you trusted 982 in your beauty 3308 and played 2181 the harlot 2181 because 5921 of your fame 8034, and you poured 8210 out your harlotries 8457 on every 3605 passer-by 5674 who might be {willing.}
16 "You took 3947 some 4480 of your clothes 899, made 6213 for yourself high 1116 places 1116 of various 2921 colors 2921 and played 2181 the harlot 2181 on them, which should never 3808 come 935 about nor 3808 happen 1961.
17 "You also took 3947 your beautiful 8597 jewels 3627 {made} of My gold 2091 and of My silver 3701, which 834 I had given 5414 you, and made 6213 for yourself male 2145 images 6754 that you might play 2181 the harlot 2181 with them.
18 "Then you took 3947 your embroidered 7553 cloth 899 and covered 3680 them, and offered 5414 My oil 8081 and My incense 7004 before 6440 them.
19 "Also My bread 3899 which 834 I gave 5414 you, fine 5560 flour 5560, oil 8081 and honey 1706 with which I fed 398 you, you would offer 5414 before 6440 them for a soothing 5207 aroma 7381; so it happened 1961," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
20 "Moreover, you took 3947 your sons 1121 and daughters 1323 whom 834 you had borne 3205 to Me and sacrificed 2076 them to idols to be devoured 398. Were your harlotries 8457 so 4592 small 4592 a matter?
21 "You slaughtered 7819 My children 1121 and offered 5414 them up to idols by causing them to pass 5674 through 5674 {the fire.}
22 "Besides 854 all 3605 your abominations 8441 and harlotries 8457 you did not remember 2142 the days 3117 of your youth 5271, when you were naked 5903 and bare 6181 and squirming 947 in your blood 1818.
23 ¶ "Then it came 1961 about after 310 all 3605 your wickedness 7463 ('Woe 188, woe 188 to you!' declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068),
24 that you built 1129 yourself a shrine 1354 and made 6213 yourself a high 7413 place 7413 in every 3605 square 7339.
25 "You built 1129 yourself a high 7413 place 7413 at the top 7218 of every 3605 street 1870 and made 8581 your beauty 3308 abominable 8581, and you spread 6589 your legs 7272 to every 3605 passer-by 5674 to multiply 7235 your harlotry 8457.
26 "You also played 2181 the harlot 2181 with the Egyptians 4714, your lustful neighbors 7934, and multiplied 7235 your harlotry 8457 to make 3707 Me angry 3707.
27 "Behold 2009 now, I have stretched 5186 out My hand 3027 against 5921 you and diminished 1639 your rations 2706. And I delivered 5414 you up to the desire 5315 of those who hate 8130 you, the daughters 1323 of the Philistines 6430, who are ashamed 3637 of your lewd 2154 conduct 1870.
28 "Moreover, you played 2181 the harlot 2181 with the Assyrians 804 because 4480 you were not satisfied 7654; you played 2181 the harlot 2181 with them and still 1571 were not satisfied 7646.
29 "You also multiplied 7235 your harlotry 8457 with the land 776 of merchants 3667, Chaldea 3778, yet even 1571 with this 384 you were not satisfied 7646."'"
30 ¶ "How 4100 languishing 535 is your heart 3826," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "while you do 6213 all 3605 these 428 things 4639, the actions 4639 of a bold-faced 7989 harlot 2181.
31 "When you built 1129 your shrine 1354 at the beginning 7218 of every 3605 street 1870 and made 6213 your high 7413 place 7413 in every 3605 square 7339, in disdaining 7046 money 868, you were not like a harlot 2181.
32 "You adulteress 5003 wife 802, who takes 3947 strangers 2114 instead 8478 of her husband 376!
33 "Men give 5414 gifts 5078 to all 3605 harlots 2181, but you give 5414 your gifts 5083 to all 3605 your lovers 157 to bribe 7809 them to come 935 to you from every 5439 direction 5439 for your harlotries 8457.
34 "Thus you are different 2016 from those women 802 in your harlotries 8457, in that no 3808 one plays 2181 the harlot 2181 as you do, because you give 5414 money 868 and no 3808 money 868 is given 5414 you; thus you are different 2016."
35 ¶ Therefore 3651, O harlot 2181, hear 8085 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068.
36 Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Because 3282 your lewdness 5179 was poured 8210 out and your nakedness 6172 uncovered 1540 through your harlotries 8457 with your lovers 157 and with all 3605 your detestable 8441 idols 1544, and because of the blood 1818 of your sons 1121 which 834 you gave 5414 to idols,
37 therefore 3651, behold 2009, I will gather 6908 all 3605 your lovers 157 with whom 834 you took 6149 pleasure 6149, even all 3605 those whom 834 you loved 157 {and} all 3605 those whom 834 you hated 8130. So I will gather 6908 them against 5921 you from every 5439 direction 5439 and expose 1540 your nakedness 6172 to them that they may see 7200 all 3605 your nakedness 6172.
38 "Thus I will judge 8199 you like women who commit 5003 adultery 5003 or shed 8210 blood 1818 are judged 4941; and I will bring 5414 on you the blood 1818 of wrath 2534 and jealousy 7068.
39 "I will also give 5414 you into the hands 3027 of your lovers, and they will tear 2040 down 2040 your shrines 1354, demolish 5422 your high 7413 places 7413, strip 6584 you of your clothing 899, take 3947 away your jewels, and will leave 5117 you naked 5903 and bare 6181.
40 "They will incite 5927 a crowd 6951 against 5921 you and they will stone 7275 you and cut 1333 you to pieces 1333 with their swords 2719.
41 "They will burn 8313 your houses 1004 with fire 784 and execute 6213 judgments 8201 on you in the sight 5869 of many 7227 women 802. Then I will stop 7673 you from playing 2181 the harlot 2181, and you will also 1571 no 3808 longer 5750 pay 5414 your lovers 868.
42 "So I will calm 5117 My fury 2534 against you and My jealousy 7068 will depart 5493 from you, and I will be pacified 8252 and angry 3707 no 3808 more 5750.
43 "Because you have not remembered 2142 the days 3117 of your youth 5271 but have enraged 7264 Me by all 3605 these 428 things 428, behold 1887, I in turn 1571 will bring 5414 your conduct 1870 down 5414 on your own head 7218," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "so that you will not commit 6213 this lewdness 2154 on top 5921 of all 3605 your {other} abominations 8441.
44 ¶ "Behold 2009, everyone 3605 who quotes 4911 proverbs 4911 will quote 4911 {this} proverb 4911 concerning 5921 you, saying 559, 'Like mother 517, like daughter 1323.'
45 "You are the daughter 1323 of your mother 517, who loathed 1602 her husband 376 and children 1121. You are also the sister 269 of your sisters 269, who 834 loathed 1602 their husbands 376 and children 1121. Your mother 517 was a Hittite 2850 and your father 1 an Amorite 567.
46 "Now your older 1419 sister 269 is Samaria 8111, who lives 3427 north 8040 of you with her daughters 1323; and your younger 6996 sister 269, who lives 3427 south 3225 of you, is Sodom 5467 with her daughters 1323.
47 "Yet you have not merely walked 1980 in their ways 1870 or done 6213 according to their abominations 8441; but, as if that were too 6985 little 4592, you acted 7843 more 4480 corruptly 7843 in all 3605 your conduct 1870 than 4480 they.
48 "As I live 2416," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Sodom 5467, your sister 269 and her daughters 1323 have not done 6213 as you and your daughters 1323 have done 6213.
49 "Behold 2009, this 2088 was the guilt 5771 of your sister 269 Sodom 5467: she and her daughters 1323 had 1961 arrogance 1347, abundant 7654 food 3899 and careless 8252 ease 7962, but she did not help the poor 6041 and needy 34.
50 "Thus they were haughty 1361 and committed 6213 abominations 8441 before 6440 Me. Therefore I removed 5493 them when 3512 I saw 7200 {it.}
51 "Furthermore, Samaria 8111 did not commit 2398 half 2677 of your sins 2403, for you have multiplied 7235 your abominations 8441 more 4480 than 4480 they. Thus you have made 6663 your sisters 269 appear righteous 6663 by all 3605 your abominations 8441 which 834 you have committed 6213.
52 "Also 1571 bear 5375 your disgrace 3639 in that you have made 6419 judgment 6419 favorable 6419 for your sisters 269. Because of your sins 2403 in which 834 you acted 8581 more 4480 abominably 8581 than 4480 they, they are more 4480 in the right 6663 than 4480 you. Yes 1571, be also 1571 ashamed 954 and bear 5375 your disgrace 3639, in that you made 6663 your sisters 269 appear righteous 6663.
53 ¶ "Nevertheless, I will restore 7725 their captivity 7622, the captivity 7622 of Sodom 5467 and her daughters 1323, the captivity 7622 of Samaria 8111 and her daughters 1323, and along 8432 with them your own 7622 captivity 7622,
54 in order 4616 that you may bear 5375 your humiliation 3639 and feel 3637 ashamed 3637 for all 3605 that you have done 6213 when you become 5162 a consolation 5162 to them.
55 "Your sisters 269, Sodom 5467 with her daughters 1323 and Samaria 8111 with her daughters 1323, will return 7725 to their former 6927 state 6927, and you with your daughters 1323 will {also} return 7725 to your former 6927 state 6927.
56 "As {the name of} your sister 269 Sodom 5467 was not heard 8052 from your lips 6310 in your day 3117 of pride 1347,
57 before 2962 your wickedness 7463 was uncovered 1540, so 3644 now 6256 you have become the reproach 2781 of the daughters 1323 of Edom 112 and of all 3605 who are around 5439 her, of the daughters 1323 of the Philistines 6430--those surrounding 5439 {you} who despise 7751 you.
58 "You have borne 5375 {the penalty of} your lewdness 2154 and abominations 8441," the LORD 3068 declares 5002.
59 For thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "I will also do 6213 with you as you have done 6213, you who 834 have despised 959 the oath 423 by breaking 6565 the covenant 1285.
60

The Covenant Remembered

¶ "Nevertheless, I will remember 2142 My covenant 1285 with you in the days 3117 of your youth 5271, and I will establish 6965 an everlasting 5769 covenant 1285 with you.
61 "Then you will remember 2142 your ways 1870 and be ashamed 3637 when you receive 3947 your sisters 269, {both} your older 1419 and your younger 6996; and I will give 5414 them to you as daughters 1323, but not because 4480 of your covenant 1285.
62 "Thus I will establish 6965 My covenant 1285 with you, and you shall know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068,
63 so that you may remember 2142 and be ashamed 954 and never 3808 open 6610 your mouth 6310 anymore 5750 because of your humiliation 3639, when I have forgiven 3722 you for all 3605 that you have done 6213," the Lord 136 GOD 3068 declares 5002.

Parable of Two Eagles and a Vine

Now the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
2 "Son 1121 of man 120, propound 2330 a riddle 2420 and speak 4911 a parable 4912 to the house 1004 of Israel 3478,
3 saying 559, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "A great 1419 eagle 5404 with great 1419 wings 3671, long 750 pinions 83 and a full 4392 plumage 5133 of many 7553 colors 7553 came 935 to Lebanon 3844 and took 3947 away the top 6788 of the cedar 730.
4 "He plucked 6998 off 6998 the topmost 7218 of its young 3242 twigs 3242 and brought 935 it to a land 776 of merchants 3667; he set 7760 it in a city 5892 of traders 7402.
5 "He also took 3947 some 4480 of the seed 2233 of the land 776 and planted 5414 it in fertile 2233 soil 7704. He placed 3947 {it} beside 5921 abundant 7227 waters 4325; he set 7760 it {like} a willow 6851.
6 "Then it sprouted 6779 and became 1961 a low 8217, spreading 5628 vine 1612 with its branches 1808 turned 6437 toward 413 him, but its roots 8328 remained 1961 under 8478 it. So it became 1961 a vine 1612 and yielded 6213 shoots 909 and sent 7971 out branches 6288.
7 ¶ "But there was another 259 great 1419 eagle 5404 with great 1419 wings 3671 and much 7227 plumage 5133; and behold 2009, this 2088 vine 1612 bent 3719 its roots 8328 toward 5921 him and sent 7971 out its branches 1808 toward him from the beds 6170 where 4302 it was planted 4302, that he might water 8248 it.
8 "It was planted 8362 in good 2896 soil 7704 beside 413 abundant 7227 waters 4325, that it might yield 6213 branches 6057 and bear 5375 fruit 6529 {and} become 1961 a splendid 155 vine 1612."'
9 "Say 559, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Will it thrive 6743? Will he not pull 5423 up its roots 8328 and cut 7082 off 7082 its fruit 6529, so that it withers 3001--so that all 3605 its sprouting 6780 leaves 2964 wither 3001? And neither 3808 by great 1419 strength 2220 nor 3808 by many 7227 people 5971 can it be raised 5375 from its roots 8328 {again.}
10 "Behold 2009, though it is planted 8362, will it thrive 6743? Will it not completely 3001 wither 3001 as soon as the east 6921 wind 7307 strikes 5060 it--wither 3001 on the beds 6170 where 6780 it grew 6780?"'"
11

Zedekiah's Rebellion

¶ Moreover, the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me, saying 559,
12 "Say 559 now 4994 to the rebellious 4805 house 1004, 'Do you not know 3045 what 4100 these 428 things 428 {mean?}' Say 559, 'Behold 2009, the king 4428 of Babylon 894 came 935 to Jerusalem 3389, took 3947 its king 4428 and princes 8269 and brought 935 them to him in Babylon 894.
13 'He took 3947 one of the royal 4410 family 2233 and made 3772 a covenant 1285 with him, putting 935 him under oath 423. He also took 3947 away the mighty 352 of the land 776,
14 that the kingdom 4467 might be in subjection 8217, not exalting 5375 itself, {but} keeping 8104 his covenant 1285 that it might continue 5975.
15 'But he rebelled 4775 against him by sending 7971 his envoys 4397 to Egypt 4714 that they might give 5414 him horses 5483 and many 7227 troops 5971. Will he succeed 6743? Will he who does 6213 such 428 things 428 escape 4422? Can he indeed break 6565 the covenant 1285 and escape 4422?
16 'As I live 2416,' declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'Surely in the country 4725 of the king 4428 who put 4427 him on the throne 4427, whose 834 oath 423 he despised 959 and whose 834 covenant 1285 he broke 6565, in Babylon 894 he shall die 4191.
17 'Pharaoh 6547 with {his} mighty 1419 army 2428 and great 1419 company 6951 will not help 6213 him in the war 4421, when they cast 8210 up ramps 5550 and build 1129 siege 1785 walls 1785 to cut 3772 off 3772 many 7227 lives 5315.
18 'Now he despised 959 the oath 423 by breaking 6565 the covenant 1285, and behold 2009, he pledged 5414 his allegiance 3027, yet did 6213 all 3605 these 428 things 428; he shall not escape 4422.'"
19 Therefore 3651, thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "As I live 2416, surely My oath 423 which 834 he despised 959 and My covenant 1285 which 834 he broke 6565, I will inflict 5414 on his head 7218.
20 "I will spread 6566 My net 7568 over 5921 him, and he will be caught 8610 in My snare 4686. Then I will bring 935 him to Babylon 894 and enter 8199 into judgment 8199 with him there 8033 {regarding} the unfaithful 4604 act 4604 which 834 he has committed 4603 against Me.
21 "All 3605 the choice 4005 men 4005 in all 3605 his troops 102 will fall 5307 by the sword 2719, and the survivors 7604 will be scattered 6566 to every 3605 wind 7307; and you will know 3045 that I, the LORD 3068, have spoken 1696."
22 ¶ Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "I will also take 3947 {a sprig} from the lofty 7311 top 6788 of the cedar 730 and set 5414 {it} out; I will pluck 6998 from the topmost 7218 of its young 3127 twigs 3127 a tender 7390 one 7390 and I will plant 8362 {it} on a high 1364 and lofty 8519 mountain 2022.
23 "On the high 4791 mountain 2022 of Israel 3478 I will plant 8362 it, that it may bring 5375 forth 5375 boughs 6057 and bear 6213 fruit 6529 and become 1961 a stately 117 cedar 730. And birds 6833 of every 3605 kind 3671 will nest 7931 under 8478 it; they will nest 7931 in the shade 6738 of its branches 1808.
24 "All 3605 the trees 6086 of the field 7704 will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068; I bring 8213 down 8213 the high 1364 tree 6086, exalt 1361 the low 8217 tree 6086, dry 3002 up the green 3892 tree 6086 and make the dry 3001 tree 6086 flourish 6524. I am the LORD 3068; I have spoken 1696, and I will perform 6213 {it.}"

God Deals Justly with Individuals

Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me, saying 559,
2 "What 4100 do you mean by using 4911 this 2088 proverb 4912 concerning 5921 the land 127 of Israel 3478, saying 559, 'The fathers 1 eat 398 the sour 1155 grapes 1155, But the children's 1121 teeth 8127 are set 6949 on edge 6949'?
3 "As I live 2416," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "you are surely 518 not going to use 4911 this 2088 proverb 4912 in Israel 3478 anymore 5750.
4 "Behold 2005, all 3605 souls 5315 are Mine; the soul 5315 of the father 1 as well as the soul 5315 of the son 1121 is Mine. The soul 5315 who sins 2398 will die 4191.
5 ¶ "But if 3588 a man 376 is righteous 6662 and practices 6213 justice 4941 and righteousness 6666,
6 and does not eat 398 at the mountain 2022 {shrines} or lift 5375 up his eyes 5869 to the idols 1544 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478, or defile 2930 his neighbor's 7453 wife 802 or approach 7126 a woman 802 during her menstrual 5079 period 5079--
7 if a man 376 does not oppress 3238 anyone, but restores 7725 to the debtor 2326 his pledge 2260, does not commit 1497 robbery 1500, {but} gives 5414 his bread 3899 to the hungry 7457 and covers 3680 the naked 5903 with clothing 899,
8 if he does not lend 5414 {money} on interest 5392 or take 3947 increase 8636, {if} he keeps 7725 his hand 3027 from iniquity 5766 {and} executes 6213 true 571 justice 4941 between 996 man 376 and man 376,
9 {if} he walks 1980 in My statutes 2708 and My ordinances 4941 so as to deal 6213 faithfully 571--he is righteous 6662 {and} will surely 2421 live 2421," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
10 ¶ "Then he may have 3205 a violent 6530 son 1121 who sheds 8210 blood 1818 and who does 6213 any of these 428 things 428 to a brother 251
11 (though he himself 1931 did not do 6213 any 3605 of these 428 things 428), that is, he even 1571 eats 398 at the mountain 2022 {shrines,} and defiles 2930 his neighbor's 7453 wife 802,
12 oppresses 3238 the poor 6041 and needy 34, commits 1497 robbery 1500, does not restore 7725 a pledge 2258, but lifts 5375 up his eyes 5869 to the idols 1544 {and} commits 6213 abomination 8441,
13 he lends 5414 {money} on interest 5392 and takes 3947 increase 8636; will he live 2421? He will not live 2421! He has committed 6213 all 3605 these 428 abominations 8441, he will surely 4191 be put 4191 to death 4191; his blood 1818 will be on his own head.
14 ¶ "Now behold 2009, he has 3205 a son 1121 who has observed 7200 all 3605 his father's 1 sins 2403 which 834 he committed 6213, and observing 7200 does not do 6213 likewise 2004.
15 "He does not eat 398 at the mountain 2022 {shrines} or lift 5375 up his eyes 5869 to the idols 1544 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478, or defile 2930 his neighbor's 7453 wife 802,
16 or oppress 3238 anyone 376, or retain 2254 a pledge 2258, or commit 1497 robbery 1500, {but} he gives 5414 his bread 3899 to the hungry 7457 and covers 3680 the naked 5903 with clothing 899,
17 he keeps 7725 his hand 3027 from the poor 6041, does not take 3947 interest 5392 or increase 8636, {but} executes 6213 My ordinances 4941, and walks 1980 in My statutes 2708; he will not die 4191 for his father's 1 iniquity 5771, he will surely 2421 live 2421.
18 "As for his father 1, because 3588 he practiced 6231 extortion 6233, robbed 1497 {his} brother 251 and did 6213 what 834 was not good 2896 among 8432 his people 5971, behold 2009, he will die 4191 for his iniquity 5771.
19 ¶ "Yet you say 559, 'Why 4069 should the son 1121 not bear 5375 the punishment 5771 for the father's 1 iniquity 5771?' When the son 1121 has practiced 6213 justice 4941 and righteousness 6666 and has observed 8104 all 3605 My statutes 2708 and done 6213 them, he shall surely 2421 live 2421.
20 "The person 5315 who sins 2398 will die 4191. The son 1121 will not bear 5375 the punishment 5771 for the father's 1 iniquity 5771, nor 3808 will the father 1 bear 5375 the punishment 5771 for the son's 1121 iniquity 5771; the righteousness 6666 of the righteous 6662 will be upon himself, and the wickedness 7564 of the wicked 7563 will be upon himself.
21 ¶ "But if 3588 the wicked 7563 man 7563 turns 7725 from all 3605 his sins 2403 which 834 he has committed 6213 and observes 8104 all 3605 My statutes 2708 and practices 6213 justice 4941 and righteousness 6666, he shall surely 2421 live 2421; he shall not die 4191.
22 "All 3605 his transgressions 6588 which 834 he has committed 6213 will not be remembered 2142 against him; because of his righteousness 6666 which 834 he has practiced 6213, he will live 2421.
23 "Do I have 2654 any 2654 pleasure 2654 in the death 4194 of the wicked 7563," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "rather 3808 than 3808 that he should turn 7725 from his ways 1870 and live 2421?
24 ¶ "But when a righteous 6662 man 6662 turns 7725 away 7725 from his righteousness 6666, commits 6213 iniquity 5766 and does 6213 according to all 3605 the abominations 8441 that a wicked 7563 man 7563 does 6213, will he live 2421? All 3605 his righteous 6666 deeds 6666 which 834 he has done 6213 will not be remembered 2142 for his treachery 4604 which 834 he has committed 4603 and his sin 2403 which 834 he has committed 2398; for them he will die 4191.
25 "Yet you say 559, 'The way 1870 of the Lord 136 is not right 8505.' Hear 8085 now 4994, O house 1004 of Israel 3478! Is My way 1870 not right 8505? Is it not your ways 1870 that are not right 8505?
26 "When a righteous 6662 man 6662 turns 7725 away 7725 from his righteousness 6666, commits 6213 iniquity 5766 and dies 4191 because 5921 of it, for his iniquity 5766 which 834 he has committed 6213 he will die 4191.
27 "Again, when a wicked 7563 man 7563 turns 7725 away 7725 from his wickedness 7564 which 834 he has committed 6213 and practices 6213 justice 4941 and righteousness 6666, he will save 2421 his life 5315.
28 "Because he considered 7200 and turned 7725 away 7725 from all 3605 his transgressions 6588 which 834 he had committed 6213, he shall surely 2421 live 2421; he shall not die 4191.
29 "But the house 1004 of Israel 3478 says 559, 'The way 1870 of the Lord 136 is not right 8505.' Are My ways 1870 not right 8505, O house 1004 of Israel 3478? Is it not your ways 1870 that are not right 8505?
30 ¶ "Therefore 3651 I will judge 8199 you, O house 1004 of Israel 3478, each 376 according to his conduct 1870," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068. "Repent 7725 and turn 7725 away 7725 from all 3605 your transgressions 6588, so that iniquity 5771 may not become 1961 a stumbling 4383 block 4383 to you.
31 "Cast 7993 away 7993 from you all 3605 your transgressions 6588 which 834 you have committed 6586 and make 6213 yourselves a new 2319 heart 3820 and a new 2319 spirit 7307! For why 4100 will you die 4191, O house 1004 of Israel 3478?
32 "For I have 2654 no 3808 pleasure 2654 in the death 4194 of anyone who dies 4191," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068. "Therefore, repent 7725 and live 2421."

Lament for the Princes of Israel

"As for you, take 5375 up a lamentation 7015 for the princes 5387 of Israel 3478
2 and say 559, 'What 4100 was your mother 517? A lioness 3833 among 996 lions 738! She lay 7257 down 7257 among 8432 young 3715 lions 3715, She reared 7235 her cubs 1482.
3 'When she brought 5927 up one 259 of her cubs 1482, He became 1961 a lion 3715, And he learned 3925 to tear 2963 {his} prey 2964; He devoured 398 men 120.
4 'Then nations 1471 heard 8085 about 413 him; He was captured 8610 in their pit 7845, And they brought 935 him with hooks 2397 To the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
5 'When she saw 7200, as she waited 3176, {That} her hope 8615 was lost 6, She took 3947 another 259 of her cubs 1482 And made 7760 him a young 3715 lion 3715.
6 'And he walked 1980 about among 8432 the lions 738; He became 1961 a young 3715 lion 3715, He learned 3925 to tear 2963 {his} prey 2964; He devoured 398 men 120.
7 'He destroyed 7489 their fortified 490 towers 759 And laid 2717 waste 2717 their cities 5892; And the land 776 and its fullness 4393 were appalled 3456 Because 4480 of the sound 6963 of his roaring 7581.
8 'Then nations 1471 set 5414 against 5921 him On every 5439 side 5439 from {their} provinces 4082, And they spread 6566 their net 7568 over 5921 him; He was captured 8610 in their pit 7845.
9 'They put 5414 him in a cage 5474 with hooks 2397 And brought 935 him to the king 4428 of Babylon 894; They brought 935 him in hunting 4685 nets 4685 So 4616 that his voice 6963 would be heard 8085 no 3808 more 5750 On the mountains 2022 of Israel 3478.
10 'Your mother 517 was like a vine 1612 in your vineyard, Planted 8362 by the waters 4325; It was fruitful 6509 and full 6058 of branches 6058 Because 4480 of abundant 7227 waters 4325.
11 'And it had 1961 strong 5797 branches 4294 {fit} for scepters 7626 of rulers 4910, And its height 6967 was raised 1361 above the clouds 5688 So that it was seen 7200 in its height 1363 with the mass 7230 of its branches 1808.
12 'But it was plucked 5428 up in fury 2534; It was cast 7993 down 7993 to the ground 776; And the east 6921 wind 7307 dried 3001 up its fruit 6529. Its strong 5797 branch 4294 was torn 6561 off 6561 So that it withered 3001; The fire 784 consumed 398 it.
13 'And now 6258 it is planted 8362 in the wilderness 4057, In a dry 6723 and thirsty 6772 land 776.
14 'And fire 784 has gone 3318 out from {its} branch 4294; It has consumed 398 its shoots 909 {and} fruit 6529, So that there is not in it a strong 5797 branch 4294, A scepter 7626 to rule 4910.'" This 1931 is a lamentation 7015, and has become 1961 a lamentation 7015.

God's Dealings with Israel Rehearsed

Now in the seventh 7637 year 8141, in the fifth 2549 {month,} on the tenth 6218 of the month 2320, certain 376 of the elders 2205 of Israel 3478 came 935 to inquire 1875 of the LORD 3068, and sat 3427 before 6440 me.
2 And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
3 "Son 1121 of man 120, speak 1696 to the elders 2205 of Israel 3478 and say 559 to them, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Do you come 935 to inquire 1875 of Me? As I live 2416," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "I will not be inquired 1875 of by you."'
4 "Will you judge 8199 them, will you judge 8199 them, son 1121 of man 120? Make them know 3045 the abominations 8441 of their fathers 1;
5 and say 559 to them, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "On the day 3117 when I chose 977 Israel 3478 and swore to the descendants 2233 of the house 1004 of Jacob 3290 and made 3045 Myself known 3045 to them in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, when I swore to them, saying 559, I am the LORD 3068 your God 430,
6 on that day 3117 I swore to them, to bring 3318 them out from the land 776 of Egypt 4714 into a land 776 that I had selected 8446 for them, flowing 2100 with milk 2461 and honey 1706, which 1931 is the glory 6643 of all 3605 lands 776.
7 "I said 559 to them, 'Cast 7993 away 7993, each 376 of you, the detestable 8251 things 8251 of his eyes 5869, and do not defile 2930 yourselves with the idols 1544 of Egypt 4714; I am the LORD 3068 your God 430.'
8 "But they rebelled 4784 against Me and were not willing 14 to listen 8085 to Me; they did not cast 7993 away 7993 the detestable 8251 things 8251 of their eyes 5869, nor 3808 did they forsake 5800 the idols 1544 of Egypt 4714.
9 ¶ "But I acted 6213 for the sake 4616 of My name 8034, that it should not be profaned 2490 in the sight 5869 of the nations 1471 among 8432 whom 834 they {lived,} in whose 834 sight 5869 I made 3045 Myself known 3045 to them by bringing 3318 them out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
10 "So I took 3318 them out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714 and brought 935 them into the wilderness 4057.
11 "I gave 5414 them My statutes 2708 and informed 3045 them of My ordinances 4941, by which 834, if a man 120 observes 6213 them, he will live 2421.
12 "Also 1571 I gave 5414 them My sabbaths 7676 to be a sign 226 between 996 Me and them, that they might know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068 who sanctifies 6942 them.
13 "But the house 1004 of Israel 3478 rebelled 4784 against Me in the wilderness 4057. They did not walk 1980 in My statutes 2708 and they rejected 3988 My ordinances 4941, by which 834, if a man 120 observes 6213 them, he will live 2421; and My sabbaths 7676 they greatly 3966 profaned 2490. Then I resolved 559 to pour 8210 out My wrath 2534 on them in the wilderness 4057, to annihilate 3615 them.
14 "But I acted 6213 for the sake 4616 of My name 8034, that it should not be profaned 2490 in the sight 5869 of the nations 1471, before whose 834 sight 5869 I had brought 3318 them out.
15 "Also 1571 I swore to them in the wilderness 4057 that I would not bring 935 them into the land 776 which 834 I had given 5414 them, flowing 2100 with milk 2461 and honey 1706, which 1931 is the glory 6643 of all 3605 lands 776,
16 because 3282 they rejected 3988 My ordinances 4941, and as for My statutes 2708, they did not walk 1980 in them; they even profaned 2490 My sabbaths 7676, for their heart 3820 continually went 1980 after 310 their idols 1544.
17 "Yet My eye 5869 spared 2347 them rather 4480 than 4480 destroying 7843 them, and I did not cause 6213 their annihilation 3617 in the wilderness 4057.
18 ¶ "I said 559 to their children 1121 in the wilderness 4057, 'Do not walk 1980 in the statutes 2706 of your fathers 1 or keep 8104 their ordinances 4941 or defile 2930 yourselves with their idols 1544.
19 'I am the LORD 3068 your God 430; walk 1980 in My statutes 2708 and keep 8104 My ordinances 4941 and observe 6213 them.
20 'Sanctify 6942 My sabbaths 7676; and they shall be a sign 226 between 996 Me and you, that you may know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068 your God 430.'
21 "But the children 1121 rebelled 4784 against Me; they did not walk 1980 in My statutes 2708, nor 3808 were they careful 8104 to observe 6213 My ordinances 4941, by which 834, {if} a man 120 observes 6213 them, he will live 2421; they profaned 2490 My sabbaths 7676. So I resolved 559 to pour 8210 out My wrath 2534 on them, to accomplish 3615 My anger 639 against them in the wilderness 4057.
22 "But I withdrew 7725 My hand 3027 and acted 6213 for the sake 4616 of My name 8034, that it should not be profaned 2490 in the sight 5869 of the nations 1471 in whose 834 sight 5869 I had brought 3318 them out.
23 "Also 1571 I swore to them in the wilderness 4057 that I would scatter 6327 them among the nations 1471 and disperse 2219 them among the lands 776,
24 because 3282 they had not observed 6213 My ordinances 4941, but had rejected 3988 My statutes 2708 and had profaned 2490 My sabbaths 7676, and their eyes 5869 were on the idols 1544 of their fathers 1.
25 "I also 1571 gave 5414 them statutes 2706 that were not good 2896 and ordinances 4941 by which they could not live 2421;
26 and I pronounced 2930 them unclean 2930 because of their gifts 4979, in that they caused all 3605 their firstborn 1060 to pass 5674 through 5674 {the fire} so 4616 that I might make 8074 them desolate 8074, in order 4616 that they might know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068."'
27 ¶ "Therefore 3651, son 1121 of man 120, speak 1696 to the house 1004 of Israel 3478 and say 559 to them, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Yet 5750 in this 2088 your fathers 1 have blasphemed 1442 Me by acting 4603 treacherously 4603 against Me.
28 "When I had brought 935 them into the land 776 which 834 I swore to give 5414 to them, then they saw 7200 every 3605 high 7311 hill 1389 and every 3605 leafy 5687 tree 6086, and they offered 2076 there 8033 their sacrifices 2077 and there 8033 they presented 5414 the provocation 3708 of their offering 7133. There 8033 also they made 7760 their soothing 5207 aroma 7381 and there 8033 they poured 5258 out their drink 5262 offerings 5262.
29 "Then I said 559 to them, 'What 4100 is the high 1116 place 1116 to which 834 you go 935?' So its name 8034 is called 7121 Bamah 1117 to this 2088 day 3117."'
30 "Therefore 3651, say 559 to the house 1004 of Israel 3478, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Will you defile 2930 yourselves after the manner 1870 of your fathers 1 and play 2181 the harlot 2181 after 310 their detestable 8251 things 8251?
31 "When you offer 5375 your gifts 4979, when you cause your sons 1121 to pass 5674 through the fire 784, you are defiling 2930 yourselves with all 3605 your idols 1544 to this day 3117. And shall I be inquired 1875 of by you, O house 1004 of Israel 3478? As I live 2416," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "I will not be inquired 1875 of by you.
32 "What comes 5927 into your mind 7307 will not come 1961 about, when 834 you say 559: 'We will be like the nations 1471, like the tribes 4940 of the lands 776, serving 8334 wood 6086 and stone 68.'

God Will Restore Israel to Her Land

¶ "As I live 2416," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "surely with a mighty 2389 hand 3027 and with an outstretched 5186 arm 2220 and with wrath 2534 poured 8210 out, I shall be king 4427 over 5921 you.
34 "I will bring 3318 you out from the peoples 5971 and gather 6908 you from the lands 776 where 834 you are scattered 6327, with a mighty 2389 hand 3027 and with an outstretched 5186 arm 2220 and with wrath 2534 poured 8210 out;
35 and I will bring 935 you into the wilderness 4057 of the peoples 5971, and there 8033 I will enter 8199 into judgment 8199 with you face 6440 to face 6440.
36 "As I entered 8199 into judgment 8199 with your fathers 1 in the wilderness 4057 of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, so 3651 I will enter 8199 into judgment 8199 with you," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
37 "I will make you pass 5674 under 8478 the rod 7626, and I will bring 935 you into the bond 4562 of the covenant 1285;
38 and I will purge 1305 from you the rebels 4775 and those who transgress 6586 against Me; I will bring 3318 them out of the land 776 where 4033 they sojourn 4033, but they will not enter 935 the land 127 of Israel 3478. Thus you will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068.
39 ¶ "As for you, O house 1004 of Israel 3478," thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Go 1980, serve 5647 everyone 376 his idols 1544; but later 310 you will surely listen 8085 to Me, and My holy 6944 name 8034 you will profane 2490 no 3808 longer 5750 with your gifts 4979 and with your idols 1544.
40 "For on My holy 6944 mountain 2022, on the high 4791 mountain 2022 of Israel 3478," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "there 8033 the whole 3605 house 1004 of Israel 3478, all 3605 of them, will serve 5647 Me in the land 776; there 8033 I will accept 7521 them and there 8033 I will seek 1875 your contributions 8641 and the choicest 7225 of your gifts 4864, with all 3605 your holy 6944 things 6944.
41 "As a soothing 5207 aroma 7381 I will accept 7521 you when I bring 3318 you out from the peoples 5971 and gather 6908 you from the lands 776 where 834 you are scattered 6327; and I will prove 6942 Myself holy 6942 among you in the sight 5869 of the nations 1471.
42 "And you will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068, when I bring 935 you into the land 127 of Israel 3478, into the land 776 which 834 I swore to give 5414 to your forefathers 1.
43 "There 8033 you will remember 2142 your ways 1870 and all 3605 your deeds 5949 with which 834 you have defiled 2930 yourselves; and you will loathe 6962 yourselves in your own sight 6440 for all 3605 the evil 7451 things 7451 that you have done 6213.
44 "Then you will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068 when I have dealt 6213 with you for My name's 8034 sake 4616, not according to your evil 7451 ways 1870 or according to your corrupt 7843 deeds 5949, O house 1004 of Israel 3478," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.'"
45 ¶ Now the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me, saying 559,
46 "Son 1121 of man 120, set 7760 your face 6440 toward 1870 Teman 8487, and speak 5197 out against 413 the south 1864 and prophesy 5012 against 413 the forest 3293 land 7704 of the Negev 5045,
47 and say 559 to the forest 3293 of the Negev 5045, 'Hear 8085 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068: thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Behold 2009, I am about to kindle 3341 a fire 784 in you, and it will consume 398 every 3605 green 3892 tree 6086 in you, as well as every 3605 dry 3002 tree 6086; the blazing 3852 flame 3852 will not be quenched 3518 and the whole 3605 surface 6440 from south 5045 to north 6828 will be burned 6866 by it.
48 "All 3605 flesh 1320 will see 7200 that I, the LORD 3068, have kindled 1197 it; it shall not be quenched 3518."'"
49 Then I said 559, "Ah 162 Lord 136 GOD 3068! They are saying 559 of me, 'Is he not {just} speaking 4911 parables 4912?'"

Parable of the Sword of the L\{ORD}/

And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
2 "Son 1121 of man 120, set 7760 your face 6440 toward 413 Jerusalem 3389, and speak 5197 against 413 the sanctuaries 4720 and prophesy 5012 against 413 the land 127 of Israel 3478;
3 and say 559 to the land 127 of Israel 3478, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, "Behold 2009, I am against 413 you; and I will draw 3318 My sword 2719 out of its sheath 8593 and cut 3772 off 3772 from you the righteous 6662 and the wicked 7563.
4 "Because 3282 I will cut 3772 off 3772 from you the righteous 6662 and the wicked 7563, therefore 3651 My sword 2719 will go 3318 forth 3318 from its sheath 8593 against 413 all 3605 flesh 1320 from south 5045 {to} north 6828.
5 "Thus all 3605 flesh 1320 will know 3045 that I, the LORD 3068, have drawn 3318 My sword 2719 out of its sheath 8593. It will not return 7725 {to its sheath} again 5750."'
6 "As for you, son 1121 of man 120, groan 584 with breaking 7670 heart 4975 and bitter 4814 grief 4814, groan 584 in their sight 5869.
7 "And when 3588 they say 559 to you, 'Why do you groan 584?' you shall say 559, 'Because 413 of the news 8052 that is coming 935; and every 3605 heart 3820 will melt 4549, all 3605 hands 3027 will be feeble 7503, every 3605 spirit 7307 will faint 3543 and all 3605 knees 1290 will be weak 1980 as water 4325. Behold 2009, it comes 935 and it will happen 1961,' declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068."
8 ¶ Again the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me, saying 559,
9 "Son 1121 of man 120, prophesy 5012 and say 559, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068.' Say 559, 'A sword 2719, a sword 2719 sharpened 2300 And also 1571 polished 4803!
10 'Sharpened 2300 to make 2873 a slaughter 2874, Polished 4803 to flash 1300 like lightning 1300!' Or 176 shall we rejoice 7797, the rod 7626 of My son 1121 despising 3988 every 3605 tree 6086?
11 "It is given 5414 to be polished 4803, that it may be handled 8610; the sword 2719 is sharpened 2300 and polished 4803, to give 5414 it into the hand 3027 of the slayer 2026.
12 "Cry 2199 out and wail 3213, son 1121 of man 120; for it is against My people 5971, it is against all 3605 the officials 5387 of Israel 3478. They are delivered 4048 over to the sword 2719 with My people 5971, therefore 3651 strike 5606 {your} thigh 3409.
13 "For {there is} a testing 976; and what 4100 if 518 even 1571 the rod 7626 which despises 3988 will be no 3808 more?" declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
14 ¶ "You therefore, son 1121 of man 120, prophesy 5012 and clap 5221 {your} hands 3709 together; and let the sword 2719 be doubled 3717 the third 7992 time 7992, the sword 2719 for the slain 2491. It is the sword 2719 for the great 1419 one 1419 slain 2491, which surrounds 2314 them,
15 that {their} hearts 3820 may melt 4127, and many 7235 fall 4383 at all 3605 their gates 8179. I have given 5414 the glittering 19 sword 2719. Ah 253! It is made 6213 {for striking} like lightning 1300, it is wrapped 5844 up {in readiness} for slaughter 2874.
16 "Show 2300 yourself sharp 2300, go 3231 to the right 3231; set 7760 yourself; go 8041 to the left 8041, wherever 575 your edge 6440 is appointed 3259.
17 "I will also 1571 clap 5221 My hands 3709 together, and I will appease 5117 My wrath 2534; I, the LORD 3068, have spoken 1696."

The Instrument of God's Judgment

¶ The word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
19 "As for you, son 1121 of man 120, make 7760 two 8147 ways 1870 for the sword 2719 of the king 4428 of Babylon 894 to come 935; both 8147 of them will go 3318 out of one 259 land 776. And make 1254 a signpost 3027; make 1254 it at the head 7218 of the way 1870 to the city 5892.
20 "You shall mark 7760 a way 1870 for the sword 2719 to come 935 to Rabbah 7237 of the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983, and to Judah 3063 into fortified 1219 Jerusalem 3389.
21 "For the king 4428 of Babylon 894 stands 5975 at the parting 517 of the way 1870, at the head 7218 of the two 8147 ways 1870, to use 7080 divination 7081; he shakes 7043 the arrows 2671, he consults 7592 the household 8655 idols 8655, he looks 7200 at the liver 3516.
22 "Into his right 3225 hand 3225 came 1961 the divination 7081, 'Jerusalem 3389,' to set 7760 battering 3733 rams 3733, to open 6605 the mouth 6310 for slaughter 7524, to lift 7311 up the voice 6963 with a battle 8643 cry 8643, to set 7760 battering 3733 rams 3733 against 5921 the gates 8179, to cast 8210 up ramps 5550, to build 1129 a siege 1785 wall 1785.
23 "And it will be to them like a false 7723 divination 7080 in their eyes 5869; they have {sworn} solemn 7650 oaths 7621. But he brings 2142 iniquity 5771 to remembrance 2142, that they may be seized 8610.
24 ¶ "Therefore 3651, thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'Because 3282 you have made your iniquity 5771 to be remembered 2142, in that your transgressions 6588 are uncovered 1540, so that in all 3605 your deeds 5949 your sins 2403 appear 7200--because 3282 you have come 2142 to remembrance 2142, you will be seized 8610 with the hand 3709.
25 'And you, O slain 2491, wicked 7563 one 7563, the prince 5387 of Israel 3478, whose 834 day 3117 has come 935, in the time 6256 of the punishment 5771 of the end 7093,'
26 thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'Remove 5493 the turban 4701 and take 7311 off 7311 the crown 5850; this 2088 {will} no 3808 longer {be} the same 2088. Exalt 1361 that which 8217 is low 8217 and abase 8213 that which 1364 is high 1364.
27 'A ruin 5754, a ruin 5754, a ruin 5754, I will make 7760 it. This 2088 also 1571 will be no 3808 more until 5704 He comes 935 whose 834 right 4941 it is, and I will give 5414 it {to Him.}'
28 ¶ "And you, son 1121 of man 120, prophesy 5012 and say 559, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 concerning 413 the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983 and concerning 413 their reproach 2781,' and say 559: 'A sword 2719, a sword 2719 is drawn 6605, polished 4803 for the slaughter 2874, to cause it to consume 398, that it may be like lightning 1300--
29 while they see 2372 for you false 7723 visions 7723, while they divine 7080 lies 3577 for you--to place 5414 you on the necks 6677 of the wicked 7563 who 2491 are slain 2491, whose 834 day 3117 has come 935, in the time 6256 of the punishment 5771 of the end 7093.
30 'Return 7725 {it} to its sheath 8593. In the place 4725 where 834 you were created 1254, in the land 776 of your origin 4351, I will judge 8199 you.
31 'I will pour 8210 out My indignation 2195 on you; I will blow 6315 on you with the fire 784 of My wrath 5678, and I will give 5414 you into the hand 3027 of brutal 1197 men 376, skilled 2796 in destruction 4889.
32 'You will be fuel 402 for the fire 784; your blood 1818 will be in the midst 8432 of the land 776. You will not be remembered 2142, for I, the LORD 3068, have spoken 1696.'"

The Sins of Israel

Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me, saying 559,
2 "And you, son 1121 of man 120, will you judge 8199, will you judge 8199 the bloody 1818 city 5892? Then cause her to know 3045 all 3605 her abominations 8441.
3 "You shall say 559, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "A city 5892 shedding 8210 blood 1818 in her midst 8432, so that her time 6256 will come 935, and that makes 6213 idols 1544, contrary 5921 to her {interest,} for defilement 2930!
4 "You have become 816 guilty 816 by the blood 1818 which 834 you have shed 8210, and defiled 2930 by your idols 1544 which 834 you have made 6213. Thus you have brought 7126 your day 3117 near 7126 and have come 935 to your years 8141; therefore I have made 6213 you a reproach 2781 to the nations 1471 and a mocking 7048 to all 3605 the lands 776.
5 "Those who 7138 are near 7138 and those who 7350 are far 7350 from you will mock 7046 you, you of ill 2931 repute 8034, full 7227 of turmoil 4103.
6 ¶ "Behold 2009, the rulers 5387 of Israel 3478, each 376 according to his power 2220, have been 1961 in you for the purpose 4616 of shedding 8210 blood 1818.
7 "They have treated 7043 father 1 and mother 517 lightly 7043 within you. The alien 1616 they have oppressed in your midst 8432; the fatherless 3490 and the widow 490 they have wronged 3238 in you.
8 "You have despised 959 My holy 6944 things 6944 and profaned 2490 My sabbaths 7676.
9 "Slanderous 7400 men 376 have been 1961 in you for the purpose 4616 of shedding 8210 blood 1818, and in you they have eaten 398 at the mountain 2022 {shrines.} In your midst 8432 they have committed 6213 acts 2154 of lewdness 2154.
10 "In you they have uncovered 1540 {their} fathers' 1 nakedness 6172; in you they have humbled 6031 her who 2931 was unclean 2931 in her menstrual 5079 impurity 5079.
11 "One 376 has committed 6213 abomination 8441 with his neighbor's 7453 wife 802 and another 376 has lewdly 2154 defiled 2930 his daughter-in-law 3618. And another 376 in you has humbled 6031 his sister 269, his father's 1 daughter 1323.
12 "In you they have taken 3947 bribes 7810 to shed 8210 blood 1818; you have taken 3947 interest 5392 and profits 8636, and you have injured 1214 your neighbors 7453 for gain 1214 by oppression 6233, and you have forgotten 7911 Me," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
13 ¶ "Behold 2009, then, I smite 5221 My hand 3709 at your dishonest 1215 gain 1215 which 834 you have acquired 6213 and at the bloodshed 1818 which 834 is among 8432 you.
14 "Can your heart 3820 endure 5975, or 518 can your hands 3027 be strong 2388 in the days 3117 that I will deal 6213 with you? I, the LORD 3068, have spoken 1696 and will act 6213.
15 "I will scatter 6327 you among the nations 1471 and I will disperse 2219 you through the lands 776, and I will consume 8552 your uncleanness 2932 from you.
16 "You will profane 2490 yourself in the sight 5869 of the nations 1471, and you will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068."'"
17 ¶ And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me, saying 559,
18 "Son 1121 of man 120, the house 1004 of Israel 3478 has become 1961 dross 5509 to Me; all 3605 of them are bronze 5178 and tin 913 and iron 1270 and lead 5777 in the furnace 3564; they are the dross 5509 of silver 3701.
19 "Therefore 3651, thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'Because 3282 all 3605 of you have become 1961 dross 5509, therefore 3651, behold 2009, I am going to gather 6908 you into the midst 8432 of Jerusalem 3389.
20 'As they gather 6910 silver 3701 and bronze 5178 and iron 1270 and lead 5777 and tin 913 into the furnace 3564 to blow 5301 fire 784 on it in order to melt 5413 {it,} so 3651 I will gather 6908 {you} in My anger 639 and in My wrath 2534 and I will lay 5117 you {there} and melt 5413 you.
21 'I will gather 3664 you and blow 5301 on you with the fire 784 of My wrath 5678, and you will be melted 5413 in the midst 8432 of it.
22 'As silver 3701 is melted 2046 in the furnace 3564, so 3651 you will be melted 5413 in the midst 8432 of it; and you will know 3045 that I, the LORD 3068, have poured 8210 out My wrath 2534 on you.'"
23 ¶ And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me, saying 559,
24 "Son 1121 of man 120, say 559 to her, 'You are a land 776 that is not cleansed 2891 or rained 1652 on in the day 3117 of indignation 2195.'
25 "There is a conspiracy 7195 of her prophets 5030 in her midst 8432 like a roaring 7580 lion 738 tearing 2963 the prey 2964. They have devoured 398 lives 5315; they have taken 3947 treasure 2633 and precious 3366 things 3366; they have made 7235 many 7235 widows 490 in the midst 8432 of her.
26 "Her priests 3548 have done 2554 violence 2554 to My law 8451 and have profaned 2490 My holy 6944 things 6944; they have made 914 no 3808 distinction 914 between 996 the holy 6944 and the profane 2455, and they have not taught 3045 the difference between 996 the unclean 2931 and the clean 2889; and they hide 5956 their eyes 5869 from My sabbaths 7676, and I am profaned 2490 among 8432 them.
27 "Her princes 8269 within 7130 her are like wolves 2061 tearing 2963 the prey 2964, by shedding 8210 blood 1818 {and} destroying 6 lives 5315 in order 4616 to get 1214 dishonest 1214 gain 1215.
28 "Her prophets 5030 have smeared 2902 whitewash 8602 for them, seeing 2372 false 7723 visions 7723 and divining 7080 lies 3577 for them, saying 559, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068,' when the LORD 3068 has not spoken 1696.
29 "The people 5971 of the land 776 have practiced 6231 oppression 6233 and committed 1497 robbery 1498, and they have wronged 3238 the poor 6041 and needy 34 and have oppressed 6231 the sojourner 1616 without 3808 justice 4941.
30 "I searched 1245 for a man 376 among 4480 them who would build 1443 up the wall 1447 and stand 5975 in the gap 6556 before 6440 Me for the land 776, so 1115 that I would not destroy 7843 it; but I found 4672 no 3808 one.
31 "Thus I have poured 8210 out My indignation 2195 on them; I have consumed 3615 them with the fire 784 of My wrath 5678; their way 1870 I have brought 5414 upon their heads 7218," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.

Oholah and Oholibah's Sin and Its Consequences

The word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me again, saying 559,
2 "Son 1121 of man 120, there were two 8147 women 802, the daughters 1323 of one 259 mother 517;
3 and they played 2181 the harlot 2181 in Egypt 4714. They played 2181 the harlot 2181 in their youth 5271; there 8033 their breasts 7699 were pressed 4600 and there 8033 their virgin 1331 bosom 1717 was handled 6213.
4 "Their names 8034 were Oholah 170 the elder 1419 and Oholibah 172 her sister 269. And they became 1961 Mine, and they bore 3205 sons 1121 and daughters 1323. And {as for} their names 8034, Samaria 8111 is Oholah 170 and Jerusalem 3389 is Oholibah 172.
5 ¶ "Oholah 170 played 2181 the harlot 2181 while 8478 she was Mine 8478; and she lusted 5689 after 5921 her lovers 157, after 413 the Assyrians 804, {her} neighbors 7138,
6 who were clothed 3847 in purple 8504, governors 6346 and officials 5461, all 3605 of them desirable 2531 young 970 men 970, horsemen 6571 riding 7392 on horses 5483.
7 "She bestowed 5414 her harlotries 8457 on them, all 3605 of whom {were} the choicest 4005 men 1121 of Assyria 804; and with all 3605 whom 834 she lusted 5689 after, with all 3605 their idols 1544 she defiled 2930 herself.
8 "She did not forsake 5800 her harlotries 8457 from {the time in} Egypt 4714; for in her youth 5271 men had lain 7901 with her, and they handled 6213 her virgin 1331 bosom 1717 and poured 8210 out their lust 8457 on her.
9 "Therefore 3651, I gave 5414 her into the hand 3027 of her lovers 157, into the hand 3027 of the Assyrians, after 5921 whom 834 she lusted 5689.
10 "They uncovered 1540 her nakedness 6172; they took 3947 her sons 1121 and her daughters 1323, but they slew 2026 her with the sword 2719. Thus she became 1961 a byword 8034 among women 802, and they executed 6213 judgments 8196 on her.
11 ¶ "Now her sister 269 Oholibah 172 saw 7200 {this,} yet she was more 4480 corrupt 7843 in her lust 5691 than 4480 she, and her harlotries 8457 were more 4480 than 4480 the harlotries 2183 of her sister 269.
12 "She lusted 5689 after 413 the Assyrians, governors 6346 and officials 5461, the ones 7138 near 7138, magnificently 4358 dressed 3847, horsemen 6571 riding 7392 on horses 5483, all 3605 of them desirable 2531 young 970 men 970.
13 "I saw 7200 that she had defiled 2930 herself; they both 8147 took the same 259 way 1870.
14 "So she increased 3254 her harlotries 8457. And she saw 7200 men 376 portrayed 2707 on the wall 7023, images 6754 of the Chaldeans 3778 portrayed 2710 with vermilion 8350,
15 girded 2289 with belts 232 on their loins 4975, with flowing 5628 turbans 2871 on their heads 7218, all 3605 of them looking 4758 like officers 7991, like 1823 the Babylonians {in} Chaldea 3778, the land 776 of their birth 4138.
16 "When she saw them she lusted 5689 after 5921 them and sent 7971 messengers 4397 to them in Chaldea 3778.
17 "The Babylonians came 935 to her to the bed 4904 of love 1730 and defiled 2930 her with their harlotry 8457. And when she had been 2930 defiled 2930 by them, she became 3363 disgusted 3363 with them.
18 "She uncovered 1540 her harlotries 8457 and uncovered 1540 her nakedness 6172; then I became 3363 disgusted 3363 with her, as I had become 5361 disgusted 5361 with her sister 269.
19 "Yet she multiplied 7235 her harlotries 8457, remembering 2142 the days 3117 of her youth 5271, when 834 she played 2181 the harlot 2181 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
20 "She lusted 5689 after 5921 their paramours 6370, whose 834 flesh 1320 is {like} the flesh 1320 of donkeys 2543 and whose issue 2231 is {like} the issue 2231 of horses 5483.
21 "Thus you longed 6485 for the lewdness 2154 of your youth 5271, when the Egyptians 4714 handled 6213 your bosom 1717 because 4616 of the breasts 7699 of your youth 5271.
22 ¶ "Therefore 3651, O Oholibah 172, thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'Behold 2009 I will arouse 5782 your lovers 157 against 5921 you, from whom 834 you were alienated 5361, and I will bring 935 them against 5921 you from every 5439 side 5439:
23 the Babylonians and all 3605 the Chaldeans 3778, Pekod 6489 and Shoa 7772 and Koa 6970, {and} all 3605 the Assyrians with them; desirable 2531 young 970 men 970, governors 6346 and officials 5461 all 3605 of them, officers 7991 and men 7121 of renown 7121, all 3605 of them riding 7392 on horses 5483.
24 'They will come 935 against 5921 you with weapons 2021, chariots 7393 and wagons 1534, and with a company 6951 of peoples 5971. They will set 7760 themselves against 5921 you on every 5439 side 5439 with buckler 6793 and shield 4043 and helmet 6959; and I will commit 5414 the judgment 4941 to them, and they will judge 8199 you according to their customs 4941.
25 'I will set 5414 My jealousy 7068 against you, that they may deal 6213 with you in wrath 2534. They will remove 5493 your nose 639 and your ears 241; and your survivors 319 will fall 5307 by the sword 2719. They will take 3947 your sons 1121 and your daughters 1323; and your survivors 319 will be consumed 398 by the fire 784.
26 'They will also strip 6584 you of your clothes 899 and take 3947 away your beautiful 8597 jewels 3627.
27 'Thus I will make your lewdness 2154 and your harlotry 2184 {brought} from the land 776 of Egypt 4714 to cease 7673 from you, so that you will not lift 5375 up your eyes 5869 to them or remember 2142 Egypt 4714 anymore 5750.'
28 "For thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'Behold 2009, I will give 5414 you into the hand 3027 of those whom 834 you hate 8130, into the hand 3027 of those from whom 834 you were alienated 5361.
29 'They will deal 6213 with you in hatred 8135, take 3947 all 3605 your property 3018, and leave 5800 you naked 5903 and bare 6181. And the nakedness 6172 of your harlotries 2183 will be uncovered 1540, both your lewdness 2154 and your harlotries 8457.
30 'These 428 things 428 will be done 6213 to you because you have played 2181 the harlot 2181 with the nations 1471, because you have defiled 2930 yourself with their idols 1544.
31 'You have walked 1980 in the way 1870 of your sister 269; therefore I will give 5414 her cup 3563 into your hand 3027.'
32 "Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'You will drink 8354 your sister's 269 cup 3563, Which is deep 6013 and wide 7342. You will be laughed 6712 at and held in derision 3933; It contains 3557 much 4767.
33 'You will be filled 4390 with drunkenness 7943 and sorrow 3015, The cup 3563 of horror 8047 and desolation 8077, The cup 3563 of your sister 269 Samaria 8111.
34 'You will drink 8354 it and drain 4680 it. Then you will gnaw 1633 its fragments 2789 And tear 5423 your breasts 7699; for I have spoken 1696,' declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
35 "Therefore 3651, thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'Because 3282 you have forgotten 7911 Me and cast 7993 Me behind 310 your back 1458, bear 5375 now 1571 the {punishment} of your lewdness 2154 and your harlotries 8457.'"
36 ¶ Moreover, the LORD 3068 said 559 to me, "Son 1121 of man 120, will you judge 8199 Oholah 170 and Oholibah 172? Then declare 5046 to them their abominations 8441.
37 "For they have committed 5003 adultery 5003, and blood 1818 is on their hands 3027. Thus they have committed 5003 adultery 5003 with their idols 1544 and even 1571 caused their sons 1121, whom 834 they bore 3205 to Me, to pass 5674 through 5674 {the fire} to them as food 402.
38 "Again 5750, they have done 6213 this 2088 to Me: they have defiled 2930 My sanctuary 4720 on the same 1931 day 3117 and have profaned 2490 My sabbaths 7676.
39 "For when they had slaughtered 7819 their children 1121 for their idols 1544, they entered 935 My sanctuary 4720 on the same 1931 day 3117 to profane 2490 it; and lo 2009, thus 3541 they did 6213 within 8432 My house 1004.
40 ¶ "Furthermore 637, they have even 3588 sent 7971 for men 376 who come 935 from afar 4801, to whom 834 a messenger 4397 was sent 7971; and lo 2009, they came 935--for whom 834 you bathed 7364, painted 3583 your eyes 5869 and decorated 5710 yourselves 5710 with ornaments 5716;
41 and you sat 3427 on a splendid 3519 couch 4296 with a table 7979 arranged 6186 before 6440 it on which you had set 7760 My incense 7004 and My oil 8081.
42 "The sound 6963 of a carefree 7961 multitude 1995 was with her; and drunkards 5433 were brought 935 from the wilderness 4057 with men 376 of the common sort. And they put 5414 bracelets 6781 on the hands 3027 of the women and beautiful 8597 crowns 5850 on their heads 7218.
43 ¶ "Then I said 559 concerning her who was worn 1087 out by adulteries 5004, 'Will they now 6258 commit 2181 adultery 2181 with her when she is {thus?}'
44 "But they went 935 in to her as they would go 935 in to a harlot 2181. Thus 3651 they went 935 in to Oholah 170 and to Oholibah 172, the lewd 2154 women 802.
45 "But they, righteous 6662 men 376, will judge 8199 them with the judgment 4941 of adulteresses 5003 and with the judgment 4941 of women who shed 8210 blood 1818, because 3588 they are adulteresses 5003 and blood 1818 is on their hands 3027.
46 ¶ "For thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'Bring 5927 up a company 6951 against 5921 them and give 5414 them over to terror 2113 and plunder 957.
47 'The company 6951 will stone 7275 them with stones 68 and cut 1254 them down 1254 with their swords 2719; they will slay 2026 their sons 1121 and their daughters 1323 and burn 8313 their houses 1004 with fire 784.
48 'Thus I will make lewdness 2154 cease 7673 from the land 776, that all 3605 women 802 may be admonished 3256 and not commit 6213 lewdness 2154 as you have done.
49 'Your lewdness 2154 will be requited 5414 upon you, and you will bear 5375 the penalty 2399 of {worshiping} your idols 1544; thus you will know 3045 that I am the Lord 136 GOD 3068.'"

Parable of the Boiling Pot

And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me in the ninth 8671 year 8141, in the tenth 6224 month 2320, on the tenth 6218 of the month 2320, saying 559,
2 "Son 1121 of man 120, write 3789 the name 8034 of the day 3117, this 2088 very 6106 day 3117. The king 4428 of Babylon 894 has laid 5564 siege 5564 to Jerusalem 3389 this 2088 very 6106 day 3117.
3 "Speak 4911 a parable 4912 to the rebellious 4805 house 1004 and say 559 to them, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Put 8239 on the pot 5518, put 8239 {it} on and also 1571 pour 3332 water 4325 in it;
4 Put 622 in it the pieces 5409, Every 3605 good 2896 piece 5409, the thigh 3409 and the shoulder 3802; Fill 4390 {it} with choice 4005 bones 6106.
5 "Take 3947 the choicest 4005 of the flock 6629, And also 1571 pile 1754 wood 6106 under 8478 the pot. Make it boil 7570 vigorously 7571. Also 1571 seethe 1310 its bones 6106 in it."
6 ¶ 'Therefore 3651, thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Woe 188 to the bloody 1818 city 5892, To the pot 5518 in which 834 there is rust 2457 And whose rust 2457 has not gone 3318 out of it! Take 3318 out of it piece 5409 after piece 5409, Without 3808 making 5307 a choice 1486.
7 "For her blood 1818 is in her midst 8432; She placed 7760 it on the bare 6706 rock 5553; She did not pour 8210 it on the ground 776 To cover 3680 it with dust 6083.
8 "That it may cause wrath 2534 to come 5927 up to take 5358 vengeance 5359, I have put 5414 her blood 1818 on the bare 6706 rock 5553, That it may not be covered 3680."
9 'Therefore 3651, thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Woe 188 to the bloody 1818 city 5892! I also 1571 will make 1431 the pile 4071 great 1431.
10 "Heap 7235 on the wood 6086, kindle 1814 the fire 784, Boil 8552 the flesh 1320 well 8552 And mix 7543 in the spices 7543, And let the bones 6106 be burned 2787.
11 "Then set 5975 it empty 7386 on its coals 1513 So 4616 that it may be hot 2552 And its bronze 5178 may glow 2787 And its filthiness 2932 may be melted 5413 in it, Its rust 2457 consumed 8552.
12 "She has wearied 3811 {Me} with toil 8383, Yet her great 7227 rust 2457 has not gone 3318 from her; {Let} her rust 2457 {be} in the fire 784!
13 "In your filthiness 2932 is lewdness 2154. Because 3282 I {would} have cleansed 2891 you, Yet you are not clean 2891, You will not be cleansed 2891 from your filthiness 2932 again 5750 Until 5704 I have spent 5117 My wrath 2534 on you.
14 "I, the LORD 3068, have spoken 1696; it is coming 935 and I will act 6213. I will not relent 6544, and I will not pity 2347 and I will not be sorry 5162; according to your ways 1870 and according to your deeds 5949 I will judge 8199 you," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.'"

Death of Ezekiel's Wife Is a Sign

¶ And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
16 "Son 1121 of man 120, behold 2009, I am about to take 3947 from you the desire 4261 of your eyes 5869 with a blow 4046; but you shall not mourn 5594 and you shall not weep 1058, and your tears 1832 shall not come 935.
17 "Groan 602 silently 1826; make 6213 no 3808 mourning 60 for the dead 4191. Bind 2280 on your turban 6287 and put 7760 your shoes 5275 on your feet 7272, and do not cover 5844 {your} mustache 8222 and do not eat 398 the bread 3899 of men 376."
18 So I spoke 1696 to the people 5971 in the morning 1242, and in the evening 6153 my wife 802 died 4191. And in the morning 1242 I did 6213 as I was commanded 6680.
19 The people 5971 said 559 to me, "Will you not tell 5046 us what 4100 these 428 things 428 that you are doing 6213 mean for us?"
20 Then I said 559 to them, "The word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
21 'Speak 559 to the house 1004 of Israel 3478, "Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'Behold 2009, I am about to profane 2490 My sanctuary 4720, the pride 1347 of your power 5797, the desire 4261 of your eyes 5869 and the delight 4263 of your soul 5315; and your sons 1121 and your daughters 1323 whom 834 you have left 5800 behind 5800 will fall 5307 by the sword 2719.
22 'You will do 6213 as I have done 6213; you will not cover 5844 {your} mustache 8222 and you will not eat 398 the bread 3899 of men 376.
23 'Your turbans 6287 will be on your heads 7218 and your shoes 5275 on your feet 7272. You will not mourn 5594 and you will not weep 1058, but you will rot 4743 away 4743 in your iniquities 5771 and you will groan 5098 to one 376 another 251.
24 'Thus Ezekiel 3168 will be a sign 4159 to you; according to all 3605 that he has done 6213 you will do 6213; when it comes 935, then you will know 3045 that I am the Lord 136 GOD 3068.'"
25 ¶ 'As for you, son 1121 of man 120, will {it} not be on the day 3117 when I take 3947 from them their stronghold 4581, the joy 4885 of their pride 8597, the desire 4261 of their eyes 5869 and their heart's 5315 delight 4853, their sons 1121 and their daughters 1323,
26 that on that day 3117 he who 6412 escapes 6412 will come 935 to you with information 2045 for {your} ears 241?
27 'On that day 3117 your mouth 6310 will be opened 6605 to him who 6412 escaped 6412, and you will speak 1696 and be mute 481 no 3808 longer 5750. Thus you will be a sign 4159 to them, and they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068.'"

Judgment on Gentile Nations--Ammon

And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
2 "Son 1121 of man 120, set 7760 your face 6440 toward 413 the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983 and prophesy 5012 against 5921 them,
3 and say 559 to the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983, 'Hear 8085 the word 1697 of the Lord 136 GOD 3068! Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Because 3282 you said 559, 'Aha 1889!' against 413 My sanctuary 4720 when 3588 it was profaned 2490, and against 413 the land 127 of Israel 3478 when 3588 it was made 8074 desolate 8074, and against 413 the house 1004 of Judah 3063 when 3588 they went 1980 into exile 1473,
4 therefore 3651, behold 2009, I am going to give 5414 you to the sons 1121 of the east 6924 for a possession 4181, and they will set 3427 their encampments 2918 among you and make 5414 their dwellings 4908 among you; they will eat 398 your fruit 6529 and drink 8354 your milk 2461.
5 "I will make 5414 Rabbah 7237 a pasture 5116 for camels 1581 and the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983 a resting 4769 place 4769 for flocks 6629. Thus you will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068."
6 'For thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Because 3282 you have clapped 4222 your hands 3027 and stamped 7554 your feet 7272 and rejoiced 8055 with all 3605 the scorn 7589 of your soul 5315 against 413 the land 127 of Israel 3478,

¶ 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Because 3282 Moab 4124 and Seir 8165 say 559, 'Behold 2009, the house 1004 of Judah 3063 is like all 3605 the nations 1471,'
9 therefore 3651, behold 2009, I am going to deprive 6605 the flank 3802 of Moab 4124 of {its} cities 5892, of its cities 5892 which are on its frontiers 7097, the glory 6643 of the land 776, Beth-jeshimoth 1020, Baal-meon 1186 and Kiriathaim 7156,
10 and I will give 5414 it for a possession 4181 along 5921 with the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983 to the sons 1121 of the east 6924, so 4616 that the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983 will not be remembered 2142 among the nations 1471.

Judgment on Tyre

Now in the eleventh year 8141, on the first 259 of the month 2320, the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
2 "Son 1121 of man 120, because Tyre 6865 has said 559 concerning 5921 Jerusalem 3389, 'Aha 1889, the gateway 1817 of the peoples 5971 is broken 7665; it has opened 5437 to me. I shall be filled 4390, {now that} she is laid 2717 waste 2717,'

4 'They will destroy 7843 the walls 2346 of Tyre 6865 and break 2040 down 2040 her towers 4026; and I will scrape 5500 her debris 6083 from her and make 5414 her a bare 6706 rock 5553.
5 'She will be a place 4894 for the spreading 4894 of nets 2764 in the midst 8432 of the sea 3220, for I have spoken 1696,' declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'and she will become 1961 spoil 957 for the nations 1471.
6 'Also her daughters 1323 who 834 are on the mainland 7704 will be slain 2026 by the sword 2719, and they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068.'"
7 ¶ For thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Behold 2009, I will bring 935 upon Tyre 6865 from the north 6828 Nebuchadnezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894, king 4428 of kings 4428, with horses 5483, chariots 7393, cavalry 6571 and a great 7227 army.
8 "He will slay 2026 your daughters 1323 on the mainland 7704 with the sword 2719; and he will make 5414 siege 1785 walls 1785 against 5921 you, cast 8210 up a ramp 5550 against 5921 you and raise 6965 up a large 6793 shield 6793 against 5921 you.
9 "The blow 4239 of his battering 6904 rams 6904 he will direct 5414 against your walls 2346, and with his axes 2719 he will break 5422 down 5422 your towers 4026.
10 "Because 4480 of the multitude 8229 of his horses 5483, the dust 80 {raised by} them will cover 3680 you; your walls 2346 will shake 7493 at the noise 6963 of cavalry 6571 and wagons 1534 and chariots 7393 when he enters 935 your gates 8179 as men enter 3996 a city 5892 that is breached 1234.
11 "With the hoofs 6541 of his horses 5483 he will trample 7429 all 3605 your streets 2351. He will slay 2026 your people 5971 with the sword 2719; and your strong 5797 pillars 4676 will come 3381 down 3381 to the ground 776.
12 "Also they will make 7997 a spoil 7997 of your riches 2428 and a prey 962 of your merchandise 7404, break 2040 down 2040 your walls 2346 and destroy 5422 your pleasant 2532 houses 1004, and throw 7760 your stones 68 and your timbers 6086 and your debris 6083 into the water 4325.
13 "So I will silence 7673 the sound 1995 of your songs 7892, and the sound 6963 of your harps 3658 will be heard 8085 no 3808 more 5750.
14 "I will make 5414 you a bare 6706 rock 5553; you will be a place 4894 for the spreading 4894 of nets 2764. You will be built 1129 no 3808 more 5750, for I the LORD 3068 have spoken 1696," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
15 ¶ Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 to Tyre 6865, "Shall not the coastlands 339 shake 7493 at the sound 6963 of your fall 4658 when the wounded 2491 groan 602, when the slaughter 2027 occurs 2026 in your midst 8432?
16 "Then all 3605 the princes 5387 of the sea 3220 will go 3381 down 3381 from their thrones 3678, remove 5493 their robes 4598 and strip 6584 off 6584 their embroidered 7553 garments 899. They will clothe 3847 themselves with trembling 2731; they will sit 3427 on the ground 776, tremble 2729 every moment 7281 and be appalled 8074 at you.
17 "They will take 5375 up a lamentation 7015 over 5921 you and say 559 to you, 'How 349 you have perished 6, O inhabited 3427 one, From the seas 3220, O renowned 1984 city 5892, Which 834 was mighty 2389 on the sea 3220, She and her inhabitants 3427, Who 834 imposed 5414 her terror 2851 On all 3605 her inhabitants 3427!
18 'Now 6258 the coastlands 339 will tremble 2729 On the day 3117 of your fall 4658; Yes, the coastlands 339 which 834 are by the sea 3220 Will be terrified 926 at your passing 3318.'"
19 ¶ For thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "When I make 5414 you a desolate 2717 city 5892, like the cities 5892 which 834 are not inhabited 3427, when I bring 5927 up the deep 8415 over 5921 you and the great 7227 waters 4325 cover 3680 you,
20 then I will bring 3381 you down 3381 with those who go 3381 down 3381 to the pit 953, to the people 5971 of old 5769, and I will make you dwell 3427 in the lower 8482 parts 8482 of the earth 776, like the ancient 5769 waste 2723 places 2723, with those who go 3381 down 3381 to the pit 953, so 4616 that you will not be inhabited 3427; but I will set 5414 glory 6643 in the land 776 of the living 2416.
21 "I will bring 5414 terrors 1091 on you and you will be no 369 more 369; though you will be sought 1245, you will never be found 4672 again 5750," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.

Lament over Tyre

Moreover, the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
2 "And you, son 1121 of man 120, take 5375 up a lamentation 7015 over 5921 Tyre 6865;
3 and say 559 to Tyre 6865, who dwells 3427 at the entrance 3996 to the sea 3220, merchant 7402 of the peoples 5971 to many 7227 coastlands 339, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "O Tyre 6865, you have said 559, 'I am perfect 3632 in beauty 3308.'
4 "Your borders 1366 are in the heart 3820 of the seas 3220; Your builders 1129 have perfected 3634 your beauty 3308.
5 "They have made 1129 all 3605 {your} planks 3871 of fir 1265 trees 1265 from Senir 8149; They have taken 3947 a cedar 730 from Lebanon 3844 to make 6213 a mast 8650 for you.
6 "Of oaks 437 from Bashan 1316 they have made 6213 your oars 4880; With ivory 8127 they have inlaid 6213 your deck 7175 of boxwood 839 from the coastlands 339 of Cyprus 3794.
7 "Your sail 4666 was of fine 8336 embroidered 7553 linen 8336 from Egypt 4714 So that it became 1961 your distinguishing 5251 mark 5251; Your awning 4374 was blue 8504 and purple 713 from the coastlands 339 of Elishah 473.
8 "The inhabitants 3427 of Sidon 6721 and Arvad 719 were your rowers 7751; Your wise 2450 men 2450, O Tyre 6865, were aboard; they were your pilots 2259.
9 "The elders 2205 of Gebal 1380 and her wise 2450 men 2450 were with you repairing 2388 your seams 919; All 3605 the ships 591 of the sea 3220 and their sailors 4419 were with you in order to deal 6148 in your merchandise 4627.
10 ¶ "Persia 6539 and Lud 3865 and Put 6316 were in your army 2428, your men 376 of war 4421. They hung 8518 shield 4043 and helmet 3553 in you; they set 5414 forth your splendor 1926.
11 "The sons 1121 of Arvad 719 and your army 2428 were on your walls 2346, {all} around 5439, and the Gammadim 1575 were in your towers 4026. They hung 8518 their shields 7982 on your walls 2346 {all} around 5439; they perfected 3634 your beauty 3308.
12 ¶ "Tarshish 8659 was your customer 5503 because 4480 of the abundance 7230 of all 3605 {kinds} of wealth 1952; with silver 3701, iron 1270, tin 913 and lead 5777 they paid 5414 for your wares 5801.
13 "Javan 3120, Tubal 8422 and Meshech 4902, they were your traders 7402; with the lives 5315 of men 120 and vessels 3627 of bronze 5178 they paid 5414 for your merchandise 4627.
14 "Those from Beth-togarmah gave 5414 horses 5483 and war 6571 horses 6571 and mules 6505 for your wares 5801.
15 "The sons 1121 of Dedan 1719 were your traders 7402. Many 7227 coastlands 339 were your market 5506; ivory 8127 tusks 7161 and ebony 1894 they brought 7725 as your payment 814.
16 "Aram 758 was your customer 5503 because 4480 of the abundance 7230 of your goods 4639; they paid 5414 for your wares 5801 with emeralds 5306, purple 713, embroidered 7553 work 7553, fine 948 linen 948, coral 7215 and rubies 3539.
17 "Judah 3063 and the land 776 of Israel 3478, they were your traders 7402; with the wheat 2406 of Minnith 4511, cakes 6436, honey 1706, oil 8081 and balm 6875 they paid 5414 for your merchandise 4627.
18 "Damascus 1834 was your customer 5503 because of the abundance 7230 of your goods 4639, because 4480 of the abundance 7230 of all 3605 {kinds} of wealth 1952, because of the wine 3196 of Helbon 2463 and white 6713 wool 6785.
19 "Vedan 2051 and Javan 3120 paid 5414 for your wares 5801 from Uzal 187; wrought 6219 iron 1270, cassia 6916 and sweet 7070 cane 7070 were among your merchandise 4627.
20 "Dedan 1719 traded 7402 with you in saddlecloths for riding 7396.
21 "Arabia 6152 and all 3605 the princes 5387 of Kedar 6938, they were your customers 5503 for lambs 3733, rams 352 and goats 6260; for these they were your customers 5503.
22 "The traders 7402 of Sheba 7614 and Raamah 7484, they traded 7402 with you; they paid 5414 for your wares 5801 with the best 7218 of all 3605 {kinds} of spices 1314, and with all 3605 {kinds} of precious 3368 stones 68 and gold 2091.
23 "Haran 2771, Canneh 3656, Eden 5729, the traders 7402 of Sheba 7614, Asshur 804 {and} Chilmad 3638 traded 7402 with you.
24 "They traded 7402 with you in choice 4360 garments 4360, in clothes 1545 of blue 8504 and embroidered 7553 work 7553, and in carpets 1595 of many 1264 colors 1264 {and} tightly 723 wound 2280 cords 2256, {which were} among your merchandise 4819.
25 "The ships 591 of Tarshish 8659 were the carriers 7788 for your merchandise 4627. And you were filled 4390 and were very 3966 glorious 3513 In the heart 3820 of the seas 3220.
26 ¶ "Your rowers 7751 have brought 935 you Into great 7227 waters 4325; The east 6921 wind 7307 has broken 7665 you In the heart 3820 of the seas 3220.
27 "Your wealth 1952, your wares 5801, your merchandise 4627, Your sailors 4419 and your pilots 2259, Your repairers 2388 of seams 919, your dealers 6148 in merchandise 4627 And all 3605 your men 376 of war 4421 who 834 are in you, With all 3605 your company 6951 that is in your midst 8432, Will fall 5307 into the heart 3820 of the seas 3220 On the day 3117 of your overthrow 4658.
28 "At the sound 6963 of the cry 2201 of your pilots 2259 The pasture 4054 lands 4054 will shake 7493.
29 "All 3605 who handle 8610 the oar 4880, The sailors 4419 {and} all 3605 the pilots 2259 of the sea 3220 Will come 3381 down 3381 from their ships 591; They will stand 5975 on the land 776,
30 And they will make 8085 their voice 6963 heard 8085 over 5921 you And will cry 2199 bitterly 4751. They will cast 5927 dust 6083 on their heads 7218, They will wallow 6428 in ashes 665.
31 "Also they will make 7139 themselves bald for you And gird 2296 themselves with sackcloth 8242; And they will weep 1058 for you in bitterness 4751 of soul 5315 With bitter 4751 mourning 4553.
32 "Moreover, in their wailing 5092 they will take 5375 up a lamentation 7015 for you And lament 6969 over 5921 you: 'Who 4310 is like Tyre 6865, Like her who 1822 is silent 1822 in the midst 8432 of the sea 3220?
33 'When your wares 5801 went 3318 out from the seas 3220, You satisfied 7646 many 7227 peoples 5971; With the abundance 7230 of your wealth 1952 and your merchandise 4627 You enriched 6238 the kings 4428 of earth 776.
34 'Now 6256 that you are broken 7665 by the seas 3220 In the depths 4615 of the waters 4325, Your merchandise 4627 and all 3605 your company 6951 Have fallen 5307 in the midst 8432 of you.
35 'All 3605 the inhabitants 3427 of the coastlands 339 Are appalled 8074 at you, And their kings 4428 are horribly 8178 afraid 8175; They are troubled 7481 in countenance 6440.
36 'The merchants 5503 among the peoples 5971 hiss 8319 at you; You have become 1961 terrified 1091 And you will cease 369 to be forever.'"'"

Tyre's King Overthrown

The word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 again to me, saying 559,
2 "Son 1121 of man 120, say 559 to the leader 5057 of Tyre 6865, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Because 3282 your heart 3820 is lifted 1361 up And you have said 559, 'I am a god 410, I sit 3427 in the seat 4186 of gods 430 In the heart 3820 of the seas 3220'; Yet you are a man 120 and not God 410, Although you make 5414 your heart 3820 like the heart 3820 of God 430--
3 Behold 2009, you are wiser 2450 than 4480 Daniel 1840; There is no secret 5640 that is a match 6004 for you.
4 "By your wisdom 2451 and understanding 8394 You have acquired 6213 riches 2428 for yourself And have acquired 6213 gold 2091 and silver 3701 for your treasuries 214.
5 "By your great 7230 wisdom 2451, by your trade 7404 You have increased 7235 your riches 2428 And your heart 3824 is lifted 1361 up because of your riches 2428--
6 Therefore 3651 thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'Because 3282 you have made 5414 your heart 3824 Like the heart 3820 of God 430,
7 Therefore 3651, behold 2009, I will bring 935 strangers 2114 upon you, The most 6184 ruthless 6184 of the nations 1471. And they will draw 7385 their swords 2719 Against 5921 the beauty 3308 of your wisdom 2451 And defile 2490 your splendor 3314.
8 'They will bring 3381 you down 3381 to the pit 7845, And you will die 4191 the death 4463 of those who are slain 2491 In the heart 3820 of the seas 3220.
9 'Will you still 559 say 559, "I am a god 430," In the presence 6440 of your slayer 2026, Though you are a man 120 and not God 410, In the hands 3027 of those who wound 2490 you?
10 'You will die 4191 the death 4194 of the uncircumcised 6189 By the hand 3027 of strangers 2114, For I have spoken 1696!' declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068!"'"
11 ¶ Again the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
12 "Son 1121 of man 120, take 5375 up a lamentation 7015 over 5921 the king 4428 of Tyre 6865 and say 559 to him, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "You had the seal 2856 of perfection 8508, Full 4392 of wisdom 2451 and perfect 3632 in beauty 3308.
13 "You were in Eden 5731, the garden 1588 of God 430; Every 3605 precious 3368 stone 68 was your covering 4540: The ruby 124, the topaz 6357 and the diamond 3095; The beryl 8658, the onyx 7718 and the jasper 3471; The lapis 5601 lazuli 5601, the turquoise 5306 and the emerald 1304; And the gold 2091, the workmanship 4399 of your settings 8596 and sockets 5345, Was in you. On the day 3117 that you were created 1254 They were prepared 3559.
14 "You were the anointed 4473 cherub 3742 who covers 5526, And I placed 5414 you {there.} You were on the holy 6944 mountain 2022 of God 430; You walked 1980 in the midst 8432 of the stones 68 of fire 784.
15 "You were blameless 8549 in your ways 1870 From the day 3117 you were created 1254 Until 5704 unrighteousness 5767 was found 4672 in you.
16 "By the abundance 7230 of your trade 7404 You were internally 8432 filled 4390 with violence 2555, And you sinned 2398; Therefore I have cast 2490 you as profane 2490 From the mountain 2022 of God 430. And I have destroyed 6 you, O covering 5526 cherub 3742, From the midst 8432 of the stones 68 of fire 784.
17 "Your heart 3820 was lifted 1361 up because of your beauty 3308; You corrupted 7843 your wisdom 2451 by reason 5921 of your splendor 3314. I cast 7993 you to the ground 776; I put 5414 you before 6440 kings 4428, That they may see 7200 you.
18 "By the multitude 7230 of your iniquities 5771, In the unrighteousness 5766 of your trade 7404 You profaned 2490 your sanctuaries 4720. Therefore I have brought 3318 fire 784 from the midst 8432 of you; It has consumed 398 you, And I have turned 5414 you to ashes 665 on the earth 776 In the eyes 5869 of all 3605 who see 7200 you.
19 "All 3605 who know 3045 you among the peoples 5971 Are appalled 8074 at you; You have become 1961 terrified 1091 And you will cease 369 to be forever."'"

Judgment of Sidon

¶ And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,

Then they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068 when I execute 6213 judgments 8201 in her, And I will manifest 6942 My holiness 6942 in her.
23 "For I will send 7971 pestilence 1698 to her And blood 1818 to her streets 2351, And the wounded 2491 will fall 5307 in her midst 8432 By the sword 2719 upon her on every 5439 side 5439; Then they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068.
24 "And there will be no 3808 more 5750 for the house 1004 of Israel 3478 a prickling 3992 brier 5544 or a painful 3510 thorn 6975 from any 3605 round 5439 about 5439 them who scorned 7751 them; then they will know 3045 that I am the Lord 136 GOD 3068."

Israel Regathered

¶ 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "When I gather 6908 the house 1004 of Israel 3478 from the peoples 5971 among whom 834 they are scattered 6327, and will manifest 6942 My holiness 6942 in them in the sight 5869 of the nations 1471, then they will live 3427 in their land 127 which 834 I gave 5414 to My servant 5650 Jacob 3290.
26 "They will live 3427 in it securely 983; and they will build 1129 houses 1004, plant 5193 vineyards 3754 and live 3427 securely 983 when I execute 6213 judgments 8201 upon all 3605 who scorn 7751 them round 5439 about 5439 them. Then they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068 their God 430."'"

In the tenth 6224 year 8141, in the tenth 6224 {month,} on the twelfth of the month 2320, the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
2 "Son 1121 of man 120, set 7760 your face 6440 against 5921 Pharaoh 6547 king 4428 of Egypt 4714 and prophesy 5012 against 5921 him and against 5921 all 3605 Egypt 4714.
3 "Speak 1696 and say 559, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Behold 2009, I am against 5921 you, Pharaoh 6547 king 4428 of Egypt 4714, The great 1419 monster 8577 that lies 7257 in the midst 8432 of his rivers 2975, That has said 559, 'My Nile 2975 is mine, and I myself 589 have made 6213 {it.}'
4 "I will put 5414 hooks 2397 in your jaws 3895 And make the fish 1710 of your rivers 2975 cling 1692 to your scales 7193. And I will bring 5927 you up out of the midst 8432 of your rivers 2975, And all 3605 the fish 1710 of your rivers 2975 will cling 1692 to your scales 7193.
5 "I will abandon 5203 you to the wilderness 4057, you and all 3605 the fish 1710 of your rivers 2975; You will fall 5307 on the open 6440 field 7704; you will not be brought 622 together 622 or gathered 6908. I have given 5414 you for food 402 to the beasts 2421 of the earth 776 and to the birds 5775 of the sky 8064.
6 "Then all 3605 the inhabitants 3427 of Egypt 4714 will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068, Because 3282 they have been 1961 {only} a staff 4938 {made} of reed 7070 to the house 1004 of Israel 3478.
7 "When they took 8610 hold 8610 of you with the hand 3709, You broke 7533 and tore 1234 all 3605 their hands 3802; And when they leaned 8172 on you, You broke 7665 and made all 3605 their loins 4975 quake 5975."
8 ¶ 'Therefore 3651 thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Behold 2009, I will bring 935 upon you a sword 2719 and I will cut 3772 off 3772 from you man 120 and beast 929.
9 "The land 776 of Egypt 4714 will become 1961 a desolation 8077 and waste 2723. Then they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068.
10 ¶ therefore 3651, behold 2009, I am against 413 you and against 413 your rivers 2975, and I will make 5414 the land 776 of Egypt 4714 an utter 2721 waste 2721 and desolation 8077, from Migdol 4024 {to} Syene 5482 and even to the border 1366 of Ethiopia 3568.
11 "A man's 120 foot 7272 will not pass 5674 through it, and the foot 7272 of a beast 929 will not pass 5674 through it, and it will not be inhabited 3427 for forty 705 years 8141.
12 "So I will make 5414 the land 776 of Egypt 4714 a desolation 8077 in the midst 8432 of desolated 8074 lands 776. And her cities 5892, in the midst 8432 of cities 5892 that are laid 2717 waste 2717, will be desolate 8077 forty 705 years 8141; and I will scatter 6327 the Egyptians 4714 among the nations 1471 and disperse 2219 them among the lands 776."
13 ¶ 'For thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "At the end 7093 of forty 705 years 8141 I will gather 6908 the Egyptians 4714 from the peoples 5971 among whom they were scattered 6327.
14 "I will turn 7725 the fortunes 7622 of Egypt 4714 and make 7725 them return 7725 to the land 776 of Pathros 6624, to the land 776 of their origin 4351, and there 8033 they will be a lowly 8217 kingdom 4467.
15 "It will be the lowest 8217 of the kingdoms 4467, and it will never 3808 again 5750 lift 5375 itself up above 5921 the nations 1471. And I will make 4591 them so small 4591 that they will not rule 7287 over 5921 the nations 1471.
16 "And it will never 3808 again 5750 be the confidence 4009 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478, bringing 2142 to mind 2142 the iniquity 5771 of their having turned 6437 to Egypt. Then they will know 3045 that I am the Lord 136 GOD 3068."'"
17 ¶ Now in the twenty-seventh year 8141, in the first 7223 {month,} on the first 259 of the month 2320, the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
18 "Son 1121 of man 120, Nebuchadnezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894 made his army 2428 labor 5656 hard 1419 against 413 Tyre 6865; every 3605 head 7218 was made 7139 bald 7139 and every 3605 shoulder 3802 was rubbed 4803 bare 4803. But he and his army 2428 had 1961 no 3808 wages 7939 from Tyre 6865 for the labor 5656 that he had performed 5647 against 5921 it."
19 Therefore 3651 thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Behold 2009, I will give 5414 the land 776 of Egypt 4714 to Nebuchadnezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894. And he will carry 5375 off 5375 her wealth 1995 and capture 7997 her spoil 7998 and seize 962 her plunder 957; and it will be wages 7939 for his army 2428.
20 "I have given 5414 him the land 776 of Egypt 4714 {for} his labor 6468 which 834 he performed 5647, because 834 they acted 6213 for Me," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
21 ¶ "On that day 3117 I will make a horn 7161 sprout 6779 for the house 1004 of Israel 3478, and I will open your mouth 6310 in their midst 8432. Then they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068."

Lament over Egypt

The word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 again to me saying 559,
2 "Son 1121 of man 120, prophesy 5012 and say 559, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Wail 3213, 'Alas 1929 for the day 3117!'
3 "For the day 3117 is near 7138, Even the day 3117 of the LORD 3068 is near 7138; It will be a day 3117 of clouds 6051, A time 6256 {of doom} for the nations 1471.
4 "A sword 2719 will come 935 upon Egypt 4714, And anguish 2479 will be in Ethiopia 3568; When the slain 2491 fall 5307 in Egypt 4714, They take 3947 away her wealth 1995, And her foundations 3247 are torn 2040 down 2040.
5 "Ethiopia 3568, Put 6316, Lud 3865, all 3605 Arabia 6152, Libya 3864 and the people 1121 of the land 776 that is in league 1285 will fall 5307 with them by the sword 2719."
6 ¶ 'Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, "Indeed, those who support 5564 Egypt 4714 will fall 5307 And the pride 1347 of her power 5797 will come 3381 down 3381; From Migdol 4024 {to} Syene 5482 They will fall 5307 within her by the sword 2719," Declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
7 "They will be desolate 8074 In the midst 8432 of the desolated 8074 lands 776; And her cities 5892 will be In the midst 8432 of the devastated 2717 cities 5892.
8 "And they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068, When I set 5414 a fire 784 in Egypt 4714 And all 3605 her helpers 5826 are broken 7665.
9 "On that day 3117 messengers 4397 will go 3318 forth 3318 from Me in ships 6716 to frighten 2729 secure 983 Ethiopia 3568; and anguish 2479 will be on them as on the day 3117 of Egypt 4714; for behold 2009, it comes 935!"
10 ¶ 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "I will also make the hordes 1995 of Egypt 4714 cease 7673 By the hand 3027 of Nebuchadnezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894.
11 "He and his people 5971 with him, The most 6184 ruthless 6184 of the nations 1471, Will be brought 935 in to destroy 7843 the land 776; And they will draw 7385 their swords 2719 against 5921 Egypt 4714 And fill 4390 the land 776 with the slain 2491.
12 "Moreover, I will make 5414 the Nile 2975 canals 2975 dry 2724 And sell 4376 the land 776 into the hands 3027 of evil 7451 men 7451. And I will make 8074 the land 776 desolate 8074 And all 4393 that is in it, By the hand 3027 of strangers 2114; I the LORD 3068 have spoken 1696."
13 ¶ 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "I will also destroy 6 the idols 1544 And make the images 457 cease 7673 from Memphis 5297. And there will no 3808 longer 5750 be a prince 5387 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714; And I will put 5414 fear 3374 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
14 "I will make 8074 Pathros 6624 desolate 8074, Set 5414 a fire 784 in Zoan 6814 And execute 6213 judgments 8201 on Thebes 4996.
15 "I will pour 8210 out My wrath 2534 on Sin 5512, The stronghold 4581 of Egypt 4714; I will also cut 3772 off 3772 the hordes 1995 of Thebes 4996.
16 "I will set 5414 a fire 784 in Egypt 4714; Sin 5512 will writhe 2342 in anguish 2342, Thebes 4996 will be breached 1234 And Memphis 5297 {will have} distresses 6862 daily 3119.
17 "The young 970 men 970 of On 204 and of Pi-beseth 6364 Will fall 5307 by the sword 2719, And the women 1992 will go 1980 into captivity 7628.
18 "In Tehaphnehes 8471 the day 3117 will be dark 2821 When I break 7665 there 8033 the yoke 4133 bars 4133 of Egypt 4714. Then the pride 1347 of her power 5797 will cease 7673 in her; A cloud 6051 will cover 3680 her, And her daughters 1323 will go 1980 into captivity 7628.
19 "Thus I will execute 6213 judgments 8201 on Egypt 4714, And they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068."'"

Victory for Babylon

¶ In the eleventh year 8141, in the first 7223 {month,} on the seventh 7651 of the month 2320, the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
21 "Son 1121 of man 120, I have broken 7665 the arm 2220 of Pharaoh 6547 king 4428 of Egypt 4714; and, behold 2009, it has not been bound 2280 up for healing 7499 or wrapped 2280 with a bandage 2848, that it may be strong 2388 to hold 8610 the sword 2719.
22 "Therefore 3651 thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'Behold 2009, I am against 413 Pharaoh 6547 king 4428 of Egypt 4714 and will break 7665 his arms 2220, both the strong 2389 and the broken 7665; and I will make the sword 2719 fall 5307 from his hand 3027.
23 'I will scatter 6327 the Egyptians 4714 among the nations 1471 and disperse 2219 them among the lands 776.
24 'For I will strengthen 2388 the arms 2220 of the king 4428 of Babylon 894 and put 5414 My sword 2719 in his hand 3027; and I will break 7665 the arms 2220 of Pharaoh 6547, so that he will groan 5008 before 6440 him with the groanings 5009 of a wounded 2491 man 2491.
25 'Thus I will strengthen 2388 the arms 2220 of the king 4428 of Babylon 894, but the arms 2220 of Pharaoh 6547 will fall 5307. Then they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068, when I put 5414 My sword 2719 into the hand 3027 of the king 4428 of Babylon 894 and he stretches 5186 it out against 413 the land 776 of Egypt 4714.
26 'When I scatter 6327 the Egyptians 4714 among the nations 1471 and disperse 2219 them among the lands 776, then they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068.'"

Pharaoh Warned of Assyria's Fate

In the eleventh year 8141, in the third 7992 {month,} on the first 259 of the month 2320, the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
2 "Son 1121 of man 120, say 559 to Pharaoh 6547 king 4428 of Egypt 4714 and to his hordes 1995, 'Whom are you like 1819 in your greatness 1433?
3 'Behold 2009, Assyria 804 {was} a cedar 730 in Lebanon 3844 With beautiful 3303 branches 6057 and forest 2793 shade 6751, And very 6967 high 6967, And its top 6788 was among 996 the clouds 5645.
4 'The waters 4325 made it grow 1431, the deep 8415 made 7311 it high 7311. With its rivers 5104 it continually extended 1980 all 5439 around 5439 its planting 4302 place 4302, And sent 7971 out its channels 8585 to all 3605 the trees 6086 of the field 7704.
5 'Therefore its height 6967 was loftier 1361 than 4480 all 3605 the trees 6086 of the field 7704 And its boughs 5634 became 7235 many 7235 and its branches 6288 long 748 Because 4480 of many 7227 waters 4325 as it spread 7971 them out.
6 'All 3605 the birds 5775 of the heavens 8064 nested 7077 in its boughs 5589, And under 8478 its branches 6288 all 3605 the beasts 2421 of the field 7704 gave 3205 birth 3205, And all 3605 great 7227 nations 1471 lived 3427 under its shade 6738.
7 'So it was beautiful 3302 in its greatness 1433, in the length 753 of its branches 1808; For its roots 8328 extended 1961 to many 7227 waters 4325.
8 'The cedars 730 in God's 430 garden 1588 could not match 6004 it; The cypresses 1265 could not compare 1819 with its boughs 5589, And the plane 6196 trees 6196 could not match its branches 6288. No tree 6086 in God's 430 garden 1588 could compare 1819 with it in its beauty 3308.
9 'I made 6213 it beautiful 3303 with the multitude 7230 of its branches 1808, And all 3605 the trees 6086 of Eden 5731, which 834 were in the garden 1588 of God 430, were jealous 7065 of it.
10 ¶ 'Therefore 3651 thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Because it is high 1361 in stature 6967 and has set 5414 its top 6788 among 996 the clouds 5645, and its heart 3824 is haughty 7311 in its loftiness 1363,
11 therefore I will give 5414 it into the hand 3027 of a despot 352 of the nations 1471; he will thoroughly 6213 deal 6213 with it. According to its wickedness 7562 I have driven 1644 it away 1644.
12 "Alien 2114 tyrants 6184 of the nations 1471 have cut 3772 it down 3772 and left 5203 it; on the mountains 2022 and in all 3605 the valleys 1516 its branches 1808 have fallen 5307 and its boughs 6288 have been broken 7665 in all 3605 the ravines 650 of the land 776. And all 3605 the peoples 5971 of the earth 776 have gone 3381 down 3381 from its shade 6738 and left 5203 it.
13 "On its ruin 4658 all 3605 the birds 5775 of the heavens 8064 will dwell 7931, and all 3605 the beasts 2421 of the field 7704 will be on its {fallen} branches 6288
14 so 4616 that all 3605 the trees 6086 by the waters 4325 may not be exalted 1361 in their stature 6967, nor 3808 set 5414 their top 6788 among 996 the clouds 5645, nor 3808 their well-watered 8354 mighty 352 ones stand 5975 {erect} in their height 6967. For they have all 3605 been given 5414 over to death 4194, to the earth 776 beneath 8482, among 8432 the sons 1121 of men 120, with those who go 3381 down 3381 to the pit 953."
15 ¶ 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "On the day 3117 when it went 3381 down 3381 to Sheol 7585 I caused 56 lamentations 56; I closed 3680 the deep 8415 over 5921 it and held 4513 back 4513 its rivers 5104. And {its} many 7227 waters 4325 were stopped 3607 up, and I made Lebanon 3844 mourn 6937 for it, and all 3605 the trees 6086 of the field 7704 wilted 5968 away 5968 on account 5921 of it.
16 "I made the nations 1471 quake 7493 at the sound 6963 of its fall 4658 when I made it go 3381 down 3381 to Sheol 7585 with those who go 3381 down 3381 to the pit 953; and all 3605 the well-watered 8354 trees 6086 of Eden 5731, the choicest 4005 and best 2896 of Lebanon 3844, were comforted 5162 in the earth 776 beneath 8482.
17 "They also 1571 went 3381 down 3381 with it to Sheol 7585 to those who were slain 2491 by the sword 2719; and those who were its strength 2220 lived 3427 under its shade 6738 among 8432 the nations 1471.
18 ¶ "To which 4310 among the trees 6086 of Eden 5731 are you thus 3602 equal 1819 in glory 3519 and greatness 1433? Yet you will be brought 3381 down 3381 with the trees 6086 of Eden 5731 to the earth 776 beneath 8482; you will lie 7901 in the midst 8432 of the uncircumcised 6189, with those who were slain 2491 by the sword 2719. So is Pharaoh 6547 and all 3605 his hordes 1995!"' declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068."

Lament over Pharaoh and Egypt

In the twelfth year 8141, in the twelfth {month,} on the first 259 of the month 2320, the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
2 "Son 1121 of man 120, take 5375 up a lamentation 7015 over 5921 Pharaoh 6547 king 4428 of Egypt 4714 and say 559 to him, 'You compared 1819 yourself to a young 3715 lion 3715 of the nations 1471, Yet you are like the monster 8577 in the seas 3220; And you burst 1518 forth 1518 in your rivers 5104 And muddied 1804 the waters 4325 with your feet 7272 And fouled 7511 their rivers 5104.'"
3 ¶ Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Now I will spread 6566 My net 7568 over 5921 you With a company 6951 of many 7227 peoples 5971, And they shall lift 5927 you up in My net 2764.
4 "I will leave 5203 you on the land 776; I will cast 2904 you on the open 6440 field 7704. And I will cause all 3605 the birds 5775 of the heavens 8064 to dwell 7931 on you, And I will satisfy 7646 the beasts 2421 of the whole 3605 earth 776 with you.
5 "I will lay 5414 your flesh 1320 on the mountains 2022 And fill 4390 the valleys 1516 with your refuse 7419.
6 "I will also make the land 776 drink 8248 the discharge 6824 of your blood 1818 As far 413 as the mountains 2022, And the ravines 650 will be full 4390 of you.
7 "And when {I} extinguish 3518 you, I will cover 3680 the heavens 8064 and darken 6937 their stars 3556; I will cover 3680 the sun 8121 with a cloud 6051 And the moon 3394 will not give 215 its light 216.
8 "All 3605 the shining 3974 lights 216 in the heavens 8064 I will darken 6937 over 5921 you And will set 5414 darkness 2822 on your land 776," Declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
9 "I will also trouble 3707 the hearts 3820 of many 7227 peoples 5971 when I bring 935 your destruction 7667 among the nations 1471, into lands 776 which 834 you have not known 3045.
10 "I will make 8074 many 7227 peoples 5971 appalled 8074 at you, and their kings 4428 will be horribly 8178 afraid 8175 of you when I brandish 5774 My sword 2719 before them; and they will tremble 2729 every moment 7281, every 376 man 376 for his own life 5315, on the day 3117 of your fall 4658."
11 ¶ For thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "The sword 2719 of the king 4428 of Babylon 894 will come 935 upon you.
12 "By the swords 2719 of the mighty 1368 ones 1368 I will cause your hordes 1995 to fall 5307; all 3605 of them are tyrants 6184 of the nations 1471, And they will devastate 7703 the pride 1347 of Egypt 4714, And all 3605 its hordes 1995 will be destroyed 8045.
13 "I will also destroy 6 all 3605 its cattle 929 from beside 5921 many 7227 waters 4325; And the foot 7272 of man 120 will not muddy 1804 them anymore 5750 And the hoofs 6541 of beasts 929 will not muddy 1804 them.
14 "Then 227 I will make their waters 4325 settle 8257 And will cause their rivers 5104 to run 1980 like oil 8081," Declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
15 "When I make 5414 the land 776 of Egypt 4714 a desolation 8077, And the land 776 is destitute 8074 of that which 4393 filled 4393 it, When I smite 5221 all 3605 those who live 3427 in it, Then they shall know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068.
16 "This 1931 is a lamentation 7015 and they shall chant 6969 it. The daughters 1323 of the nations 1471 shall chant 6969 it. Over 5921 Egypt 4714 and over 5921 all 3605 her hordes 1995 they shall chant 6969 it," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
17 ¶ In the twelfth year 8141, on the fifteenth of the month 2320, the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
18 "Son 1121 of man 120, wail 5091 for the hordes 1995 of Egypt 4714 and bring 3381 it down 3381, her and the daughters 1323 of the powerful 117 nations 1471, to the nether 8482 world 776, with those who go 3381 down 3381 to the pit 953;
19 'Whom 4310 do you surpass 5276 in beauty 5276? Go 3381 down 3381 and make 7901 your bed 7901 with the uncircumcised 6189.'
20 "They shall fall 5307 in the midst 8432 of those who are slain 2491 by the sword 2719. She is given 5414 over to the sword 2719; they have drawn 4900 her and all 3605 her hordes 1995 away 4900.
21 "The strong 410 among the mighty 1368 ones 1368 shall speak 1696 of him {and} his helpers 1368 from the midst 8432 of Sheol 7585, 'They have gone 3381 down 3381, they lie 7901 still 7901, the uncircumcised 6189, slain 2491 by the sword 2719.'
22 ¶ "Assyria 804 is there 8033 and all 3605 her company 6951; her graves 6913 are round 5439 about 5439 her. All 3605 of them are slain 2491, fallen 5307 by the sword 2719,
23 whose 834 graves 6913 are set 5414 in the remotest 3411 parts 3411 of the pit 953 and her company 6951 is round 5439 about 5439 her grave 6900. All 3605 of them are slain 2491, fallen 5307 by the sword 2719, who 834 spread 5414 terror 2851 in the land 776 of the living 2416.
24 ¶ "Elam 5867 is there 8033 and all 3605 her hordes 1995 around 5439 her grave 6900; all 3605 of them slain 2491, fallen 5307 by the sword 2719, who 834 went 3381 down 3381 uncircumcised 6189 to the lower 8482 parts 8482 of the earth 776, who 834 instilled 5414 their terror 2851 in the land 776 of the living 2416 and bore 5375 their disgrace 3639 with those who went 3381 down 3381 to the pit 953.
25 "They have made 5414 a bed 4904 for her among 8432 the slain 2491 with all 3605 her hordes 1995. Her graves 6913 are around 5439 it, they are all 3605 uncircumcised 6189, slain 2491 by the sword 2719 (although 3588 their terror 2851 was instilled 5414 in the land 776 of the living 2416), and they bore 5375 their disgrace 3639 with those who go 3381 down 3381 to the pit 953; they were put 5414 in the midst 8432 of the slain 2491.
26 ¶ "Meshech 4902, Tubal 8422 and all 3605 their hordes 1995 are there 8033; their graves 6913 surround 5439 them. All 3605 of them were slain 2490 by the sword 2719 uncircumcised 6189, though 3588 they instilled 5414 their terror 2851 in the land 776 of the living 2416.
27 "Nor 3808 do they lie 7901 beside 854 the fallen 5307 heroes 1368 of the uncircumcised 6189, who 834 went 3381 down 3381 to Sheol 7585 with their weapons 3627 of war 4421 and whose swords 2719 were laid 5414 under 8478 their heads 7218; but the punishment 5771 for their iniquity 5771 rested 1961 on their bones 6106, though 3588 the terror 2851 of {these} heroes 1368 {was once} in the land 776 of the living 2416.
28 "But in the midst 8432 of the uncircumcised 6189 you will be broken 7665 and lie 7901 with those slain 2491 by the sword 2719.
29 ¶ "There 8033 also is Edom 112, its kings 4428 and all 3605 its princes 5387, who 834 for {all} their might 1369 are laid 5414 with those slain 2491 by the sword 2719; they will lie 7901 with the uncircumcised 6189 and with those who go 3381 down 3381 to the pit 953.
30 ¶ "There 8033 also are the chiefs 5257 of the north 6828, all 3605 of them, and all 3605 the Sidonians 6722, who 834 in spite of the terror 2851 resulting from their might 1369, in shame 954 went 3381 down 3381 with the slain 2491. So they lay 7901 down 7901 uncircumcised 6189 with those slain 2491 by the sword 2719 and bore 5375 their disgrace 3639 with those who go 3381 down 3381 to the pit 953.
31 ¶ "These Pharaoh 6547 will see 7200, and he will be comforted 5162 for all 3605 his hordes 1995 slain 2491 by the sword 2719, {even} Pharaoh 6547 and all 3605 his army 2428," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
32 "Though 3588 I instilled 5414 a terror 2851 of him in the land 776 of the living 2416, yet he will be made to lie 7901 down 7901 among 8432 {the} uncircumcised 6189 {along} with those slain 2491 by the sword 2719, {even} Pharaoh 6547 and all 3605 his hordes 1995," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.

The Watchman's Duty

And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me, saying 559,
2 "Son 1121 of man 120, speak 1696 to the sons 1121 of your people 5971 and say 559 to them, 'If 3588 I bring 935 a sword 2719 upon a land 776, and the people 5971 of the land 776 take 3947 one 259 man 376 from among 7097 them and make 5414 him their watchman 6822,
3 and he sees 7200 the sword 2719 coming 935 upon the land 776 and blows 8628 on the trumpet 7782 and warns 2094 the people 5971,
4 then he who hears 8085 the sound 6963 of the trumpet 7782 and does not take 2094 warning 2094, and a sword 2719 comes 935 and takes 3947 him away, his blood 1818 will be on his {own} head 7218.
5 'He heard 8085 the sound 6963 of the trumpet 7782 but did not take 2094 warning 2094; his blood 1818 will be on himself. But had he taken 2094 warning 2094, he would have delivered 4422 his life 5315.
6 'But if 3588 the watchman 6822 sees 7200 the sword 2719 coming 935 and does not blow 8628 the trumpet 7782 and the people 5971 are not warned 2094, and a sword 2719 comes 935 and takes 3947 a person 5315 from them, he is taken 3947 away in his iniquity 5771; but his blood 1818 I will require 1875 from the watchman's 6822 hand 3027.'
7 ¶ "Now as for you, son 1121 of man 120, I have appointed 5414 you a watchman 6822 for the house 1004 of Israel 3478; so you will hear 8085 a message 1697 from My mouth 6310 and give 2094 them warning 2094 from Me.
8 "When I say 559 to the wicked 7563, 'O wicked 7563 man 7563, you will surely 4191 die 4191,' and you do not speak 1696 to warn 2094 the wicked 7563 from his way 1870, that wicked 7563 man 7563 shall die 4191 in his iniquity 5771, but his blood 1818 I will require 1245 from your hand 3027.
9 "But if 3588 you on your part 859 warn 2094 a wicked 7563 man 7563 to turn 7725 from his way 1870 and he does not turn 7725 from his way 1870, he will die 4191 in his iniquity 5771, but you have delivered 5337 your life 5315.
10 ¶ "Now as for you, son 1121 of man 120, say 559 to the house 1004 of Israel 3478, 'Thus 3651 you have spoken 559, saying 559, "Surely 3588 our transgressions 6588 and our sins 2403 are upon us, and we are rotting 4743 away 4743 in them; how 349 then can we survive 2421?"'
11 "Say 559 to them, 'As I live 2416!' declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'I take 2654 no 518 pleasure 2654 in the death 4194 of the wicked 7563, but rather that the wicked 7563 turn 7725 from his way 1870 and live 2421. Turn 7725 back 7725, turn 7725 back 7725 from your evil 7451 ways 1870! Why 4100 then will you die 4191, O house 1004 of Israel 3478?'
12 "And you, son 1121 of man 120, say 559 to your fellow citizens 5971, 'The righteousness 6666 of a righteous 6662 man 6662 will not deliver 5337 him in the day 3117 of his transgression 6588, and as for the wickedness 7564 of the wicked 7563, he will not stumble 3782 because of it in the day 3117 when he turns 7725 from his wickedness 7562; whereas a righteous 6662 man 6662 will not be able 3201 to live 2421 by his righteousness on the day 3117 when he commits 2398 sin 2398.'
13 "When I say 559 to the righteous 6662 he will surely 2421 live 2421, and he {so} trusts 982 in his righteousness 6666 that he commits 6213 iniquity 5766, none of his righteous 6666 deeds 6666 will be remembered 2142; but in that same iniquity 5766 of his which 834 he has committed 6213 he will die 4191.
14 "But when I say 559 to the wicked 7563, 'You will surely 4191 die 4191,' and he turns 7725 from his sin 2403 and practices 6213 justice 4941 and righteousness 6666,
15 {if a} wicked 7563 man 7563 restores 7725 a pledge 2258, pays 7999 back 7999 what 1500 he has taken 1500 by robbery 1500, walks 1980 by the statutes 2708 which ensure life 2425 without 1115 committing 6213 iniquity 5766, he shall surely 2421 live 2421; he shall not die 4191.
16 "None of his sins 2403 that he has committed 2398 will be remembered 2142 against him. He has practiced 6213 justice 4941 and righteousness 6666; he shall surely 2421 live 2421.
17 ¶ "Yet your fellow citizens 5971 say 559, 'The way 1870 of the Lord 136 is not right 8505,' when it is their own way 1870 that is not right 8505.
18 "When the righteous 6662 turns 7725 from his righteousness 6666 and commits 6213 iniquity 5766, then he shall die 4191 in it.
19 "But when the wicked 7563 turns 7725 from his wickedness 7564 and practices 6213 justice 4941 and righteousness 6666, he will live 2421 by them.
20 "Yet you say 559, 'The way 1870 of the Lord 136 is not right 8505.' O house 1004 of Israel 3478, I will judge 8199 each 376 of you according to his ways 1870."

Word of Jerusalem's Capture

¶ Now in the twelfth year 8141 of our exile 1546, on the fifth 2568 of the tenth 6224 month 2320, the refugees 6412 from Jerusalem 3389 came 935 to me, saying 559, "The city 5892 has been taken 5221."
22 Now the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 had been 1961 upon me in the evening 6153, before 6440 the refugees 6412 came 935. And He opened 6605 my mouth 6310 at the time 5704 {they} came 935 to me in the morning 1242; so my mouth 6310 was opened 6605 and I was no 3808 longer 5750 speechless 481.
23 ¶ Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
24 "Son 1121 of man 120, they who live 3427 in these 428 waste 2723 places 2723 in the land 127 of Israel 3478 are saying 559, 'Abraham 85 was {only} one 259, yet he possessed 3423 the land 776; so to us who 7227 are many 7227 the land 776 has been given 5414 as a possession 4181.'
25 "Therefore 3651 say 559 to them, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "You eat 398 {meat} with the blood 1818 {in it,} lift 5375 up your eyes 5869 to your idols 1544 as you shed 8210 blood 1818. Should you then possess 3423 the land 776?
26 "You rely 5975 on your sword 2719, you commit 6213 abominations 8441 and each 376 of you defiles 2930 his neighbor's 7453 wife 802. Should you then possess 3423 the land 776?"'
27 "Thus 3541 you shall say 559 to them, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "As I live 2416, surely those who 834 are in the waste 2723 places 2723 will fall 5307 by the sword 2719, and whoever 834 is in the open 6440 field 7704 I will give 5414 to the beasts 2421 to be devoured 398, and those who 834 are in the strongholds 4679 and in the caves 4631 will die 4191 of pestilence 1698.
28 "I will make 5414 the land 776 a desolation 8077 and a waste 4923, and the pride 1347 of her power 5797 will cease 7673; and the mountains 2022 of Israel 3478 will be desolate 8074 so 4480 that no 369 one 369 will pass 5674 through 5674.
29 "Then they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068, when I make 5414 the land 776 a desolation 8077 and a waste 4923 because 5921 of all 3605 their abominations 8441 which 834 they have committed 6213."'
30 ¶ "But as for you, son 1121 of man 120, your fellow citizens 5971 who talk 1696 about you by the walls 7023 and in the doorways 6607 of the houses 1004, speak 1696 to one 2297 another 259, each 376 to his brother 251, saying 559, 'Come 935 now 4994 and hear 8085 what 4100 the message 1697 is which comes 3318 forth 3318 from the LORD 3068.'
31 "They come 935 to you as people 5971 come 3996, and sit 3427 before 6440 you {as} My people 5971 and hear 8085 your words 1697, but they do not do 6213 them, for they do 6213 the lustful 5690 desires 5690 {expressed} by their mouth 6310, {and} their heart 3820 goes 1980 after 310 their gain 1215.
32 "Behold 2009, you are to them like a sensual 5690 song 7892 by one who has a beautiful 3303 voice 6963 and plays 5059 well 3190 on an instrument; for they hear 8085 your words 1697 but they do not practice 6213 them.
33 "So when it comes 935 to pass 935--as surely 2009 it will--then they will know 3045 that a prophet 5030 has been 1961 in their midst 8432."

Prophecy against the Shepherds of Israel

Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
2 "Son 1121 of man 120, prophesy 5012 against 5921 the shepherds 7462 of Israel 3478. Prophesy 5012 and say 559 to those shepherds 7462, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Woe 1945, shepherds 7462 of Israel 3478 who 834 have been 1961 feeding 7462 themselves! Should not the shepherds 7462 feed 7462 the flock 6629?
3 "You eat 398 the fat 2459 and clothe 3847 yourselves 3847 with the wool 6785, you slaughter 2076 the fat 1277 {sheep} without 3808 feeding 7462 the flock 6629.
4 "Those who are sickly 2470 you have not strengthened 2388, the diseased 2470 you have not healed 7495, the broken 7665 you have not bound 2280 up, the scattered 5080 you have not brought 7725 back 7725, nor 3808 have you sought 1245 for the lost 6; but with force 2394 and with severity 6531 you have dominated 7287 them.
5 "They were scattered 6327 for lack 1097 of a shepherd 7462, and they became 1961 food 402 for every 3605 beast 2421 of the field 7704 and were scattered 6327.
6 "My flock 6629 wandered 7686 through all 3605 the mountains 2022 and on every 3605 high 7311 hill 1389; My flock 6629 was scattered 6327 over 5921 all 3605 the surface 6440 of the earth 776, and there 369 was no 369 one 369 to search 1875 or seek 1245 {for them.}"'"
7 ¶ Therefore 3651, you shepherds 7462, hear 8085 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068:
8 "As I live 2416," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "surely because 3282 My flock 6629 has become 1961 a prey 957, My flock 6629 has even become 1961 food 402 for all 3605 the beasts 2421 of the field 7704 for lack 369 of a shepherd 7462, and My shepherds 7462 did not search 1875 for My flock 6629, but {rather} the shepherds 7462 fed 7462 themselves and did not feed 7462 My flock 6629;
9 therefore 3651, you shepherds 7462, hear 8085 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068:
10 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Behold 2009, I am against 413 the shepherds 7462, and I will demand 1875 My sheep 6629 from them and make them cease 7673 from feeding 7462 sheep 6629. So the shepherds 7462 will not feed 7462 themselves anymore 5750, but I will deliver 5337 My flock 6629 from their mouth 6310, so that they will not be food 402 for them."'"
11

The Restoration of Israel

¶ For thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Behold 2009, I Myself 589 will search 1875 for My sheep 6629 and seek 1239 them out.
12 "As a shepherd 7462 cares 1243 for his herd 5739 in the day 3117 when he is among 8432 his scattered 6567 sheep 6629, so 3651 I will care 1239 for My sheep 6629 and will deliver 5337 them from all 3605 the places 4725 to which 834 they were scattered 6327 on a cloudy 6051 and gloomy 6205 day 3117.
13 "I will bring 3318 them out from the peoples 5971 and gather 6908 them from the countries 776 and bring 935 them to their own land 127; and I will feed 7462 them on the mountains 2022 of Israel 3478, by the streams 650, and in all 3605 the inhabited 4186 places 4186 of the land 776.
14 "I will feed 7462 them in a good 2896 pasture 4829, and their grazing 5116 ground 5116 will be on the mountain 2022 heights 4791 of Israel 3478. There 8033 they will lie 7257 down 7257 on good 2896 grazing 5116 ground 5116 and feed 7462 in rich 8082 pasture 4829 on the mountains 2022 of Israel 3478.
15 "I will feed 7462 My flock 6629 and I will lead 7257 them to rest 7257," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
16 "I will seek 1245 the lost 6, bring 7725 back 7725 the scattered 5080, bind 2280 up the broken 7665 and strengthen 2388 the sick 2470; but the fat 8082 and the strong 2389 I will destroy 8045. I will feed 7462 them with judgment 4941.
17 ¶ "As for you, My flock 6629, thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'Behold 2009, I will judge 8199 between 996 one sheep 7716 and another 7716, between the rams 352 and the male 6260 goats 6260.
18 'Is it too 4480 slight 4592 a thing 4592 for you that you should feed 7462 in the good 2896 pasture 4829, that you must tread 7429 down 7429 with your feet 7272 the rest 3499 of your pastures 4829? Or that you should drink 8354 of the clear 4950 waters 4325, that you must foul 7511 the rest 3498 with your feet 7272?
19 'As for My flock 6629, they must eat 7462 what 4823 you tread 4823 down 4823 with your feet 7272 and drink 8354 what 4833 you foul 4833 with your feet 7272!'"
20 ¶ Therefore 3651, thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 to them, "Behold 2009, I, even I, will judge 8199 between 996 the fat 1277 sheep 7716 and the lean 7330 sheep 7716.
21 "Because 3282 you push 1920 with side 6654 and with shoulder 3802, and thrust 1920 at all 3605 the weak 2470 with your horns 7161 until you have scattered 6327 them abroad 2351,
22 therefore, I will deliver 3467 My flock 6629, and they will no 3808 longer 5750 be a prey 957; and I will judge 8199 between 996 one sheep 7716 and another 7716.
23 ¶ "Then I will set 6965 over 5921 them one 259 shepherd 7462, My servant 5650 David 1732, and he will feed 7462 them; he will feed 7462 them himself 1931 and be their shepherd 7462.
24 "And I, the LORD 3068, will be their God 430, and My servant 5650 David 1732 will be prince 5387 among 8432 them; I the LORD 3068 have spoken 1696.
25 ¶ "I will make 3772 a covenant 1285 of peace 7965 with them and eliminate 7673 harmful 7451 beasts 2421 from the land 776 so that they may live 3427 securely 983 in the wilderness 4057 and sleep 3462 in the woods 3293.
26 "I will make 5414 them and the places 5439 around 5439 My hill 1389 a blessing 1293. And I will cause showers 1653 to come 3381 down 3381 in their season 6256; they will be showers 1653 of blessing 1293.
27 "Also the tree 6086 of the field 7704 will yield 5414 its fruit 6529 and the earth 776 will yield 5414 its increase 2981, and they will be secure 983 on their land 127. Then they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068, when I have broken 7665 the bars 4133 of their yoke 5923 and have delivered 5337 them from the hand 3027 of those who enslaved 5647 them.
28 "They will no 3808 longer 5750 be a prey 957 to the nations 1471, and the beasts 2421 of the earth 776 will not devour 398 them; but they will live 3427 securely 983, and no 369 one 369 will make 2729 {them} afraid 2729.
29 "I will establish 6965 for them a renowned 8034 planting 4302 place 4302, and they will not again 5750 be victims 622 of famine 7458 in the land 776, and they will not endure 5375 the insults 3639 of the nations 1471 anymore 5750.
30 "Then they will know 3045 that I, the LORD 3068 their God 430, am with them, and that they, the house 1004 of Israel 3478, are My people 5971," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
31 "As for you, My sheep 6629, the sheep 6629 of My pasture 4830, you are men 120, and I am your God 430," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.

Prophecy against Mount Seir

Moreover, the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
2 "Son 1121 of man 120, set 7760 your face 6440 against 5921 Mount 2022 Seir 8165, and prophesy 5012 against 5921 it
3 and say 559 to it, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Behold 2009, I am against 413 you, Mount 2022 Seir 8165, And I will stretch 5186 out My hand 3027 against 5921 you And make 5414 you a desolation 8077 and a waste 4923.
4 "I will lay 7760 waste 2723 your cities 5892 And you will become 1961 a desolation 8077. Then you will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068.
5 "Because 3282 you have had 1961 everlasting 5769 enmity 342 and have delivered 5064 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 to the power 3027 of the sword 2719 at the time 6256 of their calamity 343, at the time 6256 of the punishment 5771 of the end 7093,
6 therefore 3651 as I live 2416," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "I will give 6213 you over 6213 to bloodshed 1818, and bloodshed 1818 will pursue 7291 you; since 518 you have not hated 8130 bloodshed 1818, therefore bloodshed 1818 will pursue 7291 you.
7 "I will make 5414 Mount 2022 Seir 8165 a waste 8077 and a desolation 8077 and I will cut 3772 off 3772 from it the one who passes 5674 through 5674 and returns 7725.
8 "I will fill 4390 its mountains 2022 with its slain 2491; on your hills 1389 and in your valleys 1516 and in all 3605 your ravines 650 those slain 2491 by the sword 2719 will fall 5307.
9 "I will make 5414 you an everlasting 5769 desolation 8077 and your cities 5892 will not be inhabited 3427. Then you will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068.
10 ¶ "Because 3282 you have said 559, 'These two 8147 nations 1471 and these two 8147 lands 776 will be mine, and we will possess 3423 them,' although the LORD 3068 was there 8033,
11 therefore 3651 as I live 2416," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "I will deal 6213 {with you} according to your anger 639 and according to your envy 7068 which 834 you showed 6213 because 4480 of your hatred 8135 against them; so I will make 3045 Myself known 3045 among them when 3512 I judge 8199 you.
12 "Then you will know 3045 that I, the LORD 3068, have heard 8085 all 3605 your revilings 5007 which 834 you have spoken 559 against 5921 the mountains 2022 of Israel 3478 saying 559, 'They are laid 8074 desolate 8074; they are given 5414 to us for food 402.'
13 "And you have spoken arrogantly 1431 against 5921 Me and have multiplied 6280 your words 1697 against 5921 Me; I have heard 8085 {it.}"
14 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "As all 3605 the earth 776 rejoices 8055, I will make 6213 you a desolation 8077.
15 "As you rejoiced 8055 over the inheritance 5159 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478 because it was desolate 8074, so 3651 I will do 6213 to you. You will be a desolation 8077, O Mount 2022 Seir 8165, and all 3605 Edom 112, all 3605 of it. Then they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068."'

The Mountains of Israel to Be Blessed

"And you, son 1121 of man 120, prophesy 5012 to the mountains 2022 of Israel 3478 and say 559, 'O mountains 2022 of Israel 3478, hear 8085 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068.
2 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Because 3282 the enemy 340 has spoken 559 against 5921 you, 'Aha 1889!' and, 'The everlasting 5769 heights 1116 have become 1961 our possession 4181,'
3 therefore 3651 prophesy 5012 and say 559, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "For good reason 3282 they have made 8074 you desolate 8074 and crushed 7602 you from every 5439 side 5439, that you would become 1961 a possession 4181 of the rest 7611 of the nations 1471 and you have been taken 5927 up in the talk 8193 and the whispering 1681 of the people 5971."'"
4 'Therefore 3651, O mountains 2022 of Israel 3478, hear 8085 the word 1697 of the Lord 136 GOD 3068. Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 to the mountains 2022 and to the hills 1389, to the ravines 650 and to the valleys 1516, to the desolate 8074 wastes 2723 and to the forsaken 5800 cities 5892 which 834 have become 1961 a prey 957 and a derision 3933 to the rest 7611 of the nations 1471 which 834 are round 5439 about 5439,
5 therefore 3651 thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Surely in the fire 784 of My jealousy 7068 I have spoken 1696 against 5921 the rest 7611 of the nations 1471, and against 5921 all 3605 Edom 112, who 834 appropriated 5414 My land 776 for themselves as a possession 4181 with wholehearted joy 8057 {and} with scorn 7589 of soul 5315, to drive 1644 it out for a prey 957."
6 'Therefore 3651 prophesy 5012 concerning 5921 the land 127 of Israel 3478 and say 559 to the mountains 2022 and to the hills 1389, to the ravines 650 and to the valleys 1516, "Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'Behold 2009, I have spoken 1696 in My jealousy 7068 and in My wrath 2534 because 3282 you have endured 5375 the insults 3639 of the nations 1471.'
7 "Therefore 3651 thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'I have sworn that surely the nations 1471 which 834 are around 5439 you will themselves 1992 endure 5375 their insults 3639.
8 'But you, O mountains 2022 of Israel 3478, you will put 5414 forth your branches 6057 and bear 5375 your fruit 6529 for My people 5971 Israel 3478; for they will soon 7126 come 935.
9 'For, behold 2009, I am for you, and I will turn 6437 to you, and you will be cultivated 5647 and sown 2232.
10 'I will multiply 7235 men 120 on you, all 3605 the house 1004 of Israel 3478, all 3605 of it; and the cities 5892 will be inhabited 3427 and the waste 2723 places 2723 will be rebuilt 1129.
11 'I will multiply 7235 on you man 120 and beast 929; and they will increase 7235 and be fruitful 6509; and I will cause you to be inhabited 3427 as you were formerly 6927 and will treat 3190 you better 3190 than 4480 at the first 7221. Thus you will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068.
12 'Yes, I will cause men 120--My people 5971 Israel 3478--to walk 1980 on you and possess 3423 you, so that you will become 1961 their inheritance 5159 and never again 3254 bereave 7921 them of children 7921.'
13 ¶ "Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'Because 3282 they say 559 to you, "You are a devourer 398 of men 120 and have bereaved 7921 your nation 1471 of children 7921,"
14 therefore 3651 you will no 3808 longer 5750 devour 398 men 120 and no 3808 longer 5750 bereave 7921 your nation 1471 of children 7921,' declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
15 "I will not let you hear 8085 insults 3639 from the nations 1471 anymore 5750, nor 3808 will you bear 5375 disgrace 2781 from the peoples 5971 any 5750 longer 5750, nor 3808 will you cause your nation 1471 to stumble 3782 any 5750 longer 5750," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.'"
16 ¶ Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
17 "Son 1121 of man 120, when the house 1004 of Israel 3478 was living 3427 in their own land 127, they defiled 2930 it by their ways 1870 and their deeds 5949; their way 1870 before 6440 Me was like the uncleanness 2932 of a woman in her impurity 5079.
18 "Therefore I poured 8210 out My wrath 2534 on them for the blood 1818 which 834 they had shed 8210 on the land 776, because they had defiled 2930 it with their idols 1544.
19 "Also I scattered 6327 them among the nations 1471 and they were dispersed 2219 throughout the lands 776. According to their ways 1870 and their deeds 5949 I judged 8199 them.
20 "When they came 935 to the nations 1471 where they went 935, they profaned 2490 My holy 6944 name 8034, because it was said 559 of them, 'These 428 are the people 5971 of the LORD 3068; yet they have come 3381 out of His land 776.'
21 "But I had concern 2550 for My holy 6944 name 8034, which 834 the house 1004 of Israel 3478 had profaned 2490 among the nations 1471 where they went 935.

Israel to Be Renewed for His Name's Sake

¶ "Therefore 3651 say 559 to the house 1004 of Israel 3478, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "It is not for your sake 4616, O house 1004 of Israel 3478, that I am about to act 6213, but for My holy 6944 name 8034, which 834 you have profaned 2490 among the nations 1471 where you went 935.
23 "I will vindicate 6942 the holiness 6942 of My great 1419 name 8034 which has been profaned 2490 among the nations 1471, which 834 you have profaned 2490 in their midst 8432. Then the nations 1471 will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "when I prove 6942 Myself holy 6942 among you in their sight 5869.
24 "For I will take 3947 you from the nations 1471, gather 6908 you from all 3605 the lands 776 and bring 935 you into your own land 127.
25 "Then I will sprinkle 2236 clean 2889 water 4325 on you, and you will be clean 2891; I will cleanse 2891 you from all 3605 your filthiness 2932 and from all 3605 your idols 1544.
26 "Moreover, I will give 5414 you a new 2319 heart 3820 and put 5414 a new 2319 spirit 7307 within 7130 you; and I will remove 5493 the heart 3820 of stone 68 from your flesh 1320 and give 5414 you a heart 3820 of flesh 1320.
27 "I will put 5414 My Spirit 7307 within 7130 you and cause 6213 you to walk 1980 in My statutes 2706, and you will be careful 8104 to observe 6213 My ordinances 4941.
28 "You will live 3427 in the land 776 that I gave 5414 to your forefathers 1; so you will be My people 5971, and I will be your God 430.
29 "Moreover, I will save 3467 you from all 3605 your uncleanness 2932; and I will call 7121 for the grain 1715 and multiply 7235 it, and I will not bring 5414 a famine 7458 on you.
30 "I will multiply 7235 the fruit 6529 of the tree 6086 and the produce 8570 of the field 7704, so 4616 that you will not receive 3947 again 5750 the disgrace 2781 of famine 7458 among the nations 1471.
31 "Then you will remember 2142 your evil 7451 ways 1870 and your deeds 4611 that were not good 2896, and you will loathe 6962 yourselves in your own sight 6440 for your iniquities 5771 and your abominations 8441.
32 "I am not doing 6213 {this} for your sake 4616," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "let it be known 3045 to you. Be ashamed 954 and confounded 3637 for your ways 1870, O house 1004 of Israel 3478!"
33 ¶ 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "On the day 3117 that I cleanse 2891 you from all 3605 your iniquities 5771, I will cause the cities 5892 to be inhabited 3427, and the waste 2723 places 2723 will be rebuilt 1129.
34 "The desolate 8074 land 776 will be cultivated 5647 instead 8478 of being 1961 a desolation 8077 in the sight 5869 of everyone 3605 who passes 5674 by.
35 "They will say 559, 'This 1976 desolate 8074 land 776 has become 1961 like the garden 1588 of Eden 5731; and the waste 2720, desolate 8074 and ruined 2040 cities 5892 are fortified 1219 {and} inhabited 3427.'
36 "Then the nations 1471 that are left 7604 round 5439 about 5439 you will know 3045 that I, the LORD 3068, have rebuilt 1129 the ruined 2040 places {and} planted 5193 that which was desolate 8074; I, the LORD 3068, have spoken 1696 and will do 6213 it."
37 ¶ 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "This 2088 also 5750 I will let the house 1004 of Israel 3478 ask 1875 Me to do 6213 for them: I will increase 7235 their men 120 like a flock 6629.
38 "Like the flock 6629 for sacrifices 6944, like the flock 6629 at Jerusalem 3389 during her appointed 4150 feasts 4150, so 3651 will the waste 2720 cities 5892 be filled 4392 with flocks 6629 of men 120. Then they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068."'"

Vision of the Valley of Dry Bones

The hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 was upon me, and He brought 3318 me out by the Spirit 7307 of the LORD 3068 and set 5117 me down 5117 in the middle 8432 of the valley 1237; and it was full 4392 of bones 6106.
2 He caused me to pass 5674 among 5921 them round 5439 about 5439, and behold 2009, {there were} very 3966 many 7227 on the surface 6440 of the valley 1237; and lo 2009, {they were} very 3966 dry 3002.
3 He said 559 to me, "Son 1121 of man 120, can these 428 bones 6106 live 2421?" And I answered 559, "O Lord 136 GOD 3068, You know 3045."
4 Again He said 559 to me, "Prophesy 5012 over 5921 these 428 bones 6106 and say 559 to them, 'O dry 3002 bones 6106, hear 8085 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068.'
5 "Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 to these 428 bones 6106, 'Behold 2009, I will cause breath 7307 to enter 935 you that you may come 2421 to life 2421.
6 'I will put 5414 sinews 1517 on you, make flesh 1320 grow 5927 back 5927 on you, cover 7159 you with skin 5785 and put 5414 breath 7307 in you that you may come 2421 alive 2421; and you will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068.'"
7 ¶ So I prophesied 5012 as I was commanded 6680; and as I prophesied 5012, there was a noise 6963, and behold 2009, a rattling 7494; and the bones 6106 came 7126 together 7126, bone 6106 to its bone 6106.
8 And I looked 7200, and behold 2009, sinews 1517 were on them, and flesh 1320 grew 5927 and skin 5785 covered them; but there 369 was no 369 breath 7307 in them.
9 Then He said 559 to me, "Prophesy 5012 to the breath 7307, prophesy 5012, son 1121 of man 120, and say 559 to the breath 7307, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Come 935 from the four 702 winds 7307, O breath 7307, and breathe 5301 on these 428 slain 2026, that they come 2421 to life 2421."'"
10 So I prophesied 5012 as He commanded 6680 me, and the breath 7307 came 935 into them, and they came 2421 to life 2421 and stood 5975 on their feet 7272, an exceedingly 3966 great 1419 army 2428.

The Vision Explained

¶ Then He said 559 to me, "Son 1121 of man 120, these 428 bones 6106 are the whole 3605 house 1004 of Israel 3478; behold 2009, they say 559, 'Our bones 6106 are dried 3001 up and our hope 8615 has perished 6. We are completely cut 1504 off 1504.'
12 "Therefore 3651 prophesy 5012 and say 559 to them, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Behold 2009, I will open 6605 your graves 6913 and cause you to come 5927 up out of your graves 6913, My people 5971; and I will bring 935 you into the land 127 of Israel 3478.
13 "Then you will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068, when I have opened 6605 your graves 6913 and caused you to come 5927 up out of your graves 6913, My people 5971.
14 "I will put 5414 My Spirit 7307 within you and you will come 2421 to life 2421, and I will place 5117 you on your own land 127. Then you will know 3045 that I, the LORD 3068, have spoken 1696 and done 6213 it," declares 5002 the LORD 3068.'"

Reunion of Judah and Israel

¶ The word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 again to me saying 559,
16 "And you, son 1121 of man 120, take 3947 for yourself one 259 stick 6086 and write 3789 on it, 'For Judah 3063 and for the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, his companions 2270'; then take 3947 another 259 stick 6086 and write 3789 on it, 'For Joseph 3130, the stick 6086 of Ephraim 669 and all 3605 the house 1004 of Israel 3478, his companions 2270.'
17 "Then join 7126 them for yourself one 259 to another 259 into one 259 stick 6086, that they may become 1961 one 259 in your hand 3027.
18 "When 3512 the sons 1121 of your people 5971 speak 559 to you saying 559, 'Will you not declare 5046 to us what 4100 you mean by these 428?'
19 say 1696 to them, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Behold 2009, I will take 3947 the stick 6086 of Joseph 3130, which 834 is in the hand 3027 of Ephraim 669, and the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478, his companions 2270; and I will put 5414 them with it, with the stick 6086 of Judah 3063, and make 6213 them one 259 stick 6086, and they will be one 259 in My hand 3027."'
20 "The sticks 6086 on which 834 you write 3789 will be in your hand 3027 before their eyes 5869.

22 and I will make 6213 them one 259 nation 1471 in the land 776, on the mountains 2022 of Israel 3478; and one 259 king 4428 will be king 4428 for all 3605 of them; and they will no 3808 longer 5750 be two 8147 nations 1471 and no 3808 longer 5750 be divided 2673 into two 8147 kingdoms 4467.
23 "They will no 3808 longer 5750 defile 2930 themselves with their idols 1544, or with their detestable 8251 things 8251, or with any 3605 of their transgressions 6588; but I will deliver 3467 them from all 3605 their dwelling 4186 places 4186 in which 834 they have sinned 2398, and will cleanse 2891 them. And they will be My people 5971, and I will be their God 430.

The Davidic Kingdom

¶ "My servant 5650 David 1732 will be king 4428 over 5921 them, and they will all 3605 have 1961 one 259 shepherd 7462; and they will walk 1980 in My ordinances 4941 and keep 8104 My statutes 2708 and observe 6213 them.
25 "They will live 3427 on the land 776 that I gave 5414 to Jacob 3290 My servant 5650, in which 834 your fathers 1 lived 3427; and they will live 3427 on it, they, and their sons 1121 and their sons' 1121 sons 1121, forever; and David 1732 My servant 5650 will be their prince 5387 forever 5769.
26 "I will make 3772 a covenant 1285 of peace 7965 with them; it will be an everlasting 5769 covenant 1285 with them. And I will place 5414 them and multiply 7235 them, and will set 5414 My sanctuary 4720 in their midst 8432 forever 5769.
27 "My dwelling 4908 place 4908 also will be with them; and I will be their God 430, and they will be My people 5971.
28 "And the nations 1471 will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068 who sanctifies 6942 Israel 3478, when My sanctuary 4720 is in their midst 8432 forever 5769."'"

Prophecy about Gog and Future Invasion of Israel

And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
2 "Son 1121 of man 120, set 7760 your face 6440 toward 413 Gog 1463 of the land 776 of Magog 4031, the prince 5387 of Rosh 7220, Meshech 4902 and Tubal 8422, and prophesy 5012 against 5921 him
3 and say 559, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Behold 2009, I am against 413 you, O Gog 1463, prince 5387 of Rosh 7220, Meshech 4902 and Tubal 8422.
4 "I will turn 7725 you about 7725 and put 5414 hooks 2397 into your jaws 3895, and I will bring 3318 you out, and all 3605 your army 2428, horses 5483 and horsemen 6571, all 3605 of them splendidly 4358 attired 3847, a great 7227 company 6951 {with} buckler 6793 and shield 4043, all 3605 of them wielding 8610 swords 2719;

7 ¶ "Be prepared 3559, and prepare 3559 yourself, you and all 3605 your companies 6951 that are assembled 6950 about 5921 you, and be a guard 4929 for them.
8 "After 4480 many 7227 days 3117 you will be summoned 6485; in the latter 319 years 8141 you will come 935 into the land 776 that is restored 7725 from the sword 2719, {whose inhabitants} have been gathered 6908 from many 7227 nations 5971 to the mountains 2022 of Israel 3478 which 834 had been 1961 a continual 8548 waste 2723; but its people were brought 3318 out from the nations 5971, and they are living 3427 securely 983, all 3605 of them.
9 "You will go 5927 up, you will come 935 like a storm 7724; you will be like a cloud 6051 covering 3680 the land 776, you and all 3605 your troops 102, and many 7227 peoples 5971 with you."
10 ¶ 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "It will come 1961 about on that day 3117, that thoughts 1697 will come 5927 into your mind 3824 and you will devise 2803 an evil 7451 plan 4284,
11 and you will say 559, 'I will go 5927 up against 5921 the land 776 of unwalled 6519 villages 6519. I will go 5927 against those who are at rest 8252, that live 3427 securely 983, all 3605 of them living 3427 without 369 walls 2346 and having 369 no 369 bars 1280 or gates 1817,
12 to capture 7997 spoil 7998 and to seize 962 plunder 957, to turn 7725 your hand 3027 against 5921 the waste 2723 places 2723 which are {now} inhabited 3427, and against 413 the people 5971 who are gathered 622 from the nations 1471, who have acquired 6213 cattle 4735 and goods 7075, who live 3427 at the center 2872 of the world 776.'
13 "Sheba 7614 and Dedan 1719 and the merchants 5503 of Tarshish 8659 with all 3605 its villages 3724 will say 559 to you, 'Have you come 935 to capture 7997 spoil 7998? Have you assembled 6950 your company 6951 to seize 962 plunder 957, to carry 5375 away silver 3701 and gold 2091, to take 3947 away cattle 4735 and goods 7075, to capture 7997 great 1419 spoil 7998?'"'
14 ¶ "Therefore 3651 prophesy 5012, son 1121 of man 120, and say 559 to Gog 1463, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "On that day 3117 when My people 5971 Israel 3478 are living 3427 securely 983, will you not know 3045 {it?}

16 and you will come 5927 up against 5921 My people 5971 Israel 3478 like a cloud 6051 to cover 3680 the land 776.

18 "It will come 1961 about on that day 3117, when 3117 Gog 1463 comes 935 against 5921 the land 127 of Israel 3478," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "that My fury 2534 will mount 5927 up in My anger 639.
19 "In My zeal 7068 and in My blazing 784 wrath 5678 I declare 1696 {that} on that day 3117 there will surely be a great 1419 earthquake 7494 in the land 127 of Israel 3478.
20 "The fish 1709 of the sea 3220, the birds 5775 of the heavens 8064, the beasts 2421 of the field 7704, all 3605 the creeping 7431 things 7431 that creep 7430 on the earth 127, and all 3605 the men 120 who 834 are on the face 6440 of the earth 127 will shake 7493 at My presence 6440; the mountains 2022 also will be thrown 2040 down 2040, the steep 4095 pathways 4095 will collapse 5307 and every 3605 wall 2346 will fall 5307 to the ground 776.
21 "I will call 7121 for a sword 2719 against 5921 him on all 3605 My mountains 2022," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068. "Every 376 man's 376 sword 2719 will be against his brother 251.
22 "With pestilence 1698 and with blood 1818 I will enter 8199 into judgment 8199 with him; and I will rain 4305 on him and on his troops 102, and on the many 7227 peoples 5971 who 834 are with him, a torrential 7857 rain 1653, with hailstones, fire 784 and brimstone 1614.
23 "I will magnify 1431 Myself, sanctify 6942 Myself, and make 3045 Myself known 3045 in the sight 5869 of many 7227 nations 1471; and they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068."'

Prophecy against Gog--Invaders Destroyed

"And you, son 1121 of man 120, prophesy 5012 against 5921 Gog 1463 and say 559, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Behold 2009, I am against 413 you, O Gog 1463, prince 5387 of Rosh 7220, Meshech 4902 and Tubal 8422;
2 and I will turn 7725 you around 7725, drive 8338 you on, take 5927 you up from the remotest 3411 parts 3411 of the north 6828 and bring 935 you against 5921 the mountains 2022 of Israel 3478.
3 "I will strike 5221 your bow 7198 from your left 8040 hand 3027 and dash 5307 down 5307 your arrows 2671 from your right 3225 hand 3027.
4 "You will fall 5307 on the mountains 2022 of Israel 3478, you and all 3605 your troops 102 and the peoples 5971 who 834 are with you; I will give 5414 you as food 402 to every 3605 kind 3671 of predatory 5861 bird 6833 and beast 2421 of the field 7704.
5 "You will fall 5307 on the open 6440 field 7704; for it is I who have spoken 1696," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
6 "And I will send 7971 fire 784 upon Magog 4031 and those who inhabit 3427 the coastlands 339 in safety 983; and they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068.
7 ¶ "My holy 6944 name 8034 I will make 3045 known 3045 in the midst 8432 of My people 5971 Israel 3478; and I will not let My holy 6944 name 8034 be profaned 2490 anymore 5750. And the nations 1471 will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068, the Holy 6918 One 6918 in Israel 3478.
8 "Behold 2009, it is coming 935 and it shall be done 1961," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068. "That is the day 3117 of which 834 I have spoken 1696.
9 ¶ "Then those who inhabit 3427 the cities 5892 of Israel 3478 will go 3318 out and make 1197 fires 1197 with the weapons 5402 and burn 8026 {them,} both shields 4043 and bucklers 6793, bows 7198 and arrows 2671, war 4731 clubs 4731 and spears 7420, and for seven 7651 years 8141 they will make 1197 fires 784 of them.
10 "They will not take 5375 wood 6086 from the field 7704 or gather 2404 firewood 2404 from the forests 3293, for they will make 1197 fires 784 with the weapons 5402; and they will take 7997 the spoil 7997 of those who despoiled 7997 them and seize 962 the plunder 962 of those who plundered 962 them," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.

12 "For seven 7651 months 2320 the house 1004 of Israel 3478 will be burying 6912 them in order 4616 to cleanse 2891 the land 776.

14 "They will set 914 apart 914 men 376 who will constantly 8548 pass 5674 through the land 776, burying 6912 those who were passing 5674 through 5674, even 853 those left 3498 on the surface 6440 of the ground 776, in order to cleanse 2891 it. At the end 7097 of seven 7651 months 2320 they will make 2713 a search 2713.
15 "As those who pass 5674 through the land 776 pass 5674 through 5674 and anyone sees 7200 a man's 120 bone 6106, then he will set 1129 up a marker 6725 by it until 5704 the buriers 6912 have buried 6912 it in the valley 1516 of Hamon-gog 1996.

18 "You will eat 398 the flesh 1320 of mighty 1368 men 1368 and drink 8354 the blood 1818 of the princes 5387 of the earth 776, as {though they were} rams 352, lambs 3733, goats 6260 and bulls 6499, all 3605 of them fatlings 4806 of Bashan 1316.
19 "So you will eat 398 fat 2459 until you are glutted 7654, and drink 8354 blood 1818 until you are drunk 7943, from My sacrifice 2077 which 834 I have sacrificed 2076 for you.
20 "You will be glutted 7646 at My table 7979 with horses 5483 and charioteers 7393, with mighty 1368 men 1368 and all 3605 the men 376 of war 4421," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.

22 "And the house 1004 of Israel 3478 will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068 their God 430 from that day 3117 onward 1973.
23 "The nations 1471 will know 3045 that the house 1004 of Israel 3478 went 1540 into exile 1540 for their iniquity 5771 because they acted 4603 treacherously 4603 against Me, and I hid 5641 My face 6440 from them; so I gave 5414 them into the hand 3027 of their adversaries 6862, and all 3605 of them fell 5307 by the sword 2719.
24 "According to their uncleanness 2932 and according to their transgressions 6588 I dealt 6213 with them, and I hid 5641 My face 6440 from them."'"

Israel Restored

¶ Therefore 3651 thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Now 6258 I will restore 7725 the fortunes 7622 of Jacob 3290 and have 7355 mercy 7355 on the whole 3605 house 1004 of Israel 3478; and I will be jealous 7065 for My holy 6944 name 8034.
26 "They will forget 5375 their disgrace 3639 and all 3605 their treachery 4604 which 834 they perpetrated 4603 against Me, when they live 3427 securely 983 on their {own} land 127 with no 369 one 369 to make 2729 {them} afraid 2729.
27 "When I bring 7725 them back 7725 from the peoples 5971 and gather 6908 them from the lands 776 of their enemies 340, then I shall be sanctified 6942 through them in the sight 5869 of the many 7227 nations 1471.
28 "Then they will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068 their God 430 because I made them go 1540 into exile 1540 among 413 the nations 1471, and then gathered 3664 them {again} to their own land 127; and I will leave 3498 none 3808 of them there 8033 any 5750 longer 5750.
29 "I will not hide 5641 My face 6440 from them any 5750 longer 5750, for I will have poured 8210 out My Spirit 7307 on the house 1004 of Israel 3478," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.

Vision of the Man with a Measuring Rod

In the twenty-fifth year 8141 of our exile 1546, at the beginning 7218 of the year 8141, on the tenth 6218 of the month 2320, in the fourteenth year 8141 after 310 the city 5892 was taken 5221, on that same 6106 day 3117 the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 was upon me and He brought 935 me there 8033.
2 In the visions 4759 of God 430 He brought 935 me into the land 776 of Israel 3478 and set 5117 me on a very 3966 high 1364 mountain 2022, and on it to the south 5045 {there was} a structure 4011 like a city 5892.
3 So He brought 935 me there 8033; and behold 2009, there was a man 376 whose appearance 4758 was like the appearance 4758 of bronze 5178, with a line 6616 of flax 6593 and a measuring 4060 rod 7070 in his hand 3027; and he was standing 5975 in the gateway 8179.
4 The man 376 said 1696 to me, "Son 1121 of man 120, see 7200 with your eyes 5869, hear 8085 with your ears 241, and give 7760 attention 3820 to all 3605 that I am going to show 7200 you; for you have been brought 935 here 2008 in order 4616 to show 7200 {it} to you. Declare 5046 to the house 1004 of Israel 3478 all 3605 that you see 7200."

Measurements Relating to the Temple

¶ And behold 2009, there was a wall 2346 on the outside 2351 of the temple 1004 all 5439 around 5439, and in the man's 376 hand 3027 was a measuring 4060 rod 7070 of six 8337 cubits 520, {each of which was} a cubit 520 and a handbreadth 2948. So he measured 4058 the thickness 7341 of the wall 2346, one 259 rod 7070; and the height 6967, one 259 rod 7070.
6 Then he went 935 to the gate 8179 which 834 faced 6440 east 6921, went 5927 up its steps 4609 and measured 4058 the threshold 5592 of the gate 8179, one 259 rod 7070 in width 7341; and the other 259 threshold 5592 {was} one 259 rod 7070 in width 7341.
7 The guardroom 8372 {was} one 259 rod 7070 long 753 and one 259 rod 7070 wide 7341; and {there were} five 2568 cubits 520 between 996 the guardrooms 8372. And the threshold 5592 of the gate 8179 by the porch 197 of the gate 8179 facing 4480 inward 1004 {was} one 259 rod 7070.
8 Then he measured 4058 the porch 197 of the gate 8179 facing 4480 inward 1004, one 259 rod 7070.
9 He measured 4058 the porch 197 of the gate 8179, eight 8083 cubits 520; and its side 352 pillars 352, two 8147 cubits 520. And the porch 197 of the gate 8179 was faced 1004 inward 1004.
10 The guardrooms 8372 of the gate 8179 toward 1870 the east 6921 {numbered} three 7969 on each 6311 side 6311; the three 7969 of them had the same 259 measurement 4060. The side 352 pillars 352 also had the same 259 measurement 4060 on each 6311 side 6311.
11 And he measured 4058 the width 7341 of the gateway, ten 6235 cubits 520, and the length 753 of the gate 8179, thirteen cubits 520.
12 {There was} a barrier 1366 {wall} one 259 cubit 520 {wide} in front 6440 of the guardrooms 8372 on each 6311 side 6311; and the guardrooms 8372 {were} six 8337 cubits 520 {square} on each 6311 side 6311.
13 He measured 4058 the gate 8179 from the roof 1406 of the one guardroom 8372 to the roof 1406 of the other, a width 7341 of twenty-five cubits 520 from {one} door 6607 to {the} door 6607 opposite 5048.
14 He made 6213 the side 352 pillars 352 sixty 8346 cubits 520 {high;} the gate 8179 {extended} round 5439 about 5439 to the side 352 pillar 352 of the courtyard 2691.
15 {From} the front 6440 of the entrance 382 gate 8179 to the front 6440 of the inner 6442 porch 197 of the gate 8179 {was} fifty 2572 cubits 520.
16 {There were} shuttered 331 windows 2474 {looking} toward 413 the guardrooms 8372, and toward 413 their side 352 pillars 352 within 6441 the gate 8179 all 5439 around 5439, and likewise 3651 for the porches 361. And {there were} windows 2474 all 5439 around 5439 inside 6441; and on {each} side 352 pillar 352 {were} palm 8561 tree 8561 ornaments 8561.
17 ¶ Then he brought 935 me into the outer 2435 court 2691, and behold 2009, {there were} chambers 3957 and a pavement 7531 made 6213 for the court 2691 all 5439 around 5439; thirty 7970 chambers 3957 faced 413 the pavement 7531.
18 The pavement 7531 ({that is,} the lower 8481 pavement 7531) {was} by the side 3802 of the gates 8179, corresponding 5980 to the length 753 of the gates 8179.
19 Then he measured 4058 the width 7341 from the front 6440 of the lower 8481 gate 8179 to the front 6440 of the exterior 2351 of the inner 6442 court 2691, a hundred 3967 cubits 520 on the east 6921 and on the north 6828.
20 ¶ {As for} the gate 8179 of the outer 2435 court 2691 which 834 faced 6440 the north 6828, he measured 4058 its length 753 and its width 7341.
21 It had three 7969 guardrooms 8372 on each 6311 side 6311; and its side 352 pillars 352 and its porches 361 had 1961 the same measurement 4060 as the first 7223 gate 8179. Its length 753 {was} fifty 2572 cubits 520 and the width 7341 twenty-five cubits 520.
22 Its windows 2474 and its porches 361 and its palm 8561 tree 8561 ornaments 8561 {had} the same measurements 4060 as the gate 8179 which 834 faced 6440 toward 1870 the east 6921; and it was reached 5927 by seven 7651 steps 4609, and its porch 361 {was} in front 6440 of them.
23 The inner 6442 court 2691 had a gate 8179 opposite 5048 the gate 8179 on the north 6828 as well as {the gate} on the east 6921; and he measured 4058 a hundred 3967 cubits 520 from gate 8179 to gate 8179.
24 ¶ Then he led 1980 me toward 1870 the south 1864, and behold 2009, there was a gate 8179 toward 1870 the south 1864; and he measured 4058 its side 352 pillars 352 and its porches 361 according to those 428 same measurements 4060.
25 The gate and its porches 361 had windows 2474 all 5439 around 5439 like those 428 other windows 2474; the length 753 {was} fifty 2572 cubits 520 and the width 7341 twenty-five cubits 520.
26 {There were} seven 7651 steps 4609 going 5927 up to it, and its porches 361 {were} in front 6440 of them; and it had palm 8561 tree 8561 ornaments 8561 on its side 352 pillars 352, one 259 on each 6311 side 6311.
27 The inner 6442 court 2691 had a gate 8179 toward 1870 the south 1864; and he measured 4058 from gate 8179 to gate 8179 toward 1870 the south 1864, a hundred 3967 cubits 520.
28 ¶ Then he brought 935 me to the inner 6442 court 2691 by the south 1864 gate 8179; and he measured 4058 the south 1864 gate 8179 according to those 428 same measurements 4060.
29 Its guardrooms 8372 also, its side 352 pillars 352 and its porches 361 {were} according to those 428 same measurements 4060. And the gate and its porches 361 had windows 2474 all 5439 around 5439; it {was} fifty 2572 cubits 520 long 753 and twenty-five cubits 520 wide 7341.
30 {There were} porches 361 all 5439 around 5439, twenty-five cubits 520 long 753 and five 2568 cubits 520 wide 7341.
31 Its porches 361 {were} toward 413 the outer 2435 court 2691; and palm 8561 tree 8561 ornaments 8561 {were} on its side 352 pillars 352, and its stairway 4608 {had} eight 8083 steps 4609.
32 ¶ He brought 935 me into the inner 6442 court 2691 toward 1870 the east 6921. And he measured 4058 the gate 8179 according to those 428 same measurements 4060.
33 Its guardrooms 8372 also, its side 352 pillars 352 and its porches 361 {were} according to those 428 same measurements 4060. And the gate and its porches 361 had windows 2474 all 5439 around 5439; it {was} fifty 2572 cubits 520 long 753 and twenty-five cubits 520 wide 7341.
34 Its porches 361 {were} toward the outer 2435 court 2691; and palm 8561 tree 8561 ornaments 8561 {were} on its side 352 pillars 352, on each 6311 side 6311, and its stairway 4608 {had} eight 8083 steps 4609.
35 ¶ Then he brought 935 me to the north 6828 gate 8179; and he measured 4058 {it} according to those 428 same measurements 4060,
36 {with} its guardrooms 8372, its side 352 pillars 352 and its porches 361. And the gate had windows 2474 all 5439 around 5439; the length 753 {was} fifty 2572 cubits 520 and the width 7341 twenty-five cubits 520.
37 Its side 352 pillars 352 {were} toward the outer 2435 court 2691; and palm 8561 tree 8561 ornaments 8561 {were} on its side 352 pillars 352 on each 6311 side 6311, and its stairway 4608 had eight 8083 steps 4609.
38 ¶ A chamber 3957 with its doorway 6607 was by the side 352 pillars 352 at the gates 8179; there 8033 they rinse 1740 the burnt 5930 offering 5930.
39 In the porch 197 of the gate 8179 {were} two 8147 tables 7979 on each 6311 side 6311, on which to slaughter 7819 the burnt 5930 offering 5930, the sin 2403 offering 2403 and the guilt 817 offering 817.
40 On the outer 2351 side 3802, as one went 5927 up to the gateway toward the north 6828, {were} two 8147 tables 7979; and on the other 312 side 3802 of the porch 197 of the gate 8179 {were} two 8147 tables 7979.
41 Four 702 tables 7979 {were} on each 6311 side 6311 next 3802 to the gate 8179; {or,} eight 8083 tables 7979 on which they slaughter 7819 {sacrifices.}
42 For the burnt 5930 offering 5930 {there were} four 702 tables 7979 of hewn 1496 stone 68, a cubit 520 and a half 2677 long 753, a cubit 520 and a half 2677 wide 7341 and one 259 cubit 520 high 1363, on which they lay 5117 the instruments 3627 with which 834 they slaughter 7819 the burnt 5930 offering 5930 and the sacrifice 2077.
43 The double 8240 hooks 8240, one 259 handbreadth 2948 in length, were installed 3559 in the house 1004 all 5439 around 5439; and on the tables 7979 {was} the flesh 1320 of the offering 7133.
44 ¶ From the outside 2351 to the inner 6442 gate 8179 were chambers 3957 for the singers 7891 in the inner 6442 court 2691, {one of} which 834 was at the side 3802 of the north 6828 gate 8179, with its front 6440 toward 1870 the south 1864, and one 259 at the side 3802 of the south gate 8179 facing 6440 toward 1870 the north 6828.
45 He said 1696 to me, "This 2090 is the chamber 3957 which 834 faces 6440 toward 1870 the south 1864, {intended} for the priests 3548 who keep 8104 charge 4931 of the temple 1004;
46 but the chamber 3957 which 834 faces 6440 toward 1870 the north 6828 is for the priests 3548 who keep 8104 charge 4931 of the altar 4196. These 1992 are the sons 1121 of Zadok 6659, who from the sons 1121 of Levi 3878 come 7131 near 7131 to the LORD 3068 to minister 8334 to Him."
47 He measured 4058 the court 2691, a {perfect} square 7251, a hundred 3967 cubits 520 long 753 and a hundred 3967 cubits 520 wide 7341; and the altar 4196 was in front 6440 of the temple 1004.
48 ¶ Then he brought 935 me to the porch 197 of the temple 1004 and measured 4058 {each} side 352 pillar 352 of the porch 197, five 2568 cubits 520 on each 6311 side 6311; and the width 7341 of the gate 8179 was three 7969 cubits 520 on each 6311 side 6311.
49 The length 753 of the porch 197 {was} twenty 6242 cubits 520 and the width 7341 eleven cubits 520; and at the stairway 4609 by which 834 it was ascended 5927 {were} columns 5982 belonging to the side 352 pillars 352, one 259 on each 6311 side 6311.

The Inner Temple

Then he brought 935 me to the nave 1964 and measured 4058 the side 352 pillars 352; six 8337 cubits 520 wide 7341 on each 6311 side 6311 {was} the width 7341 of the side 168 pillar 168.
2 The width 7341 of the entrance 6607 {was} ten 6235 cubits 520 and the sides 3802 of the entrance 6607 {were} five 2568 cubits 520 on each 6311 side 6311. And he measured 4058 the length 753 of the nave, forty 705 cubits 520, and the width 7341, twenty 6242 cubits 520.
3 Then he went 935 inside 6441 and measured 4058 each side 352 pillar 352 of the doorway 6607, two 8147 cubits 520, and the doorway 6607, six 8337 cubits 520 {high;} and the width 7341 of the doorway 6607, seven 7651 cubits 520.
4 He measured 4058 its length 753, twenty 6242 cubits 520, and the width 7341, twenty 6242 cubits 520, before the nave 1964; and he said 559 to me, "This 2088 is the most 6944 holy 6944 {place.}"
5 ¶ Then he measured 4058 the wall 7023 of the temple 1004, six 8337 cubits 520; and the width 7341 of the side 6763 chambers 6763, four 702 cubits 520, all 5439 around 5439 about 5439 the house 1004 on every 5439 side 5439.
6 The side 6763 chambers 6763 were in three 7969 stories, one 6763 above 413 another 6763, and thirty 7970 in each 6471 story 6471; and the side chambers 6763 extended 935 to the wall 7023 which 834 {stood} on their inward 1004 side 6763 all 5439 around 5439, that they might be fastened 270, and not be fastened 270 into the wall 7023 of the temple 1004 {itself.}
7 The side 6763 chambers 6763 surrounding 5437 the temple were wider 7337 at each successive 4605 story 4605. Because 3588 the structure surrounding 4141 the temple 1004 went upward 4605 by stages 4605 on all 5439 sides 5439 of the temple 1004, therefore the width 7341 of the temple 1004 {increased} as it went higher 4605; and thus 3651 one went 5927 up from the lowest 8481 {story} to the highest 5945 by way of the second 8484 {story.}
8 I saw 7200 also that the house 1004 had a raised 1363 platform 1363 all 5439 around 5439; the foundations 4145 of the side 6763 chambers 6763 were a full 4393 rod 7070 of six 8337 long 679 cubits 520 {in height.}
9 The thickness 7341 of the outer 2351 wall 7023 of the side 6763 chambers 6763 {was} five 2568 cubits 520. But the free 5117 space 5117 between 1007 the side 6763 chambers 6763 belonging to the temple 1004
10 and the {outer} chambers 3957 {was} twenty 6242 cubits 520 in width 7341 all 5439 around 5439 the temple 1004 on every 5439 side 5439.
11 The doorways 6607 of the side 6763 chambers 6763 toward the free 5117 space 5117 {consisted of} one 259 doorway 6607 toward 1870 the north 6828 and another 259 doorway 6607 toward the south 1864; and the width 7341 of the free 5117 space {was} five 2568 cubits 520 all 5439 around 5439.
12 ¶ The building 1146 that {was} in front 6440 of the separate 1508 area 1508 at the side 6285 toward 1870 the west 3220 {was} seventy 7657 cubits 520 wide 7341; and the wall 7023 of the building 1146 {was} five 2568 cubits 520 thick 7341 all 5439 around 5439, and its length 753 {was} ninety 8673 cubits 520.
13 ¶ Then he measured 4058 the temple 1004, a hundred 3967 cubits 520 long 753; the separate 1508 area 1508 with the building 1140 and its walls 7023 {were} also a hundred 3967 cubits 520 long 753.
14 Also the width 7341 of the front 6440 of the temple 1004 and {that of} the separate 1508 areas 1508 along the east 6921 {side totaled} a hundred 3967 cubits 520.
15 ¶ He measured 4058 the length 753 of the building 1146 along 413 the front 6440 of the separate 1508 area 1508 behind it, with a gallery 862 on each 6311 side 6311, a hundred 3967 cubits 520; {he} also {measured} the inner 6442 nave 1964 and the porches 197 of the court 2691.
16 The thresholds 5592, the latticed 331 windows 2474 and the galleries 863 round 5439 about 5439 their three 7969 stories, opposite 5048 the threshold 5592, were paneled 7824 with wood 6086 all 5439 around 5439, and {from} the ground 776 to the windows 2474 (but the windows 2474 were covered 3680),
17 over 5921 the entrance 6607, and to the inner 6442 house 1004, and on the outside 2351, and on all 3605 the wall 7023 all 5439 around 5439 inside 6442 and outside 2435, by measurement 4060.
18 It was carved 6213 with cherubim 3742 and palm 8561 trees 8561; and a palm 8561 tree 8561 was between 996 cherub 3742 and cherub 3742, and every cherub 3742 had two 8147 faces 6440,
19 a man's 120 face 6440 toward 413 the palm 8561 tree 8561 on one side 6311 and a young 3715 lion's 3715 face 6440 toward 413 the palm 8561 tree 8561 on the other side 6311; they were carved 6213 on all 3605 the house 1004 all 5439 around 5439.
20 From the ground 776 to above the entrance 6607 cherubim 3742 and palm 8561 trees 8561 were carved 6213, as well as {on} the wall 7023 of the nave 1964.
21 ¶ The doorposts 4201 of the nave 1964 were square 7251; as for the front 6440 of the sanctuary 6944, the appearance 4758 of one doorpost 4201 was like that of the other.
22 The altar 4196 {was} of wood 6086, three 7969 cubits 520 high 1364 and its length 753 two 8147 cubits 520; its corners 4740, its base 753 and its sides 7023 {were} of wood 6086. And he said 1696 to me, "This 2088 is the table 7979 that is before 6440 the LORD 3068."
23 The nave 1964 and the sanctuary 6944 each had a double 8147 door 1817.
24 Each of the doors 1817 had two 8147 leaves 1817, two 8147 swinging 5437 leaves 1817; two 8147 {leaves} for one 259 door 1817 and two 8147 leaves 1817 for the other 312.
25 Also there were carved 6213 on them, on the doors 1817 of the nave 1964, cherubim 3742 and palm 8561 trees 8561 like those carved 6213 on the walls 7023; and {there was} a threshold 5646 of wood 6086 on the front 6440 of the porch 197 outside.
26 {There were} latticed 331 windows 2474 and palm 8561 trees 8561 on one side 6311 and on the other 6311, on the sides 3802 of the porch 197; thus {were} the side 6763 chambers 6763 of the house 1004 and the thresholds 5646.

Chambers of the Temple

Then he brought 3318 me out into the outer 2435 court 2691, the way 1870 toward 1870 the north 6828; and he brought 935 me to the chamber 3957 which 834 {was} opposite 5048 the separate 1508 area 1508 and opposite 5048 the building 1146 toward 413 the north 6828.
2 Along the length 753, {which was} a hundred 3967 cubits 520, {was} the north 6828 door 6607; the width 7341 {was} fifty 2572 cubits 520.
3 Opposite 5048 the twenty 6242 {cubits} which 834 belonged to the inner 6442 court 2691, and opposite 5048 the pavement 7531 which 834 belonged to the outer 2435 court 2691, {was} gallery 863 corresponding to gallery 863 in three 7992 stories.
4 Before 6440 the chambers 3957 {was} an inner 6442 walk 4109 ten 6235 cubits 520 wide 7341, a way 1870 of one 259 {hundred} cubits 520; and their openings 6607 {were} on the north 6828.
5 Now the upper 5945 chambers 3957 {were} smaller 7114 because 3588 the galleries 863 took 398 more 4480 {space} away 398 from them than 4480 from the lower 8481 and middle 8484 ones 8484 in the building 1146.
6 For they {were} in three 8027 stories and had 369 no 369 pillars 5982 like the pillars 5982 of the courts 2691; therefore {the upper chambers} were set 680 back 680 from the ground 776 upward, more 4480 than 4480 the lower 8481 and middle 8484 ones 8484.
7 As for the outer 2351 wall 1447 by the side 5980 of the chambers 3957, toward 1870 the outer 2435 court 2691 facing 6440 the chambers 3957, its length 753 {was} fifty 2572 cubits 520.
8 For the length 753 of the chambers 3957 which 834 {were} in the outer 2435 court 2691 {was} fifty 2572 cubits 520; and behold 2009, {the length of those} facing 6440 the temple 1964 {was} a hundred 3967 cubits 520.
9 Below 4480 these 428 chambers 3957 {was} the entrance 3996 on the east 6921 side 6921, as one enters 935 them from the outer 2435 court 2691.
10 ¶ In the thickness 7341 of the wall 1447 of the court 2691 toward 1870 the east 6921, facing the separate 1508 area 1508 and facing the building 1146, {there were} chambers 3957.
11 The way 1870 in front 6440 of them {was} like the appearance 4758 of the chambers 3957 which 834 {were} on the north 6828, according to their length 753 so 3651 was their width 7341, and all 3605 their exits 4161 {were} both according to their arrangements 4941 and openings 6607.
12 Corresponding to the openings 6607 of the chambers 3957 which 834 were toward 1870 the south 1864 was an opening 6607 at the head 7218 of the way 1870, the way 1870 in front 6440 of the wall 1448 toward 1870 the east 6921, as one enters 935 them.
13 ¶ Then he said 559 to me, "The north 6828 chambers 3957 {and} the south 1864 chambers 3957, which 834 are opposite the separate 1508 area 1508, they are the holy 6944 chambers 3957 where the priests 3548 who 834 are near 7138 to the LORD 3068 shall eat 398 the most 6944 holy 6944 things 6944. There 8033 they shall lay 5117 the most 6944 holy 6944 things 6944, the grain offering 4503, the sin 2403 offering 2403 and the guilt 817 offering 817; for the place 4725 is holy 6918.
14 "When the priests 3548 enter 935, then they shall not go 3318 out into the outer 2435 court 2691 from the sanctuary 6944 without laying 5117 there 8033 their garments 899 in which 834 they minister 8334, for they are holy 6944. They shall put 3847 on other 312 garments 899; then they shall approach 7126 that which 834 is for the people 5971."
15 ¶ Now when he had finished 3615 measuring 4060 the inner 6442 house 1004, he brought 3318 me out by the way 1870 of the gate 8179 which 834 faced 6440 toward 1870 the east 6921 and measured 4058 it all 5439 around 5439.
16 He measured 4058 on the east 6921 side 7307 with the measuring 4060 reed 7070 five 2568 hundred 3967 reeds 7070 by the measuring 4060 reed 7070.
17 He measured 4058 on the north 6828 side 7307 five 2568 hundred 3967 reeds 7070 by the measuring 4060 reed 7070.
18 On the south 1864 side 7307 he measured 4058 five 2568 hundred 3967 reeds 7070 with the measuring 4060 reed 7070.
19 He turned 5437 to the west 3220 side 7307 {and} measured 4058 five 2568 hundred 3967 reeds 7070 with the measuring 4060 reed 7070.
20 He measured 4058 it on the four 702 sides 7307; it had a wall 2346 all 5439 around 5439, the length 753 five 2568 hundred 3967 and the width 7341 five 2568 hundred 3967, to divide 914 between 996 the holy 6944 and the profane 2455.

Vision of the Glory of God Filling the Temple

Then he led 1980 me to the gate 8179, the gate 8179 facing 6437 toward 1870 the east 6921;
2 and behold 2009, the glory 3519 of the God 430 of Israel 3478 was coming 935 from the way 1870 of the east 6921. And His voice 6963 was like the sound 6963 of many 7227 waters 4325; and the earth 776 shone 215 with His glory 3519.
3 And {it was} like the appearance 4758 of the vision 4758 which 834 I saw 7200, like the vision 4758 which 834 I saw 7200 when He came 935 to destroy 7843 the city 5892. And the visions 4759 {were} like the vision 4758 which 834 I saw 7200 by the river 5104 Chebar 3529; and I fell 5307 on my face 6440.
4 And the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 came 935 into the house 1004 by the way 1870 of the gate 8179 facing 6440 toward 1870 the east 6921.
5 And the Spirit 7307 lifted 5375 me up and brought 935 me into the inner 6442 court 2691; and behold 2009, the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 filled 4390 the house 1004.
6 ¶ Then I heard 8085 one speaking 1696 to me from the house 1004, while a man 376 was standing 5975 beside 681 me.
7 He said 559 to me, "Son 1121 of man 120, {this is} the place 4725 of My throne 3678 and the place 4725 of the soles 3709 of My feet 7272, where I will dwell 7931 among 8432 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 forever 5769. And the house 1004 of Israel 3478 will not again 5750 defile 2930 My holy 6944 name 8034, neither they nor 3808 their kings 4428, by their harlotry 2184 and by the corpses 6297 of their kings 4428 when they die 4194,
8 by setting 5414 their threshold 5592 by My threshold 5592 and their door 4201 post 4201 beside 681 My door 4201 post 4201, with {only} the wall 7023 between 996 Me and them. And they have defiled 2930 My holy 6944 name 8034 by their abominations 8441 which 834 they have committed 6213. So I have consumed 3615 them in My anger 639.
9 "Now 6258 let them put 7368 away 7368 their harlotry 2184 and the corpses 6297 of their kings 4428 far 7368 from Me; and I will dwell 7931 among 8432 them forever 5769.
10 ¶ "As for you, son 1121 of man 120, describe 5046 the temple 1004 to the house 1004 of Israel 3478, that they may be ashamed 3637 of their iniquities 5771; and let them measure 4058 the plan 8508.
11 "If 518 they are ashamed 3637 of all 3605 that they have done 6213, make 3045 known 3045 to them the design 6699 of the house 1004, its structure 8499, its exits 4161, its entrances 4126, all 3605 its designs 6699, all 3605 its statutes 2708, and all 3605 its laws 8451. And write 3789 {it} in their sight 5869, so that they may observe 8104 its whole 3605 design 6699 and all 3605 its statutes 2708 and do 6213 them.
12 "This 2088 is the law 8451 of the house 1004: its entire 3605 area 1366 on the top 7218 of the mountain 2022 all 5439 around 5439 {shall be} most 6944 holy 6944. Behold 2009, this 2088 is the law 8451 of the house 1004.
13

The Altar of Sacrifice

¶ "And these 428 are the measurements 4060 of the altar 4196 by cubits 520 (the cubit 520 being a cubit 520 and a handbreadth 2948): the base 2436 {shall be} a cubit 520 and the width 7341 a cubit 520, and its border 1366 on its edge 8193 round 5439 about 5439 one 259 span 2239; and this 2088 {shall be} the {height} of the base 1354 of the altar 4196.
14 "From the base 2436 on the ground 776 to the lower 8481 ledge 5835 {shall be} two 8147 cubits 520 and the width 7341 one cubit 520; and from the smaller 6996 ledge 5835 to the larger 1419 ledge 5835 {shall be} four 702 cubits 520 and the width 7341 one 259 cubit 520.
15 "The altar 741 hearth 741 {shall be} four 702 cubits 520; and from the altar 741 hearth 741 shall extend upwards 4605 four 702 horns 7161.
16 "Now the altar 741 hearth 741 {shall be} twelve {cubits} long 753 by twelve wide 7341, square 7251 in its four 702 sides 7253.
17 "The ledge 5835 {shall be} fourteen {cubits} long 753 by fourteen wide 7341 in its four 702 sides 7253, the border 1366 around 5439 it {shall be} half 2677 a cubit 520 and its base 2436 {shall be} a cubit 520 round 5439 about 5439; and its steps 4609 shall face 6437 the east 6921."
18

The Offerings

¶ And He said 559 to me, "Son 1121 of man 120, thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'These 428 are the statutes 2708 for the altar 4196 on the day 3117 it is built 6213, to offer 5927 burnt 5930 offerings 5930 on it and to sprinkle 2236 blood 1818 on it.
19 'You shall give 5414 to the Levitical 3881 priests 3548 who 834 are from the offspring 2233 of Zadok 6659, who draw 7126 near 7138 to Me to minister 8334 to Me,' declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, 'a young 1121 bull 6499 for a sin 2403 offering 2403.
20 'You shall take 3947 some 4480 of its blood 1818 and put 5414 it on its four 702 horns 7161 and on the four 702 corners 6438 of the ledge 5835 and on the border 1366 round 5439 about 5439; thus you shall cleanse 2398 it and make 3722 atonement 3722 for it.
21 'You shall also take 3947 the bull 6499 for the sin 2403 offering 2403, and it {shall be} burned 8313 in the appointed 4662 place 4662 of the house 1004, outside the sanctuary 4720.
22 ¶ 'On the second 8145 day 3117 you shall offer 7126 a male 8163 goat 5795 without 8549 blemish 8549 for a sin 2403 offering 2403, and they shall cleanse 2398 the altar 4196 as they cleansed 2398 {it} with the bull 6499.
23 'When you have finished 3615 cleansing 2398 {it,} you shall present 7126 a young 1121 bull 6499 without 8549 blemish 8549 and a ram 352 without 8549 blemish 8549 from the flock 6629.
24 'You shall present 7126 them before 6440 the LORD 3068, and the priests 3548 shall throw 7993 salt 4417 on them, and they shall offer 5927 them up as a burnt 5930 offering 5930 to the LORD 3068.
25 'For seven 7651 days 3117 you shall prepare 6213 daily 3117 a goat 8163 for a sin 2403 offering 2403; also a young 1121 bull 6499 and a ram 352 from the flock 6629, without 8549 blemish 8549, shall be prepared 6213.
26 'For seven 7651 days 3117 they shall make 3722 atonement 3722 for the altar 4196 and purify 2891 it; so shall they consecrate it.
27 'When they have completed 3615 the days 3117, it shall be that on the eighth 8066 day 3117 and onward 1973, the priests 3548 shall offer 6213 your burnt 5930 offerings 5930 on the altar 4196, and your peace 8002 offerings 8002; and I will accept 7521 you,' declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068."

Gate for the Prince

Then He brought 7725 me back 7725 by the way 1870 of the outer 2435 gate 8179 of the sanctuary 4720, which faces 6437 the east 6921; and it was shut 5462.
2 The LORD 3068 said 559 to me, "This 2088 gate 8179 shall be shut 5462; it shall not be opened 6605, and no 3808 one 376 shall enter 935 by it, for the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 has entered 935 by it; therefore it shall be shut 5462.
3 "As for the prince 5387, he shall sit 3427 in it as prince 5387 to eat 398 bread 3899 before 6440 the LORD 3068; he shall enter 935 by way 1870 of the porch 197 of the gate 8179 and shall go 3318 out by the same way 1870."
4 ¶ Then He brought 935 me by way 1870 of the north 6828 gate 8179 to the front 6440 of the house 1004; and I looked 7200, and behold 2009, the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 filled 4390 the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and I fell 5307 on my face 6440.
5 The LORD 3068 said 559 to me, "Son 1121 of man 120, mark 7760 well 3820, see 7200 with your eyes 5869 and hear 8085 with your ears 241 all 3605 that I say 1696 to you concerning all 3605 the statutes 2708 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 and concerning all 3605 its laws 8451; and mark 7760 well 3820 the entrance 3996 of the house 1004, with all 3605 exits 4161 of the sanctuary 4720.
6 "You shall say 559 to the rebellious 4805 ones 4805, to the house 1004 of Israel 3478, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Enough 7227 of all 3605 your abominations 8441, O house 1004 of Israel 3478,
7 when you brought 935 in foreigners, uncircumcised 6189 in heart 3820 and uncircumcised 6189 in flesh 1320, to be in My sanctuary 4720 to profane 2490 it, {even} My house 1004, when you offered 7126 My food 3899, the fat 2459 and the blood 1818; for they made 6565 My covenant 1285 void 6565--{this} in addition 413 to all 3605 your abominations 8441.
8 "And you have not kept 8104 charge 4931 of My holy 6944 things 6944 yourselves, but you have set 7760 {foreigners} to keep 8104 charge 4931 of My sanctuary 4720."
9 ¶ 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "No foreigner uncircumcised 6189 in heart 3820 and uncircumcised 6189 in flesh 1320, of all 3605 the foreigners who 834 are among 8432 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, shall enter 935 My sanctuary 4720.
10 "But the Levites 3881 who 834 went 7368 far 7368 from Me when Israel 3478 went 8582 astray 8582, who 834 went 8582 astray 8582 from Me after 310 their idols 1544, shall bear 5375 the punishment 5771 for their iniquity 5771.
11 "Yet they shall be ministers 8334 in My sanctuary 4720, having oversight 6486 at the gates 8179 of the house 1004 and ministering 8334 in the house 1004; they shall slaughter 7819 the burnt 5930 offering 5930 and the sacrifice 2077 for the people 5971, and they shall stand 5975 before 6440 them to minister 8334 to them.
12 "Because they ministered 8334 to them before 6440 their idols 1544 and became 1961 a stumbling 4383 block 4383 of iniquity 5771 to the house 1004 of Israel 3478, therefore I have sworn against 5921 them," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "that they shall bear 5375 {the punishment 5771 for} their iniquity 5771.
13 "And they shall not come 5066 near 5066 to Me to serve 3547 as a priest 3547 to Me, nor 3808 come 5066 near 5066 to any 3605 of My holy 6944 things 6944, to the things 6944 that are most 6944 holy 6944; but they will bear 5375 their shame 3639 and their abominations 8441 which 834 they have committed 6213.
14 "Yet I will appoint 5414 them to keep 8104 charge 4931 of the house 1004, of all 3605 its service 5656 and of all 3605 that shall be done 6213 in it.

Ordinances for the Levites

¶ "But the Levitical 3881 priests 3548, the sons 1121 of Zadok 6659, who 834 kept 8104 charge 4931 of My sanctuary 4720 when the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 went 8582 astray 8582 from Me, shall come 7126 near 7126 to Me to minister 8334 to Me; and they shall stand 5975 before 6440 Me to offer 7126 Me the fat 2459 and the blood 1818," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
16 "They shall enter 935 My sanctuary 4720; they shall come 7126 near 7126 to My table 7979 to minister 8334 to Me and keep 8104 My charge 4931.
17 "It shall be that when they enter 935 at the gates 8179 of the inner 6442 court 2691, they shall be clothed 3847 with linen 6593 garments 899; and wool 6785 shall not be on them while they are ministering 8334 in the gates 8179 of the inner 6442 court 2691 and in the house 1004.
18 "Linen 6593 turbans 6287 shall be on their heads 7218 and linen 6593 undergarments 4370 shall be on their loins 4975; they shall not gird 2296 themselves with {anything which makes them} sweat 3154.
19 "When they go 3318 out into the outer 2435 court 2691, into the outer 2435 court 2691 to the people 5971, they shall put 6584 off 6584 their garments 899 in which 834 they have been ministering 8334 and lay 5117 them in the holy 6944 chambers 3957; then they shall put 3847 on other 312 garments 899 so 3808 that they will not transmit 6942 holiness 6942 to the people 5971 with their garments 899.
20 "Also they shall not shave 1548 their heads 7218, yet they shall not let their locks 6545 grow 7971 long 7971; they shall only 3697 trim 3697 {the hair of} their heads 7218.
21 "Nor 3808 shall any 3605 of the priests 3548 drink 8354 wine 3196 when they enter 935 the inner 6442 court 2691.
22 "And they shall not marry 3947 a widow 490 or a divorced 1644 woman but shall take 3947 virgins 1330 from the offspring 2233 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478, or a widow 490 who 834 is the widow 490 of a priest 3548.
23 "Moreover, they shall teach 3384 My people 5971 {the} {difference} between 996 the holy 6944 and the profane 2455, and cause them to discern 3045 between 996 the unclean 2931 and the clean 2889.
24 "In a dispute 7379 they shall take 5975 their stand 5975 to judge 8199; they shall judge 8199 it according to My ordinances 4941. They shall also keep 8104 My laws 8451 and My statutes 2708 in all 3605 My appointed 4150 feasts 4150 and sanctify 6942 My sabbaths 7676.
25 "They shall not go 935 to a dead 4191 person 120 to defile 2930 {themselves;} however, for father 1, for mother 517, for son 1121, for daughter 1323, for brother 251, or for a sister 269 who 834 has not had 1961 a husband 376, they may defile 2930 themselves.
26 "After 310 he is cleansed 2893, seven 7651 days 3117 shall elapse 5608 for him.
27 "On the day 3117 that he goes 935 into the sanctuary 6944, into the inner 6442 court 2691 to minister 8334 in the sanctuary 6944, he shall offer 7126 his sin 2403 offering 2403," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
28 ¶ "And it shall be with regard to an inheritance 5159 for them, {that} I am their inheritance 5159; and you shall give 5414 them no 3808 possession 272 in Israel 3478--I am their possession 272.
29 "They shall eat 398 the grain offering 4503, the sin 2403 offering 2403 and the guilt 817 offering 817; and every 3605 devoted 2764 thing 2764 in Israel 3478 shall be theirs.
30 "The first 7225 of all 3605 the first 1061 fruits 1061 of every 3605 kind and every 3605 contribution 8641 of every 3605 kind, from all 3605 your contributions 8641, shall be for the priests 3548; you shall also give 5414 to the priest 3548 the first 7225 of your dough 6182 to cause a blessing 1293 to rest 5117 on your house 1004.
31 "The priests 3548 shall not eat 398 any 3605 bird 5775 or beast 929 that has died 5038 a natural 5038 death 5038 or has been torn 2966 to pieces 2966.

The L\{ORD}/'\{S}/ Portion of the Land

"And when you divide 5307 by lot 5307 the land 776 for inheritance 5159, you shall offer 7311 an allotment 8641 to the LORD 3068, a holy 6944 portion 6944 of the land 776; the length 753 shall be the length 753 of 25,000 {cubits,} and the width 7341 shall be 20,000. It shall be holy 6944 within all 3605 its boundary 1366 round 5439 about 5439.

8 "This shall be his land 776 for a possession 272 in Israel 3478; so My princes 5387 shall no 3808 longer 5750 oppress 3238 My people 5971, but they shall give 5414 {the rest of} the land 776 to the house 1004 of Israel 3478 according to their tribes 7626."
9 ¶ 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Enough 7227, you princes 5387 of Israel 3478; put 5493 away 5493 violence 2555 and destruction 7701, and practice 6213 justice 4941 and righteousness 6666. Stop 7311 your expropriations 1646 from My people 5971," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
10 ¶ "You shall have 1961 just 6664 balances 3976, a just 6664 ephah 374 and a just 6664 bath 1324.
11 "The ephah 374 and the bath 1324 shall be the same 259 quantity 8506, so that the bath 1324 will contain 5375 a tenth 4643 of a homer 2563 and the ephah 374 a tenth 6224 of a homer 2563; their standard 4971 shall be according 413 to the homer 2563.
12 "The shekel 8255 shall be twenty 6242 gerahs 1626; twenty 6242 shekels 8255, twenty-five shekels 8255, {and} fifteen shekels 8255 shall be your maneh 4488.
13 ¶ "This 2088 is the offering 8641 that you shall offer 7311: a sixth 8345 of an ephah 374 from a homer 2563 of wheat 2406; a sixth 8341 of an ephah 374 from a homer 2563 of barley 8184;
14 and the prescribed 2706 portion 2706 of oil 8081 ({namely,} the bath 1324 of oil 8081), a tenth 4643 of a bath 1324 from {each} kor 3734 ({which is} ten 6235 baths 1324 {or} a homer 2563, for ten 6235 baths 1324 are a homer 2563);
15 and one 259 sheep 7716 from {each} flock 6629 of two hundred 3967 from the watering 4945 places 4945 of Israel 3478--for a grain offering 4503, for a burnt 5930 offering 5930 and for peace 8002 offerings 8002, to make 3722 atonement 3722 for them," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
16 "All 3605 the people 5971 of the land 776 shall give 1961 to this 2088 offering 8641 for the prince 5387 in Israel 3478.
17 "It shall be the prince's 5387 part 5921 {to provide} the burnt 5930 offerings 5930, the grain offerings 4503 and the drink 5262 offerings 5262, at the feasts 2282, on the new 2320 moons 2320 and on the sabbaths 7676, at all 3605 the appointed 4150 feasts 4150 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478; he shall provide 6213 the sin 2403 offering 2403, the grain offering 4503, the burnt 5930 offering 5930 and the peace 8002 offerings 8002, to make 3722 atonement 3722 for the house 1004 of Israel 3478."
18 ¶ 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "In the first 7223 {month,} on the first 259 of the month 2320, you shall take 3947 a young 1121 bull 6499 without 8549 blemish 8549 and cleanse 2398 the sanctuary 4720.
19 "The priest 3548 shall take 3947 some 4480 of the blood 1818 from the sin 2403 offering 2403 and put 5414 {it} on the door 4201 posts 4201 of the house 1004, on the four 702 corners 6438 of the ledge 5835 of the altar 4196 and on the posts 4201 of the gate 8179 of the inner 6442 court 2691.
20 "Thus 3651 you shall do 6213 on the seventh 7651 {day} of the month 2320 for everyone 376 who goes 7686 astray 7686 or is naive 6612; so you shall make 3722 atonement 3722 for the house 1004.
21 ¶ "In the first 7223 {month,} on the fourteenth day 3117 of the month 2320, you shall have 1961 the Passover 6453, a feast 2282 of seven 7620 days 3117; unleavened 4682 bread 4682 shall be eaten 398.
22 "On that day 3117 the prince 5387 shall provide 6213 for himself and all 3605 the people 5971 of the land 776 a bull 6499 for a sin 2403 offering 2403.
23 "{During} the seven 7651 days 3117 of the feast 2282 he shall provide 6213 as a burnt 5930 offering 5930 to the LORD 3068 seven 7651 bulls 6499 and seven 7651 rams 352 without 8549 blemish 8549 on every 3117 day 3117 of the seven 7651 days 3117, and a male 8163 goat 5795 daily 3117 for a sin 2403 offering 2403.
24 "He shall provide 6213 as a grain offering 4503 an ephah 374 with a bull 6499, an ephah 374 with a ram 352 and a hin 1969 of oil 8081 with an ephah 374.
25 "In the seventh 7637 {month,} on the fifteenth day 3117 of the month 2320, at the feast 2282, he shall provide 6213 like this 428, seven 7651 days 3117 for the sin 2403 offering 2403, the burnt 5930 offering 5930, the grain offering 4503 and the oil 8081."

The Prince's Offerings

'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "The gate 8179 of the inner 6442 court 2691 facing 6437 east 6921 shall be shut 5462 the six 8337 working 4639 days 3117; but it shall be opened 6605 on the sabbath 7676 day 3117 and opened 6605 on the day 3117 of the new 2320 moon 2320.
2 "The prince 5387 shall enter 935 by way 1870 of the porch 197 of the gate 8179 from outside 2351 and stand 5975 by the post 4201 of the gate 8179. Then the priests 3548 shall provide 6213 his burnt 5930 offering 5930 and his peace 8002 offerings 8002, and he shall worship 7812 at the threshold 4670 of the gate 8179 and then go 3318 out; but the gate 8179 shall not be shut 5462 until 5704 the evening 6153.
3 "The people 5971 of the land 776 shall also worship 7812 at the doorway 6607 of that gate 8179 before 6440 the LORD 3068 on the sabbaths 7676 and on the new 2320 moons 2320.
4 "The burnt 5930 offering 5930 which 834 the prince 5387 shall offer 7126 to the LORD 3068 on the sabbath 7676 day 3117 shall be six 8337 lambs 3532 without 8549 blemish 8549 and a ram 352 without 8549 blemish 8549;
5 and the grain offering 4503 shall be an ephah 374 with the ram 352, and the grain offering 4503 with the lambs 3532 as much 3027 as he is able 3027 to give 4991, and a hin 1969 of oil 8081 with an ephah 374.
6 "On the day 3117 of the new 2320 moon 2320 {he shall offer} a young 1121 bull 6499 without 8549 blemish 8549, also six 8337 lambs 3532 and a ram 352, {which} shall be without 8549 blemish 8549.
7 "And he shall provide 6213 a grain offering 4503, an ephah 374 with the bull 6499 and an ephah 374 with the ram 352, and with the lambs 3532 as much 3027 as he is able, and a hin 1969 of oil 8081 with an ephah 374.
8 "When the prince 5387 enters 935, he shall go 935 in by way 1870 of the porch 197 of the gate 8179 and go 3318 out by the same way 1870.
9 "But when the people 5971 of the land 776 come 935 before 6440 the LORD 3068 at the appointed 4150 feasts 4150, he who enters 935 by way 1870 of the north 6828 gate 8179 to worship 7812 shall go 3318 out by way 1870 of the south 5045 gate 8179. And he who enters 935 by way 1870 of the south 5045 gate 8179 shall go 3318 out by way 1870 of the north 6828 gate 8179. No 3808 one shall return 7725 by way 1870 of the gate 8179 by which 834 he entered 935 but shall go 3318 straight 3318 out.
10 "When they go 935 in, the prince 5387 shall go 935 in among 8432 them; and when they go 3318 out, he shall go 3318 out.
11 ¶ "At the festivals 2282 and the appointed 4150 feasts 4150 the grain offering 4503 shall be an ephah 374 with a bull 6499 and an ephah 374 with a ram 352, and with the lambs 3532 as much 3027 as one is able 3027 to give 4991, and a hin 1969 of oil 8081 with an ephah 374.
12 "When 3588 the prince 5387 provides 6213 a freewill 5071 offering 5071, a burnt 5930 offering 5930, or 176 peace 8002 offerings 8002 {as} a freewill 5071 offering 5071 to the LORD 3068, the gate 8179 facing 6437 east 6921 shall be opened 6605 for him. And he shall provide 6213 his burnt 5930 offering 5930 and his peace 8002 offerings 8002 as he does 6213 on the sabbath 7676 day 3117. Then he shall go 3318 out, and the gate 8179 shall be shut 5462 after 310 he goes 3318 out.
13 ¶ "And you shall provide 6213 a lamb 3532 a year 8141 old 1121 without 8549 blemish 8549 for a burnt 5930 offering 5930 to the LORD 3068 daily 3117; morning 1242 by morning 1242 you shall provide 6213 it.
14 "Also you shall provide 6213 a grain offering 4503 with it morning 1242 by morning 1242, a sixth 8345 of an ephah 374 and a third 7992 of a hin 1969 of oil 8081 to moisten 7450 the fine 5560 flour 5560, a grain offering 4503 to the LORD 3068 continually 8548 by a perpetual 5769 ordinance 2708.
15 "Thus they shall provide 6213 the lamb 3532, the grain offering 4503 and the oil 8081, morning 1242 by morning 1242, for a continual 8548 burnt 5930 offering 5930."
16 ¶ 'Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "If 3588 the prince 5387 gives 5414 a gift 4979 {out of} his inheritance 5159 to any 376 of his sons 1121, it shall belong 1961 to his sons 1121; it is their possession 272 by inheritance 5159.
17 "But if 3588 he gives 5414 a gift 4979 from his inheritance 5159 to one 259 of his servants 5650, it shall be his until 5704 the year 8141 of liberty 1865; then it shall return 7725 to the prince 5387. His inheritance 5159 {shall be} only 389 his sons' 1121; it shall belong 1961 to them.
18 "The prince 5387 shall not take 3947 from the people's 5971 inheritance 5159, thrusting 3238 them out of their possession 272; he shall give 5157 his sons 1121 inheritance 5157 from his own possession 272 so 4616 that My people 5971 will not be scattered 6327, anyone 376 from his possession 272."'"

The Boiling Places

¶ Then he brought 935 me through the entrance 3996, which {was} at the side 3802 of the gate 8179, into the holy 6944 chambers 3957 for the priests 3548, which faced 6437 north 6828; and behold 2009, there 8033 {was} a place 4725 at the extreme 3411 rear 3411 toward the west 3220.
20 He said 559 to me, "This 2088 is the place 4725 where the priests 3548 shall boil 1310 the guilt 817 offering 817 and the sin 2403 offering 2403 {and} where 834 they shall bake 644 the grain offering 4503, in order that they may not bring 3318 {them} out into the outer 2435 court 2691 to transmit 6942 holiness 6942 to the people 5971."
21 ¶ Then he brought 3318 me out into the outer 2435 court 2691 and led 5674 me across 5674 to the four 702 corners 4740 of the court 2691; and behold 2009, in every 4740 corner 4740 of the court 2691 {there was} a {small} court 2691.
22 In the four 702 corners 4740 of the court 2691 {there were} enclosed 7000 courts 2691, forty 705 {cubits} long 753 and thirty 7970 wide 7341; these four 702 in the corners 7106 {were} the same 259 size 4060.
23 {There was} a row 2905 {of masonry} round 5439 about 5439 in them, around 5439 the four 702 of them, and boiling 4018 places 4018 were made 6213 under 8478 the rows 2918 round 5439 about 5439.
24 Then he said 559 to me, "These 428 are the boiling 1310 places 1004 where the ministers 8334 of the house 1004 shall boil 1310 the sacrifices 2077 of the people 5971."

Water from the Temple

Then he brought 7725 me back 7725 to the door 6607 of the house 1004; and behold 2009, water 4325 was flowing 3318 from under 8478 the threshold 4670 of the house 1004 toward the east 6921, for the house 1004 faced 6440 east 6921. And the water 4325 was flowing 3381 down 3381 from under 8478, from the right 3233 side 3802 of the house 1004, from south 5045 of the altar 4196.
2 He brought 3318 me out by way 1870 of the north 6828 gate 8179 and led 5437 me around 5437 on the outside 2351 to the outer 2351 gate 8179 by way 1870 of {the gate} that faces 6437 east 6921. And behold 2009, water 4325 was trickling 6379 from the south 3233 side 3802.
3 ¶ When the man 376 went 3318 out toward the east 6921 with a line 6957 in his hand 3027, he measured 4058 a thousand 505 cubits 520, and he led 5674 me through 5674 the water 4325, water 4325 {reaching} the ankles 658.
4 Again he measured 4058 a thousand 505 and led 5674 me through 5674 the water 4325, water 4325 {reaching} the knees 1290. Again he measured 4058 a thousand 505 and led 5674 me through 5674 {the water,} water 4325 {reaching} the loins 4975.
5 Again he measured 4058 a thousand 505; {and it was} a river 5158 that I could 3201 not ford 5674, for the water 4325 had risen 1342, {enough} water 4325 to swim 7813 in, a river 5158 that could not be forded 5674.
6 He said 559 to me, "Son 1121 of man 120, have you seen 7200 {this?}" Then he brought 7725 me back 7725 to the bank 8193 of the river 5158.
7 Now when I had returned 7725, behold 2009, on the bank 8193 of the river 5158 there {were} very 3966 many 7227 trees 6086 on the one 2088 side 2088 and on the other 2088.
8 Then he said 559 to me, "These 428 waters 4325 go 3318 out toward 413 the eastern 6930 region 1552 and go 3381 down 3381 into the Arabah 6160; then they go 935 toward the sea 3220, being made to flow 3318 into the sea 3220, and the waters 4325 {of the sea} become 7495 fresh 7495.
9 "It will come 1961 about that every 3605 living 5315 creature 5315 which 834 swarms 8317 in every 3605 place where the river 5158 goes 935, will live 2421. And there will be very 3966 many 7227 fish 1710, for these 428 waters 4325 go 935 there 8033 and {the others} become 7495 fresh 7495; so everything 3605 will live 2421 where the river 5158 goes 935.
10 "And it will come 1961 about that fishermen 1728 will stand 5975 beside 5921 it; from Engedi 5872 to Eneglaim 5882 there will be a place 4894 for the spreading 4894 of nets 2764. Their fish 1710 will be according to their kinds 4327, like the fish 1710 of the Great 1419 Sea 3220, very 3966 many 7227.
11 "But its swamps 1207 and marshes 1207 will not become 7495 fresh 7495; they will be left 5414 for salt 4417.
12 "By the river 5158 on its bank 8193, on one 2088 side 2088 and on the other 2088, will grow 5927 all 3605 {kinds of} trees 6086 for food 3978. Their leaves 5929 will not wither 5034 and their fruit 6529 will not fail 8552. They will bear 1069 every month 2320 because 3588 their water 4325 flows 3318 from the sanctuary 4720, and their fruit 6529 will be for food 3978 and their leaves 5929 for healing 8644."

Boundaries and Division of the Land

¶ Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "This 2088 {shall be} the boundary 1366 by which 834 you shall divide 5157 the land 776 for an inheritance 5157 among the twelve tribes 7626 of Israel 3478; Joseph 3130 {shall have} two 8147 portions 2256.
14 "You shall divide 5157 it for an inheritance 5157, each 376 one 376 equally with the other 251; for I swore to give 5414 it to your forefathers 1, and this 2088 land 776 shall fall 5307 to you as an inheritance 5159.
15 ¶ "This 2088 {shall be} the boundary 1366 of the land 776: on the north 6828 side 6285, from the Great 1419 Sea 3220 {by} the way 1870 of Hethlon 2855, to the entrance 935 of Zedad 6657;
16 Hamath 2574, Berothah 1268, Sibraim 5453, which 834 is between 996 the border 1366 of Damascus 1834 and the border 1366 of Hamath 2574; Hazer-hatticon 2694, which 834 is by the border 1366 of Hauran 2362.
17 "The boundary 1366 shall extend 1961 from the sea 3220 {to} Hazar-enan 2703 {at} the border 1366 of Damascus 1834, and on the north 6828 toward the north 6828 is the border 1366 of Hamath 2574. This is the north 6828 side 6285.
18 ¶ "The east 6921 side 6285, from between 996 Hauran 2362, Damascus 1834, Gilead 1568 and the land 776 of Israel 3478, {shall be} the Jordan 3383; from the {north} border 1366 to the eastern 6931 sea 3220 you shall measure 4058. This is the east 6921 side 6285.
19 ¶ "The south 5045 side 6285 toward the south 8486 {shall extend} from Tamar 8559 as far 5704 as the waters 4325 of Meribath-kadesh, to the brook 5158 {of Egypt and} to the Great 1419 Sea 3220. This is the south 8486 side 6285 toward the south 5045.
20 ¶ "The west 3220 side 6285 {shall be} the Great 1419 Sea 3220, from the {south} border 1366 to a point opposite 5227 Lebo-hamath 935. This 2088 is the west 3220 side 6285.
21 ¶ "So you shall divide 2505 this 2088 land 776 among yourselves according to the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478.
22 "You shall divide 5307 it by lot 5307 for an inheritance 5159 among yourselves and among the aliens 1616 who stay 1481 in your midst 8432, who 834 bring 3205 forth 3205 sons 1121 in your midst 8432. And they shall be to you as the native-born 249 among the sons 1121 of Israel 3478; they shall be allotted 5307 an inheritance 5159 with you among 8432 the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478.
23 "And in the tribe 7626 with which 834 the alien 1616 stays 1481, there 8033 you shall give 5414 {him} his inheritance 5159," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.
