3:17 And every one[0259] had four[0702] faces[06440], and every one[0259] had four[0702] wings[03671].
3:18 And their feet[07272] were straight[03477] feet[07272]; and the sole[03709] of their feet[07272] was like the sole[03709] of a calf's[05695] foot[07272]: and they sparkled[05340][8802] like the colour[05869] of burnished[07044] brass[05178]. straight...: Heb. a straight foot

3:24 As for the likeness[01823] of the living creatures[02416], their appearance[04758] was like burning[01197][8802] coals[01513] of fire[0784], and like the appearance[04758] of lamps[03940]: it went up and down[01980][8693] among the living creatures[02416]; and the fire[0784] was bright[05051], and out of the fire[0784] went forth[03318][8802] lightning[01300].

4:3 And when the living creatures[02416] went[03212][8800], the wheels[0212] went[03212][8799] by them[0681]: and when the living creatures[02416] were lifted up[05375][8736] from the earth[0776], the wheels[0212] were lifted up[05375][8735].
4:4 Whithersoever the spirit[07307] was to go[03212][8800], they went[03212][8799], thither was their spirit[07307] to go[03212][8800]; and the wheels[0212] were lifted up[05375][8735] over against[05980] them: for the spirit[07307] of the living creature[02416] was in the wheels[0212]. of...: or, of life

4:6 And the likeness[01823] of the firmament[07549] upon the heads[07218] of the living creature[02416] was as the colour[05869] of the terrible[03372][8737] crystal[07140], stretched forth[05186][8803] over their heads[07218] above[04605].
4:7 And under the firmament[07549] were their wings[03671] straight[03477], the one[0802] toward the other[0269]: every one[0376] had two[08147], which covered[03680][8764] on this side[02007], and every one[0376] had two[08147], which covered[03680][8764] on that side[02007], their bodies[01472].
4:8 And when they went[03212][8800], I heard[08085][8799] the noise[06963] of their wings[03671], like the noise[06963] of great[07227] waters[04325], as the voice[06963] of the Almighty[07706], the voice[06963] of speech[01999], as the noise[06963] of an host[04264]: when they stood[05975][8800], they let down[07503][8762] their wings[03671].
4:9 And there was a voice[06963] from the firmament[07549] that was over their heads[07218], when they stood[05975][8800], and had let down[07503][8762] their wings[03671].
4:10 And above[04605] the firmament[07549] that was over their heads[07218] was the likeness[01823] of a throne[03678], as the appearance[04758] of a sapphire[05601] stone[068]: and upon the likeness[01823] of the throne[03678] was the likeness[01823] as the appearance[04758] of a man[0120] above[04605] upon it.
4:11 And I saw[07200][8799] as the colour[05869] of amber[02830], as the appearance[04758] of fire[0784] round about[05439] within[01004] it, from the appearance[04758] of his loins[04975] even upward[04605], and from the appearance[04758] of his loins[04975] even downward[04295], I saw[07200][8804] as it were the appearance[04758] of fire[0784], and it had brightness[05051] round about[05439].
4:12 As the appearance[04758] of the bow[07198] that is in the cloud[06051] in the day[03117] of rain[01653], so was the appearance[04758] of the brightness[05051] round about[05439]. This was the appearance[04758] of the likeness[01823] of the glory[03519] of the LORD[03068]. And when I saw[07200][8799] it , I fell[05307][8799] upon my face[06440], and I heard[08085][8799] a voice[06963] of one that spake[01696][8764].
4:13 And he said[0559][8799] unto me, Son[01121] of man[0120], stand[05975][8798] upon thy feet[07272], and I will speak[01696][8762] unto thee.
4:14 And the spirit[07307] entered[0935][8799] into me when he spake[01696][8765] unto me, and set[05975][8686] me upon my feet[07272], that I heard[08085][8799] him that spake[01696][8693] unto me.
4:15 And he said[0559][8799] unto me, Son[01121] of man[0120], I send[07971][8802] thee to the children[01121] of Israel[03478], to a rebellious[04775][8802] nation[01471] that hath rebelled[04775][8804] against me: they and their fathers[01] have transgressed[06586][8804] against me, even unto this very[06106] day[03117]. nation: Heb. nations
4:16 For they are impudent[07186][06440] children[01121] and stiffhearted[02389][03820]. I do send[07971][8802] thee unto them; and thou shalt say[0559][8804] unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]. impudent: Heb. hard of face
4:17 And they, whether they will hear[08085][8799], or whether they will forbear[02308][8799], (for they are a rebellious[04805] house[01004],) yet shall know[03045][8804] that there hath been a prophet[05030] among[08432] them.
5:1 And thou, son[01121] of man[0120], be not afraid[03372][8799] of them, neither be afraid[03372][8799] of their words[01697], though briers[05621] and thorns[05544] be with thee, and thou dost dwell[03427][8802] among scorpions[06137]: be not afraid[03372][8799] of their words[01697], nor be dismayed[02865][8735] at their looks[06440], though they be a rebellious[04805] house[01004]. briers...: or, rebels
5:2 And thou shalt speak[01696][8765] my words[01697] unto them, whether they will hear[08085][8799], or whether they will forbear[02308][8799]: for they are most rebellious[04805]. most...: Heb. rebellion
5:3 But thou, son[01121] of man[0120], hear[08085][8798] what I say[01696][8764] unto thee; Be not[01961][8799] thou rebellious[04805] like that rebellious[04805] house[01004]: open[06475][8798] thy mouth[06310], and eat[0398][8798] that I give[05414][8802] thee.
5:4 And when I looked[07200][8799], behold, an hand[03027] was sent[07971][8803] unto me; and, lo, a roll[04039] of a book[05612] was therein;
5:5 And he spread[06566][8799] it before[06440] me; and it was written[03789][8803] within[06440] and without[0268]: and there was written[03789][8803] therein lamentations[07015], and mourning[01899], and woe[01958].
5:6 Moreover he said[0559][8799] unto me, Son[01121] of man[0120], eat[0398][8798] that thou findest[04672][8799]; eat[0398][8798] this roll[04039], and go[03212][8798] speak[01696][8761] unto the house[01004] of Israel[03478].
5:7 So I opened[06605][8799] my mouth[06310], and he caused me to eat[0398][8686] that roll[04039].
5:8 And he said[0559][8799] unto me, Son[01121] of man[0120], cause thy belly[0990] to eat[0398][8686], and fill[04390][8762] thy bowels[04578] with this roll[04039] that I give[05414][8802] thee. Then did I eat[0398][8799] it ; and it was in my mouth[06310] as honey[01706] for sweetness[04966].
5:9 And he said[0559][8799] unto me, Son[01121] of man[0120], go[03212][8798], get[0935][8798] thee unto the house[01004] of Israel[03478], and speak[01696][8765] with my words[01697] unto them.
5:10 For thou art not sent[07971][8803] to a people[05971] of a strange[06012] speech[08193] and of an hard[03515] language[03956], but to the house[01004] of Israel[03478]; of a...: Heb. deep of lip, and heavy of tongue
5:11 Not to many[07227] people[05971] of a strange[06012] speech[08193] and of an hard[03515] language[03956], whose words[01697] thou canst not understand[08085][8799]. Surely, had I sent[07971][8804] thee to them, they would have hearkened[08085][8799] unto thee. of a...: Heb. deep of lip, and heavy of language Surely...: or, If I had sent thee, etc. would they not have hearkened unto thee?
5:12 But the house[01004] of Israel[03478] will[014][8799] not hearken[08085][8800] unto thee; for they will[014][8802] not hearken[08085][8800] unto me: for all the house[01004] of Israel[03478] are impudent[02389][04696] and hardhearted[07186][03820]. impudent...: Heb. stiff of forehead, and hard of heart
5:13 Behold, I have made[05414][8804] thy face[06440] strong[02389] against[05980] their faces[06440], and thy forehead[04696] strong[02389] against[05980] their foreheads[04696].
5:14 As an adamant[08068] harder[02389] than flint[06864] have I made[05414][8804] thy forehead[04696]: fear[03372][8799] them not, neither be dismayed[02865][8735] at their looks[06440], though they be a rebellious[04805] house[01004].
5:15 Moreover he said[0559][8799] unto me, Son[01121] of man[0120], all my words[01697] that I shall speak[01696][8762] unto thee receive[03947][8798] in thine heart[03824], and hear[08085][8798] with thine ears[0241].
5:16 And go[03212][8798], get[0935][8798] thee to them of the captivity[01473], unto the children[01121] of thy people[05971], and speak[01696][8765] unto them, and tell[0559][8804] them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; whether they will hear[08085][8799], or whether they will forbear[02308][8799].
5:17 Then the spirit[07307] took me up[05375][8799], and I heard[08085][8799] behind[0310] me a voice[06963] of a great[01419] rushing[07494], saying , Blessed[01288][8803] be the glory[03519] of the LORD[03068] from his place[04725].
6:1 I heard also the noise[06963] of the wings[03671] of the living creatures[02416] that touched[05401][8688] one[0802] another[0269], and the noise[06963] of the wheels[0212] over against[05980] them, and a noise[06963] of a great[01419] rushing[07494]. touched: Heb. kissed
6:2 So the spirit[07307] lifted me up[05375][8804], and took me away[03947][8799], and I went[03212][8799] in bitterness[04751], in the heat[02534] of my spirit[07307]; but the hand[03027] of the LORD[03068] was strong[02388][8804] upon me. in bitterness: Heb. bitter heat: Heb. hot anger
6:3 Then I came[0935][8799] to them of the captivity[01473] at Telabib[08512], that dwelt[03427][8802] by the river[05104] of Chebar[03529], and I sat[03427][8799] where they sat[03427][8799], and remained[03427][8799] there astonished[08074][8688] among[08432] them seven[07651] days[03117].
6:4 And it came to pass at the end[07097] of seven[07651] days[03117], that the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
6:5 Son[01121] of man[0120], I have made[05414][8804] thee a watchman[06822][8802] unto the house[01004] of Israel[03478]: therefore hear[08085][8804] the word[01697] at my mouth[06310], and give them warning[02094][8689] from me.
6:6 When I say[0559][8800] unto the wicked[07563], Thou shalt surely[04191][8800] die[04191][8799]; and thou givest him not warning[02094][8689], nor speakest[01696][8765] to warn[02094][8687] the wicked[07563] from his wicked[07563] way[01870], to save his life[02421][8763]; the same wicked[07563] man shall die[04191][8799] in his iniquity[05771]; but his blood[01818] will I require[01245][8762] at thine hand[03027].
6:7 Yet if thou warn[02094][8689] the wicked[07563], and he turn[07725][8804] not from his wickedness[07562], nor from his wicked[07563] way[01870], he shall die[04191][8799] in his iniquity[05771]; but thou hast delivered[05337][8689] thy soul[05315].
6:8 Again[07725][00], When a righteous[06662] man doth turn[07725][8800] from his righteousness[06664], and commit[06213][8804] iniquity[05766], and I lay[05414][8804] a stumblingblock[04383] before[06440] him, he shall die[04191][8799]: because thou hast not given him warning[02094][8689], he shall die[04191][8799] in his sin[02403], and his righteousness[06666] which he hath done[06213][8804] shall not be remembered[02142][8735]; but his blood[01818] will I require[01245][8762] at thine hand[03027]. righteousness which: Heb. righteousnesses
6:9 Nevertheless if thou warn[02094][8689] the righteous[06662] man , that the righteous[06662] sin[02398][8800] not, and he doth not sin[02398][8804], he shall surely[02421][8800] live[02421][8799], because he is warned[02094][8737]; also thou hast delivered[05337][8689] thy soul[05315].
6:10 And the hand[03027] of the LORD[03068] was there upon me; and he said[0559][8799] unto me, Arise[06965][8798], go forth[03318][8798] into the plain[01237], and I will there talk[01696][8762] with thee.
6:11 Then I arose[06965][8799], and went forth[03318][8799] into the plain[01237]: and, behold, the glory[03519] of the LORD[03068] stood[05975][8802] there, as the glory[03519] which I saw[07200][8804] by the river[05104] of Chebar[03529]: and I fell[05307][8799] on my face[06440].
6:12 Then the spirit[07307] entered[0935][8799] into me, and set[05975][8686] me upon my feet[07272], and spake[01696][8762] with me, and said[0559][8799] unto me, Go[0935][8798], shut[05462][8734] thyself within[08432] thine house[01004].
6:13 But thou, O son[01121] of man[0120], behold, they shall put[05414][8804] bands[05688] upon thee, and shall bind[0631][8804] thee with them, and thou shalt not go out[03318][8799] among[08432] them:
6:14 And I will make thy tongue[03956] cleave[01692][8686] to the roof of thy mouth[02441], that thou shalt be dumb[0481][8738], and shalt not be to them a reprover[0376][03198][8688]: for they are a rebellious[04805] house[01004]. a reprover: Heb. a man reproving
7:1 But when I speak[01696][8763] with[0854] thee, I will open[06605][8799] thy mouth[06310], and thou shalt say[0559][8804] unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; He that heareth[08085][8802], let him hear[08085][8799]; and he that forbeareth[02310], let him forbear[02308][8799]: for they are a rebellious[04805] house[01004].
7:2 Thou also, son[01121] of man[0120], take[03947][8798] thee a tile[03843], and lay[05414][8804] it before[06440] thee, and pourtray[02710][8804] upon it the city[05892], even Jerusalem[03389]:
7:3 And lay[05414][8804] siege[04692] against it, and build[01129][8804] a fort[01785] against it, and cast[08210][8804] a mount[05550] against it; set[05414][8804] the camp[04264] also against it, and set[07760][8798]  battering rams[03733] against it round about[05439]. battering...: chief leaders
7:4 Moreover take[03947][8798] thou unto thee an iron[01270] pan[04227], and set[05414][8804] it for a wall[07023] of iron[01270] between thee and the city[05892]: and set[03559][8689] thy face[06440] against it, and it shall be besieged[04692], and thou shalt lay siege[06696][8804] against it. This shall be a sign[0226] to the house[01004] of Israel[03478]. an...: or, a flat plate, or, slice
7:5 Lie[07901][8798] thou also upon thy left[08042] side[06654], and lay[07760][8804] the iniquity[05771] of the house[01004] of Israel[03478] upon it: according to the number[04557] of the days[03117] that thou shalt lie[07901][8799] upon it thou shalt bear[05375][8799] their iniquity[05771].
7:6 For I have laid[05414][8804] upon thee the years[08141] of their iniquity[05771], according to the number[04557] of the days[03117], three[07969] hundred[03967] and ninety[08673] days[03117]: so shalt thou bear[05375][8804] the iniquity[05771] of the house[01004] of Israel[03478].
7:7 And when thou hast accomplished[03615][8765] them[0428], lie[07901][8804] again[08145] on thy right[03233][8675][03227] side[06654], and thou shalt bear[05375][8804] the iniquity[05771] of the house[01004] of Judah[03063] forty[0705] days[03117]: I have appointed[05414][8804] thee each day[03117][03117] for a year[08141][08141]. each...: Heb. a day for a year, a day for a year
7:8 Therefore thou shalt set[03559][8686] thy face[06440] toward the siege[04692] of Jerusalem[03389], and thine arm[02220] shall be uncovered[02834][8803], and thou shalt prophesy[05012][8738] against it.
7:9 And, behold, I will lay[05414][8804] bands[05688] upon thee, and thou shalt not turn[02015][8735] thee from one side[06654] to another[06654], till thou hast ended[03615][8763] the days[03117] of thy siege[04692]. from one...: Heb. from thy side to thy side

7:12 Thou shalt drink[08354][8799] also water[04325] by measure[04884], the sixth part[08345] of an hin[01969]: from time[06256] to time[06256] shalt thou drink[08354][8799].
7:13 And thou shalt eat[0398][8799] it as barley[08184] cakes[05692], and thou shalt bake[05746][8799] it with dung[01561] that cometh out[06627] of man[0120], in their sight[05869].
7:14 And the LORD[03068] said[0559][8799], Even thus shall the children[01121] of Israel[03478] eat[0398][8799] their defiled[02931] bread[03899] among the Gentiles[01471], whither I will drive[05080][8686] them.
7:15 Then said[0559][8799] I, Ah[0162] Lord[0136] GOD[03069]! behold, my soul[05315] hath not been polluted[02930][8794]: for from my youth[05271] up even till now have I not eaten[0398][8804] of that which dieth of itself[05038], or is torn in pieces[02966]; neither came[0935][8804] there abominable[06292] flesh[01320] into my mouth[06310].
7:16 Then he said[0559][8799] unto me, Lo[07200][8798], I have given[05414][8804] thee cow's[01241] dung[06832][8675][06832] for man's[0120] dung[01561], and thou shalt prepare[06213][8804] thy bread[03899] therewith.
7:17 Moreover he said[0559][8799] unto me, Son[01121] of man[0120], behold, I will break[07665][8799] the staff[04294] of bread[03899] in Jerusalem[03389]: and they shall eat[0398][8804] bread[03899] by weight[04948], and with care[01674]; and they shall drink[08354][8799] water[04325] by measure[04884], and with astonishment[08078]:
7:18 That they may want[02637][8799] bread[03899] and water[04325], and be astonied[08074][8738] one[0376] with another[0251], and consume away[04743][8738] for their iniquity[05771].
7:19 And thou, son[01121] of man[0120], take[03947][8798] thee a sharp[02299] knife[02719], take[03947][8799] thee a barber's[01532] razor[08593], and cause it to pass[05674][8689] upon thine head[07218] and upon thy beard[02206]: then take[03947][8804] thee balances[03976] to weigh[04948], and divide[02505][8765] the hair .
7:20 Thou shalt burn[01197][8686] with fire[0217] a third part[07992] in the midst[08432] of the city[05892], when the days[03117] of the siege[04692] are fulfilled[04390][8800]: and thou shalt take[03947][8804] a third part[07992], and smite[05221][8686] about[05439] it with a knife[02719]: and a third part[07992] thou shalt scatter[02219][8799] in the wind[07307]; and I will draw out[07324][8686] a sword[02719] after[0310] them.
7:21 Thou shalt also take[03947][8804] thereof a few[04592] in number[04557], and bind[06696][8804] them in thy skirts[03671]. skirts: Heb. wings
7:22 Then take of them again[03947][8799], and cast[07993][8689] them into the midst[08432] of the fire[0784], and burn[08313][8804] them in the fire[0784]; for thereof shall a fire[0784] come forth[03318][8799] into all the house[01004] of Israel[03478].
7:23 Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; This is Jerusalem[03389]: I have set[07760][8804] it in the midst[08432] of the nations[01471] and countries[0776] that are round about[05439] her.
7:24 And she hath changed[04784][8686] my judgments[04941] into wickedness[07564] more than the nations[01471], and my statutes[02708] more than the countries[0776] that are round about[05439] her: for they have refused[03988][8804] my judgments[04941] and my statutes[02708], they have not walked[01980][8804] in them.
7:25 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Because ye multiplied[01995][8800] more than the nations[01471] that are round about[05439] you, and have not walked[01980][8804] in my statutes[02708], neither have kept[06213][8804] my judgments[04941], neither have done[06213][8804] according to the judgments[04941] of the nations[01471] that are round about[05439] you;
7:26 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute[06213][8804] judgments[04941] in the midst[08432] of thee in the sight[05869] of the nations[01471].
7:27 And I will do[06213][8804] in thee that which I have not done[06213][8804], and whereunto I will not do[06213][8799] any more the like, because[03282] of all thine abominations[08441].
8:1 Therefore the fathers[01] shall eat[0398][8799] the sons[01121] in the midst[08432] of thee, and the sons[01121] shall eat[0398][8799] their fathers[01]; and I will execute[06213][8804] judgments[08201] in thee, and the whole remnant[07611] of thee will I scatter[02219][8765] into all the winds[07307].
8:2 Wherefore, as I live[02416], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Surely, because thou hast defiled[02930][8765] my sanctuary[04720] with all thy detestable things[08251], and with all thine abominations[08441], therefore will I also diminish[01639][8799] thee ; neither shall mine eye[05869] spare[02347][8799], neither will I have any pity[02550][8799].
8:3 A third part[07992] of thee shall die[04191][8799] with the pestilence[01698], and with famine[07458] shall they be consumed[03615][8799] in the midst[08432] of thee: and a third part[07992] shall fall[05307][8799] by the sword[02719] round about[05439] thee; and I will scatter[02219][8762] a third part[07992] into all the winds[07307], and I will draw out[07324][8686] a sword[02719] after[0310] them.
8:4 Thus shall mine anger[0639] be accomplished[03615][8804], and I will cause my fury[02534] to rest[05117][8689] upon them, and I will be comforted[05162][8694]: and they shall know[03045][8804] that I the LORD[03068] have spoken[01696][8765] it in my zeal[07068], when I have accomplished[03615][8763] my fury[02534] in them.
8:5 Moreover I will make[05414][8799] thee waste[02723], and a reproach[02781] among the nations[01471] that are round about[05439] thee, in the sight[05869] of all that pass by[05674][8802].
8:6 So it shall be a reproach[02781] and a taunt[01422], an instruction[04148] and an astonishment[04923] unto the nations[01471] that are round about[05439] thee, when I shall execute[06213][8800] judgments[08201] in thee in anger[0639] and in fury[02534] and in furious[02534] rebukes[08433]. I the LORD[03068] have spoken[01696][8765] it .
8:7 When I shall send[07971][8762] upon them the evil[07451] arrows[02671] of famine[07458], which shall be for their destruction[04889], and which I will send[07971][8763] to destroy[07843][8763] you: and I will increase[03254][8686] the famine[07458] upon you, and will break[07665][8804] your staff[04294] of bread[03899]:
8:8 So will I send[07971][8765] upon you famine[07458] and evil[07451] beasts[02416], and they shall bereave[07921][8765] thee; and pestilence[01698] and blood[01818] shall pass through[05674][8799] thee; and I will bring[0935][8686] the sword[02719] upon thee. I the LORD[03068] have spoken[01696][8765] it .
8:9 And the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
8:10 Son[01121] of man[0120], set[07760][8798] thy face[06440] toward the mountains[02022] of Israel[03478], and prophesy[05012][8734] against them,
8:11 And say[0559][8804], Ye mountains[02022] of Israel[03478], hear[08085][8798] the word[01697] of the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069] to the mountains[02022], and to the hills[01389], to the rivers[0650], and to the valleys[01516]; Behold, I, even I, will bring[0935][8688] a sword[02719] upon you, and I will destroy[06][8765] your high places[01116].
8:12 And your altars[04196] shall be desolate[08074][8738], and your images[02553] shall be broken[07665][8738]: and I will cast down[05307][8689] your slain[02491] men before[06440] your idols[01544]. images: or, sun images
8:13 And I will lay[05414][8804] the dead carcases[06297] of the children[01121] of Israel[03478] before[06440] their idols[01544]; and I will scatter[02219][8765] your bones[06106] round about[05439] your altars[04196]. lay: Heb. give
8:14 In all your dwellingplaces[04186] the cities[05892] shall be laid waste[02717][8799], and the high places[01116] shall be desolate[03456][8799]; that your altars[04196] may be laid waste[02717][8799] and made desolate[0816][8799], and your idols[01544] may be broken[07665][8738] and cease[07673][8738], and your images[02553] may be cut down[01438][8738], and your works[04639] may be abolished[04229][8738]. images: or, sun images
8:15 And the slain[02491] shall fall[05307][8804] in the midst[08432] of you, and ye shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068].
8:16 Yet will I leave a remnant[03498][8689], that ye may have some that shall escape[06412] the sword[02719] among the nations[01471], when ye shall be scattered[02219][8736] through the countries[0776].
8:17 And they that escape[06412] of you shall remember[02142][8804] me among the nations[01471] whither they shall be carried captives[07617][8738], because I am broken[07665][8738] with their whorish[02181][8802] heart[03820], which hath departed[05493][8804] from me, and with their eyes[05869], which go a whoring[02181][8802] after[0310] their idols[01544]: and they shall lothe[06962][8738] themselves[06440] for the evils[07451] which they have committed[06213][8804] in all their abominations[08441].
8:18 And they shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068], and that I have not said[01696][8765] in vain[02600] that I would do[06213][8800] this evil[07451] unto them.
9:1 Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Smite[05221][8685] with thine hand[03709], and stamp[07554][8798] with thy foot[07272], and say[0559][8798], Alas[0253] for all the evil[07451] abominations[08441] of the house[01004] of Israel[03478]! for they shall fall[05307][8799] by the sword[02719], by the famine[07458], and by the pestilence[01698].
9:2 He that is far off[07350] shall die[04191][8799] of the pestilence[01698]; and he that is near[07138] shall fall[05307][8799] by the sword[02719]; and he that remaineth[07604][8737] and is besieged[05341][8803] shall die[04191][8799] by the famine[07458]: thus will I accomplish[03615][8765] my fury[02534] upon them.
9:3 Then shall ye know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068], when their slain[02491] men shall be among[08432] their idols[01544] round about[05439] their altars[04196], upon every high[07311][8802] hill[01389], in all the tops[07218] of the mountains[02022], and under every green[07488] tree[06086], and under every thick[05687] oak[0424], the place[04725] where they did offer[05414][8804] sweet[05207] savour[07381] to all their idols[01544].
9:4 So will I stretch out[05186][8804] my hand[03027] upon them, and make[05414][8804] the land[0776] desolate[08077], yea, more desolate[04923] than the wilderness[04057] toward Diblath[01689], in all their habitations[04186]: and they shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068]. more...: or, desolate from the wilderness
9:5 Moreover the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],

9:9 Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; An evil[07451], an only[0259] evil[07451], behold, is come[0935][8802].

10:2 And mine eye[05869] shall not spare[02347][8799], neither will I have pity[02550][8799]: I will recompense[05414][8799] thee according to thy ways[01870] and thine abominations[08441] that are in the midst[08432] of thee; and ye shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068] that smiteth[05221][8688]. thee according: Heb. upon thee, etc

10:17 Wherefore I will bring[0935][8689] the worst[07451] of the heathen[01471], and they shall possess[03423][8804] their houses[01004]: I will also make the pomp[01347] of the strong[05794] to cease[07673][8689]; and their holy places[06942][8764] shall be defiled[02490][8738][8676][05157][8765]. their holy...: or, they shall inherit their holy places

So I lifted up[05375][8799] mine eyes[05869] the way[01870] toward the north[06828], and behold northward[06828] at the gate[08179] of the altar[04196] this image[05566] of jealousy[07068] in the entry[0872].
11:4 He said[0559][8799] furthermore unto me, Son[01121] of man[0120], seest[07200][8802] thou what they do[06213][8802]? even the great[01419] abominations[08441] that the house[01004] of Israel[03478] committeth[06213][8802] here, that I should go far off[07368][8800] from my sanctuary[04720]? but turn[07725][8799] thee yet again, and thou shalt see[07200][8799] greater[01419] abominations[08441].
11:5 And he brought[0935][8686] me to the door[06607] of the court[02691]; and when I looked[07200][8799], behold a[0259] hole[02356] in the wall[07023].
11:6 Then said[0559][8799] he unto me, Son[01121] of man[0120], dig[02864][8798] now in the wall[07023]: and when I had digged[02864][8799] in the wall[07023], behold a[0259] door[06607].
11:7 And he said[0559][8799] unto me, Go in[0935][8798], and behold[07200][8798] the wicked[07451] abominations[08441] that they do[06213][8802] here.
11:8 So I went in[0935][8799] and saw[07200][8799]; and behold every form[08403] of creeping things[07431], and abominable[08263] beasts[0929], and all the idols[01544] of the house[01004] of Israel[03478], pourtrayed[02707][8794] upon the wall[07023] round about[05439].
11:9 And there stood[05975][8802] before[06440] them seventy[07657] men[0376] of the ancients[02205] of the house[01004] of Israel[03478], and in the midst[08432] of them stood[05975][8802] Jaazaniah[02970] the son[01121] of Shaphan[08227], with every man[0376] his censer[04730] in his hand[03027]; and a thick[06282] cloud[06051] of incense[07004] went up[05927][8802].
11:10 Then said[0559][8799] he unto me, Son[01121] of man[0120], hast thou seen[07200][8804] what the ancients[02205] of the house[01004] of Israel[03478] do[06213][8802] in the dark[02822], every man[0376] in the chambers[02315] of his imagery[04906]? for they say[0559][8802], The LORD[03068] seeth[07200][8802] us not; the LORD[03068] hath forsaken[05800][8804] the earth[0776].
11:11 He said[0559][8799] also unto me, Turn[07725][8799] thee yet again, and thou shalt see[07200][8799] greater[01419] abominations[08441] that they do[06213][8802].
11:12 Then he brought[0935][8686] me to the door[06607] of the gate[08179] of the LORD'S[03068] house[01004] which was toward the north[06828]; and, behold, there sat[03427][8802] women[0802] weeping[01058][8764] for Tammuz[08542].
11:13 Then said[0559][8799] he unto me, Hast thou seen[07200][8804] this , O son[01121] of man[0120]? turn[07725][8799] thee yet again, and thou shalt see[07200][8799] greater[01419] abominations[08441] than these.
11:14 And he brought[0935][8686] me into the inner[06442] court[02691] of the LORD'S[03068] house[01004], and, behold, at the door[06607] of the temple[01964] of the LORD[03068], between the porch[0197] and the altar[04196],  were about five[02568] and twenty[06242] men[0376], with their backs[0268] toward the temple[01964] of the LORD[03068], and their faces[06440] toward the east[06924]; and they worshipped[07812][8693] the sun[08121] toward the east[06924].
11:15 Then he said[0559][8799] unto me, Hast thou seen[07200][8804] this , O son[01121] of man[0120]? Is it a light thing[07043][8738] to the house[01004] of Judah[03063] that they commit[06213][8800] the abominations[08441] which they commit[06213][8804] here? for they have filled[04390][8804] the land[0776] with violence[02555], and have returned[07725][8799] to provoke me to anger[03707][8687]: and, lo, they put[07971][8802] the branch[02156] to their nose[0639]. Is it...: or, Is there any thing lighter than to commit
11:16 Therefore will I also deal[06213][8799] in fury[02534]: mine eye[05869] shall not spare[02347][8799], neither will I have pity[02550][8799]: and though they cry[07121][8804] in mine ears[0241] with a loud[01419] voice[06963], yet will I not hear[08085][8799] them.
11:17 He cried[07121][8799] also in mine ears[0241] with a loud[01419] voice[06963], saying[0559][8800], Cause them that have charge[06486] over the city[05892] to draw near[07126][8804], even every man[0376] with his destroying[04892] weapon[03627] in his hand[03027].
11:18 And, behold, six[08337] men[0582] came[0935][8802] from the way[01870] of the higher[05945] gate[08179], which lieth[06437][8716] toward the north[06828], and every man[0376] a slaughter[04660] weapon[03627] in his hand[03027]; and one[0259] man[0376] among[08432] them was clothed[03847][8803] with linen[0906], with a writer's[05608][8802] inkhorn[07083] by his side[04975]: and they went in[0935][8799], and stood[05975][8799] beside[0681] the brasen[05178] altar[04196]. which lieth: Heb. which is turned a slaughter...: Heb. a weapon of his breaking in pieces by his...: Heb. upon his loins
11:19 And the glory[03519] of the God[0430] of Israel[03478] was gone up[05927][8738] from the cherub[03742], whereupon he was, to the threshold[04670] of the house[01004]. And he called[07121][8799] to the man[0376] clothed[03847][8803] with linen[0906], which had the writer's[05608][8802] inkhorn[07083] by his side[04975];
11:20 And the LORD[03068] said[0559][8799] unto him, Go through[05674][8798] the midst[08432] of the city[05892], through the midst[08432] of Jerusalem[03389], and set[08427][8689] a mark[08420] upon the foreheads[04696] of the men[0582] that sigh[0584][8737] and that cry[0602][8737] for all the abominations[08441] that be done[06213][8737] in the midst[08432] thereof. set a mark: Heb. mark a mark
11:21 And to the others[0428] he said[0559][8804] in mine hearing[0241], Go[05674][8798] ye after[0310] him through the city[05892], and smite[05221][8685]: let not your eye[05869] spare[02347][8799], neither have ye pity[02550][8799]: mine hearing: Heb. mine ears
11:22 Slay[02026][8799] utterly[04889] old[02205] and young[0970], both maids[01330], and little children[02945], and women[0802]: but come not near[05066][8799] any man[0376] upon whom is the mark[08420]; and begin[02490][8686] at my sanctuary[04720]. Then they began[02490][8686] at the ancient[02205] men[0582] which were before[06440] the house[01004]. utterly: Heb. to destruction
11:23 And he said[0559][8799] unto them, Defile[02930][8761] the house[01004], and fill[04390][8761] the courts[02691] with the slain[02491]: go ye forth[03318][8798]. And they went forth[03318][8804], and slew[05221][8689] in the city[05892].
11:24 And it came to pass, while they were slaying[05221][8687] them, and I was left[07604][8737], that I fell[05307][8799] upon my face[06440], and cried[02199][8799], and said[0559][8799], Ah[0162] Lord[0136] GOD[03069]! wilt thou destroy[07843][8688] all the residue[07611] of Israel[03478] in thy pouring out[08210][8800] of thy fury[02534] upon Jerusalem[03389]?
11:25 Then said[0559][8799] he unto me, The iniquity[05771] of the house[01004] of Israel[03478] and Judah[03063] is exceeding[03966][03966] great[01419], and the land[0776] is full[04390][8735] of blood[01818], and the city[05892] full[04390][8804] of perverseness[04297]: for they say[0559][8804], The LORD[03068] hath forsaken[05800][8804] the earth[0776], and the LORD[03068] seeth[07200][8802] not. full of blood: Heb. filled with, etc perverseness: or, wresting of judgment
12:1 And as for me also, mine eye[05869] shall not spare[02347][8799], neither will I have pity[02550][8799], but I will recompense[05414][8804] their way[01870] upon their head[07218].
12:2 And, behold, the man[0376] clothed[03847][8803] with linen[0906], which had the inkhorn[07083] by his side[04975], reported[07725][8688] the matter[01697], saying[0559][8800], I have done[06213][8804] as thou hast commanded[06680][8765] me. reported...: Heb. returned the word
12:3 Then I looked[07200][8799], and, behold, in the firmament[07549] that was above the head[07218] of the cherubims[03742] there appeared[07200][8738] over them as it were a sapphire[05601] stone[068], as the appearance[04758] of the likeness[01823] of a throne[03678].
12:4 And he spake[0559][8799] unto the man[0376] clothed[03847][8803] with linen[0906], and said[0559][8799], Go in[0935][8798] between[0996] the wheels[01534], even under the cherub[03742], and fill[04390][8761] thine hand[02651] with coals[01513] of fire[0784] from between[0996] the cherubims[03742], and scatter[02236][8798] them over the city[05892]. And he went in[0935][8799] in my sight[05869]. thine hand: Heb. the hollow of thine hand
12:5 Now the cherubims[03742] stood[05975][8802] on the right side[03225] of the house[01004], when the man[0376] went in[0935][8800]; and the cloud[06051] filled[04390][8804] the inner[06442] court[02691].
12:6 Then the glory[03519] of the LORD[03068] went up[07311][8799] from the cherub[03742], and stood over the threshold[04670] of the house[01004]; and the house[01004] was filled[04390][8735] with the cloud[06051], and the court[02691] was full[04390][8804] of the brightness[05051] of the LORD'S[03068] glory[03519]. went up: Heb. was lifted up
12:7 And the sound[06963] of the cherubims[03742]' wings[03671] was heard[08085][8738] even to the outer[02435] court[02691], as the voice[06963] of the Almighty[07706] God[0410] when he speaketh[01696][8763].
12:8 And it came to pass, that when he had commanded[06680][8763] the man[0376] clothed[03847][8803] with linen[0906], saying[0559][8800], Take[03947][8798] fire[0784] from between the wheels[01534], from between the cherubims[03742]; then he went in[0935][8799], and stood[05975][8799] beside[0681] the wheels[0212].
12:9 And one cherub[03742] stretched forth[07971][8799] his hand[03027] from between the cherubims[03742] unto the fire[0784] that was between the cherubims[03742], and took[05375][8799] thereof , and put[05414][8799] it into the hands[02651] of him that was clothed[03847][8803] with linen[0906]: who took[03947][8799] it , and went out[03318][8799]. stretched forth: Heb. sent forth
12:10 And there appeared[07200][8735] in the cherubims[03742] the form[08403] of a man's[0120] hand[03027] under their wings[03671].
12:11 And when I looked[07200][8799], behold the four[0702] wheels[0212] by[0681] the cherubims[03742], one[0259] wheel[0212] by[0681] one[0259] cherub[03742], and another[0259] wheel[0212] by[0681] another[0259] cherub[03742]: and the appearance[04758] of the wheels[0212] was as the colour[05869] of a beryl[08658] stone[068].
12:12 And as for their appearances[04758], they four[0702] had one[0259] likeness[01823], as if a wheel[0212] had been in the midst[08432] of a wheel[0212].
12:13 When they went[03212][8800], they went[03212][8800] upon their four[0702] sides[07253]; they turned[05437][8735] not as they went[03212][8800], but to the place[04725] whither the head[07218] looked[06437][8799] they followed[03212][8799][0310] it; they turned[05437][8735] not as they went[03212][8799].
12:14 And their whole body[01320], and their backs[01354], and their hands[03027], and their wings[03671], and the wheels[0212], were full[04392] of eyes[05869] round about[05439], even the wheels[0212] that they four[0702] had. body: Heb. flesh
12:15 As for the wheels[0212], it was cried[07121][8795] unto them in my hearing[0241], O wheel[01534]. it was...: or, they were called in my hearing, wheel, or, galgal
12:16 And every one[0259] had four[0702] faces[06440]: the first[0259] face[06440] was the face[06440] of a cherub[03742], and the second[08145] face[06440] was the face[06440] of a man[0120], and the third[07992] the face[06440] of a lion[0738], and the fourth[07243] the face[06440] of an eagle[05404].
12:17 And the cherubims[03742] were lifted up[07426][8735]. This is the living creature[02416] that I saw[07200][8804] by the river[05104] of Chebar[03529].
12:18 And when the cherubims[03742] went[03212][8800], the wheels[0212] went[03212][8799] by them[0681]: and when the cherubims[03742] lifted up[05375][8800] their wings[03671] to mount up[07311][8800] from the earth[0776], the same wheels[0212] also[01992] turned[05437][8735] not from beside[0681] them.
12:19 When they stood[05975][8800], these stood[05975][8799]; and when they were lifted up[07311][8800], these lifted up[07426][8735] themselves also : for the spirit[07307] of the living creature[02416]  was in them. of...: or, of life
12:20 Then the glory[03519] of the LORD[03068] departed[03318][8799] from off the threshold[04670] of the house[01004], and stood[05975][8799] over the cherubims[03742].
12:21 And the cherubims[03742] lifted up[05375][8799] their wings[03671], and mounted up[07426][8735] from the earth[0776] in my sight[05869]: when they went out[03318][8800], the wheels[0212] also were beside[05980] them, and every one stood[05975][8799] at the door[06607] of the east[06931] gate[08179] of the LORD'S[03068] house[01004]; and the glory[03519] of the God[0430] of Israel[03478] was over them above[04605].
12:22 This is the living creature[02416] that I saw[07200][8804] under the God[0430] of Israel[03478] by the river[05104] of Chebar[03529]; and I knew[03045][8799] that they were the cherubims[03742].
12:23 Every one[0259] had four[0702] faces[06440] apiece[0259], and every one[0259] four[0702] wings[03671]; and the likeness[01823] of the hands[03027] of a man[0120] was under their wings[03671].
12:24 And the likeness[01823] of their faces[06440] was the same[01992] faces[06440] which I saw[07200][8804] by the river[05104] of Chebar[03529], their appearances[04758] and themselves: they went[03212][8799] every one[0376] straight[05676] forward[06440].
12:25 Moreover the spirit[07307] lifted me up[05375][8799], and brought[0935][8686] me unto the east[06931] gate[08179] of the LORD'S[03068] house[01004], which looketh[06437][8802] eastward[06921]: and behold at the door[06607] of the gate[08179] five[02568] and twenty[06242] men[0376]; among[08432] whom I saw[07200][8799] Jaazaniah[02970] the son[01121] of Azur[05809], and Pelatiah[06410] the son[01121] of Benaiah[01141], princes[08269] of the people[05971].
12:26 Then said[0559][8799] he unto me, Son[01121] of man[0120], these are the men[0582] that devise[02803][8802] mischief[0205], and give[03289][8802] wicked[07451] counsel[06098] in this city[05892]:
12:27 Which say[0559][8802], It is not near[07138]; let us build[01129][8800] houses[01004]: this city is the caldron[05518], and we be the flesh[01320]. It is...: or, It is not for us to build houses near
12:28 Therefore prophesy[05012][8734] against them, prophesy[05012][8734], O son[01121] of man[0120].
13:1 And the Spirit[07307] of the LORD[03068] fell[05307][8799] upon me, and said[0559][8799] unto me, Speak[0559][8798]; Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Thus have ye said[0559][8799], O house[01004] of Israel[03478]: for I know[03045][8804] the things that come[04609] into your mind[07307], every one of them.
13:2 Ye have multiplied[07235][8689] your slain[02491] in this city[05892], and ye have filled[04390][8765] the streets[02351] thereof with the slain[02491].
13:3 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Your slain[02491] whom ye have laid[07760][8804] in the midst[08432] of it, they are the flesh[01320], and this city is the caldron[05518]: but I will bring you forth[03318][8689] out of the midst[08432] of it.
13:4 Ye have feared[03372][8804] the sword[02719]; and I will bring[0935][8686] a sword[02719] upon you, saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
13:5 And I will bring you out[03318][8689] of the midst[08432] thereof, and deliver[05414][8804] you into the hands[03027] of strangers[02114][8801], and will execute[06213][8804] judgments[08201] among you.
13:6 Ye shall fall[05307][8799] by the sword[02719]; I will judge[08199][8799] you in the border[01366] of Israel[03478]; and ye shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068].
13:7 This city shall not be your caldron[05518], neither shall ye be the flesh[01320] in the midst[08432] thereof; but I will judge[08199][8799] you in the border[01366] of Israel[03478]:
13:8 And ye shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068]: for ye have not walked[01980][8804] in my statutes[02706], neither executed[06213][8804] my judgments[04941], but have done[06213][8804] after the manners[04941] of the heathen[01471] that are round about[05439] you. for ye...: or, which have not walked
13:9 And it came to pass, when I prophesied[05012][8736], that Pelatiah[06410] the son[01121] of Benaiah[01141] died[04191][8804]. Then fell I down[05307][8799] upon my face[06440], and cried[02199][8799] with a loud[01419] voice[06963], and said[0559][8799], Ah[0162] Lord[0136] GOD[03069]! wilt thou make[06213][8802] a full end[03617] of the remnant[07611] of Israel[03478]?
13:10 Again the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
13:11 Son[01121] of man[0120], thy brethren[0251], even thy brethren[0251], the men[0582] of thy kindred[01353], and all the house[01004] of Israel[03478] wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants[03427][8802] of Jerusalem[03389] have said[0559][8804], Get you far[07368][8798] from the LORD[03068]: unto us is this land[0776] given[05414][8738] in possession[04181].
13:12 Therefore say[0559][8798], Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Although I have cast them far off[07368][8689] among the heathen[01471], and although I have scattered[06327][8689] them among the countries[0776], yet will I be to them as a little[04592] sanctuary[04720] in the countries[0776] where they shall come[0935][8804].
13:13 Therefore say[0559][8798], Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; I will even gather[06908][8765] you from the people[05971], and assemble[0622][8804] you out of the countries[0776] where ye have been scattered[06327][8738], and I will give[05414][8804] you the land[0127] of Israel[03478].
13:14 And they shall come[0935][8804] thither, and they shall take away[05493][8689] all the detestable things[08251] thereof and all the abominations[08441] thereof from thence.
13:15 And I will give[05414][8804] them one[0259] heart[03820], and I will put[05414][8799] a new[02319] spirit[07307] within[07130] you; and I will take[05493][8689] the stony[068] heart[03820] out of their flesh[01320], and will give[05414][8804] them an heart[03820] of flesh[01320]:
13:16 That they may walk[03212][8799] in my statutes[02708], and keep[08104][8799] mine ordinances[04941], and do[06213][8804] them: and they shall be my people[05971], and I will be their God[0430].
13:17 But as for them whose heart[03820] walketh[01980][8802] after the heart[03820] of their detestable things[08251] and their abominations[08441], I will recompense[05414][8804] their way[01870] upon their own heads[07218], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
13:18 Then did the cherubims[03742] lift up[05375][8799] their wings[03671], and the wheels[0212] beside[05980] them; and the glory[03519] of the God[0430] of Israel[03478] was over them above[04605].
13:19 And the glory[03519] of the LORD[03068] went up[05927][8799] from the midst[08432] of the city[05892], and stood[05975][8799] upon the mountain[02022] which is on the east side[06924] of the city[05892].
13:20 Afterwards the spirit[07307] took me up[05375][8804], and brought[0935][8686] me in a vision[04758] by the Spirit[07307] of God[0430] into Chaldea[03778], to them of the captivity[01473]. So the vision[04758] that I had seen[07200][8804] went up[05927][8799] from me.
13:21 Then I spake[01696][8762] unto them of the captivity[01473] all the things[01697] that the LORD[03068] had shewed[07200][8689] me.
13:22 The word[01697] of the LORD[03068] also came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
13:23 Son[01121] of man[0120], thou dwellest[03427][8802] in the midst[08432] of a rebellious[04805] house[01004], which have eyes[05869] to see[07200][8800], and see[07200][8804] not; they have ears[0241] to hear[08085][8800], and hear[08085][8804] not: for they are a rebellious[04805] house[01004].
14:1 Therefore, thou son[01121] of man[0120], prepare[06213][8798] thee stuff[03627] for removing[01473], and remove[01540][8798] by day[03119] in their sight[05869]; and thou shalt remove[01540][8804] from thy place[04725] to another[0312] place[04725] in their sight[05869]: it may be they will consider[07200][8799], though they be a rebellious[04805] house[01004]. stuff: or, instruments
14:2 Then shalt thou bring forth[03318][8689] thy stuff[03627] by day[03119] in their sight[05869], as stuff[03627] for removing[01473]: and thou shalt go forth[03318][8799] at even[06153] in their sight[05869], as they that go forth[04161] into captivity[01473]. as they...: Heb. as the goings forth of captivity
14:3 Dig[02864][8798] thou through the wall[07023] in their sight[05869], and carry out[03318][8689] thereby. Dig...: Heb. Dig for thee
14:4 In their sight[05869] shalt thou bear[05375][8799] it upon thy shoulders[03802], and carry it forth[03318][8686] in the twilight[05939]: thou shalt cover[03680][8762] thy face[06440], that thou see[07200][8799] not the ground[0776]: for I have set[05414][8804] thee for a sign[04159] unto the house[01004] of Israel[03478].
14:5 And I did[06213][8799] so as I was commanded[06680][8795]: I brought forth[03318][8689] my stuff[03627] by day[03119], as stuff[03627] for captivity[01473], and in the even[06153] I digged[02864][8804] through the wall[07023] with mine hand[03027]; I brought it forth[03318][8689] in the twilight[05939], and I bare[05375][8804] it upon my  shoulder[03802] in their sight[05869]. digged: Heb. digged for me
14:6 And in the morning[01242] came the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] unto me, saying[0559][8800],
14:7 Son[01121] of man[0120], hath not the house[01004] of Israel[03478], the rebellious[04805] house[01004], said[0559][8804] unto thee, What doest[06213][8802] thou?
14:8 Say[0559][8798] thou unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; This burden[04853] concerneth the prince[05387] in Jerusalem[03389], and all the house[01004] of Israel[03478] that are among[08432] them.
14:9 Say[0559][8798], I am your sign[04159]: like as I have done[06213][8804], so shall it be done[06213][8735] unto them: they shall remove[01473] and go[03212][8799] into captivity[07628]. they...: Heb. by removing go into captivity
14:10 And the prince[05387] that is among[08432] them shall bear[05375][8799] upon his shoulder[03802] in the twilight[05939], and shall go forth[03318][8799]: they shall dig[02864][8799] through the wall[07023] to carry out[03318][8687] thereby: he shall cover[03680][8762] his face[06440], that[03282] he see[07200][8799] not the ground[0776] with his  eyes[05869].
14:11 My net[07568] also will I spread[06566][8804] upon him, and he shall be taken[08610][8738] in my snare[04686]: and I will bring[0935][8689] him to Babylon[0894] to the land[0776] of the Chaldeans[03778]; yet shall he not see[07200][8799] it, though he shall die[04191][8799] there.
14:12 And I will scatter[02219][8762] toward every wind[07307] all that are about[05439] him to help[05828] him, and all his bands[0102]; and I will draw out[07324][8686] the sword[02719] after[0310] them.
14:13 And they shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068], when I shall scatter[06327][8687] them among the nations[01471], and disperse[02219][8765] them in the countries[0776].
14:14 But I will leave[03498][8689] a few[04557] men[0582] of them from the sword[02719], from the famine[07458], and from the pestilence[01698]; that they may declare[05608][8762] all their abominations[08441] among the heathen[01471] whither they come[0935][8804]; and they shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068]. a few...: Heb. men of number
14:15 Moreover the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came to me, saying[0559][8800],
14:16 Son[01121] of man[0120], eat[0398][8799] thy bread[03899] with quaking[07494], and drink[08354][8799] thy water[04325] with trembling[07269] and with carefulness[01674];
14:17 And say[0559][8804] unto the people[05971] of the land[0127], Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069] of the inhabitants[03427][8802] of Jerusalem[03389], and of the land[0776] of Israel[03478]; They shall eat[0398][8799] their bread[03899] with carefulness[01674], and drink[08354][8799] their water[04325] with astonishment[08078], that her land[0776] may be desolate[03456][8799] from all that is therein[04393], because of the violence[02555] of all them that dwell[03427][8802] therein. all that...: Heb. the fulness thereof
14:18 And the cities[05892] that are inhabited[03427][8737] shall be laid waste[02717][8799], and the land[0776] shall be desolate[08077]; and ye shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068].
14:19 And the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
14:20 Son[01121] of man[0120], what is that proverb[04912] that ye have in the land[0127] of Israel[03478], saying[0559][8800], The days[03117] are prolonged[0748][8799], and every vision[02377] faileth[06][8804]?
14:21 Tell[0559][8798] them therefore, Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; I will make this proverb[04912] to cease[07673][8689], and they shall no more use it as a proverb[04911][8799] in Israel[03478]; but say[01696][8761] unto them, The days[03117] are at hand[07126][8804], and the effect[01697] of every vision[02377].
14:22 For there shall be no more any vain[07723] vision[02377] nor flattering[02509] divination[04738] within[08432] the house[01004] of Israel[03478].
14:23 For I am the LORD[03068]: I will speak[01696][8762], and the word[01697] that I shall speak[01696][8762] shall come to pass[06213][8735]; it shall be no more prolonged[04900][8735]: for in your days[03117], O rebellious[04805] house[01004], will I say[01696][8762] the word[01697], and will perform[06213][8804] it, saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
15:1 Again the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came to me, saying[0559][8800],
15:2 Son[01121] of man[0120], behold, they of the house[01004] of Israel[03478] say[0559][8802], The vision[02377] that he seeth[02372][8802] is for many[07227] days[03117] to come , and he prophesieth[05012][8738] of the times[06256] that are far[07350] off.
15:3 Therefore say[0559][8798] unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; There shall none of my words[01697] be prolonged[04900][8735] any more, but the word[01697] which I have spoken[01696][8762] shall be done[06213][8735], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
15:4 And the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
15:5 Son[01121] of man[0120], prophesy[05012][8734] against the prophets[05030] of Israel[03478] that prophesy[05012][8737], and say[0559][8804] thou unto them that prophesy[05030] out of their own hearts[03820], Hear[08085][8798] ye the word[01697] of the LORD[03068]; that prophesy out...: Heb. that are prophets out of their own hearts
15:6 Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Woe[01945] unto the foolish[05036] prophets[05030], that follow[01980][8802][0310] their own spirit[07307], and have seen[07200][8804] nothing! follow: Heb. walk after and...: or, and things which they have not seen
15:7 O Israel[03478], thy prophets[05030] are like the foxes[07776] in the deserts[02723].
15:8 Ye have not gone up[05927][8804] into the gaps[06556], neither made up[01443][8799] the hedge[01447] for the house[01004] of Israel[03478] to stand[05975][8800] in the battle[04421] in the day[03117] of the LORD[03068]. gaps: or, breaches made...: Heb. hedged the hedge
16:1 They have seen[02372][8804] vanity[07723] and lying[03577] divination[07081], saying[0559][8802], The LORD[03068] saith[05002][8803]: and the LORD[03068] hath not sent[07971][8804] them: and they have made others to hope[03176][8765] that they would confirm[06965][8763] the word[01697].
16:2 Have ye not seen[02372][8804] a vain[07723] vision[04236], and have ye not spoken[01696][8765] a lying[03577] divination[04738], whereas ye say[0559][8802], The LORD[03068] saith[05002][8803] it ; albeit I have not spoken[0559][8804]?
16:3 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Because ye have spoken[01696][8763] vanity[07723], and seen[02372][8804] lies[03577], therefore, behold, I am against you, saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
16:4 And mine hand[03027] shall be upon the prophets[05030] that see[02374] vanity[07723], and that divine[07080][8802] lies[03577]: they shall not be in the assembly[05475] of my people[05971], neither shall they be written[03789][8735] in the writing[03791] of the house[01004] of Israel[03478], neither shall they enter[0935][8799] into the land[0127] of Israel[03478]; and ye shall know[03045][8804] that I am the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]. assembly: or, secret, or, counsel
16:5 Because, even because they have seduced[02937][8689] my people[05971], saying[0559][8800], Peace[07965]; and there was no peace[07965]; and one built up[01129][8802] a wall[02434], and, lo[02009], others daubed[02902][8802] it with untempered[08602] morter : a wall: or, a slight wall
16:6 Say[0559][8798] unto them which daub[02902][8802] it with untempered[08602] morter , that it shall fall[05307][8799]: there shall be an overflowing[07857][8802] shower[01653]; and ye[0859], O great hailstones[0417][068], shall fall[05307][8799]; and a stormy[05591] wind[07307] shall rend[01234][8762] it .
16:7 Lo, when the wall[07023] is fallen[05307][8804], shall it not be said[0559][8735] unto you, Where is the daubing[02915] wherewith ye have daubed[02902][8804] it ?
16:8 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; I will even rend[01234][8765] it with a stormy[05591] wind[07307] in my fury[02534]; and there shall be an overflowing[07857][8802] shower[01653] in mine anger[0639], and great hailstones[0417][068] in my fury[02534] to consume[03617] it .
16:9 So will I break down[02040][8804] the wall[07023] that ye have daubed[02902][8804] with untempered[08602] morter , and bring[05060][8689] it down to the ground[0776], so that the foundation[03247] thereof shall be discovered[01540][8738], and it shall fall[05307][8804], and ye shall be consumed[03615][8804] in the midst[08432] thereof: and ye shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068].
16:10 Thus will I accomplish[03615][8765] my wrath[02534] upon the wall[07023], and upon them that have daubed[02902][8802] it with untempered[08602] morter , and will say[0559][8799] unto you, The wall[07023] is no more , neither they that daubed[02902][8802] it;
16:11 To wit , the prophets[05030] of Israel[03478] which prophesy[05012][8737] concerning Jerusalem[03389], and which see[02374] visions[02377] of peace[07965] for her, and there is no peace[07965], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
16:12 Likewise, thou son[01121] of man[0120], set[07760][8798] thy face[06440] against the daughters[01323] of thy people[05971], which prophesy[05012][8693] out of their own heart[03820]; and prophesy[05012][8734] thou against them,
16:13 And say[0559][8804], Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Woe[01945] to the women that sew[08609][8764] pillows[03704] to all armholes[0679][03027], and make[06213][8802] kerchiefs[04555] upon the head[07218] of every stature[06967] to hunt[06679][8780] souls[05315]! Will ye hunt[06679][8779] the souls[05315] of my people[05971], and will ye save[02421][00] the souls[05315] alive[02421][8762] that come unto you? armholes: or, elbows
16:14 And will ye pollute[02490][8762] me among my people[05971] for handfuls[08168] of barley[08184] and for pieces[06595] of bread[03899], to slay[04191][8687] the souls[05315] that should not die[04191][8799], and to save[02421][00] the souls[05315] alive[02421][8763] that should not live[02421][8799], by your lying[03576][8763] to my people[05971] that hear[08085][8802] your lies[03577]?
16:15 Wherefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Behold, I am against your pillows[03704], wherewith ye[0859] there hunt[06679][8781] the souls[05315] to make them fly[06524][8802], and I will tear[07167][8804] them from your arms[02220], and will let the souls[05315] go[07971][8765], even the souls[05315] that ye hunt[06679][8781] to make them fly[06524][8802]. to make...: or, into gardens
16:16 Your kerchiefs[04555] also will I tear[07167][8804], and deliver[05337][8689] my people[05971] out of your hand[03027], and they shall be no more in your hand[03027] to be hunted[04686]; and ye shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068].
16:17 Because with lies[08267] ye have made the heart[03820] of the righteous[06662] sad[03512][8687], whom I have not made sad[03510][8689]; and strengthened[02388][8763] the hands[03027] of the wicked[07451], that he should not return[07725][8800] from his wicked[07563] way[01870], by promising him life[02421][8687]: by...: or, that I should save his life: Heb. by quickening him
16:18 Therefore ye shall see[02372][8799] no more vanity[07723], nor divine[07080][8799] divinations[07081]: for I will deliver[05337][8689] my people[05971] out of your hand[03027]: and ye shall know[03045][8804] that I am  the LORD[03068].
16:19 Then came[0935][8799] certain[0582] of the elders[02205] of Israel[03478] unto me, and sat[03427][8799] before[06440] me.
16:20 And the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
16:21 Son[01121] of man[0120], these men[0582] have set up[05927][8689] their idols[01544] in their heart[03820], and put[05414][8804] the stumblingblock[04383] of their iniquity[05771] before[05227] their face[06440]: should I be enquired[01875][8735] of at all[01875][8736] by them?
16:22 Therefore speak[01696][8761] unto them, and say[0559][8804] unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Every man[0376] of the house[01004] of Israel[03478] that setteth up[05927][8686] his idols[01544] in his heart[03820], and putteth[07760][8799] the stumblingblock[04383] of his iniquity[05771] before[05227] his face[06440], and cometh[0935][8804] to the prophet[05030]; I the LORD[03068] will answer[06030][8738] him that cometh[0935][8804] according to the multitude[07230] of his idols[01544];
16:23 That I may take[08610][8800] the house[01004] of Israel[03478] in their own heart[03820], because they are all estranged[02114][8738] from me through their idols[01544].
16:24 Therefore say[0559][8798] unto the house[01004] of Israel[03478], Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Repent[07725][8798], and turn[07725][8685] yourselves from your idols[01544]; and turn away[07725][8685] your faces[06440] from all your abominations[08441]. yourselves: or, others
16:25 For every one[0376] of the house[01004] of Israel[03478], or of the stranger[01616] that sojourneth[01481][8799] in Israel[03478], which separateth[05144][8735] himself from me[0310], and setteth up[05927][8799] his idols[01544] in his heart[03820], and putteth[07760][8799] the stumblingblock[04383] of his iniquity[05771] before[05227] his face[06440], and cometh[0935][8804] to a prophet[05030] to enquire[01875][8800] of him concerning me; I the LORD[03068] will answer[06030][8737] him by myself:
16:26 And I will set[05414][8804] my face[06440] against that man[0376], and will make[08074][8689] him a sign[0226] and a proverb[04912], and I will cut him off[03772][8689] from the midst[08432] of my people[05971]; and ye shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068].
16:27 And if the prophet[05030] be deceived[06601][8792] when he hath spoken[01696][8765] a thing[01697], I the LORD[03068] have deceived[06601][8765] that prophet[05030], and I will stretch out[05186][8804] my hand[03027] upon him, and will destroy[08045][8689] him from the midst[08432] of my people[05971] Israel[03478].
16:28 And they shall bear[05375][8804] the punishment of their iniquity[05771]: the punishment[05771] of the prophet[05030] shall be even as the punishment[05771] of him that seeketh[01875][8802] unto him ;
16:29 That the house[01004] of Israel[03478] may go no more astray[08582][8799] from me[0310], neither be polluted[02930][8691] any more with all their transgressions[06588]; but that they may be my people[05971], and I may be their God[0430], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
16:30 The word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came again to me, saying[0559][8800],
16:31 Son[01121] of man[0120], when the land[0776] sinneth[02398][8799] against me by trespassing[04603][8800] grievously[04604], then will I stretch out[05186][8804] mine hand[03027] upon it, and will break[07665][8804] the staff[04294] of the bread[03899] thereof, and will send[07971][8689] famine[07458] upon it, and will cut off[03772][8689] man[0120] and beast[0929] from it:
16:32 Though these three[07969] men[0582], Noah[05146], Daniel[01840], and Job[0347], were in it[08432], they should deliver[05337][8762] but their own souls[05315] by their righteousness[06666], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
16:33 If[03863] I cause noisome[07451] beasts[02416] to pass through[05674][8686] the land[0776], and they spoil[07921][8765] it, so that it be desolate[08077], that no man may pass through[05674][8802] because[06440] of the beasts[02416]: spoil: or, bereave
16:34 Though these three[07969] men[0582] were in it[08432], as I live[02416], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], they shall deliver[05337][8686] neither sons[01121] nor daughters[01323]; they only shall be delivered[05337][8735], but the land[0776] shall be desolate[08077]. in it: Heb. in the midst of it
16:35 Or if I bring[0935][8686] a sword[02719] upon that land[0776], and say[0559][8804], Sword[02719], go through[05674][8799] the land[0776]; so that I cut off[03772][8689] man[0120] and beast[0929] from it:
16:36 Though these three[07969] men[0582] were in it[08432], as I live[02416], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], they shall deliver[05337][8686] neither sons[01121] nor daughters[01323], but they only shall be delivered[05337][8735] themselves.
16:37 Or if I send[07971][8762] a pestilence[01698] into that land[0776], and pour out[08210][8804] my fury[02534] upon it in blood[01818], to cut off[03772][8687] from it man[0120] and beast[0929]:
16:38 Though Noah[05146], Daniel[01840], and Job[0347], were in it[08432], as I live[02416], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], they shall deliver[05337][8686] neither son[01121] nor[0518] daughter[01323]; they shall but deliver[05337][8686] their own souls[05315] by their righteousness[06666].
16:39 For thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; How much more when I send[07971][8765] my four[0702] sore[07451] judgments[08201] upon Jerusalem[03389], the sword[02719], and the famine[07458], and the noisome[07451] beast[02416], and the pestilence[01698], to cut off[03772][8687] from it man[0120] and beast[0929]? How...: or, Also when
16:40 Yet, behold, therein shall be left[03498][8738] a remnant[06413] that shall be brought forth[03318][8716], both sons[01121] and daughters[01323]: behold, they shall come forth[03318][8802] unto you, and ye shall see[07200][8804] their way[01870] and their doings[05949]: and ye shall be comforted[05162][8738] concerning the evil[07451] that I have brought[0935][8689] upon Jerusalem[03389], even concerning all that I have brought[0935][8689] upon it.
16:41 And they shall comfort[05162][8765] you, when ye see[07200][8799] their ways[01870] and their doings[05949]: and ye shall know[03045][8804] that I have not done[06213][8804] without cause[02600] all that I have done[06213][8804] in it, saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
16:42 And the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
16:43 Son[01121] of man[0120], What is the vine[01612] tree[06086] more than any tree[06086], or than a branch[02156] which is among the trees[06086] of the forest[03293]?
16:44 Shall wood[06086] be taken[03947][8714] thereof to do[06213][8800] any work[04399]? or will men take[03947][8799] a pin[03489] of it to hang[08518][8800] any vessel[03627] thereon?
16:45 Behold, it is cast[05414][8738] into the fire[0784] for fuel[0402]; the fire[0784] devoureth[0398][8804] both[08147] the ends[07098] of it, and the midst[08432] of it is burned[02787][8737]. Is it meet[06743][8799] for  any work[04399]? Is it...: Heb. Will it prosper?
16:46 Behold, when it was whole[08549], it was meet[06213][8735] for no work[04399]: how much less shall it be meet[06213][8738] yet for any work[04399], when the fire[0784] hath devoured[0398][8804] it, and it is burned[02787][8735]? meet: Heb. made fit
16:47 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; As the vine[01612] tree[06086] among the trees[06086] of the forest[03293], which I have given[05414][8804] to the fire[0784] for fuel[0402], so will I give[05414][8804] the inhabitants[03427][8802] of Jerusalem[03389].
16:48 And I will set[05414][8804] my face[06440] against them; they shall go out[03318][8804] from one fire[0784], and another fire[0784] shall devour[0398][8799] them; and ye shall know[03045][8804] that I am  the LORD[03068], when I set[07760][8800] my face[06440] against them.
16:49 And I will make[05414][8804] the land[0776] desolate[08077], because they have committed[04603][8804] a trespass[04604], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]. committed...: Heb. trespassed a trespass
16:50 Again the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
16:51 Son[01121] of man[0120], cause Jerusalem[03389] to know[03045][8685] her abominations[08441],
16:52 And say[0559][8804], Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069] unto Jerusalem[03389]; Thy birth[04351] and thy nativity[04138] is of the land[0776] of Canaan[03669]; thy father[01] was an Amorite[0567], and thy mother[0517] an Hittite[02850]. birth: Heb. cutting out, or, habitation
16:53 And as for thy nativity[04138], in the day[03117] thou wast born[03205][8715] thy navel[08270] was not cut[03772][8795], neither wast thou washed[07364][8795] in water[04325] to supple[04935] thee ; thou wast not salted[04414][8717] at all[04414][8715], nor swaddled[02853][8795] at all[02853][8715]. to supple...: or, when I looked upon thee
16:54 None eye[05869] pitied[02347][8804] thee, to do[06213][8800] any[0259] of these unto thee, to have compassion[02550][8800] upon thee; but thou wast cast out[07993][8714] in the open[06440] field[07704], to the lothing[01604] of thy person[05315], in the day[03117] that thou wast born[03205][8715].
16:55 And when I passed[05674][8799] by thee, and saw[07200][8799] thee polluted[0947][8711] in thine own blood[01818], I said[0559][8799] unto thee when thou wast in thy blood[01818], Live[02421][8798]; yea, I said[0559][8799] unto thee when thou wast in thy blood[01818], Live[02421][8798]. polluted: or, trodden under foot
16:56 I have caused[05414][8804] thee to multiply[07233] as the bud[06780] of the field[07704], and thou hast increased[07235][8799] and waxen great[01431][8799], and thou art come[0935][8799] to excellent[05716] ornaments[05716]: thy breasts[07699] are fashioned[03559][8738], and thine hair[08181] is grown[06779][8765], whereas thou wast naked[05903] and bare[06181]. caused...: Heb. made thee a million excellent...: Heb. ornament of ornaments
16:57 Now when I passed[05674][8799] by thee, and looked[07200][8799] upon thee, behold, thy time[06256] was the time[06256] of love[01730]; and I spread[06566][8799] my skirt[03671] over thee, and covered[03680][8762] thy nakedness[06172]: yea, I sware[07650][8735] unto thee, and entered[0935][8799] into a covenant[01285] with thee, saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], and thou becamest mine.
16:58 Then washed[07364][8799] I thee with water[04325]; yea, I throughly washed away[07857][8799] thy blood[01818] from thee, and I anointed[05480][8799] thee with oil[08081]. blood: Heb. bloods
16:59 I clothed[03847][8686] thee also with broidered work[07553], and shod[05274][8799] thee with badgers' skin[08476], and I girded[02280][8799] thee about with fine linen[08336], and I covered[03680][8762] thee with silk[04897].
16:60 I decked[05710][8799] thee also with ornaments[05716], and I put[05414][8799] bracelets[06781] upon thy hands[03027], and a chain[07242] on thy neck[01627].
16:61 And I put[05414][8799] a jewel[05141] on thy forehead[0639], and earrings[05694] in thine ears[0241], and a beautiful[08597] crown[05850] upon thine head[07218]. forehead: Heb. nose
16:62 Thus wast thou decked[05710][8799] with gold[02091] and silver[03701]; and thy raiment[04403] was of fine linen[08336][8675][08336], and silk[04897], and broidered work[07553]; thou didst eat[0398][8804] fine flour[05560], and honey[01706], and oil[08081]: and thou wast exceeding[03966] beautiful[03302][8799], and thou didst prosper[06743][8799] into a kingdom[04410].
16:63 And thy renown[08034] went forth[03318][8799] among the heathen[01471] for thy beauty[03308]: for it was perfect[03632] through my comeliness[01926], which I had put[07760][8804] upon thee, saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
17:1 But thou didst trust[0982][8799] in thine own beauty[03308], and playedst the harlot[02181][8799] because of thy renown[08034], and pouredst out[08210][8799] thy fornications[08457] on every one that passed by[05674][8802]; his it was.
17:2 And of thy garments[0899] thou didst take[03947][8799], and deckedst[06213][8799] thy high places[01116] with divers colours[02921][8803], and playedst the harlot[02181][8799] thereupon: the like things shall not come[0935][8802], neither shall it be so .
17:3 Thou hast also taken[03947][8799] thy fair[08597] jewels[03627] of my gold[02091] and of my silver[03701], which I had given[05414][8804] thee, and madest[06213][8799] to thyself images[06754] of men[02145], and didst commit whoredom[02181][8799] with them, of men: Heb. of a male
17:4 And tookest[03947][8799] thy broidered[07553] garments[0899], and coveredst[03680][8762] them: and thou hast set[05414][8804] mine oil[08081] and mine incense[07004] before[06440] them.
17:5 My meat[03899] also which I gave[05414][8804] thee, fine flour[05560], and oil[08081], and honey[01706], wherewith I fed[0398][8689] thee, thou hast even set[05414][8804] it before[06440] them for a sweet[05207] savour[07381]: and thus it was, saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]. a sweet...: Heb. a savour of rest
17:6 Moreover thou hast taken[03947][8799] thy sons[01121] and thy daughters[01323], whom thou hast borne[03205][8804] unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed[02076][8799] unto them to be devoured[0398][8800]. Is this of thy whoredoms[08457] a small matter[04592], to be...: Heb. to devour
17:7 That thou hast slain[07819][8799] my children[01121], and delivered[05414][8799] them to cause them to pass through[05674][8687] the fire for them?
17:8 And in all thine abominations[08441] and thy whoredoms[08457] thou hast not remembered[02142][8804] the days[03117] of thy youth[05271], when thou wast naked[05903] and bare[06181], and wast polluted[0947][8711] in thy blood[01818].
17:9 And it came to pass after[0310] all thy wickedness[07451], (woe[0188], woe[0188] unto thee! saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069];)
17:10 That thou hast also built[01129][8799] unto thee an eminent place[01354], and hast made[06213][8799] thee an high place[07413] in every street[07339]. eminent...: or, brothel house
17:11 Thou hast built[01129][8804] thy high place[07413] at every head[07218] of the way[01870], and hast made thy beauty[03308] to be abhorred[08581][8762], and hast opened[06589][8762] thy feet[07272] to every one that passed by[05674][8802], and multiplied[07235][8686] thy whoredoms[08457].
17:12 Thou hast also committed fornication[02181][8799] with the Egyptians[01121][04714] thy neighbours[07934], great[01432] of flesh[01320]; and hast increased[07235][8686] thy whoredoms[08457], to provoke me to anger[03707][8687].
17:13 Behold, therefore I have stretched out[05186][8804] my hand[03027] over thee, and have diminished[01639][8799] thine ordinary[02706] food , and delivered[05414][8799] thee unto the will[05315] of them that hate[08130][8802] thee, the daughters[01323] of the Philistines[06430], which are ashamed[03637][8737] of thy lewd[02154] way[01870]. daughters: or, cities
17:14 Thou hast played the whore[02181][8799] also with the Assyrians[01121][0804], because[01115] thou wast unsatiable[07646][8804]; yea, thou hast played the harlot[02181][8799] with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied[07654].
17:15 Thou hast moreover multiplied[07235][8686] thy fornication[08457] in the land[0776] of Canaan[03667] unto Chaldea[03778]; and yet thou wast not satisfied[07646][8804] herewith[02063].
17:16 How weak[0535][8802] is thine heart[03826], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], seeing thou doest[06213][8800] all these things , the work[04639] of an imperious[07986] whorish[02181][8803] woman[0802];
17:17 In that thou buildest[01129][8800] thine eminent place[01354] in the head[07218] of every way[01870], and makest[06213][8804] thine high place[07413] in every street[07339]; and hast not been as an harlot[02181][8802], in that thou scornest[07046][8763] hire[0868]; In that thou buildest...: or, In thy daughters is thine, etc
17:18 But as a wife[0802] that committeth adultery[05003][8764], which taketh[03947][8799] strangers[02114][8801] instead of her husband[0376]!
17:19 They give[05414][8799] gifts[05078] to all whores[02181][8802]: but thou givest[05414][8804] thy gifts[05083] to all thy lovers[0157][8764], and hirest[07809][8799] them, that they may come[0935][8800] unto thee on every side[05439] for thy whoredom[08457]. hirest: Heb. bribest
17:20 And the contrary[02016] is in thee from other women[0802] in thy whoredoms[08457], whereas none followeth[0310] thee to commit whoredoms[02181][8795]: and in that thou givest[05414][8800] a reward[0868], and no reward[0868] is given[05414][8738] unto thee, therefore thou art[01961][8799] contrary[02016].
17:21 Wherefore, O harlot[02181][8802], hear[08085][8798] the word[01697] of the LORD[03068]:
17:22 Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Because thy filthiness[05178] was poured out[08210][8736], and thy nakedness[06172] discovered[01540][8735] through thy whoredoms[08457] with thy lovers[0157][8764], and with all the idols[01544] of thy abominations[08441], and by the blood[01818] of thy children[01121], which thou didst give[05414][8804] unto them;
17:23 Behold, therefore I will gather[06908][8764] all thy lovers[0157][8764], with whom thou hast taken pleasure[06149][8804], and all them that thou hast loved[0157][8804], with all them that thou hast hated[08130][8804]; I will even gather[06908][8765] them round about[05439] against thee, and will discover[01540][8765] thy nakedness[06172] unto them, that they may see[07200][8804] all thy nakedness[06172].
17:24 And I will judge[08199][8804] thee, as women that break wedlock[05003][8802] and shed[08210][8802] blood[01818] are judged[04941]; and I will give[05414][8804] thee blood[01818] in fury[02534] and jealousy[07068]. as: Heb. with judgments of
18:1 And I will also give[05414][8804] thee into their hand[03027], and they shall throw down[02040][8804] thine eminent place[01354], and shall break down[05422][8765] thy high places[07413]: they shall strip[06584][8689] thee also of thy clothes[0899], and shall take[03947][8804] thy fair[08597] jewels[03627], and leave[03240][8689] thee naked[05903] and bare[06181]. thy fair...: Heb. instruments of thine ornament
18:2 They shall also bring up[05927][8689] a company[06951] against thee, and they shall stone[07275][8804] thee with stones[068], and thrust thee through[01333][8765] with their swords[02719].
18:3 And they shall burn[08313][8804] thine houses[01004] with fire[0784], and execute[06213][8804] judgments[08201] upon thee in the sight[05869] of many[07227] women[0802]: and I will cause thee to cease[07673][8689] from playing the harlot[02181][8802], and thou also shalt give[05414][8799] no hire[0868] any more.
18:4 So will I make my fury[02534] toward thee to rest[05117][8689], and my jealousy[07068] shall depart[05493][8804] from thee, and I will be quiet[08252][8804], and will be no more angry[03707][8799].
18:5 Because thou hast not remembered[02142][8804] the days[03117] of thy youth[05271], but hast fretted[07264][8799] me in all these things ; behold[01887], therefore I also will recompense[05414][8804] thy way[01870] upon thine head[07218], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]: and thou shalt not commit[06213][8804] this lewdness[02154] above all thine abominations[08441].
18:6 Behold, every one that useth proverbs[04911][8802] shall use this proverb[04911][8799] against thee, saying[0559][8800], As is the mother[0517], so is her daughter[01323].
18:7 Thou art thy mother's[0517] daughter[01323], that lotheth[01602][8802] her husband[0376] and her children[01121]; and thou art the sister[0269] of thy sisters[0269], which lothed[01602][8804] their husbands[0582] and their children[01121]: your mother[0517] was an Hittite[02850], and your father[01] an Amorite[0567].
18:8 And thine elder[01419] sister[0269] is Samaria[08111], she and her daughters[01323] that dwell[03427][8802] at thy left hand[08040]: and thy younger[06996] sister[0269], that dwelleth[03427][8802] at thy right hand[03225], is Sodom[05467] and her daughters[01323]. thy younger: Heb. lesser than thou
18:9 Yet hast thou not walked[01980][8804] after their ways[01870], nor done[06213][8804] after their abominations[08441]: but, as if that were a very[06985] little[04592][06962][8804] thing , thou wast corrupted[07843][8686] more than they[02004] in all thy ways[01870]. as if...: or, that was lothed as a small thing
18:10 As I live[02416], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], Sodom[05467] thy sister[0269] hath not done[06213][8804], she nor her daughters[01323], as thou hast done[06213][8804], thou and thy daughters[01323].
18:11 Behold, this was the iniquity[05771] of thy sister[0269] Sodom[05467], pride[01347], fulness[07653] of bread[03899], and abundance[07962] of idleness[08252][8687] was in her and in her daughters[01323], neither did she strengthen[02388][8689] the hand[03027] of the poor[06041] and needy[034].
18:12 And they were haughty[01361][8799], and committed[06213][8799] abomination[08441] before[06440] me: therefore I took them away[05493][8686] as I saw[07200][8804] good .
18:13 Neither hath Samaria[08111] committed[02398][8804] half[02677] of thy sins[02403]; but thou hast multiplied[07235][8686] thine abominations[08441] more than they[02007], and hast justified[06663][8762] thy sisters[0269] in all thine abominations[08441] which thou hast done[06213][8804].
18:14 Thou also, which hast judged[06419][8765] thy sisters[0269], bear[05375][8798] thine own shame[03639] for thy sins[02403] that thou hast committed more abominable[08581][8689] than they[02004]: they are more righteous[06663][8799] than thou: yea, be thou confounded[0954][8798] also, and bear[05375][8798] thy shame[03639], in that thou hast justified[06663][8763] thy sisters[0269].
18:15 When I shall bring again[07725][8804] their captivity[07622][8675][07622], the captivity[07622][8675][07622] of Sodom[05467] and her daughters[01323], and the captivity[07622][8676][07622] of Samaria[08111] and her daughters[01323], then will I bring again the captivity[07622][8675][07622] of thy captives[07622] in the midst[08432] of them:
18:16 That thou mayest bear[05375][8799] thine own shame[03639], and mayest be confounded[03637][8738] in all that thou hast done[06213][8804], in that thou art a comfort[05162][8763] unto them.
18:17 When thy sisters[0269], Sodom[05467] and her daughters[01323], shall return[07725][8799] to their former estate[06927], and Samaria[08111] and her daughters[01323] shall return[07725][8799] to their former estate[06927], then thou and thy daughters[01323] shall return[07725][8799] to your former estate[06927].
18:18 For thy sister[0269] Sodom[05467] was not mentioned[08052] by thy mouth[06310] in the day[03117] of thy pride[01347], mentioned: Heb. for a report, or, hearing pride: Heb. prides, or, excellencies
18:19 Before thy wickedness[07451] was discovered[01540][8735], as at the time[06256] of thy reproach[02781] of the daughters[01323] of Syria[0758], and all that are round about[05439] her, the daughters[01323] of the Philistines[06430], which despise[07590][8801] thee round about[05439]. Syria: Heb. Aram despise: or, spoil
18:20 Thou hast borne[05375][8804] thy lewdness[02154] and thine abominations[08441], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]. borne: Heb. borne them
18:21 For thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; I will even deal[06213][8804] with thee as thou hast done[06213][8804], which hast despised[0959][8804] the oath[0423] in breaking[06565][8687] the covenant[01285].
18:22 Nevertheless I will remember[02142][8804] my covenant[01285] with thee in the days[03117] of thy youth[05271], and I will establish[06965][8689] unto thee an everlasting[05769] covenant[01285].
18:23 Then thou shalt remember[02142][8804] thy ways[01870], and be ashamed[03637][8738], when thou shalt receive[03947][8800] thy sisters[0269], thine elder[01419] and thy younger[06996]: and I will give[05414][8804] them unto thee for daughters[01323], but not by thy covenant[01285].
18:24 And I will establish[06965][8689] my covenant[01285] with thee; and thou shalt know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068]:
18:25 That thou mayest remember[02142][8799], and be confounded[0954][8804], and never open[06610] thy mouth[06310] any more because[06440] of thy shame[03639], when I am pacified[03722][8763] toward thee for all that thou hast done[06213][8804], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
18:26 And the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
18:27 Son[01121] of man[0120], put forth[02330][8798] a riddle[02420], and speak[04911][8798] a parable[04912] unto the house[01004] of Israel[03478];
18:28 And say[0559][8804], Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; A great[01419] eagle[05404] with great[01419] wings[03671], longwinged[083][0750], full[04392] of feathers[05133], which had divers colours[07553], came[0935][8804] unto Lebanon[03844], and took[03947][8799] the highest branch[06788] of the cedar[0730]: divers...: Heb. embroidering
18:29 He cropped off[06998][8804] the top[07218] of his young twigs[03242], and carried[0935][8686] it into a land[0776] of traffick[03667]; he set[07760][8804] it in a city[05892] of merchants[07402][8802].
18:30 He took[03947][8799] also of the seed[02233] of the land[0776], and planted[05414][8799] it in a fruitful[02233] field[07704]; he placed[03947][8804] it by great[07227] waters[04325], and set[07760][8804] it as a willow tree[06851]. planted...: Heb. put it in a field of seed
18:31 And it grew[06779][8799], and became a spreading[05628][8802] vine[01612] of low[08217] stature[06967], whose branches[01808] turned[06437][8800] toward him, and the roots[08328] thereof were under him: so it became a vine[01612], and brought forth[06213][8799] branches[0905], and shot[07971][8762] forth sprigs[06288].
18:32 There was also another[0259] great[01419] eagle[05404] with great[01419] wings[03671] and many[07227] feathers[05133]: and, behold, this vine[01612] did bend[03719][8804] her roots[08328] toward him, and shot forth[07971][8765] her branches[01808] toward him, that he might water[08248][8687] it by the furrows[06170] of her plantation[04302].
19:1 It was planted[08362][8803] in a good[02896] soil[07704] by great[07227] waters[04325], that it might bring forth[06213][8800] branches[06057], and that it might bear[05375][8800] fruit[06529], that it might be a goodly[0155] vine[01612]. soil: Heb. field
19:2 Say[0559][8798] thou, Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Shall it prosper[06743][8799]? shall he not pull up[05423][8762] the roots[08328] thereof, and cut off[07082][8779] the fruit[06529] thereof, that it wither[03001][8804]? it shall wither[03001][8799] in all the leaves[02964] of her spring[06780], even without great[01419] power[02220] or many[07227] people[05971] to pluck it up[05375][8800] by the roots[08328] thereof.
19:3 Yea, behold, being planted[08362][8803], shall it prosper[06743][8799]? shall it not utterly[03001][8800] wither[03001][8799], when the east[06921] wind[07307] toucheth[05060][8800] it? it shall wither[03001][8799] in the furrows[06170] where it grew[06780].
19:4 Moreover the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
19:5 Say[0559][8798] now to the rebellious[04805] house[01004], Know[03045][8804] ye not what these things mean ? tell[0559][8798] them , Behold, the king[04428] of Babylon[0894] is come[0935][8802] to Jerusalem[03389], and hath taken[03947][8799] the king[04428] thereof, and the princes[08269] thereof, and led[0935][8686] them with him to Babylon[0894];
19:6 And hath taken[03947][8799] of the king's[04410] seed[02233], and made[03772][8799] a covenant[01285] with him, and hath taken[0935][8686] an oath[0423] of him: he hath also taken[03947][8804] the mighty[0352] of the land[0776]: taken an...: Heb. brought him to an oath
19:7 That the kingdom[04467] might be base[08217], that it might not lift itself up[05375][8692], but that by keeping[08104][8800] of his covenant[01285] it might stand[05975][8800]. but...: Heb. to keep his covenant, to stand to it
19:8 But he rebelled[04775][8799] against him in sending[07971][8800] his ambassadors[04397] into Egypt[04714], that they might give[05414][8800] him horses[05483] and much[07227] people[05971]. Shall he prosper[06743][8799]? shall he escape[04422][8735] that doeth[06213][8802] such things ? or shall he break[06565][8689] the covenant[01285], and be delivered[04422][8738]?
19:9 As I live[02416], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], surely in the place[04725] where the king[04428] dwelleth that made him king[04427][8688], whose oath[0423] he despised[0959][8804], and whose covenant[01285] he brake[06565][8689], even with him in the midst[08432] of Babylon[0894] he shall die[04191][8799].
19:10 Neither shall Pharaoh[06547] with his mighty[01419] army[02428] and great[07227] company[06951] make[06213][8799] for him in the war[04421], by casting up[08210][8800] mounts[05550], and building[01129][8800] forts[01785], to cut off[03772][8687] many[07227] persons[05315]:
19:11 Seeing he despised[0959][8804] the oath[0423] by breaking[06565][8687] the covenant[01285], when, lo, he had given[05414][8804] his hand[03027], and hath done[06213][8804] all these things , he shall not escape[04422][8735].
19:12 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; As I live[02416], surely mine oath[0423] that he hath despised[0959][8804], and my covenant[01285] that he hath broken[06331][8689], even it will I recompense[05414][8804] upon his own head[07218].
19:13 And I will spread[06566][8804] my net[07568] upon him, and he shall be taken[08610][8738] in my snare[04686], and I will bring[0935][8689] him to Babylon[0894], and will plead[08199][8738] with him there for his trespass[04603][8804] that he hath trespassed[04604] against me.
19:14 And all his fugitives[04015] with all his bands[0102] shall fall[05307][8799] by the sword[02719], and they that remain[07604][8737] shall be scattered[06566][8735] toward all winds[07307]: and ye shall know[03045][8804] that I the LORD[03068] have spoken[01696][8765] it .
20:1 Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; I will also take[03947][8804] of the highest branch[06788] of the high[07311][8802] cedar[0730], and will set[05414][8804] it ; I will crop off[06998][8799] from the top[07218] of his young twigs[03127] a tender one[07390], and will plant[08362][8804] it upon an high[01364] mountain[02022] and eminent[08524][8803]:
20:2 In the mountain[02022] of the height[04791] of Israel[03478] will I plant[08362][8799] it: and it shall bring forth[05375][8804] boughs[06057], and bear[06213][8804] fruit[06529], and be a goodly[0117] cedar[0730]: and under it shall dwell[07931][8804] all fowl[06833] of every wing[03671]; in the shadow[06738] of the branches[01808] thereof shall they dwell[07931][8799].
20:3 And all the trees[06086] of the field[07704] shall know[03045][8804] that I the LORD[03068] have brought down[08213][8689] the high[01364] tree[06086], have exalted[01361][8689] the low[08217] tree[06086], have dried[03001][8689] up the green[03892] tree[06086], and have made the dry[03002] tree[06086] to flourish[06524][8689]: I the LORD[03068] have spoken[01696][8765] and have done[06213][8804] it .
20:4 The word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me again, saying[0559][8800],
20:5 What mean ye, that ye use[04911][8802] this proverb[04912] concerning the land[0127] of Israel[03478], saying[0559][8800], The fathers[01] have eaten[0398][8799] sour grapes[01155], and the children's[01121] teeth[08127] are set on edge[06949][8799]?
20:6 As I live[02416], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], ye shall not have occasion any more to use[04911][8800] this proverb[04912] in Israel[03478].
20:7 Behold, all souls[05315] are mine; as the soul[05315] of the father[01], so also the soul[05315] of the son[01121] is mine: the soul[05315] that sinneth[02398][8802], it shall die[04191][8799].
20:8 But if a man[0376] be just[06662], and do[06213][8804] that which is lawful[04941] and right[06666], that...: Heb. judgment and justice
20:9 And hath not eaten[0398][8804] upon the mountains[02022], neither hath lifted up[05375][8804] his eyes[05869] to the idols[01544] of the house[01004] of Israel[03478], neither hath defiled[02930][8765] his neighbour's[07453] wife[0802], neither hath come near[07126][8799] to a menstruous[05079] woman[0802],
20:10 And hath not oppressed[03238][8686] any[0376], but hath restored[07725][8686] to the debtor[02326] his pledge[02258], hath spoiled[01497][8799] none by violence[01500], hath given[05414][8799] his bread[03899] to the hungry[07457], and hath covered[03680][8762] the naked[05903] with a garment[0899];
20:11 He that hath not given forth[05414][8799] upon usury[05392], neither hath taken[03947][8799] any increase[08636], that hath withdrawn[07725][8686] his hand[03027] from iniquity[05766], hath executed[06213][8799] true[0571] judgment[04941] between man[0376] and man[0376],
20:12 Hath walked[01980][8762] in my statutes[02708], and hath kept[08104][8804] my judgments[04941], to deal[06213][8800] truly[0571]; he is just[06662], he shall surely[02421][8800] live[02421][8799], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
20:13 If he beget[03205][8689] a son[01121] that is a robber[06530], a shedder[08210][8802] of blood[01818], and that doeth[06213][8804] the like[0251] to any one[0259] of these things , robber: or, breaker up of an house that doeth...: or, that doeth to his brother besides any of these
20:14 And that doeth[06213][8804] not any of those duties , but even hath eaten[0398][8804] upon the mountains[02022], and defiled[02930][8765] his neighbour's[07453] wife[0802],
20:15 Hath oppressed[03238][8689] the poor[06041] and needy[034], hath spoiled[01497][8804] by violence[01500], hath not restored[07725][8686] the pledge[02258], and hath lifted up[05375][8804] his eyes[05869] to the idols[01544], hath committed[06213][8804] abomination[08441],
20:16 Hath given forth[05414][8804] upon usury[05392], and hath taken[03947][8804] increase[08636]: shall he then live[02425][8804]? he shall not live[02421][8799]: he hath done[06213][8804] all these abominations[08441]; he shall surely[04191][8800] die[04191][8714]; his blood[01818] shall be upon him. blood: Heb. bloods
20:17 Now, lo, if he beget[03205][8689] a son[01121], that seeth[07200][8799] all his father's[01] sins[02403] which he hath done[06213][8804], and considereth[07200][8799], and doeth[06213][8799] not such like[02004],
20:18 That hath not eaten[0398][8804] upon the mountains[02022], neither hath lifted up[05375][8804] his eyes[05869] to the idols[01544] of the house[01004] of Israel[03478], hath not defiled[02930][8765] his neighbour's[07453] wife[0802],
20:19 Neither hath oppressed[03238][8689] any[0376], hath not withholden[02254][8804] the pledge[02258], neither hath spoiled[01497][8804] by violence[01500], but hath given[05414][8804] his bread[03899] to the hungry[07457], and hath covered[03680][8765] the naked[05903] with a garment[0899], hath not...: Heb. hath not pledged the pledge, or, taken to pledge
20:20 That hath taken off[07725][8689] his hand[03027] from the poor[06041], that hath not received[03947][8804] usury[05392] nor increase[08636], hath executed[06213][8804] my judgments[04941], hath walked[01980][8804] in my statutes[02708]; he shall not die[04191][8799] for the iniquity[05771] of his father[01], he shall surely[02421][8800] live[02421][8799].
20:21 As for his father[01], because he cruelly[06233] oppressed[06231][8804], spoiled[01497][8804] his brother[0251] by violence[01499], and did[06213][8804] that which is not good[02896] among[08432] his people[05971], lo, even he shall die[04191][8801] in his iniquity[05771].
20:22 Yet say[0559][8804] ye, Why? doth not the son[01121] bear[05375][8804] the iniquity[05771] of the father[01]? When the son[01121] hath done[06213][8804] that which is lawful[04941] and right[06666], and hath kept[08104][8804] all my statutes[02708], and hath done[06213][8799] them, he shall surely[02421][8800] live[02421][8799].
20:23 The soul[05315] that sinneth[02398][8802], it shall die[04191][8799]. The son[01121] shall not bear[05375][8799] the iniquity[05771] of the father[01], neither shall the father[01] bear[05375][8799] the iniquity[05771] of the son[01121]: the righteousness[06666] of the righteous[06662] shall be upon him, and the wickedness[07564] of the wicked[07563] shall be upon him.
20:24 But if the wicked[07563] will turn[07725][8799] from all his sins[02403] that he hath committed[06213][8804], and keep[08104][8804] all my statutes[02708], and do[06213][8804] that which is lawful[04941] and right[06666], he shall surely[02421][8800] live[02421][8799], he shall not die[04191][8799].
20:25 All his transgressions[06588] that he hath committed[06213][8804], they shall not be mentioned[02142][8735] unto him: in his righteousness[06666] that he hath done[06213][8804] he shall live[02421][8799].
20:26 Have I any pleasure[02654][8799] at all[02654][8800] that the wicked[07563] should die[04194]? saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]: and not that he should return[07725][8800] from his ways[01870], and live[02421][8804]?
20:27 But when the righteous[06662] turneth away[07725][8800] from his righteousness[06666], and committeth[06213][8804] iniquity[05766], and doeth[06213][8799] according to all the abominations[08441] that the wicked[07563] man doeth[06213][8804], shall he live[02425][8804]? All his righteousness[06666] that he hath done[06213][8804] shall not be mentioned[02142][8735]: in his trespass[04603][8804] that he hath trespassed[04604], and in his sin[02403] that he hath sinned[02398][8804], in them shall he die[04191][8799].
20:28 Yet ye say[0559][8804], The way[01870] of the Lord[0136] is not equal[08505][8735]. Hear[08085][8798] now, O house[01004] of Israel[03478]; Is not my way[01870] equal[08505][8735]? are not your ways[01870] unequal[08505][8735]?
20:29 When a righteous[06662] man turneth away[07725][8800] from his righteousness[06666], and committeth[06213][8804] iniquity[05766], and dieth[04191][8804] in them; for his iniquity[05766] that he hath done[06213][8804] shall he die[04191][8799].
20:30 Again, when the wicked[07563] man turneth away[07725][8800] from his wickedness[07564] that he hath committed[06213][8804], and doeth[06213][8799] that which is lawful[04941] and right[06666], he shall save[02421][00] his soul[05315] alive[02421][8762].
20:31 Because he considereth[07200][8799], and turneth away[07725][8799] from all his transgressions[06588] that he hath committed[06213][8804], he shall surely[02421][8800] live[02421][8799], he shall not die[04191][8799].
20:32 Yet saith[0559][8804] the house[01004] of Israel[03478], The way[01870] of the Lord[0136] is not equal[08505][8735]. O house[01004] of Israel[03478], are not my ways[01870] equal[08505][8735]? are not your ways[01870] unequal[08505][8735]?
20:33 Therefore I will judge[08199][8799] you, O house[01004] of Israel[03478], every one[0376] according to his ways[01870], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]. Repent[07725][8798], and turn[07725][8685]  yourselves from all your transgressions[06588]; so iniquity[05771] shall not be your ruin[04383]. yourselves: or, others
20:34 Cast away[07993][8685] from you all your transgressions[06588], whereby ye have transgressed[06586][8804]; and make[06213][8798] you a new[02319] heart[03820] and a new[02319] spirit[07307]: for why will ye die[04191][8799], O house[01004] of Israel[03478]?
20:35 For I have no pleasure[02654][8799] in the death[04194] of him that dieth[04191][8801], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]: wherefore turn[07725][8685] yourselves , and live[02421][8798] ye. yourselves: or, others
20:36 Moreover take thou up[05375][8798] a lamentation[07015] for the princes[05387] of Israel[03478],
20:37 And say[0559][8804], What is thy mother[0517]? A lioness[03833]: she lay down[07257][8804] among lions[0738], she nourished[07235][8765] her whelps[01482] among[08432] young lions[03715].
20:38 And she brought up[05927][8686] one[0259] of her whelps[01482]: it became a young lion[03715], and it learned[03925][8799] to catch[02963][8800] the prey[02964]; it devoured[0398][8804] men[0120].
20:39 The nations[01471] also heard[08085][8799] of him; he was taken[08610][8738] in their pit[07845], and they brought[0935][8686] him with chains[02397] unto the land[0776] of Egypt[04714].
20:40 Now when she saw[07200][8799] that she had waited[03176][8738], and her hope[08615] was lost[06][8804], then she took[03947][8799] another[0259] of her whelps[01482], and made[07760][8804] him a young lion[03715].
20:41 And he went up and down[01980][8691] among[08432] the lions[0738], he became a young lion[03715], and learned[03925][8799] to catch[02963][8800] the prey[02964], and devoured[0398][8804] men[0120].
20:42 And he knew[03045][8799] their desolate palaces[0490], and he laid waste[02717][8689] their cities[05892]; and the land[0776] was desolate[03456][8799], and the fulness[04393] thereof, by the noise[06963] of his roaring[07581]. their desolate...: or, their widows the fulness...: or, all it containeth
20:43 Then the nations[01471] set[05414][8799] against him on every side[05439] from the provinces[04082], and spread[06566][8799] their net[07568] over him: he was taken[08610][8738] in their pit[07845].
20:44 And they put[05414][8799] him in ward[05474] in chains[02397], and brought[0935][8686] him to the king[04428] of Babylon[0894]: they brought[0935][8686] him into holds[04685], that his voice[06963] should no more be heard[08085][8735] upon the mountains[02022] of Israel[03478]. in chains: or, in hooks
20:45 Thy mother[0517] is like a vine[01612] in thy blood[01818][8676][01818], planted[08362][8803] by the waters[04325]: she was fruitful[06509][8802] and full of branches[06058] by reason of many[07227] waters[04325]. in...: or, in thy quietness, or, in thy likeness
20:46 And she had strong[05797] rods[04294] for the sceptres[07626] of them that bare rule[04910][8802], and her stature[06967] was exalted[01361][8799] among the thick branches[05688], and she appeared[07200][8735] in her height[01363] with the multitude[07230] of her branches[01808].
20:47 But she was plucked up[05428][8714] in fury[02534], she was cast down[07993][8717] to the ground[0776], and the east[06921] wind[07307] dried up[03001][8689] her fruit[06529]: her strong[05797] rods[04294] were broken[06561][8694] and withered[03001][8804]; the fire[0784] consumed[0398][8804] them.
20:48 And now she is planted[08362][8803] in the wilderness[04057], in a dry[06723] and thirsty[06772] ground[0776].
20:49 And fire[0784] is gone out[03318][8799] of a rod[04294] of her branches[0905], which hath devoured[0398][8804] her fruit[06529], so that she hath no strong[05797] rod[04294] to be a sceptre[07626] to rule[04910][8800]. This is a lamentation[07015], and shall be for a lamentation[07015].
21:1 And it came to pass in the seventh[07637] year[08141], in the fifth[02549] month , the tenth[06218] day of the month[02320], that certain[0582] of the elders[02205] of Israel[03478] came[0935][8804] to enquire[01875][8800] of the LORD[03068], and sat[03427][8799] before[06440] me.
21:2 Then came the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] unto me, saying[0559][8800],
21:3 Son[01121] of man[0120], speak[01696][8761] unto the elders[02205] of Israel[03478], and say[0559][8804] unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Are ye come[0935][8802] to enquire[01875][8800] of me? As I live[02416], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], I will not be enquired[01875][8735] of by you.
21:4 Wilt thou judge[08199][8799] them, son[01121] of man[0120], wilt thou judge[08199][8799] them ? cause them to know[03045][8685] the abominations[08441] of their fathers[01]: Wilt...: or, Wilt thou plead for them
21:5 And say[0559][8804] unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; In the day[03117] when I chose[0977][8800] Israel[03478], and lifted up[05375][8799] mine hand[03027] unto the seed[02233] of the house[01004] of Jacob[03290], and made myself known[03045][8735] unto them in the land[0776] of Egypt[04714], when I lifted[05375][8799] up mine hand[03027] unto them, saying[0559][8800], I am the LORD[03068] your God[0430]; lifted...: or, sware
21:6 In the day[03117] that I lifted up[05375][8804] mine hand[03027] unto them, to bring them forth[03318][8687] of the land[0776] of Egypt[04714] into a land[0776] that I had espied[08446][8804] for them, flowing[02100][8802] with milk[02461] and honey[01706], which is the glory[06643] of all lands[0776]:
21:7 Then said[0559][8799] I unto them, Cast ye away[07993][8685] every man[0376] the abominations[08251] of his eyes[05869], and defile[02930][8691] not yourselves with the idols[01544] of Egypt[04714]: I am the LORD[03068] your God[0430].
21:8 But they rebelled[04784][8686] against me, and would[014][8804] not hearken[08085][8800] unto me: they did not every man[0376] cast away[07993][8689] the abominations[08251] of their eyes[05869], neither did they forsake[05800][8804] the idols[01544] of Egypt[04714]: then I said[0559][8799], I will pour out[08210][8800] my fury[02534] upon them, to accomplish[03615][8763] my anger[0639] against them in the midst[08432] of the land[0776] of Egypt[04714].
21:9 But I wrought[06213][8799] for my name's[08034] sake, that it should not be polluted[02490][8736] before[05869] the heathen[01471], among[08432] whom they were , in whose sight[05869] I made myself known[03045][8738] unto them, in bringing them forth[03318][8687] out of the land[0776] of Egypt[04714].
21:10 Wherefore I caused them to go forth[03318][8686] out of the land[0776] of Egypt[04714], and brought[0935][8686] them into the wilderness[04057].
21:11 And I gave[05414][8799] them my statutes[02708], and shewed[03045][8689] them my judgments[04941], which if a man[0120] do[06213][8799], he shall even live[02425][8804] in them. shewed...: Heb. made them to know
21:12 Moreover also I gave[05414][8804] them my sabbaths[07676], to be a sign[0226] between me and them, that they might know[03045][8800] that I am the LORD[03068] that sanctify[06942][8764] them.
21:13 But the house[01004] of Israel[03478] rebelled[04784][8686] against me in the wilderness[04057]: they walked[01980][8804] not in my statutes[02708], and they despised[03988][8804] my judgments[04941], which if a man[0120] do[06213][8799], he shall even live[02425][8804] in them; and my sabbaths[07676] they greatly[03966] polluted[02490][8765]: then I said[0559][8799], I would pour out[08210][8800] my fury[02534] upon them in the wilderness[04057], to consume[03615][8763] them.
21:14 But I wrought[06213][8799] for my name's[08034] sake, that it should not be polluted[02490][8736] before[05869] the heathen[01471], in whose sight[05869] I brought them out[03318][8689].
21:15 Yet also I lifted up[05375][8804] my hand[03027] unto them in the wilderness[04057], that I would not bring[0935][8687] them into the land[0776] which I had given[05414][8804] them , flowing[02100][8802] with milk[02461] and honey[01706], which is the glory[06643] of all lands[0776];
21:16 Because they despised[03988][8804] my judgments[04941], and walked[01980][8804] not in my statutes[02708], but polluted[02490][8765] my sabbaths[07676]: for their heart[03820] went[01980][8802] after[0310] their idols[01544].
21:17 Nevertheless mine eye[05869] spared[02347][8799] them from destroying[07843][8763] them, neither did I make[06213][8804] an end[03617] of them in the wilderness[04057].
21:18 But I said[0559][8799] unto their children[01121] in the wilderness[04057], Walk[03212][8799] ye not in the statutes[02706] of your fathers[01], neither observe[08104][8799] their judgments[04941], nor defile[02930][8691] yourselves with their idols[01544]:
21:19 I am the LORD[03068] your God[0430]; walk[03212][8798] in my statutes[02708], and keep[08104][8798] my judgments[04941], and do[06213][8798] them;
21:20 And hallow[06942][8761] my sabbaths[07676]; and they shall be a sign[0226] between me and you, that ye may know[03045][8800] that I am the LORD[03068] your God[0430].
21:21 Notwithstanding the children[01121] rebelled[04784][8686] against me: they walked[01980][8804] not in my statutes[02708], neither kept[08104][8804] my judgments[04941] to do[06213][8800] them, which if a man[0120] do[06213][8799], he shall even live[02425][8804] in them; they polluted[02490][8765] my sabbaths[07676]: then I said[0559][8799], I would pour out[08210][8800] my fury[02534] upon them, to accomplish[03615][8763] my anger[0639] against them in the wilderness[04057].
21:22 Nevertheless I withdrew[07725][8689] mine hand[03027], and wrought[06213][8799] for my name's[08034] sake, that it should not be polluted[02490][8736] in the sight[05869] of the heathen[01471], in whose sight[05869] I brought them forth[03318][8689].
21:23 I lifted up[05375][8804] mine hand[03027] unto them also in the wilderness[04057], that I would scatter[06327][8687] them among the heathen[01471], and disperse[02219][8763] them through the countries[0776];
21:24 Because they had not executed[06213][8804] my judgments[04941], but had despised[03988][8804] my statutes[02708], and had polluted[02490][8765] my sabbaths[07676], and their eyes[05869] were after[0310] their fathers[01]' idols[01544].
21:25 Wherefore I gave[05414][8804] them also statutes[02706] that were not good[02896], and judgments[04941] whereby they should not live[02421][8799];
21:26 And I polluted[02930][8762] them in their own gifts[04979], in that they caused to pass through[05674][8687] the fire all that openeth[06363] the womb[07356], that I might make them desolate[08074][8686], to the end that they might know[03045][8799] that I am the LORD[03068].
21:27 Therefore, son[01121] of man[0120], speak[01696][8761] unto the house[01004] of Israel[03478], and say[0559][8804] unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Yet in this your fathers[01] have blasphemed[01442][8765] me, in that they have committed[04603][8800] a trespass[04604] against me. committed...: Heb. trespassed a trespass
21:28 For when I had brought[0935][8686] them into the land[0776], for the which I lifted up[05375][8804] mine hand[03027] to give[05414][8800] it to them, then they saw[07200][8799] every high[07311][8802] hill[01389], and all the thick[05687] trees[06086], and they offered[02076][8799] there their sacrifices[02077], and there they presented[05414][8799] the provocation[03708] of their offering[07133]: there also they made[07760][8799] their sweet[05207] savour[07381], and poured out[05258][8686] there their drink offerings[05262].
21:29 Then I said[0559][8799] unto them, What is the high place[01116] whereunto ye go[0935][8802]? And the name[08034] thereof is called[07121][8735] Bamah[01117] unto this day[03117]. I said...: or, I told them what the high place was, or, Bamah
21:30 Wherefore say[0559][8798] unto the house[01004] of Israel[03478], Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Are ye polluted[02930][8737] after the manner[01870] of your fathers[01]? and commit ye whoredom[02181][8802] after[0310] their abominations[08251]?
21:31 For when ye offer[05375][8800] your gifts[04979], when ye make your sons[01121] to pass through[05674][8687] the fire[0784], ye pollute[02930][8737] yourselves with all your idols[01544], even unto this day[03117]: and shall I be enquired[01875][8735] of by you, O house[01004] of Israel[03478]? As I live[02416], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], I will not be enquired[01875][8735] of by you.
21:32 And that which cometh[05927][8802] into your mind[07307] shall not be at all, that ye say[0559][8802], We will be[01961][8799] as the heathen[01471], as the families[04940] of the countries[0776], to serve[08334][8763] wood[06086] and stone[068].
22:1 As I live[02416], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], surely with a mighty[02389] hand[03027], and with a stretched out[05186][8803] arm[02220], and with fury[02534] poured out[08210][8803], will I rule[04427][8799] over you:
22:2 And I will bring you out[03318][8689] from the people[05971], and will gather[06908][8765] you out of the countries[0776] wherein ye are scattered[06327][8738], with a mighty[02389] hand[03027], and with a stretched out[05186][8803] arm[02220], and with fury[02534] poured out[08210][8803].
22:3 And I will bring[0935][8689] you into the wilderness[04057] of the people[05971], and there will I plead[08199][8738] with you face[06440] to face[06440].
22:4 Like as I pleaded[08199][8738] with your fathers[01] in the wilderness[04057] of the land[0776] of Egypt[04714], so will I plead[08199][8735] with you, saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
22:5 And I will cause you to pass[05674][8689] under the rod[07626], and I will bring[0935][8689] you into the bond[04562] of the covenant[01285]: bond: or, delivering
22:6 And I will purge out[01305][8804] from among you the rebels[04775][8802], and them that transgress[06586][8802] against me: I will bring them forth[03318][8686] out of the country[0776] where they sojourn[04033], and they shall not enter[0935][8799] into the land[0127] of Israel[03478]: and ye shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068].
22:7 As for you, O house[01004] of Israel[03478], thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Go[03212][8798] ye, serve[05647][8798] ye every one[0376] his idols[01544], and hereafter[0310] also , if ye will not hearken[08085][8802] unto me: but pollute[02490][8762] ye my holy[06944] name[08034] no more with your gifts[04979], and with your idols[01544].
22:8 For in mine holy[06944] mountain[02022], in the mountain[02022] of the height[04791] of Israel[03478], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], there shall all the house[01004] of Israel[03478], all of them in the land[0776], serve[05647][8799] me: there will I accept[07521][8799] them, and there will I require[01875][8799] your offerings[08641], and the firstfruits[07225] of your oblations[04864], with all your holy things[06944]. firstfruits: or, chief
22:9 I will accept[07521][8799] you with your sweet[05207] savour[07381], when I bring you out[03318][8687] from the people[05971], and gather[06908][8765] you out of the countries[0776] wherein ye have been scattered[06327][8738]; and I will be sanctified[06942][8738] in you before[05869] the heathen[01471]. sweet...: Heb. savour of rest
22:10 And ye shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068], when I shall bring[0935][8687] you into the land[0127] of Israel[03478], into the country[0776] for the which I lifted up[05375][8804] mine hand[03027] to give[05414][8800] it to your fathers[01].
22:11 And there shall ye remember[02142][8804] your ways[01870], and all your doings[05949], wherein ye have been defiled[02930][8738]; and ye shall lothe[06962][8738] yourselves in your own sight[06440] for all your evils[07451] that ye have committed[06213][8804].
22:12 And ye shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068], when I have wrought[06213][8800] with you for my name's[08034] sake, not according to your wicked[07451] ways[01870], nor according to your corrupt[07843][8737] doings[05949], O ye house[01004] of Israel[03478], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
22:13 Moreover the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
22:14 Son[01121] of man[0120], set[07760][8798] thy face[06440] toward[01870] the south[08486], and drop[05197][8685] thy word toward the south[01864], and prophesy[05012][8734] against the forest[03293] of the south[05045] field[07704];
22:15 And say[0559][8804] to the forest[03293] of the south[05045], Hear[08085][8798] the word[01697] of the LORD[03068]; Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Behold, I will kindle[03341][8688] a fire[0784] in thee, and it shall devour[0398][8804] every green[03892] tree[06086] in thee, and every dry[03002] tree[06086]: the flaming[03852] flame[07957] shall not be quenched[03518][8799], and all faces[06440] from the south[05045] to the north[06828] shall be burned[06866][8738] therein.
22:16 And all flesh[01320] shall see[07200][8804] that I the LORD[03068] have kindled[01197][8765] it: it shall not be quenched[03518][8799].
22:17 Then said[0559][8799] I, Ah[0162] Lord[0136] GOD[03069]! they say[0559][8802] of me, Doth he not speak[04911][8764] parables[04912]?
22:18 And the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
22:19 Son[01121] of man[0120], set[07760][8798] thy face[06440] toward Jerusalem[03389], and drop[05197][8685] thy word toward the holy places[04720], and prophesy[05012][8734] against the land[0127] of Israel[03478],
22:20 And say[0559][8804] to the land[0127] of Israel[03478], Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth[03318][8689] my sword[02719] out of his sheath[08593], and will cut off[03772][8689] from thee the righteous[06662] and the wicked[07563].
22:21 Seeing[03282] then that I will cut off[03772][8689] from thee the righteous[06662] and the wicked[07563], therefore shall my sword[02719] go forth[03318][8799] out of his sheath[08593] against all flesh[01320] from the south[05045] to the north[06828]:
22:22 That all flesh[01320] may know[03045][8804] that I the LORD[03068] have drawn forth[03318][8689] my sword[02719] out of his sheath[08593]: it shall not return[07725][8799] any more.
22:23 Sigh[0584][8734] therefore, thou son[01121] of man[0120], with the breaking[07670] of thy loins[04975]; and with bitterness[04814] sigh[0584][8735] before their eyes[05869].
22:24 And it shall be, when they say[0559][8799] unto thee, Wherefore sighest[0584][8737] thou? that thou shalt answer[0559][8804], For the tidings[08052]; because it cometh[0935][8802]: and every heart[03820] shall melt[04549][8738], and all hands[03027] shall be feeble[07503][8804], and every spirit[07307] shall faint[03543][8765], and all knees[01290] shall be weak[03212][8799] as water[04325]: behold, it cometh[0935][8802], and shall be brought to pass[01961][8738], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]. shall be weak...: Heb. shall go into water
22:25 Again the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
22:26 Son[01121] of man[0120], prophesy[05012][8734], and say[0559][8804], Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Say[0559][8798], A sword[02719], a sword[02719] is sharpened[02300][8717], and also furbished[04803][8803]:
22:27 It is sharpened[02300][8717] to make a sore[02874] slaughter[02873][8800]; it is furbished[04178][8794] that it may glitter[01300]: should[0176] we then make mirth[07797][8799]? it contemneth[03988][8802] the rod[07626] of my son[01121], as every tree[06086]. it contemneth...: or, it is the rod of my son, it despiseth every tree
22:28 And he hath given[05414][8799] it to be furbished[04803][8800], that it may be handled[03709][08610][8800]: this sword[02719] is sharpened[02300][8717], and it is furbished[04178][8794], to give[05414][8800] it into the hand[03027] of the slayer[02026][8802].
22:29 Cry[02199][8798] and howl[03213][8685], son[01121] of man[0120]: for it shall be upon my people[05971], it shall be upon all the princes[05387] of Israel[03478]: terrors[04048][8803] by reason of[0413] the sword[02719] shall be upon my people[05971]: smite[05606][8798] therefore upon thy thigh[03409]. terrors...: or, they are thrust down to the sword with my people
22:30 Because it is a trial[0974][8795], and what if the sword contemn[03988][8802] even the rod[07626]? it shall be no more , saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]. Because...: or, When the trial hath been, what then? shall they not also belong to the despising rod?
22:31 Thou therefore, son[01121] of man[0120], prophesy[05012][8734], and smite[05221][00] thine hands[03709][03709] together[05221][8685], and let the sword[02719] be doubled[03717][8735] the third[07992] time, the sword[02719] of the slain[02491]: it is the sword[02719] of the great[01419] men that are slain[02491], which entereth into their privy chambers[02314][8802]. hands...: Heb. hand to hand
23:1 I have set[05414][8804] the point[019] of the sword[02719] against all their gates[08179], that their heart[03820] may faint[04127][8800], and their ruins[04383] be multiplied[07235][8687]: ah[0253]! it is made[06213][8803] bright[01300], it is wrapped up[04593] for the slaughter[02874]. point: or, glittering, or, fear wrapped up: or, sharpened
23:2 Go thee one way or other[0258][8690], either on[07760][8685] the right hand[03231][8685], or on the left[08041][8685], whithersoever[0575] thy face[06440] is  set[03259][8716]. or on...: Heb. set thyself, take the left hand
23:3 I will also smite[05221][8686] mine hands[03709] together[03709], and I will cause my fury[02534] to rest[05117][8689]: I the LORD[03068] have said[01696][8765] it .
23:4 The word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me again, saying[0559][8800],
23:5 Also, thou son[01121] of man[0120], appoint[07760][8798] thee two[08147] ways[01870], that the sword[02719] of the king[04428] of Babylon[0894] may come[0935][8800]: both twain[08147] shall come forth[03318][8799] out of one[0259] land[0776]: and choose[01254][8761] thou a place[03027], choose[01254][8761] it at the head[07218] of the way[01870] to the city[05892].
23:6 Appoint[07760][8799] a way[01870], that the sword[02719] may come[0935][8800] to Rabbath[07237] of the Ammonites[01121][05983], and to Judah[03063] in Jerusalem[03389] the defenced[01219][8803].
23:7 For the king[04428] of Babylon[0894] stood[05975][8804] at the parting[0517] of the way[01870], at the head[07218] of the two[08147] ways[01870], to use[07080][8800] divination[07081]: he made his arrows[02671] bright[07043][8773], he consulted[07592][8804] with images[08655], he looked[07200][8804] in the liver[03516]. parting of: Heb. mother of arrows: or, knives images: Heb. teraphim
23:8 At his right hand[03225] was the divination[07081] for Jerusalem[03389], to appoint[07760][8800] captains[03733], to open[06605][8800] the mouth[06310] in the slaughter[07524], to lift up[07311][8687] the voice[06963] with shouting[08643], to appoint[07760][8800] battering rams[03733] against the gates[08179], to cast[08210][8800] a mount[05550], and  to build[01129][8800] a fort[01785]. captains: or, battering rams: Heb. rams
23:9 And it shall be unto them as a false[07723] divination[07080][8800] in their sight[05869], to them that have sworn[07650][8803] oaths[07621]: but he will call to remembrance[02142][8688] the iniquity[05771], that they may be taken[08610][8736]. to them...: or, for the oaths made unto them
23:10 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Because ye have made your iniquity[05771] to be remembered[02142][8687], in that your transgressions[06588] are discovered[01540][8736], so that in all your doings[05949] your sins[02403] do appear[07200][8736]; because, I say , that ye are come to remembrance[02142][8736], ye shall be taken[08610][8735] with the hand[03709].
23:11 And thou, profane[02491] wicked[07563] prince[05387] of Israel[03478], whose day[03117] is come[0935][8804], when[06256] iniquity[05771] shall have an end[07093],
23:12 Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Remove[05493][8685] the diadem[04701], and take off[07311][8685] the crown[05850]: this shall not be the same[02063]: exalt[01361][8687] him that is  low[08217], and abase[08213][8687] him that is high[01364].
23:13 I will overturn[05754], overturn[05754], overturn[05754], it: and it shall be[07760][8799] no more , until he come[0935][8800] whose right[04941] it is; and I will give[05414][8804] it him . I will overturn...: Heb. Perverted, perverted, perverted, will I make it
23:14 And thou, son[01121] of man[0120], prophesy[05012][8734] and say[0559][8804], Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069] concerning the Ammonites[01121][05983], and concerning their reproach[02781]; even say[0559][8804] thou, The sword[02719], the sword[02719] is drawn[06605][8803]: for the slaughter[02874] it is furbished[04803][8803], to consume[0398][8687] because of the glittering[01300]:
23:15 Whiles they see[02372][8800] vanity[07723] unto thee, whiles they divine[07080][8800] a lie[03577] unto thee, to bring[05414][8800] thee upon the necks[06677] of them that are  slain[02491], of the wicked[07563], whose day[03117] is come[0935][8804], when[06256] their iniquity[05771] shall have an end[07093].
23:16 Shall I cause it to return[07725][8685] into his sheath[08593]? I will judge[08199][8799] thee in the place[04725] where thou wast created[01254][8738], in the land[0776] of thy nativity[04351]. Shall...: or, Cause it to return
23:17 And I will pour out[08210][8804] mine indignation[02195] upon thee, I will blow[06315][8686] against thee in the fire[0784] of my wrath[05678], and deliver[05414][8804] thee into the hand[03027] of brutish[01197][8802] men[0582], and skilful[02796] to destroy[04889]. brutish: or, burning
23:18 Thou shalt be for fuel[0402] to the fire[0784]; thy blood[01818] shall be in the midst[08432] of the land[0776]; thou shalt be no more remembered[02142][8735]: for I the LORD[03068] have spoken[01696][8765] it .
23:19 Moreover the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
23:20 Now, thou son[01121] of man[0120], wilt thou judge[08199][8799], wilt thou judge[08199][8799] the bloody[01818] city[05892]? yea, thou shalt shew[03045][8689] her all her abominations[08441]. judge: or, plead for bloody...: Heb. city of bloods? shew her: Heb. make her know
23:21 Then say[0559][8804] thou, Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], The city[05892] sheddeth[08210][8802] blood[01818] in the midst[08432] of it, that her time[06256] may come[0935][8800], and maketh[06213][8804] idols[01544] against herself to defile[02930][8800] herself.
23:22 Thou art become guilty[0816][8804] in thy blood[01818] that thou hast shed[08210][8804]; and hast defiled[02930][8804] thyself in thine idols[01544] which thou hast made[06213][8804]; and thou hast caused thy days[03117] to draw near[07126][8686], and art come[0935][8799] even unto thy years[08141]: therefore have I made[05414][8804] thee a reproach[02781] unto the heathen[01471], and a mocking[07048] to all countries[0776].
23:23 Those that be near[07138], and those that be far[07350] from thee, shall mock[07046][8691] thee, which art infamous[02931][08034] and much[07227] vexed[04103]. infamous...: Heb. polluted of name, much in vexation

23:25 In thee have they set light[07043][8689] by father[01] and mother[0517]: in the midst[08432] of thee have they dealt[06213][8804] by oppression[06233] with the stranger[01616]: in thee have they vexed[03238][8689] the fatherless[03490] and the widow[0490]. oppression: or, deceit

23:27 In thee are men[0582] that carry tales[07400] to shed[08210][8800] blood[01818]: and in thee they eat[0398][8804] upon the mountains[02022]: in the midst[08432] of thee they commit[06213][8804] lewdness[02154]. that...: Heb. of slanders
23:28 In thee have they discovered[01540][8765] their fathers[01]' nakedness[06172]: in thee have they humbled[06031][8765] her that was set apart[05079] for pollution[02931].
23:29 And one[0376] hath committed[06213][8804] abomination[08441] with his neighbour's[07453] wife[0802]; and another[0376] hath lewdly[02154] defiled[02930][8765] his daughter in law[03618]; and another[0376] in thee hath humbled[06031][8765] his sister[0269], his father's[01] daughter[01323]. one: or, every one another: or, every one lewdly: or, by lewdness

23:31 Behold, therefore I have smitten[05221][8689] mine hand[03709] at thy dishonest gain[01215] which thou hast made[06213][8804], and at thy blood[01818] which hath been in the midst[08432] of thee.
23:32 Can thine heart[03820] endure[05975][8799], or can thine hands[03027] be strong[02388][8799], in the days[03117] that I shall deal[06213][8802] with thee? I the LORD[03068] have spoken[01696][8765] it , and will do[06213][8804] it .
23:33 And I will scatter[06327][8689] thee among the heathen[01471], and disperse[02219][8765] thee in the countries[0776], and will consume[08552][8689] thy filthiness[02932] out of thee.
23:34 And thou shalt take thine inheritance[02490][8738][8676][05157][8765] in thyself in the sight[05869] of the heathen[01471], and thou shalt know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068]. shalt take...: or, shalt be profaned
23:35 And the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
23:36 Son[01121] of man[0120], the house[01004] of Israel[03478] is to me become dross[05509]: all they are brass[05178], and tin[0913], and iron[01270], and lead[05777], in the midst[08432] of the furnace[03564]; they are even the dross[05509] of silver[03701]. dross of silver: Heb. drosses, etc
23:37 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Because ye are all become dross[05509], behold, therefore I will gather[06908][8802] you into the midst[08432] of Jerusalem[03389].
23:38 As they gather[06910] silver[03701], and brass[05178], and iron[01270], and lead[05777], and tin[0913], into the midst[08432] of the furnace[03564], to blow[05301][8800] the fire[0784] upon it, to melt[05413][8687] it ; so will I gather[06908][8799] you in mine anger[0639] and in my fury[02534], and I will leave[03240][8689] you there , and melt[05413][8689] you. As...: Heb. According to the gathering
23:39 Yea, I will gather[03664][8765] you, and blow[05301][8804] upon you in the fire[0784] of my wrath[05678], and ye shall be melted[05413][8738] in the midst[08432] thereof.
23:40 As silver[03701] is melted[02046] in the midst[08432] of the furnace[03564], so shall ye be melted[05413][8714] in the midst[08432] thereof; and ye shall know[03045][8804] that I the LORD[03068] have poured out[08210][8804] my fury[02534] upon you.
23:41 And the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
23:42 Son[01121] of man[0120], say[0559][8798] unto her, Thou art the land[0776] that is not cleansed[02891][8794], nor rained[01656] upon in the day[03117] of indignation[02195].
23:43 There is a conspiracy[07195] of her prophets[05030] in the midst[08432] thereof, like a roaring[07580][8802] lion[0738] ravening[02963][8802] the prey[02964]; they have devoured[0398][8804] souls[05315]; they have taken[03947][8799] the treasure[02633] and precious things[03366]; they have made her many[07235][8689] widows[0490] in the midst[08432] thereof.
23:44 Her priests[03548] have violated[02554][8804] my law[08451], and have profaned[02490][8762] mine holy things[06944]: they have put no difference[0914][8689] between the holy[06944] and profane[02455], neither have they shewed[03045][8689] difference between the unclean[02931] and the clean[02889], and have hid[05956][8689] their eyes[05869] from my sabbaths[07676], and I am profaned[02490][8735] among[08432] them. violated: Heb. offered violence to
23:45 Her princes[08269] in the midst[07130] thereof are like wolves[02061] ravening[02963][8802] the prey[02964], to shed[08210][8800] blood[01818], and to destroy[06][8763] souls[05315], to get[01214][8800] dishonest gain[01215].
23:46 And her prophets[05030] have daubed[02902][8804] them with untempered[08602] morter , seeing[02374] vanity[07723], and divining[07080][8802] lies[03577] unto them, saying[0559][8802], Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], when the LORD[03068] hath not spoken[01696][8765].
23:47 The people[05971] of the land[0776] have used oppression[06231][8804][06233], and exercised[01497][8804] robbery[01498], and have vexed[03238][8689] the poor[06041] and needy[034]: yea, they have oppressed[06231][8804] the stranger[01616] wrongfully[04941]. oppression: or, deceit wrongfully: Heb. without right
23:48 And I sought[01245][8762] for a man[0376] among them, that should make up[01443][8802] the hedge[01447], and stand[05975][8802] in the gap[06556] before[06440] me for the land[0776], that I should not destroy[07843][8763] it: but I found[04672][8804] none.
23:49 Therefore have I poured out[08210][8799] mine indignation[02195] upon them; I have consumed[03615][8765] them with the fire[0784] of my wrath[05678]: their own way[01870] have I recompensed[05414][8804] upon their heads[07218], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
24:1 The word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came again unto me, saying[0559][8800],
24:2 Son[01121] of man[0120], there were two[08147] women[0802], the daughters[01323] of one[0259] mother[0517]:
24:3 And they committed whoredoms[02181][8799] in Egypt[04714]; they committed whoredoms[02181][8804] in their youth[05271]: there were their breasts[07699] pressed[04600][8795], and there they bruised[06213][8765] the teats[01717] of their virginity[01331].
24:4 And the names[08034] of them were Aholah[0170] the elder[01419], and Aholibah[0172] her sister[0269]: and they were mine, and they bare[03205][8799] sons[01121] and daughters[01323]. Thus were their names[08034]; Samaria[08111] is Aholah[0170], and Jerusalem[03389] Aholibah[0172]. Aholah: that is, His tent, or, tabernacle Aholibah: that is, My tabernacle in her
24:5 And Aholah[0170] played the harlot[02181][8799] when she was mine[08478]; and she doted[05689][8799] on her lovers[0157][8764], on the Assyrians[0804] her neighbours[07138],
24:6 Which were clothed[03847][8803] with blue[08504], captains[06346] and rulers[05461], all of them desirable[02531] young men[0970], horsemen[06571] riding[07392][8802] upon horses[05483].
24:7 Thus she committed[05414][8799] her whoredoms[08457] with them, with all them that were the chosen[04005] men[01121] of Assyria[0804], and with all on whom she doted[05689][8804]: with all their idols[01544] she defiled[02930][8738] herself. committed...: Heb. bestowed her whoredoms upon them the chosen...: Heb. the choice of the children of Asshur
24:8 Neither left[05800][8804] she her whoredoms[08457] brought from Egypt[04714]: for in her youth[05271] they lay[07901][8804] with her, and they bruised[06213][8765] the breasts[01717] of her virginity[01331], and poured[08210][8799] their whoredom[08457] upon her.
24:9 Wherefore I have delivered[05414][8804] her into the hand[03027] of her lovers[0157][8764], into the hand[03027] of the Assyrians[01121][0804], upon whom she doted[05689][8804].
24:10 These discovered[01540][8765] her nakedness[06172]: they took[03947][8804] her sons[01121] and her daughters[01323], and slew[02026][8804] her with the sword[02719]: and she became famous[08034] among women[0802]; for they had executed[06213][8804] judgment[08196] upon her. famous: Heb. a name
24:11 And when her sister[0269] Aholibah[0172] saw[07200][8799] this , she was more corrupt[07843][8686] in her inordinate love[05691] than she, and in her whoredoms[08457] more than her sister[0269] in her whoredoms[02183]. she was...: Heb. she corrupted her inordinate love more than, etc more than...: Heb. more than the whoredoms of her sister
24:12 She doted[05689][8804] upon the Assyrians[01121][0804] her neighbours[07138], captains[06346] and rulers[05461] clothed[03847][8803] most gorgeously[04358], horsemen[06571] riding[07392][8802] upon horses[05483], all of them desirable[02531] young men[0970].
24:13 Then I saw[07200][8799] that she was defiled[02930][8738], that they took both[08147] one[0259] way[01870],
24:14 And that she increased[03254][8686] her whoredoms[08457]: for when she saw[07200][8799] men[0582] pourtrayed[02707][8794] upon the wall[07023], the images[06754] of the Chaldeans[03778] pourtrayed[02710][8803] with vermilion[08350],
24:15 Girded[02289] with girdles[0232] upon their loins[04975], exceeding[05628][8803] in dyed attire[02871] upon their heads[07218], all of them princes[07991] to look to[04758], after the manner[01823] of the Babylonians[01121][0894] of Chaldea[03778], the land[0776] of their nativity[04138]:
24:16 And as soon as she saw[04758] them with her eyes[05869], she doted[05689][8799] upon them, and sent[07971][8799] messengers[04397] unto them into Chaldea[03778]. as soon...: Heb. at the sight of her eyes
24:17 And the Babylonians[01121][0894] came[0935][8799] to her into the bed[04904] of love[01730], and they defiled[02930][8762] her with their whoredom[08457], and she was polluted[02930][8799] with them, and her mind[05315] was alienated[03363][8799] from them. Babylonians: Heb. children of Babel alienated: Heb. loosed, or, disjointed
24:18 So she discovered[01540][8762] her whoredoms[08457], and discovered[01540][8762] her nakedness[06172]: then my mind[05315] was alienated[03363][8799] from her, like as my mind[05315] was alienated[05361][8804] from her sister[0269].
24:19 Yet she multiplied[07235][8686] her whoredoms[08457], in calling to remembrance[02142][8800] the days[03117] of her youth[05271], wherein she had played the harlot[02181][8804] in the land[0776] of Egypt[04714].
24:20 For she doted[05689][8799] upon their paramours[06370], whose flesh[01320] is as the flesh[01320] of asses[02543], and whose issue[02231] is like the issue[02231] of horses[05483].
24:21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance[06485][8799] the lewdness[02154] of thy youth[05271], in bruising[06213][8800] thy teats[01717] by the Egyptians[04714] for the paps[07699] of thy youth[05271].
24:22 Therefore, O Aholibah[0172], thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Behold, I will raise up[05782][8688] thy lovers[0157][8764] against thee, from whom thy mind[05315] is alienated[05361][8804], and I will bring[0935][8689] them against thee on every side[05439];
24:23 The Babylonians[01121][0894], and all the Chaldeans[03778], Pekod[06489], and Shoa[07772], and Koa[06970], and all the Assyrians[01121][0804] with them: all of them desirable[02531] young men[0970], captains[06346] and rulers[05461], great lords[07991] and renowned[07121][8803], all of them riding[07392][8802] upon horses[05483].
24:24 And they shall come[0935][8804] against thee with chariots[02021], wagons[07393], and wheels[01534], and with an assembly[06951] of people[05971], which shall set[07760][8799] against thee buckler[06793] and shield[04043] and helmet[06959] round about[05439]: and I will set[05414][8804] judgment[04941] before[06440] them, and they shall judge[08199][8804] thee according to their judgments[04941].
24:25 And I will set[05414][8804] my jealousy[07068] against thee, and they shall deal[06213][8804] furiously[02534] with thee: they shall take away[05493][8686] thy nose[0639] and thine ears[0241]; and thy remnant[0319] shall fall[05307][8799] by the sword[02719]: they shall take[03947][8799] thy sons[01121] and thy daughters[01323]; and thy residue[0319] shall be devoured[0398][8735] by the fire[0784].
24:26 They shall also strip[06584][8689] thee out of thy clothes[0899], and take away[03947][8804] thy fair[08597] jewels[03627]. fair...: Heb. instruments of thy decking
24:27 Thus will I make thy lewdness[02154] to cease[07673][8689] from thee, and thy whoredom[02184] brought from the land[0776] of Egypt[04714]: so that thou shalt not lift up[05375][8799] thine eyes[05869] unto them, nor remember[02142][8799] Egypt[04714] any more.
25:1 For thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Behold, I will deliver[05414][8802] thee into the hand[03027] of them whom thou hatest[08130][8804], into the hand[03027] of them from whom thy mind[05315] is alienated[05361][8804]:
25:2 And they shall deal[06213][8804] with thee hatefully[08135], and shall take away[03947][8804] all thy labour[03018], and shall leave[05800][8804] thee naked[05903] and bare[06181]: and the nakedness[06172] of thy whoredoms[02183] shall be discovered[01540][8738], both thy lewdness[02154] and thy whoredoms[08457].
25:3 I will do[06213][8800] these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring[02181][8800] after[0310] the heathen[01471], and because thou art polluted[02930][8738] with their idols[01544].
25:4 Thou hast walked[01980][8804] in the way[01870] of thy sister[0269]; therefore will I give[05414][8804] her cup[03563] into thine hand[03027].
25:5 Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Thou shalt drink[08354][8799] of thy sister's[0269] cup[03563] deep[06013] and large[07342]: thou shalt be laughed to scorn[06712] and had in derision[03933]; it containeth[03557][8687] much[04767].
25:6 Thou shalt be filled[04390][8735] with drunkenness[07943] and sorrow[03015], with the cup[03563] of astonishment[08047] and desolation[08077], with the cup[03563] of thy sister[0269] Samaria[08111].
25:7 Thou shalt even drink[08354][8804] it and suck it out[04680][8804], and thou shalt break[01633][8762] the sherds[02789] thereof, and pluck off[05423][8762] thine own breasts[07699]: for I have spoken[01696][8765] it , saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
25:8 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Because thou hast forgotten[07911][8804] me, and cast[07993][8686] me behind[0310] thy back[01458], therefore bear[05375][8798] thou also thy lewdness[02154] and thy whoredoms[08457].
25:9 The LORD[03068] said[0559][8799] moreover unto me; Son[01121] of man[0120], wilt thou judge[08199][8799] Aholah[0170] and Aholibah[0172]? yea, declare[05046][8685] unto them their abominations[08441]; judge: or, plead for
25:10 That they have committed adultery[05003][8765], and blood[01818] is in their hands[03027], and with their idols[01544] have they committed adultery[05003][8765], and have also caused their sons[01121], whom they bare[03205][8804] unto me, to pass for them through[05674][8689] the fire , to devour[0402] them .
25:11 Moreover this they have done[06213][8804] unto me: they have defiled[02930][8765] my sanctuary[04720] in the same day[03117], and have profaned[02490][8765] my sabbaths[07676].
25:12 For when they had slain[07819][8800] their children[01121] to their idols[01544], then they came[0935][8799] the same day[03117] into my sanctuary[04720] to profane[02490][8763] it; and, lo, thus have they done[06213][8804] in the midst[08432] of mine house[01004].
25:13 And furthermore[0637], that ye have sent[07971][8799] for men[0582] to come[0935][8802] from far[04801], unto whom a messenger[04397] was sent[07971][8803]; and, lo, they came[0935][8804]: for whom thou didst wash[07364][8804] thyself, paintedst[03583][8804] thy eyes[05869], and deckedst[05710][8804] thyself with ornaments[05716], to come: Heb. coming
25:14 And satest[03427][8804] upon a stately[03520] bed[04296], and a table[07979] prepared[06186][8803] before[06440] it, whereupon thou hast set[07760][8804] mine incense[07004] and mine oil[08081]. stately: Heb. honourable
25:15 And a voice[06963] of a multitude[01995] being at ease[07961] was with her: and with the men[0582] of the common sort[07230][0120] were brought[0935][8716] Sabeans[05436][8675][05433][8802] from the wilderness[04057], which put[05414][8799] bracelets[06781] upon their hands[03027], and beautiful[08597] crowns[05850] upon their heads[07218]. of the...: Heb. of the multitude of men Sabeans: or, drunkards
25:16 Then said[0559][8799] I unto her that was old[01087] in adulteries[05004], Will they now commit[02181][8799] whoredoms[08457] with her, and she with them ? whoredoms...: Heb. her whoredoms
25:17 Yet they went in[0935][8799] unto her, as they go in[0935][8800] unto a woman[0802] that playeth the harlot[02181][8802]: so went they in[0935][8804] unto Aholah[0170] and unto Aholibah[0172], the lewd[02154] women[0802].
26:1 And the righteous[06662] men[0582], they shall judge[08199][8799] them after the manner[04941] of adulteresses[05003][8802], and after the manner[04941] of women that shed[08210][8802] blood[01818]; because they are  adulteresses[05003][8802], and blood[01818] is in their hands[03027].
26:2 For thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; I will bring up[05927][8687] a company[06951] upon them, and will give[05414][8800] them to be removed[02189] and spoiled[0957]. to be...: Heb. for a removing and spoil
26:3 And the company[06951] shall stone[07275][8804] them with stones[068], and dispatch[01254][8763] them with their swords[02719]; they shall slay[02026][8799] their sons[01121] and their daughters[01323], and burn up[08313][8799] their houses[01004] with fire[0784]. dispatch...: or, single them out
26:4 Thus will I cause lewdness[02154] to cease[07673][8689] out of the land[0776], that all women[0802] may be taught[03256][8739] not to do[06213][8799] after your lewdness[02154].
26:5 And they shall recompense[05414][8804] your lewdness[02154] upon you, and ye shall bear[05375][8799] the sins[02399] of your idols[01544]: and ye shall know[03045][8804] that I am the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
26:6 Again in the ninth[08671] year[08141], in the tenth[06224] month[02320], in the tenth[06218] day of the month[02320], the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
26:7 Son[01121] of man[0120], write[03789][8798] thee the name[08034] of the day[03117], even of this same[06106] day[03117]: the king[04428] of Babylon[0894] set[05564][8804] himself against Jerusalem[03389] this same[06106] day[03117].
26:8 And utter[04911][8798] a parable[04912] unto the rebellious[04805] house[01004], and say[0559][8804] unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Set on[08239][8798] a pot[05518], set it on[08239][8798], and also pour[03332][8798] water[04325] into it:
26:9 Gather[0622][8798] the pieces[05409] thereof into it, even every good[02896] piece[05409], the thigh[03409], and the shoulder[03802]; fill[04390][8761] it with the choice[04005] bones[06106].
26:10 Take[03947][8800] the choice[04005] of the flock[06629], and burn[01754] also the bones[06106] under it, and make it boil[07570][8761] well[07571], and let them seethe[01310][8804] the bones[06106] of it therein[08432]. burn: or, heap
26:11 Wherefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Woe[0188] to the bloody[01818] city[05892], to the pot[05518] whose scum[02457] is therein, and whose scum[02457] is not gone out[03318][8804] of it! bring it out[03318][8685] piece[05409] by piece[05409]; let no lot[01486] fall[05307][8804] upon it.
26:12 For her blood[01818] is in the midst[08432] of her; she set[07760][8804] it upon the top[06706] of a rock[05553]; she poured[08210][8804] it not upon the ground[0776], to cover[03680][8763] it with dust[06083];
26:13 That it might cause fury[02534] to come up[05927][8687] to take[05358][8800] vengeance[05359]; I have set[05414][8804] her blood[01818] upon the top[06706] of a rock[05553], that it should not be covered[03680][8736].
26:14 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Woe[0188] to the bloody[01818] city[05892]! I will even make the pile[04071] for fire great[01431][8686].
26:15 Heap[07235][8685] on wood[06086], kindle[01814][8687] the fire[0784], consume[08552][8687] the flesh[01320], and spice[07543][8687] it well[04841], and let the bones[06106] be burned[02787][8735].
26:16 Then set[05975][8687] it empty[07386] upon the coals[01513] thereof, that the brass[05178] of it may be hot[03179][8799], and may burn[02787][8804], and that the filthiness[02932] of it may be molten[05413][8738] in it[08432], that the scum[02457] of it may be consumed[08552][8799].
26:17 She hath wearied[03811][8689] herself with lies[08383], and her great[07227] scum[02457] went not forth[03318][8799] out of her: her scum[02457] shall be in the fire[0784].
26:18 In thy filthiness[02932] is lewdness[02154]: because I have purged[02891][8765] thee, and thou wast not purged[02891][8804], thou shalt not be purged[02891][8799] from thy filthiness[02932] any more, till I have caused my fury[02534] to rest[05117][8687] upon thee.
26:19 I the LORD[03068] have spoken[01696][8765] it : it shall come to pass[0935][8802], and I will do[06213][8804] it ; I will not go back[06544][8799], neither will I spare[02347][8799], neither will I repent[05162][8735]; according to thy ways[01870], and according to thy doings[05949], shall they judge[08199][8804] thee, saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
26:20 Also the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
26:21 Son[01121] of man[0120], behold, I take away[03947][8802] from thee the desire[04261] of thine eyes[05869] with a stroke[04046]: yet neither shalt thou mourn[05594][8799] nor weep[01058][8799], neither shall thy tears[01832] run down[0935][8799]. run down: Heb. go
27:1 Forbear[01826][8798] to cry[0602][8736], make[06213][8799] no mourning[060] for the dead[04191][8801], bind[02280][8798] the tire of thine head[06287] upon thee, and put on[07760][8799] thy shoes[05275] upon thy feet[07272], and cover[05844][8799] not thy lips[08222], and eat[0398][8799] not the bread[03899] of men[0582]. Forbear: Heb. Be silent lips: Heb. upper lip
27:2 So I spake[01696][8762] unto the people[05971] in the morning[01242]: and at even[06153] my wife[0802] died[04191][8799]; and I did[06213][8799] in the morning[01242] as I was commanded[06680][8795].
27:3 And the people[05971] said[0559][8799] unto me, Wilt thou not tell[05046][8686] us what these things are to us, that thou doest[06213][8802] so ?
27:4 Then I answered[0559][8799] them, The word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
27:5 Speak[0559][8798] unto the house[01004] of Israel[03478], Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Behold, I will profane[02490][8764] my sanctuary[04720], the excellency[01347] of your strength[05797], the desire[04261] of your eyes[05869], and that which your soul[05315] pitieth[04263]; and your sons[01121] and your daughters[01323] whom ye have left[05800][8804] shall fall[05307][8799] by the sword[02719]. that...: Heb. the pity of your soul
27:6 And ye shall do[06213][8804] as I have done[06213][8804]: ye shall not cover[05844][8799] your lips[08222], nor eat[0398][8799] the bread[03899] of men[0582].
27:7 And your tires[06287] shall be upon your heads[07218], and your shoes[05275] upon your feet[07272]: ye shall not mourn[05594][8799] nor weep[01058][8799]; but ye shall pine away[04743][8738] for your iniquities[05771], and mourn[05098][8804] one[0376] toward another[0251].
27:8 Thus Ezekiel[03168] is unto you a sign[04159]: according to all that he hath done[06213][8804] shall ye do[06213][8799]: and when this cometh[0935][8800], ye shall know[03045][8804] that I am the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
27:9 Also, thou son[01121] of man[0120], shall it not be in the day[03117] when I take[03947][8800] from them their strength[04581], the joy[04885] of their glory[08597], the desire[04261] of their eyes[05869], and that whereupon they set[04853] their minds[05315], their sons[01121] and their daughters[01323], that...: Heb. the lifting up of their soul
27:10 That he that escapeth[06412] in that day[03117] shall come[0935][8799] unto thee, to cause thee to hear[02045] it with thine ears[0241]?
27:11 In that day[03117] shall thy mouth[06310] be opened[06605][8735] to him which is escaped[06412], and thou shalt speak[01696][8762], and be no more dumb[0481][8735]: and thou shalt be a sign[04159] unto them; and they shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068].
27:12 The word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came again unto me, saying[0559][8800],
27:13 Son[01121] of man[0120], set[07760][8798] thy face[06440] against the Ammonites[01121][05983], and prophesy[05012][8734] against them;
27:14 And say[0559][8804] unto the Ammonites[01121][05983], Hear[08085][8798] the word[01697] of the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Because thou saidst[0559][8800], Aha[01889], against my sanctuary[04720], when it was profaned[02490][8738]; and against the land[0127] of Israel[03478], when it was desolate[08074][8738]; and against the house[01004] of Judah[03063], when they went[01980][8804] into captivity[01473];
27:15 Behold, therefore I will deliver[05414][8802] thee to the men[01121] of the east[06924] for a possession[04181], and they shall set[03427][8765] their palaces[02918] in thee, and make[05414][8804] their dwellings[04908] in thee: they shall eat[0398][8799] thy fruit[06529], and they shall drink[08354][8799] thy milk[02461]. men: Heb. children
27:16 And I will make[05414][8804] Rabbah[07237] a stable[05116] for camels[01581], and the Ammonites[01121][05983] a couchingplace[04769] for flocks[06629]: and ye shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068].

29:17 And shall cause their voice[06963] to be heard[08085][8689] against thee, and shall cry[02199][8799] bitterly[04751], and shall cast up[05927][8686] dust[06083] upon their heads[07218], they shall wallow[06428][8691] themselves in the ashes[0665]:
29:18 And they shall make themselves utterly[07144] bald[07139][8689] for thee, and gird[02296][8804] them with sackcloth[08242], and they shall weep[01058][8804] for thee with bitterness[04751] of heart[05315] and bitter[04751] wailing[04553].
29:19 And in their wailing[05204] they shall take up[05375][8804] a lamentation[07015] for thee, and lament[06969][8790] over thee, saying , What city is like Tyrus[06865], like the destroyed[01822] in the midst[08432] of the sea[03220]?
29:20 When thy wares[05801] went forth[03318][8800] out of the seas[03220], thou filledst[07646][8689] many[07227] people[05971]; thou didst enrich[06238][8689] the kings[04428] of the earth[0776] with the multitude[07230] of thy riches[01952] and of thy merchandise[04627].
29:21 In the time[06256] when thou shalt be broken[07665][8737] by the seas[03220] in the depths[04615] of the waters[04325] thy merchandise[04627] and all thy company[06951] in the midst[08432] of thee shall fall[05307][8804].
30:1 All the inhabitants[03427][8802] of the isles[0339] shall be astonished[08074][8804] at thee, and their kings[04428] shall be sore[08178] afraid[08175][8804], they shall be troubled[07481][8804] in their countenance[06440].
30:2 The merchants[05503][8802] among the people[05971] shall hiss[08319][8804] at thee; thou shalt be a terror[01091], and never shalt be any more[05704][05769]. a terror: Heb. terrors never...: Heb. shalt not be for ever
30:3 The word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came again unto me, saying[0559][8800],
30:4 Son[01121] of man[0120], say[0559][8798] unto the prince[05057] of Tyrus[06865], Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Because thine heart[03820] is lifted up[01361][8804], and thou hast said[0559][8799], I am a God[0410], I sit[03427][8804] in the seat[04186] of God[0430], in the midst[03820] of the seas[03220]; yet thou art  a man[0120], and not God[0410], though thou set[05414][8799] thine heart[03820] as the heart[03820] of God[0430]: midst: Heb. heart
30:5 Behold, thou art wiser[02450] than Daniel[01840]; there is no secret[05640][8803] that they can hide[06004][8804] from thee:
30:6 With thy wisdom[02451] and with thine understanding[08394] thou hast gotten[06213][8804] thee riches[02428], and hast gotten[06213][8799] gold[02091] and silver[03701] into thy treasures[0214]:
30:7 By thy great[07230] wisdom[02451] and by thy traffick[07404] hast thou increased[07235][8689] thy riches[02428], and thine heart[03824] is lifted up[01361][8799] because of thy riches[02428]: thy great...: Heb. the greatness of thy wisdom
30:8 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Because thou hast set[05414][8800] thine heart[03820] as the heart[03824] of God[0430];
30:9 Behold, therefore I will bring[0935][8688] strangers[02114][8801] upon thee, the terrible[06184] of the nations[01471]: and they shall draw[07324][8689] their swords[02719] against the beauty[03308] of thy wisdom[02451], and they shall defile[02490][8765] thy brightness[03314].
30:10 They shall bring thee down[03381][8686] to the pit[07845], and thou shalt die[04191][8804] the deaths[04463] of them that are slain[02491] in the midst[03820] of the seas[03220].
30:11 Wilt thou yet[0559][8800] say[0559][8799] before[06440] him that slayeth[02026][8802] thee, I am God[0430]? but thou shalt be a man[0120], and no God[0410], in the hand[03027] of him that slayeth[02490][8764] thee. of him that slayeth: or, of him that woundeth
30:12 Thou shalt die[04191][8799] the deaths[04194] of the uncircumcised[06189] by the hand[03027] of strangers[02114][8801]: for I have spoken[01696][8765] it , saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
30:13 Moreover the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
30:14 Son[01121] of man[0120], take up[05375][8798] a lamentation[07015] upon the king[04428] of Tyrus[06865], and say[0559][8804] unto him, Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Thou sealest up[02856][8802] the sum[08508], full[04392] of wisdom[02451], and perfect[03632] in beauty[03308].
30:15 Thou hast been in Eden[05731] the garden[01588] of God[0430]; every precious[03368] stone[068] was thy covering[04540], the sardius[0124], topaz[06357], and the diamond[03095], the beryl[08658], the onyx[07718], and the jasper[03471], the sapphire[05601], the emerald[05306], and the carbuncle[01304], and gold[02091]: the workmanship[04399] of thy tabrets[08596] and of thy pipes[05345] was prepared[03559][8797] in thee in the day[03117] that thou wast created[01254][8736]. sardius: or, ruby beryl: or, chrysolite emerald: or, chrysoprase
30:16 Thou art the anointed[04473] cherub[03742] that covereth[05526][8802]; and I have set[05414][8804] thee so : thou wast upon the holy[06944] mountain[02022] of God[0430]; thou hast walked up and down[01980][8694] in the midst[08432] of the stones[068] of fire[0784].
30:17 Thou wast perfect[08549] in thy ways[01870] from the day[03117] that thou wast created[01254][8736], till iniquity[05766] was found[04672][8738] in thee.
30:18 By the multitude[07230] of thy merchandise[07404] they have filled[04390][8804] the midst[08432] of thee with violence[02555], and thou hast sinned[02398][8799]: therefore I will cast thee as profane[02490][8762] out of the mountain[02022] of God[0430]: and I will destroy[06][8762] thee, O covering[05526][8802] cherub[03742], from the midst[08432] of the stones[068] of fire[0784].
30:19 Thine heart[03820] was lifted up[01361][8804] because of thy beauty[03308], thou hast corrupted[07843][8765] thy wisdom[02451] by reason of[05921] thy brightness[03314]: I will cast[07993][8689] thee to the ground[0776], I will lay[05414][8804] thee before[06440] kings[04428], that they may behold[07200][8800] thee.
30:20 Thou hast defiled[02490][8765] thy sanctuaries[04720] by the multitude[07230] of thine iniquities[05771], by the iniquity[05766] of thy traffick[07404]; therefore will I bring forth[03318][8686] a fire[0784] from the midst[08432] of thee, it shall devour[0398][8804] thee, and I will bring[05414][8799] thee to ashes[0665] upon the earth[0776] in the sight[05869] of all them that behold[07200][8802] thee.
30:21 All they that know[03045][8802] thee among the people[05971] shall be astonished[08074][8804] at thee: thou shalt be a terror[01091], and never[0369] shalt thou be any more[05704][05769]. a terror: Heb. terrors
30:22 Again the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
30:23 Son[01121] of man[0120], set[07760][8798] thy face[06440] against Zidon[06721], and prophesy[05012][8734] against it,
30:24 And say[0559][8804], Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon[06721]; and I will be glorified[03513][8738] in the midst[08432] of thee: and they shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068], when I shall have executed[06213][8800] judgments[08201] in her, and shall be sanctified[06942][8738] in her.
30:25 For I will send[07971][8765] into her pestilence[01698], and blood[01818] into her streets[02351]; and the wounded[02491] shall be judged[05307][8768] in the midst[08432] of her by the sword[02719] upon her on every side[05439]; and they shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068].
30:26 And there shall be no more a pricking[03992][8688] brier[05544] unto the house[01004] of Israel[03478], nor any grieving[03510][8688] thorn[06975] of all that are round about[05439] them, that despised[07590][8801] them; and they shall know[03045][8804] that I am the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
31:1 Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; When I shall have gathered[06908][8763] the house[01004] of Israel[03478] from the people[05971] among whom they are scattered[06327][8738], and shall be sanctified[06942][8738] in them in the sight[05869] of the heathen[01471], then shall they dwell[03427][8804] in their land[0127] that I have given[05414][8804] to my servant[05650] Jacob[03290].
31:2 And they shall dwell[03427][8804] safely[0983] therein, and shall build[01129][8804] houses[01004], and plant[05193][8804] vineyards[03754]; yea, they shall dwell[03427][8804] with confidence[0983], when I have executed[06213][8800] judgments[08201] upon all those that despise[07590][8801] them round about[05439] them; and they shall know[03045][8804] that I am  the LORD[03068] their God[0430]. safely: or, with confidence despise: or, spoil
31:3 In the tenth[06224] year[08141], in the tenth[06224] month , in the twelfth[08147][06240] day of the month[02320], the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
31:4 Son[01121] of man[0120], set[07760][8798] thy face[06440] against Pharaoh[06547] king[04428] of Egypt[04714], and prophesy[05012][8734] against him, and against all Egypt[04714]:
31:5 Speak[01696][8761], and say[0559][8804], Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh[06547] king[04428] of Egypt[04714], the great[01419] dragon[08577] that lieth[07257][8802] in the midst[08432] of his rivers[02975], which hath said[0559][8804], My river[02975] is mine own, and I have made[06213][8804] it for myself.
31:6 But I will put[05414][8804] hooks[02397][8676][02397] in thy jaws[03895], and I will cause the fish[01710] of thy rivers[02975] to stick[01692][8689] unto thy scales[07193], and I will bring thee up[05927][8689] out of the midst[08432] of thy rivers[02975], and all the fish[01710] of thy rivers[02975] shall stick[01692][8799] unto thy scales[07193].
31:7 And I will leave[05203][8804] thee thrown into the wilderness[04057], thee and all the fish[01710] of thy rivers[02975]: thou shalt fall[05307][8799] upon the open[06440] fields[07704]; thou shalt not be brought together[0622][8735], nor gathered[06908][8735]: I have given[05414][8804] thee for meat[0402] to the beasts[02416] of the field[0776] and to the fowls[05775] of the heaven[08064]. open...: Heb. face of the field
31:8 And all the inhabitants[03427][8802] of Egypt[04714] shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068], because they have been a staff[04938] of reed[07070] to the house[01004] of Israel[03478].
31:9 When they took hold[08610][8800] of thee by thy hand[03709], thou didst break[07533][8735], and rend[01234][8804] all their shoulder[03802]: and when they leaned[08172][8736] upon thee, thou brakest[07665][8735], and madest all their loins[04975] to be at a stand[05976][8689].
31:10 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Behold, I will bring[0935][8688] a sword[02719] upon thee, and cut off[03772][8689] man[0120] and beast[0929] out of thee.
31:11 And the land[0776] of Egypt[04714] shall be desolate[08077] and waste[02723]; and they shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068]: because he hath said[0559][8804], The river[02975] is mine, and I have made[06213][8804] it .
31:12 Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers[02975], and I will make[05414][8804] the land[0776] of Egypt[04714] utterly[02721] waste[02723] and desolate[08077], from the tower[04024] of Syene[05482] even unto the border[01366] of Ethiopia[03568]. utterly...: Heb. wastes of waste from...: or, from Migdol to Syene Syene: Heb.

31:14 And I will make[05414][8804] the land[0776] of Egypt[04714] desolate[08077] in the midst[08432] of the countries[0776] that are desolate[08074][8737], and her cities[05892] among[08432] the cities[05892] that are laid waste[02717][8716] shall be desolate[08077] forty[0705] years[08141]: and I will scatter[06327][8689] the Egyptians[04714] among the nations[01471], and will disperse[02219][8765] them through the countries[0776].
31:15 Yet thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; At the end[07093] of forty[0705] years[08141] will I gather[06908][8762] the Egyptians[04714] from the people[05971] whither they were scattered[06327][8738]:
31:16 And I will bring again[07725][8804] the captivity[07622] of Egypt[04714], and will cause them to return[07725][8689] into the land[0776] of Pathros[06624], into the land[0776] of their habitation[04351]; and they shall be there a base[08217] kingdom[04467]. habitation: or, birth base: Heb. low
31:17 It shall be the basest[08217] of the kingdoms[04467]; neither shall it exalt[05375][8691] itself any more above the nations[01471]: for I will diminish[04591][8689] them, that they shall no more rule[07287][8800] over the nations[01471].
31:18 And it shall be no more the confidence[04009] of the house[01004] of Israel[03478], which bringeth[02142][00] their iniquity[05771] to remembrance[02142][8688], when they shall look[06437][8800] after[0310] them: but they shall know[03045][8804] that I am the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
32:1 And it came to pass in the seven[07651] and twentieth[06242] year[08141], in the first[07223] month , in the first[0259] day of the month[02320], the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
32:2 Son[01121] of man[0120], Nebuchadrezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894] caused[05647][00] his army[02428] to serve[05647][8689] a great[01419] service[05656] against Tyrus[06865]: every head[07218] was made bald[07139][8716], and every shoulder[03802] was peeled[04803][8803]: yet had he no wages[07939], nor his army[02428], for Tyrus[06865], for the service[05656] that he had served[05647][8804] against it:
32:3 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Behold, I will give[05414][8802] the land[0776] of Egypt[04714] unto Nebuchadrezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894]; and he shall take[05375][8804] her multitude[01995], and take[07997][8804] her spoil[07998], and take[0962][8804] her prey[0957]; and it shall be the wages[07939] for his army[02428]. take her spoil...: Heb. spoil her spoil, and prey her prey

32:5 In that day[03117] will I cause[06779][00] the horn[07161] of the house[01004] of Israel[03478] to bud forth[06779][8686], and I will give[05414][8799] thee the opening[06610] of the mouth[06310] in the midst[08432] of them; and they shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068].
32:6 The word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came again unto me, saying[0559][8800],

32:8 For the day[03117] is near[07138], even the day[03117] of the LORD[03068] is near[07138], a cloudy[06051] day[03117]; it shall be the time[06256] of the heathen[01471].
32:9 And the sword[02719] shall come[0935][8804] upon Egypt[04714], and great pain[02479] shall be in Ethiopia[03568], when the slain[02491] shall fall[05307][8800] in Egypt[04714], and they shall take away[03947][8804] her multitude[01995], and her foundations[03247] shall be broken down[02040][8738]. pain: or, fear
32:10 Ethiopia[03568], and Libya[06316], and Lydia[03865], and all the mingled[06153] people, and Chub[03552], and the men[01121] of the land[0776] that is in league[01285], shall fall[05307][8799] with them by the sword[02719]. Libya: Heb. Phut men: Heb. children
32:11 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; They also that uphold[05564][8802] Egypt[04714] shall fall[05307][8804]; and the pride[01347] of her power[05797] shall come down[03381][8804]: from the tower[04024] of Syene[05482] shall they fall[05307][8799] in it by the sword[02719], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]. from...: or, from Migdol to Syene

32:15 Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; I will also make the multitude[01995] of Egypt[04714] to cease[07673][8689] by the hand[03027] of Nebuchadrezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894].
32:16 He and his people[05971] with him, the terrible[06184] of the nations[01471], shall be brought[0935][8716] to destroy[07843][8763] the land[0776]: and they shall draw[07324][8689] their swords[02719] against Egypt[04714], and fill[04390][8804] the land[0776] with the slain[02491].
32:17 And I will make[05414][8804] the rivers[02975] dry[02724], and sell[04376][8804] the land[0776] into the hand[03027] of the wicked[07451]: and I will make the land[0776] waste[08074][8689], and all that is therein[04393], by the hand[03027] of strangers[02114][8801]: I the LORD[03068] have spoken[01696][8765] it . dry: Heb. drought all...: Heb. the fulness thereof

32:19 And I will make Pathros[06624] desolate[08074][8689], and will set[05414][8804] fire[0784] in Zoan[06814], and will execute[06213][8804] judgments[08201] in No[04996]. Zoan: or, Tanis
32:20 And I will pour[08210][8804] my fury[02534] upon Sin[05512], the strength[04581] of Egypt[04714]; and I will cut off[03772][8689] the multitude[01995] of No[04996]. Sin: or, Pelusium
32:21 And I will set[05414][8804] fire[0784] in Egypt[04714]: Sin[05512] shall have great[02342][8800] pain[02342][8799], and No[04996] shall be rent asunder[01234][8736], and Noph[05297] shall have distresses[06862] daily[03119].
32:22 The young men[0970] of Aven[0206] and of Pibeseth[06364] shall fall[05307][8799] by the sword[02719]: and these cities shall go[03212][8799] into captivity[07628]. Aven: or, Heliopolis Pibeseth: or, Pubastum
32:23 At Tehaphnehes[08471] also the day[03117] shall be darkened[02821][8804][8676][02820][8804], when I shall break[07665][8800] there the yokes[04133] of Egypt[04714]: and the pomp[01347] of her strength[05797] shall cease[07673][8738] in her[01931]: as for her, a cloud[06051] shall cover[03680][8762] her, and her daughters[01323] shall go[03212][8799] into captivity[07628]. darkened: or, restrained

32:25 And it came to pass in the eleventh[0259][06240] year[08141], in the first[07223] month , in the seventh[07651] day of the month[02320], that the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
32:26 Son[01121] of man[0120], I have broken[07665][8804] the arm[02220] of Pharaoh[06547] king[04428] of Egypt[04714]; and, lo, it shall not be bound up[02280][8795] to be healed[07499][05414][8800], to put[07760][8800] a roller[02848] to bind[02280][8800] it, to make it strong[02388][8800] to hold[08610][8800] the sword[02719].
32:27 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Behold, I am against Pharaoh[06547] king[04428] of Egypt[04714], and will break[07665][8804] his arms[02220], the strong[02389], and that which was broken[07665][8737]; and I will cause the sword[02719] to fall[05307][8689] out of his hand[03027].
32:28 And I will scatter[06327][8689] the Egyptians[04714] among the nations[01471], and will disperse[02219][8765] them through the countries[0776].
32:29 And I will strengthen[02388][8765] the arms[02220] of the king[04428] of Babylon[0894], and put[05414][8804] my sword[02719] in his hand[03027]: but I will break[07665][8804] Pharaoh's[06547] arms[02220], and he shall groan[05008][8804] before[06440] him with the groanings[05009] of a deadly wounded[02491] man .
32:30 But I will strengthen[02388][8689] the arms[02220] of the king[04428] of Babylon[0894], and the arms[02220] of Pharaoh[06547] shall fall down[05307][8799]; and they shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068], when I shall put[05414][8800] my sword[02719] into the hand[03027] of the king[04428] of Babylon[0894], and he shall stretch it out[05186][8804] upon the land[0776] of Egypt[04714].
32:31 And I will scatter[06327][8689] the Egyptians[04714] among the nations[01471], and disperse[02219][8765] them among the countries[0776]; and they shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068].
32:32 And it came to pass in the eleventh[0259][06240] year[08141], in the third[07992] month , in the first[0259] day of the month[02320], that the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
33:1 Son[01121] of man[0120], speak[0559][8798] unto Pharaoh[06547] king[04428] of Egypt[04714], and to his multitude[01995]; Whom art thou like[01819][8804] in thy greatness[01433]?
33:2 Behold, the Assyrian[0804] was a cedar[0730] in Lebanon[03844] with fair[03303] branches[06057], and with a shadowing[06751][8688] shroud[02793], and of an high[01362] stature[06967]; and his top[06788] was among the thick boughs[05688]. with fair branches: Heb. fair of branches
33:3 The waters[04325] made him great[01431][8765], the deep[08415] set him up on high[07311][8790] with her rivers[05104] running[01980][8802] round about[05439] his plants[04302], and sent out[07971][8765] her little rivers[08585] unto all the trees[06086] of the field[07704]. made...: or, nourished him set...: or, brought him up little rivers: or, conduits
33:4 Therefore his height[06967] was exalted[01361][8804] above all the trees[06086] of the field[07704], and his boughs[05634] were multiplied[07235][8799], and his branches[06288] became long[0748][8799] because of the multitude[07227] of waters[04325], when he shot forth[07971][8763]. when...: or, when it sent them forth
33:5 All the fowls[05775] of heaven[08064] made their nests[07077][8765] in his boughs[05589], and under his branches[06288] did all the beasts[02416] of the field[07704] bring forth their young[03205][8804], and under his shadow[06738] dwelt[03427][8799] all great[07227] nations[01471].
33:6 Thus was he fair[03302][8799] in his greatness[01433], in the length[0753] of his branches[01808]: for his root[08328] was by great[07227] waters[04325].
33:7 The cedars[0730] in the garden[01588] of God[0430] could not hide[06004][8804] him: the fir trees[01265] were not like[01819][8804] his boughs[05589], and the chesnut trees[06196] were not like his branches[06288]; nor any tree[06086] in the garden[01588] of God[0430] was like[01819][8804] unto him in his beauty[03308].
33:8 I have made[06213][8804] him fair[03303] by the multitude[07230] of his branches[01808]: so that all the trees[06086] of Eden[05731], that were in the garden[01588] of God[0430], envied[07065][8762] him.
33:9 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Because thou hast lifted up[01361][8804] thyself in height[06967], and he hath shot up[05414][8799] his top[06788] among the thick boughs[05688], and his heart[03824] is lifted up[07311][8804] in his height[01363];
33:10 I have therefore delivered[05414][8799] him into the hand[03027] of the mighty one[0410] of the heathen[01471]; he shall surely[06213][8800] deal[06213][8799] with him: I have driven him out[01644][8765] for his wickedness[07562]. he...: Heb. in doing he shall do unto him
33:11 And strangers[02114][8801], the terrible[06184] of the nations[01471], have cut him off[03772][8799], and have left[05203][8799] him: upon the mountains[02022] and in all the valleys[01516] his branches[01808] are fallen[05307][8804], and his boughs[06288] are broken[07665][8735] by all the rivers[0650] of the land[0776]; and all the people[05971] of the earth[0776] are gone down[03381][8799] from his shadow[06738], and have left[05203][8799] him.
33:12 Upon his ruin[04658] shall all the fowls[05775] of the heaven[08064] remain[07931][8799], and all the beasts[02416] of the field[07704] shall be upon his branches[06288]:
33:13 To the end that none of all the trees[06086] by the waters[04325] exalt[01361][8799] themselves for their height[06967], neither shoot up[05414][8799] their top[06788] among the thick boughs[05688], neither their trees[0352] stand up[05975][8799] in their height[01363], all that drink[08354][8802] water[04325]: for they are all delivered[05414][8738] unto death[04194], to the nether parts[08482] of the earth[0776], in the midst[08432] of the children[01121] of men[0120], with them that go down[03381][8802] to the pit[0953]. their trees...: or, stand upon themselves for their height
33:14 Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; In the day[03117] when he went down[03381][8800] to the grave[07585] I caused a mourning[056][8689]: I covered[03680][8765] the deep[08415] for him, and I restrained[04513][8799] the floods[05104] thereof, and the great[07227] waters[04325] were stayed[03607][8735]: and I caused Lebanon[03844] to mourn[06937][8686] for him, and all the trees[06086] of the field[07704] fainted[05969] for him. to mourn: Heb. to be black
33:15 I made the nations[01471] to shake[07493][8689] at the sound[06963] of his fall[04658], when I cast him down[03381][8687] to hell[07585] with them that descend[03381][8802] into the pit[0953]: and all the trees[06086] of Eden[05731], the choice[04005] and best[02896] of Lebanon[03844], all that drink[08354][8802] water[04325], shall be comforted[05162][8735] in the nether parts[08482] of the earth[0776].
33:16 They also went down[03381][8804] into hell[07585] with him unto them that be slain[02491] with the sword[02719]; and they that were his arm[02220], that dwelt[03427][8804] under his shadow[06738] in the midst[08432] of the heathen[01471].
33:17 To whom art thou thus like[01819][8804] in glory[03519] and in greatness[01433] among the trees[06086] of Eden[05731]? yet shalt thou be brought down[03381][8717] with the trees[06086] of Eden[05731] unto the nether parts[08482] of the earth[0776]: thou shalt lie[07901][8799] in the midst[08432] of the uncircumcised[06189] with them that be slain[02491] by the sword[02719]. This is Pharaoh[06547] and all his multitude[01995], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
33:18 And it came to pass in the twelfth[08147][06240] year[08141], in the twelfth month[02320], in the first[0259] day of the month[02320], that the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
33:19 Son[01121] of man[0120], take up[05375][8798] a lamentation[07015] for Pharaoh[06547] king[04428] of Egypt[04714], and say[0559][8804] unto him, Thou art like[01819][8738] a young lion[03715] of the nations[01471], and thou art as a whale[08577][8676][08565] in the seas[03220]: and thou camest forth[01518][8799] with thy rivers[05104], and troubledst[01804][8799] the waters[04325] with thy feet[07272], and fouledst[07515][8799] their rivers[05104]. whale: or, dragon
33:20 Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; I will therefore spread out[06566][8804] my net[07568] over thee with a company[06951] of many[07227] people[05971]; and they shall bring thee up[05927][8689] in my net[02764].
33:21 Then will I leave[05203][8804] thee upon the land[0776], I will cast thee forth[02904][8686] upon the open[06440] field[07704], and will cause all the fowls[05775] of the heaven[08064] to remain[07931][8689] upon thee, and I will fill[07646][8689] the beasts[02416] of the whole earth[0776] with thee.
33:22 And I will lay[05414][8804] thy flesh[01320] upon the mountains[02022], and fill[04390][8765] the valleys[01516] with thy height[07419].
33:23 I will also water[08248][8689] with thy blood[01818] the land[0776] wherein thou swimmest[06824], even to the mountains[02022]; and the rivers[0650] shall be full[04390][8735] of thee. the land wherein...: or, the land of thy swimming
33:24 And when I shall put thee out[03518][8763], I will cover[03680][8765] the heaven[08064], and make[06937][00] the stars[03556] thereof dark[06937][8689]; I will cover[03680][8762] the sun[08121] with a cloud[06051], and the moon[03394] shall not give[0215][8686] her light[0216]. put...: or, extinguish thee
33:25 All the bright[03974] lights[0216] of heaven[08064] will I make dark[06937][8686] over thee, and set[05414][8804] darkness[02822] upon thy land[0776], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]. bright...: Heb. lights of the light in heaven dark: Heb. them dark
33:26 I will also vex[03707][8689] the hearts[03820] of many[07227] people[05971], when I shall bring[0935][8687] thy destruction[07667] among the nations[01471], into the countries[0776] which thou hast not known[03045][8804]. vex: Heb. provoke to anger, or, grief
33:27 Yea, I will make many[07227] people[05971] amazed[08074][8689] at thee, and their kings[04428] shall be horribly[08178] afraid[08175][8799] for thee, when I shall brandish[05774][8788] my sword[02719] before them[06440]; and they shall tremble[02729][8804] at every moment[07281], every man[0376] for his own life[05315], in the day[03117] of thy fall[04658].
33:28 For thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; The sword[02719] of the king[04428] of Babylon[0894] shall come[0935][8799] upon thee.
33:29 By the swords[02719] of the mighty[01368] will I cause thy multitude[01995] to fall[05307][8686], the terrible[06184] of the nations[01471], all of them: and they shall spoil[07703][8804] the pomp[01347] of Egypt[04714], and all the multitude[01995] thereof shall be destroyed[08045][8738].
33:30 I will destroy[06][8689] also all the beasts[0929] thereof from[05921] beside the great[07227] waters[04325]; neither shall the foot[07272] of man[0120] trouble[01804][8799] them any more, nor the hoofs[06541] of beasts[0929] trouble[01804][8799] them.
33:31 Then will I make their waters[04325] deep[08257][8686], and cause their rivers[05104] to run[03212][8686] like oil[08081], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
33:32 When I shall make[05414][8800] the land[0776] of Egypt[04714] desolate[08077], and the country[0776] shall be destitute[08074][8737] of that whereof it was full[04393], when I shall smite[05221][8687] all them that dwell[03427][8802] therein, then shall they know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068]. destitute...: Heb. desolate from the fulness thereof

34:1 It came to pass also in the twelfth[08147][06240] year[08141], in the fifteenth[02568][06240] day of the month[02320], that the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],

34:3 Whom dost thou pass in beauty[05276][8804]? go down[03381][8798], and be thou laid[07901][8713] with the uncircumcised[06189].
34:4 They shall fall[05307][8799] in the midst[08432] of them that are slain[02491] by the sword[02719]: she is delivered[05414][8738] to the sword[02719]: draw[04900][8798] her and all her multitudes[01995]. she...: or, the sword is laid
34:5 The strong[0410] among the mighty[01368] shall speak[01696][8762] to him out of the midst[08432] of hell[07585] with them that help[05826][8802] him: they are gone down[03381][8804], they lie[07901][8804] uncircumcised[06189], slain[02491] by the sword[02719].
34:6 Asshur[0804] is there and all her company[06951]: his graves[06913] are about[05439] him: all of them slain[02491], fallen[05307][8802] by the sword[02719]:
34:7 Whose graves[06913] are set[05414][8738] in the sides[03411] of the pit[0953], and her company[06951] is round about[05439] her grave[06900]: all of them slain[02491], fallen[05307][8802] by the sword[02719], which caused[05414][8804] terror[02851] in the land[0776] of the living[02416]. terror: or, dismaying
34:8 There is Elam[05867] and all her multitude[01995] round about[05439] her grave[06900], all of them slain[02491], fallen[05307][8802] by the sword[02719], which are gone down[03381][8804] uncircumcised[06189] into the nether parts[08482] of the earth[0776], which caused[05414][8804] their terror[02851] in the land[0776] of the living[02416]; yet have they borne[05375][8799] their shame[03639] with them that go down[03381][8802] to the pit[0953].
34:9 They have set[05414][8804] her a bed[04904] in the midst[08432] of the slain[02491] with all her multitude[01995]: her graves[06913] are round about[05439] him: all of them uncircumcised[06189], slain[02491] by the sword[02719]: though their terror[02851] was caused[05414][8737] in the land[0776] of the living[02416], yet have they borne[05375][8799] their shame[03639] with them that go down[03381][8802] to the pit[0953]: he is put[05414][8738] in the midst[08432] of them that be slain[02491].
34:10 There is Meshech[04902], Tubal[08422], and all her multitude[01995]: her graves[06913] are round about[05439] him: all of them uncircumcised[06189], slain[02490][8794] by the sword[02719], though they caused[05414][8804] their terror[02851] in the land[0776] of the living[02416].
34:11 And they shall not lie[07901][8799] with the mighty[01368] that are fallen[05307][8802] of the uncircumcised[06189], which are gone down[03381][8804] to hell[07585] with their weapons[03627] of war[04421]: and they have laid[05414][8799] their swords[02719] under their heads[07218], but their iniquities[05771] shall be upon their bones[06106], though they were the terror[02851] of the mighty[01368] in the land[0776] of the living[02416]. with their...: Heb. with weapons of their war
34:12 Yea, thou shalt be broken[07665][8735] in the midst[08432] of the uncircumcised[06189], and shalt lie[07901][8799] with them that are slain[02491] with the sword[02719].
34:13 There is Edom[0123], her kings[04428], and all her princes[05387], which with their might[01369] are laid[05414][8738] by them that were slain[02491] by the sword[02719]: they shall lie[07901][8799] with the uncircumcised[06189], and with them that go down[03381][8802] to the pit[0953]. laid: Heb. given, or, put
34:14 There be the princes[05257] of the north[06828], all of them, and all the Zidonians[06722], which are gone down[03381][8804] with the slain[02491]; with their terror[02851] they are ashamed[0954][8802] of their might[01369]; and they lie[07901][8799] uncircumcised[06189] with them that be slain[02491] by the sword[02719], and bear[05375][8799] their shame[03639] with them that go down[03381][8802] to the pit[0953].
34:15 Pharaoh[06547] shall see[07200][8799] them, and shall be comforted[05162][8738] over all his multitude[01995], even Pharaoh[06547] and all his army[02428] slain[02491] by the sword[02719], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
34:16 For I have caused[05414][8804] my terror[02851] in the land[0776] of the living[02416]: and he shall be laid[07901][8717] in the midst[08432] of the uncircumcised[06189] with them that are slain[02491] with the sword[02719], even Pharaoh[06547] and all his multitude[01995], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
34:17 Again the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
34:18 Son[01121] of man[0120], speak[01696][8761] to the children[01121] of thy people[05971], and say[0559][8804] unto them, When I bring[0935][8686] the sword[02719] upon a land[0776], if the people[05971] of the land[0776] take[03947][8804] a[0259] man[0376] of their coasts[07097], and set[05414][8804] him for their watchman[06822][8802]: When...: Heb. A land when I bring a sword upon her
34:19 If when he seeth[07200][8804] the sword[02719] come[0935][8802] upon the land[0776], he blow[08628][8804] the trumpet[07782], and warn[02094][8689] the people[05971];
34:20 Then whosoever[08085][8802] heareth[08085][8804] the sound[06963] of the trumpet[07782], and taketh not warning[02094][8737]; if the sword[02719] come[0935][8799], and take him away[03947][8799], his blood[01818] shall be upon his own head[07218]. whosoever...: Heb. he that hearing heareth
34:21 He heard[08085][8804] the sound[06963] of the trumpet[07782], and took not warning[02094][8737]; his blood[01818] shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning[02094][8737] shall deliver[04422][8765] his soul[05315].
34:22 But if the watchman[06822][8802] see[07200][8799] the sword[02719] come[0935][8802], and blow[08628][8804] not the trumpet[07782], and the people[05971] be not warned[02094][8737]; if the sword[02719] come[0935][8799], and take[03947][8799] any person[05315] from among them, he is taken away[03947][8738] in his iniquity[05771]; but his blood[01818] will I require[01875][8799] at the watchman's[06822][8802] hand[03027].
34:23 So thou, O son[01121] of man[0120], I have set[05414][8804] thee a watchman[06822][8802] unto the house[01004] of Israel[03478]; therefore thou shalt hear[08085][8804] the word[01697] at my mouth[06310], and warn[02094][8689] them from me.
34:24 When I say[0559][8800] unto the wicked[07563], O wicked[07563] man , thou shalt surely[04191][8800] die[04191][8799]; if thou dost not speak[01696][8765] to warn[02094][8687] the wicked[07563] from his way[01870], that wicked[07563] man shall die[04191][8799] in his iniquity[05771]; but his blood[01818] will I require[01245][8762] at thine hand[03027].
34:25 Nevertheless, if thou warn[02094][8689] the wicked[07563] of his way[01870] to turn[07725][8800] from it; if he do not turn[07725][8804] from his way[01870], he shall die[04191][8799] in his iniquity[05771]; but thou hast delivered[05337][8689] thy soul[05315].
34:26 Therefore, O thou son[01121] of man[0120], speak[0559][8798] unto the house[01004] of Israel[03478]; Thus ye speak[0559][8804], saying[0559][8800], If our transgressions[06588] and our sins[02403] be upon us, and we pine away[04743][8737] in them, how should we then live[02421][8799]?
34:27 Say[0559][8798] unto them, As I live[02416], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], I have no pleasure[02654][8799] in the death[04194] of the wicked[07563]; but that the wicked[07563] turn[07725][8800] from his way[01870] and live[02421][8804]: turn[07725][8798] ye, turn[07725][8798] ye from your evil[07451] ways[01870]; for why will ye die[04191][8799], O house[01004] of Israel[03478]?
34:28 Therefore, thou son[01121] of man[0120], say[0559][8798] unto the children[01121] of thy people[05971], The righteousness[06666] of the righteous[06662] shall not deliver[05337][8686] him in the day[03117] of his transgression[06588]: as for the wickedness[07564] of the wicked[07563], he shall not fall[03782][8735] thereby in the day[03117] that he turneth[07725][8800] from his wickedness[07562]; neither shall the righteous[06662] be able[03201][8799] to live[02421][8800] for his righteousness in the day[03117] that he sinneth[02398][8800].
34:29 When I shall say[0559][8800] to the righteous[06662], that he shall surely[02421][8800] live[02421][8799]; if he trust[0982][8804] to his own righteousness[06666], and commit[06213][8804] iniquity[05766], all his righteousnesses[06666] shall not be remembered[02142][8735]; but for his iniquity[05766] that he hath committed[06213][8804], he shall die[04191][8799] for it.
34:30 Again, when I say[0559][8800] unto the wicked[07563], Thou shalt surely[04191][8800] die[04191][8799]; if he turn[07725][8804] from his sin[02403], and do[06213][8804] that which is lawful[04941] and right[06666]; that...: Heb. judgment and justice
34:31 If the wicked[07563] restore[07725][8686] the pledge[02258], give again[07999][8762] that he had robbed[01500], walk[01980][8804] in the statutes[02708] of life[02416], without committing[06213][8800] iniquity[05766]; he shall surely[02421][8800] live[02421][8799], he shall not die[04191][8799].
35:1 None of his sins[02403] that he hath committed[02398][8804] shall be mentioned[02142][8735] unto him: he hath done[06213][8804] that which is lawful[04941] and right[06666]; he shall surely[02421][8800] live[02421][8799].
35:2 Yet the children[01121] of thy people[05971] say[0559][8804], The way[01870] of the Lord[0136] is not equal[08505][8735]: but as for them, their way[01870] is not equal[08505][8735].
35:3 When the righteous[06662] turneth[07725][8800] from his righteousness[06666], and committeth[06213][8804] iniquity[05766], he shall even die[04191][8804] thereby.
35:4 But if the wicked[07563] turn[07725][8800] from his wickedness[07564], and do[06213][8804] that which is lawful[04941] and right[06666], he shall live[02421][8799] thereby.
35:5 Yet ye say[0559][8804], The way[01870] of the Lord[0136] is not equal[08505][8735]. O ye house[01004] of Israel[03478], I will judge[08199][8799] you every one[0376] after his ways[01870].
35:6 And it came to pass in the twelfth[08147][06240] year[08141] of our captivity[01546], in the tenth[06224] month , in the fifth[02568] day of the month[02320], that  one that had escaped[06412] out of Jerusalem[03389] came[0935][8804] unto me, saying[0559][8800], The city[05892] is smitten[05221][8717].
35:7 Now the hand[03027] of the LORD[03068] was upon me in the evening[06153], afore[06440] he that was escaped[06412] came[0935][8800]; and had opened[06605][8799] my mouth[06310], until he came[0935][8800] to me in the morning[01242]; and my mouth[06310] was opened[06605][8735], and I was no more dumb[0481][8738].
35:8 Then the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
35:9 Son[01121] of man[0120], they that inhabit[03427][8802] those wastes[02723] of the land[0127] of Israel[03478] speak[0559][8802], saying[0559][8800], Abraham[085] was one[0259], and he inherited[03423][8799] the land[0776]: but we are many[07227]; the land[0776] is given[05414][8738] us for inheritance[04181].
35:10 Wherefore say[0559][8798] unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Ye eat[0398][8799] with the blood[01818], and lift up[05375][8799] your eyes[05869] toward your idols[01544], and shed[08210][8799] blood[01818]: and shall ye possess[03423][8799] the land[0776]?
35:11 Ye stand[05975][8804] upon your sword[02719], ye work[06213][8804] abomination[08441], and ye defile[02930][8765] every one[0376] his neighbour's[07453] wife[0802]: and shall ye possess[03423][8799] the land[0776]?
35:12 Say[0559][8799] thou thus unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; As I live[02416], surely they that are in the wastes[02723] shall fall[05307][8799] by the sword[02719], and him that  is in the open[06440] field[07704] will I give[05414][8804] to the beasts[02416] to be devoured[0398][8800], and they that be in the forts[04679] and in the caves[04631] shall die[04191][8799] of the pestilence[01698]. to be...: Heb. to devour him
35:13 For I will lay[05414][8804] the land[0776] most[04923] desolate[08077], and the pomp[01347] of her strength[05797] shall cease[07673][8738]; and the mountains[02022] of Israel[03478] shall be desolate[08074][8804], that none shall pass through[05674][8802]. most...: Heb. desolation and desolation
35:14 Then shall they know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068], when I have laid[05414][8800] the land[0776] most[04923] desolate[08077] because of all their abominations[08441] which they have committed[06213][8804].
35:15 Also, thou son[01121] of man[0120], the children[01121] of thy people[05971] still are talking[01696][8737] against[0681] thee by the walls[07023] and in the doors[06607] of the houses[01004], and speak[01696][8765] one[02297] to another[0259], every one[0376] to his brother[0251], saying[0559][8800], Come[0935][8798], I pray you, and hear[08085][8798] what is the word[01697] that cometh forth[03318][8802] from the LORD[03068]. against thee: of, of thee
36:1 And they come[0935][8799] unto thee as the people[05971] cometh[03996], and they sit[03427][8799] before[06440] thee as my people[05971], and they hear[08085][8804] thy words[01697], but they will not do[06213][8799] them: for with their mouth[06310] they shew[06213][8802] much love[05690], but their heart[03820] goeth[01980][8802] after[0310] their covetousness[01215]. as the...: Heb. according to the coming of the people they sit...: or, my people sit before thee they shew...: Heb. they make loves, or, jests
36:2 And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely[05690] song[07892] of one that hath a pleasant[03303] voice[06963], and can play well[02895][8688] on an instrument[05059][8763]: for they hear[08085][8804] thy words[01697], but they do[06213][8802] them not. a very...: Heb. a song of loves
36:3 And when this cometh to pass[0935][8800], (lo, it will come[0935][8802],) then shall they know[03045][8804] that a prophet[05030] hath been among[08432] them.
36:4 And the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
36:5 Son[01121] of man[0120], prophesy[05012][8734] against the shepherds[07462][8802] of Israel[03478], prophesy[05012][8734], and say[0559][8804] unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069] unto the shepherds[07462][8802]; Woe[01945] be to the shepherds[07462][8802] of Israel[03478] that do feed[07462][8802] themselves! should not the shepherds[07462][8802] feed[07462][8799] the flocks[06629]?
36:6 Ye eat[0398][8799] the fat[02459], and ye clothe[03847][8799] you with the wool[06785], ye kill[02076][8799] them that are fed[01277]: but ye feed[07462][8799] not the flock[06629].
36:7 The diseased[02470][8737] have ye not strengthened[02388][8765], neither have ye healed[07495][8765] that which was sick[02470][8802], neither have ye bound up[02280][8804] that which was broken[07665][8737], neither have ye brought again[07725][8689] that which was driven away[05080][8737], neither have ye sought[01245][8765] that which was lost[06][8802]; but with force[02394] and with cruelty[06531] have ye ruled[07287][8804] them.
36:8 And they were scattered[06327][8799], because there is no shepherd[07462][8802]: and they became meat[0402] to all the beasts[02416] of the field[07704], when they were scattered[06327][8799]. because...: or, without a shepherd
36:9 My sheep[06629] wandered[07686][8799] through all the mountains[02022], and upon every high[07311][8802] hill[01389]: yea, my flock[06629] was scattered[06327][8738] upon all the face[06440] of the earth[0776], and none did search[01875][8802] or seek[01245][8764] after them .
36:10 Therefore, ye shepherds[07462][8802], hear[08085][8798] the word[01697] of the LORD[03068];
36:11 As I live[02416], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], surely because my flock[06629] became a prey[0957], and my flock[06629] became meat[0402] to every beast[02416] of the field[07704], because there was no shepherd[07462][8802], neither did my shepherds[07462][8802] search[01875][8804] for my flock[06629], but the shepherds[07462][8802] fed[07462][8799] themselves, and fed[07462][8804] not my flock[06629]; because...: or, without a shepherd
36:12 Therefore, O ye shepherds[07462][8802], hear[08085][8798] the word[01697] of the LORD[03068];
36:13 Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Behold, I am against the shepherds[07462][8802]; and I will require[01875][8804] my flock[06629] at their hand[03027], and cause them to cease[07673][8689] from feeding[07462][8800] the flock[06629]; neither shall the shepherds[07462][8802] feed[07462][8799] themselves any more; for I will deliver[05337][8689] my flock[06629] from their mouth[06310], that they may not be meat[0402] for them.
36:14 For thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Behold, I, even I, will both search[01875][8804] my sheep[06629], and seek them out[01239][8765].
36:15 As a shepherd[07462][8802] seeketh out[01243] his flock[05739] in the day[03117] that he is among[08432] his sheep[06629] that are scattered[06567][8737]; so will I seek out[01239][8762] my sheep[06629], and will deliver[05337][8689] them out of all places[04725] where they have been scattered[06327][8738] in the cloudy[06051] and dark[06205] day[03117]. As...: Heb. According to the seeking
36:16 And I will bring them out[03318][8689] from the people[05971], and gather[06908][8765] them from the countries[0776], and will bring[0935][8689] them to their own land[0127], and feed[07462][8804] them upon the mountains[02022] of Israel[03478] by the rivers[0650], and in all the inhabited places[04186] of the country[0776].
36:17 I will feed[07462][8799] them in a good[02896] pasture[04829], and upon the high[04791] mountains[02022] of Israel[03478] shall their fold[05116] be: there shall they lie[07257][8799] in a good[02896] fold[05116], and  in a fat[08082] pasture[04829] shall they feed[07462][8799] upon the mountains[02022] of Israel[03478].
36:18 I will feed[07462][8799] my flock[06629], and I will cause them to lie down[07257][8686], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
36:19 I will seek[01245][8762] that which was lost[06][8802], and bring again[07725][8686] that which was driven away[05080][8737], and will bind up[02280][8799] that which was broken[07665][8737], and will strengthen[02388][8762] that which was sick[02470][8802]: but I will destroy[08045][8686] the fat[08082] and the strong[02389]; I will feed[07462][8799] them with judgment[04941].
36:20 And as for you[0859], O my flock[06629], thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Behold, I judge[08199][8802] between cattle[07716] and cattle[07716], between the rams[0352] and the he goats[06260]. cattle: Heb. small cattle of lambs and kids he goats: Heb. great he goats
36:21 Seemeth it a small thing[04592] unto you to have eaten up[07462][8799] the good[02896] pasture[04829], but ye must tread down[07429][8799] with your feet[07272] the residue[03499] of your pastures[04829]? and to have drunk[08354][8799] of the deep[04950] waters[04325], but ye must foul[07515][8799] the residue[03498][8737] with your feet[07272]?
36:22 And as for my flock[06629], they eat[07462][8799] that which ye have trodden[04823] with your feet[07272]; and they drink[08354][8799] that which ye have fouled[04833] with your feet[07272].
36:23 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069] unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge[08199][8804] between the fat[01274] cattle[07716] and between the lean[07330] cattle[07716].
36:24 Because ye have thrust[01920][8799] with side[06654] and with shoulder[03802], and pushed[05055][8762] all the diseased[02470][8737] with your horns[07161], till ye have scattered[06327][8689] them abroad[02351];
36:25 Therefore will I save[03467][8689] my flock[06629], and they shall no more be a prey[0957]; and I will judge[08199][8804] between cattle[07716] and cattle[07716].
36:26 And I will set up[06965][8689] one[0259] shepherd[07462][8802] over them, and he shall feed[07462][8804] them, even my servant[05650] David[01732]; he shall feed[07462][8799] them, and he shall be their shepherd[07462][8802].
36:27 And I the LORD[03068] will be their God[0430], and my servant[05650] David[01732] a prince[05387] among[08432] them; I the LORD[03068] have spoken[01696][8765] it .
36:28 And I will make[03772][8804] with them a covenant[01285] of peace[07965], and will cause the evil[07451] beasts[02416] to cease[07673][8689] out of the land[0776]: and they shall dwell[03427][8804] safely[0983] in the wilderness[04057], and sleep[03462][8804] in the woods[03293][8675][03264].
36:29 And I will make[05414][8804] them and the places round about[05439] my hill[01389] a blessing[01293]; and I will cause the shower[01653] to come down[03381][8689] in his season[06256]; there shall be showers[01653] of blessing[01293].
36:30 And the tree[06086] of the field[07704] shall yield[05414][8804] her fruit[06529], and the earth[0776] shall yield[05414][8799] her increase[02981], and they shall be safe[0983] in their land[0127], and shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068], when I have broken[07665][8800] the bands[04133] of their yoke[05923], and delivered[05337][8689] them out of the hand[03027] of those that served[05647][8802] themselves of them.
36:31 And they shall no more be a prey[0957] to the heathen[01471], neither shall the beast[02416] of the land[0776] devour[0398][8799] them; but they shall dwell[03427][8804] safely[0983], and none shall make them afraid[02729][8688].
36:32 And I will raise up[06965][8689] for them a plant[04302] of renown[08034], and they shall be no more consumed[0622][8803] with hunger[07458] in the land[0776], neither bear[05375][8799] the shame[03639] of the heathen[01471] any more. of renown: or, for renown consumed: Heb. taken away
36:33 Thus shall they know[03045][8804] that I the LORD[03068] their God[0430] am with them, and that they, even the house[01004] of Israel[03478], are my people[05971], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
36:34 And ye[0859] my flock[06629], the flock[06629] of my pasture[04830], are men[0120], and I am your God[0430], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
36:35 Moreover the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
36:36 Son[01121] of man[0120], set[07760][8798] thy face[06440] against mount[02022] Seir[08165], and prophesy[05012][8734] against it,
36:37 And say[0559][8804] unto it, Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Behold, O mount[02022] Seir[08165], I am against thee, and I will stretch out[05186][8804] mine hand[03027] against thee, and I will make[05414][8804] thee most[04923] desolate[08077]. most...: Heb. desolation and desolation
36:38 I will lay[07760][8799] thy cities[05892] waste[02723], and thou shalt be desolate[08077], and thou shalt know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068].
37:1 Because thou hast had a perpetual[05769] hatred[0342], and hast shed[05064][8686] the blood of the children[01121] of Israel[03478] by the force[03027] of the sword[02719] in the time[06256] of their calamity[0343], in the time[06256] that their iniquity[05771] had an end[07093]: perpetual...: or, hatred of old shed...: Heb. poured out the children force: Heb. hands
37:2 Therefore, as I live[02416], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], I will prepare[06213][8799] thee unto blood[01818], and blood[01818] shall pursue[07291][8799] thee: sith[0518] thou hast not hated[08130][8804] blood[01818], even blood[01818] shall pursue[07291][8799] thee.
37:3 Thus will I make[05414][8804] mount[02022] Seir[08165] most[08077] desolate[08077], and cut off[03772][8689] from it him that passeth out[05674][8802] and him that returneth[07725][8802]. most...: Heb. desolation and desolation
37:4 And I will fill[04390][8765] his mountains[02022] with his slain[02491] men : in thy hills[01389], and in thy valleys[01516], and in all thy rivers[0650], shall they fall[05307][8799] that are slain[02491] with the sword[02719].
37:5 I will make[05414][8799] thee perpetual[05769] desolations[08077], and thy cities[05892] shall not return[07725][8799][8675][03427][8799]: and ye shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068].
37:6 Because thou hast said[0559][8800], These two[08147] nations[01471] and these two[08147] countries[0776] shall be mine, and we will possess[03423][8804] it; whereas the LORD[03068] was there: whereas...: or, though the LORD was there
37:7 Therefore, as I live[02416], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], I will even do[06213][8804] according to thine anger[0639], and according to thine envy[07068] which thou hast used[06213][8804] out of thy hatred[08135] against them; and I will make myself known[03045][8738] among them, when I have judged[08199][8799] thee.
37:8 And thou shalt know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068], and that I have heard[08085][8804] all thy blasphemies[05007] which thou hast spoken[0559][8804] against the mountains[02022] of Israel[03478], saying[0559][8800], They are laid desolate[08074][8804][8675][08077], they are given[05414][8738] us to consume[0402]. to consume: Heb. to devour
37:9 Thus with your mouth[06310] ye have boasted[01431][8686] against me, and have multiplied[06280][8689] your words[01697] against me: I have heard[08085][8804] them . boasted: Heb. magnified
37:10 Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; When the whole earth[0776] rejoiceth[08055][8800], I will make[06213][8799] thee desolate[08077].
37:11 As thou didst rejoice[08057] at the inheritance[05159] of the house[01004] of Israel[03478], because it was desolate[08074][8804], so will I do[06213][8799] unto thee: thou shalt be desolate[08077], O mount[02022] Seir[08165], and all Idumea[0123], even all of it: and they shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068].
37:12 Also, thou son[01121] of man[0120], prophesy[05012][8734] unto the mountains[02022] of Israel[03478], and say[0559][8804], Ye mountains[02022] of Israel[03478], hear[08085][8798] the word[01697] of the LORD[03068]:
37:13 Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Because the enemy[0341][8802] hath said[0559][8804] against you, Aha[01889], even the ancient[05769] high places[01116] are ours in possession[04181]:
37:14 Therefore prophesy[05012][8734] and say[0559][8804], Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Because they have made you desolate[08074][8800], and swallowed you up[07602][8800] on every side[05439], that ye might be a possession[04181] unto the residue[07611] of the heathen[01471], and ye are taken up[05927][8735] in the lips[08193] of talkers[03956], and are an infamy[01681] of the people[05971]: Because: Heb. Because for because are...: or, ye are made to come up on the lip of the tongue
37:15 Therefore, ye mountains[02022] of Israel[03478], hear[08085][8798] the word[01697] of the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069] to the mountains[02022], and to the hills[01389], to the rivers[0650], and to the valleys[01516], to the desolate[08074][8802] wastes[02723], and to the cities[05892] that are forsaken[05800][8737], which became a prey[0957] and derision[03933] to the residue[07611] of the heathen[01471] that  are round about[05439]; rivers: or, bottoms, or, dales
37:16 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Surely in the fire[0784] of my jealousy[07068] have I spoken[01696][8765] against the residue[07611] of the heathen[01471], and against all Idumea[0123], which have appointed[05414][8804] my land[0776] into their possession[04181] with the joy[08057] of all their heart[03824], with despiteful[07589] minds[05315], to cast it out[04054] for a prey[0957].
37:17 Prophesy[05012][8734] therefore concerning the land[0127] of Israel[03478], and say[0559][8804] unto the mountains[02022], and to the hills[01389], to the rivers[0650], and to the valleys[01516], Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Behold, I have spoken[01696][8765] in my jealousy[07068] and in my fury[02534], because ye have borne[05375][8804] the shame[03639] of the heathen[01471]:
37:18 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; I have lifted up[05375][8804] mine hand[03027], Surely the heathen[01471] that are about[05439] you, they shall bear[05375][8799] their shame[03639].
37:19 But ye, O mountains[02022] of Israel[03478], ye shall shoot forth[05414][8799] your branches[06057], and yield[05375][8799] your fruit[06529] to my people[05971] of Israel[03478]; for they are at hand[07126][8765] to come[0935][8800].
37:20 For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn[06437][8804] unto you, and ye shall be tilled[05647][8738] and sown[02232][8738]:
37:21 And I will multiply[07235][8689] men[0120] upon you, all the house[01004] of Israel[03478], even all of it: and the cities[05892] shall be inhabited[03427][8738], and the wastes[02723] shall be builded[01129][8735]:
37:22 And I will multiply[07235][8689] upon you man[0120] and beast[0929]; and they shall increase[07235][8804] and bring fruit[06509][8804]: and I will settle[03427][8689] you after your old estates[06927], and will do better[02895][8689] unto you than at your beginnings[07221]: and ye shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068].
37:23 Yea, I will cause men[0120] to walk[03212][8689] upon you, even my people[05971] Israel[03478]; and they shall possess[03423][8804] thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance[05159], and thou shalt no more[03254][8686] henceforth bereave[07921][8763] them of men .
37:24 Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Because they say[0559][8802] unto you, Thou land devourest up[0398][8802] men[0120], and hast bereaved[07921][8764] thy nations[01471];
37:25 Therefore thou shalt devour[0398][8799] men[0120] no more, neither bereave[07921][8762][03782][8762] thy nations[01471] any more, saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]. bereave: or, cause to fall
37:26 Neither will I cause men to hear[08085][8686] in thee the shame[03639] of the heathen[01471] any more, neither shalt thou bear[05375][8799] the reproach[02781] of the people[05971] any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations[01471] to fall[03782][8686] any more, saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069].
37:27 Moreover the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
37:28 Son[01121] of man[0120], when the house[01004] of Israel[03478] dwelt[03427][8802] in their own land[0127], they defiled[02930][8762] it by their own way[01870] and by their doings[05949]: their way[01870] was before[06440] me as the uncleanness[02932] of a removed woman[05079].
38:1 Wherefore I poured[08210][8799] my fury[02534] upon them for the blood[01818] that they had shed[08210][8804] upon the land[0776], and for their idols[01544] wherewith they had polluted[02930][8765] it:
38:2 And I scattered[06327][8686] them among the heathen[01471], and they were dispersed[02219][8735] through the countries[0776]: according to their way[01870] and according to their doings[05949] I judged[08199][8804] them.
38:3 And when they entered[0935][8799] unto the heathen[01471], whither they went[0935][8804], they profaned[02490][8762] my holy[06944] name[08034], when they said[0559][8800] to them, These are the people[05971] of the LORD[03068], and are gone forth[03318][8804] out of his land[0776].
38:4 But I had pity[02550][8799] for mine holy[06944] name[08034], which the house[01004] of Israel[03478] had profaned[02490][8765] among the heathen[01471], whither they went[0935][8804].
38:5 Therefore say[0559][8798] unto the house[01004] of Israel[03478], Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; I do[06213][8802] not this for your sakes, O house[01004] of Israel[03478], but for mine holy[06944] name's[08034] sake, which ye have profaned[02490][8765] among the heathen[01471], whither ye went[0935][8804].
38:6 And I will sanctify[06942][8765] my great[01419] name[08034], which was profaned[02490][8794] among the heathen[01471], which ye have profaned[02490][8765] in the midst[08432] of them; and the heathen[01471] shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], when I shall be sanctified[06942][8736] in you before their eyes[05869]. their: or, your
38:7 For I will take[03947][8804] you from among[04480] the heathen[01471], and gather[06908][8765] you out of all countries[0776], and will bring[0935][8689] you into your own land[0127].
38:8 Then will I sprinkle[02236][8804] clean[02889] water[04325] upon you, and ye shall be clean[02891][8804]: from all your filthiness[02932], and from all your idols[01544], will I cleanse[02891][8762] you.
38:9 A new[02319] heart[03820] also will I give[05414][8804] you, and a new[02319] spirit[07307] will I put[05414][8799] within[07130] you: and I will take away[05493][8689] the stony[068] heart[03820] out of your flesh[01320], and I will give[05414][8804] you an heart[03820] of flesh[01320].
38:10 And I will put[05414][8799] my spirit[07307] within[07130] you, and cause[06213][8804] you to walk[03212][8799] in my statutes[02706], and ye shall keep[08104][8799] my judgments[04941], and do[06213][8804] them .
38:11 And ye shall dwell[03427][8804] in the land[0776] that I gave[05414][8804] to your fathers[01]; and ye shall be my people[05971], and I will be your God[0430].
38:12 I will also save[03467][8689] you from all your uncleannesses[02932]: and I will call[07121][8804] for the corn[01715], and will increase[07235][8689] it, and lay[05414][8799] no famine[07458] upon you.
38:13 And I will multiply[07235][8689] the fruit[06529] of the tree[06086], and the increase[08570] of the field[07704], that ye shall receive[03947][8799] no more reproach[02781] of famine[07458] among the heathen[01471].
38:14 Then shall ye remember[02142][8804] your own evil[07451] ways[01870], and your doings[04611] that were not good[02896], and shall lothe[06962][8738] yourselves in your own sight[06440] for your iniquities[05771] and for your abominations[08441].
38:15 Not for your sakes do[06213][8802] I this , saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], be it known[03045][8735] unto you: be ashamed[0954][8798] and confounded[03637][8734] for your own ways[01870], O house[01004] of Israel[03478].
38:16 Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; In the day[03117] that I shall have cleansed[02891][8763] you from all your iniquities[05771] I will also cause you to dwell[03427][8689] in the cities[05892], and the wastes[02723] shall be builded[01129][8738].
38:17 And the desolate[08074][8737] land[0776] shall be tilled[05647][8735], whereas it lay desolate[08077] in the sight[05869] of all that passed by[05674][8802].
38:18 And they shall say[0559][8804], This[01977] land[0776] that was desolate[08074][8737] is become like the garden[01588] of Eden[05731]; and the waste[02720] and desolate[08074][8737] and ruined[02040][8737] cities[05892] are become fenced[01219][8803], and are inhabited[03427][8804].
38:19 Then the heathen[01471] that are left[07604][8735] round about[05439] you shall know[03045][8804] that I the LORD[03068] build[01129][8804] the ruined[02040][8737] places, and  plant[05193][8804] that that was desolate[08074][8737]: I the LORD[03068] have spoken[01696][8765] it , and I will do[06213][8804] it .
38:20 Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; I will yet for this be enquired[01875][8735] of by the house[01004] of Israel[03478], to do[06213][8800] it for them; I will increase[07235][8686] them with men[0120] like a flock[06629].
38:21 As the holy[06944] flock[06629], as the flock[06629] of Jerusalem[03389] in her solemn feasts[04150]; so shall the waste[02720] cities[05892] be filled[04392] with flocks[06629] of men[0120]: and they shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068]. holy...: Heb. flock of holy things
38:22 The hand[03027] of the LORD[03068] was upon me, and carried me out[03318][8686] in the spirit[07307] of the LORD[03068], and set me down[05117][8686] in the midst[08432] of the valley[01237] which was full[04392] of bones[06106],
38:23 And caused me to pass[05674][8689] by them round about[05439]: and, behold, there were very[03966] many[07227] in the open[06440] valley[01237]; and, lo, they were very[03966] dry[03002]. valley: or, champaign
39:1 And he said[0559][8799] unto me, Son[01121] of man[0120], can these bones[06106] live[02421][8799]? And I answered[0559][8799], O Lord[0136] GOD[03069], thou knowest[03045][8804].
39:2 Again he said[0559][8799] unto me, Prophesy[05012][8734] upon these bones[06106], and say[0559][8804] unto them, O ye dry[03002] bones[06106], hear[08085][8798] the word[01697] of the LORD[03068].
39:3 Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069] unto these bones[06106]; Behold, I will cause breath[07307] to enter[0935][8688] into you, and ye shall live[02421][8804]:
39:4 And I will lay[05414][8804] sinews[01517] upon you, and will bring up[05927][8689] flesh[01320] upon you, and cover[07159][8804] you with skin[05785], and put[05414][8804] breath[07307] in you, and ye shall live[02421][8804]; and ye shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068].
39:5 So I prophesied[05012][8738] as I was commanded[06680][8795]: and as I prophesied[05012][8736], there was a noise[06963], and behold a shaking[07494], and the bones[06106] came together[07126][8799], bone[06106] to his bone[06106].
39:6 And when I beheld[07200][8804], lo, the sinews[01517] and the flesh[01320] came up[05927][8804] upon them, and the skin[05785] covered[07159][8799] them above[04605]: but there was no breath[07307] in them.
39:7 Then said[0559][8799] he unto me, Prophesy[05012][8734] unto the wind[07307], prophesy[05012][8734], son[01121] of man[0120], and say[0559][8804] to the wind[07307], Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Come[0935][8798] from the four[0702] winds[07307], O breath[07307], and breathe[05301][8798] upon these slain[02026][8803], that they may live[02421][8799]. wind: or, breath
39:8 So I prophesied[05012][8694] as he commanded[06680][8765] me, and the breath[07307] came[0935][8799] into them, and they lived[02421][8799], and stood up[05975][8799] upon their feet[07272], an exceeding[03966][03966] great[01419] army[02428].
39:9 Then he said[0559][8799] unto me, Son[01121] of man[0120], these bones[06106] are the whole house[01004] of Israel[03478]: behold, they say[0559][8802], Our bones[06106] are dried[03001][8804], and our hope[08615] is lost[06][8804]: we are cut off[01504][8738] for our parts.
39:10 Therefore prophesy[05012][8734] and say[0559][8804] unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Behold, O my people[05971], I will open[06605][8802] your graves[06913], and cause you to come up[05927][8689] out of your graves[06913], and bring[0935][8689] you into the land[0127] of Israel[03478].
39:11 And ye shall know[03045][8804] that I am the LORD[03068], when I have opened[06605][8800] your graves[06913], O my people[05971], and brought you up[05927][8687] out of your graves[06913],
39:12 And shall put[05414][8804] my spirit[07307] in you, and ye shall live[02421][8804], and I shall place[03240][8689] you in your own land[0127]: then shall ye know[03045][8804] that I the LORD[03068] have spoken[01696][8765] it , and performed[06213][8804] it , saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
39:13 The word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came again unto me, saying[0559][8800],
39:14 Moreover, thou son[01121] of man[0120], take[03947][8798] thee one[0259] stick[06086], and write[03789][8798] upon it, For Judah[03063], and for the children[01121] of Israel[03478] his companions[02270]: then take[03947][8798] another[0259] stick[06086], and write[03789][8798] upon it, For Joseph[03130], the stick[06086] of Ephraim[0669], and for all the house[01004] of Israel[03478] his companions[02270]:
39:15 And join[07126][8761] them one[0259] to another[0259] into one[0259] stick[06086]; and they shall become one[0259] in thine hand[03027].
39:16 And when the children[01121] of thy people[05971] shall speak[0559][8799] unto thee, saying[0559][8800], Wilt thou not shew[05046][8686] us what thou meanest by these?
39:17 Say[01696][8761] unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Behold, I will take[03947][8802] the stick[06086] of Joseph[03130], which is in the hand[03027] of Ephraim[0669], and the tribes[07626] of Israel[03478] his fellows[02270], and will put[05414][8804] them with him, even with the stick[06086] of Judah[03063], and make[06213][8804] them one[0259] stick[06086], and they shall be one[0259] in mine hand[03027].
39:18 And the sticks[06086] whereon thou writest[03789][8799] shall be in thine hand[03027] before their eyes[05869].
39:19 And say[01696][8761] unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Behold, I will take[03947][8802] the children[01121] of Israel[03478] from among[0996] the heathen[01471], whither they be gone[01980][8804], and will gather[06908][8765] them on every side[05439], and bring[0935][8689] them into their own land[0127]:
39:20 And I will make[06213][8804] them one[0259] nation[01471] in the land[0776] upon the mountains[02022] of Israel[03478]; and one[0259] king[04428] shall be king[04428] to them all: and they shall be[05750] no more two[08147] nations[01471], neither shall they be divided[02673][8735] into two[08147] kingdoms[04467] any more at all:
39:21 Neither shall they defile[02930][8691] themselves any more with their idols[01544], nor with their detestable things[08251], nor with any of their transgressions[06588]: but I will save[03467][8689] them out of all their dwellingplaces[04186], wherein they have sinned[02398][8804], and will cleanse[02891][8765] them: so shall they be my people[05971], and I will be their God[0430].
39:22 And David[01732] my servant[05650] shall be king[04428] over them; and they all shall have one[0259] shepherd[07462][8802]: they shall also walk[03212][8799] in my judgments[04941], and observe[08104][8799] my statutes[02708], and do[06213][8804] them.
39:23 And they shall dwell[03427][8804] in the land[0776] that I have given[05414][8804] unto Jacob[03290] my servant[05650], wherein your fathers[01] have dwelt[03427][8804]; and they shall dwell[03427][8804] therein, even  they, and their children[01121], and their children's[01121] children[01121] for ever[05769]: and my servant[05650] David[01732] shall be  their prince[05387] for[05704] ever[05769].
39:24 Moreover I will make[03772][8804] a covenant[01285] of peace[07965] with them; it shall be an everlasting[05769] covenant[01285] with them: and I will place[05414][8804] them, and multiply[07235][8689] them, and will set[05414][8804] my sanctuary[04720] in the midst[08432] of them for evermore[05769].
39:25 My tabernacle[04908] also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God[0430], and they shall be my people[05971].
39:26 And the heathen[01471] shall know[03045][8804] that I the LORD[03068] do sanctify[06942][8764] Israel[03478], when my sanctuary[04720] shall be in the midst[08432] of them for evermore[05769].
39:27 And the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
39:28 Son[01121] of man[0120], set[07760][8798] thy face[06440] against Gog[01463], the land[0776] of Magog[04031], the chief[07218] prince[05387] of Meshech[04902] and Tubal[08422], and prophesy[05012][8734] against him, the chief...: or, prince of the chief
39:29 And say[0559][8804], Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog[01463], the chief[07218] prince[05387] of Meshech[04902] and Tubal[08422]:
40:1 And I will turn thee back[07725][8790], and put[05414][8804] hooks[02397] into thy jaws[03895], and I will bring thee forth[03318][8689], and all thine army[02428], horses[05483] and horsemen[06571], all of them clothed[03847][8803] with all sorts[04358] of armour, even a great[07227] company[06951] with bucklers[06793] and shields[04043], all of them handling[08610][8802] swords[02719]:
40:2 Persia[06539], Ethiopia[03568], and Libya[06316] with them; all of them with shield[04043] and helmet[03553]: Libya: or, Phut
40:3 Gomer[01586], and all his bands[0102]; the house[01004] of Togarmah[08425] of the north[06828] quarters[03411], and all his bands[0102]: and many[07227] people[05971] with thee.
40:4 Be thou prepared[03559][8734], and prepare[03559][8685] for thyself, thou, and all thy company[06951] that are assembled[06950][8737] unto thee, and be thou a guard[04929] unto them.
40:5 After many[07227] days[03117] thou shalt be visited[06485][8735]: in the latter[0319] years[08141] thou shalt come[0935][8799] into the land[0776] that is brought back[07725][8796] from the sword[02719], and is  gathered[06908][8794] out of many[07227] people[05971], against the mountains[02022] of Israel[03478], which have been always[08548] waste[02723]: but it is brought forth[03318][8717] out of the nations[05971], and they shall dwell[03427][8804] safely[0983] all of them.
40:6 Thou shalt ascend[05927][8804] and come[0935][8799] like a storm[07722], thou shalt be like a cloud[06051] to cover[03680][8763] the land[0776], thou, and all thy bands[0102], and many[07227] people[05971] with thee.
40:7 Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time[03117] shall things[01697] come[05927][8799] into thy mind[03824], and thou shalt think[02803][8804] an evil[07451] thought[04284]: think...: or, conceive a mischievous purpose
40:8 And thou shalt say[0559][8804], I will go up[05927][8799] to the land[0776] of unwalled villages[06519]; I will go[0935][8799] to them that are at rest[08252][8802], that dwell[03427][8802] safely[0983], all of them dwelling[03427][8802] without walls[02346], and having neither bars[01280] nor gates[01817], safely: or, confidently

40:11 Therefore, son[01121] of man[0120], prophesy[05012][8734] and say[0559][8804] unto Gog[01463], Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; In that day[03117] when my people[05971] of Israel[03478] dwelleth[03427][8800] safely[0983], shalt thou not know[03045][8799] it ?
40:12 And thou shalt come[0935][8804] from thy place[04725] out of the north[06828] parts[03411], thou, and many[07227] people[05971] with thee, all of them riding[07392][8802] upon horses[05483], a great[01419] company[06951], and a mighty[07227] army[02428]:

43:1 So he measured[04058][8799] the court[02691], an hundred[03967] cubits[0520] long[0753], and an hundred[03967] cubits[0520] broad[07341], foursquare[07251][8794]; and the altar[04196] that was before[06440] the house[01004].
43:2 And he brought[0935][8686] me to the porch[0197] of the house[01004], and measured[04058][8799] each post[0352] of the porch[0197], five[02568] cubits[0520] on this side, and five[02568] cubits[0520] on that side: and the breadth[07341] of the gate[08179] was three[07969] cubits[0520] on this side, and three[07969] cubits[0520] on that side.
43:3 The length[0753] of the porch[0197] was twenty[06242] cubits[0520], and the breadth[07341] eleven[06249][06240] cubits[0520]; and he brought me by the steps[04609] whereby they went up[05927][8799] to it: and there were pillars[05982] by the posts[0352], one[0259] on this side, and another[0259] on that side.
43:4 Afterward he brought[0935][8686] me to the temple[01964], and measured[04058][8799] the posts[0352], six[08337] cubits[0520] broad[07341] on the one side[06311], and six[08337] cubits[0520] broad[07341] on the other side[06311], which was the breadth[07341] of the tabernacle[0168].
43:5 And the breadth[07341] of the door[06607] was ten[06235] cubits[0520]; and the sides[03802] of the door[06607] were five[02568] cubits[0520] on the one side, and five[02568] cubits[0520] on the other side: and he measured[04058][8799] the length[0753] thereof, forty[0705] cubits[0520]: and the breadth[07341], twenty[06242] cubits[0520]. door: or, entrance
43:6 Then went[0935][8804] he inward[06441], and measured[04058][8799] the post[0352] of the door[06607], two[08147] cubits[0520]; and the door[06607], six[08337] cubits[0520]; and the breadth[07341] of the door[06607], seven[07651] cubits[0520].
43:7 So he measured[04058][8799] the length[0753] thereof, twenty[06242] cubits[0520]; and the breadth[07341], twenty[06242] cubits[0520], before[06440] the temple[01964]: and he said[0559][8799] unto me, This is the most[06944] holy[06944] place .
43:8 After he measured[04058][8799] the wall[07023] of the house[01004], six[08337] cubits[0520]; and the breadth[07341] of every side chamber[06763], four[0702] cubits[0520], round about[05439] the house[01004] on every side[05439].
43:9 And the side[06763] chambers[06763] were three[07969], one over another[06763], and thirty[07970] in order[06471]; and they entered[0935][8802] into the wall[07023] which was of the house[01004] for the side chambers[06763] round about[05439], that they might have hold[0270][8803], but they had not hold[0270][8803] in the wall[07023] of the house[01004]. one...: Heb. side chamber over side chamber thirty...: or, three and thirty times, or, foot have hold: Heb. be holden
43:10 And there was an enlarging[07337][8804], and a winding about[05437][8738] still upward[04605] to the side chambers[06763]: for the winding about[04141] of the house[01004] went still upward[04605] round about[05439] the house[01004]: therefore the breadth[07341] of the house[01004] was still upward[04605], and so increased[05927][8799] from the lowest[08481] chamber to the highest[05945] by the midst[08484]. there...: Heb. it was made broader, and went round
43:11 I saw[07200][8804] also the height[01363] of the house[01004] round about[05439]: the foundations[04328] of the side chambers[06763] were a full[04393] reed[07070] of six[08337] great[0679] cubits[0520].
43:12 The thickness[07341] of the wall[07023], which was for the side chamber[06763] without[02351], was five[02568] cubits[0520]: and that which was left[03240][8716] was the place[01004] of the side chambers[06763] that were within[01004].
43:13 And between the chambers[03957] was the wideness[07341] of twenty[06242] cubits[0520] round about[05439] the house[01004] on every side[05439].
43:14 And the doors[06607] of the side chambers[06763] were toward the place that was left[03240][8716], one[0259] door[06607] toward[01870] the north[06828], and another[0259] door[06607] toward the south[01864]: and the breadth[07341] of the place[04725] that was left[03240][8716] was five[02568] cubits[0520] round about[05439].
43:15 Now the building[01146] that was before[06440] the separate place[01508] at the end[06285] toward[01870] the west[03220] was seventy[07657] cubits[0520] broad[07341]; and the wall[07023] of the building[01146] was five[02568] cubits[0520] thick[07341] round about[05439], and the length[0753] thereof ninety[08673] cubits[0520].
43:16 So he measured[04058][8804] the house[01004], an hundred[03967] cubits[0520] long[0753]; and the separate place[01508], and the building[01140], with the walls[07023] thereof, an hundred[03967] cubits[0520] long[0753];
43:17 Also the breadth[07341] of the face[06440] of the house[01004], and of the separate place[01508] toward the east[06921], an hundred[03967] cubits[0520].
43:18 And he measured[04058][8804] the length[0753] of the building[01146] over against[06440] the separate place[01508] which was behind[0310] it, and the galleries[0862] thereof on the one side and on the other side, an hundred[03967] cubits[0520], with the inner[06442] temple[01964], and the porches[0197] of the court[02691]; galleries: or, several walks, or, walks with pillars
43:19 The door posts[05592], and the narrow[0331][8801] windows[02474], and the galleries[0862] round about[05439] on their three stories[07969], over against[05048] the door[05592], cieled[07824] with wood[06086] round about[05439], and from the ground[0776] up to the windows[02474], and the windows[02474] were covered[03680][8794]; cieled...: Heb. cieling of wood and from...: or, and the ground unto the windows
43:20 To that above the door[06607], even unto the inner[06442] house[01004], and without[02351], and by all the wall[07023] round about[05439] within[06442] and without[02435], by measure[04060]. measure: Heb. measures
43:21 And it was made[06213][8803] with cherubims[03742] and palm trees[08561], so that a palm tree[08561] was between a cherub[03742] and a cherub[03742]; and every cherub[03742] had two[08147] faces[06440];
43:22 So that the face[06440] of a man[0120] was toward the palm tree[08561] on the one side, and the face[06440] of a young lion[03715] toward the palm tree[08561] on the other side: it was made[06213][8803] through all the house[01004] round about[05439].
43:23 From the ground[0776] unto above the door[06607] were cherubims[03742] and palm trees[08561] made[06213][8803], and on the wall[07023] of the temple[01964].
43:24 The posts[04201] of the temple[01964] were squared[07251][8803], and the face[06440] of the sanctuary[06944]; the appearance[04758] of the one as the appearance[04758] of the other . posts: Heb. post
43:25 The altar[04196] of wood[06086] was three[07969] cubits[0520] high[01364], and the length[0753] thereof two[08147] cubits[0520]; and the corners[04740] thereof, and the length[0753] thereof, and the walls[07023] thereof, were of wood[06086]: and he said[01696][8762] unto me, This is the table[07979] that is before[06440] the LORD[03068].
43:26 And the temple[01964] and the sanctuary[06944] had two[08147] doors[01817].
43:27 And the doors[01817] had two[08147] leaves[01817] apiece , two[08147] turning[04142][8716] leaves[01817]; two[08147] leaves for the one[0259] door[01817], and two[08147] leaves[01817] for the other[0312]  door .
44:1 And there were made[06213][8803] on them, on the doors[01817] of the temple[01964], cherubims[03742] and palm trees[08561], like as were made[06213][8803] upon the walls[07023]; and there were thick[05646] planks[06086] upon the face[06440] of the porch[0197] without[02351].
44:2 And there were narrow[0331][8801] windows[02474] and palm trees[08561] on the one side and on the other side, on the sides[03802] of the porch[0197], and upon the side chambers[06763] of the house[01004], and thick planks[05646].
44:3 Then he brought me forth[03318][8686] into the utter[02435] court[02691], the way toward[01870] the north[06828]: and he brought[0935][8686] me into the chamber[03957] that was  over against the separate place[01508], and which was before the building[01146] toward the north[06828].
44:4 Before[06440] the length[0753] of an hundred[03967] cubits[0520] was the north[06828] door[06607], and the breadth[07341] was fifty[02572] cubits[0520].
44:5 Over against the twenty[06242] cubits which were for the inner[06442] court[02691], and over against the pavement[07531] which was for the utter[02435] court[02691], was gallery[0862] against[06440] gallery[0862] in three[07992] stories .
44:6 And before[06440] the chambers[03957] was a walk[04109] of ten[06235] cubits[0520] breadth[07341] inward[06442], a way[01870] of one[0259] cubit[0520]; and their doors[06607] toward the north[06828].
44:7 Now the upper[05945] chambers[03957] were shorter[07114][8803]: for the galleries[0862] were higher[0398][8799] than these[02007], than the lower[08481], and than the middlemost[08484] of the building[01146]. were higher...: or, did eat of these than the lower...: or, and the building consisted of the lower and the middlemost
44:8 For they were in three[08027][8794] stories , but had not pillars[05982] as the pillars[05982] of the courts[02691]: therefore the building was straitened[0680][8738] more than the lowest[08481] and the middlemost[08484] from the ground[0776].
44:9 And the wall[01447] that was without[02351] over against[05980] the chambers[03957], toward[01870] the utter[02435] court[02691] on the forepart[06440] of the chambers[03957], the length[0753] thereof was fifty[02572] cubits[0520].
44:10 For the length[0753] of the chambers[03957] that were in the utter[02435] court[02691] was fifty[02572] cubits[0520]: and, lo, before[06440] the temple[01964] were an hundred[03967] cubits[0520].
44:11 And from under these chambers[03957] was the entry[03996][8675][0935][8688] on the east side[06921], as one goeth[0935][8800] into them[02007] from the utter[02435] court[02691]. from under: or, from the place the entry: or, he that brought me as...: or, as he came
44:12 The chambers[03957] were in the thickness[07341] of the wall[01444] of the court[02691] toward[01870] the east[06921], over against[06440] the separate place[01508], and over against[06440] the building[01146].
44:13 And the way[01870] before[06440] them was like the appearance[04758] of the chambers[03957] which were toward[01870] the north[06828], as long as[0753] they, and  as broad as[03651][07341] they: and all their goings out[04161] were both according to their fashions[04941], and according to their doors[06607].
44:14 And according to the doors[06607] of the chambers[03957] that were toward[01870] the south[01864] was a door[06607] in the head[07218] of the way[01870], even  the way[01870] directly[01903] before[06440] the wall[01448] toward[01870] the east[06921], as one entereth[0935][8800] into them.
44:15 Then said[0559][8799] he unto me, The north[06828] chambers[03957] and the south[01864] chambers[03957], which are before[06440] the separate place[01508], they be holy[06944] chambers[03957], where the priests[03548] that approach[07138] unto the LORD[03068] shall eat[0398][8799] the most[06944] holy things[06944]: there shall they lay[03240][8686] the most[06944] holy things[06944], and the meat offering[04503], and the sin offering[02403], and the trespass offering[0817]; for the place[04725] is holy[06918].
44:16 When the priests[03548] enter[0935][8800] therein, then shall they not go out[03318][8799] of the holy[06944] place into the utter[02435] court[02691], but there they shall lay[03240][8686] their garments[0899] wherein they minister[08334][8762]; for they are holy[06944]; and shall put[03847][8804][8675][03847][8799] on other[0312] garments[0899], and shall approach[07126][8804] to those things which are for the people[05971].
44:17 Now when he had made an end[03615][8765] of measuring[04060] the inner[06442] house[01004], he brought me forth[03318][8689] toward[01870] the gate[08179] whose prospect[06440] is toward[01870] the east[06921], and measured[04058][8804] it round about[05439].
44:18 He measured[04058][8804] the east[06921] side[07307] with the measuring[04060] reed[07070], five[02568][8675][0520] hundred[03967] reeds[07070], with the measuring[04060] reed[07070] round about[05439]. side: Heb. wind
44:19 He measured[04058][8804] the north[06828] side[07307], five[02568] hundred[03967] reeds[07070], with the measuring[04060] reed[07070] round about[05439].
44:20 He measured[04058][8804] the south[01864] side[07307], five[02568] hundred[03967] reeds[07070], with the measuring[04060] reed[07070].
44:21 He turned about[05437][8804] to the west[03220] side[07307], and measured[04058][8804] five[02568] hundred[03967] reeds[07070] with the measuring[04060] reed[07070].
44:22 He measured[04058][8804] it by the four[0702] sides[07307]: it had a wall[02346] round about[05439], five[02568] hundred[03967] reeds long[0753], and five[02568] hundred[03967] broad[07341], to make a separation[0914][8687] between the sanctuary[06944] and the profane place[02455].
44:23 Afterward he brought[03212][8686] me to the gate[08179], even the gate[08179] that looketh[06437][8802] toward[01870] the east[06921]:
44:24 And, behold, the glory[03519] of the God[0430] of Israel[03478] came[0935][8804] from the way[01870] of the east[06921]: and his voice[06963] was like a noise[06963] of many[07227] waters[04325]: and the earth[0776] shined[0215][8689] with his glory[03519].
44:25 And it was according to the appearance[04758] of the vision[04758] which I saw[07200][8804], even according to the vision[04758] that I saw[07200][8804] when I came[0935][8800] to destroy[07843][8763] the city[05892]: and the visions[04759] were like the vision[04758] that I saw[07200][8804] by the river[05104] Chebar[03529]; and I fell[05307][8799] upon my face[06440]. when...: or, when I came to prophesy that the city should be destroyed
44:26 And the glory[03519] of the LORD[03068] came[0935][8804] into the house[01004] by the way[01870] of the gate[08179] whose prospect[06440] is toward[01870] the east[06921].
44:27 So the spirit[07307] took me up[05375][8799], and brought[0935][8686] me into the inner[06442] court[02691]; and, behold, the glory[03519] of the LORD[03068] filled[04390][8804] the house[01004].
44:28 And I heard[08085][8799] him speaking[01696][8693] unto me out of the house[01004]; and the man[0376] stood[05975][8802] by me[0681].
44:29 And he said[0559][8799] unto me, Son[01121] of man[0120], the place[04725] of my throne[03678], and the place[04725] of the soles[03709] of my feet[07272], where I will dwell[07931][8799] in the midst[08432] of the children[01121] of Israel[03478] for ever[05769], and my holy[06944] name[08034], shall the house[01004] of Israel[03478] no more defile[02930][8762], neither they, nor their kings[04428], by their whoredom[02184], nor by the carcases[06297] of their kings[04428] in their high places[01116].
44:30 In their setting[05414][8800] of their threshold[05592] by my thresholds[05592], and their post[04201] by[0681] my posts[04201], and the wall[07023] between me and them, they have even defiled[02930][8765] my holy[06944] name[08034] by their abominations[08441] that they have committed[06213][8804]: wherefore I have consumed[03615][8762] them in mine anger[0639]. and the...: or, for there was but a wall between me and them
44:31 Now let them put away[07368][00] their whoredom[02184], and the carcases[06297] of their kings[04428], far[07368][8762] from me, and I will dwell[07931][8804] in the midst[08432] of them for ever[05769].
45:1 Thou son[01121] of man[0120], shew[05046][8685] the house[01004] to the house[01004] of Israel[03478], that they may be ashamed[03637][8735] of their iniquities[05771]: and let them measure[04058][8804] the pattern[08508]. pattern: or, sum, or, number
45:2 And if they be ashamed[03637][8738] of all that they have done[06213][8804], shew[03045][8685] them the form[06699] of the house[01004], and the fashion[08498] thereof, and the goings out[04161] thereof, and the comings[04126] in thereof, and all the forms[06699] thereof, and all the ordinances[02708] thereof, and all the forms[06699] thereof, and all the laws[08451] thereof: and write[03789][8798] it in their sight[05869], that they may keep[08104][8799] the whole form[06699] thereof, and all the ordinances[02708] thereof, and do[06213][8804] them.
45:3 This is the law[08451] of the house[01004]; Upon the top[07218] of the mountain[02022] the whole limit[01366] thereof round about[05439] shall be most[06944] holy[06944]. Behold, this is the law[08451] of the house[01004].
45:4 And these are the measures[04060] of the altar[04196] after the cubits[0520]: The cubit[0520] is a cubit[0520] and an hand breadth[02948]; even the bottom[02436] shall be a cubit[0520], and the breadth[07341] a cubit[0520], and the border[01366] thereof by the edge[08193] thereof round about[05439] shall be a[0259] span[02239]: and this shall be the higher place[01354] of the altar[04196]. bottom: Heb. bosom edge: Heb. lip
45:5 And from the bottom[02436] upon the ground[0776] even to the lower[08481] settle[05835] shall be two[08147] cubits[0520], and the breadth[07341] one[0259] cubit[0520]; and from the lesser[06996] settle[05835] even to the greater[01419] settle[05835] shall be four[0702] cubits[0520], and the breadth[07341] one cubit[0520].
45:6 So the altar[0741][02025] shall be four[0702] cubits[0520]; and from the altar[0741] and upward[04605] shall be four[0702] horns[07161]. the altar (first): Heb. Harel, that is, the mountain of God the altar (second): Heb. Ariel, that is, the lion of God
45:7 And the altar[0741] shall be twelve[08147][06240] cubits long[0753], twelve[08147][06240] broad[07341], square[07251][8803] in the four[0702] squares[07253] thereof.
45:8 And the settle[05835] shall be fourteen[0702][06240] cubits long[0753] and fourteen[0702][06240] broad[07341] in the four[0702] squares[07253] thereof; and the border[01366] about[05439] it shall be  half[02677] a cubit[0520]; and the bottom[02436] thereof shall be a cubit[0520] about[05439]; and his stairs[04609] shall look[06437][8800] toward the east[06921].
45:9 And he said[0559][8799] unto me, Son[01121] of man[0120], thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; These are the ordinances[02708] of the altar[04196] in the day[03117] when they shall make[06213][8736] it, to offer[05927][8687] burnt offerings[05930] thereon, and to sprinkle[02236][8800] blood[01818] thereon.
45:10 And thou shalt give[05414][8804] to the priests[03548] the Levites[03881] that be of the seed[02233] of Zadok[06659], which approach[07138] unto me, to minister[08334][8763] unto me, saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], a young[01121][01241] bullock[06499] for a sin offering[02403].
45:11 And thou shalt take[03947][8804] of the blood[01818] thereof, and put[05414][8804] it on the four[0702] horns[07161] of it, and on the four[0702] corners[06438] of the settle[05835], and upon the border[01366] round about[05439]: thus shalt thou cleanse[02398][8765] and purge[03722][8765] it.
45:12 Thou shalt take[03947][8804] the bullock[06499] also of the sin offering[02403], and he shall burn[08313][8804] it in the appointed place[04662] of the house[01004], without[02351] the sanctuary[04720].
45:13 And on the second[08145] day[03117] thou shalt offer[07126][8686] a kid[08163] of the goats[05795] without blemish[08549] for a sin offering[02403]; and they shall cleanse[02398][8765] the altar[04196], as they did cleanse[02398][8765] it with the bullock[06499].
45:14 When thou hast made an end[03615][8763] of cleansing[02398][8763] it , thou shalt offer[07126][8686] a young[01121][01241] bullock[06499] without blemish[08549], and a ram[0352] out of the flock[06629] without blemish[08549].
45:15 And thou shalt offer[07126][8689] them before[06440] the LORD[03068], and the priests[03548] shall cast[07993][8689] salt[04417] upon them, and they shall offer them up[05927][8689] for a burnt offering[05930] unto the LORD[03068].
45:16 Seven[07651] days[03117] shalt thou prepare[06213][8799] every day[03117] a goat[08163] for a sin offering[02403]: they shall also prepare[06213][8799] a young[01121][01241] bullock[06499], and a ram[0352] out of the flock[06629], without blemish[08549].
45:17 Seven[07651] days[03117] shall they purge[03722][8762] the altar[04196] and purify[02891][8765] it; and they shall consecrate themselves[04390][8765][03027]. consecrate...: Heb. fill their hands
45:18 And when these days[03117] are expired[03615][8762], it shall be, that upon the eighth[08066] day[03117], and so forward[01973], the priests[03548] shall make[06213][8799] your burnt offerings[05930] upon the altar[04196], and your peace offerings[08002]; and I will accept[07521][8804] you, saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]. peace...: or, thank offerings
45:19 Then he brought me back[07725][8686] the way[01870] of the gate[08179] of the outward[02435] sanctuary[04720] which looketh[06437][8802] toward the east[06921]; and it was shut[05462][8803].
45:20 Then said[0559][8799] the LORD[03068] unto me; This gate[08179] shall be shut[05462][8803], it shall not be opened[06605][8735], and no man[0376] shall enter[0935][8799] in by it; because the LORD[03068], the God[0430] of Israel[03478], hath entered[0935][8804] in by it, therefore it shall be shut[05462][8803].
45:21 It is for the prince[05387]; the prince[05387], he shall sit[03427][8799] in it to eat[0398][8800] bread[03899] before[06440] the LORD[03068]; he shall enter[0935][8799] by the way[01870] of the porch[0197] of  that gate[08179], and shall go out[03318][8799] by the way[01870] of the same.
45:22 Then brought[0935][8686] he me the way[01870] of the north[06828] gate[08179] before[06440] the house[01004]: and I looked[07200][8799], and, behold, the glory[03519] of the LORD[03068] filled[04390][8804] the house[01004] of the LORD[03068]: and I fell[05307][8799] upon my face[06440].
45:23 And the LORD[03068] said[0559][8799] unto me, Son[01121] of man[0120], mark[07760][8798] well[03820], and behold[07200][8798] with thine eyes[05869], and hear[08085][8798] with thine ears[0241] all that I say[01696][8764] unto thee concerning all the ordinances[02708] of the house[01004] of the LORD[03068], and all the laws[08451] thereof; and mark[07760][8804] well[03820] the entering in[03996] of the house[01004], with every going forth[04161] of the sanctuary[04720]. mark well: Heb. set thine heart mark well: Heb. set thine heart
45:24 And thou shalt say[0559][8804] to the rebellious[04805], even to the house[01004] of Israel[03478], Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; O ye house[01004] of Israel[03478], let it suffice[07227] you of all your abominations[08441],
45:25 In that ye have brought[0935][8687] into my sanctuary strangers[01121][05236], uncircumcised[06189] in heart[03820], and uncircumcised[06189] in flesh[01320], to be in my sanctuary[04720], to pollute[02490][8763] it, even my house[01004], when ye offer[07126][8687] my bread[03899], the fat[02459] and the blood[01818], and they have broken[06565][8686] my covenant[01285] because[0413] of all your abominations[08441]. strangers: Heb. children of a stranger
45:26 And ye have not kept[08104][8804] the charge[04931] of mine holy things[06944]: but ye have set[07760][8799] keepers[08104][8802] of my charge[04931] in my sanctuary[04720] for yourselves. my charge: or, my ward, or, ordinance
46:1 Thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; No stranger[01121][05236], uncircumcised[06189] in heart[03820], nor uncircumcised[06189] in flesh[01320], shall enter[0935][8799] into my sanctuary[04720], of any stranger that is among[08432] the children[01121] of Israel[03478].
46:2 And the Levites[03881] that are gone away far[07368][8804] from me, when Israel[03478] went astray[08582][8800], which went astray away[08582][8804] from me after[0310] their idols[01544]; they shall even bear[05375][8804] their iniquity[05771].
46:3 Yet they shall be ministers[08334][8764] in my sanctuary[04720], having charge[06486] at the gates[08179] of the house[01004], and ministering[08334][8764] to the house[01004]: they shall slay[07819][8799] the burnt offering[05930] and the sacrifice[02077] for the people[05971], and they shall stand[05975][8799] before[06440] them to minister[08334][8763] unto them.
46:4 Because they ministered[08334][8762] unto them before[06440] their idols[01544], and caused the house[01004] of Israel[03478] to fall[04383] into iniquity[05771]; therefore have I lifted up[05375][8804] mine hand[03027] against them, saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], and they shall bear[05375][8804] their iniquity[05771]. caused...: Heb. were for a stumblingblock of iniquity unto, etc
46:5 And they shall not come near[05066][8799] unto me, to do the office of a priest[03547][8763] unto me, nor to come near[05066][8800] to any of my holy things[06944], in the most holy[06944] place : but they shall bear[05375][8804] their shame[03639], and their abominations[08441] which they have committed[06213][8804].
46:6 But I will make[05414][8804] them keepers[08104][8802] of the charge[04931] of the house[01004], for all the service[05656] thereof, and for all that shall be done[06213][8735] therein.
46:7 But the priests[03548] the Levites[03881], the sons[01121] of Zadok[06659], that kept[08104][8804] the charge[04931] of my sanctuary[04720] when the children[01121] of Israel[03478] went astray[08582][8800] from me, they shall come near[07126][8799] to me to minister[08334][8763] unto me, and they shall stand[05975][8804] before[06440] me to offer[07126][8687] unto me the fat[02459] and the blood[01818], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]:

48:19 Moreover the prince[05387] shall not take[03947][8799] of the people's[05971] inheritance[05159] by oppression[03238][8687], to thrust[03238][8687] them out of their possession[0272]; but he shall give his sons[01121] inheritance[05157][8686] out of his own possession[0272]: that my people[05971] be not scattered[06327][8799] every man[0376] from his possession[0272].
48:20 After he brought[0935][8686] me through the entry[03996], which was at the side[03802] of the gate[08179], into the holy[06944] chambers[03957] of the priests[03548], which looked[06437][8802] toward the north[06828]: and, behold, there was a place[04725] on the two sides[03411] westward[03220].
48:21 Then said[0559][8799] he unto me, This is the place[04725] where the priests[03548] shall boil[01310][8762] the trespass offering[0817] and the sin offering[02403], where they shall bake[0644][8799] the meat offering[04503]; that they bear[03318][8687] them not out into the utter[02435] court[02691], to sanctify[06942][8763] the people[05971].
48:22 Then he brought me forth[03318][8686] into the utter[02435] court[02691], and caused me to pass by[05674][8686] the four[0702] corners[04740] of the court[02691]; and, behold, in every[04740] corner[04740] of the court[02691][02691] there was a court[02691]. in every...: Heb. a court in a corner of a court, and a court in a corner of a court
48:23 In the four[0702] corners[04740] of the court[02691] there were courts[02691] joined[07000][8803] of forty[0705] cubits long[0753] and thirty[07970] broad[07341]: these four[0702] corners[07106][8716]  were of one[0259] measure[04060]. joined: or, made with chimneys corners were...: Heb. cornered, etc
48:24 And there was a row[02905] of building round about[05439] in them, round about[05439] them four[0702], and it was made[06213][8803] with boiling places[04018] under the rows[02918] round about[05439].
48:25 Then said[0559][8799] he unto me, These are the places[01004] of them that boil[01310][8764], where the ministers[08334][8764] of the house[01004] shall boil[01310][8762] the sacrifice[02077] of the people[05971].
48:26 Afterward he brought me again[07725][8686] unto the door[06607] of the house[01004]; and, behold, waters[04325] issued out[03318][8802] from under the threshold[04670] of the house[01004] eastward[06921]: for the forefront[06440] of the house[01004] stood toward the east[06921], and the waters[04325] came down[03381][8802] from under from the right[03233] side[03802] of the house[01004], at the south[05045] side of the altar[04196].
48:27 Then brought he me out[03318][8686] of the way[01870] of the gate[08179] northward[06828], and led me about[05437][8686] the way[01870] without unto the utter[02351] gate[08179] by the way[01870] that looketh[06437][8802] eastward[06921]; and, behold, there ran out[06379][8764] waters[04325] on the right[03233] side[03802].
48:28 And when the man[0376] that had the line[06957] in his hand[03027] went forth[03318][8800] eastward[06921], he measured[04058][8799] a thousand[0505] cubits[0520], and he brought me through[05674][8686] the waters[04325]; the waters[04325] were to the ankles[0657]. the waters were...: Heb. waters of the ankles
48:29 Again he measured[04058][8799] a thousand[0505], and brought me through[05674][8686] the waters[04325]; the waters[04325] were to the knees[01290]. Again he measured[04058][8799] a thousand[0505], and brought me through[05674][8686]; the waters[04325] were to the loins[04975].
48:30 Afterward he measured[04058][8799] a thousand[0505]; and it was a river[05158] that I could[03201][8799] not pass over[05674][8800]: for the waters[04325] were risen[01342][8804], waters[04325] to swim in[07813], a river[05158] that could not be passed over[05674][8735]. waters to...: Heb. waters of swimming
48:31 And he said[0559][8799] unto me, Son[01121] of man[0120], hast thou seen[07200][8804] this ? Then he brought[03212][8686] me, and caused me to return[07725][8686] to the brink[08193] of the river[05158].
48:32 Now when I had returned[07725][8800], behold, at the bank[08193] of the river[05158] were very[03966] many[07227] trees[06086] on the one side and on the other. bank: Heb. lip
48:33 Then said[0559][8799] he unto me, These waters[04325] issue out[03318][8802] toward the east[06930] country[01552], and go down[03381][8804] into the desert[06160], and go[0935][8804] into the sea[03220]: which being  brought forth[03318][8716] into the sea[03220], the waters[04325] shall be healed[07495][8738]. desert: or, plain
48:34 And it shall come to pass, that every thing[05315] that liveth[02416], which moveth[08317][8799], whithersoever the rivers[05158] shall come[0935][8799], shall live[02421][8799]: and there shall be a very[03966] great[07227] multitude of fish[01710], because these waters[04325] shall come[0935][8804] thither: for they shall be healed[07495][8735]; and every thing shall live[02425][8804] whither the river[05158] cometh[0935][8799]. rivers: Heb. two rivers
48:35 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers[01728] shall stand[05975][8804][8675][05975][8799] upon it from Engedi[05872] even unto Eneglaim[05882]; they shall be a place  to spread forth[04894] nets[02764]; their fish[01710] shall be according to their kinds[04327], as the fish[01710] of the great[01419] sea[03220], exceeding[03966] many[07227].
