Ezekiel 1:1--19:14

Now it came to pass in the thirtieth
<07970>
year
<08141>_,
in the fourth
<07243>
[month], in the fifth
<02568>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
as I [was] among
<08432>
the captives
<01473>
by the river
<05104>
of Chebar
<03529>_,
[that] the heavens
<08064>
were opened
<06605> (8738)_,
and I saw
<07200> (8799)
visions
<04759>
of God
<0430>_.
{captives: Heb. captivity}
In the fifth
<02568>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
which [was] the fifth
<02549>
year
<08141>
of king
<04428>
Jehoiachin's
<03112>
captivity
<01546>_,
The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came expressly unto Ezekiel
<03168>
the priest
<03548>_,
the son
<01121>
of Buzi
<0941>_,
in the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>
by the river
<05104>
Chebar
<03529>_;
and the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
was there upon him. {Ezekiel: Heb. Jehezkel}
And I looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and, behold, a whirlwind
<07307> <05591>
came
<0935> (8802)
out of the north
<06828>_,
a great
<01419>
cloud
<06051>_,
and a fire
<0784>
infolding
<03947> (8693)
itself, and a brightness
<05051>
[was] about
<05439>
it, and out of the midst
<08432>
thereof as the colour
<05869>
of amber
<02830>_,
out of the midst
<08432>
of the fire
<0784>_.
{infolding...: Heb. catching itself}
Also out of the midst
<08432>
thereof [came] the likeness
<01823>
of four
<0702>
living creatures
<02416>_.
And this [was] their appearance
<04758>_;
they
<02007>
had the likeness
<01823>
of a man
<0120>_.
And every one
<0259>
had four
<0702>
faces
<06440>_,
and every one
<0259>
had four
<0702>
wings
<03671>_.
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}
And [they had] the hands
<03027>
of a man
<0120>
under their wings
<03671>
on their four
<0702>
sides
<07253>_;
and they four
<0702>
had their faces
<06440>
and their wings
<03671>_.
Their wings
<03671>
[were] joined
<02266> (8802)
one
<0802>
to another
<0269>_;
they turned
<05437> (8735)
not when they went
<03212> (8800)_;
they went
<03212> (8799)
every one
<0376>
straight
<05676>
forward
<06440>_.
As for the likeness
<01823>
of their faces
<06440>_,
they four
<0702>
had the face
<06440>
of a man
<0120>_,
and the face
<06440>
of a lion
<0738>_,
on the right side
<03225>_:
and they four
<0702>
had the face
<06440>
of an ox
<07794>
on the left side
<08040>_;
they four
<0702>
also had the face
<06440>
of an eagle
<05404>_.
Thus [were] their faces
<06440>_:
and their wings
<03671>
[were] stretched
<06504> (8803)
upward
<04605>_;
two
<08147>
[wings] of every one
<0376>
[were] joined
<02266> (8802)
one
<0376>
to another
<0376>_,
and two
<08147>
covered
<03680> (8764)
their bodies
<01472>_.
{stretched...: or, divided above}
And they went
<03212> (8799)
every one
<0376>
straight
<05676>
forward
<06440>_:
whither the spirit
<07307>
was to go
<03212> (8800)_,
they went
<03212> (8799)_;
[and] they turned
<05437> (8735)
not when they went
<03212> (8800)_.
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>_.
And the living creatures
<02416>
ran
<07519> (8800)
and returned
<07725> (8800)
as the appearance
<04758>
of a flash of lightning
<0965>_.
Now as I beheld
<07200> (8799)
the living creatures
<02416>_,
behold one
<0259>
wheel
<0212>
upon the earth
<0776>
by
<0681>
the living creatures
<02416>_,
with his four
<0702>
faces
<06440>_.
The appearance
<04758>
of the wheels
<0212>
and their work
<04639>
[was] like unto the colour
<05869>
of a beryl
<08658>_:
and they four
<0702>
had one
<0259>
likeness
<01823>_:
and their appearance
<04758>
and their work
<04639>
[was] as it were a wheel
<0212>
in the middle
<08432>
of a wheel
<0212>_.
When they went
<03212> (8800)_,
they went
<03212> (8799)
upon their four
<0702>
sides
<07253>_:
[and] they turned
<05437> (8735)
not when they went
<03212> (8800)_.
As for their rings
<01354>_,
they were so high
<01363>
that they were dreadful
<03374>_;
and their rings
<01354>
[were] full
<04392>
of eyes
<05869>
round about
<05439>
them four
<0702>_.
{and their rings: or, and their strakes}
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)_.
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}
When those went
<03212> (8800)_,
[these] went
<03212> (8799)_;
and when those stood
<05975> (8800)_,
[these] stood
<05975> (8799)_;
and when those were lifted up
<05375> (8736)
from the earth
<0776>_,
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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.
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>_.
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)_.
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.
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.
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}
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}
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.
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}
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}
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.
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;
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>_.
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>_.
So I opened
<06605> (8799)
my mouth
<06310>_,
and he caused me to eat
<0398> (8686)
that roll
<04039>_.
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>_.
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.
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}
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?}
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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)_.
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>_.
[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}
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}
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>_.
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)_,
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.
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>_.
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>_.
Again
<07725> (0)_,
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}
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>_.
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.
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>_.
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>_.
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:
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}
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>_.
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>_:
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}
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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.
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}
Take
<03947> (8798)
thou also unto thee wheat
<02406>_,
and barley
<08184>_,
and beans
<06321>_,
and lentiles
<05742>_,
and millet
<01764>_,
and fitches
<03698>_,
and put
<05414> (8804)
them in one
<0259>
vessel
<03627>_,
and make
<06213> (8804)
thee bread
<03899>
thereof, [according] to the number
<04557>
of the days
<03117>
that thou shalt lie
<07901> (8802)
upon thy side
<06654>_,
three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
and ninety
<08673>
days
<03117>
shalt thou eat
<0398> (8799)
thereof. {fitches: or, spelt}
And thy meat
<03978>
which thou shalt eat
<0398> (8799)
[shall be] by weight
<04946>_,
twenty
<06242>
shekels
<08255>
a day
<03117>_:
from time
<06256>
to time
<06256>
shalt thou eat
<0398> (8799)
it.
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)_.
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>_.
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.
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>_.
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.
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>_:
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>_.
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].
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.
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}
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>_.
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.
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.
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;
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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)_.
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.
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.
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)_.
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].
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>_:
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].
And the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
set
<07760> (8798)
thy face
<06440>
toward the mountains
<02022>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and prophesy
<05012> (8734)
against them,
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>_.
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}
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}
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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.
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>_.
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.
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>_.
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}
Moreover the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Also, thou son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
unto the land
<0127>
of Israel
<03478>_;
An end
<07093>_,
the end
<07093>
is come
<0935> (8804)
upon the four
<0702>
corners
<03671>
of the land
<0776>_.
Now [is] the end
<07093>
[come] upon thee, and I will send
<07971> (8765)
mine anger
<0639>
upon thee, and will judge
<08199> (8804)
thee according to thy ways
<01870>_,
and will recompense
<05414> (8804)
upon thee all thine abominations
<08441>_.
{recompense: Heb. give}
And mine eye
<05869>
shall not spare
<02347> (8799)
thee, neither will I have pity
<02550> (8799)_:
but I will recompense
<05414> (8799)
thy ways
<01870>
upon thee, and thine abominations
<08441>
shall be in the midst
<08432>
of thee: and ye shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
An evil
<07451>_,
an only
<0259>
evil
<07451>_,
behold, is come
<0935> (8802)_.
An end
<07093>
is come
<0935> (8804)_,
the end
<07093>
is come
<0935> (8804)_:
it watcheth
<06974> (8689)
for thee; behold, it is come
<0935> (8802)_.
{watcheth for: Heb. awaketh against}
The morning
<06843>
is come
<0935> (8804)
unto thee, O thou that dwellest
<03427> (8802)
in the land
<0776>_:
the time
<06256>
is come
<0935> (8804) (8676) <0935> (8802)_,
the day
<03117>
of trouble
<04103>
[is] near
<07138>_,
and not the sounding again
<01906>
of the mountains
<02022>_.
{sounding...: or, echo}
Now will I shortly
<07138>
pour out
<08210> (8799)
my fury
<02534>
upon thee, and accomplish
<03615> (8765)
mine anger
<0639>
upon thee: and I will judge
<08199> (8804)
thee according to thy ways
<01870>_,
and will recompense
<05414> (8804)
thee for all thine abominations
<08441>_.
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}
Behold the day
<03117>_,
behold, it is come
<0935> (8802)_:
the morning
<06843>
is gone forth
<03318> (8804)_;
the rod
<04294>
hath blossomed
<06692> (8804)_,
pride
<02087>
hath budded
<06524> (8804)_.
Violence
<02555>
is risen up
<06965> (8804)
into a rod
<04294>
of wickedness
<07562>_:
none of them [shall remain], nor of their multitude
<01995>_,
nor of any
<01991>
of theirs: neither [shall there be] wailing
<05089>
for them. {theirs: or, their tumultuous persons: Heb. tumult}
The time
<06256>
is come
<0935> (8804)_,
the day
<03117>
draweth near
<05060> (8689)_:
let not the buyer
<07069> (8802)
rejoice
<08055> (8799)_,
nor the seller
<04376> (8802)
mourn
<056> (8691)_:
for wrath
<02740>
[is] upon all the multitude
<01995>
thereof.
For the seller
<04376> (8802)
shall not return
<07725> (8799)
to that which is sold
<04465>_,
although they were yet alive
<02416>_:
for the vision
<02377>
[is] touching the whole multitude
<01995>
thereof, [which] shall not return
<07725> (8799)_;
neither shall any
<0376>
strengthen
<02388> (8691)
himself in the iniquity
<05771>
of his life
<02416>_.
{although they...: Heb. though their life were yet among the living} {in the...: or, whose life is in his iniquity} {the iniquity: Heb. his iniquity}
They have blown
<08628> (8804)
the trumpet
<08619>_,
even to make all ready
<03559> (8687)_;
but none goeth
<01980> (8802)
to the battle
<04421>_:
for my wrath
<02740>
[is] upon all the multitude
<01995>
thereof.
The sword
<02719>
[is] without
<02351>_,
and the pestilence
<01698>
and the famine
<07458>
within
<01004>_:
he that [is] in the field
<07704>
shall die
<04191> (8799)
with the sword
<02719>_;
and he that [is] in the city
<05892>_,
famine
<07458>
and pestilence
<01698>
shall devour
<0398> (8799)
him.
But they that escape
<06403> (8804)
of them shall escape
<06412>_,
and shall be on the mountains
<02022>
like doves
<03123>
of the valleys
<01516>_,
all of them mourning
<01993> (8802)_,
every one
<0376>
for his iniquity
<05771>_.
All hands
<03027>
shall be feeble
<07503> (8799)_,
and all knees
<01290>
shall be weak
<03212> (8799)
[as] water
<04325>_.
{be weak...: Heb. go into water}
They shall also gird
<02296> (8804)
[themselves] with sackcloth
<08242>_,
and horror
<06427>
shall cover
<03680> (8765)
them; and shame
<0955>
[shall be] upon all faces
<06440>_,
and baldness
<07144>
upon all their heads
<07218>_.
They shall cast
<07993> (8686)
their silver
<03701>
in the streets
<02351>_,
and their gold
<02091>
shall be removed
<05079>_:
their silver
<03701>
and their gold
<02091>
shall not be able
<03201> (8799)
to deliver
<05337> (8687)
them in the day
<03117>
of the wrath
<05678>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
they shall not satisfy
<07646> (8762)
their souls
<05315>_,
neither fill
<04390> (8762)
their bowels
<04578>_:
because it is the stumblingblock
<04383>
of their iniquity
<05771>_.
{removed: Heb. for a separation, or, uncleanness} {it is...: or, their iniquity is their stumblingblock}
As for the beauty
<06643>
of his ornament
<05716>_,
he set
<07760> (8804)
it in majesty
<01347>_:
but they made
<06213> (8804)
the images
<06754>
of their abominations
<08441>
[and] of their detestable things
<08251>
therein: therefore have I set
<05414> (8804)
it far
<05079>
from them. {set it far...: or, made it unto them an unclean thing}
And I will give
<05414> (8804)
it into the hands
<03027>
of the strangers
<02114> (8801)
for a prey
<0957>_,
and to the wicked
<07563>
of the earth
<0776>
for a spoil
<07998>_;
and they shall pollute
<02490> (8765)
it.
My face
<06440>
will I turn
<05437> (8689)
also from them, and they shall pollute
<02490> (8765)
my secret
<06845> (8803)
[place]: for the robbers
<06530>
shall enter
<0935> (8804)
into it, and defile
<02490> (8765)
it. {robbers: or, burglers}
Make
<06213> (8798)
a chain
<07569>_:
for the land
<0776>
is full
<04390> (8804)
of bloody
<01818>
crimes
<04941>_,
and the city
<05892>
is full
<04390> (8804)
of violence
<02555>_.
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}
Destruction
<07089>
cometh
<0935> (8804)_;
and they shall seek
<01245> (8765)
peace
<07965>_,
and [there shall be] none. {Destruction: Heb. Cutting off}
Mischief
<01943>
shall come
<0935> (8799)
upon mischief
<01943>_,
and rumour
<08052>
shall be upon rumour
<08052>_;
then shall they seek
<01245> (8765)
a vision
<02377>
of the prophet
<05030>_;
but the law
<08451>
shall perish
<06> (8799)
from the priest
<03548>_,
and counsel
<06098>
from the ancients
<02205>_.
The king
<04428>
shall mourn
<056> (8691)_,
and the prince
<05387>
shall be clothed
<03847> (8799)
with desolation
<08077>_,
and the hands
<03027>
of the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>
shall be troubled
<0926> (8735)_:
I will do
<06213> (8799)
unto them after their way
<01870>_,
and according to their deserts
<04941>
will I judge
<08199> (8799)
them; and they shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.
{according...: Heb. with their judgments}
And it came to pass in the sixth
<08345>
year
<08141>_,
in the sixth
<08345>
[month], in the fifth
<02568>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
[as] I sat
<03427> (8802)
in mine house
<01004>_,
and the elders
<02205>
of Judah
<03063>
sat
<03427> (8802)
before
<06440>
me, that the hand
<03027>
of the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
fell
<05307> (8799)
there upon me.
Then I beheld
<07200> (8799)_,
and lo a likeness
<01823>
as the appearance
<04758>
of fire
<0784>_:
from the appearance
<04758>
of his loins
<04975>
even downward
<04295>_,
fire
<0784>_;
and from his loins
<04975>
even upward
<04605>_,
as the appearance
<04758>
of brightness
<02096>_,
as the colour
<05869>
of amber
<02830>_.
And he put forth
<07971> (8799)
the form
<08403>
of an hand
<03027>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
me by a lock
<06734>
of mine head
<07218>_;
and the spirit
<07307>
lifted me up
<05375> (8799)
between the earth
<0776>
and the heaven
<08064>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
me in the visions
<04759>
of God
<0430>
to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
to the door
<06607>
of the inner
<06442>
gate
<08179>
that looketh
<06437> (8802)
toward the north
<06828>_;
where [was] the seat
<04186>
of the image
<05566>
of jealousy
<07068>_,
which provoketh to jealousy
<07069> (8688)_.
And, behold, the glory
<03519>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
[was] there, according to the vision
<04758>
that I saw
<07200> (8804)
in the plain
<01237>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
he unto me, Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
lift up
<05375> (8798)
thine eyes
<05869>
now the way
<01870>
toward the north
<06828>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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.
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>_.
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)_.
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>_.
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)_.
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>_.
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.
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>_.
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}
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.
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>_.
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}
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>_;
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}
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}
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}
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>_.
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>_?
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}
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>_.
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}
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>_.
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}
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>_.
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}
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)_.
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>_.
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}
And there appeared
<07200> (8735)
in the cherubims
<03742>
the form
<08403>
of a man's
<0120>
hand
<03027>
under their wings
<03671>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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)_.
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}
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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.
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_:
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}
Therefore prophesy
<05012> (8734)
against them, prophesy
<05012> (8734)_,
O son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_.
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.
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>_.
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.
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>_.
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.
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>_.
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>_:
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}
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>_?
Again the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
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>_.
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)_.
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>_.
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.
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>_:
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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.
Then I spake
<01696> (8762)
unto them of the captivity
<01473>
all the things
<01697>
that the LORD
<03068>
had shewed
<07200> (8689)
me.
The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
also came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
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>_.
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}
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}
Dig
<02864> (8798)
thou through the wall
<07023>
in their sight
<05869>_,
and carry out
<03318> (8689)
thereby. {Dig...: Heb. Dig for thee}
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>_.
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}
And in the morning
<01242>
came the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
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?
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.
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}
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>_.
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.
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.
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>_.
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}
Moreover the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came to me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
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>_;
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}
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>_.
And the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
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)_?
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>_.
For there shall be no more any vain
<07723>
vision
<02377>
nor flattering
<02509>
divination
<04738>
within
<08432>
the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_.
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>_.
Again the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came to me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
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.
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>_.
And the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
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}
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}
O Israel
<03478>_,
thy prophets
<05030>
are like the foxes
<07776>
in the deserts
<02723>_.
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}
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>_.
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)_?
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>_.
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}
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}
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].
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]?
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].
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>_.
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;
[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>_.
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,
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> (0)
the souls
<05315>
alive
<02421> (8762)
[that come] unto you? {armholes: or, elbows}
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> (0)
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>_?
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}
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>_.
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}
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>_.
Then came
<0935> (8799)
certain
<0582>
of the elders
<02205>
of Israel
<03478>
unto me, and sat
<03427> (8799)
before
<06440>
me.
And the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
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?
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>_;
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>_.
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}
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:
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>_.
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>_.
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];
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>_.
The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came again to me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
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:
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>_.
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}
[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}
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:
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.
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>_:
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>_.
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}
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.
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>_.
And the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
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>_?
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?
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?}
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}
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>_.
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.
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}
Again the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
cause Jerusalem
<03389>
to know
<03045> (8685)
her abominations
<08441>_,
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}
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}
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)_.
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}
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}
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.
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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.
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].
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}
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.
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}
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}
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?
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>_.
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>;)
[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}
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>_.
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)_.
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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>_;
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}
[But as] a wife
<0802>
that committeth adultery
<05003> (8764)_,
[which] taketh
<03947> (8799)
strangers
<02114> (8801)
instead of her husband
<0376>_!
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}
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>_.
Wherefore, O harlot
<02181> (8802)_,
hear
<08085> (8798)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
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;
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>_.
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}
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}
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>_.
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.
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)_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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}
[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>_.
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>_.
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].
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)_.
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>_.
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:
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.
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>_.
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}
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}
Thou hast borne
<05375> (8804)
thy lewdness
<02154>
and thine abominations
<08441>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{borne: Heb. borne them}
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
And I will establish
<06965> (8689)
my covenant
<01285>
with thee; and thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_:
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>_.
And the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
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>_;
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}
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)_.
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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.
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>_.
Moreover the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
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>_;
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}
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}
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)_?
[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)_.
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>_:
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)_.
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>_.
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.
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].
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)_:
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)_.
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].
The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me again, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
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)_?
[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>_.
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)_.
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}
[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>_,
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>_;
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>_,
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>_.
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}
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>_,
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>_,
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}
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>_,
[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>_,
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}
[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)_.
[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>_.
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)_.
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.
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)_.
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)_.
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)_?
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)_.
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)_?
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)_.
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> (0)
his soul
<05315>
alive
<02421> (8762)_.
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)_.
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)_?
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}
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>_?
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}
Moreover take thou up
<05375> (8798)
a lamentation
<07015>
for the princes
<05387>
of Israel
<03478>_,
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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>_.
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}
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}
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>_.
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.
And now she [is] planted
<08362> (8803)
in the wilderness
<04057>_,
in a dry
<06723>
and thirsty
<06772>
ground
<0776>_.
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>_.
