Then
the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the
house of
the
LORD
that
faces
east.
And there
at the entrance
of the gate were
twenty-five men .
Among
them
I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, who
were
leaders
of the people.
Moreover
the Spirit lifted me up ,
and brought me to the east
gate of Yahweh's
house ,
which
looks
eastward:
and see,
at the door
of the gate twenty-five men ;
and
I saw in
the
midst
of
them
Jaazaniah the
son of Azzur ,
and Pelatiah the
son of Benaiah, princes
of the people.
And
the
LORD
said to me, “
Son of man, these are the men who plot
evil
and give wicked counsel in this city .
He
said to me, Son of man, these are the men who devise
iniquity,
and who
give wicked counsel in this city ;
They
are
saying
, ‘Is
not
the time near to build houses ?
The
city is the cooking
pot
, and we are the meat
. ’
who
say
, [
The time ]
is
not
near to build houses :
this
[
city ]
is the caldron
, and we are the flesh
.
Therefore prophesy against them ;
prophesy, O
son of man !”
Therefore prophesy against them ,
prophesy, son of man .
And
the Spirit of the
LORD
fell upon
me and told
me
to declare
that
this
is
what
the
LORD
says: “That
is
what
you are
thinking
, O
house of Israel; and
I know the thoughts
that arise
in
your minds
.
The Spirit of Yahweh
fell on
me ,
and he
said
to me,
Speak,
Thus
says Yahweh
: Thus
have
you said
, house of Israel; for
I know the things
that come
into
your mind
.
You have multiplied those
you
killed
in this city and filled its
streets with the dead
.
You have multiplied your
slain
in this city ,
and you
have
filled the
streets of
it
with the slain
.
Therefore this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: The
slain you have laid within
this
city
are the meat
, and the
city is the pot
; but I
will
remove
you from
it.
Therefore thus
says
the Lord Yahweh
: Your
slain whom
you have laid in
the
midst
of
it,
they
are the flesh
, and this
[
city ]
is the caldron
; but you shall
be
brought
forth
out
of
the
midst
of
it.
You fear
the sword ,
so
I will bring the sword against
you, declares
the Lord GOD
.
You have
feared
the sword ;
and
I will bring the sword on
you, says
the Lord Yahweh
.
I will bring you out of the city
and deliver you into the hands of foreigners
, and I
will execute judgments against
you.
I will bring you forth
out of the midst
of
it,
and deliver you into the hands of strangers
, and will execute judgments among
you.
You will
fall by the sword ,
and
I will judge you even
to
the borders
of Israel .
Then
you will
know that I am the
LORD
.
You shall
fall by the sword ;
I will judge you in
the border
of Israel ;
and
you shall
know that I am Yahweh
.
The
city will
not be a
pot
for
you
, nor
will
you be the meat
within
it .
I will judge you even
to
the borders
of Israel .
This
[
city ]
shall
not be your
caldron
, neither
shall
you be the flesh
in
the
midst
of
it ;
I will judge you in
the border
of Israel ;
Then
you will
know that I am the
LORD.
For you have neither
followed
My statutes nor
practiced
My ordinances, but you
have conformed
to
the ordinances of the nations around
you. ”
and
you shall
know that I am Yahweh:
for you have not
walked
in
my statutes ,
neither
have
you
executed
my ordinances, but have done
after
the ordinances of the nations that
are
round
about
you.
Now
as
I was
prophesying
, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I
fell facedown
and cried out
in
a loud voice, “Oh
, Lord GOD,
will You bring
the remnant of Israel to
a
complete
end
? ”
It
happened,
when
I prophesied
, that
Pelatiah the
son of Benaiah died. Then fell I
down
on
my
face,
and cried with
a loud voice, and
said
, Ah
Lord Yahweh!
will you make
a
full
end
of
the remnant of Israel?
Then
the word of the
LORD
came to me, saying,
The word of Yahweh
came to me, saying,
“
Son of man, your brothers —
your relatives
, your fellow
exiles
, and the whole
house of Israel —are
those
of whom the people
of Jerusalem have said, ‘They
are
far away
from the
LORD
; this land has
been
given to
us
as
a possession. ’
Son of man, your brothers ,
even
your brothers
, the
men
of
your relatives
, and all
the house of Israel ,
all
of them,
[are
they]
to
whom the inhabitants
of Jerusalem have said, Get
you
far from Yahweh
; to
us
is
this land given for
a possession.
Therefore declare
that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘Although
I sent
them far away
among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for
a
little
while
I have
been
a sanctuary for them
in the countries to
which
they have
gone
. ’
Therefore say,
Thus
says
the Lord Yahweh
: Whereas
I have
removed
them far off
among the nations ,
and whereas
I
have
scattered them among the countries, yet will
I be
to
them
a sanctuary for a
little
while
in the countries where
they are
come
.
Therefore declare
that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘
I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you from
the countries to
which
you have been scattered, and I will give back
to
you the land of Israel. ’
Therefore say,
Thus
says
the Lord Yahweh
: I will gather you from the peoples ,
and assemble you out
of
the countries where
you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
When
they return
to
it
, they will
remove
all its
detestable things and all its
abominations.
They shall
come
there
, and
they shall
take
away
all the
detestable things of
it
and all the
abominations of
it
from
there
.
And
I will give them singleness
of
heart and put a new spirit within them
; I will remove
their
heart of stone
and give them a heart of flesh ,
I will give them one
heart ,
and I
will
put a new spirit within you
; and
I will take
the
stony
heart out
of their
flesh,
and will
give them a heart of flesh ;
so
that they may follow
My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice
them .
Then
they will
be My people, and I will be their God.
that they may walk
in
my statutes, and
keep my ordinances, and do
them :
and
they shall
be my people, and I will be their God.
But as for those
whose hearts
pursue
detestable things and abominations, I will bring their conduct
down
upon
their own heads, declares
the Lord GOD
. ”
But as for them
whose heart
walks
after
the
heart
of
their
detestable things and their
abominations, I will bring their way
on
their own heads, says
the Lord Yahweh
.
Then the cherubim, with
the wheels beside them ,
spread
their
wings,
and the glory of the God of Israel was above
them.
Then did
the cherubim lift
up
their
wings
, and
the wheels were
beside them ;
and the glory of the God of Israel was over
them above
.
And
the glory of the
LORD
rose
up from within
the city and stood over
the mountain east of the city.
The glory of Yahweh
went
up from the midst
of
the
city ,
and stood on
the mountain which
is
on
the
east side
of the city.
And
the Spirit lifted me up and carried
me back
to
Chaldea,
to
the
exiles
in the vision given
by the Spirit of God. After
the vision had gone
up from me ,
The Spirit lifted me up ,
and brought
me in the vision by the Spirit of God into
Chaldea,
to
them
of
the
captivity
. So
the vision that
I
had seen
went
up from me .
I told
the exiles
everything
the LORD
had shown me.
Then
I spoke
to
them
of
the captivity
all
the things
that
Yahweh
had shown me.
