King James Version
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 unto
the east
gate of the LORD's
house ,
which
looketh
eastward:
and behold
at the door
of the gate five and
twenty
men ;
among whom
I saw Jaazaniah the
son of Azur,
and Pelatiah the
son of Benaiah, princes
of the people.
And
the
LORD
said to
me, “
Son of man, these are the men who
plot
evil
and give wicked counsel in this city .
Then
said he
unto
me, Son of man, these are the men that
devise
mischief,
and 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
. ’
Which
say
, It
is not near ;
let
us
build houses :
this
city is the caldron
, and we be
the flesh
.
Therefore prophesy against them ;
prophesy, O son of man !”
Therefore prophesy against them ,
prophesy, O 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
.
And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me ,
and said
unto
me ,
Speak;
Thus
saith
the LORD ;
Thus
have
ye
said
, O house of Israel :
for
I know the things
that come
into
your mind,
every
one
of
them
.
You
have multiplied those
you
killed
in this city and filled its
streets with the dead
.
Ye
have multiplied your
slain
in this city ,
and ye
have
filled the
streets thereof
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
saith
the Lord GOD ;
Your
slain whom
ye
have laid in
the
midst
of
it,
they
are the flesh
, and this
city is the caldron:
but I will bring
you forth
out
of
the
midst
of
it.
You
fear
the sword ,
so
I will bring the
sword against
you, declares
the Lord GOD.
Ye
have
feared
the sword ;
and
I will bring a
sword upon
you, saith
the Lord GOD.
I will bring you out of the city
and deliver you into the hands of foreigners
, and I
will execute judgments against
you.
And
I will bring you out of the midst
thereof,
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.
Ye
shall
fall by the sword ;
I will judge you in
the border
of Israel ;
and
ye
shall
know that I am the LORD.
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
ye
be the flesh
in
the
midst
thereof;
but
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
ye
shall
know that I am the LORD :
for ye
have not
walked
in
my statutes ,
neither
executed
my judgments
, but have done
after
the manners
of the heathen
that
are
round
about
you.
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
? ”
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
I prophesied
, that
Pelatiah the
son of Benaiah died. Then fell I
down
upon
my
face,
and cried with
a loud voice, and
said
, Ah
Lord GOD !
wilt
thou
make
a
full
end
of
the remnant of Israel?
Then
the word of the LORD came to
me, saying,
Again
the word of the LORD came unto
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, thy
brethren
, even
thy
brethren
, the
men
of
thy
kindred,
and all
the house of Israel wholly,
are they
unto
whom the inhabitants
of Jerusalem have said, Get
you
far from the LORD :
unto
us
is
this land given in
possession.
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
saith
the Lord GOD ;
Although I have
cast
them far off
among the heathen,
and although
I
have
scattered them among the countries, yet will
I be
to
them
as
a little
sanctuary in the countries where
they shall
come
.
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
saith
the Lord GOD ;
I will even
gather you from the people,
and assemble you out
of
the countries where
ye
have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
When
they return
to
it
, they will
remove
all its
detestable things and all its
abominations.
And
they shall
come
thither
, and
they shall
take
away
all the
detestable things thereof
and all the
abominations thereof
from
thence
.
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 ,
And I will give them one
heart ,
and I
will
put a new spirit within you
; and
I will take
the
stony
heart out
of their
flesh,
and will
give them an
heart of flesh :
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 mine
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
walketh
after
the
heart
of
their
detestable things and their
abominations, I will recompense
their way
upon their own heads, saith
the Lord GOD.
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 cherubims
lift
up
their
wings
, and
the wheels 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.
And the glory of the LORD went
up from the midst
of
the
city ,
and stood upon
the mountain which
is
on
the
east side
of the city.
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 ,
Afterwards
the spirit took
me up ,
and brought
me in a
vision by the Spirit of God into
Chaldea,
to
them
of
the
captivity
. So
the vision that
I
had seen
went
up from me .
I told
the exiles
everything
the LORD had shown
me.
Then
I spake
unto
them
of
the captivity
all
the things
that
the
LORD had shewed
me.
