Young's Literal Translation
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.
And
lift
me up doth
a
spirit,
and it
bringeth
me in
unto
the east
gate of the house of Jehovah,
that is
facing
the
east ,
and lo,
at the opening
of the gate twenty and
five men ,
and
I see
in
their
midst
Jaazaniah son of Azzur ,
and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, heads
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 .
And He
saith
unto
me, `
Son of man, these `
are '
the men who are
devising
iniquity,
and who
are
giving
evil
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
are saying, It
`
is '
not near --
to build houses ,
it
`
is '
the pot, and we the flesh
.
Therefore prophesy against
them ;
prophesy, O
son of man !”
Therefore prophesy concerning
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
.
And fall
upon
me
doth
the Spirit of Jehovah,
and He
saith
unto
me ,
`Say
: Thus
said
Jehovah:
Rightly
ye
have
said
, O house of Israel ,
And the steps
of
your spirit
I
have
known
.
You
have
multiplied those
you
killed
in this city and filled its streets
with the dead
.
Ye
multiplied your
wounded
in this city ,
And filled its out-places
with the wounded
.
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
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Your
wounded
whom
ye
placed
in
its
midst,
They
`
are '
the flesh
, and it
`
is '
the pot ,
And
you he
hath
brought
out
from its
midst
.
You
fear
the
sword, so
I will
bring the
sword
against you, declares
the Lord GOD
.
A
sword ye
have
feared
, And
a
sword
I bring in
against you, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
.
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 have
brought
you out of its
midst,
And given
you into the hand
of strangers
, And I have
done
among
you judgments
.
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
.
By the sword ye
do
fall
, On
the border
of Israel I
do
judge
you ,
And
ye
have
known
that I `
am '
Jehovah
.
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
.
It
is
not to
you
for
a pot, Nor are
ye
in
its
midst
for
flesh,
At
the border
of
Israel
I do
judge you.
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
have
known
that I `
am '
Jehovah,
For in
My statutes ye
have
not
walked
, And
My
Judgments
ye
have not
done,
And
according
to the judgments
of the nations Who
are
round
about
you --
ye
have
done!'
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
cometh
to
pass,
at
my
prophesying, that
Pelatiah son of Benaiah is
dying,
and
I fall
on
my
face,
and cry
--
a loud voice --
and
say
, `Ah
, Lord Jehovah
, an
end
Thou
art
making
of
the remnant of Israel .'
Then
the
word of the
LORD
came
to
me, saying,
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
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
, thy
brethren
, men
of
thy
kindred,
and all
the house of Israel --
all
of it,
`are'
they
to
whom inhabitants
of Jerusalem have said, Keep
far off
from Jehovah
;
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. ’
it
`
is '
ours,
the land
hath
been
given
for
an
inheritance;
therefore
say:
Thus
said
the
Lord Jehovah
: Because
I put
them afar
off
among nations ,
And because
I
scattered them through
lands
, I
also
am
to
them
for a little sanctuary ,
In lands
whither
they have gone in
.
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
said
the Lord Jehovah
: And
I have
assembled
you from the peoples ,
And I
have
gathered
you from the lands,
Into
which ye
have been scattered, And I have
given
to you the ground
of Israel.
When
they
return
to
it,
they will
remove
all its detestable things and all its abominations.
And
they have
gone
in
thither.
And
turned
aside
all its detestable things ,
And all its abominations --
out
of
it
.
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 have
given
to
them one
heart ,
And a new spirit I do
give
in
your
midst,
And
I
have
turned
the
heart of stone out
of
their
flesh,
And I
have
given
to
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.
So that in
My statutes they
walk
, And
My judgments
they
keep
, and have
done
them ,
And
they have
been
to
me
for
a
people, And I am
to
them
for
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
. ”
As to
those whose heart
is
going
unto
the
heart
Of
their
detestable and their
abominable
things
, Their way
on
their head
I
have
put
, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
. '
Then
the cherubim
, with
the wheels beside
them, spread
their
wings,
and the glory
of the God of Israel was
above
them.
And
the cherubs
lift
up
their
wings
, and
the wheels `are'
over-against
them, and the honour
of the God of Israel `is'
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 honour
of Jehovah
goeth
up from off
the midst
of
the
city ,
and standeth
on
the mountain ,
that
`is'
on
the
east 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 ,
And a
spirit hath
lifted me up ,
and bringeth
me in
to Chaldea, unto
the Removed,
in a
vision ,
by the Spirit of God ,
and
go
up from off
me doth
the
vision
that
I
have
seen;
I told
the exiles
everything
the LORD
had
shown
me.
and
I speak
unto
the Removed
all
the matters
of
Jehovah
that
He
hath
shewed
me.
