Berean Standard Bible
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.
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 He
saith
unto
me, `
Son of man, these `
are '
the men who are
devising
iniquity,
and
who
are
giving
evil counsel in this city ;
And the
LORD
said
to
me, “
Son of man, these are the men who plot
evil and
give
wicked
counsel in this city .
who
are saying, It
`
is '
not near --
to build houses ,
it
`
is '
the pot, and we the flesh
.
They
are saying, ‘
Is not the
time
near to build houses ?
The
city
is the cooking
pot, and we are
the meat
. ’
Therefore prophesy concerning
them ,
prophesy, son of man .'
Therefore prophesy against
them ;
prophesy, O
son of man !”
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
.
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
.
Ye
multiplied your
wounded
in this city ,
And filled its out-places
with the wounded
.
You
have
multiplied those
you
killed
in this city and filled its streets
with the dead
.
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
.
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
.
A
sword ye
have
feared
, And
a
sword
I bring in
against you, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
.
You
fear
the
sword, so
I will
bring the
sword
against you, declares
the Lord GOD
.
And
I have
brought
you out of its
midst,
And given
you into the hand
of strangers
, And I have
done
among
you
judgments.
I will
bring
you out of the
city
and deliver
you into the hands
of foreigners
, and I will
execute
judgments against
you
.
By the sword ye
do
fall
, On
the border
of Israel I
do
judge
you ,
And
ye
have
known
that I `
am '
Jehovah
.
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
.
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.
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
.
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!'
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
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 .'
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
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
me, saying,
Then
the
word of the
LORD
came
to
me, saying,
`
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
;
“
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.’
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
: ‘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
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.
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. ’
And
they have
gone
in
thither.
And
turned
aside
all its detestable things ,
And all its abominations --
out
of
it
.
When
they return
to
it,
they
will
remove
all its detestable things and all its abominations.
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 .
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 ,
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.
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.
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
. '
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
. ”
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.
Then
the cherubim
, with
the wheels beside
them, spread
their
wings,
and the glory
of the God of Israel was
above them
.
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 glory
of the
LORD
rose
up from within
the city and stood
over
the mountain east of the city.
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;
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
I speak
unto
the Removed
all
the matters
of
Jehovah
that
He
hath
shewed
me.
I told
the exiles
everything
the LORD
had
shown
me.
