Ezekiel 1:1 ¶Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
{Ezekiel 1:2} In the fifth [day] of the month, which [was] the
fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity, {Ezekiel 1:3} The word of the LORD
came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of
the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there
upon him. {Ezekiel 1:4} And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the
north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness
[was] about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber,
out of the midst of the fire.

{Ezekiel 1:5} Also out of the midst thereof
[came] the likeness of four living creatures. And this [was] their
appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
{Ezekiel 1:6} And every one had
four faces, and every one had four wings.
{Ezekiel 1:7} And their feet [were]
straight feet; and the sole of their feet [was] like the sole of a
calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.
{Ezekiel 1:8} And [they had] the hands of a man under their wings on their four
sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
{Ezekiel 1:9} Their wings
[were] joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went
every one straight forward.

Ezekiel 1:10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
{Ezekiel 1:11} Thus [were] their faces: and
their wings [were] stretched upward; two [wings] of every one [were]
joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
{Ezekiel 1:12} And they
went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they
went; [and] they turned not when they went.
{Ezekiel 1:13} As for the likeness
of the living creatures, their appearance [was] like burning coals of
fire, [and] like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the
living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went
forth lightning.
{Ezekiel 1:14} And the living creatures ran and returned as
the appearance of a flash of lightning.
{Ezekiel 1:15} Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon
the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
{Ezekiel 1:16} The
appearance of the wheels and their work [was] like unto the colour of a
beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their
work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
{Ezekiel 1:17} When they
went, they went upon their four sides: [and] they turned not when they
went.
{Ezekiel 1:18} As for their rings, they were so high that they were
dreadful; and their rings [were] full of eyes round about them four.
{Ezekiel 1:19} And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and
when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels
were lifted up.

{Ezekiel 1:20} Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went,
thither [was their] spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over
against them: for the spirit of the living creature [was] in the
wheels. {Ezekiel 1:21} When those went, [these] went; and when those stood,
[these] stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels
were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature
[was] in the wheels.

{Ezekiel 1:22} And the likeness of the firmament upon the
heads of the living creature [was] as the colour of the terrible
crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.

{Ezekiel 1:23} And under the
firmament [were] their wings straight, the one toward the other: every
one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which
covered on that side, their bodies. {Ezekiel 1:24} And when they went, I heard
the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice
of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when
they stood, they let down their wings. {Ezekiel 1:25} And there was a voice
from the firmament that [was] over their heads, when they stood, and
had let down their wings.

{Ezekiel 1:26} And above the firmament that [was] over their heads [was] the
likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon
the likeness of the throne [was] the likeness as the appearance of a
man above upon it. {Ezekiel 1:27} And I saw as the colour of amber, as the
appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his
loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward,
I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round
about. {Ezekiel 1:28} As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the
day of rain, so [was] the appearance of the brightness round about.
This [was] the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And
when I saw [it,] I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that
spake.

{Ezekiel 2:1} And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I
will speak unto thee. {Ezekiel 2:2} And the spirit entered into me when he
spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake
unto me. {Ezekiel 2:3} And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the
children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against
me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, [even] unto
this very day. {Ezekiel 2:4} For [they are] impudent children and stiffhearted.
I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the
Lord GOD. {Ezekiel 2:5} And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will
forbear, (for they [are] a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there
hath been a prophet among them.

{Ezekiel 2:6} And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid
of their words, though briers and thorns [be] with thee, and thou dost
dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at
their looks, though they [be] a rebellious house. {Ezekiel 2:7} And thou shalt
speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will
forbear: for they [are] most rebellious. {Ezekiel 2:8} But thou, son of man,
hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious
house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.

{Ezekiel 2:9} And when I looked, behold, an hand [was] sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book [was] therein;
{Ezekiel 2:10} And he spread it before me; and it [was] written within and without: and [there was] written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
{Ezekiel 3:1} Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
{Ezekiel 3:2} So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
{Ezekiel 3:3} And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat [it;] and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

{Ezekiel 3:4} And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house
of Israel, and speak with my words unto them. {Ezekiel 3:5} For thou [art] not
sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, [but] to
the house of Israel; {Ezekiel 3:6} Not to many people of a strange speech and
of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had
I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee. {Ezekiel 3:7} But the
house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken
unto me: for all the house of Israel [are] impudent and hardhearted.
{Ezekiel 3:8} Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy
forehead strong against their foreheads.

{Ezekiel 3:9} As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they [be] a rebellious house.

{Ezekiel 3:10} Moreover he
said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee
receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears. {Ezekiel 3:11} And go, get
thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and
speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they
will hear, or whether they will forbear. {Ezekiel 3:12} Then the spirit took me
up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, [saying,] Blessed
[be] the glory of the LORD from his place. {Ezekiel 3:13} [I heard] also the
noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another,
and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a great
rushing. {Ezekiel 3:14} So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I
went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD
was strong upon me.

{Ezekiel 3:15} Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt
by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there
astonished among them seven days. {Ezekiel 3:16} And it came to pass at the end
of seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 3:17}
Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel:
therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
{Ezekiel 3:18} When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou
givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked
way, to save his life; the same wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity;
but his blood will I require at thine hand. {Ezekiel 3:19} Yet if thou warn the
wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way,
he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. {Ezekiel 3:20}
Again, When a righteous [man] doth turn from his righteousness, and
commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die:
because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and
his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his
blood will I require at thine hand. {Ezekiel 3:21} Nevertheless if thou warn
the righteous [man,] that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin,
he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered
thy soul.

{Ezekiel 3:22} And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said unto
me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.
{Ezekiel 3:23} Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the
glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of
Chebar: and I fell on my face. {Ezekiel 3:24} Then the spirit entered into me,
and set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut
thyself within thine house. {Ezekiel 3:25} But thou, O son of man, behold, they
shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou
shalt not go out among them: {Ezekiel 3:26} And I will make thy tongue cleave
to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to
them a reprover: for they [are] a rebellious house. {Ezekiel 3:27} But when I
speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them,
Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that
forbeareth, let him forbear: for they [are] a rebellious house.

{Ezekiel 4:1} Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before
thee, and pourtray upon it the city, [even] Jerusalem: {Ezekiel 4:2} And lay
siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against
it; set the camp also against it, and set [battering] rams against it
round about. {Ezekiel 4:3} Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it
for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against
it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This
[shall be] a sign to the house of Israel. {Ezekiel 4:4} Lie thou also upon thy
left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it:
[according] to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou
shalt bear their iniquity. {Ezekiel 4:5} For I have laid upon thee the years of
their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and
ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
{Ezekiel 4:6} And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right
side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty
days: I have appointed thee each day for a year. {Ezekiel 4:7} Therefore thou
shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm [shall
be] uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it. {Ezekiel 4:8} And, behold, I
will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to
another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.

{Ezekiel 4:9} Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and
lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make
thee bread thereof, [according] to the number of the days that thou
shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat
thereof. {Ezekiel 4:10} And thy meat which thou shalt eat [shall be] by weight,
twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it. {Ezekiel 4:11} Thou
shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time
to time shalt thou drink. {Ezekiel 4:12} And thou shalt eat it [as] barley
cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in
their sight. {Ezekiel 4:13} And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of
Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive
them. {Ezekiel 4:14} Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been
polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that
which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there
abominable flesh into my mouth. {Ezekiel 4:15} Then he said unto me, Lo, I have
given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread
therewith. {Ezekiel 4:16} Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will
break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by
weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with
astonishment: {Ezekiel 4:17} That they may want bread and water, and be
astonied one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.

{Ezekiel 5:1} And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a
barber's razor, and cause [it] to pass upon thine head and upon thy
beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the [hair. ]{Ezekiel 5:2}
Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when
the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part,
[and] smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter
in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them. {Ezekiel 5:3} Thou shalt
also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts. {Ezekiel 5:4}
Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and
burn them in the fire; [for] thereof shall a fire come forth into all
the house of Israel.

{Ezekiel 5:5} Thus saith the Lord GOD; This [is] Jerusalem: I have set it in
the midst of the nations and countries [that are] round about her.
{Ezekiel 5:6} And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the
nations, and my statutes more than the countries that [are] round about
her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not
walked in them. {Ezekiel 5:7} Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye
multiplied more than the nations that [are] round about you, [and] have
not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have
done according to the judgments of the nations that [are] round about
you; {Ezekiel 5:8} Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, [am]
against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the
sight of the nations. {Ezekiel 5:9} And I will do in thee that which I have not
done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all
thine abominations. {Ezekiel 5:10} Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in
the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will
execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter
into all the winds. {Ezekiel 5:11} Wherefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD;
Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable
things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish
[thee;] neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.

{Ezekiel 5:12} A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with
famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part
shall fall by the sword round about thee and I will scatter a third
part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them. {Ezekiel 5:13}
Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest
upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD
have spoken [it] in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.
{Ezekiel 5:14} Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the
nations that [are] round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
{Ezekiel 5:15} So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an
astonishment unto the nations that [are] round about thee, when I shall
execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes.
I the LORD have spoken [it. ]{Ezekiel 5:16} When I shall send upon them the
evil arrows of famine, which shall be for [their] destruction, [and]
which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon
you, and will break your staff of bread: {Ezekiel 5:17} So will I send upon you
famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and
blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I
the LORD have spoken [it.

]{Ezekiel 6:1} And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 6:2} Son of
man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against
them, {Ezekiel 6:3} And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord
GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the
rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, [even] I, will bring a sword
upon you, and I will destroy your high places. {Ezekiel 6:4} And your altars
shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I will cast
down your slain [men] before your idols. {Ezekiel 6:5} And I will lay the dead
carcases of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will
scatter your bones round about your altars. {Ezekiel 6:6} In all your
dwellingplaces the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places
shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made
desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images may
be cut down, and your works may be abolished. {Ezekiel 6:7} And the slain shall
fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

{Ezekiel 6:8} Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have [some] that shall
escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through
the countries. {Ezekiel 6:9} And they that escape of you shall remember me
among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am
broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with
their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe
themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their
abominations. {Ezekiel 6:10} And they shall know that I [am] the LORD, [and
that] I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.

{Ezekiel 6:11} Thus saith the Lord GOD; Smite with thine hand, and stamp
with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house
of Israel! for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the
pestilence. {Ezekiel 6:12} He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and
he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is
besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon
them. {Ezekiel 6:13} Then shall ye know that I [am] the LORD, when their slain
[men] shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every
high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green
tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet
savour to all their idols. {Ezekiel 6:14} So will I stretch out my hand upon
them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the
wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall
know that I [am] the LORD.

{Ezekiel 7:1} Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 7:2}
Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel;
An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land. {Ezekiel 7:3} Now
[is] the end [come] upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee,
and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon
thee all thine abominations. {Ezekiel 7:4} And mine eye shall not spare thee,
neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and
thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know
that I [am] the LORD. {Ezekiel 7:5} Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only
evil, behold, is come. {Ezekiel 7:6} An end is come, the end is come: it
watcheth for thee; behold, it is come. {Ezekiel 7:7} The morning is come unto
thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of
trouble [is] near, and not the sounding again of the mountains. {Ezekiel 7:8}
Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine
anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will
recompense thee for all thine abominations. {Ezekiel 7:9} And mine eye shall
not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according
to thy ways and thine abominations [that] are in the midst of thee; and
ye shall know that I [am] the LORD that smiteth. {Ezekiel 7:10} Behold the day,
behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed,
pride hath budded. {Ezekiel 7:11} Violence is risen up into a rod of
wickedness: none of them [shall remain,] nor of their multitude, nor of
any of theirs: neither [shall there be] wailing for them. {Ezekiel 7:12} The
time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the
seller mourn: for wrath [is] upon all the multitude thereof. {Ezekiel 7:13} For
the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were
yet alive: for the vision [is] touching the whole multitude thereof,
[which] shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the
iniquity of his life. {Ezekiel 7:14} They have blown the trumpet, even to make
all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath [is] upon all the
multitude thereof. {Ezekiel 7:15} The sword [is] without, and the pestilence
and the famine within: he that [is] in the field shall die with the
sword; and he that [is] in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour
him.

{Ezekiel 7:16} But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on
the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every
one for his iniquity. {Ezekiel 7:17} All hands shall be feeble, and all knees
shall be weak [as] water. {Ezekiel 7:18} They shall also gird [themselves] with
sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame [shall be] upon all
faces, and baldness upon all their heads. {Ezekiel 7:19} They shall cast their
silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver
and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the
wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill
their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

{Ezekiel 7:20} As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but
they made the images of their abominations [and] of their detestable
things therein: therefore have I set it far from them. {Ezekiel 7:21} And I
will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the
wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it. {Ezekiel 7:22} My
face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret
[place:] for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.

{Ezekiel 7:23} Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the
city is full of violence. {Ezekiel 7:24} Wherefore I will bring the worst of
the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the
pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled.
{Ezekiel 7:25} Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and [there shall
be] none. {Ezekiel 7:26} Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be
upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law
shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients. {Ezekiel 7:27} The
king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and
the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto
them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them;
and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

{Ezekiel 8:1} And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth [month,]
in the fifth [day] of the month, [as] I sat in mine house, and the
elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there
upon me. {Ezekiel 8:2} Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of
fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from
his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour
of amber. {Ezekiel 8:3} And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a
lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and
the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the
door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where [was] the
seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy. {Ezekiel 8:4} And,
behold, the glory of the God of Israel [was] there, according to the
vision that I saw in the plain.

{Ezekiel 8:5} Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the
way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the
north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of
jealousy in the entry. {Ezekiel 8:6} He said furthermore unto me, Son of man,
seest thou what they do? [even] the great abominations that the house
of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary?
but turn thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see greater abominations.

{Ezekiel 8:7} And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked,
behold a hole in the wall. {Ezekiel 8:8} Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig
now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
{Ezekiel 8:9} And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations
that they do here. {Ezekiel 8:10} So I went in and saw; and behold every form
of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the
house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about. {Ezekiel 8:11} And there
stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel,
and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every
man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.
{Ezekiel 8:12} Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the
ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the
chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD
hath forsaken the earth.

{Ezekiel 8:13} He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, [and] thou shalt
see greater abominations that they do. {Ezekiel 8:14} Then he brought me to the
door of the gate of the LORD'S house which [was] toward the north; and,
behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.

{Ezekiel 8:15} Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen [this,] O son of man?
turn thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see greater abominations than
these. {Ezekiel 8:16} And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S
house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the
porch and the altar, [were] about five and twenty men, with their backs
toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and
they worshipped the sun toward the east.

{Ezekiel 8:17} Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen [this,] O son of man? Is
it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the
abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with
violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put
the branch to their nose. {Ezekiel 8:18} Therefore will I also deal in fury:
mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry
in mine ears with a loud voice, [yet] will I not hear them.

{Ezekiel 9:1} He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause
them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man [with]
his destroying weapon in his hand. {Ezekiel 9:2} And, behold, six men came from
the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man
a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them [was] clothed
with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and
stood beside the brasen altar. {Ezekiel 9:3} And the glory of the God of Israel
was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the
house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which [had] the
writer's inkhorn by his side;

{Ezekiel 9:4} And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

{Ezekiel 9:5} And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him
through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye
pity: {Ezekiel 9:6} Slay utterly old [and] young, both maids, and little
children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom [is] the mark;
and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which
[were] before the house. {Ezekiel 9:7} And he said unto them, Defile the house,
and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth,
and slew in the city.

{Ezekiel 9:8} And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was
left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt
thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury
upon Jerusalem? {Ezekiel 9:9} Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house
of Israel and Judah [is] exceeding great, and the land is full of
blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath
forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not. {Ezekiel 9:10} And as for me also,
mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, [but] I will
recompense their way upon their head. {Ezekiel 9:11} And, behold, the man
clothed with linen, which [had] the inkhorn by his side, reported the
matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.

Ezekiel 10:1 ¶Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
Ezekiel 10:2 And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.
Ezekiel 10:3 Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
Ezekiel 10:4 Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD'S glory.
Ezekiel 10:5 And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.
Ezekiel 10:6 And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
Ezekiel 10:7 And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.
Ezekiel 10:8 ¶And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under their wings.
Ezekiel 10:9 And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone.
Ezekiel 10:10 And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.
Ezekiel 10:11 When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.
Ezekiel 10:12 And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.
Ezekiel 10:13 As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.
Ezekiel 10:14 And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
Ezekiel 10:15 And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.
Ezekiel 10:16 And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.
Ezekiel 10:17 When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
Ezekiel 10:18 Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.
Ezekiel 10:19 And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD'S house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Ezekiel 10:20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.
Ezekiel 10:21 Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
Ezekiel 10:22 And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.

{Ezekiel 11:1} 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, the princes of the
people. {Ezekiel 11:2} Then said he unto me, Son of man, these [are] the men
that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city: {Ezekiel 11:3}
Which say, [It is] not near; let us build houses: this [city is] the
caldron, and we [be] the flesh.

{Ezekiel 11:4} Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.
{Ezekiel 11:5} 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. {Ezekiel 11:6}
Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the
streets thereof with the slain. {Ezekiel 11:7} 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. {Ezekiel 11:8} Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a
sword upon you, saith the Lord GOD. {Ezekiel 11:9} And I will bring you out of
the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and
will execute judgments among you. {Ezekiel 11:10} Ye shall fall by the sword; I
will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I [am]
the LORD. {Ezekiel 11:11} 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: {Ezekiel 11:12} 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.

{Ezekiel 11:13} 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? {Ezekiel 11:14} Again the word of the LORD came unto me,
saying, {Ezekiel 11:15} 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. {Ezekiel 11:16} 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. {Ezekiel 11:17} 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. {Ezekiel 11:18}
And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the
detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
{Ezekiel 11:19} 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: {Ezekiel 11:20} 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. {Ezekiel 11:21} 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.

{Ezekiel 11:22} 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.
{Ezekiel 11:23} 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.

{Ezekiel 11:24} 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. {Ezekiel 11:25} Then I spake unto them
of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shewed me.

{Ezekiel 12:1} The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,

{Ezekiel 12:2} Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.

{Ezekiel 12:3} Therefore, thou son of man, prepare
thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou
shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be
they will consider, though they [be] a rebellious house. {Ezekiel 12:4} Then
shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for
removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that
go forth into captivity. {Ezekiel 12:5} Dig thou through the wall in their
sight, and carry out thereby. {Ezekiel 12:6} In their sight shalt thou bear
[it] upon [thy] shoulders, [and] carry [it] forth in the twilight: thou
shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee
[for] a sign unto the house of Israel. {Ezekiel 12:7} And I did so as I was
commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and
in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought [it]
forth in the twilight, [and] I bare [it] upon [my] shoulder in their
sight.

{Ezekiel 12:8} And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,
{Ezekiel 12:9} Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house,
said unto thee, What doest thou? {Ezekiel 12:10} Say thou unto them, Thus saith
the Lord GOD; This burden [concerneth] the prince in Jerusalem, and all
the house of Israel that [are] among them. {Ezekiel 12:11} Say, I [am] your
sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall
remove [and] go into captivity. {Ezekiel 12:12} And the prince that [is] among
them shall bear upon [his] shoulder in the twilight, and shall go
forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall
cover his face, that he see not the ground with [his] eyes. {Ezekiel 12:13} My
net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and
I will bring him to Babylon [to] the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall
he not see it, though he shall die there. {Ezekiel 12:14} And I will scatter
toward every wind all that [are] about him to help him, and all his
bands; and I will draw out the sword after them. {Ezekiel 12:15} And they shall
know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations,
and disperse them in the countries.

{Ezekiel 12:16} But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

{Ezekiel 12:17} Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, {Ezekiel 12:18}
Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with
trembling and with carefulness; {Ezekiel 12:19} And say unto the people of the
land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, [and] of
the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and
drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from
all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell
therein. {Ezekiel 12:20} And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste,
and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

{Ezekiel 12:21} And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 12:22} Son
of man, what [is] that proverb [that] ye have in the land of Israel,
saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth? {Ezekiel 12:23} Tell
them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to
cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say
unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
{Ezekiel 12:24} For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering
divination within the house of Israel. {Ezekiel 12:25} For I [am] the LORD: I
will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it
shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will
I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 12:26} Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, {Ezekiel 12:27} Son
of man, behold, [they of] the house of Israel say, The vision that he
seeth [is] for many days [to come,] and he prophesieth of the times
[that are] far off. {Ezekiel 12:28} Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the
Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the
word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 13:1} And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 13:2} Son of
man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say
thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word
of the LORD; {Ezekiel 13:3} Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish
prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! {Ezekiel 13:4} O
Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. {Ezekiel 13:5} Ye have
not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of
Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD. {Ezekiel 13:6} They have
seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD
hath not sent them: and they have made [others] to hope that they would
confirm the word. {Ezekiel 13:7} Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye
not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith [it;]
albeit I have not spoken? {Ezekiel 13:8} Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD;
Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I [am]
against you, saith the Lord GOD. {Ezekiel 13:9} And mine hand shall be upon the
prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in
the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing
of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of
Israel; and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 13:10} Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying,
Peace; and [there was] no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo,
others daubed it with untempered [morter: ]{Ezekiel 13:11} Say unto them which
daub it with untempered [morter,] that it shall fall: there shall be an
overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a
stormy wind shall rend [it. ]{Ezekiel 13:12} Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall
it not be said unto you, Where [is] the daubing wherewith ye have
daubed [it? ]{Ezekiel 13:13} Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even
rend [it] with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an
overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in [my] fury to
consume [it. ]{Ezekiel 13:14} So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed
with untempered [morter,] and bring it down to the ground, so that the
foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall
be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I [am] the
LORD. {Ezekiel 13:15} Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon
them that have daubed it with untempered [morter,] and will say unto
you, The wall [is] no [more,] neither they that daubed it; {Ezekiel 13:16} [To
wit,] the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and
which see visions of peace for her, and [there is] no peace, saith the
Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 13:17} Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the
daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and
prophesy thou against them, {Ezekiel 13:18} And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Woe to the [women] that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs
upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of
my people, and will ye save the souls alive [that come] unto you?
{Ezekiel 13:19} And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley
and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to
save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people
that hear [your] lies? {Ezekiel 13:20} Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold, I [am] against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls
to make [them] fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let
the souls go, [even] the souls that ye hunt to make [them] fly. {Ezekiel 13:21}
Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your
hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall
know that I [am] the LORD. {Ezekiel 13:22} Because with lies ye have made the
heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened
the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way,
by promising him life: {Ezekiel 13:23} Therefore ye shall see no more vanity,
nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand:
and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

{Ezekiel 14:1} Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat
before me. {Ezekiel 14:2} And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 14:3}
Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put
the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be
enquired of at all by them? {Ezekiel 14:4} Therefore speak unto them, and say
unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel
that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock
of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD
will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;
{Ezekiel 14:5} That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because
they are all estranged from me through their idols.

{Ezekiel 14:6} Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord
GOD; Repent, and turn [yourselves] from your idols; and turn away your
faces from all your abominations. {Ezekiel 14:7} For every one of the house of
Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth
himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the
stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet
to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:
{Ezekiel 14:8} And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a
sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people;
and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD. {Ezekiel 14:9} And if the prophet be
deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that
prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him
from the midst of my people Israel. {Ezekiel 14:10} And they shall bear the
punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be
even as the punishment of him that seeketh [unto him; ]{Ezekiel 14:11} That the
house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any
more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and
I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 14:12} The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, {Ezekiel 14:13} Son
of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously,
then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of
the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man
and beast from it: {Ezekiel 14:14} Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and
Job, were in it, they should deliver [but] their own souls by their
righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 14:15} If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they
spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because
of the beasts: {Ezekiel 14:16} [Though] these three men [were] in it, [as] I
live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor
daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.

{Ezekiel 14:17} Or [if] I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go
through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it: {Ezekiel 14:18}
Though these three men [were] in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD,
they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be
delivered themselves.

{Ezekiel 14:19} Or [if] I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my
fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast: {Ezekiel 14:20} Though
Noah, Daniel, and Job, [were] in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD,
they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall [but] deliver
their own souls by their righteousness. {Ezekiel 14:21} For thus saith the Lord
GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem,
the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence,
to cut off from it man and beast?

{Ezekiel 14:22} Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be
brought forth, [both] sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth
unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be
comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem,
[even] concerning all that I have brought upon it. {Ezekiel 14:23} And they
shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye
shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in
it, saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 15:1} And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 15:2} Son of
man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, [or than] a branch which
is among the trees of the forest? {Ezekiel 15:3} Shall wood be taken thereof to
do any work? or will [men] take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
{Ezekiel 15:4} Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devoureth
both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet for
[any] work? {Ezekiel 15:5} Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work:
how much less shall it be meet yet for [any] work, when the fire hath
devoured it, and it is burned?

{Ezekiel 15:6} Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As the vine tree among the
trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I
give the inhabitants of Jerusalem. {Ezekiel 15:7} And I will set my face
against them; they shall go out from [one] fire, and [another] fire
shall devour them; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I set
my face against them. {Ezekiel 15:8} And I will make the land desolate, because
they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 16:1} Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 16:2} Son
of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations, {Ezekiel 16:3} And say, Thus
saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity [is] of
the land of Canaan; thy father [was] an Amorite, and thy mother an
Hittite. {Ezekiel 16:4} And [as for] thy nativity, in the day thou wast born
thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple
[thee;] thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all. {Ezekiel 16:5} None
eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon
thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the lothing of thy
person, in the day that thou wast born.

{Ezekiel 16:6} And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own
blood, I said unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood, Live; yea, I
said unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood, Live. {Ezekiel 16:7} I have
caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast
increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments:
[thy] breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou
[wast] naked and bare. {Ezekiel 16:8} Now when I passed by thee, and looked
upon thee, behold, thy time [was] the time of love; and I spread my
skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and
entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou
becamest mine. {Ezekiel 16:9} Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly
washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil. {Ezekiel 16:10}
I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers'
skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with
silk. {Ezekiel 16:11} I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets
upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck. {Ezekiel 16:12} And I put a jewel on
thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon
thine head. {Ezekiel 16:13} Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy
raiment [was of] fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst
eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful,
and thou didst prosper into a kingdom. {Ezekiel 16:14} And thy renown went
forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it [was] perfect through my
comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD. {Ezekiel 16:15} But
thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because
of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that
passed by; his it was. {Ezekiel 16:16} And of thy garments thou didst take, and
deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot
thereupon: [the like things] shall not come, neither shall it be so.
{Ezekiel 16:17} Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my
silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men,
and didst commit whoredom with them, {Ezekiel 16:18} And tookest thy broidered
garments, and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine
incense before them. {Ezekiel 16:19} My meat also which I gave thee, fine
flour, and oil, and honey, [wherewith] I fed thee, thou hast even set
it before them for a sweet savour: and [thus] it was, saith the Lord
GOD. {Ezekiel 16:20} Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom
thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be
devoured. [Is this] of thy whoredoms a small matter, {Ezekiel 16:21} That thou
hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass
through [the fire] for them? {Ezekiel 16:22} And in all thine abominations and
thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou
wast naked and bare, [and] wast polluted in thy blood. {Ezekiel 16:23} And it
came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the
Lord GOD;) {Ezekiel 16:24} [That] thou hast also built unto thee an eminent
place, and hast made thee an high place in every street. {Ezekiel 16:25} Thou
hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy
beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that
passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms. {Ezekiel 16:26} Thou hast also
committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of
flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger.
{Ezekiel 16:27} Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and
have diminished thine ordinary [food,] and delivered thee unto the will
of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are
ashamed of thy lewd way. {Ezekiel 16:28} Thou hast played the whore also with
the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the
harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied. {Ezekiel 16:29} Thou hast
moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea;
and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith. {Ezekiel 16:30} How weak is thine
heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest all these [things,] the
work of an imperious whorish woman; {Ezekiel 16:31} In that thou buildest thine
eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in
every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest
hire; {Ezekiel 16:32} [But as] a wife that committeth adultery, [which] taketh
strangers instead of her husband! {Ezekiel 16:33} They give gifts to all
whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them,
that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom. {Ezekiel 16:34}
And the contrary is in thee from [other] women in thy whoredoms,
whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou
givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art
contrary.

{Ezekiel 16:35} Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD: {Ezekiel 16:36} Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy
nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with
all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children,
which thou didst give unto them; {Ezekiel 16:37} Behold, therefore I will
gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all
[them] that thou hast loved, with all [them] that thou hast hated; I
will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy
nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness. {Ezekiel 16:38} And I
will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged;
and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy. {Ezekiel 16:39} And I will
also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent
place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also
of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked
and bare. {Ezekiel 16:40} They shall also bring up a company against thee, and
they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their
swords. {Ezekiel 16:41} And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute
judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee
to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any
more. {Ezekiel 16:42} So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my
jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no
more angry. {Ezekiel 16:43} Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy
youth, but hast fretted me in all these [things;] behold, therefore I
also will recompense thy way upon [thine] head, saith the Lord GOD: and
thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations.

{Ezekiel 16:44} Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use [this]
proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, [so is] her daughter.
{Ezekiel 16:45} Thou [art] thy mother's daughter, that lotheth her husband and
her children; and thou [art] the sister of thy sisters, which lothed
their husbands and their children: your mother [was] an Hittite, and
your father an Amorite. {Ezekiel 16:46} And thine elder sister [is] Samaria,
she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger
sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, [is] Sodom and her daughters.
{Ezekiel 16:47} Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their
abominations: but, as [if that were] a very little [thing,] thou wast
corrupted more than they in all thy ways. {Ezekiel 16:48} [As] I live, saith
the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as
thou hast done, thou and thy daughters. {Ezekiel 16:49} Behold, this was the
iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of
idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen
the hand of the poor and needy. {Ezekiel 16:50} And they were haughty, and
committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw
[good. ]{Ezekiel 16:51} Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but
thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast
justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done.
{Ezekiel 16:52} Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame
for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they
are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear
thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters. {Ezekiel 16:53} When I
shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her
daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then [will I
bring again] the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:
{Ezekiel 16:54} That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded
in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.
{Ezekiel 16:55} When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to
their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to
their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your
former estate. {Ezekiel 16:56} For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy
mouth in the day of thy pride, {Ezekiel 16:57} Before thy wickedness was
discovered, as at the time of [thy] reproach of the daughters of Syria,
and all [that are] round about her, the daughters of the Philistines,
which despise thee round about. {Ezekiel 16:58} Thou hast borne thy lewdness
and thine abominations, saith the LORD. {Ezekiel 16:59} For thus saith the Lord
GOD; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised
the oath in breaking the covenant.

{Ezekiel 16:60} Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the
days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting
covenant. {Ezekiel 16:61} Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed,
when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I
will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.
{Ezekiel 16:62} And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know
that I [am] the LORD: {Ezekiel 16:63} That thou mayest remember, and be
confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame,
when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the
Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 17:1} And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 17:2} Son of
man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;
{Ezekiel 17:3} And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; A great eagle with great
wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came
unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar: {Ezekiel 17:4} He
cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of
traffick; he set it in a city of merchants. {Ezekiel 17:5} He took also of the
seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed [it] by
great waters, [and] set it [as] a willow tree. {Ezekiel 17:6} And it grew, and
became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward
him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and
brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs. {Ezekiel 17:7} There was also
another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold,
this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches
toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation.
{Ezekiel 17:8} It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might
bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a
goodly vine. {Ezekiel 17:9} Say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Shall it
prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit
thereof, that it wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her
spring, even without great power or many people to pluck it up by the
roots thereof. {Ezekiel 17:10} Yea, behold, [being] planted, shall it prosper?
shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall
wither in the furrows where it grew.

{Ezekiel 17:11} Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 17:12}
Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these [things mean?]
tell [them,] Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath
taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him
to Babylon; {Ezekiel 17:13} And hath taken of the king's seed, and made a
covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken
the mighty of the land: {Ezekiel 17:14} That the kingdom might be base, that it
might not lift itself up, [but] that by keeping of his covenant it
might stand. {Ezekiel 17:15} But he rebelled against him in sending his
ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much
people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such [things?] or
shall he break the covenant, and be delivered? {Ezekiel 17:16} As I live, saith
the Lord GOD, surely in the place [where] the king [dwelleth] that made
him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, [even]
with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die. {Ezekiel 17:17} Neither shall
Pharaoh with [his] mighty army and great company make for him in the
war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons:
{Ezekiel 17:18} Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo,
he had given his hand, and hath done all these [things,] he shall not
escape. {Ezekiel 17:19} Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; [As] I live, surely
mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken,
even it will I recompense upon his own head. {Ezekiel 17:20} And I will spread
my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring
him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his trespass that he
hath trespassed against me. {Ezekiel 17:21} And all his fugitives with all his
bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered
toward all winds: and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken [it.

]{Ezekiel 17:22} Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest
branch of the high cedar, and will set [it;] I will crop off from the
top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant [it] upon an high
mountain and eminent: {Ezekiel 17:23} In the mountain of the height of Israel
will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and
be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in
the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell. {Ezekiel 17:24} And all
the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the
high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and
have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have brought down the
high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and
have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have
done [it.

]{Ezekiel 18:1} The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying, {Ezekiel 18:2} What
mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel,
saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth
are set on edge? {Ezekiel 18:3} [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not
have [occasion] any more to use this proverb in Israel. {Ezekiel 18:4} Behold,
all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the
son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

{Ezekiel 18:5} But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,
{Ezekiel 18:6} [And] hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up
his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his
neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman, {Ezekiel 18:7}
And hath not oppressed any, [but] hath restored to the debtor his
pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the
hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment; {Ezekiel 18:8} He [that]
hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase,
[that] hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true
judgment between man and man, {Ezekiel 18:9} Hath walked in my statutes, and
hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he [is] just, he shall surely
live, saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 18:10} If he beget a son [that is] a robber, a shedder of blood,
and [that] doeth the like to [any] one of these [things, ]{Ezekiel 18:11} And
that doeth not any of those [duties,] but even hath eaten upon the
mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife, {Ezekiel 18:12} Hath oppressed the
poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge,
and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,
{Ezekiel 18:13} Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he
then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he
shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.

{Ezekiel 18:14} Now, lo, [if] he beget a son, that seeth all his father's
sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,
{Ezekiel 18:15} [That] hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted
up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his
neighbour's wife, {Ezekiel 18:16} Neither hath oppressed any, hath not
withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, [but] hath
given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a
garment, {Ezekiel 18:17} [That] hath taken off his hand from the poor, [that]
hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath
walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father,
he shall surely live. {Ezekiel 18:18} [As for] his father, because he cruelly
oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did [that] which [is]
not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity.

{Ezekiel 18:19} Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the
father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, [and]
hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.
{Ezekiel 18:20} The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the
iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of
the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the
wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. {Ezekiel 18:21} But if the wicked
will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my
statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live,
he shall not die. {Ezekiel 18:22} All his transgressions that he hath
committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness
that he hath done he shall live. {Ezekiel 18:23} Have I any pleasure at all
that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: [and] not that he
should return from his ways, and live?

{Ezekiel 18:24} But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness,
and committeth iniquity, [and] doeth according to all the abominations
that the wicked [man] doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that
he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath
trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.

{Ezekiel 18:25} Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O
house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
{Ezekiel 18:26} When a righteous [man] turneth away from his righteousness, and
committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath
done shall he die. {Ezekiel 18:27} Again, when the wicked [man] turneth away
from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is
lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. {Ezekiel 18:28} Because he
considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath
committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die. {Ezekiel 18:29} Yet saith
the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of
Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal? {Ezekiel 18:30}
Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to
his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn [yourselves] from all
your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.

{Ezekiel 18:31} Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have
transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will
ye die, O house of Israel? {Ezekiel 18:32} For I have no pleasure in the death
of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn [yourselves,] and
live ye.

{Ezekiel 19:1} Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of
Israel, {Ezekiel 19:2} And say, What [is] thy mother? A lioness: she lay down
among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions. {Ezekiel 19:3} And she
brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to
catch the prey; it devoured men. {Ezekiel 19:4} The nations also heard of him;
he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the
land of Egypt. {Ezekiel 19:5} Now when she saw that she had waited, [and] her
hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, [and] made him a
young lion. {Ezekiel 19:6} And he went up and down among the lions, he became a
young lion, and learned to catch the prey, [and] devoured men. {Ezekiel 19:7}
And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and
the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise of his
roaring. {Ezekiel 19:8} Then the nations set against him on every side from the
provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.
{Ezekiel 19:9} And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king
of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more
be heard upon the mountains of Israel.

{Ezekiel 19:10} Thy mother [is] like a vine in thy blood, planted by the
waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
{Ezekiel 19:11} And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare
rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she
appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches. {Ezekiel 19:12} But
she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the
east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered;
the fire consumed them. {Ezekiel 19:13} And now she [is] planted in the
wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground. {Ezekiel 19:14} And fire is gone out
of a rod of her branches, [which] hath devoured her fruit, so that she
hath no strong rod [to be] a sceptre to rule. This [is] a lamentation,
and shall be for a lamentation.

{Ezekiel 20:1} And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth
[month,] the tenth [day] of the month, [that] certain of the elders of
Israel came to enquire of the LORD, and sat before me. {Ezekiel 20:2} Then came
the word of the LORD unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 20:3} Son of man, speak unto the
elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye
come to enquire of me? [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be
enquired of by you. {Ezekiel 20:4} Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou
judge [them?] cause them to know the abominations of their fathers:

{Ezekiel 20:5} And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I
chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of
Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I
lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I [am] the LORD your God; {Ezekiel 20:6}
In the day [that] I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth
of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing
with milk and honey, which [is] the glory of all lands: {Ezekiel 20:7} Then
said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes,
and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your
God. {Ezekiel 20:8} But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto
me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes,
neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour
out my fury upon them to accomplish my anger against them in the midst
of the land of Egypt. {Ezekiel 20:9} But I wrought for my name's sake, that it
should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they [were,] in
whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out
of the land of Egypt.

{Ezekiel 20:10} Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of
Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness. {Ezekiel 20:11} And I gave them my
statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which [if] a man do, he shall
even live in them. {Ezekiel 20:12} Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be
a sign between me and them, that they might know that I [am] the LORD
that sanctify them. {Ezekiel 20:13} But the house of Israel rebelled against me
in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my
judgments, which [if] a man do, he shall even live in them; and my
sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury
upon them in the wilderness, to consume them. {Ezekiel 20:14} But I wrought for
my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in
whose sight I brought them out. {Ezekiel 20:15} Yet also I lifted up my hand
unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land
which I had given [them,] flowing with milk and honey, which [is] the
glory of all lands; {Ezekiel 20:16} Because they despised my judgments, and
walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart
went after their idols. {Ezekiel 20:17} Nevertheless mine eye spared them from
destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.
{Ezekiel 20:18} But I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not
in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor
defile yourselves with their idols: {Ezekiel 20:19} I [am] the LORD your God;
walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; {Ezekiel 20:20} And
hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that
ye may know that I [am] the LORD your God. {Ezekiel 20:21} Notwithstanding the
children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither
kept my judgments to do them, which [if] a man do, he shall even live
in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my
fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
{Ezekiel 20:22} Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my name's
sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in
whose sight I brought them forth. {Ezekiel 20:23} I lifted up mine hand unto
them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the
heathen, and disperse them through the countries; {Ezekiel 20:24} Because they
had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had
polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.
{Ezekiel 20:25} Wherefore I gave them also statutes [that were] not good, and
judgments whereby they should not live; {Ezekiel 20:26} And I polluted them in
their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through [the fire] all
that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that
they might know that I [am] the LORD.

{Ezekiel 20:27} Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and
say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have
blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.
{Ezekiel 20:28} [For] when I had brought them into the land, [for] the which I
lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill,
and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and
there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they
made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.
{Ezekiel 20:29} Then I said unto them, What [is] the high place whereunto ye
go? And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day. {Ezekiel 20:30}
Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye
polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye whoredom after
their abominations? {Ezekiel 20:31} For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make
your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your
idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house
of Israel? [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of
by you. {Ezekiel 20:32} And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at
all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the
countries, to serve wood and stone.

{Ezekiel 20:33} [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:

{Ezekiel 20:34} And I will bring you out from the people, and will
gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty
hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.

{Ezekiel 20:35}And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.

{Ezekiel 20:36} Like as I pleaded with your
fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with
you, saith the Lord GOD. {Ezekiel 20:37} And I will cause you to pass under the
rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant: {Ezekiel 20:38} And I
will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress
against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they
sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall
know that I [am] the LORD. {Ezekiel 20:39} As for you, O house of Israel, thus
saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter
[also,] if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no
more with your gifts, and with your idols. {Ezekiel 20:40} For in mine holy
mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD,
there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me:
there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and
the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things. {Ezekiel 20:41} I
will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the
people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been
scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen. {Ezekiel 20:42}
And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall bring you into the
land of Israel, into the country [for] the which I lifted up mine hand
to give it to your fathers. {Ezekiel 20:43} And there shall ye remember your
ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall
lothe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have
committed. {Ezekiel 20:44} And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have
wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways,
nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the
Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 20:45} Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 20:46}
Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop [thy word] toward
the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field; {Ezekiel 20:47}
And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall
devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame
shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall
be burned therein. {Ezekiel 20:48} And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have
kindled it: it shall not be quenched. {Ezekiel 20:49} Then said I, Ah Lord GOD!
they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?

{Ezekiel 21:1} And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 21:2} Son of
man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop [thy word] toward the holy
places, and prophesy against the land of Israel, {Ezekiel 21:3} And say to the
land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I [am] against thee, and
will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee
the righteous and the wicked. {Ezekiel 21:4} Seeing then that I will cut off
from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go
forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
{Ezekiel 21:5} That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my
sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more. {Ezekiel 21:6} Sigh
therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of [thy] loins; and with
bitterness sigh before their eyes. {Ezekiel 21:7} And it shall be, when they
say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the
tidings; because it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands
shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be
weak [as] water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith
the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 21:8} Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 21:9} Son
of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword
is sharpened, and also furbished: {Ezekiel 21:10} It is sharpened to make a
sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then
make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, [as] every tree. {Ezekiel 21:11}
And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this
sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of
the slayer. {Ezekiel 21:12} Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my
people, it [shall be] upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason
of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon [thy] thigh.
{Ezekiel 21:13} Because [it is] a trial, and what if [the sword] contemn even
the rod? it shall be no [more,] saith the Lord GOD. {Ezekiel 21:14} Thou
therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite [thine] hands together, and
let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it
[is] the sword of the great [men that are] slain, which entereth into
their privy chambers. {Ezekiel 21:15} I have set the point of the sword against
all their gates, that [their] heart may faint, and [their] ruins be
multiplied: ah! [it is] made bright, [it is] wrapped up for the
slaughter. {Ezekiel 21:16} Go thee one way or other, [either] on the right
hand, [or] on the left, whithersoever thy face [is] set. {Ezekiel 21:17} I will
also smite mine hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the
LORD have said [it. ]{Ezekiel 21:18} The word of the LORD came unto me again,
saying, {Ezekiel 21:19} Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the
sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out
of one land: and choose thou a place, choose [it] at the head of the
way to the city. {Ezekiel 21:20} Appoint a way, that the sword may come to
Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.
{Ezekiel 21:21} For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the
head of the two ways, to use divination: he made [his] arrows bright,
he consulted with images, he looked in the liver. {Ezekiel 21:22} At his right
hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the
mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint
[battering] rams against the gates, to cast a mount, [and] to build a
fort. {Ezekiel 21:23} And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their
sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance
the iniquity, that they may be taken. {Ezekiel 21:24} Therefore thus saith the
Lord GOD; Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that
your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your
sins do appear; because, [I say,] that ye are come to remembrance, ye
shall be taken with the hand.

{Ezekiel 21:25} And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is
come, when iniquity [shall have] an end, {Ezekiel 21:26} Thus saith the Lord
GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this [shall] not [be]
the same: exalt [him that is] low, and abase [him that is] high.
{Ezekiel 21:27} I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no
[more,] until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [him.

]{Ezekiel 21:28} And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord
GOD concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say
thou, The sword, the sword [is] drawn: for the slaughter [it is]
furbished, to consume because of the glittering: {Ezekiel 21:29} Whiles they
see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee
upon the necks of [them that are] slain, of the wicked, whose day is
come, when their iniquity [shall have] an end. {Ezekiel 21:30} Shall I cause
[it] to return into his sheath? I will judge thee in the place where
thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity. {Ezekiel 21:31} And I will pour
out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of
my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, [and] skilful
to destroy. {Ezekiel 21:32} Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall
be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no [more] remembered: for I
the LORD have spoken [it.

]{Ezekiel 22:1} Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 22:2}
Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city?
yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations. {Ezekiel 22:3} Then say thou,
Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it,
that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile
herself. {Ezekiel 22:4} Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast
shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and
thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come [even] unto thy
years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a
mocking to all countries. {Ezekiel 22:5} [Those that be] near, and [those that
be] far from thee, shall mock thee, [which art] infamous [and] much
vexed. {Ezekiel 22:6} Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to
their power to shed blood. {Ezekiel 22:7} In thee have they set light by father
and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the
stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow. {Ezekiel 22:8}
Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.
{Ezekiel 22:9} In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they
eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.
{Ezekiel 22:10} In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee
have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution. {Ezekiel 22:11} And one
hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and another hath
lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled
his sister, his father's daughter. {Ezekiel 22:12} In thee have they taken
gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast
greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me,
saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 22:13} Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest
gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the
midst of thee. {Ezekiel 22:14} Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be
strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken
[it,] and will do [it. ]{Ezekiel 22:15} And I will scatter thee among the
heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy
filthiness out of thee. {Ezekiel 22:16} And thou shalt take thine inheritance
in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I [am]
the LORD. {Ezekiel 22:17} And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
{Ezekiel 22:18} Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they
[are] brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace;
they are [even] the dross of silver. {Ezekiel 22:19} Therefore thus saith the
Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will
gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. {Ezekiel 22:20} [As] they gather
silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the
furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt [it;] so will I gather [you]
in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave [you there,] and melt
you. {Ezekiel 22:21} Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of
my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof. {Ezekiel 22:22} As
silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in
the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my
fury upon you.

{Ezekiel 22:23} And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 22:24} Son
of man, say unto her, Thou [art] the land that is not cleansed, nor
rained upon in the day of indignation. {Ezekiel 22:25} [There is] a conspiracy
of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the
prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and
precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.
{Ezekiel 22:26} Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy
things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane,
neither have they shewed [difference] between the unclean and the
clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned
among them. {Ezekiel 22:27} Her princes in the midst thereof [are] like wolves
ravening the prey, to shed blood, [and] to destroy souls, to get
dishonest gain. {Ezekiel 22:28} And her prophets have daubed them with
untempered [morter,] seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them,
saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken. {Ezekiel 22:29}
The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and
have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger
wrongfully. {Ezekiel 22:30} And I sought for a man among them, that should make
up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I
should not destroy it: but I found none. {Ezekiel 22:31} Therefore have I
poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the
fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads,
saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 23:1} The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 23:2} Son
of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother: {Ezekiel 23:3} And
they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their
youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the
teats of their virginity. {Ezekiel 23:4} And the names of them [were] Aholah
the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare
sons and daughters. Thus [were] their names; Samaria [is] Aholah, and
Jerusalem Aholibah. {Ezekiel 23:5} And Aholah played the harlot when she was
mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians [her] neighbours,
{Ezekiel 23:6} [Which were] clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them
desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses. {Ezekiel 23:7} Thus she
committed her whoredoms with them, with all them [that were] the chosen
men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols
she defiled herself. {Ezekiel 23:8} Neither left she her whoredoms [brought]
from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the
breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her. {Ezekiel 23:9}
Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the
hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted. {Ezekiel 23:10} These discovered
her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with
the sword: and she became famous among women; for they had executed
judgment upon her. {Ezekiel 23:11} And when her sister Aholibah saw [this,] she
was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms
more than her sister in [her] whoredoms. {Ezekiel 23:12} She doted upon the
Assyrians [her] neighbours, captains and rulers clothed most
gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young
men. {Ezekiel 23:13} Then I saw that she was defiled, [that] they [took] both
one way, {Ezekiel 23:14} And [that] she increased her whoredoms: for when she
saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans
pourtrayed with vermilion, {Ezekiel 23:15} Girded with girdles upon their
loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes
to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of
their nativity: {Ezekiel 23:16} And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she
doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea. {Ezekiel 23:17}
And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled
her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind
was alienated from them. {Ezekiel 23:18} So she discovered her whoredoms, and
discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as
my mind was alienated from her sister. {Ezekiel 23:19} Yet she multiplied her
whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she
had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. {Ezekiel 23:20} For she doted upon
their paramours, whose flesh [is as] the flesh of asses, and whose
issue [is like] the issue of horses. {Ezekiel 23:21} Thus thou calledst to
remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the
Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.

{Ezekiel 23:22} Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I
will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated,
and I will bring them against thee on every side; {Ezekiel 23:23} The
Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, [and] all
the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and
rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.
{Ezekiel 23:24} And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and
wheels, and with an assembly of people, [which] shall set against thee
buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment
before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.
{Ezekiel 23:25} And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal
furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and
thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy
daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire. {Ezekiel 23:26} They
shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy fair
jewels. {Ezekiel 23:27} Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and
thy whoredom [brought] from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not
lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more. {Ezekiel 23:28} For
thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand [of
them] whom thou hatest, into the hand [of them] from whom thy mind is
alienated: {Ezekiel 23:29} And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall
take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the
nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and
thy whoredoms. {Ezekiel 23:30} I will do these [things] unto thee, because thou
hast gone a whoring after the heathen, [and] because thou art polluted
with their idols.

{Ezekiel 23:31} Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand.
{Ezekiel 23:32} Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much.
{Ezekiel 23:33} Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.
{Ezekiel 23:34} Thou shalt even drink it and suck [it] out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken [it,] saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 23:35} Therefore thus saith the Lord
GOD; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back,
therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

{Ezekiel 23:36} The LORD said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou judge
Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations; {Ezekiel 23:37}
That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and
with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused
their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through [the
fire,] to devour [them. ]{Ezekiel 23:38} Moreover this they have done unto me:
they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my
sabbaths. {Ezekiel 23:39} For when they had slain their children to their
idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it;
and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house. {Ezekiel 23:40} And
furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from far, unto whom a
messenger [was] sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou didst wash
thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments,
{Ezekiel 23:41} And satest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it,
whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil. {Ezekiel 23:42} And a voice
of a multitude being at ease [was] with her: and with the men of the
common sort [were] brought Sabeans from the wilderness, which put
bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.
{Ezekiel 23:43} Then said I unto [her that was] old in adulteries, Will they
now commit whoredoms with her, and she [with them? ]{Ezekiel 23:44} Yet they
went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot:
so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women.

{Ezekiel 23:45} And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the
manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood;
because they [are] adulteresses, and blood [is] in their hands. {Ezekiel 23:46}
For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will bring up a company upon them, and
will give them to be removed and spoiled. {Ezekiel 23:47} And the company shall
stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall
slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with
fire. {Ezekiel 23:48} Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that
all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness. {Ezekiel 23:49} And they
shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of
your idols: and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 24:1} Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth
[day] of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 24:2}
Son of man, write thee the name of the day, [even] of this same day:
the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day. {Ezekiel 24:3}
And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set [it] on, and also pour water into
it: {Ezekiel 24:4} Gather the pieces thereof into it, [even] every good piece,
the thigh, and the shoulder; fill [it] with the choice bones. {Ezekiel 24:5}
Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, [and]
make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.

{Ezekiel 24:6} Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to
the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum [is] not gone out of it!
bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall up on it. {Ezekiel 24:7} For her
blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she
poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust; {Ezekiel 24:8} That it
might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood
upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered. {Ezekiel 24:9} Therefore
thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the
pile for fire great. {Ezekiel 24:10} Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the
flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned. {Ezekiel 24:11} Then set
it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and
may burn, and [that] the filthiness of it may be molten in it, [that]
the scum of it may be consumed. {Ezekiel 24:12} She hath wearied [herself] with
lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum [shall be]
in the fire. {Ezekiel 24:13} In thy filthiness [is] lewdness: because I have
purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from
thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.
{Ezekiel 24:14} I the LORD have spoken [it:] it shall come to pass, and I will
do [it;] I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I
repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they
judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 24:15} Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 24:16} Son
of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a
stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears
run down. {Ezekiel 24:17} Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind
the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet,
and cover not [thy] lips, and eat not the bread of men. {Ezekiel 24:18} So I
spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I
did in the morning as I was commanded.

{Ezekiel 24:19} And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what
these [things are] to us, that thou doest [so? ]{Ezekiel 24:20} Then I answered
them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 24:21} Speak unto the
house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my
sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes,
and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom
ye have left shall fall by the sword. {Ezekiel 24:22} And ye shall do as I have
done: ye shall not cover [your] lips, nor eat the bread of men. {Ezekiel 24:23}
And your tires [shall be] upon your heads, and your shoes upon your
feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your
iniquities, and mourn one toward another. {Ezekiel 24:24} Thus Ezekiel is unto
you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when
this cometh, ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD. {Ezekiel 24:25} Also, thou
son of man, [shall it] not [be] in the day when I take from them their
strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that
whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters, {Ezekiel 24:26}
[That] he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause
[thee] to hear [it] with [thine] ears? {Ezekiel 24:27} In that day shall thy
mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be
no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know
that I [am] the LORD.

{Ezekiel 25:1} The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 25:2} Son
of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them;
{Ezekiel 25:3} And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary,
when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was
desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into
captivity; {Ezekiel 25:4} Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of
the east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee,
and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they
shall drink thy milk. {Ezekiel 25:5} And I will make Rabbah a stable for
camels, and the Ammonites a couchingplace for flocks: and ye shall know
that I [am] the LORD. {Ezekiel 25:6} For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou
hast clapped [thine] hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in
heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel; {Ezekiel 25:7} Behold,
therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee
for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people,
and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy
thee; and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.

{Ezekiel 25:8} Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say,
Behold, the house of Judah [is] like unto all the heathen; {Ezekiel 25:9}
Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from
his cities [which are] on his frontiers, the glory of the country,
Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim, {Ezekiel 25:10} Unto the men of the
east with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the
Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations. {Ezekiel 25:11} And I will
execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

{Ezekiel 25:12} Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt
against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly
offended, and revenged himself upon them; {Ezekiel 25:13} Therefore thus saith
the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut
off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and
they of Dedan shall fall by the sword. {Ezekiel 25:14} And I will lay my
vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do
in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they
shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 25:15} Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt
by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to
destroy [it] for the old hatred; {Ezekiel 25:16} Therefore thus saith the Lord
GOD; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I
will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
{Ezekiel 25:17} And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious
rebukes; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall lay my
vengeance upon them.

{Ezekiel 26:1} And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first [day]
of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 26:2}
Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is
broken [that was] the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I
shall be replenished, [now] she is laid waste: {Ezekiel 26:3} Therefore thus
saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O Tyrus, and will
cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his
waves to come up. {Ezekiel 26:4} And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and
break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make
her like the top of a rock. {Ezekiel 26:5} It shall be [a place for] the
spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken [it,]
saith the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the nations. {Ezekiel 26:6}
And her daughters which [are] in the field shall be slain by the sword;
and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

{Ezekiel 26:7} For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with
horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much
people. {Ezekiel 26:8} He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field:
and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee,
and lift up the buckler against thee. {Ezekiel 26:9} And he shall set engines
of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy
towers. {Ezekiel 26:10} By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust
shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen,
and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy
gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach. {Ezekiel 26:11} With
the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall
slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to
the ground. {Ezekiel 26:12} And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make
a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and
destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy
timber and thy dust in the midst of the water. {Ezekiel 26:13} And I will cause
the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no
more heard. {Ezekiel 26:14} And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou
shalt be [a place] to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more:
for I the LORD have spoken [it,] saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 26:15} Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake
at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is
made in the midst of thee? {Ezekiel 26:16} Then all the princes of the sea
shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put
off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with
trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at [every]
moment, and be astonished at thee. {Ezekiel 26:17} And they shall take up a
lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, [that
wast] inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong
in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror [to be]
on all that haunt it! {Ezekiel 26:18} Now shall the isles tremble in the day of
thy fall; yea, the isles that [are] in the sea shall be troubled at thy
departure. {Ezekiel 26:19} For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee
a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall
bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee; {Ezekiel 26:20}
When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with
the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the
earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit,
that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the
living; {Ezekiel 26:21} I will make thee a terror, and thou [shalt be] no
[more:] though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again,
saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 27:1} The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 27:2} Now,
thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus; {Ezekiel 27:3} And say unto
Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea, [which art] a
merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O
Tyrus, thou hast said, I [am] of perfect beauty. {Ezekiel 27:4} Thy borders
[are] in the midst of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.
{Ezekiel 27:5} They have made all thy [ship] boards of fir trees of Senir: they
have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee. {Ezekiel 27:6} [Of] the
oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; the company of the Ashurites
have made thy benches [of] ivory, [brought] out of the isles of
Chittim. {Ezekiel 27:7} Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was that
which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the
isles of Elishah was that which covered thee. {Ezekiel 27:8} The inhabitants of
Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners: thy wise [men,] O Tyrus, [that] were
in thee, were thy pilots. {Ezekiel 27:9} The ancients of Gebal and the wise
[men] thereof were in thee thy calkers: all the ships of the sea with
their mariners were in thee to occupy thy merchandise. {Ezekiel 27:10} They of
Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in thine army, thy men of war: they
hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy comeliness.
{Ezekiel 27:11} The men of Arvad with thine army [were] upon thy walls round
about, and the Gammadims were in thy towers: they hanged their shields
upon thy walls round about; they have made thy beauty perfect. {Ezekiel 27:12}
Tarshish [was] thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all [kind of]
riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs.
{Ezekiel 27:13} Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they [were] thy merchants: they
traded the persons of men and vessels of brass in thy market. {Ezekiel 27:14}
They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and
horsemen and mules. {Ezekiel 27:15} The men of Dedan [were] thy merchants; many
isles [were] the merchandise of thine hand: they brought thee [for] a
present horns of ivory and ebony. {Ezekiel 27:16} Syria [was] thy merchant by
reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making: they occupied in
thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and broidered work, and fine linen,
and coral, and agate. {Ezekiel 27:17} Judah, and the land of Israel, they
[were] thy merchants: they traded in thy market wheat of Minnith, and
Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm. {Ezekiel 27:18} Damascus [was] thy
merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy making, for the multitude
of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool. {Ezekiel 27:19} Dan also
and Javan going to and fro occupied in thy fairs: bright iron, cassia,
and calamus, were in thy market. {Ezekiel 27:20} Dedan [was] thy merchant in
precious clothes for chariots. {Ezekiel 27:21} Arabia, and all the princes of
Kedar, they occupied with thee in lambs, and rams, and goats: in these
[were they] thy merchants. {Ezekiel 27:22} The merchants of Sheba and Raamah,
they [were] thy merchants: they occupied in thy fairs with chief of all
spices, and with all precious stones, and gold. {Ezekiel 27:23} Haran, and
Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, [and] Chilmad, [were]
thy merchants. {Ezekiel 27:24} These [were] thy merchants in all sorts [of
things,] in blue clothes, and broidered work, and in chests of rich
apparel, bound with cords, and made of cedar, among thy merchandise.
{Ezekiel 27:25} The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou
wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.
{Ezekiel 27:26} Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind
hath broken thee in the midst of the seas. {Ezekiel 27:27} Thy riches, and thy
fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and
the occupiers of thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that [are] in
thee, and in all thy company which [is] in the midst of thee, shall
fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin. {Ezekiel 27:28} The
suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots. {Ezekiel 27:29} And
all that handle the oar, the mariners, [and] all the pilots of the sea,
shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land;
{Ezekiel 27:30} And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall
cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall
wallow themselves in the ashes: {Ezekiel 27:31} And they shall make themselves
utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall
weep for thee with bitterness of heart [and] bitter wailing. {Ezekiel 27:32}
And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and
lament over thee, [saying,] What [city is] like Tyrus, like the
destroyed in the midst of the sea? {Ezekiel 27:33} When thy wares went forth
out of the seas, thou filledst many people; thou didst enrich the kings
of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise.
{Ezekiel 27:34} In the time [when] thou shalt be broken by the seas in the
depths of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst
of thee shall fall. {Ezekiel 27:35} All the inhabitants of the isles shall be
astonished at thee, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be
troubled in [their] countenance. {Ezekiel 27:36} The merchants among the people
shall hiss at thee; thou [shalt be] a terror, and never shalt be any
more.

{Ezekiel 28:1} The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 28:2} Son
of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because
thine heart [is] lifted up, and thou hast said, I [am] a God, I sit
[in] the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou [art] a man,
and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God: {Ezekiel 28:3}
Behold, thou [art] wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can
hide from thee: {Ezekiel 28:4} With thy wisdom and with thine understanding
thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy
treasures: {Ezekiel 28:5} By thy great wisdom [and] by thy traffick hast thou
increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy
riches: {Ezekiel 28:6} Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set
thine heart as the heart of God; {Ezekiel 28:7} Behold, therefore I will bring
strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw
their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile
thy brightness. {Ezekiel 28:8} They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou
shalt die the deaths of [them that are] slain in the midst of the seas.
{Ezekiel 28:9} Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I [am] God? but
thou [shalt be] a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth
thee. {Ezekiel 28:10} Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the
hand of strangers: for I have spoken [it,] saith the Lord GOD. {Ezekiel 28:11}
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 28:12} Son of man,
take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and
perfect in beauty. {Ezekiel 28:13} Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God;
every precious stone [was] thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the
diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the
emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets
and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast
created. {Ezekiel 28:14} Thou [art] the anointed cherub that covereth; and I
have set thee [so:] thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast
walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. {Ezekiel 28:15} Thou
[wast] perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till
iniquity was found in thee.

{Ezekiel 28:16} By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
{Ezekiel 28:17} Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

{Ezekiel 28:18} Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine
iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring
forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will
bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold
thee. {Ezekiel 28:19} All they that know thee among the people shall be
astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never [shalt] thou [be]
any more.

{Ezekiel 28:20} Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 28:21} Son
of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it, {Ezekiel 28:22}
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O Zidon;
and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that
I [am] the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall
be sanctified in her. {Ezekiel 28:23} For I will send into her pestilence, and
blood into her street; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of
her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I
[am] the LORD. {Ezekiel 28:24} And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto
the house of Israel, nor [any] grieving thorn of all [that are] round
about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I [am] the
Lord GOD. {Ezekiel 28:25} Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered
the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and
shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall
they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob. {Ezekiel 28:26}
And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant
vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed
judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they
shall know that I [am] the LORD their God.

{Ezekiel 29:1} In the tenth year, in the tenth [month,] in the twelfth [day]
of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 29:2} Son of
man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against
him, and against all Egypt: {Ezekiel 29:3} Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord
GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great
dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river
[is] mine own, and I have made [it] for myself. {Ezekiel 29:4} But I will put
hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick
unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy
rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.
{Ezekiel 29:5} And I will leave thee [thrown] into the wilderness, thee and all
the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou
shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat
to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven. {Ezekiel 29:6} And
all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I [am] the LORD, because
they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel. {Ezekiel 29:7} When they
took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their
shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all
their loins to be at a stand.

{Ezekiel 29:8} Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a
sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee. {Ezekiel 29:9} And the
land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I
[am] the LORD: because he hath said, The river [is] mine, and I have
made [it. ]{Ezekiel 29:10} Behold, therefore I [am] against thee, and against
thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste [and]
desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.
{Ezekiel 29:11} No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall
pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years. {Ezekiel 29:12} And
I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries
[that are] desolate, and her cities among the cities [that are] laid
waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians
among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

{Ezekiel 29:13} Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will
I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:
{Ezekiel 29:14} And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause
them to return [into] the land of Pathros, into the land of their
habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom. {Ezekiel 29:15} It shall be
the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more
above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more
rule over the nations. {Ezekiel 29:16} And it shall be no more the confidence
of the house of Israel, which bringeth [their] iniquity to remembrance,
when they shall look after them: but they shall know that I [am] the
Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 29:17} And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the
first [month,] in the first [day] of the month, the word of the LORD
came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 29:18} Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of
Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every
head [was] made bald, and every shoulder [was] peeled: yet had he no
wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served
against it: {Ezekiel 29:19} Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will
give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he
shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it
shall be the wages for his army. {Ezekiel 29:20} I have given him the land of
Egypt [for] his labour wherewith he served against it, because they
wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 29:21} In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to
bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst
of them; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

{Ezekiel 30:1} The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 30:2} Son
of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth
the day {Ezekiel 30:3} For the day [is] near, even the day of the LORD [is]
near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen. {Ezekiel 30:4} And the
sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when
the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude,
and her foundations shall be broken down. {Ezekiel 30:5} Ethiopia, and Libya,
and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the
land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword. {Ezekiel 30:6} Thus
saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride
of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall
in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD. {Ezekiel 30:7} And they shall be
desolate in the midst of the countries [that are] desolate, and her
cities shall be in the midst of the cities [that are] wasted. {Ezekiel 30:8}
And they shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have set a fire in
Egypt, and [when] all her helpers shall be destroyed. {Ezekiel 30:9} In that
day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless
Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day
of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh. {Ezekiel 30:10} Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will
also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon. {Ezekiel 30:11} He and his people with him, the terrible of
the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw
their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain. {Ezekiel 30:12}
And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the
wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the
hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken [it. ]{Ezekiel 30:13} Thus saith the
Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause [their]
images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the
land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt. {Ezekiel 30:14} And
I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will
execute judgments in No. {Ezekiel 30:15} And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the
strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No. {Ezekiel 30:16} And
I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be
rent asunder, and Noph [shall have] distresses daily. {Ezekiel 30:17} The young
men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword: and these
[cities] shall go into captivity. {Ezekiel 30:18} At Tehaphnehes also the day
shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the
pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall
cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity. {Ezekiel 30:19} Thus will
I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

{Ezekiel 30:20} And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first
[month,] in the seventh [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD
came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 30:21} Son of man, I have broken the arm of
Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed,
to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.
{Ezekiel 30:22} Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that
which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
{Ezekiel 30:23} And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will
disperse them through the countries. {Ezekiel 30:24} And I will strengthen the
arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will
break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings
of a deadly wounded [man. ]{Ezekiel 30:25} But I will strengthen the arms of
the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they
shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall put my sword into the
hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land
of Egypt. {Ezekiel 30:26} And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations,
and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I [am]
the LORD.

{Ezekiel 31:1} And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third
[month,] in the first [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD
came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 31:2} Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of
Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?

{Ezekiel 31:3} Behold, the Assyrian [was] a cedar in Lebanon with fair
branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his
top was among the thick boughs. {Ezekiel 31:4} The waters made him great, the
deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants,
and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field. {Ezekiel 31:5}
Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and
his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the
multitude of waters, when he shot forth. {Ezekiel 31:6} All the fowls of heaven
made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the
beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt
all great nations. {Ezekiel 31:7} Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the
length of his branches: for his root was by great waters. {Ezekiel 31:8} The
cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not
like his boughs, and the chesnut trees were not like his branches; nor
any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty. {Ezekiel 31:9} I
have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the
trees of Eden, that [were] in the garden of God, envied him.

{Ezekiel 31:10} Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted
up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick
boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height; {Ezekiel 31:11} I have
therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen;
he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his
wickedness. {Ezekiel 31:12} And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have
cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the
valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the
rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from
his shadow, and have left him. {Ezekiel 31:13} Upon his ruin shall all the
fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be
upon his branches: {Ezekiel 31:14} To the end that none of all the trees by the
waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top
among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height,
all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the
nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with
them that go down to the pit. {Ezekiel 31:15} Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the
day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the
deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters
were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees
of the field fainted for him. {Ezekiel 31:16} I made the nations to shake at
the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that
descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of
Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts
of the earth. {Ezekiel 31:17} They also went down into hell with him unto [them
that be] slain with the sword; and [they that were] his arm, [that]
dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.

{Ezekiel 31:18} To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among
the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of
Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of
the uncircumcised with [them that be] slain by the sword. This [is]
Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 32:1} And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth
month, in the first [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD
came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 32:2} Son of man, take up a lamentation for
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of
the nations, and thou [art] as a whale in the seas: and thou camest
forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and
fouledst their rivers. {Ezekiel 32:3} Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will therefore
spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they
shall bring thee up in my net. {Ezekiel 32:4} Then will I leave thee upon the
land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all
the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts
of the whole earth with thee. {Ezekiel 32:5} And I will lay thy flesh upon the
mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height. {Ezekiel 32:6} I will also
water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, [even] to the
mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee. {Ezekiel 32:7} And when I
shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof
dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give
her light. {Ezekiel 32:8} All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over
thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD. {Ezekiel 32:9} I will
also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction
among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.
{Ezekiel 32:10} Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their kings
shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword
before them; and they shall tremble at [every] moment, every man for
his own life, in the day of thy fall.

{Ezekiel 32:11} For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of
Babylon shall come upon thee. {Ezekiel 32:12} By the swords of the mighty will
I cause thy multitude to fall, the terrible of the nations, all of
them: and they shall spoil the pomp of Egypt, and all the multitude
thereof shall be destroyed. {Ezekiel 32:13} I will destroy also all the beasts
thereof from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man
trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them. {Ezekiel 32:14}
Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like
oil, saith the Lord GOD. {Ezekiel 32:15} When I shall make the land of Egypt
desolate, and the country shall be destitute of that whereof it was
full, when I shall smite all them that dwell therein, then shall they
know that I [am] the LORD. {Ezekiel 32:16} This [is] the lamentation wherewith
they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her:
they shall lament for her, [even] for Egypt, and for all her multitude,
saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 32:17} It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth
day of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
{Ezekiel 32:18} Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them
down, [even] her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the
nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit. {Ezekiel 32:19}
Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the
uncircumcised. {Ezekiel 32:20} They shall fall in the midst of [them that are]
slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her
multitudes. {Ezekiel 32:21} The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out
of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they
lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword. {Ezekiel 32:22} Asshur [is] there and
all her company: his graves [are] about him: all of them slain, fallen
by the sword: {Ezekiel 32:23} Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and
her company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the
sword, which caused terror in the land of the living. {Ezekiel 32:24} There
[is] Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them
slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the
nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the
living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the
pit. {Ezekiel 32:25} They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all
her multitude: her graves [are] round about him: all of them
uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in
the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that
go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of [them that be] slain.
{Ezekiel 32:26} There [is] Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves
[are] round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword,
though they caused their terror in the land of the living. {Ezekiel 32:27} And
they shall not lie with the mighty [that are] fallen of the
uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war:
and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities
shall be upon their bones, though [they were] the terror of the mighty
in the land of the living. {Ezekiel 32:28} Yea, thou shalt be broken in the
midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with [them that are] slain
with the sword. {Ezekiel 32:29} There [is] Edom, her kings, and all her
princes, which with their might are laid by [them that were] slain by
the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go
down to the pit. {Ezekiel 32:30} There [be] the princes of the north, all of
them, and all the Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with
their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie
uncircumcised with [them that be] slain by the sword, and bear their
shame with them that go down to the pit. {Ezekiel 32:31} Pharaoh shall see
them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, [even] Pharaoh and
all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord GOD. {Ezekiel 32:32} For I have
caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the
midst of the uncircumcised with [them that are] slain with the sword,
[even] Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 33:1} Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 33:2} Son
of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I
bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of
their coasts, and set him for their watchman: {Ezekiel 33:3} If when he seeth
the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
{Ezekiel 33:4} Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not
warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon
his own head. {Ezekiel 33:5} He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not
warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall
deliver his soul. {Ezekiel 33:6} But if the watchman see the sword come, and
blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come,
and take [any] person from among them, he is taken away in his
iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

{Ezekiel 33:7} So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the
house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and
warn them from me. {Ezekiel 33:8} When I say unto the wicked, O wicked [man,]
thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from
his way, that wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood
will I require at thine hand. {Ezekiel 33:9} Nevertheless, if thou warn the
wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he
shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. {Ezekiel 33:10}
Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye
speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins [be] upon us, and we
pine away in them, how should we then live? {Ezekiel 33:11} Say unto them, [As]
I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the
wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn
ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? {Ezekiel 33:12}
Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The
righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his
transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall
thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall
the righteous be able to live for his [righteousness] in the day that
he sinneth. {Ezekiel 33:13} When I shall say to the righteous, [that] he shall
surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity,
all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity
that he hath committed, he shall die for it. {Ezekiel 33:14} Again, when I say
unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do
that which is lawful and right; {Ezekiel 33:15} [If] the wicked restore the
pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life,
without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
{Ezekiel 33:16} None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto
him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.

{Ezekiel 33:17} Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is
not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal. {Ezekiel 33:18} When the
righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he
shall even die thereby. {Ezekiel 33:19} But if the wicked turn from his
wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live
thereby.

{Ezekiel 33:20} Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of
Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.

{Ezekiel 33:21} And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in
the tenth [month,] in the fifth [day] of the month, [that] one that had
escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.
{Ezekiel 33:22} Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, afore he
that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in
the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb. {Ezekiel 33:23}
Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 33:24} Son of man,
they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying,
Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we [are] many; the land
is given us for inheritance. {Ezekiel 33:25} Wherefore say unto them, Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward
your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land? {Ezekiel 33:26} Ye
stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his
neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land? {Ezekiel 33:27} Say thou thus
unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; [As] I live, surely they that [are]
in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that [is] in the open
field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the
forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence. {Ezekiel 33:28} For I will
lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease;
and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass
through. {Ezekiel 33:29} Then shall they know that I [am] the LORD, when I have
laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which
they have committed.

{Ezekiel 33:30} Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are
talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and
speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray
you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD. {Ezekiel 33:31}
And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee
as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for
with their mouth they shew much love, [but] their heart goeth after
their covetousness. {Ezekiel 33:32} And, lo, thou [art] unto them as a very
lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an
instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not. {Ezekiel 33:33} And
when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that
a prophet hath been among them.

{Ezekiel 34:1} And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 34:2} Son of
man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto
them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe [be] to the
shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds
feed the flocks? {Ezekiel 34:3} Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the
wool, ye kill them that are fed: [but] ye feed not the flock. {Ezekiel 34:4}
The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that
which was sick, neither have ye bound up [that which was] broken,
neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have
ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye
ruled them. {Ezekiel 34:5} And they were scattered, because [there is] no
shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when
they were scattered. {Ezekiel 34:6} My sheep wandered through all the
mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon
all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek [after them.

]{Ezekiel 34:7} Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; {Ezekiel 34:8}
[As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey,
and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because [there
was] no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the
shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; {Ezekiel 34:9} Therefore, O ye
shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; {Ezekiel 34:10} Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold, I [am] against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at
their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither
shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my
flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.

{Ezekiel 34:11} For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, [even] I, will both
search my sheep, and seek them out. {Ezekiel 34:12} As a shepherd seeketh out
his flock in the day that he is among his sheep [that are] scattered;
so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places
where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. {Ezekiel 34:13} And
I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the
countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon
the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places
of the country. {Ezekiel 34:14} I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon
the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie
in a good fold, and [in] a fat pasture shall they feed upon the
mountains of Israel. {Ezekiel 34:15} I will feed my flock, and I will cause
them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD. {Ezekiel 34:16} I will seek that which
was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up
[that which was] broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I
will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.
{Ezekiel 34:17} And [as for] you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold,
I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats.
{Ezekiel 34:18} [Seemeth it] a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good
pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your
pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the
residue with your feet? {Ezekiel 34:19} And [as for] my flock, they eat that
which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have
fouled with your feet.

{Ezekiel 34:20} Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I,
[even] I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean
cattle. {Ezekiel 34:21} Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and
pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them
abroad; {Ezekiel 34:22} Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more
be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle. {Ezekiel 34:23} And I
will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, [even] my
servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
{Ezekiel 34:24} And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince
among them; I the LORD have spoken [it. ]{Ezekiel 34:25} And I will make with
them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out
of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep
in the woods. {Ezekiel 34:26} And I will make them and the places round about
my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his
season; there shall be showers of blessing. {Ezekiel 34:27} And the tree of the
field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase,
and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I [am] the
LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them
out of the hand of those that served themselves of them. {Ezekiel 34:28} And
they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of
the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make
[them] afraid. {Ezekiel 34:29} And I will raise up for them a plant of renown,
and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither
bear the shame of the heathen any more. {Ezekiel 34:30} Thus shall they know
that I the LORD their God [am] with them, and [that] they, [even] the
house of Israel, [are] my people, saith the Lord GOD. {Ezekiel 34:31} And ye my
flock, the flock of my pasture, [are] men, [and] I [am] your God, saith
the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 35:1} Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 35:2}
Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
{Ezekiel 35:3} And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir,
I [am] against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and
I will make thee most desolate. {Ezekiel 35:4} I will lay thy cities waste, and
thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.
{Ezekiel 35:5} Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed [the
blood of] the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time
of their calamity, in the time [that their] iniquity [had] an end:
{Ezekiel 35:6} Therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee
unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated
blood, even blood shall pursue thee. {Ezekiel 35:7} Thus will I make mount Seir
most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that
returneth. {Ezekiel 35:8} And I will fill his mountains with his slain [men:]
in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they
fall that are slain with the sword. {Ezekiel 35:9} I will make thee perpetual
desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I
[am] the LORD. {Ezekiel 35:10} Because thou hast said, These two nations and
these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the
LORD was there: {Ezekiel 35:11} Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I
will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy
which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make
myself known among them, when I have judged thee. {Ezekiel 35:12} And thou
shalt know that I [am] the LORD, [and that] I have heard all thy
blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel,
saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume. {Ezekiel 35:13}
Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied
your words against me: I have heard [them. ]{Ezekiel 35:14} Thus saith the Lord
GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate. {Ezekiel 35:15}
As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel,
because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be
desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, [even] all of it: and they
shall know that I [am] the LORD.

{Ezekiel 36:1} Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel,
and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD: {Ezekiel 36:2} Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even
the ancient high places are ours in possession: {Ezekiel 36:3} Therefore
prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made [you]
desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a
possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the
lips of talkers, and [are] an infamy of the people: {Ezekiel 36:4} Therefore,
ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the
Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the
valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken,
which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that
[are] round about; {Ezekiel 36:5} Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in
the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the
heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into
their possession with the joy of all [their] heart, with despiteful
minds, to cast it out for a prey. {Ezekiel 36:6} Prophesy therefore concerning
the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to
the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have
spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame
of the heathen: {Ezekiel 36:7} Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted
up mine hand, Surely the heathen that [are] about you, they shall bear
their shame.

{Ezekiel 36:8} But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your
branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at
hand to come. {Ezekiel 36:9} For, behold, I [am] for you, and I will turn unto
you, and ye shall be tilled and sown: {Ezekiel 36:10} And I will multiply men
upon you, all the house of Israel, [even] all of it: and the cities
shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded: {Ezekiel 36:11} And I will
multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring
fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better
[unto you] than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I [am] the
LORD. {Ezekiel 36:12} Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, [even] my people
Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their
inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them [of men.
]{Ezekiel 36:13} Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say unto you, Thou
[land] devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations; {Ezekiel 36:14}
Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nations
any more, saith the Lord GOD. {Ezekiel 36:15} Neither will I cause [men] to
hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear
the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy
nations to fall any more, saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 36:16} Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 36:17}
Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they
defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before
me as the uncleanness of a removed woman. {Ezekiel 36:18} Wherefore I poured my
fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for
their idols [wherewith] they had polluted it: {Ezekiel 36:19} And I scattered
them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries:
according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.
{Ezekiel 36:20} And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they
profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These [are] the people
of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.

{Ezekiel 36:21} But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel
had profaned among the heathen, whither they went. {Ezekiel 36:22} Therefore
say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not [this]
for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which
ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. {Ezekiel 36:23} And I will
sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye
have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I
[am] the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you
before their eyes. {Ezekiel 36:24} For I will take you from among the heathen,
and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own
land.

{Ezekiel 36:25} Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be
clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I
cleanse you. {Ezekiel 36:26} A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit
will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your
flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. {Ezekiel 36:27} And I will put my
spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall
keep my judgments, and do [them. ]{Ezekiel 36:28} And ye shall dwell in the
land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will
be your God. {Ezekiel 36:29} I will also save you from all your uncleannesses:
and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine
upon you. {Ezekiel 36:30} And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the
increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine
among the heathen. {Ezekiel 36:31} Then shall ye remember your own evil ways,
and your doings that [were] not good, and shall lothe yourselves in
your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. {Ezekiel 36:32}
Not for your sakes do I [this,] saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto
you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.
{Ezekiel 36:33} Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed
you from all your iniquities I will also cause [you] to dwell in the
cities, and the wastes shall be builded. {Ezekiel 36:34} And the desolate land
shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that
passed by. {Ezekiel 36:35} And they shall say, This land that was desolate is
become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined
cities [are become] fenced, [and] are inhabited. {Ezekiel 36:36} Then the
heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build
the ruined [places, and] plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have
spoken [it,] and I will do [it. ]{Ezekiel 36:37} Thus saith the Lord GOD; I
will yet [for] this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do [it]
for them; I will increase them with men like a flock. {Ezekiel 36:38} As the
holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall
the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that
I [am] the LORD.

{Ezekiel 37:1} The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the
spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which
[was] full of bones, {Ezekiel 37:2} And caused me to pass by them round about:
and, behold, [there were] very many in the open valley; and, lo, [they
were] very dry. {Ezekiel 37:3} And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones
live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. {Ezekiel 37:4} Again he said
unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones,
hear the word of the LORD. {Ezekiel 37:5} Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these
bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall
live: {Ezekiel 37:6} And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh
upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall
live; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD. {Ezekiel 37:7} So I prophesied as
I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a
shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. {Ezekiel 37:8} And when
I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin
covered them above: but [there was ]no breath in them. {Ezekiel 37:9} Then said
he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to
the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath,
and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. {Ezekiel 37:10} So I
prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they
lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

{Ezekiel 37:11} Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole
house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is
lost: we are cut off for our parts. {Ezekiel 37:12} Therefore prophesy and say
unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open
your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you
into the land of Israel. {Ezekiel 37:13} And ye shall know that I [am] the
LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up
out of your graves, {Ezekiel 37:14} And shall put my spirit in you, and ye
shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know
that I the LORD have spoken [it,] and performed [it,] saith the LORD.

{Ezekiel 37:15} The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 37:16}
Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For
Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another
stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and [for]
all the house of Israel his companions: {Ezekiel 37:17} And join them one to
another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.

{Ezekiel 37:18} And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee,
saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou [meanest] by these? {Ezekiel 37:19} Say
unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of
Joseph, which [is] in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his
fellows, and will put them with him, [even] with the stick of Judah,
and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.

{Ezekiel 37:20} And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand
before their eyes. {Ezekiel 37:21} And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen,
whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring
them into their own land: {Ezekiel 37:22} And I will make them one nation in
the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to
them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be
divided into two kingdoms any more at all: {Ezekiel 37:23} Neither shall they
defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable
things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out
of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse
them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God. {Ezekiel 37:24} And
David my servant [shall be] king over them; and they all shall have one
shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my
statutes, and do them. {Ezekiel 37:25} And they shall dwell in the land that I
have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and
they shall dwell therein, [even] they, and their children, and their
children's children for ever: and my servant David [shall be] their
prince for ever. {Ezekiel 37:26} Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with
them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place
them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them
for evermore.

{Ezekiel 37:27} My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

{Ezekiel 37:28} And the heathen
shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall
be in the midst of them for evermore.

{Ezekiel 38:1} And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {Ezekiel 38:2} Son of
man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of
Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, {Ezekiel 38:3} And say, Thus saith
the Lord GOD; Behold I [am] against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of
Meshech and Tubal: {Ezekiel 38:4} And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into
thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and
horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts [of armour, even] a great
company [with] bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
{Ezekiel 38:5} Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield
and helmet: {Ezekiel 38:6} Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of
the north quarters, and all his bands: [and] many people with thee.
{Ezekiel 38:7} Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy
company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.

{Ezekiel 38:8} After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years
thou shalt come into the land [that is] brought back from the sword,
[and is] gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel,
which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the
nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. {Ezekiel 38:9} Thou shalt
ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the
land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. {Ezekiel 38:10} Thus
saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, [that] at the same time
shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
{Ezekiel 38:11} And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled
villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of
them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, {Ezekiel 38:12}
To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the
desolate places [that are now] inhabited, and upon the people [that
are] gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods,
that dwell in the midst of the land. {Ezekiel 38:13} Sheba, and Dedan, and the
merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto
thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to
take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and
goods, to take a great spoil?

{Ezekiel 38:14} Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith
the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely,
shalt thou not know [it? ]{Ezekiel 38:15} And thou shalt come from thy place
out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them
riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: {Ezekiel 38:16} And
thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the
land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my
land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee,
O Gog, before their eyes. {Ezekiel 38:17} Thus saith the Lord GOD; [Art] thou
he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of
Israel, which prophesied in those days [many] years that I would bring
thee against them? {Ezekiel 38:18} And it shall come to pass at the same time
when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD,
[that] my fury shall come up in my face. {Ezekiel 38:19} For in my jealousy
[and] in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there
shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; {Ezekiel 38:20} So that the
fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the
field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the
men that [are] upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence,
and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall
fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. {Ezekiel 38:21} And I will call
for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord
GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother. {Ezekiel 38:22} And I will
plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon
him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that [are] with him,
an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. {Ezekiel 38:23}
Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in
the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

{Ezekiel 39:1} Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say,
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O Gog, the chief
prince of Meshech and Tubal: {Ezekiel 39:2} And I will turn thee back, and
leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from
the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
{Ezekiel 39:3} And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause
thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. {Ezekiel 39:4} Thou shalt fall upon
the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that
[is] with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort,
and [to] the beasts of the field to be devoured. {Ezekiel 39:5} Thou shalt fall
upon the open field: for I have spoken [it,] saith the Lord GOD. {Ezekiel 39:6}
And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly
in the isles: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD. {Ezekiel 39:7} So will
I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will
not [let them] pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall
know that I [am] the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.

{Ezekiel 39:8} Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this
[is] the day whereof I have spoken. {Ezekiel 39:9} And they that dwell in the
cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the
weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows,
and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire
seven years: {Ezekiel 39:10} So that they shall take no wood out of the field,
neither cut down [any] out of the forests; for they shall burn the
weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and
rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 39:11} And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will give
unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the
passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the [noses] of the
passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and
they shall call [it] The valley of Hamon-gog. {Ezekiel 39:12} And seven months
shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the
land. {Ezekiel 39:13} Yea, all the people of the land shall bury [them;] and it
shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the
Lord GOD. {Ezekiel 39:14} And they shall sever out men of continual employment,
passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain
upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven
months shall they search. {Ezekiel 39:15} And the passengers [that] pass
through the land, when [any] seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a
sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon-gog.
{Ezekiel 39:16} And also the name of the city [shall be] Hamonah. Thus shall
they cleanse the land.

{Ezekiel 39:17} And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto
every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble
yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice
that I do sacrifice for you, [even] a great sacrifice upon the
mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. {Ezekiel 39:18} Ye
shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes
of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them
fatlings of Bashan. {Ezekiel 39:19} And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and
drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed
for you. {Ezekiel 39:20} Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and
chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
{Ezekiel 39:21} And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen
shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have
laid upon them. {Ezekiel 39:22} So the house of Israel shall know that I [am]
the LORD their God from that day and forward.

{Ezekiel 39:23} And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went
into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me,
therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their
enemies: so fell they all by the sword. {Ezekiel 39:24} According to their
uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto
them, and hid my face from them. {Ezekiel 39:25} Therefore thus saith the Lord
GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon
the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
{Ezekiel 39:26} After that they have borne their shame, and all their
trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt
safely in their land, and none made [them] afraid. {Ezekiel 39:27} When I have
brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their
enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
{Ezekiel 39:28} Then shall they know that I [am] the LORD their God, which
caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have
gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more
there. {Ezekiel 39:29} Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I
have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 40:1} In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the
beginning of the year, in the tenth [day] of the month, in the
fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day
the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither. {Ezekiel 40:2} In the
visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a
very high mountain, by which [was] as the frame of a city on the south.
{Ezekiel 40:3} And he brought me thither, and, behold, [there was] a man, whose
appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his
hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate. {Ezekiel 40:4} And the
man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with
thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to
the intent that I might shew [them] unto thee [art] thou brought
hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel. {Ezekiel 40:5} And
behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's
hand a measuring reed of six cubits [long] by the cubit and an hand
breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the
height, one reed.

{Ezekiel 40:6} Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and
went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate,
[which was] one reed broad; and the other threshold [of the gate, which
was] one reed broad. {Ezekiel 40:7} And [every] little chamber [was] one reed
long, and one reed broad; and between the little chambers [were] five
cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within
[was] one reed. {Ezekiel 40:8} He measured also the porch of the gate within,
one reed. {Ezekiel 40:9} Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits;
and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate [was]
inward. {Ezekiel 40:10} And the little chambers of the gate eastward [were]
three on this side, and three on that side; they three [were] of one
measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
{Ezekiel 40:11} And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten
cubits; [and] the length of the gate, thirteen cubits. {Ezekiel 40:12} The
space also before the little chambers [was] one cubit [on this side,]
and the space [was] one cubit on that side: and the little chambers
[were] six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side. {Ezekiel 40:13} He
measured then the gate from the roof of [one] little chamber to the
roof of another: the breadth [was] five and twenty cubits, door against
door. {Ezekiel 40:14} He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the
post of the court round about the gate. {Ezekiel 40:15} And from the face of
the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate
[were] fifty cubits. {Ezekiel 40:16} And [there were] narrow windows to the
little chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and
likewise to the arches: and windows [were] round about inward: and upon
[each] post [were] palm trees. {Ezekiel 40:17} Then brought he me into the
outward court, and, lo, [there were] chambers, and a pavement made for
the court round about: thirty chambers [were] upon the pavement.
{Ezekiel 40:18} And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the
length of the gates [was] the lower pavement. {Ezekiel 40:19} Then he measured
the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of
the inner court without, an hundred cubits eastward and northward.

{Ezekiel 40:20} And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the
north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof. {Ezekiel 40:21}
And the little chambers thereof [were] three on this side and three on
that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the
measure of the first gate: the length thereof [was] fifty cubits, and
the breadth five and twenty cubits. {Ezekiel 40:22} And their windows, and
their arches, and their palm trees, [were] after the measure of the
gate that looketh toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven
steps; and the arches thereof [were] before them. {Ezekiel 40:23} And the gate
of the inner court [was] over against the gate toward the north, and
toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits.

{Ezekiel 40:24} After that he brought me toward the south, and behold a gate
toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches
thereof according to these measures. {Ezekiel 40:25} And [there were] windows
in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows: the
length [was] fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
{Ezekiel 40:26} And [there were] seven steps to go up to it, and the arches
thereof [were] before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side,
and another on that side, upon the posts thereof. {Ezekiel 40:27} And [there
was] a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from
gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits. {Ezekiel 40:28} And he brought
me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate
according to these measures; {Ezekiel 40:29} And the little chambers thereof,
and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these
measures: and [there were] windows in it and in the arches thereof
round about: [it was] fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits
broad. {Ezekiel 40:30} And the arches round about [were] five and twenty cubits
long, and five cubits broad. {Ezekiel 40:31} And the arches thereof [were]
toward the utter court; and palm trees [were] upon the posts thereof:
and the going up to it [had] eight steps.

{Ezekiel 40:32} And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and
he measured the gate according to these measures. {Ezekiel 40:33} And the
little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof,
[were] according to these measures: and [there were] windows therein
and in the arches thereof round about: [it was] fifty cubits long, and
five and twenty cubits broad. {Ezekiel 40:34} And the arches thereof [were]
toward the outward court; and palm trees [were] upon the posts thereof,
on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it [had] eight
steps. {Ezekiel 40:35} And he brought me to the north gate, and measured [it]
according to these measures; {Ezekiel 40:36} The little chambers thereof, the
posts thereof, and the arches thereof, and the windows to it round
about: the length [was] fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty
cubits. {Ezekiel 40:37} And the posts thereof [were] toward the utter court;
and palm trees [were] upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that
side: and the going up to it [had] eight steps. {Ezekiel 40:38} And the
chambers and the entries thereof [were] by the posts of the gates,
where they washed the burnt offering.

{Ezekiel 40:39} And in the porch of the gate [were] two tables on this side,
and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering and the
sin offering and the trespass offering. {Ezekiel 40:40} And at the side
without, as one goeth up to the entry of the north gate, [were] two
tables; and on the other side, which [was] at the porch of the gate,
[were] two tables. {Ezekiel 40:41} Four tables [were] on this side, and four
tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon
they slew [their sacrifices. ]{Ezekiel 40:42} And the four tables [were] of
hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and an half long, and a
cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon also they laid
the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offering and the
sacrifice. {Ezekiel 40:43} And within [were] hooks, an hand broad, fastened
round about: and upon the tables [was] the flesh of the offering.

{Ezekiel 40:44} And without the inner gate [were] the chambers of the
singers in the inner court, which [was] at the side of the north gate;
and their prospect [was] toward the south: one at the side of the east
gate [having] the prospect toward the north. {Ezekiel 40:45} And he said unto
me, This chamber, whose prospect [is] toward the south, [is] for the
priests, the keepers of the charge of the house. {Ezekiel 40:46} And the
chamber whose prospect [is] toward the north [is] for the priests, the
keepers of the charge of the altar: these [are] the sons of Zadok among
the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to minister unto him.
{Ezekiel 40:47} So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an
hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar [that was] before the
house.

{Ezekiel 40:48} And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured
[each] post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on
that side: and the breadth of the gate [was] three cubits on this side,
and three cubits on that side. {Ezekiel 40:49} The length of the porch [was]
twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and [he brought me] by
the steps whereby they went up to it: and [there were] pillars by the
posts, one on this side, and another on that side.

{Ezekiel 41:1} Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the
posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the
other side, [which was] the breadth of the tabernacle. {Ezekiel 41:2} And the
breadth of the door [was] ten cubits; and the sides of the door [were]
five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he
measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty
cubits. {Ezekiel 41:3} Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door,
two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door,
seven cubits. {Ezekiel 41:4} So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits;
and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me,
This [is] the most holy [place. ]{Ezekiel 41:5} After he measured the wall of
the house, six cubits; and the breadth of [every] side chamber, four
cubits, round about the house on every side. {Ezekiel 41:6} And the side
chambers [were] three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they
entered into the wall which [was] of the house for the side chambers
round about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the
wall of the house. {Ezekiel 41:7} And [there was] an enlarging, and a winding
about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the
house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of
the house [was still] upward, and so increased [from] the lowest
[chamber] to the highest by the midst. {Ezekiel 41:8} I saw also the height of
the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers [were] a
full reed of six great cubits. {Ezekiel 41:9} The thickness of the wall, which
[was] for the side chamber without, [was] five cubits: and [that] which
[was] left [was] the place of the side chambers that [were] within.
{Ezekiel 41:10} And between the chambers [was] the wideness of twenty cubits
round about the house on every side. {Ezekiel 41:11} And the doors of the side
chambers [were] toward [the place that was] left, one door toward the
north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place
that was left [was] five cubits round about. {Ezekiel 41:12} Now the building
that [was] before the separate place at the end toward the west [was]
seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building [was] five cubits
thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits. {Ezekiel 41:13} So he
measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and
the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long; {Ezekiel 41:14}
Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place
toward the east, an hundred cubits. {Ezekiel 41:15} And he measured the length
of the building over against the separate place which [was] behind it,
and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, an
hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court;
{Ezekiel 41:16} The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round
about on their three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood
round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows
[were] covered; {Ezekiel 41:17} To that above the door, even unto the inner
house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without,
by measure. {Ezekiel 41:18} And [it was] made with cherubims and palm trees, so
that a palm tree [was] between a cherub and a cherub; and [every]
cherub had two faces; {Ezekiel 41:19} So that the face of a man [was] toward
the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the
palm tree on the other side: [it was] made through all the house round
about. {Ezekiel 41:20} From the ground unto above the door [were] cherubims and
palm trees made, and [on] the wall of the temple. {Ezekiel 41:21} The posts of
the temple [were] squared, [and] the face of the sanctuary; the
appearance [of the one] as the appearance [of the other. ]{Ezekiel 41:22} The
altar of wood [was] three cubits high, and the length thereof two
cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls
thereof, [were] of wood: and he said unto me, This [is] the table that
[is] before the LORD. {Ezekiel 41:23} And the temple and the sanctuary had two
doors. {Ezekiel 41:24} And the doors had two leaves [apiece,] two turning
leaves; two [leaves] for the one door, and two leaves for the other
[door. ]{Ezekiel 41:25} And [there were] made on them, on the doors of the
temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as [were] made upon the walls;
and [there were] thick planks upon the face of the porch without.
{Ezekiel 41:26} And [there were] narrow windows and palm trees on the one side
and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and [upon] the side
chambers of the house, and thick planks.

{Ezekiel 42:1} Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward
the north: and he brought me into the chamber that [was] over against
the separate place, and which [was] before the building toward the
north. {Ezekiel 42:2} Before the length of an hundred cubits [was] the north
door, and the breadth [was] fifty cubits. {Ezekiel 42:3} Over against the
twenty [cubits] which [were] for the inner court, and over against the
pavement which [was] for the utter court, [was] gallery against gallery
in three [stories. ]{Ezekiel 42:4} And before the chambers [was] a walk of ten
cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the
north. {Ezekiel 42:5} Now the upper chambers [were] shorter: for the galleries
were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the
building. {Ezekiel 42:6} For they [were] in three [stories,] but had not
pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore [the building] was
straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
{Ezekiel 42:7} And the wall that [was] without over against the chambers,
toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length
thereof [was] fifty cubits. {Ezekiel 42:8} For the length of the chambers that
[were] in the utter court [was] fifty cubits: and, lo, before the
temple [were] an hundred cubits. {Ezekiel 42:9} And from under these chambers
[was] the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter
court. {Ezekiel 42:10} The chambers [were] in the thickness of the wall of the
court toward the east, over against the separate place, and over
against the building. {Ezekiel 42:11} And the way before them [was] like the
appearance of the chambers which [were] toward the north, as long as
they, [and] as broad as they: and all their goings out [were] both
according to their fashions, and according to their doors. {Ezekiel 42:12} And
according to the doors of the chambers that [were] toward the south
[was] a door in the head of the way, [even] the way directly before the
wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.

{Ezekiel 42:13} Then said he unto me, The north chambers [and] the south
chambers, which [are] before the separate place, they [be] holy
chambers, where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the
most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the
meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the
place [is] holy. {Ezekiel 42:14} When the priests enter therein, then shall
they not go out of the holy [place] into the utter court, but there
they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they [are]
holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to [those
things] which [are] for the people. {Ezekiel 42:15} Now when he had made an end
of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose
prospect [is] toward the east, and measured it round about. {Ezekiel 42:16} He
measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds,
with the measuring reed round about. {Ezekiel 42:17} He measured the north
side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. {Ezekiel 42:18}
He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.

{Ezekiel 42:19} He turned about to the west side, [and] measured five
hundred reeds with the measuring reed. {Ezekiel 42:20} He measured it by the
four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred [reeds] long, and
five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the
profane place.

{Ezekiel 43:1} Afterward he brought me to the gate, [even] the gate that
looketh toward the east: {Ezekiel 43:2} And, behold, the glory of the God of
Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice [was] like a noise
of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory. {Ezekiel 43:3} And [it
was] according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, [even]
according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and
the visions [were] like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and
I fell upon my face. {Ezekiel 43:4} And the glory of the LORD came into the
house by the way of the gate whose prospect [is] toward the east.
{Ezekiel 43:5} So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court;
and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house. {Ezekiel 43:6} And I heard
[him] speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.

{Ezekiel 43:7} And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and
the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of
the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of
Israel no more defile, [neither] they, nor their kings, by their
whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.
{Ezekiel 43:8} In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their
post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even
defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed:
wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger. {Ezekiel 43:9} Now let them put
away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and
I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.

{Ezekiel 43:10} Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that
they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the
pattern. {Ezekiel 43:11} And if they be ashamed of all that they have done,
shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the
goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms
thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and
all the laws thereof: and write [it] in their sight, that they may keep
the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.
{Ezekiel 43:12} This [is] the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain
the whole limit thereof round about [shall be] most holy. Behold, this
[is] the law of the house. {Ezekiel 43:13} And these [are] the measures of the
altar after the cubits: The cubit [is] a cubit and an hand breadth;
even the bottom [shall be] a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the
border thereof by the edge thereof round about [shall be] a span: and
this [shall be] the higher place of the altar. {Ezekiel 43:14} And from the
bottom [upon] the ground [even] to the lower settle [shall be] two
cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle [even] to
the greater settle [shall be] four cubits, and the breadth [one] cubit.
{Ezekiel 43:15} So the altar [shall be] four cubits; and from the altar and
upward [shall be] four horns. {Ezekiel 43:16} And the altar [shall be] twelve
[cubits] long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof.
{Ezekiel 43:17} And the settle [shall be] fourteen [cubits] long and fourteen
broad in the four squares thereof; and the border about it [shall be]
half a cubit; and the bottom thereof [shall be] a cubit about; and his
stairs shall look toward the east. {Ezekiel 43:18} And he said unto me, Son of
man, thus saith the Lord GOD; These [are] the ordinances of the altar
in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon,
and to sprinkle blood thereon. {Ezekiel 43:19} And thou shalt give to the
priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto
me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin
offering. {Ezekiel 43:20} And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put
[it] on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle,
and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.
{Ezekiel 43:21} Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he
shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the
sanctuary. {Ezekiel 43:22} And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the
goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the
altar, as they did cleanse [it] with the bullock. {Ezekiel 43:23} When thou
hast made an end of cleansing [it,] thou shalt offer a young bullock
without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.

Ezekiel 43:24 And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the LORD.

{Ezekiel 43:25} Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat
[for] a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a
ram out of the flock, without blemish. {Ezekiel 43:26} Seven days shall they
purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.
{Ezekiel 43:27} And when these days are expired, it shall be, [that] upon the
eighth day, and [so] forward, the priests shall make your burnt
offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept
you, saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 44:1} Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward
sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it [was] shut. {Ezekiel 44:2} Then
said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened,
and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel,
hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut. {Ezekiel 44:3} [It is] for
the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the
LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of [that] gate, and shall
go out by the way of the same.

{Ezekiel 44:4} Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the
house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the
house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face. {Ezekiel 44:5} And the LORD said
unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear
with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances
of the house of the LORD, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the
entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary.
{Ezekiel 44:6} And thou shalt say to the rebellious, [even] to the house of
Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O ye house of Israel, let it suffice
you of all your abominations, {Ezekiel 44:7} In that ye have brought [into my
sanctuary] strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in
flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, [even] my house, when ye
offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant
because of all your abominations. {Ezekiel 44:8} And ye have not kept the
charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my
sanctuary for yourselves.

{Ezekiel 44:9} Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart,
nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any
stranger that [is] among the children of Israel. {Ezekiel 44:10} And the
Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which
went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their
iniquity. {Ezekiel 44:11} Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, [having]
charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they
shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and
they shall stand before them to minister unto them. {Ezekiel 44:12} Because
they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of
Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand
against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity.
{Ezekiel 44:13} And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a
priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most
holy [place:] but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations
which they have committed. {Ezekiel 44:14} But I will make them keepers of the
charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that
shall be done therein.

{Ezekiel 44:15} But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept
the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from
me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall
stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord
GOD: {Ezekiel 44:16} They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come
near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.

{Ezekiel 44:17} And it shall come to pass, [that] when they enter in at the
gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments;
and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of
the inner court, and within. {Ezekiel 44:18} They shall have linen bonnets upon
their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall
not gird [themselves] with any thing that causeth sweat. {Ezekiel 44:19} And
when they go forth into the utter court, [even] into the utter court to
the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered,
and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other
garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.
{Ezekiel 44:20} Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to
grow long; they shall only poll their heads. {Ezekiel 44:21} Neither shall any
priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court. {Ezekiel 44:22}
Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put
away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel,
or a widow that had a priest before. {Ezekiel 44:23} And they shall teach my
people [the difference] between the holy and profane, and cause them to
discern between the unclean and the clean. {Ezekiel 44:24} And in controversy
they shall stand in judgment; [and] they shall judge it according to my
judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine
assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths. {Ezekiel 44:25} And they shall
come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for
mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that
hath had no husband, they may defile themselves. {Ezekiel 44:26} And after he
is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days. {Ezekiel 44:27} And in the
day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister
in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith the Lord GOD.
{Ezekiel 44:28} And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I [am] their
inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I [am]
their possession. {Ezekiel 44:29} They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin
offering, and the trespass offering; and every dedicated thing in
Israel shall be theirs. {Ezekiel 44:30} And the first of all the firstfruits of
all [things,] and every oblation of all, of every [sort] of your
oblations, shall be the priest's: ye shall also give unto the priest
the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in
thine house. {Ezekiel 44:31} The priests shall not eat of any thing that is
dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.

{Ezekiel 45:1} Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for
inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto the LORD, an holy portion
of the land: the length [shall be] the length of five and twenty
thousand [reeds,] and the breadth [shall be] ten thousand. This [shall
be] holy in all the borders thereof round about. {Ezekiel 45:2} Of this there
shall be for the sanctuary five hundred [in length,] with five hundred
[in breadth,] square round about; and fifty cubits round about for the
suburbs thereof. {Ezekiel 45:3} And of this measure shalt thou measure the
length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand:
and in it shall be the sanctuary [and] the most holy [place. ]{Ezekiel 45:4}
The holy [portion] of the land shall be for the priests the ministers
of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister unto the LORD: and
it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for the
sanctuary. {Ezekiel 45:5} And the five and twenty thousand of length, and the
ten thousand of breadth, shall also the Levites, the ministers of the
house, have for themselves, for a possession for twenty chambers.

{Ezekiel 45:6} And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand
broad, and five and twenty thousand long, over against the oblation of
the holy [portion:] it shall be for the whole house of Israel.

{Ezekiel 45:7} And [a portion shall be] for the prince on the one side and
on the other side of the oblation of the holy [portion,] and of the
possession of the city, before the oblation of the holy [portion,] and
before the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and
from the east side eastward: and the length [shall be] over against one
of the portions, from the west border unto the east border. {Ezekiel 45:8} In
the land shall be his possession in Israel: and my princes shall no
more oppress my people; and [the rest of] the land shall they give to
the house of Israel according to their tribes.

{Ezekiel 45:9} Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of
Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice,
take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD. {Ezekiel 45:10} Ye
shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath. I {Ezekiel 45:11}
The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may
contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah the tenth part of an
homer: the measure thereof shall be after the homer. {Ezekiel 45:12} And the
shekel [shall be] twenty gerahs: twenty shekels, five and twenty
shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh. {Ezekiel 45:13} This [is] the
oblation that ye shall offer; the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of
wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of
barley: {Ezekiel 45:14} Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, [ye
shall offer] the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, [which is] an
homer of ten baths; for ten baths [are] an homer: {Ezekiel 45:15} And one lamb
out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the fat pastures of
Israel; for a meat offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace
offerings, to make reconciliation for them, saith the Lord GOD. {Ezekiel 45:16}
All the people of the land shall give this oblation for the prince in
Israel. {Ezekiel 45:17} And it shall be the prince's part [to give] burnt
offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and
in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house
of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering,
and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation
for the house of Israel. {Ezekiel 45:18} Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the first
[month,] in the first [day] of the month, thou shalt take a young
bullock without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary: {Ezekiel 45:19} And the
priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put [it] upon
the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of the
altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court. {Ezekiel 45:20} And
so thou shalt do the seventh [day] of the month for every one that
erreth, and for [him that is] simple: so shall ye reconcile the house.
{Ezekiel 45:21} In the first [month,] in the fourteenth day of the month, ye
shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall
be eaten. {Ezekiel 45:22} And upon that day shall the prince prepare for
himself and for all the people of the land a bullock [for] a sin
offering. {Ezekiel 45:23} And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt
offering to the LORD, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish
daily the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily [for] a sin
offering. {Ezekiel 45:24} And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for
a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and an hin of oil for an ephah.
{Ezekiel 45:25} In the seventh [month,] in the fifteenth day of the month,
shall he do the like in the feast of the seven days, according to the
sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the
meat offering, and according to the oil.

{Ezekiel 46:1} Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that
looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the
sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be
opened. {Ezekiel 46:2} And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of
[that] gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the
priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and
he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth;
but the gate shall not be shut until the evening. {Ezekiel 46:3} Likewise the
people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the
LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons. {Ezekiel 46:4} And the burnt
offering that the prince shall offer unto the LORD in the sabbath day
[shall be] six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish. {Ezekiel 46:5}
And the meat offering [shall be] an ephah for a ram, and the meat
offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give, and an hin of oil
to an ephah. {Ezekiel 46:6} And in the day of the new moon [it shall be] a
young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be
without blemish. {Ezekiel 46:7} And he shall prepare a meat offering, an ephah
for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as
his hand shall attain unto, and an hin of oil to an ephah. {Ezekiel 46:8} And
when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of
[that] gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof.

{Ezekiel 46:9} But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in
the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to
worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth
by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north
gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in,
but shall go forth over against it. {Ezekiel 46:10} And the prince in the midst
of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go
forth. {Ezekiel 46:11} And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meat
offering shall be an ephah to a bullock, and ephah to a ram, and to the
lambs as he is able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah. {Ezekiel 46:12} Now
when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace
offerings voluntarily unto the LORD, [one] shall then open him the gate
that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering
and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall go
forth; and after his going forth [one] shall shut the gate. {Ezekiel 46:13}
Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the LORD [of] a lamb of
the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning.
{Ezekiel 46:14} And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning,
the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to
temper with the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a perpetual
ordinance unto the LORD. {Ezekiel 46:15} Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and
the meat offering, and the oil, every morning [for] a continual burnt
offering.

{Ezekiel 46:16} Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift unto any
of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons'; it [shall be]
their possession by inheritance. {Ezekiel 46:17} But if he give a gift of his
inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of
liberty; after it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall
be his sons' for them. {Ezekiel 46:18} Moreover the prince shall not take of
the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their
possession; [but] he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own
possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his
possession.

{Ezekiel 46:19} After he brought me through the entry, which [was] at the
side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked
toward the north: and, behold, there [was] a place on the two sides
westward. {Ezekiel 46:20} Then said he unto me, This is the place where the
priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, where
they shall bake the meat offering; that they bear [them] not out into
the utter court, to sanctify the people. {Ezekiel 46:21} Then he brought me
forth into the utter court, and caused me to pass by the four corners
of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court [there was] a
court. {Ezekiel 46:22} In the four corners of the court [there were] courts
joined of forty [cubits] long and thirty broad: these four corners
[were] of one measure. {Ezekiel 46:23} And [there was] a row [of building]
round about in them, round about them four, and [it was] made with
boiling places under the rows round about. {Ezekiel 46:24} Then said he unto
me, These [are] the places of them that boil, where the ministers of
the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.

{Ezekiel 47:1} Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house;
and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house
eastward: for the forefront of the house [stood toward] the east, and
the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at
the south [side] of the altar. {Ezekiel 47:2} Then brought he me out of the way
of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter
gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out
waters on the right side.

{Ezekiel 47:3} And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters [were] to the ancles.

{Ezekiel 47:4}Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters [were] to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters [were] to the loins.

{Ezekiel 47:5} Afterward he measured a thousand; [and it was] a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.

{Ezekiel 47:6} And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen [this?] Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.

{Ezekiel 47:7} Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river [were]
very many trees on the one side and on the other. {Ezekiel 47:8} Then said he
unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down
into the desert, and go into the sea: [which being] brought forth into
the sea, the waters shall be healed. {Ezekiel 47:9} And it shall come to pass,
[that] every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers
shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of
fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be
healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh. {Ezekiel 47:10}
And it shall come to pass, [that] the fishers shall stand upon it from
En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; they shall be a [place] to spread forth
nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the
great sea, exceeding many. {Ezekiel 47:11} But the miry places thereof and the
marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.

{Ezekiel 47:12} And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.

{Ezekiel 47:13} Thus saith the Lord GOD; This [shall be] the border, whereby
ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel:
Joseph [shall have two] portions. {Ezekiel 47:14} And ye shall inherit it, one
as well as another: [concerning] the which I lifted up mine hand to
give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for
inheritance. {Ezekiel 47:15} And this [shall be] the border of the land toward
the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to
Zedad; {Ezekiel 47:16} Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which [is] between the border
of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazar-hatticon, which is by the
coast of Hauran. {Ezekiel 47:17} And the border from the sea shall be
Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the
border of Hamath. And [this is] the north side. {Ezekiel 47:18} And the east
side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead,
and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east
sea. And [this is] the east side. {Ezekiel 47:19} And the south side southward,
from Tamar [even] to the waters of strife [in] Kadesh, the river to the
great sea. And [this is] the south side southward. {Ezekiel 47:20} The west
side also [shall be] the great sea from the border, till a man come
over against Hamath. This [is] the west side. {Ezekiel 47:21} So shall ye
divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.

{Ezekiel 47:22} And it shall come to pass, [that] ye shall divide it by lot
for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among
you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you
as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have
inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. {Ezekiel 47:23} And it shall
come to pass, [that] in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall
ye give [him] his inheritance, saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 48:1} Now these [are] the names of the tribes. From the north end
to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazar-enan,
the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are
his sides east [and] west; a [portion for] Dan. {Ezekiel 48:2} And by the
border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, a [portion for]
Asher. {Ezekiel 48:3} And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto
the west side, a [portion for] Naphtali. {Ezekiel 48:4} And by the border of
Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, a [portion for]
Manasseh. {Ezekiel 48:5} And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto
the west side, a [portion for] Ephraim. {Ezekiel 48:6} And by the border of
Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, a [portion for]
Reuben. {Ezekiel 48:7} And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the
west side, a [portion for] Judah.

{Ezekiel 48:8} And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west
side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty
thousand [reeds in] breadth, and [in] length as one of the [other]
parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall
be in the midst of it. {Ezekiel 48:9} The oblation that ye shall offer unto the
LORD [shall be] of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten
thousand in breadth. {Ezekiel 48:10} And for them, [even] for the priests,
shall be [this] holy oblation; toward the north five and twenty
thousand [in length,] and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and
toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and
twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in
the midst thereof. {Ezekiel 48:11} [It shall be] for the priests that are
sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went
not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went
astray. {Ezekiel 48:12} And [this] oblation of the land that is offered shall
be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites. {Ezekiel 48:13}
And over against the border of the priests the Levites [shall have]
five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all
the length [shall be] five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten
thousand. {Ezekiel 48:14} And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor
alienate the firstfruits of the land: for [it is] holy unto the LORD.

{Ezekiel 48:15} And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over
against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane [place] for
the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the
midst thereof. {Ezekiel 48:16} And these [shall be] the measures thereof; the
north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four
thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five
hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred. {Ezekiel 48:17} And
the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and
fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east
two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty.
{Ezekiel 48:18} And the residue in length over against the oblation of the holy
[portion shall be] ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward:
and it shall be over against the oblation of the holy [portion;] and
the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city.
{Ezekiel 48:19} And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the
tribes of Israel. {Ezekiel 48:20} All the oblation [shall be] five and twenty
thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation
foursquare, with the possession of the city.

{Ezekiel 48:21} And the residue [shall be] for the prince, on the one side
and on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the
city, over against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward
the east border, and westward over against the five and twenty thousand
toward the west border, over against the portions for the prince: and
it shall be the holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house [shall
be] in the midst thereof. {Ezekiel 48:22} Moreover from the possession of the
Levites, and from the possession of the city, [being] in the midst [of
that] which is the prince's, between the border of Judah and the border
of Benjamin, shall be for the prince. {Ezekiel 48:23} As for the rest of the
tribes, from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin [shall have] a
[portion. ]{Ezekiel 48:24} And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side
unto the west side, Simeon [shall have] a [portion. ]{Ezekiel 48:25} And by the
border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar a
[portion. ]{Ezekiel 48:26} And by the border of Issachar, from the east side
unto the west side, Zebulun a [portion. ]{Ezekiel 48:27} And by the border of
Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, Gad a [portion.
]{Ezekiel 48:28} And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the
border shall be even from Tamar [unto] the waters of strife [in]
Kadesh, [and] to the river toward the great sea. {Ezekiel 48:29} This [is] the
land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for
inheritance, and these [are] their portions, saith the Lord GOD.

{Ezekiel 48:30} And these [are] the goings out of the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures.

{Ezekiel 48:31} And the gates of the city [shall be] after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi.

{Ezekiel 48:32} And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan.

{Ezekiel 48:33} And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun.

{Ezekiel 48:34} At the west side four thousand and five hundred, [with] their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.

{Ezekiel 48:35} [It was] round about eighteen thousand [measures:] and the name of the city from [that] day [shall be,] The LORD [is] there.
