The Book of EZEKIEL
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 Telabib,
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 rasor, 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, 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 inquired 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 inquire 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 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 inquire 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 inquire of me?
{As} I live, saith the Lord God, I will not be inquired 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 inquired of by
you, O house of Israel? {As} I live, saith the Lord God, I will
not be inquired 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 upon
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, Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, 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 streets; 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 Pibeseth 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
inquired 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 Hamongog.
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 Hamongog.
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.
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 an 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 Engedi even unto Eneglaim; 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; Hazarhatticon, which
{is} by the coast of Hauran.
EZEKIEL 47:17 And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, 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, Hazarenan, 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.
