Moreover the spiritH7307 liftedH5375 me up, and broughtH935 me to the eastH6931 gateH8179 of the LORD'sH3068 house,H1004 which looksH6437 eastward:H6921 and beholdH2009 at the doorH6607 of the gateH8179 fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 men;H376 amongH8432 whom I sawH7200 JaazaniahH2970 the sonH1121 of Azur,H5809 and PelatiahH6410 the sonH1121 of Benaiah,H1141 princesH8269 of the people.H5971
2
Then saidH559 he to me, SonH1121 of man,H120 theseH428 are the menH582 that deviseH2803 mischief,H205 and give wickedH7451 counselH6098 in thisH2063 city:H5892
3
Which say,H559 It is not near;H7138 let us buildH1129 houses:H1004 thisH1931 city is the caldron,H5518 and we be the flesh.H1320
4
ThereforeH3651 prophesyH5012 againstH5921 them, prophesy,H5012 O sonH1121 of man.H120
5
And the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 fellH5307 on me, and saidH559 to me, Speak;H559 ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORD;H3068 ThusH3651 have you said,H559 O houseH1004 of Israel:H3478 for I knowH3045 the things that comeH4609 into your mind,H7307 every one of them.
6
You have multipliedH7235 your slainH2491 in thisH2063 city,H5892 and you have filledH4390 the streetsH2351 thereof with the slain.H2491
7
ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GOD;H3069 Your slainH2491 whomH834 you have laidH7760 in the middleH8432 of it, they are the flesh,H1320 and thisH1931 city is the caldron:H5518 but I will bringH3318 you forthH3318 out of the middleH8432 of it.
8
You have fearedH3372 the sword;H2719 and I will bringH935 a swordH2719 on you, saidH5002 the LordH136 GOD.H3069
9
And I will bringH3318 you out of the middleH8432 thereof, and deliverH5414 you into the handsH3027 of strangers,H2114 and will executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 among you.
10
You shall fallH5307 by the sword;H2719 I will judgeH8199 you in the borderH1366 of Israel;H3478 and you shall knowH3045 that I am the LORD.H3068
11
ThisH1931 city shall not be your caldron,H5518 neither shall you be the fleshH1320 in the middleH8432 thereof; but I will judgeH8199 you in the borderH1366 of Israel:H3478
12
And you shall knowH3045 that I am the LORD:H3068 for you have not walkedH1980 in my statutes,H2706 neitherH3808 executedH6213 my judgments,H4941 but have doneH6213 after the mannersH4941 of the heathenH1471 that are roundH5439 about you.
13
And it cameH1961 to pass, when I prophesied,H5012 that PelatiahH6410 the sonH1121 of BenaiahH1141 died.H4191 Then fellH5307 I down on my face,H6440 and criedH2199 with a loudH1419 voice,H6963 and said,H559 AhH162 LordH136 GOD!H3069 will you makeH6213 a full endH3615 of the remnantH7611 of Israel?H3478
14
Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to me, saying,H559
15
SonH1121 of man,H120 your brothers,H251 even your brothers,H251 the menH582 of your kindred,H1353 and allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 wholly,H3605 are they to whomH834 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 have said,H559 Get you farH7368 from the LORD:H3068 to us is thisH1931 landH776 givenH5414 in possession.H4181
16
ThereforeH3651 say,H559 ThusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GOD;H3069 AlthoughH3588 I have castH7368 them farH7368 off among the heathen,H1471 and althoughH272 I have scatteredH6327 them among the countries,H776 yet will I be to them as a littleH4592 sanctuaryH4720 in the countriesH776 whereH834 H8033 they shall come.H935
17
ThereforeH3651 say,H559 ThusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GOD;H3069 I will even gatherH6908 you from the people,H5971 and assembleH622 you out of the countriesH776 whereH834 you have been scattered,H6327 and I will giveH5414 you the landH127 of Israel.H3478
18
And they shall comeH935 thither,H8033 and they shall takeH5493 awayH5493 allH3605 the detestableH8251 things thereof and allH3605 the abominationsH8441 thereof from there.
19
And I will giveH5414 them oneH259 heart,H3820 and I will putH5414 a newH2319 spiritH7307 withinH7130 you; and I will takeH5493 the stonyH68 heartH3820 out of their flesh,H1320 and will giveH5414 them an heartH3820 of flesh:H1320
20
That they may walkH3212 in my statutes,H2708 and keepH8104 my ordinances,H4941 and doH6213 them: and they shall be my people,H5971 and I will be their God.H430
21
But as for them whose heartH3820 walksH1980 after the heartH3820 of their detestableH8251 things and their abominations,H8441 I will recompenseH5414 their wayH1870 on their own heads,H7218 saidH5002 the LordH136 GOD.H3069
22
Then did the cherubimH3742 liftH5375 up their wings,H3671 and the wheelsH212 besideH5980 them; and the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 was overH5921 them above.H4605
23
And the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 wentH5927 up from the middleH8432 of the city,H5892 and stoodH5975 on the mountainH2022 whichH834 is on the eastH6924 sideH6924 of the city.H5892
24
Afterwards the spiritH7307 tookH5375 me up, and broughtH935 me in a visionH4758 by the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 into Chaldea,H3778 to them of the captivity.H1473 So the visionH4758 that I had seenH7200 wentH5927 up from me.
25
Then I spokeH1696 to them of the captivityH1473 allH3605 the thingsH1697 that the LORDH3068 had showedH7200 me.
