A Conservative Version

Eze 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 Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
Eze 1:2 In the fifth [day] of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity,
Eze 1:3 the word of LORD came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar, and the hand of LORD was there upon him.
Eze 1:4 ¶ And I looked, and, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with a fire enfolding itself, and a brightness round about it, and out of the midst of it, as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire.
Eze 1:5 And out of the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance. They had the likeness of a man.
Eze 1:6 And each one had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.
Eze 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 burnished brass.
Eze 1:8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides. And those four had their faces and their wings [thus]:
Eze 1:9 Their wings were joined one to another. They did not turn when they went; they went each one straight forward.
Eze 1:10 As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man. And those four had the face of a lion on the right side, and those four had the face of an ox on the left side, those four also had the face of an eagle.
Eze 1:11 And their faces and their wings were separate above, two [wings] of each one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
Eze 1:12 And they went each one straight forward. Where the spirit was to go, they went. They did not turn when they went.
Eze 1:13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches. It went up and down among the living creatures, and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
Eze 1:14 And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
Eze 1:15 ¶ Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold, one wheel [was] upon the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces of it.
Eze 1:16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl. And those four had one likeness, and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.
Eze 1:17 When they went, they went in their four directions. They did not turn when they went.
Eze 1:18 As for their rims, they were high and fearful. And those four had their rims full of eyes round about.
Eze 1:19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them. And when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
Eze 1:20 Wherever the spirit was to go, they went; there the spirit was to go. And the wheels were lifted up beside them, for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
Eze 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 beside them, for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
Eze 1:22 And over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of a firmament, like awesome crystal to look upon, stretched forth over their heads above.
Eze 1:23 And under the firmament their wings were straight, the one toward the other. Each one had two which covered their bodies on this side, and each one had two which covered on that side.
Eze 1:24 And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of a host. When they stood, they let down their wings.
Eze 1:25 And there was a voice above the firmament that was over their heads. When they stood, they let down their wings.
Eze 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 a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above.
Eze 1:27 And I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward. And from the appearance of his loins and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire. And there was brightness round about him.
Eze 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 LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice speaking.
Eze 2:1 ¶ And he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.
Eze 2:2 And the Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me upon my feet. And I heard him who spoke to me.
Eze 2:3 And he said to me, Son of man, I send thee to the sons of Israel, to nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day.
Eze 2:4 And the sons are impudent and stiff hearted. I send thee to them, and thou shall say to them, Thus says lord LORD.
Eze 2:5 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear (for they are a rebellious house), yet shall know that there has been a prophet among them.
Eze 2:6 ¶ And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with thee, and thou dwell among scorpions. Be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
Eze 2:7 And thou shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, for they are most rebellious.
Eze 2:8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say to thee. Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house. Open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee.
Eze 2:9 And when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth to me, and, lo, a roll of a book was in it,
Eze 2:10 And he spread it before me, and it was written inside and outside. And there were written in it lamentations and mourning and woe.
Eze 3:1 ¶ And he said to me, Son of man, eat that which thou find. Eat this roll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.
Eze 3:2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the roll.
Eze 3:3 And he said to me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then I ate it, and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
Eze 3:4 And he said to me, Son of man, go, get thee to the house of Israel, and speak to them with my words.
Eze 3:5 For thou are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel,
Eze 3:6 not to many peoples of a strange speech, and of a hard language, whose words thou cannot understand. Surely, if I sent thee to them, they would hearken to thee.
Eze 3:7 But the house of Israel will not hearken to thee, for they will not hearken to me. For all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and of a stiff heart.
Eze 3:8 Behold, I have made thy face hard against their faces, and thy forehead hard against their foreheads.
Eze 3:9 As an adamant, harder than flint, I have made thy forehead. Fear them not, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
Eze 3:10 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to thee, receive in thy heart, and hear with thine ears.
Eze 3:11 And go, get thee to those of the captivity, to the sons of thy people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus says lord LORD, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
Eze 3:12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, [saying], Blessed be the glory of LORD from his place.
Eze 3:13 And [I heard] the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched each other, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.
Eze 3:14 So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away. And I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of LORD was strong upon me.
Eze 3:15 Then I came to those of the captivity at Tel-abib, who dwelt by the river Chebar, and to where they dwelt. And I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.
Eze 3:16 ¶ And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 3:17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
Eze 3:18 When I say to a wicked man, Thou shall surely die, and thou give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked man from his wicked way, to save his life, the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand.
Eze 3:19 Yet if thou warn the wicked man, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity, but thou have delivered thy soul.
Eze 3:20 Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. Because thou have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered, but I will require his blood at thy hand.
Eze 3:21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous man not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning, and thou have delivered thy soul.
Eze 3:22 ¶ And the hand of LORD was there upon me, and he said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will talk with thee there.
Eze 3:23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain. And, behold, the glory of LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar, and I fell on my face.
Eze 3:24 Then the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet. And he spoke with me, and said to me, Go, shut thyself within thy house.
Eze 3:25 But thou, son of man, behold, they shall lay bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shall not escape from them.
Eze 3:26 And I will make thy tongue cling to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shall be mute, and shall not be a reprover to them, for they are a rebellious house.
Eze 3:27 But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shall say to them, Thus says lord LORD. He who hears, let him hear, and he who forbears, let him forbear, for they are a rebellious house.
Eze 4:1 ¶ Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it a city, even Jerusalem.
Eze 4:2 And lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it. Also set camps against it, and plant battering rams against it round about.
Eze 4:3 And take thou to thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city. And set thy face toward it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
Eze 4:4 Moreover lie thou upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it. [According to] the number of the days that thou shall lie upon it, thou shall bear their iniquity.
Eze 4:5 For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be a number of days to thee, even three hundred and ninety days. So thou shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
Eze 4:6 And again, when thou have accomplished these, thou shall lie on thy right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days, each day for a year. I have appointed it to thee.
Eze 4:7 And thou shall set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with thine arm uncovered, and thou shall prophesy against it.
Eze 4:8 And, behold, I lay bands upon thee, and thou shall not turn thee from one side to the other, till thou have accomplished the days of thy siege.
Eze 4:9 ¶ Also take thou to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread of it, [according to] the number of the days that thou shall lie upon thy side, even three hundred and ninety days, thou shall eat of it.
Eze 4:10 And thy food which thou shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day. Thou shall eat it from time to time.
Eze 4:11 And thou shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin. Thou shall drink from time to time.
Eze 4:12 And thou shall eat it as barley cakes, and thou shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.
Eze 4:13 And LORD said, Even thus shall the sons of Israel eat their bread unclean among the nations where I will drive them.
Eze 4:14 Then I said, Ah lord LORD! Behold, my soul has not been polluted. For from my youth up even till now I have not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of beasts, neither has abominable flesh come into my mouth.
Eze 4:15 Then he said to me, See, I have given thee cow’s dung for man’s dung, and thou shall prepare thy bread of it.
Eze 4:16 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they shall eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness, and they shall drink water by measure, and in dismay,
Eze 4:17 that they may lack bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
Eze 5:1 ¶ And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp sword. [As] a barber’s razor thou shall take it to thee, and shall cause it to pass upon thy head and upon thy beard. Then take thee balances to weigh and divide the hair.
Eze 5:2 A third part thou shall burn in the fire in the midst of the city when the days of the siege are fulfilled, and thou shall take a third part, and smite with the sword round about it, and a third part thou shall scatter to the wind. And I will draw out a sword after them.
Eze 5:3 And thou shall take from it a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.
Eze 5:4 And of these again thou shall take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire. From there a fire shall come forth into all the house of Israel.
Eze 5:5 ¶ Thus says lord LORD: This is Jerusalem. I have set her in the midst of the nations, and countries are round about her.
Eze 5:6 And she has rebelled against my ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are round about her, for they have rejected my ordinances, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.
Eze 5:7 Therefore thus says lord LORD: Because ye are more disorderly than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, nor have kept my ordinances, no, ye have not even done according to the ordinances of the nations that are round about you,
Eze 5:8 therefore thus says lord LORD: Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and I will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.
Eze 5:9 And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and of which I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.
Eze 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 on thee, and I will scatter to all the winds the whole remnant of thee.
Eze 5:11 Therefore, as I live, says lord LORD, surely, because thou have defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore I also will diminish [thee], nor shall my eye spare. And I also will have no pity.
Eze 5:12 A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and they shall be consumed with famine in the midst of thee, and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee, and a third part I will scatter to all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them.
Eze 5:13 Thus my anger shall be accomplished, and I will cause my wrath toward them to rest, and I shall be comforted. And they shall know that I, LORD, have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my wrath upon them.
Eze 5:14 Moreover I will make thee a desolation and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all who pass by.
Eze 5:15 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, a lesson and an astonishment, to the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments on thee in anger and in wrath, and in wrathful rebukes—I, LORD, have spoken it—
Eze 5:16 when I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you. And I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread.
Eze 5:17 And I will 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, LORD, have spoken it.
Eze 6:1 ¶ And the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 6:2 Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to them,
Eze 6:3 and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of lord LORD. Thus says lord LORD to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places.
Eze 6:4 And your altars shall become desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken, and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
Eze 6:5 And I will lay the dead bodies of the sons of Israel before their idols, and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.
Eze 6:6 In all your dwelling places 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 sun-images may be hewn down, and your works may be abolished.
Eze 6:7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you. And ye shall know that I am LORD.
Eze 6:8 ¶ Yet I will leave a remnant, in that ye shall have some who escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.
Eze 6:9 And those of you who escape shall remember me among the nations where they shall be carried captive, how I have broken with their lewd heart, which has departed from me, and with they eyes, which play the harlot after their idols. And they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
Eze 6:10 And they shall know that I am LORD. I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.
Eze 6:11 ¶ Thus says lord LORD: Smite with thy hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas! because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel, for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
Eze 6:12 He who is far off shall die of the pestilence, and he who is near shall fall by the sword, and he who remains and is besieged shall die by the famine. Thus I will accomplish my wrath upon them.
Eze 6:13 And ye shall know that I am LORD when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the places where they offered sweet savor to all their idols.
Eze 6:14 And I will stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations. And they shall know that I am LORD.
Eze 7:1 ¶ Moreover the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 7:2 And thou, son of man, thus says lord LORD to the land of Israel: An end. The end has come upon the four corners of the land.
Eze 7:3 Now the end is upon thee, and I will send my anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways. And I will bring upon thee all thine abominations.
Eze 7:4 And my eye shall not spare thee, nor will I have pity. But I will bring thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee. And ye shall know that I am LORD.
Eze 7:5 Thus says lord LORD: An evil, an only evil, behold, it comes.
Eze 7:6 An end has come. The end has come. It awakens against thee. Behold, it comes.
Eze 7:7 Thy doom has come to thee, O inhabitant of the land. The time has come. The day is near, tumult, and not joyful shouting, upon the mountains.
Eze 7:8 Now I will shortly pour out my wrath upon thee, and accomplish my anger against thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways. And I will bring upon thee all thine abominations.
Eze 7:9 And my eye shall not spare, nor will I have pity. I will bring upon thee according to thy ways. And thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee. And ye shall know that I, LORD, do smite.
Eze 7:10 Behold, the day, behold, it comes. Thy doom has gone forth. The rod has blossomed; pride has budded.
Eze 7:11 Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness. None of them [shall remain], nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth. Neither shall there be eminency among them.
Eze 7:12 The time has come; the day draws near. Let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn, for wrath is upon all the multitude of it.
Eze 7:13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they be yet alive, for the vision is concerning the whole multitude of it. None shall return, nor shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
Eze 7:14 They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready, but none goes to the battle, for my wrath is upon all the multitude of it.
Eze 7:15 The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine inside. He who is in the field shall die with the sword, and he who is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
Eze 7:16 ¶ But those of them who escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys. All of them moaning, each one in his iniquity.
Eze 7:17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
Eze 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.
Eze 7:19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be as an unclean thing. Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of LORD. They shall not satisfy their souls, nor fill their bowels, because it has been the stumbling block of their iniquity.
Eze 7:20 As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty, but they made the images of their abominations, [and] their detestable things in it. Therefore I have made it as an unclean thing to them.
Eze 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 profane it.
Eze 7:22 I will also turn my face from them, and they shall profane my secluded [place]. And robbers shall enter into it, and profane it.
Eze 7:23 ¶ Make the chain, for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
Eze 7:24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses. I will also make the pride of the strong to cease, and their holy places shall be profaned.
Eze 7:25 Destruction comes. And they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
Eze 7:26 Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumor shall be upon rumor. And they shall seek a vision of the prophet, but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.
Eze 7:27 The king shall mourn, and the ruler shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled. I will do to them according to their way, and according to their deserts I will judge them. And they shall know that I am LORD.
Eze 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 my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of lord LORD fell there upon me.
Eze 8:2 Then I beheld, and, lo, a likeness as the appearance of fire, from the appearance of his loins and downward, fire, and from his loins and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as it were glowing metal.
Eze 8:3 And he put forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head. And the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner [court] that looks toward the north, where the seat of the image of jealousy was, which provokes to jealousy.
Eze 8:4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance that I saw in the plain.
Eze 8:5 Then he said to me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up my eyes the way toward the north, and, behold, northward of the gate of the altar [was] this image of jealousy in the entry.
Eze 8:6 And he said to me, Son of man, see thou what they do, even the great abominations that the house of Israel commit here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? But thou shall again see yet other great abominations.
Eze 8:7 ¶ And he brought me to the door of the court. And when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall.
Eze 8:8 Then he said to me, Son of man, dig now in the wall. And when I had dug in the wall, behold, a door.
Eze 8:9 And he said to me, Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do here.
Eze 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, portrayed upon the wall round about.
Eze 8:11 And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel. And in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, each man with his censer in his hand, and the odor of the cloud of incense went up.
Eze 8:12 Then he said to me, Son of man, have thou seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, each man in his chambers of imagery? For they say, LORD does not see us. LORD has forsaken the land.
Eze 8:13 ¶ He also said to me, Thou shall again see yet other great abominations which they do.
Eze 8:14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of LORD’s house which was toward the north. And, behold, there sat the women weeping for Tammuz.
Eze 8:15 Then he said to me, Have thou seen [this], O son of man? Thou shall again see yet greater abominations than these.
Eze 8:16 And he brought me into the inner court of LORD’s house. And, behold, at the door of the temple of LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of LORD, and their faces toward the east, and they were worshipping the sun toward the east.
Eze 8:17 Then he said to me, Have 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 turned again to provoke me to anger. And, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
Eze 8:18 Therefore I will also deal in wrath. My eye shall not spare, nor will I have pity. And though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet I will not hear them.
Eze 9:1 ¶ Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause ye those who have charge over the city to draw near, each man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
Eze 9:2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lies toward the north, each man with his slaughter weapon in his hand, and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen, with a writer’s case by his side. And they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.
Eze 9:3 And the glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub, upon which it was, to the threshold of the house, and he called to the man clothed in linen who had the writer’s case by his side.
Eze 9:4 And LORD said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men who sigh and who cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst of it.
Eze 9:5 ¶ And to the others he said in my hearing, Go ye through the city after him, and smite. Let not your eye spare, nor have ye pity.
Eze 9:6 Kill utterly the old man, the young man, and the virgin, and little sons, and women, but come not near any man upon whom is the mark. And begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men who were before the house.
Eze 9:7 And he said to them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go ye forth. And they went forth, and smote in the city.
Eze 9:8 And it came to pass, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah lord LORD! Will thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy wrath upon Jerusalem?
Eze 9:9 Then he said to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness. For they say, LORD has forsaken the land, and LORD does not see.
Eze 9:10 And as for me also, my eye shall not spare, nor will I have pity, but I will bring their way upon their head.
Eze 9:11 And, behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the writing case by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou have commanded me.
Eze 10:1 ¶ Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
Eze 10:2 And he spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the whirling [wheels], even under the cherub, and fill both thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.
Eze 10:3 Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house when the man went in, and the cloud filled the inner court.
Eze 10:4 And the glory of LORD mounted up from the cherub, over the threshold of the house. And the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of LORD’s glory.
Eze 10:5 And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
Eze 10:6 And it came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim, that he went in, and stood beside a wheel.
Eze 10:7 And the cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took, and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
Eze 10:8 ¶ And there appeared in the cherubim the form of a man’s hand under their wings.
Eze 10:9 And I looked, and, behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub. And the appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.
Eze 10:10 And as for their appearance, those four had one likeness, as if a wheel have been within a wheel.
Eze 10:11 When they went, they went in their four directions. They did not turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it. They did not turn as they went.
Eze 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 those four had.
Eze 10:13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, O wheel.
Eze 10:14 And each one had four faces. The first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third face the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
Eze 10:15 And the cherubim mounted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.
Eze 10:16 And when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them. And when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also did not turn from beside them.
Eze 10:17 When they stood, these stood, and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them, for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
Eze 10:18 And the glory of LORD went forth from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.
Eze 10:19 And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went forth, and the wheels beside them. And they stood at the door of the east gate of LORD’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Eze 10:20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar, and I knew that they were cherubim.
Eze 10:21 Each one had four faces, and each one four wings. And the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
Eze 10:22 And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves. They went each one straight forward.
Eze 11:1 ¶ Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of LORD’s house, which looks eastward. And, behold, at the door of the gate twenty-five men. And I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, rulers of the people.
Eze 11:2 And he said to me, Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city,
Eze 11:3 who say, [The time] is not near to build houses. This [city] is the caldron, and we are the flesh.
Eze 11:4 Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, O son of man.
Eze 11:5 And the Spirit of LORD fell upon me, and he said to me, Speak, Thus says LORD: Thus ye have said, O house of Israel, for I know the things that come into your mind.
Eze 11:6 Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
Eze 11:7 Therefore thus says lord LORD: Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this [city] is the caldron, but ye shall be brought forth out of the midst of it.
Eze 11:8 Ye have feared the sword, and I will bring the sword upon you, says lord LORD.
Eze 11:9 And I will bring you forth out of the midst of it, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
Eze 11:10 Ye shall fall by the sword. I will judge you in the border of Israel, and ye shall know that I am LORD.
Eze 11:11 This [city] shall not be your caldron, nor shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof. I will judge you in the border of Israel,
Eze 11:12 and ye shall know that I am LORD. For ye have not walked in my statutes, nor have ye executed my ordinances, but have done according to the ordinances of the nations that are round about you.
Eze 11:13 And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah lord LORD! Will thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
Eze 11:14 ¶ And the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 11:15 Son of man, thy brothers, even thy brothers, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, all of them, [are those] to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from LORD. This land is given to us for a possession.
Eze 11:16 Therefore say, Thus says lord LORD: Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come.
Eze 11:17 Therefore say, Thus says lord LORD. I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
Eze 11:18 And they shall come there, and they shall take away from there all the detestable things of it and all the abominations of it.
Eze 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 a heart of flesh,
Eze 11:20 that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
Eze 11:21 But as for those whose heart walks according to the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way upon their own heads, says lord LORD.
Eze 11:22 ¶ Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Eze 11:23 And the glory of LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
Eze 11:24 And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to those of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
Eze 11:25 Then I spoke to those of the captivity all the things that LORD had shown me.
Eze 12:1 ¶ The word of LORD also came to me, saying,
Eze 12:2 Son of man, thou dwell in the midst of the rebellious house, that have eyes to see, and see not, that have ears to hear, and hear not, for they are a rebellious house.
Eze 12:3 Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for moving, and move by day in their sight. And thou shall move from thy place to another place in their sight. It may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.
Eze 12:4 And thou shall bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for moving. And thou shall go forth thyself at evening in their sight, as when men go forth into exile.
Eze 12:5 Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out by that.
Eze 12:6 Thou shall bear it upon thy shoulder in their sight, and carry it forth in the dark. Thou shall cover thy face, that thou not see the land. For I have set thee for a sign to the house of Israel.
Eze 12:7 And I did so as I was commanded. I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for moving, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought it forth in the dark, and bore it upon my shoulder in their sight.
Eze 12:8 And in the morning the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 12:9 Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to thee, What are thou doing?
Eze 12:10 Say thou to them, Thus says lord LORD: This burden [concerns] the ruler in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.
Eze 12:11 Say, I am your sign. Just as I have done, so shall it be done to them. They shall go into exile, into captivity.
Eze 12:12 And the ruler who is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth. They shall dig through the wall to carry out by it. He shall cover his face, because he shall not see the land with his eyes.
Eze 12:13 I will also spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare. And I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans, yet he shall not see it, though he shall die there.
Eze 12:14 And I will scatter toward every wind all who are round about him to help him, and all his groups. And I will draw out the sword after them.
Eze 12:15 And they shall know that I am LORD, when I shall disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries.
Eze 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 nations where they come. And they shall know that I am LORD.
Eze 12:17 ¶ Moreover the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 12:18 Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with fearfulness.
Eze 12:19 And say to the people of the land, Thus says lord LORD concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with fearfulness, and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate of all that is in it, because of the violence of all those who dwell therein.
Eze 12:20 And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation. And ye shall know that I am LORD.
Eze 12:21 ¶ And the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 12:22 Son of man, what is this proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?
Eze 12:23 Tell them therefore, Thus says lord LORD: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel, but say to them, The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.
Eze 12:24 For there shall no more be any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
Eze 12:25 For I am LORD. I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed. It shall be no more deferred. For in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word, and will perform it, says lord LORD.
Eze 12:26 Again the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 12:27 Son of man, behold, those of the house of Israel say, The vision that he sees is for many day to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off.
Eze 12:28 Therefore say to them, Thus says lord LORD: There shall none of my words be deferred any more, but the word which I shall speak shall be performed, says lord LORD.
Eze 13:1 ¶ And the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 13:2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say thou to those who prophesy out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of LORD.
Eze 13:3 Thus says lord LORD: Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
Eze 13:4 O Israel, thy prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.
Eze 13:5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, nor built up the wall for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of LORD.
Eze 13:6 They have seen falsehood and lying divination, who say, LORD says, but LORD has not sent them. And they have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.
Eze 13:7 Have ye not seen a false vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, in that ye say, LORD says, albeit I have not spoken?
Eze 13:8 Therefore thus says lord LORD: Because ye have spoken falsehood, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, says lord LORD.
Eze 13:9 And my hand shall be against the prophets who see false visions, and who divine lies. They shall not be in the council of my people, nor 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 lord LORD.
Eze 13:10 ¶ Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace, and there is no peace, and when [a man] builds up a wall, behold, they daub it with untempered [mortar],
Eze 13:11 say to those who daub it with untempered [mortar], that it shall fall. There shall be an overflowing shower, and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall, and a stormy wind shall rend it.
Eze 13:12 Lo, when the wall has fallen, shall it not be said to you, Where is the daubing with which ye have daubed it?
Eze 13:13 Therefore thus says lord LORD: I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my wrath, and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it.
Eze 13:14 So I will break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered [mortar], and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be uncovered. And it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst of it. And ye shall know that I am LORD.
Eze 13:15 Thus I will accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon those who have daubed it with untempered [mortar]. And I will say to you, The wall is no more, nor those who daubed it,
Eze 13:16 [namely], the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, says lord LORD.
Eze 13:17 ¶ And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who prophesy out of their own heart, and prophesy thou against them.
Eze 13:18 And say, Thus says lord LORD: Woe to the women who sew pillows upon all elbows, and make headdresses for the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and save souls alive for yourselves?
Eze 13:19 And ye have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die, and to save the souls alive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to lies.
Eze 13:20 Therefore thus says lord LORD: Behold, I am against your pillows, with which ye hunt the souls there to make fly, and I will tear them from your arms. And I will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make fly.
Eze 13:21 I will also tear your headdresses, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall no more be in your hand to be hunted. And ye shall know that I am LORD.
Eze 13:22 Because with lies ye have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad, and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive.
Eze 13:23 Therefore ye shall no more see false visions, nor divine divinations. And I will deliver my people out of your hand. And ye shall know that I am LORD.
Eze 14:1 ¶ Then certain of the elders of Israel came to me, and sat before me.
Eze 14:2 And the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 14:3 Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their heart, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face. Should I be inquired of at all by them?
Eze 14:4 Therefore speak to them, and say to them, Thus says lord LORD: Every man of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet, I LORD will answer him in it according to the multitude of his idols,
Eze 14:5 that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
Eze 14:6 Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says lord LORD: Return ye, and turn yourselves from your idols, and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
Eze 14:7 For everyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel, that separates himself from me, and takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet to inquire for himself of me, I LORD will answer him by myself.
Eze 14:8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him an astonishment, for a sign and a proverb. And I will cut him off from the midst of my people. And ye shall know that I am LORD.
Eze 14:9 And if the prophet is deceived and speaks a word, I, 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.
Eze 14:10 And they shall bear their iniquity. The iniquity of the prophet shall be even as the iniquity of him who seeks [him],
Eze 14:11 that the house of Israel may no more go astray from me, nor defile themselves any more with all their transgressions, but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, says lord LORD.
Eze 14:12 ¶ And the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 14:13 Son of man, when a land sins against me by committing a trespass, and I stretch out my hand upon it, and break the staff of the bread thereof, and send famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast,
Eze 14:14 though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, says lord LORD.
Eze 14:15 If I cause evil beasts to pass through the land, and they ravage it, and it be made desolate, so that no man may pass through because of the beasts,
Eze 14:16 though these three men were in it, as I live, says lord LORD, they would deliver neither sons nor daughters, they only would be delivered, but the land would be desolate.
Eze 14:17 Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land, so that I cut off from it man and beast,
Eze 14:18 though these three men were in it, as I live, says lord LORD, they would deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only would be delivered themselves.
Eze 14:19 Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my wrath upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast,
Eze 14:20 though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, says lord LORD, they would deliver neither son nor daughter, they would but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
Eze 14:21 For thus says lord LORD: How much more when I send my four severe judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil beasts, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast!
Eze 14:22 Yet, behold, there shall be left a remnant in it that shall be carried forth, both sons and daughters. Behold, they shall come forth to 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.
Eze 14:23 And they shall comfort you when ye see their way and their doings. And ye shall know that I have not done all that I have done in it, without cause, says lord LORD.
Eze 15:1 ¶ And the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 15:2 Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest?
Eze 15:3 Shall wood be taken of it to make any work? Or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
Eze 15:4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel. The fire has devoured both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it profitable for any work?
Eze 15:5 Behold, when it was whole, it was fit for no work. How much less, when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned, shall it yet be fit for any work!
Eze 15:6 Therefore thus says lord LORD: As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Eze 15:7 And I will set my face against them. They shall go forth from the fire, but the fire shall devour them. And ye shall know that I am LORD when I set my face against them.
Eze 15:8 And I will make the land desolate because they have committed a trespass, says lord LORD.
Eze 16:1 ¶ Again the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 16:2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
Eze 16:3 and say, Thus says lord LORD to Jerusalem: Thy birth and thy nativity is from the land of the Canaanite. The Amorite was thy father, and thy mother was a Hittite.
Eze 16:4 And as for thy nativity, in the day thou were born thy navel was not cut, nor were thou washed in water to cleanse thee. Thou were not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
Eze 16:5 No eye pitied thee, to do any of these things to thee, to have compassion upon thee, but thou were cast out in the open field. For thy person was abhorred, in the day that thou were born.
Eze 16:6 ¶ And when I passed by thee, and saw thee weltering in thy blood, I said to thee, in thy blood, Live! Yea, I said to thee, in thy blood, Live!
Eze 16:7 I caused thee to multiply as that which grows in the field, and thou increased and grew great. And thou attained to excellent ornament, thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair was grown. Yet thou were naked and bare.
Eze 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 swore to thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, says lord LORD, and thou became mine.
Eze 16:9 Then I washed thee with water. Yea, I thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
Eze 16:10 I also clothed thee with embroidered work, and shod thee with badger skin. And I girded thee around with fine linen, and covered thee with silk.
Eze 16:11 And I decked thee with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
Eze 16:12 And I put a ring upon thy nose, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head.
Eze 16:13 Thus thou were decked with gold and silver, and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work. Thou ate fine flour, and honey, and oil. And thou were very beautiful, and thou prospered to royalty.
Eze 16:14 And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty. For it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put upon thee, says lord LORD.
Eze 16:15 ¶ But thou trusted in thy beauty, and played the harlot because of thy renown, and poured out thy whoredoms on everyone who passed by; his it was.
Eze 16:16 And thou took of thy garments, and made high places for thee, decked with various colors, and played the harlot upon them, [things which] should not come, nor should it be.
Eze 16:17 Thou also took thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and made for thee images of men, and played the harlot with them.
Eze 16:18 And thou took thy embroidered garments, and covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them.
Eze 16:19 My bread also which I gave thee, fine flour and oil and honey, with which I fed thee, thou even set it before them for a sweet savor, and [thus] it was, says lord LORD.
Eze 16:20 Moreover thou have taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou have borne to me, and thou have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Were thy whoredoms a small matter,
Eze 16:21 that thou have slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through [the fire] to them?
Eze 16:22 And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou have not remembered the days of thy youth when thou were naked and bare, and were weltering in thy blood.
Eze 16:23 And it has come to pass according to all thy wickedness, (woe, woe to thee! says lord LORD),
Eze 16:24 that thou have built thyself a vaulted place, and have made thee a lofty place in every street.
Eze 16:25 Thou have built thy lofty place at the head of every way, and have made thy beauty an abomination. And have opened thy feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied thy whoredom.
Eze 16:26 Thou have also committed fornication with the Egyptians, thy neighbors, great of flesh, and have multiplied thy whoredom, to provoke me to anger.
Eze 16:27 Behold therefore, I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thy portion, and delivered thee to the will of those who hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of thy lewd way.
Eze 16:28 Thou have played the harlot also with the Assyrians, because thou were insatiable. Yea, thou have played the harlot with them, and yet thou were not satisfied.
Eze 16:29 Thou have moreover multiplied thy whoredom to the land of traffic, to Chaldea, and yet thou were not satisfied with this.
Eze 16:30 How weak is thy heart, says lord LORD, seeing thou do all these things, the work of an impudent harlot,
Eze 16:31 in that thou build thy vaulted place at the head of every way, and make thy lofty place in every street. And have not [even] been as a harlot, in that thou scorn hire.
Eze 16:32 A wife who commits adultery, who takes strangers instead of her husband!
Eze 16:33 They give gifts to all harlots, but thou give thy gifts to all thy lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to thee on every side for thy whoredoms.
Eze 16:34 And thou are different from [other] women in thy whoredoms, in that none follows thee to play the harlot. And whereas thou give a wage, and no wage is given to thee, therefore thou are different.
Eze 16:35 ¶ Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of LORD.
Eze 16:36 Thus says lord LORD: Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness uncovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and because of all the idols of thy abominations, and for the blood of thy sons, that thou gave to them,
Eze 16:37 therefore, behold, I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou have taken pleasure, and all those whom thou have loved, with all those whom thou have hated, I will even gather them against thee on every side. And I will uncover thy nakedness to them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
Eze 16:38 And I will judge thee, as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged. And I will bring upon thee the blood of wrath and jealousy.
Eze 16:39 I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thy vaulted place, and break down thy lofty places. And they shall strip thee of thy clothes, and take thy fair jewels, and they shall leave thee naked and bare.
Eze 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.
Eze 16:41 And they shall burn thy 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 shall also give no wage any more.
Eze 16:42 So I will cause my wrath toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will no more be angry.
Eze 16:43 Because thou have not remembered the days of thy youth, but have raged against me in all these things, therefore, behold, I also will bring thy way upon thy head, says lord LORD. And thou shall not commit this lewdness with all thine abominations.
Eze 16:44 ¶ Behold, everyone who uses proverbs shall use [this] proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
Eze 16:45 Thou are the daughter of thy mother, who loathes her husband and her sons. And thou are the sister of thy sisters, who loathed their husbands and their sons. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
Eze 16:46 And thine elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at thy left hand, she and her daughters. And thy younger sister, who dwells at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
Eze 16:47 Yet thou have not walked in their ways, nor done according to their abominations, but, like [it was] a very little [thing], thou were more corrupt than they in all thy ways.
Eze 16:48 As I live, says lord LORD, Sodom thy sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as thou have done, thou and thy daughters.
Eze 16:49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters, and she did not strengthen the hand of a poor and needy man.
Eze 16:50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me. Therefore I took them away as I saw [fit].
Eze 16:51 Neither has Samaria committed half of thy sins, but thou have multiplied thine abominations more than they, and have justified thy sisters by all thine abominations which thou have done.
Eze 16:52 Thou also, bear thou thine own shame, in that thou have given judgment for thy sisters, through thy sins that thou have committed more abominable than they. They are more righteous than thou. Yea, be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, in that thou have justified thy sisters.
Eze 16:53 And I will turn back again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them,
Eze 16:54 that thou may bear thine own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that thou have done, in that thou are a comfort to them.
Eze 16:55 And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, and thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.
Eze 16:56 For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride,
Eze 16:57 before thy wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all who are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, who do despite to thee round about.
Eze 16:58 Thou have borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, says LORD.
Eze 16:59 For thus says lord LORD: I will also deal with thee as thou have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
Eze 16:60 ¶ Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish to thee an everlasting covenant.
Eze 16:61 Then thou shall remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shall receive thy sisters, thine elder [sisters] and thy younger, and I will give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.
Eze 16:62 And I will establish my covenant with thee, and thou shall know that I am LORD,
Eze 16:63 that thou may remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more, because of thy shame, when I have forgiven thee all that thou have done, says lord LORD.
Eze 17:1 ¶ And the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 17:2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel,
Eze 17:3 and say, Thus says lord LORD: A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers, which had various colors, came to Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar.
Eze 17:4 He cropped off the topmost of the young twigs of it, and carried it to a land of merchandise. He set it in a city of merchants.
Eze 17:5 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil. He placed it beside many waters. He set it as a willow tree.
Eze 17:6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots of it were under him. So it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
Eze 17:7 There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers. And, behold, this vine bent its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it.
Eze 17:8 It was planted in a good soil by many waters that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit that it might be a goodly vine.
Eze 17:9 Say thou, Thus says lord LORD: Shall it flourish? Shall he not pull up the roots of it, and cut off the fruit of it, that it may wither? It shall wither in all its fresh springing leaves, even without great power or many people to pluck it up by the roots of it.
Eze 17:10 Yea, behold, being planted, shall it flourish? Shall it not utterly wither when the east wind touches it? It shall wither in the beds where it grew.
Eze 17:11 Moreover the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 17:12 Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? Tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took the king of it, and the rulers of it, and brought them to him to Babylon.
Eze 17:13 And he took of the seed royal, and made a covenant with him. He also brought him under an oath, and took away the mighty of the land,
Eze 17:14 that the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.
Eze 17:15 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt that they might give him horses and many people. Shall he prosper? Shall he escape who does such things? Shall he break the covenant, and yet escape?
Eze 17:16 As I live, says lord LORD, surely in the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
Eze 17:17 Nor shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him in the war when they cast up mounds and build forts to cut off many persons.
Eze 17:18 For he has despised the oath by breaking the covenant. And, behold, he had given his hand, and yet has done all these things. He shall not escape.
Eze 17:19 Therefore thus says lord LORD: As I live, surely my oath that he has despised, and my covenant that he has broken, I will even bring it upon his own head.
Eze 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 enter into judgment with him there for his trespass that he has trespassed against me.
Eze 17:21 And all his fugitives in all his groups shall fall by the sword, and those who remain shall be scattered toward every wind. And ye shall know that I, LORD, have spoken it.
Eze 17:22 ¶ Thus says lord LORD: I will also take of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it. I will crop off a tender one from the topmost of its young twigs, and I will plant it upon a high and lofty mountain.
Eze 17:23 I will plant it in the mountain of the height of Israel, and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar. And all birds of every wing shall dwell under it; they shall dwell in the shade of the branches thereof.
Eze 17:24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I, 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, LORD, have spoken and have done it.
Eze 18:1 ¶ The word of LORD came to me again, saying,
Eze 18:2 What do ye mean, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the son’s teeth are set on edge?
Eze 18:3 As I live, says lord LORD, ye shall not have [occasion] any more to use this proverb in Israel.
Eze 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 sins, it shall die.
Eze 18:5 But if a man be just, and does that which is lawful and right.
Eze 18:6 And has not eaten upon the mountains, nor has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, nor has defiled his neighbor’s wife, nor has come near to a woman in her impurity,
Eze 18:7 and has not wronged any man, but has restored to the debtor his pledge, has taken nothing by robbery, has given his bread to a hungry man, and has covered a naked man with a garment,
Eze 18:8 he who has not given forth upon interest, nor has taken any increase, who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed true justice between man and man,
Eze 18:9 has walked in my statutes, and has kept my ordinances, to deal truly, he is just. He shall surely live, says lord LORD.
Eze 18:10 ¶ If he begets a son who is a robber, a shedder of blood, and who does any one of these things,
Eze 18:11 and who does not do any of those [duties], but has even eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbor’s wife,
Eze 18:12 has wronged the poor and needy man, has taken by robbery, has not restored the pledge, and has lifted up his eyes to the idols, has committed abomination,
Eze 18:13 has given forth upon interest, and has taken increase, shall he then live? He shall not live. He has done all these abominations. He shall surely die. His blood shall be upon him.
Eze 18:14 Now, lo, if he begets a son, who sees all his father’s sins, which he has done, and fears, and does not do such like,
Eze 18:15 who has not eaten upon the mountains, nor has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, has not defiled his neighbor’s wife,
Eze 18:16 nor has wronged any man, has not taken anything to pledge, nor has taken by robbery, but has given his bread to a hungry man, and has covered a naked man with a garment,
Eze 18:17 who has withdrawn his hand from a poor man, who has not received interest nor increase, has executed my ordinances, has walked in my statutes, he shall not die for the iniquity of his father. He shall surely live.
Eze 18:18 As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he shall die in his iniquity.
Eze 18:19 Yet say ye, Why does not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son has done that which is lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes, and has done them, he shall surely live.
Eze 18:20 The soul that sins, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, nor shall the father bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of a righteous man shall be upon him, and the wickedness of a wicked man shall be upon him.
Eze 18:21 ¶ But if a wicked man turns from all his sins that he has committed, and keeps all my statutes, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live. He shall not die.
Eze 18:22 None of his transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him. In his righteousness that he has done he shall live.
Eze 18:23 Have I any pleasure in the death of a wicked man? says lord LORD, and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?
Eze 18:24 But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that a wicked man does, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered. In his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them he shall die.
Eze 18:25 Yet ye say, The way of LORD is not equitable. Hear now, O house of Israel. Is not my way equitable? Are not your ways inequitable?
Eze 18:26 When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and dies in it, in his iniquity that he has done, he shall die.
Eze 18:27 Again, when a wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
Eze 18:28 Because he considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live. He shall not die.
Eze 18:29 Yet the house of Israel says, The way of LORD is not equitable. O house of Israel, are not my ways equitable? Are not your ways inequitable?
Eze 18:30 ¶ Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, each one according to his ways, says lord LORD. Return ye, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions, so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
Eze 18:31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, by which ye have transgressed, and make you a new heart and a new spirit. For why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Eze 18:32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies, says lord LORD, therefore turn yourselves back, and live.
Eze 19:1 ¶ Moreover, take thou up a lamentation for the rulers of Israel,
Eze 19:2 and say, What was thy mother? A lioness. She couched among lions. In the midst of the young lions she nourished her whelps.
Eze 19:3 And she brought up one of her whelps. He became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey. He devoured men.
Eze 19:4 The nations also heard of him. He was taken in their pit, and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt.
Eze 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.
Eze 19:6 And he went up and down among the lions. He became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey. He devoured men.
Eze 19:7 And he knew their palaces, and laid waste their cities. And the land was desolate, and the fullness of it, because of the noise of his roaring.
Eze 19:8 Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and they spread their net over him. He was taken in their pit.
Eze 19:9 And they put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon. They brought him into strongholds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
Eze 19:10 ¶ Thy mother was like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters. It was fruitful and full of branches because of many waters.
Eze 19:11 And it had strong twigs for the scepters of those who bore rule. And their stature was exalted among the thick boughs, and they were seen in their height with the multitude of their branches.
Eze 19:12 But it was plucked up in fury. It was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit. Its strong twigs were broken off and withered. The fire consumed them.
Eze 19:13 And now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
Eze 19:14 And fire has gone out of the twigs of its branches. It has devoured its fruit, so that there is no strong twig in it to be a scepter to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
Eze 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 LORD, and sat before me.
Eze 20:2 And the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 20:3 Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, Thus says lord LORD: Is it to inquire of me that ye have come? As I live, says lord LORD, I will not be inquired of by you.
Eze 20:4 Will thou judge them, son of man. Will thou judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers,
Eze 20:5 ¶ and say to them, Thus says lord LORD: In the day when I chose Israel, and swore to the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I swore to them, saying, I am LORD your God,
Eze 20:6 I swore to them in that day, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands.
Eze 20:7 And I said to them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am LORD your God.
Eze 20:8 But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken to me. They did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
Eze 20:9 But I worked for my name’s sake (that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them) in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
Eze 20:10 ¶ So I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
Eze 20:11 And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them.
Eze 20:12 Moreover I also gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am LORD who sanctifies them.
Eze 20:13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They did not walk in my statutes, and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keeps, he shall live in them. And they greatly profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
Eze 20:14 But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.
Eze 20:15 Moreover also I swore to 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,
Eze 20:16 because they rejected my ordinances, and did not walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths, for their heart went after their idols.
Eze 20:17 Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I did not destroyed them, nor did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.
Eze 20:18 And I said to their sons in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers. Neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols.
Eze 20:19 I am LORD your God. Walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them,
Eze 20:20 and hallow my Sabbaths, and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am LORD your God.
Eze 20:21 But the sons rebelled against me. They did not walk in my statutes, nor kept my ordinances to do them, which if a man does, he shall live in them. They profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
Eze 20:22 Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth.
Eze 20:23 Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries,
Eze 20:24 because they had not executed my ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols.
Eze 20:25 Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they will not live.
Eze 20:26 And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through [the fire] all that opens the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am LORD.
Eze 20:27 ¶ Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and say to them, Thus says lord LORD: In this moreover your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.
Eze 20:28 For when I had brought them into the land, which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering. There also they made their sweet savor, and they poured out there their drink offerings.
Eze 20:29 Then I said to them, What does the high place to which ye go mean? So the name of it is called Bamah to this day.
Eze 20:30 Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says lord LORD: Do ye pollute yourselves according to the manner of your fathers, and play ye the harlot according to their abominations?
Eze 20:31 And when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, do ye pollute yourselves with all your idols to this day? And shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, says lord LORD, I will not be inquired of by you.
Eze 20:32 And that which comes into your mind shall not be at all, in that ye say, We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.
Eze 20:33 ¶ As I live, says lord LORD, surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, I will be king over you.
Eze 20:34 And I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries in which ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out,
Eze 20:35 and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples. And there I will enter into judgment with you face to face.
Eze 20:36 Just as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you, says lord LORD.
Eze 20:37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod. And I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.
Eze 20:38 And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and those who transgress against me. I will bring them forth out of the land where they sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am LORD.
Eze 20:39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus says lord LORD: Go ye. Serve each one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken to me. But ye shall no more profane my holy name with your gifts, and with your idols.
Eze 20:40 For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, says lord LORD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them, serve me in the land. There I will accept them, and there I will require your offerings, and the first-fruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.
Eze 20:41 I will accept you as a sweet savor when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries in which ye have been scattered. And I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.
Eze 20:42 And ye shall know that I am LORD when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I swore to give to your fathers.
Eze 20:43 And there ye shall remember your ways, and all your doings, by which ye have polluted yourselves. And ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.
Eze 20:44 And ye shall know that I am LORD when I have dealt with you for my name’s sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, says lord LORD.
Eze 20:45 ¶ And the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 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 field in the South.
Eze 20:47 And say to the forest of the South, Hear the word of LORD. Thus says lord LORD: 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 burnt by it.
Eze 20:48 And all flesh shall see that I, LORD, have kindled it. It shall not be quenched.
Eze 20:49 Then I said, Ah lord LORD! They say of me, Is he not a speaker of parables?
Eze 21:1 ¶ And the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 21:2 Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop [thy word] toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel.
Eze 21:3 And say to the land of Israel, Thus says LORD: Behold, I am against thee. And will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.
Eze 21:4 Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore my sword shall go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north.
Eze 21:5 And all flesh shall know that I, LORD, have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath. It shall not return any more.
Eze 21:6 Sigh therefore, thou son of man. With the breaking of thy loins and with bitterness thou shall sigh before their eyes.
Eze 21:7 And it shall be, when they say to thee, Why do thou sigh? That thou shall say, Because of the news. For it comes, 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 comes, and it shall be done, says lord LORD.
Eze 21:8 ¶ And the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 21:9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says LORD: Say, A sword, a sword. It is sharpened, and also furbished.
Eze 21:10 It is sharpened that it may make a slaughter. It is polished that it may be as lightning. Shall we then make mirth? It scorns the scepter of my son, every tree.
Eze 21:11 And it is given to be polished, that it may be handled. The sword, it is sharpened, yea, it is polished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
Eze 21:12 Cry and wail, son of man, for it is upon my people. It is upon all the rulers of Israel. They are delivered over to the sword with my people. Smite therefore upon thy thigh.
Eze 21:13 For there is a trial, and what if even the rod that scorns shall be no more? says lord LORD.
Eze 21:14 Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thy hands together. And let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the deadly wounded. It is the sword of the great [man] who is deadly wounded, which enters into their chambers.
Eze 21:15 I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied. Ah! It is made as lightning. It is pointed for slaughter.
Eze 21:16 Gather thee together. Go to the right. Set thyself in array. Go to the left, wherever thy face is set.
Eze 21:17 I will also smite my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest. I, LORD, have spoken it.
Eze 21:18 ¶ The word of LORD came to me again, saying,
Eze 21:19 Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways that the sword of the king of Babylon may come. Those two shall come forth out of one land. And mark out a place. Mark it out at the head of the way to the city.
Eze 21:20 Thou shall appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.
Eze 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 shook the arrows to and fro. He consulted the teraphim. He looked in the liver.
Eze 21:22 In his right hand was the divination [for] Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, to build forts.
Eze 21:23 And it shall be to them as a false divination in their sight, who have sworn oaths to them. But he brings iniquity to remembrance, that they may be taken.
Eze 21:24 Therefore thus says lord LORD: Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear, because ye have come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
Eze 21:25 And thou, O deadly wounded wicked man, the ruler of Israel, whose day has come, in the time of the iniquity of the end,
Eze 21:26 thus says lord LORD: Remove the turban, and take off the crown. This [shall be] no more the same. Exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high.
Eze 21:27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn it. This also shall be no more, until he comes whose right it is. And I will give it.
Eze 21:28 ¶ And thou, son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says lord LORD concerning the sons of Ammon, and concerning their reproach. And say thou, A sword, a sword is drawn. It is polished for the slaughter, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning,
Eze 21:29 while they see for thee false visions, while they divine lies to thee, to lay thee upon the necks of the wicked who are deadly wounded, whose day has come in the time of the iniquity of the end.
Eze 21:30 Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where thou were created, in the land of thy birth, I will judge thee.
Eze 21:31 And I will pour out my indignation upon thee. I will blow upon thee with the fire of my wrath, and I will deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, skilful to destroy.
Eze 21:32 Thou shall be for fuel to the fire. Thy blood shall be in the midst of the land. Thou shall no more be remembered. For I, LORD, have spoken it.
Eze 22:1 ¶ Moreover the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 22:2 And thou, son of man, will thou judge, will thou judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her abominations.
Eze 22:3 And thou shall say, Thus says lord LORD: A city that sheds blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and who makes idols against herself to defile her!
Eze 22:4 Thou have become guilty in thy blood that thou have shed, and are defiled in thine idols which thou have made. And thou have caused thy days to draw near, and have come even to thy years. Therefore I have made thee a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
Eze 22:5 Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall mock thee, thou infamous one, full of tumult.
Eze 22:6 Behold, the rulers of Israel, each one according to his power, have been in thee to shed blood.
Eze 22:7 In thee they have made light of father and mother. In the midst of thee they have dealt with the sojourner by oppression. In thee they have wronged the fatherless and the widow.
Eze 22:8 Thou have despised my holy things, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
Eze 22:9 Slanderous men have been in thee to shed blood, and in thee they have eaten upon the mountains. In the midst of thee they have committed lewdness.
Eze 22:10 In thee have they uncovered their fathers’ nakedness. In thee have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.
Eze 22:11 And one has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife, and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law, and another in thee has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.
Eze 22:12 In thee they have taken bribes to shed blood. Thou have taken interest and increase. And thou have greedily gained from thy neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me, says lord LORD.
Eze 22:13 Behold, therefore, I have smitten my hand at thy dishonest gain which thou have made, and at thy blood which has been in the midst of thee.
Eze 22:14 Can thy heart endure, or can thy hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I, LORD, have spoken it, and will do it.
Eze 22:15 And I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee through the countries, and I will consume thy filthiness out of thee.
Eze 22:16 And thou shall be profaned in thyself, in the sight of the nations. And thou shall know that I am LORD.
Eze 22:17 ¶ And the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 22:18 Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me. All of them are brass and tin and iron and lead, in the midst of the furnace. They are the dross of silver.
Eze 22:19 Therefore thus says lord LORD: Because ye have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem
Eze 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 I will gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there, and melt you.
Eze 22:21 Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst of it.
Eze 22:22 As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so ye shall be melted in the midst of it. And ye shall know that I, LORD, have poured out my wrath upon you.
Eze 22:23 ¶ And the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 22:24 Son of man, say to her, Thou are a land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
Eze 22:25 There is a conspiracy by her prophets in the midst of it, like a roaring lion ravening the prey. They have devoured souls. They take treasure and precious things. They have made her widows many in the midst thereof.
Eze 22:26 Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things. They have made no distinction between the holy and the common, nor have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
Eze 22:27 Her rulers in the midst of it are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.
Eze 22:28 And her prophets have daubed for them with untempered [mortar], seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus says lord LORD, when LORD has not spoken.
Eze 22:29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery. Yea, they have vexed the poor and needy man, and have oppressed the sojourner wrongfully.
Eze 22:30 And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.
Eze 22:31 Therefore I have poured out my indignation upon them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have brought their own way upon their heads, says lord LORD.
Eze 23:1 ¶ The word of LORD came again to me, saying,
Eze 23:2 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother.
Eze 23:3 And they played the harlot in Egypt. They played the harlot in their youth. There their breasts were pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity.
Eze 23:4 And the names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister. And they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
Eze 23:5 And Oholah played the harlot when she was mine, and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians [her] neighbors,
Eze 23:6 who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
Eze 23:7 And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them. And on whomever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself.
Eze 23:8 Neither has she left her whoredoms since Egypt. For in her youth they lie with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity, and they poured out their whoredom upon her.
Eze 23:9 Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
Eze 23:10 These uncovered her nakedness. They took her sons and her daughters, and they killed her with the sword. And she became a byword among women, for they executed judgments upon her.
Eze 23:11 ¶ And her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her whoredoms which were more than the whoredoms of her sister.
Eze 23:12 She doted upon the Assyrians, governors and rulers, [her] neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.
Eze 23:13 And I saw that she was defiled. They both took one way.
Eze 23:14 And she increased her whoredoms, for she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,
Eze 23:15 girded with belts upon their loins, with flowing turbans upon their heads, all of them rulers to look upon, according to the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their nativity.
Eze 23:16 And as soon as she saw them she doted upon them, and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.
Eze 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 soul was alienated from them.
Eze 23:18 So she uncovered her whoredoms, and uncovered her nakedness. Then my soul was alienated from her, just as my soul was alienated from her sister.
Eze 23:19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, remembering the days of her youth in which she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
Eze 23:20 And she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
Eze 23:21 Thus thou called to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in the handling of thy bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of thy youth.
Eze 23:22 ¶ Therefore, O Oholibah, thus says lord LORD: Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side:
Eze 23:23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, [and] all the Assyrians with them, desirable young men, governors and rulers all of them, rulers and men of renown, all of them riding upon horses.
Eze 23:24 And they shall come against thee with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples. They shall set themselves against thee with buckler and shield and helmet round about. And I will commit the judgment to them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.
Eze 23:25 And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal with thee in fury. They shall take away thy nose and thine ears, and thy residue shall fall by the sword. They shall take thy sons and thy daughters, and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.
Eze 23:26 They shall also strip thee of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels.
Eze 23:27 Thus I will make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom from the land of Egypt, so that thou shall not lift up thine eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.
Eze 23:28 For thus says lord LORD: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of those whom thou hate, into the hand of those from whom thy soul is alienated.
Eze 23:29 And they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labor, and shall leave thee naked and bare. And the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be uncovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
Eze 23:30 These things shall be done to thee, because thou have played the harlot after the nations, and because thou are polluted with their idols.
Eze 23:31 Thou have walked in the way of thy sister, therefore I will give her cup into thy hand.
Eze 23:32 Thus says lord LORD: Thou shall drink of thy sister’s cup, which is deep and large. Thou shall be laughed to scorn and had in derision. It contains much.
Eze 23:33 Thou shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.
Eze 23:34 Thou shall even drink it and drain it out. And thou shall gnaw the shards of it, and shall tear thy breasts, for I have spoken it, says lord LORD.
Eze 23:35 Therefore thus says lord LORD: Because thou have forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore thou also bear thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
Eze 23:36 ¶ LORD said moreover to me, Son of man, will thou judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.
Eze 23:37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands. And with their idols they have committed adultery. And they have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through [the fire] for them to be devoured.
Eze 23:38 Moreover they have done this to me: They have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
Eze 23:39 For when they had slain their sons to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it, and, lo, thus they have done in the midst of my house.
Eze 23:40 And furthermore ye have sent for men who come from far, to whom a messenger was sent. And, lo, they came, for whom thou washed thyself, painted thine eyes, and decked thyself with ornaments,
Eze 23:41 and sat upon a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon thou did set my incense and my oil.
Eze 23:42 And the voice of a multitude being at ease was with her. And with men of the common sort, were brought drunkards from the wilderness, and they put bracelets upon the hands of those [two women], and beautiful crowns upon their heads.
Eze 23:43 Then I said of her who was old in adulteries, Now they will play the harlot with her, and she [with them].
Eze 23:44 And they went in to her, as they go in to a harlot. So they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.
Eze 23:45 And righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.
Eze 23:46 For thus says lord LORD: I will bring up a company against them, and will give them to be tossed to and fro and robbed.
Eze 23:47 And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords. They shall kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
Eze 23:48 Thus I will cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do according to your lewdness.
Eze 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 lord LORD.
Eze 24:1 ¶ Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 24:2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, [even] of this selfsame day; the king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this selfsame day.
Eze 24:3 And utter a parable to the rebellious house, and say to them, Thus says lord LORD: Set on the caldron. Set it on, and also pour water into it.
Eze 24:4 Gather the pieces of it into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
Eze 24:5 Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile [of wood] for the bones under [the caldron]. Make it boil well, yea, let the bones of it be boiled in the midst of it.
Eze 24:6 Therefore thus says lord LORD: Woe to the bloody city, to the caldron whose rust is therein, and whose rust has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece. No lot has fallen upon it.
Eze 24:7 For her blood is in the midst of her. She set it upon the bare rock. She did not pour it upon the ground to cover it with dust.
Eze 24:8 That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood upon the bare rock, that it should not be covered.
Eze 24:9 Therefore thus says lord LORD: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.
Eze 24:10 Heap on the wood; make the fire hot. Boil the flesh well, and make the broth thick. And let the bones be burned.
Eze 24:11 Then set it empty upon the coals of it, that it may be hot, and the brass of it may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.
Eze 24:12 She has wearied [herself] with toil, yet her great scum does not go forth out of her, her scum by fire.
Eze 24:13 In thy filthiness is lewdness. Because I have cleansed thee and thou were not cleansed, thou shall not be cleansed from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my wrath toward thee to rest.
Eze 24:14 I, LORD, have spoken it. It shall come to pass, and I will do it. I will not go back. I will neither spare, nor will I repent. According to thy ways, and according to thy doings, they shall judge thee, says lord LORD.
Eze 24:15 ¶ Also the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 24:16 Son of man, behold, I take the desire of thine eyes away from thee with a stroke. Yet thou shall neither mourn nor weep. Neither shall thy tears run down.
Eze 24:17 Sigh, but not aloud. Make no mourning for the dead. Bind thy headdress upon thee, and put thy shoes upon thy feet. And do not cover thy lips, and do not eat the bread of men.
Eze 24:18 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. And I did in the morning as I was commanded.
Eze 24:19 And the people said to me, Will thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou do so?
Eze 24:20 Then I said to them, The word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 24:21 Speak to the house of Israel, Thus says lord LORD: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul has compassion. And your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind shall fall by the sword.
Eze 24:22 And ye shall do as I have done. Ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.
Eze 24:23 And your turbans shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet. Ye shall not mourn nor weep, but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.
Eze 24:24 Thus Ezekiel shall be to you a sign, according to all that he has done ye shall do. When this comes, then ye shall know that I am lord LORD.
Eze 24:25 And 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 upon which they set their heart—their sons and their daughters—
Eze 24:26 that in that day he who escapes shall come to thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?
Eze 24:27 In that day thy mouth shall be opened to him who is escaped, and thou shall speak, and no more be mute. So thou shall be a sign to them, and they shall know that I am LORD.
Eze 25:1 ¶ And the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 25:2 Son of man, set thy face toward the sons of Ammon, and prophesy against them.
Eze 25:3 And say to the sons of Ammon, Hear the word of lord LORD. Thus says lord LORD: Because thou said, Aha, against my sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was made desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into captivity,
Eze 25:4 therefore, behold, I will deliver thee to the sons of the east for a possession, and they shall set their encampments in thee, and make their dwellings in thee. They shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk.
Eze 25:5 And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the sons of Ammon a couching-place for flocks. And ye shall know that I am LORD.
Eze 25:6 For thus says lord LORD: Because thou have clapped thy hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the spite of thy soul against the land of Israel,
Eze 25:7 therefore, behold, I have stretched out my hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the nations. And I will cut thee off from the peoples, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries. I will destroy thee, and thou shall know that I am LORD.
Eze 25:8 ¶ Thus says lord LORD: Because Moab and Seir say, Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations,
Eze 25:9 therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country—Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim—
Eze 25:10 [open] to the sons of the east, against the sons of Ammon. And I will give them for a possession, that the sons of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations.
Eze 25:11 And I will execute judgments upon Moab, and they shall know that I am LORD.
Eze 25:12 Thus says lord LORD: Because Edom has dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them,
Eze 25:13 therefore thus says lord LORD: I will stretch out my hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it, and I will make it desolate. From Teman, even to Dedan they shall fall by the sword.
Eze 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 my anger and according to my wrath. And they shall know my vengeance, says lord LORD.
Eze 25:15 Thus says lord LORD: Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with spite of soul to destroy with perpetual enmity,
Eze 25:16 therefore thus says lord LORD: Behold, I will stretch out my hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
Eze 25:17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with wrathful rebukes. And they shall know that I am LORD when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
Eze 26:1 ¶ And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first [day] of the month, that the word of LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 26:2 Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken, the gate of the peoples. She has turned around to me. I shall be replenished, now that she is laid waste,
Eze 26:3 therefore thus says lord LORD: Behold, I am against thee, O Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causes its waves to come up.
Eze 26:4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers. I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her a bare rock.
Eze 26:5 She shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken it, says lord LORD. And she shall become a spoil to the nations,
Eze 26:6 and her daughters who are in the field shall be slain with the sword. And they shall know that I am LORD.
Eze 26:7 For thus says lord LORD: Behold, I will bring upon Tyre, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and a company, and many people.
Eze 26:8 He shall kill thy daughters in the field with the sword. And he shall make forts against thee, and cast up a mound against thee, and raise up the buckler against thee.
Eze 26:9 And he shall set his battering engines against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.
Eze 26:10 Because of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee. Thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wagons, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city in which a breach is made.
Eze 26:11 With the hoofs of his horses he shall tread down all thy streets. He shall kill thy people with the sword, and the pillars of thy strength shall go down to the ground.
Eze 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 waters.
Eze 26:13 And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease, and the sound of thy harps shall no more be heard.
Eze 26:14 And I will make thee a bare rock; thou shall be a place for the spreading of nets. Thou shall be built no more, for I LORD have spoken it, says lord LORD.
Eze 26:15 ¶ Thus says lord LORD to Tyre: Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?
Eze 26:16 Then all the rulers of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lie aside their robes, and strip off their broidered garments. They shall clothe themselves with trembling. They shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble every moment, and be astonished at thee.
Eze 26:17 And they shall take up a lamentation over thee, and say to thee, How thou are destroyed, who were inhabited by seafaring men, the renowned city that was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who caused their terror to be on all who dwelt there!
Eze 26:18 Now the isles shall tremble in the day of thy fall. Yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be dismayed at thy departure.
Eze 26:19 For thus says lord LORD: 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 the great waters shall cover thee,
Eze 26:20 then I will bring thee down with those who descend into the pit, to the people of old time, and will make thee to dwell in the nether parts of the earth, in the places that are desolate of old, with those who go down to the pit, that thou not be inhabited. And I will set glory in the land of the living.
Eze 26:21 I will make thee a horror, and thou shall no more have any being. Though thou be sought for, yet thou shall never be found again, says lord LORD.
Eze 27:1 ¶ The word of LORD came again to me, saying,
Eze 27:2 And thou, son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre,
Eze 27:3 and say to Tyre, O thou that dwells at the entry of the sea, that is the merchant of the peoples to many isles, thus says lord LORD: Thou, O Tyre, have said, I am perfect in beauty.

Eze 27:28 At the sound of the cry of thy pilots the suburbs shall shake.
