desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.

rubies for your wares.

against Zidon, and

against Sidon and
prophesy against her.

against thee, O Zidon; and I will be
glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be
sanctified in her.

against you, O
Sidon, and I will be
glorified within you. They will know that I am the LORD when I
execute judgments
against her and
demonstrate My
holiness through her.
For I will send into her
pestilence, and blood into her street; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
I will send a plague against her and shed blood in her streets; the slain will fall within her, while the sword is against her on every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards;
yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that
despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.

execute judgments
against all those around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.’”

against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and
prophesy against him, and
against all Egypt:

against Pharaoh king of Egypt and
prophesy against him and
against all Egypt.
Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am
against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great
dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.

desolate, from the tower of
Syene even unto the border of
Ethiopia.

desolate wasteland from

Syene, and as far as the border of
Cush.

again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their
habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom.
I will restore Egypt from captivity and bring them back to the land of Pathros, the land of their origin. There they will be a lowly kingdom.
It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it
exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.
Egypt will be the lowliest of kingdoms and will never
again exalt itself above the nations. For I will diminish Egypt so that it will never
again rule over the nations.

remembrance, when they shall look after them: but they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service
against Tyrus: every head was made
bald, and every shoulder was
peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served
against it:
“Son of man,
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to labor
strenuously against Tyre. Every head was made
bald and every shoulder made raw. But he and his army received no wages from Tyre for the labor they expended on it.
I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour
wherewith he served
against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD.
I have given him the land of Egypt as the reward for his labor, because it was done for Me, declares the Lord GOD.
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
A sword will come
against Egypt, and there will be
anguish in
Cush when the slain fall in Egypt, its wealth is taken away, and its foundations are
torn down.
He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.
He and his people with him, the most
ruthless of the nations, will be brought in to destroy the land. They will draw their swords
against Egypt and fill the land with the slain.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt. I will break his arms, both the strong one and the one already broken, and will make the sword fall from his hand.
But I will
strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.
I will
strengthen the arms of Babylon’s king, but Pharaoh’s arms will fall
limp. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I place My sword in the hand of Babylon’s king, and he wields it
against the land of Egypt.
For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee.
For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘The sword of the king of Babylon will come against you!
I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the
hoofs of beasts trouble them.

muddy them
again, and no cattle
hooves will
disturb them.

Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their
watchman:
“Son of man, speak to your people and tell them: ‘Suppose I bring the sword
against a land, and the people of that land choose a man from among them,
appointing him as their
watchman,
If when he
seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the
trumpet, and
warn the people;
and he sees the sword coming
against that land and blows the ram’s horn to
warn the people.
Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
But if I tell the wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ and he turns from his sin and does what is just and right—
If the wicked restore the
pledge, give
again that he had
robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without
committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
if he restores a
pledge, makes
restitution for what he has
stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without practicing iniquity—then he will surely live; he will not die.
None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
None of the sins he has committed will be held against him. He has done what is just and right; he will surely live.
Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD.
As for you, son of man, your people are talking about you near the city walls and in the doorways of their houses. One speaks to another, each saying to his brother, ‘Come and hear the message that has come from the LORD!’
The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye
healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought
again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.

healed the sick, bound up the injured, brought back the strays, or searched for the lost. Instead, you have ruled them with violence and cruelty.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am
against the
shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the
shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am
against the
shepherds, and I will demand from them My flock and remove them from tending the flock, so that they can no longer feed themselves. For I will deliver My flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them.’
I will seek that which was lost, and bring
again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will
strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.
I will seek the lost, bring back the strays, bind up the broken, and
strengthen the weak; but the
sleek and strong I will destroy. I will
shepherd them with justice.’
Son of man, set thy face
against mount
Seir, and
prophesy against it,
“Son of man, set your face
against Mount
Seir and
prophesy against it,
And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount
Seir, I am
against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand
against thee, and I will make thee most
desolate.
and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am
against you, O Mount
Seir. I will stretch out My hand
against you and make you a
desolate waste.
Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine
envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred
against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will treat you according to the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred against them, and I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.
And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken
against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid
desolate, they are given us to
consume.
Then you will know that I, the LORD, have heard every
contemptuous word you uttered
against the mountains of Israel when you said, ‘They are
desolate; they are given to us to
devour!’
Thus with your mouth ye have
boasted against me, and have multiplied your words
against me: I have heard them.
You
boasted against Me with your mouth and multiplied your words
against Me. I heard it Myself!
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said
against you,
Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:
This is what the Lord GOD says: Because the enemy has said of you, ‘
Aha! The ancient heights have become our possession,’
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken
against the residue of the heathen, and
against all
Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with
despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Surely in My burning zeal I have spoken
against the rest of the nations, and
against all
Edom, who took My land as their own possession with wholehearted joy and utter contempt, so that its pastureland became
plunder.
Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord GOD.
I will no longer allow the taunts of the nations to be heard
against you, and you will no longer
endure the reproach of the peoples or cause your nation to
stumble, declares the Lord GOD.”
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.
This is what the Lord GOD says: Once
again I will hear the
plea of the house of Israel and do for them this: I will multiply their people like a flock.

Meshech and
Tubal.
After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
After a long time you will be summoned. In the latter years you will enter a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been
desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and all now dwell securely.
And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
You will say, ‘I will go up
against a land of unwalled villages; I will come
against a
tranquil people who dwell securely, all of them living without walls or bars or gates—
To take a
spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the
desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have
gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
in order to seize the
spoil and carry off the
plunder, to turn a hand
against the
desolate places now inhabited and
against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired
livestock and possessions and who live at the center of the land.’
And thou shalt come up
against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee
against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be
sanctified in thee, O
Gog, before their eyes.
You will advance
against My people Israel like a cloud covering the land. It will happen in the latter days, O
Gog, that I will bring you
against My land, so that the nations may know Me when I show Myself holy in you before their eyes.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which
prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee
against them?

prophesied for years that I would bring you
against them?
And it shall come to pass at the same time when
Gog shall come
against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my
fury shall come up in my face.
Now on that day when
Gog comes
against the land of Israel, declares the Lord GOD, My wrath will
flare up.
And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
And I will
summon a sword
against Gog on all My mountains, declares the Lord GOD, and every man’s sword will be
against his brother.
And I will
plead against him with
pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and
brimstone.
I will
execute judgment upon him with plague and
bloodshed. I will pour out torrents of rain, hailstones, fire, and sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him.
Therefore, thou son of man,
prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am
against thee, O
Gog, the chief prince of
Meshech and
Tubal:
“As for you, O son of man,
prophesy against Gog and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am
against you, O
Gog, chief prince of
Meshech and
Tubal.
And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
I will turn you around, drive you along, bring you up from the far north, and send you against the mountains of Israel.
And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they
trespassed against me, therefore
hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
And the nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile for their iniquity, because they were unfaithful to Me. So I
hid My face from them and delivered them into the hands of their enemies, so that they all fell by the sword.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring
again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be
jealous for my holy name;
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Now I will restore Jacob from captivity and will have
compassion on the whole house of Israel, and I will be
jealous for My holy name.
After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have
trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
They will
forget their disgrace and all the
treachery they committed
against Me, when they dwell securely in their land, with no one to
frighten them.
When I have brought them
again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am
sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
When I bring them back from the peoples and gather them out of the lands of their enemies, I will show My
holiness in them in the sight of many nations.

Then he measured the
gateway from the roof of one gate chamber to the roof of the opposite one; the distance was twenty-five cubits from
doorway to
doorway.
And the
pavement by the side of the gates over
against the length of the gates was the lower
pavement.
which
flanked the gateways and corresponded to the length of the gates; this was the lower
pavement.
And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits.
There was a gate to the inner court facing the north gate, just as there was on the east. He measured the distance from
gateway to
gateway to be a hundred cubits.
And he measured the length of the building over
against the separate place which was behind it, and the
galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court;
Next he measured the length of the building facing the temple
courtyard at the rear of the temple, including its
galleries on each side; it was a hundred cubits. The outer sanctuary, the inner sanctuary, and the
porticoes facing the court,
The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the
galleries round about on their three stories, over
against the door, cieled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered;
as well as the thresholds and the
beveled windows and the
galleries all around with their three levels opposite the
threshold, were overlaid with wood on all sides. They were
paneled from the ground to the windows, and the windows were covered.
Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was before the building toward the north.
Then the man led me out northward into the outer court, and he brought me to the group of chambers opposite the temple
courtyard and the outer wall on the north side.
Over
against the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and over
against the
pavement which was for the utter court, was gallery
against gallery in three stories.
Gallery faced gallery in three levels opposite the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court and opposite the
pavement that belonged to the outer court.
And the wall that was without over
against the chambers, toward the utter court on the
forepart of the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.
An outer wall in front of the chambers was fifty cubits long and ran parallel to the chambers and the outer court.
The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against the building.
On the south side along the length of the wall of the outer court were chambers adjoining the
courtyard and opposite the building,
And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more
defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their
whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.
and He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place for the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the Israelites
forever. The house of Israel will never
again defile My holy name—neither they nor their kings—by their
prostitution and by the funeral offerings for their kings at their deaths.
Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity.
Because they ministered before their idols and became a
stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I
swore with an
uplifted hand concerning them that they would bear the consequences of their iniquity, declares the Lord GOD.
And ye shall
appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand long, over
against the
oblation of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.
As the property of the city, you are to set aside an area 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long, adjacent to the holy district. It will belong to the whole house of Israel.
And a portion shall be for the prince on the one side and on the other side of the
oblation of the holy portion, and of the possession of the city, before the
oblation of the holy portion, and before the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward: and the length shall be over
against one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border.
Now the prince will have the area bordering each side of the area formed by the holy district and the property of the city, extending westward from the western side and eastward from the eastern side, running
lengthwise from the western boundary to the eastern boundary and parallel to one of the
tribal portions.
But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth over against it.
When the people of the land come before the LORD at the appointed feasts,
whoever enters by the north gate to worship must go out by the south gate, and
whoever enters by the south gate must go out by the north gate. No one is to return through the gate by which he entered, but each must go out by the opposite gate.
Afterward he brought me
again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the
threshold of the house eastward: for the
forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.

swimming—a river that could not be crossed on foot.
