debtor his
pledge, hath
spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the

trespassed, and in his sin that he hath
sinned, in them shall he die.

come, and maketh idols against herself to
defile herself.

doom by
shedding blood within her walls and making idols to

come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a
mocking to all countries.

match its boughs. No tree in the garden of God could
compare with its beauty.

seeth the sword
come upon the land, he blow the
trumpet, and
warn the people;

coming against that land and blows the ram’s horn to
warn the people.

abomination, and ye
defile every one his neighbour’s wife: and shall ye possess the land?

desolate, that none shall pass through.

desolate because of all their abominations which they have
committed.

desolate waste because of all the abominations they have
committed.’

dishonest gain.

Then He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones come to life?” “O Lord GOD,” I replied, “only You know.”
Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
This is what the Lord GOD says to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you will come to life.
And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
I will
attach tendons to you and make flesh grow upon you and cover you with skin. I will put breath within you so that you will
come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”

prophesied as I was
commanded: and as I
prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a
shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
So I
prophesied as I had been
commanded. And as I
prophesied, there was suddenly a noise, a
rattling, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
Then said he unto me,
Prophesy unto the wind,
prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Come from the four winds, O breath, and
breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

Prophesy to the breath;
prophesy, son of man, and tell the breath that this is what the Lord GOD says:
Come from the four winds, O breath, and
breathe into these slain, so that they may live!”
So I
prophesied as he
commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
So I
prophesied as He had
commanded me, and the breath entered them, and they came to life and stood on their feet—a vast army.
Therefore
prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to
come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
Therefore
prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘O My people, I will open your graves and bring you up from them, and I will bring you back to the land of Israel.
Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
“And you, son of man, take a single stick and write on it: ‘Belonging to Judah and to the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another stick and write on it: ‘Belonging to Joseph—the stick of Ephraim—and to all the house of Israel associated with him.’
And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and
horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great
company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws, and bring you out with all your army—your horses, your
horsemen in full
armor, and a great
company armed with shields and bucklers, all
brandishing their swords.
