As I live,
saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he
despised, and whose covenant he
brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
‘As surely as I live,’ declares the Lord GOD, ‘he will die in Babylon, in the land of the king who enthroned him, whose oath he
despised and whose covenant he broke.
Therefore thus
saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely mine oath that he hath
despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I
recompense upon his own head.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘As surely as I live, I will bring down upon his head My oath that he
despised and My covenant that he broke.

saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high
cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent:

cedar, and I will set it out. I will
pluck a tender
sprig from its
topmost shoots, and I will plant it on a high and lofty mountain.
As I live,

Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Lord GOD. Wouldn’t I
prefer that he turn from his ways and live?
Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
Yet the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Are My ways unjust, O house of Israel? Is it not your ways that are unjust?
Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways,
saith the Lord GOD.
Repent, and turn
yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
Therefore, O house of Israel, I will judge you, each according to his ways, declares the Lord GOD.
Repent and turn from all your transgressions, so that your iniquity will not become your
downfall.

saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn
yourselves, and live ye.

anyone’s death, declares the Lord GOD. So

And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I am the LORD your God;
and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: On the day I chose Israel, I
swore an oath to the descendants of the house of Jacob and made Myself known to them in the land of Egypt. With an
uplifted hand I
said to them, ‘I am the LORD your God.’
Then
said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and
defile not
yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
And I
said to them: ‘Each of you must throw away the abominations before his eyes, and you must not
defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.’
But they rebelled against me, and would not
hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they
forsake the idols of Egypt: then I
said, I will pour out my
fury upon them to
accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
But they rebelled against Me and refused to
listen. None of them cast away the abominations before their eyes, and they did not
forsake the idols of Egypt. So I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and
vent My anger against them in the land of Egypt.
But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they
despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly
polluted: then I
said, I would pour out my
fury upon them in the wilderness, to
consume them.
Yet the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness. They did not follow My statutes and they rejected My ordinances—though the man who does these things will live by them—and they utterly
profaned My Sabbaths. Then I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and put an end to them in the wilderness.
But I
said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor
defile yourselves with their idols:
In the wilderness I
said to their children: ‘Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers or keep their ordinances or
defile yourselves with their idols.
Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they
polluted my sabbaths: then I
said, I would pour out my
fury upon them, to
accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
But the children rebelled against Me. They did not walk in My statutes or carefully observe My ordinances—though the man who does these things will live by them—and they
profaned My Sabbaths. So I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and
vent My anger against them in the wilderness.
Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have
blasphemed me, in that they have committed a
trespass against me.

blasphemed Me by their unfaithfulness against Me.

said unto them, What is the high place
whereunto ye go? And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day.

pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live,
saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.
When you offer your gifts, sacrificing your sons in the fire, you continue to
defile yourselves with all your idols to this day. So should I be consulted by you, O house of Israel? As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will not be consulted by you!
As I live,
saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with
fury poured out, will I rule over you:
As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, with a strong hand, an outstretched arm, and outpoured wrath I will rule over you.
Like as I
pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I
plead with you,
saith the Lord GOD.
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, declares the Lord GOD.
As for you, O house of Israel, thus
saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and
hereafter also, if ye will not
hearken unto me: but
pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.
And as for you, O house of Israel, this is what the Lord GOD says: Go and serve your idols, every one of you. But afterward, you will surely
listen to Me, and you will no longer
defile My holy name with your gifts and idols.
For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.

And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will
kindle a fire in thee, and it shall
devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be
quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.
Say to the forest of the Negev: Hear the word of the LORD! This is what the Lord GOD says: I am about to
ignite in you a fire, and it will
devour all your trees, both green and dry. The
blazing flame will not be
quenched, and by it every face from south to north will be
scorched.

sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.

sheath and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked.

tidings; because it cometh: and every heart shall
melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall
faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass,
saith the Lord GOD.
And when they ask, ‘Why are you
groaning?’ you are to say, ‘Because of the news that is coming. Every heart will
melt, and every hand will go
limp. Every spirit will
faint, and every
knee will turn to water.’
Yes, it is coming and it will surely happen, declares the Lord GOD.”
Son of man,
prophesy, and say, Thus
saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also
furbished:
“Son of man,
prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord says: ‘A sword, a sword, sharpened and polished—
Because it is a trial, and what if the sword
contemn even the rod? it shall be no more,
saith the Lord GOD.
Surely testing will come! And what if even the
scepter, which the sword despises, does not continue?’ declares the Lord GOD.
I will also
smite mine hands together, and I will cause my
fury to rest: I the LORD have
said it.
I too will strike My hands together, and I will satisfy My wrath.’ I, the LORD, have spoken.”
Therefore thus
saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, that ye are come to
remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have drawn attention to your guilt,
exposing your transgressions, so that your sins are revealed in all your deeds—because you have come to
remembrance—you shall be taken in hand.

glittering:

Ammonites and their contempt: ‘A sword! A sword is drawn for slaughter, polished to
consume, to
flash like
lightning—
Then say thou, Thus
saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to
defile herself.
and tell her that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘O city who brings her own
doom by
shedding blood within her walls and making idols to
defile herself,
In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken
usury and increase, and thou hast
greedily gained of thy neighbours by
extortion, and hast forgotten me,
saith the Lord GOD.
In you they take bribes to shed blood. You
engage in
usury, take excess interest, and
extort your neighbors. But Me you have forgotten, declares the Lord GOD.

fury. I have brought their ways down upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”
Therefore, O
Aholibah, thus
saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is
alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side;
Therefore, Oholibah, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will
incite your lovers against you, those from whom you turned away in
disgust. And I will bring them against you from every side—
For thus
saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy mind is
alienated:
For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Surely I will deliver you into the hands of those you
hate, from whom you turned away in
disgust.
Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy sister’s cup deep and large: thou shalt be
laughed to
scorn and had in
derision; it containeth much.
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You will drink your sister’s cup, a cup deep and wide. It will bring
scorn and
derision, for it holds so much.
Thou shalt even drink it and
suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and
pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it,
saith the Lord GOD.
You will drink it and
drain it; you will
dash it to pieces, and
tear your breasts. For I have spoken,’ declares the Lord GOD.
Therefore thus
saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy
lewdness and thy whoredoms.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have forgotten Me and have cast Me behind your back, you must bear the consequences of your
indecency and
prostitution.’”
The LORD
said moreover unto me; Son of man,
wilt thou judge Aholah and
Aholibah?
yea, declare unto them their abominations;
Then the LORD said to me: “Son of man, will you pass judgment against Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.

said I unto her that was old in
adulteries, Will they now commit whoredoms with her, and she with them?

adulteries: ‘Now let them use her as a
prostitute, for that is all she is!’
For thus
saith the Lord GOD; I will bring up a company upon them, and will give them to be removed and
spoiled.
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Bring a
mob against them and
consign them to terror and
plunder.
And utter a parable unto the
rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:
Now speak a parable to this
rebellious house and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Put the pot on the fire; put it on and pour in the water.

saith the Lord GOD;

bloody city, to the pot whose
scum is therein, and whose
scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall up on it.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘
Woe to the city of
bloodshed, to the pot now
rusted, whose
rust will not come off! Empty it piece by piece; cast no lots for its contents.
Therefore thus
saith the Lord GOD;
Woe to the
bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.

spare, neither will I

refrain or show
pity, nor will I relent. I will judge you according to your ways and deeds,’ declares the Lord GOD.”

Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Because thou
saidst,
Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was
profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was
desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity;
Tell the
Ammonites to hear the word of the Lord GOD, for this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you
exclaimed, “
Aha!” when My sanctuary was
profaned, when the land of Israel was laid waste, and when the house of Judah went into exile,
For thus
saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast
clapped thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and
rejoiced in heart with all thy
despite against the land of Israel;
For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you
clapped your hands and stomped your feet and
rejoiced over the land of Israel with a heart full of contempt,
Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and
Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen;
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because Moab and
Seir said, “Look, the house of Judah is like all the other nations,”
Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Because that
Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking
vengeance, and hath greatly
offended, and
revenged himself upon them;

Edom acted vengefully against the house of Judah, and in so doing
incurred grievous guilt,
Therefore thus
saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine hand upon
Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it
desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.
therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will stretch out My hand against
Edom and cut off from it both man and beast. I will make it a wasteland, and from Teman to Dedan they will fall by the sword.
And I will lay my
vengeance upon
Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in
Edom according to mine anger and according to my
fury; and they shall know my
vengeance,
saith the Lord GOD.
I will take My
vengeance on
Edom by the hand of My people Israel, and they will deal with
Edom according to My anger and wrath. Then they will know My
vengeance, declares the Lord GOD.’
Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt by
revenge, and have taken
vengeance with a
despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred;
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because the Philistines acted in
vengeance, taking
vengeance with
malice of soul to destroy Judah with ancient hostility,
Therefore thus
saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the
remnant of the sea coast.
therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I will stretch out My hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites and destroy the
remnant along the coast.
Son of man, because that Tyrus hath
said against Jerusalem,
Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be
replenished, now she is laid waste:
“Son of man, because Tyre has
said of Jerusalem, ‘
Aha! The gate to the nations is broken; it has
swung open to me; now that she lies in ruins I will be filled,’
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up.
therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, O Tyre, I am against you, and I will raise up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves.
It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it,
saith the Lord GOD: and it shall become a
spoil to the nations.

plunder for the nations,
For thus
saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with
chariots, and with
horsemen, and companies, and much people.
For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses and
chariots, with cavalry and a great company of troops.
And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
I will make you a bare rock, and you will become a place to spread the fishing nets. You will never be rebuilt, for I, the LORD, have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.’
Thus
saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles
shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?
This is what the Lord GOD says to Tyre: ‘Will not the coastlands
quake at the sound of your
downfall, when the wounded
groan at the slaughter in your midst?
For thus
saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee a
desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee;
For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When I make you a
desolate city like other deserted cities, and when I raise up the deep against you so that the mighty waters cover you,
I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD.
I will make you an object of
horror, and you will be no more. You will be sought, but will never be found,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art
situate at the entry of the sea, which art a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus
saith the Lord GOD; O Tyrus, thou hast
said, I am of perfect beauty.
Tell Tyre, who dwells at the
gateway to the sea, merchant of the peoples on many coasts, that this is what the Lord GOD says: You have
said, O Tyre, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’
Fine linen with
broidered work from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy
sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered thee.

sail, which served as your
banner. Of blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah they made your
awning.
The ancients of Gebal and the wise men thereof were in thee thy calkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to occupy thy
merchandise.

merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy
merchandise, and all thy men of war, that are in thee, and in all thy company which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin.
Your wealth, wares, and
merchandise, your
sailors, captains, and shipwrights, your merchants and all the warriors within you, with all the other people on board, will sink into the heart of the sea on the day of your
downfall.
The suburbs shall
shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots.
And all that handle the
oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land;
All who handle the oars will
abandon their ships. The
sailors and all the captains of the sea will stand on the shore.
Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
“Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre that this is what the Lord GOD says: Your heart is proud, and you have said, ‘I am a god; I sit in the seat of gods in the heart of the sea.’ Yet you are a man and not a god, though you have regarded your heart as that of a god.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you regard your heart as the heart of a god,
Thou shalt die the deaths of the
uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it,
saith the Lord GOD.

uncircumcised at the hands of foreigners. For I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.”

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.

saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be
sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.

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.
Speak to him and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Pharaoh king of Egypt, O great
monster who lies among his rivers, who says, ‘The Nile is mine; I made it myself.’
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will bring a sword against you and cut off from you man and beast.
And the land of Egypt shall be
desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he hath
said, The river is mine, and I have made it.
The land of Egypt will become a
desolate wasteland. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because you
said, ‘The Nile is mine; I made it,’
Yet thus
saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people
whither they were scattered:

saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her
spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.

Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who will carry off its wealth, seize its
spoil, and remove its
plunder. This will be the wages for his army.
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.
Son of man,
prophesy and say, Thus
saith the Lord GOD;

Woe worth the day

prophesy and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says:
Wail, ‘
Alas for that day!’

uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of
