Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.

seen by the River Kebar. Each creature went straight
ahead.
Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into
Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had
seen went up from me.
And the Spirit lifted me up and carried me back to
Chaldea, to the exiles in the vision given by the Spirit of God. After the vision had gone up from me,
Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a
rebellious house, which have eyes to
see, and
see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a
rebellious house.

rebellious house. They have eyes to
see but do not
see, and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a
rebellious house.
In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the
twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou
see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.

dusk; cover your face so that you cannot
see the land. For I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.”
And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the
twilight, and shall go forth: they shall
dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he
see not the ground with his eyes.
And at
dusk the prince among them will lift his bags to his shoulder and go out. They will
dig through the wall to bring him out. He will cover his face so he cannot
see the land.

snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not
see it, though he shall die there.

snare. I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not
see it, and there he will die.

seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.

Woe unto the
foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have
seen nothing!

They have
seen vanity and lying
divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would
confirm the word.
They
see false visions and speak lying divinations. They claim, ‘Thus declares the LORD,’ when the LORD did not send them; yet they wait for the
fulfillment of their message.
Have ye not
seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying
divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith it;
albeit I have not spoken?
Haven’t you
seen a false vision and spoken a lying
divination when you
proclaim, ‘Thus declares the LORD,’ even though I have not spoken?

And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither 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 the Lord GOD.
My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and speak lying divinations. They will not belong to the council of My people or be recorded in the register of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.
To wit, the prophets of Israel which
prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which
see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD.
those prophets of Israel who
prophesied to Jerusalem and saw a vision of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Lord GOD.’
Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your
pillows,
wherewith ye there
hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will
tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye
hunt to make them fly.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says:
See, I am against the magic charms with which you
ensnare souls like birds, and I will
tear them from your arms. So I will free the souls you have ensnared like birds.
Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
therefore you will no longer
see false visions or practice
divination. I will deliver My people from your hands. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”

remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto 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.
Yet, behold, some survivors will be left in it—sons and daughters who will be brought out. They will come out to you, and when you
see their conduct and actions, you will be comforted regarding the
disaster I have brought upon Jerusalem—all that I have brought upon it.
And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.
They will bring you
consolation when you
see their conduct and actions, and you will know that it was not without cause that I have done all these things within it,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD,
seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an
imperious whorish woman;
How weak-willed is your heart, declares the Lord GOD, while you do all these things, the acts of a shameless
prostitute!
Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast
hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may
see all thy nakedness.
therefore I will surely gather all the lovers with whom you found pleasure, all those you loved and all those you
hated. I will gather them against you from all around and
expose you before them, and they will
see you completely naked.

Seeing he
despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape.

despised the oath by breaking the covenant.
Seeing that he gave his hand in
pledge yet did all these things, he will not escape!’

beget a son, that
seeth all his father’s sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,

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.’
And all flesh shall
see that I the LORD have
kindled it: it shall not be
quenched.
Then all people will
see that I, the LORD, have
kindled it; it will not be
quenched.”

sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
Because I will cut off both the righteous and the wicked, My sword will be
unsheathed against
everyone from south to north.
For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use
divination: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.
For the king of Babylon stands at the
fork in the road, at the junction of the two roads, to
seek an
omen: He shakes the arrows, he consults the idols, he examines the liver.
And it shall be unto them as a false
divination in their sight, to them that have
sworn oaths: but he will call to
remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.

seem like a false
omen to the eyes of those who have
sworn allegiance to him, but it will draw attention to their guilt and take them
captive.

Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be
healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.
“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
See, it has not been bound up for
healing, or
splinted for strength to hold the sword.
Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.
Pharaoh will see them and be comforted over all his multitude— Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword, declares the Lord GOD.
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.
But if the
watchman see the sword come, and blow not the
trumpet, and the people be not
warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the
watchman’s hand.
But if the
watchman sees the sword coming and fails to blow the horn to
warn the people, and the sword comes and takes away a life, then that one will be taken away in his iniquity, but I will hold the
watchman accountable for his blood.’
My sheep
wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill:
yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or
seek after them.
My flock went
astray on all the mountains and every high hill. They were scattered over the face of all the earth, with no one to search for them or
seek them out.’
For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I Myself will search for My flock and seek them out.
As a
shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I
seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the
cloudy and dark day.
As a
shepherd looks for his scattered sheep when he is among the flock, so I will look for My flock. I will
rescue them from all the places to which they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.
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.’
Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must
tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have
drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?
Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also
trample the rest of the pasture with your feet? Is it not enough for you to drink the clear waters? Must you also
muddy the rest with your feet?

shew thee; for to the intent that I might
shew them unto thee art thou brought
hither: declare all that thou
seest to the house of Israel.

And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he
see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort? then shall ye make me
endanger my head to the king.
but he said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who has assigned your food and drink. For why should he
see your faces looking
thinner than those of the other young men your age? You would
endanger my head before the king!”
Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king’s meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.
Then compare our appearances with those of the young men who are eating the royal food, and deal with your servants according to what you see.”
The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.
The king replied, “I know for sure that you are
stalling for time, because you
see that my word is final.
The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?

And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with
miry clay, they shall
mingle themselves with the
seed of men: but they shall not

mix with one another, but will not hold together any more than iron mixes with clay.
The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a

reveal this
mystery.”

see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no
hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

exclaimed. “I
see four men, unbound and
unharmed, walking around in the fire—and the fourth looks like a son of the gods!”
O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.
“O Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and that no
mystery baffles you. So explain to me the visions I saw in my dream, and their interpretation.
This dream I king
Nebuchadnezzar have
seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof,
forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.
This is the dream that I, King
Nebuchadnezzar, saw. Now, Belteshazzar, tell me the interpretation, because none of the wise men of my kingdom can
interpret it for me. But you are able, because the spirit of the holy gods is in you.”
But hast lifted up
thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have
drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which
see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not
glorified:
Instead, you have
exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. The vessels from His house were brought to you, and as you
drank wine from them with your nobles, wives, and concubines, you praised your gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, which cannot
see or hear or understand. But you have failed to
glorify the God who holds in His hand your very breath and all your ways.
And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had
seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the

furious power.

seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and
sackcloth, and ashes:
So I turned my attention to the Lord God to
seek Him by prayer and petition, with fasting,
sackcloth, and ashes.
O my God,
incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great
mercies.
Incline Your ear, O my God, and hear; open Your eyes and
see the
desolation of the city that bears Your name. For we are not presenting our petitions before You because of our righteous acts, but because of Your great
compassion.
Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man
Gabriel, whom I had
seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening
oblation.

Gabriel, the man I had
seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice.
And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great
quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.

hid themselves.

reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me:
seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also
forget thy children.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also
reject you as My priests. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also
forget your children.
They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.
They go with their flocks and herds to seek the LORD, but they do not find Him; He has withdrawn Himself from them.

seek my face: in their
affliction they will
seek me early.

seek My face; in their
affliction they will earnestly
seek Me.”
And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.
Israel’s
arrogance testifies against them, yet they do not return to the LORD their God;
despite all this, they do not
seek Him.
Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.

seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a
meadow. But Ephraim will bring out his children for slaughter.

fallow ground: for it is time to

unplowed ground. For it is time to
seek the LORD until He comes and sends righteousness upon you like rain.

withered away.

prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will
see visions.

Ashdod and to the citadels of Egypt: “

see the great unrest in the city and the acts of oppression in her midst.”

For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:

quench it in
Bethel.

sweep like fire through the house of Joseph; it will
devour everything, with no one at
Bethel to
extinguish it.

Pleiades and
Orion, who turns darkness into
dawn and darkens day into night, who
summons the waters of the sea and pours them over the face of the earth— the LORD is His name—

Pass ye unto
Calneh, and
see; and from thence go ye to
Hamath the great: then go down to
Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
Cross over to
Calneh and
see; go from there to the great
Hamath; then go down to
Gath of the Philistines. Are you better than these kingdoms? Is their territory larger than yours?
And the LORD said unto me,
Amos, what
seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:

Amos, what do you
see?” asked the LORD. “A
plumb line,” I replied. “Behold,” said the Lord, “I am setting a
plumb line among My people Israel; I will no longer
spare them:

Amos, what
seest thou? And I said, A
basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.

Amos, what do you
see?” He asked. “A
basket of summer fruit,” I replied. So the LORD said to me, “The end has come for My people Israel; I will no longer
spare them.”

plowman will overtake the
reaper and the
treader of grapes, the
sower of
seed. The mountains will

So
Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a
booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might

see what would happen to the city.
Then shall the
seers be
ashamed, and the diviners confounded:
yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.

The LORD’S voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.

Heed the rod and the One who ordained it.
I will bear the
indignation of the LORD, because I have
sinned against him, until he
plead my cause, and
execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
Because I have
sinned against Him, I must
endure the
rage of the LORD, until He argues my case and executes justice for me. He will bring me into the light; I will
see His righteousness.
Then she that is mine enemy shall
see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the LORD thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be
trodden down as the
mire of the streets.
Then my enemy will
see and will be covered with shame— she who said to me, “Where is the LORD your God?” My eyes will
see her; at that time she will be
trampled like mud in the streets.
The nations shall
see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be
deaf.
Nations will
see and be
ashamed, deprived of all their might. They will put their hands over their mouths, and their ears will become
deaf.
The
chariots shall
rage in the streets, they shall
justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall
seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.
