They
hunt our steps,
that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
They
stalked our every step, so
that we could not walk in our streets. Our end drew near, our time ran out, for our end had come!
Rejoice and be
glad, O daughter of
Edom,
that dwellest in the land of
Uz; the cup also shall pass through unto thee: thou shalt be
drunken, and shalt make
thyself naked.
Servants have ruled over us: there is none
that doth deliver us out of their hand.
Slaves rule over us; there is no one to deliver us from their hands.
The crown is fallen from our head:
woe unto us,
that we have
sinned!
The crown has fallen from our head.
Woe to us, for we have
sinned!
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 of
Chebar,
that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
In the
thirtieth year, on the fifth day of the fourth month, while I was among the exiles by the River Kebar, the heavens opened and I saw visions of God.
As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
The form of their faces was that of a man, and each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and also the face of an eagle.
As for their rings, they were so high
that they were
dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four.
Their rims were high and
awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.
And under the
firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on
that side, their bodies.
And under the
expanse, their wings stretched out toward one another. Each one also had two wings covering its body.
And there was a voice from the
firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings.
And there came a voice from above the
expanse over their heads as they stood still with their wings lowered.
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 the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.
Above the
expanse over their heads was the likeness of a throne with the appearance of
sapphire, and on the throne high above was a figure like
that of a man.
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 the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
The appearance of the brilliant light all around Him was like
that of a
rainbow in a cloud on a
rainy day. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell facedown and heard a voice speaking.
And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.
And as He spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and I heard Him speaking to me.
And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a
rebellious nation
that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have
transgressed against me, even unto this very day.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “I am sending you to the Israelites, to a
rebellious nation
that has rebelled against Me. To this very day they and their fathers have rebelled against Me.
And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will
forbear, (for they are a
rebellious house,) yet shall know
that there hath been a prophet among them.
And whether they
listen or refuse to
listen—for they are a
rebellious house—they will know
that a prophet has been among them.
But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou
rebellious like
that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat
that I give thee.
And you, son of man,
listen to what I tell you. Do not be
rebellious like
that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I give you.”
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “eat what you find here. Eat this
scroll, then go and speak to the house of Israel.”
So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
So I opened my mouth, and He fed me the
scroll.
And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy
belly to eat, and fill thy
bowels with this roll
that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “eat and fill your stomach with this
scroll I am giving you.” So I
ate, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
“Son of man,” He added, “
listen carefully to all the words I speak to you, and take them to heart.
I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures
that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a great
rushing.
It was the sound of the wings of the living creatures
brushing against one another and the sound of the wheels beside them, a great
rumbling sound.
Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-
abib,
that dwelt by the river of
Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there
astonished among them seven days.
I came to the exiles at Tel-
abib who dwelt by the River Kebar. And for seven days I sat where they sat and remained there among them,
overwhelmed.
And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
At the end of seven days the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not
warning, nor speakest to
warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
If I say to the wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ but you do not
warn him or speak out to
warn him from his wicked way to save his life,
that wicked man will die in his iniquity, and I will hold you responsible for his blood.
Nevertheless if thou
warn the righteous man,
that the righteous sin not, and he
doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is
warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
But if you
warn the righteous man not to sin, and he does not sin, he will indeed live because he
heeded your
warning, and you will have saved
yourself.”
But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:
And you, son of man, they will
tie with ropes, and you will be bound so
that you cannot go out among the people.
And I will make thy tongue
cleave to the roof of thy mouth,
that thou shalt be
dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a
rebellious house.
I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, and you will be silent and unable to
rebuke them, though they are a
rebellious house.
But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He
that heareth, let him hear; and he
that forbeareth, let him
forbear: for they are a
rebellious house.
But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you are to tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’
Whoever listens, let him
listen; and
whoever refuses, let him refuse, for they are a
rebellious house.
Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
Then take an iron plate and set it up as an iron wall between
yourself and the city. Turn your face toward it so
that it is under siege, and
besiege it. This will be a sign to the house of Israel.
Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.
Then lie down on your left side and place the iniquity of the house of Israel upon
yourself. You are to bear their iniquity for the number of days you lie on your side.
Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and
millet, and
fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days
that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and
ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
But take wheat, barley, beans, lentils,
millet, and
spelt; put them in a single container and make them into bread for
yourself. This is what you are to eat during the 390 days you lie on your side.
And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt
bake it with dung
that cometh out of man, in their sight.
And you shall eat the food as you would a barley
cake, after you
bake it over dried human
excrement in the sight of the people.”
Then said I,
Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been
polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of
that which dieth of itself, or is
torn in pieces; neither came there
abominable flesh into my mouth.
“
Ah, Lord GOD,” I said, “I have never
defiled myself. From my youth until now I have not eaten anything found dead or
mauled by wild beasts. No unclean meat has ever entered my mouth.”
Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow’s dung for man’s dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread
therewith.
“Look,” He replied, “I will let you use cow dung instead of human
excrement, and you may
bake your bread over
that.”
That they may want bread and water, and be
astonied one with another, and
consume away for their iniquity.
So they will lack food and water; they will be
appalled at the sight of one another wasting away in their iniquity.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her.
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘This is Jerusalem, which I have set in the center of the nations, with countries all around her.
And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.
But she has rebelled against My ordinances more wickedly than the nations, and against My statutes worse than the countries around her. For her people have rejected My ordinances and have not walked in My statutes.’
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you;
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You have been more insubordinate than the nations around you; you have not walked in My statutes or kept My ordinances, nor have you even
conformed to the ordinances of the nations around you.’
And I will do in thee
that which I have not done, and
whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.
Because of all your abominations, I will do to you what I have never done before and will never do again.
Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my
fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know
that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my
fury in them.
And when My anger is spent and I have
vented My wrath against them, I will be
appeased. And when I have spent My wrath on them, they will know
that I, the LORD, in My zeal have spoken.
Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
I will make you a ruin and a disgrace among the nations around you, in the sight of all who pass by.
So it shall be a reproach and a
taunt, an instruction and an
astonishment unto the nations
that are round about thee, when I shall
execute judgments in thee in anger and in
fury and in
furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it.
So you will be a reproach and a
taunt, a
warning and a
horror to the nations around you, when I
execute judgments against you in anger, wrath, and
raging fury. I, the LORD, have spoken.
When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:
When I shower you with the deadly arrows of famine and destruction
that I will send to destroy you, I will
intensify the famine against you and cut off your supply of food.
In all your dwellingplaces 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 images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
Wherever you live, the cities will be laid waste and the high places will be
demolished, so
that your altars will be laid waste and
desecrated, your idols
smashed and
obliterated, your incense altars cut down, and your works
blotted out.
And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
The slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am the LORD.
Yet will I leave a
remnant,
that ye may have some
that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.
Yet I will leave a
remnant, for some of you will escape the sword when you are scattered among the nations and throughout the lands.
And they
that escape of you shall remember me among the nations
whither they shall be carried
captives, because I am broken with their
whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a
whoring after their idols: and they shall
lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
Then in the nations to which they have been carried
captive, your survivors will remember Me—how I have been
grieved by their
adulterous hearts
that turned away from Me, and by their eyes
that lusted after idols. So they will
loathe themselves for the evil they have done and for all their abominations.
And they shall know that I am the LORD, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.
And they will know
that I am the LORD; I did not declare in vain
that I would bring this
calamity upon them.
He
that is far off shall die of the
pestilence; and he
that is near shall fall by the sword; and he
that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I
accomplish my
fury upon them.
He who is far off will die by the plague, he who is near will fall by the sword, and he who remains will die by famine. So I will
vent My
fury upon them.
Then shall ye know that I am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols.
Then you will know
that I am the LORD, when their slain lie among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the mountaintops, and under every green tree and
leafy oak—the places where they offered
fragrant incense to all their idols.
So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land
desolate,
yea, more
desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know
that I am the LORD.
I will stretch out My hand against them, and wherever they live I will make the land a
desolate waste, from the wilderness to Diblah. Then they will know
that I am the LORD.’”
And mine eye shall not
spare thee, neither will I have
pity: but I will
recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know
that I am the LORD.
I will not look on you with
pity, nor will I
spare you, but I will
punish you for your ways and for the abominations among you. Then you will know
that I am the LORD.’
The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.
Doom has come to you, O inhabitants of the land. The time has come; the day is near; there is
panic on the mountains instead of shouts of joy.
And mine eye shall not
spare, neither will I have
pity: I will
recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations
that are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know
that I am the LORD
that smiteth.
I will not look on you with
pity, nor will I
spare you, but I will
punish you for your ways and for the abominations among you. Then you will know
that it is I, the LORD, who strikes the blow.
For the seller shall not return to
that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any
strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
The seller will surely not recover what he sold while both remain alive. For the vision concerning the whole multitude will not be
revoked, and because of their iniquity, not one of them will preserve his life.
The sword is without, and the
pestilence and the famine within: he
that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he
that is in the city, famine and
pestilence shall
devour him.
The sword is outside; plague and famine are within. Those in the country will die by the sword, and those in the city will be
devoured by famine and plague.
But they
that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them
mourning, every one for his iniquity.
The survivors will escape and live in the mountains,
moaning like doves of the valley, each for his own iniquity.
They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their
bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will seem unclean. Their silver and gold cannot save them in the day of the wrath of the LORD. They cannot satisfy their appetites or fill their stomachs with wealth, for it became the
stumbling block
that brought their iniquity.
The king shall
mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with
desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know
that I am the LORD.
The king will
mourn, the prince will be clothed with
despair, and the hands of the people of the land will
tremble. I will deal with them according to their conduct, and I will judge them by their own standards. Then they will know
that I am the LORD.’”
And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me.
In the sixth year, on the fifth day of the sixth month, I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me; and there the hand of the Lord GOD fell upon me.
Then I
beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even
downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of
amber.
Then I looked and saw a figure like
that of a man. From His
waist down His appearance was like fire, and from His
waist up He was as bright as the
gleam of
amber.
And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a
lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate
that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
He stretched out what looked like a hand and took me by the hair of my head. Then the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and carried me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court, where the
idol that provokes jealousy was seated.
And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
And there I saw the glory of the God of Israel, like the vision I had seen in the plain.
He said
furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations
that the house of Israel committeth here,
that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see what they are doing—the great abominations
that the house of Israel is
committing—to drive Me far from My sanctuary? Yet you will see even greater abominations.”
And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.
Then He said to me, “Go in and see the wicked abominations they are
committing here.”
He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
Again, He told me, “You will see them
committing even greater abominations.”
Then he said unto me, Hast 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 returned to
provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see this? Is it not enough for the house of Judah to commit the abominations they are practicing here,
that they must also fill the land with violence and continually
provoke Me to anger? Look, they are even putting the branch to their nose!
He
cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them
that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
Then I heard Him call out in a loud voice, saying, “Draw near, O executioners of the city, each with a weapon of destruction in hand.”
And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men
that sigh and
that cry for all the abominations
that be done in the midst thereof.
“Go throughout the city of Jerusalem,” said the LORD, “and put a mark on the foreheads of the men
sighing and
groaning over all the abominations committed there.”
And it came to pass, while they were
slaying them, and I was left,
that I fell upon my face, and
cried, and said,
Ah Lord GOD!
wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy
fury upon Jerusalem?
While they were killing, I was left alone. And I fell facedown and
cried out, “Oh, Lord GOD, when You pour out Your wrath on Jerusalem, will You destroy the entire
remnant of Israel?”
Then I looked, and, behold, in the
firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a
sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
When the LORD commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from within the
wheelwork, from among the
cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.
And one
cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire
that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him
that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.
Then one of the
cherubim reached out his hand and took some of the fire
that was among them. And he put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who received it and went out.
When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place
whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.
When they moved, they would go in any of the four directions, without turning as they moved. For wherever the head faced, the
cherubim would go in
that direction, without turning as they moved.
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 they four had.
Their entire bodies, including their backs, hands, and wings, were full of eyes all around, as were their four wheels.
And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a
cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
Each of the
cherubim had four faces: the first face was
that of a
cherub, the second
that of a man, the third
that of a lion, and the fourth
that of an eagle.
And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature
that I saw by the river of
Chebar.
Then the
cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures I had seen by the River Kebar.
This is the living creature
that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of
Chebar; and I knew
that they were the cherubims.
These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the River Kebar, and I knew
that they were
cherubim.
Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD’S house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, the princes of the people.
Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the house of the LORD that faces east. And there at the entrance of the gate were twenty-five men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, who were leaders of the people.
Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men
that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:
And the LORD said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and give wicked counsel in this city.
And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.
And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me and told me to declare that this is what the LORD says: “That is what you are thinking, O house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your minds.
Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
You will fall by the sword, and I will judge you even to the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
And ye shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are round about you.
Then you will know
that I am the LORD. For you have neither followed My statutes nor practiced My ordinances, but you have
conformed to the ordinances of the nations around you.”
And it came to pass, when I
prophesied,
that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and
cried with a loud voice, and said,
Ah Lord GOD!
wilt thou make a full end of the
remnant of Israel?
Now as I was
prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell facedown and
cried out in a loud voice, “Oh, Lord GOD, will You bring the
remnant of Israel to a complete end?”
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.
Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for a little while I have been a sanctuary for them in the countries to which they have gone.’
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and
assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
Therefore declare
that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will gather you from the peoples and
assemble you from the countries to which you have been scattered, and I will give back to you the land of Israel.’
That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
so that they may follow My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God.
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,
Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shewed me.
I told the exiles everything the LORD had shown me.
Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.
Bring out your
baggage for exile by day, as they watch. Then in the evening, as they watch, go out like those who go into exile.
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.
And as they watch, lift your bags to your shoulder and take them out at
dusk; cover your face so
that you cannot see the land. For I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.”
Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.
Tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are there.’
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.
And I will
scatter toward every wind all
that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.
And I will
scatter to every wind all the attendants around him and all his troops, and I will draw a sword to
chase after them.
And they shall know
that I am the LORD, when I shall
scatter them among the nations, and
disperse them in the countries.
And they will know
that I am the LORD, when I
disperse them among the nations and
scatter them throughout the countries.
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 heathen
whither they come; and they shall know
that I am the LORD.
But I will
spare a few of them from sword and famine and plague, so
that in the nations to which they go, they can recount all their abominations. Then they will know
that I am the LORD.”
And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with
astonishment,
that her land may be
desolate from all
that is therein, because of the violence of all them
that dwell therein.
Then tell the people of the land
that this is what the Lord GOD says about those living in Jerusalem and in the land of Israel: ‘They will eat their bread with
anxiety and drink their water in
dread, for their land will be
stripped of everything in it because of the violence of all who dwell in it.
And the cities
that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be
desolate; and ye shall know
that I am the LORD.
The inhabited cities will be laid waste, and the land will become
desolate. Then you will know
that I am the LORD.’”
Son of man, what is
that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
“Son of man, what is this
proverb that you have in the land of Israel: ‘The days go by, and every vision fails’?
Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this
proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a
proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
Therefore tell them
that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will put an end to this
proverb, and in Israel they will no longer
recite it.’ But say to them: ‘The days are at hand when every vision will be fulfilled.
For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word
that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O
rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.
because I, the LORD, will speak whatever word I speak, and it will be fulfilled without delay. For in your days, O
rebellious house, I will speak a message and bring it to pass, declares the Lord GOD.’”
