way, and hast made thy beauty to be

appoint thee two
ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both
twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose thou a place, choose it at the head of the
way to the city.
“Now you, son of man, mark out two roads for the sword of the king of Babylon to take, both starting from the same land. And make a
signpost where the road branches off to each city.
Mark out one road for the sword to come against Rabbah of the
Ammonites, and another against Judah into fortified Jerusalem.
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.

indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own
way have I

fury. I have brought their
ways down upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”

ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.

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

wast perfect in thy
ways from the day that thou
wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

ways— until wickedness was found in you.

dost not speak to
warn the wicked from his
way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
If I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ but you do not speak out to
dissuade him from his
way, then that wicked man will die in his iniquity, yet I will hold you accountable for his blood.
Nevertheless, if thou
warn the wicked of his
way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his
way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
But if you
warn the wicked man to turn from his
way, and he does not turn from it, he will die in his iniquity, but you will have saved your life.

Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But I will judge each of you according to his ways, O house of Israel.”
Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they
defiled it by their own
way and by their doings: their
way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.

ways and deeds. Their
behavior before Me was like the uncleanness of a woman’s impurity.

dispersed through the countries: according to their
way and according to their doings I judged them.

ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall
lothe yourselves in your own sight for your
iniquities and for your abominations.

ashamed and confounded for your own
ways, O house of Israel.

ashamed and disgraced for your
ways, O house of Israel!

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.
And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a
way of one
cubit; and their doors toward the north.
In front of the chambers was an inner walkway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors were on the north.
And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they: and all their goings out were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
with a
passageway in front of them, just like the chambers that were on the north. They had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions.
And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door in the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.
And corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south, there was a door in front of the walkway that was parallel to the wall extending eastward.

way of the
porch of that gate, and shall go out by the
way of the same.

gateway to eat in the presence of the LORD. He must enter by
way of the
portico of the
gateway and go out the same
way.”
Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face.
Then the man brought me to the front of the temple by way of the north gate. I looked and saw the glory of the LORD filling His temple, and I fell facedown.

And the prince shall enter by the
way of the
porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the
threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.

way thereof.

portico of the
gateway, and he shall go out the same
way.

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.

trickling out from the south side.

way of Hethlon through Lebo-
hamath to Zedad, Berothah, and Sibraim (which is on the border between Damascus and
Hamath), as far as Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of
Hauran.
Now these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the
way of Hethlon, as one goeth to
Hamath, Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of
Hamath; for these are his sides east and west; a portion for
Dan.
“Now these are the names of the tribes: At the northern frontier,
Dan will have one portion bordering the road of Hethlon to Lebo-
hamath and running on to Hazar-enan on the border of Damascus with
Hamath to the north, and extending from the east side to the west side.
Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing
amiss against the God of
Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a
dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.

extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his
ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to

Nebuchadnezzar, praise and

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.

way.

And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the
way by consent: for they commit

atrocities.
The
watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a
snare of a fowler in all his
ways, and hatred in the house of his God.

swerving from the course.

push the
needy out of their
way. A man and his father have relations with the same
girl and so
profane My holy name.

Dan,’ or, ‘As surely as the
way of

ways and from the violence in his hands.

whirlwind and storm, and clouds are the dust beneath His feet.

ways and deeds, so He has done to us.’”

way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no

wander like sheep,
oppressed for lack of a
shepherd.
