hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and
scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.
And the LORD said to the man clothed in linen, “Go inside the
wheelwork beneath the
cherubim. Fill your
hands with burning coals from among the
cherubim and
scatter them over the city.” And as I watched, he went in.
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.
And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man’s hand under their wings.
(The
cherubim appeared to have the form of human
hands under their wings.)
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.
Every one had four faces
apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the
hands of a man was under their wings.
Each had four faces and four wings, with what looked like human hands under their wings.
And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the
hands of strangers, and will
execute judgments among you.
I will bring you out of the city and deliver you into the
hands of foreigners, and I will
execute judgments against you.
And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I
digged through the wall with mine
hand; I brought it forth in the
twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.
So I did as I was commanded. I brought out my bags for exile by day, and in the evening I
dug through the wall by
hand. I took my belongings out at
dusk, carrying them on my shoulder as they watched.
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.
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.
And will ye
pollute me among my people for
handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to
slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?
You have
profaned Me among My people for
handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. By lying to My people who would
listen, you have killed those who should not have died and
spared those who should not have lived.
Your
kerchiefs also will I
tear, and deliver my people out of your
hand, and they shall be no more in your
hand to be
hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
I will also
tear off your veils and deliver My people from your
hands, so that they will no longer be prey in your
hands. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous
sad, whom I have not made
sad; and strengthened the
hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:
Because you have
disheartened the righteous with your lies, even though I have caused them no grief, and because you have encouraged the wicked not to turn from their evil ways to save their lives,
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.”
And if the prophet be
deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have
deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my
hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
But if the prophet is
enticed to speak a message, then it was I the LORD who
enticed him, and I will stretch out My
hand against him and destroy him from among My people Israel.
Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by
trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine
hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:
“Son of man, if a land sins against Me by acting unfaithfully, and I stretch out My hand against it to cut off its supply of food, to send famine upon it, and to cut off from it both man and beast,
Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to
hang any vessel
thereon?
Can wood be taken from it to make something useful? Or can one make from it a
peg on which to
hang utensils?
