creeping things, and

upon the foreheads of the men that
sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

sighing and
groaning over all the abominations committed there.”

upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.

anyone who has the mark. Now begin at My sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the temple.
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?”

spare, neither will I have
pity, but I will
recompense their way
upon their head.
But as for Me, I will not look on them with
pity, nor will I
spare them. I will bring their deeds down
upon their own heads.”
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 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.

remnant of Israel?

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?”
But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their
detestable things and their abominations, I will
recompense their way
upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.

upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”

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.”
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.
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.

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.

upon him, and he shall be taken in my

snare. I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, and there he will die.
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.
Thus will I
accomplish my wrath
upon the wall, and
upon them that have
daubed it with untempered
morter, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that
daubed it;

vented My wrath against the wall and against those who
whitewashed it, I will say to you: ‘The wall is gone, and so are those who
whitewashed it—
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Woe to the women that
sew pillows to all armholes, and make
kerchiefs upon the head of every
stature to
hunt souls! Will ye
hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?
and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says:
Woe to the women who
sew magic charms on their wrists and make veils for the heads of people of every height, in order to
ensnare their souls. Will you
ensnare the souls of My people but preserve your own?
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.

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,
Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
Or if I bring a sword against that land and say, ‘Let a sword pass through it,’ so that I cut off from it both man and beast,
Or if I send a
pestilence into that land, and pour out my
fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
Or if I send a plague into that land and pour out My wrath
upon it through
bloodshed, cutting off from it both man and beast,
For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four
sore judgments
upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the
noisome beast, and the
pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘How much worse will it be when I send against Jerusalem My four
dire judgments—sword, famine, wild beasts, and plague—in order to cut off from it both man and beast?
Yet, behold, therein shall be left a
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.
None eye
pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have
compassion upon thee; but thou
wast cast out in the open field, to the
lothing of thy person, in the day that thou
wast born.

compassion for you. Instead, you were thrown out into the open field, because you were
despised on the day of your birth.
Now when I passed by thee, and looked
upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my
skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness:
yea, I
sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.
Then I passed by and saw you, and you were indeed old enough for love. So I spread My
cloak over you and covered your nakedness. I
pledged Myself to you, entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine, declares the Lord GOD.
I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
I adorned you with
jewelry, and I put bracelets on your wrists and a chain around your neck.
And I put a
jewel on thy
forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown
upon thine head.
I put a ring in your nose, earrings on your ears, and a beautiful crown upon your head.

renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my
comeliness, which I had put

bloodshed and jealousy.

execute judgments
upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the

hire any more.

execute judgment against you in the sight of many women. I will put an end to your
prostitution, and you will never again pay your lovers.
Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast
fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will
recompense thy way
upon thine head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit this
lewdness above all thine abominations.
Because you did not remember the days of your youth, but
enraged Me with all these things, I will surely bring your deeds down
upon your own head, declares the Lord GOD. Have you not committed this
lewdness on top of all your other abominations?
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.
And I will spread my net
upon him, and he shall be taken in my
snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will
plead with him there for his
trespass that he hath
trespassed against me.

snare. I will bring him to Babylon and
execute judgment
upon him there for the treason he committed against Me.

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.
And hath not eaten
upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath
defiled his neighbour’s wife, neither hath come near to a
menstruous woman,
He does not eat at the mountain or look to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not
defile his
neighbor’s wife or approach a woman during her period.
He that hath not given forth
upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,
He does not
engage in
usury or take excess interest, but he withholds his hand from iniquity and executes true justice between men.
And that doeth not any of those duties, but even hath eaten
upon the mountains, and
defiled his neighbour’s wife,
though the father has done none of them: Indeed, the son eats at the mountain and defiles his
neighbor’s wife.
Hath given forth
upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be
upon him.
He engages in
usury and takes excess interest. Will this son live? He will not! Since he has committed all these abominations, he will surely die; his blood will be on his own head.
That hath not eaten
upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not
defiled his neighbour’s wife,
He does not eat at the mountain or look to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not
defile his
neighbor’s wife.

caged him and brought him to the king of Babylon. They brought him into captivity so that his
roar was heard no longer on the mountains of Israel.
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.
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.
Cry and
howl, son of man: for it shall be
upon my people, it shall be
upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be
upon my people:
smite therefore
upon thy
thigh.
Cry out and
wail, O son of man, for the sword is
wielded against My people; it is against all the princes of Israel! They are
tossed to the sword with My people; therefore strike your
thigh.
Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end.
while they offer false visions for you and lying divinations about you— to be placed on the necks of the wicked who are slain, whose day has come, the time of their final punishment.
And I will pour out mine
indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of
brutish men, and skilful to destroy.

upon you; I will
breathe the fire of My
fury against you; I will hand you over to
brutal men, skilled in destruction.
In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat
upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit
lewdness.
As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire
upon it, to
melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my
fury, and I will leave you there, and
melt you.
Just as one gathers silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin into the furnace to
melt with a
fiery blast, so I will gather you in My anger and wrath, leave you there, and
melt you.
Yea, I will gather you, and blow
upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.
Yes, I will gather you together and blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and you will be melted within the city.
As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my
fury upon you.
As silver is melted in a furnace, so you will be melted within the city. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have poured out My wrath upon you.’”
Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not
cleansed, nor rained
upon in the day of
indignation.
“Son of man, say to her, ‘In the day of
indignation, you are a land that has not been
cleansed,
upon which no rain has fallen.’
Therefore have I poured out mine
indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I
recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.
So I have poured out My
indignation upon them and consumed them with the fire of My
fury. I have brought their ways down
upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”

bruised the breasts of her
virginity, and poured their
whoredom upon her.

upon whom she
doted.
Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, the Assyrians for whom she
lusted.
These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and
slew her with the sword: and she became famous among women; for they had executed judgment
upon her.
They exposed her nakedness, seized her sons and daughters, and put her to the sword. Thus she became a
byword among women, and they executed judgment against her.
She
doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours, captains and rulers clothed most
gorgeously,
horsemen riding
upon horses, all of them desirable young men.
She too
lusted after the Assyrians—governors and commanders, warriors dressed in
splendor,
horsemen riding on steeds, all desirable young men.
And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed
upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with
vermilion,
Girded with girdles
upon their loins, exceeding in
dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of
Chaldea, the land of their
nativity:
wearing belts on their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked like officers of the Babylonians in
Chaldea, the land of their birth.
And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she
doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into
Chaldea.
At the sight of them, she
lusted for them and sent messengers to them in
Chaldea.
For she
doted upon their
paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of
asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and
renowned, all of them riding
