The Book of Ezekiel of the Christian Holy Bible

Ezekiel 1:1 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. 

Ezekiel 1:2 In  the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of  king Jehoiachin’s captivity, 

Ezekiel 1:3 The word of the LORD  came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in  the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand  of the LORD was there upon him. 

Ezekiel 1:4 And I looked, and,  behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud,  and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it,  and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of  the midst of the fire. 

Ezekiel 1:5 Also out of the midst thereof  came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was  their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. 

Ezekiel 1:6 And  every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.  

Ezekiel 1:7 And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of  their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot: and they  sparkled like the colour of burnished brass. 

Ezekiel 1:8 And they  had the hands of a man under their wings on their four  sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. 

Ezekiel 1:9  Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not  when they went; they went every one straight forward.  

Ezekiel 1:10 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. 

Ezekiel 1:11 Thus were their  faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings  of every one were joined one to another, and two covered  their bodies. 

Ezekiel 1:12 And they went every one straight  forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they  turned not when they went. 

Ezekiel 1:13 As for the likeness of the  living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals  of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and  down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright,  and out of the fire went forth lightning. 

Ezekiel 1:14 And the  living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a  flash of lightning.  

Ezekiel 1:15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one  wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four  faces. 

Ezekiel 1:16 The appearance of the wheels and their work  was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one  likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were  a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 

Ezekiel 1:17 When they went,  they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when  they went. 

Ezekiel 1:18 As for their rings, they were so high that  they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round  about them four. 

Ezekiel 1:19 And when the living creatures  went, the wheels went by them: and when the living  creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were  lifted up. 

Ezekiel 1:20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they  went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were  lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living  creature was in the wheels. 

Ezekiel 1:21 When those went,  these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when  those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted  up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature  was in the wheels. 

Ezekiel 1:22 And the likeness of the  firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the  colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads  above. 

Ezekiel 1:23 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. 

Ezekiel 1:24 And when they went, I  heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters,  as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the  noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their  wings. 

Ezekiel 1:25 And there was a voice from the firmament  that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let  down their wings.   

Ezekiel 1:26 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. 

Ezekiel 1:27  And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire  round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even  upward, and from the appearance of his loins even  downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it  had brightness round about. 

Ezekiel 1:28 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.  

Ezekiel 2:1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy  feet, and I will speak unto thee. 

Ezekiel 2:2 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. 

Ezekiel 2:3 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. 

Ezekiel 2:4 For they are impudent children and  stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say  unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD. 

Ezekiel 2:5 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.  

Ezekiel 2:6 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither  be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with  thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of  their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be  a rebellious house. 

Ezekiel 2:7 And thou shalt speak my words  unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will  forbear: for they are most rebellious. 

Ezekiel 2:8 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.  

Ezekiel 2:9 And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto  me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein; 

Ezekiel 2:10 And he  spread it before me; and it was written within and without:  and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning,  and woe.  

Ezekiel 3:1 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that  thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of  Israel. 

Ezekiel 3:2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to  eat that roll. 

Ezekiel 3:3 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.  

Ezekiel 3:4 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto  the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.  

Ezekiel 3:5 For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech  and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel; 

Ezekiel 3:6  Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard  language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely,  had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto  thee. 

Ezekiel 3:7 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto  thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of  Israel are impudent and hardhearted. 

Ezekiel 3:8 Behold, I have  made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead  strong against their foreheads. 

Ezekiel 3:9 As an adamant harder  than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither  be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious  house. 

Ezekiel 3:10 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. 

Ezekiel 3:11 And go, get thee to them of  the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak  unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether  they will hear, or whether they will forbear. 

Ezekiel 3:12 Then  the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a  great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the LORD  from his place. 

Ezekiel 3:13 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. 

Ezekiel 3:14 So the spirit lifted me up, and took me  away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but  the hand of the LORD was strong upon me.   

Ezekiel 3:15 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.  

Ezekiel 3:16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the  word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 

Ezekiel 3:17 Son of  man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel:  therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them  warning from me. 

Ezekiel 3:18 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. 

Ezekiel 3:19 Yet if thou  warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor  from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou  hast delivered thy soul. 

Ezekiel 3:20 Again, When a righteous  man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit  iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die:  because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his  sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be  remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.  

Ezekiel 3:21 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.  

Ezekiel 3:22 And the hand of the LORD was there upon me;  and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will  there talk with thee. 

Ezekiel 3:23 Then I arose, and went forth  into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood  there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I  fell on my face. 

Ezekiel 3:24 Then the spirit entered into me, and  set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me,  Go, shut thyself within thine house. 

Ezekiel 3:25 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:  

Ezekiel 3:26 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. 

Ezekiel 3:27 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.  

Ezekiel 4:1 Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it  before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, even Jerusalem:  

Ezekiel 4:2 And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it,  and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and  set battering rams against it round about. 

Ezekiel 4:3 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. 

Ezekiel 4:4 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. 

Ezekiel 4:5 For I  have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to  the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so  shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. 

Ezekiel 4:6 And  when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right  side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah  forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year. 

Ezekiel 4:7  Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of  Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou  shalt prophesy against it. 

Ezekiel 4:8 And, behold, I will lay  bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side  to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.   

Ezekiel 4:9 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. 

Ezekiel 4:10 And  thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty  shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it. 

Ezekiel 4:11  Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an  hin: from time to time shalt thou drink. 

Ezekiel 4:12 And thou  shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with  dung that cometh out of man, in their sight. 

Ezekiel 4:13 And the  LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their  defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.  

Ezekiel 4:14 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. 

Ezekiel 4:15  Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow’s dung for  man’s dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.  

Ezekiel 4:16 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I  will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat  bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water  by measure, and with astonishment: 

Ezekiel 4:17 That they may  want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and  consume away for their iniquity.  

Ezekiel 5:1 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take  thee a barber’s razor, and cause it to pass upon thine head  and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and  divide the hair. 

Ezekiel 5:2 Thou shalt burn with fire a third part  in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are  fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, and smite about it  with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind;  and I will draw out a sword after them. 

Ezekiel 5:3 Thou shalt  also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy  skirts. 

Ezekiel 5:4 Then take of them again, and cast them into the  midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof  shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.  

Ezekiel 5:5 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. 

Ezekiel 5:6 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. 

Ezekiel 5:7 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; 

Ezekiel 5:8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute  judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.   

Ezekiel 5:9 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. 

Ezekiel 5:10 Therefore the fathers shall eat  the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their  fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole  remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds. 

Ezekiel 5:11  Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because  thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable  things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also  diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I  have any pity.  

Ezekiel 5:12 A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence,  and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of  thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about  thee and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I  will draw out a sword after them. 

Ezekiel 5:13 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. 

Ezekiel 5:14 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.  

Ezekiel 5:15 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.  

Ezekiel 5:16 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: 

Ezekiel 5:17 So will  I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall  bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through  thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have  spoken it.  

Ezekiel 6:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,   

Ezekiel 6:2 Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of  Israel, and prophesy against them, 

Ezekiel 6:3 And say, Ye  mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus  saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the  rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, even I, will bring a  sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places. 

Ezekiel 6:4  And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be  broken: and I will cast down your slain men before your  idols. 

Ezekiel 6:5 And I will lay the dead carcases of the children  of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones  round about your altars. 

Ezekiel 6:6 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.  

Ezekiel 6:7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye  shall know that I am the LORD.  

Ezekiel 6:8 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. 

Ezekiel 6:9 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. 

Ezekiel 6:10 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.  

Ezekiel 6:11 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Smite with thine hand,  and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil  abominations of the house of Israel! for they shall fall by  the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. 

Ezekiel 6:12 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. 

Ezekiel 6:13 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. 

Ezekiel 6:14 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.  

Ezekiel 7:1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 7:2 Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord  GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon  the four corners of the land. 

Ezekiel 7:3 Now is the end come  upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will  judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon  thee all thine abominations. 

Ezekiel 7:4 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.  

Ezekiel 7:5 Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil,  behold, is come. 

Ezekiel 7:6 An end is come, the end is come: it  watcheth for thee; behold, it is come. 

Ezekiel 7:7 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. 

Ezekiel 7:8 Now will I shortly pour out  my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee:  and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will  recompense thee for all thine abominations. 

Ezekiel 7:9 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. 

Ezekiel 7:10 Behold the  day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod  hath blossomed, pride hath budded. 

Ezekiel 7:11 Violence is risen  up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain,  nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall  there be wailing for them. 

Ezekiel 7:12 The time is come, the  day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller  mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof. 

Ezekiel 7:13  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. 

Ezekiel 7:14 They  have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none  goeth to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude  thereof. 

Ezekiel 7:15 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.  

Ezekiel 7:16 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. 

Ezekiel 7:17 All hands  shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.  

Ezekiel 7:18 They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth,  and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all  faces, and baldness upon all their heads. 

Ezekiel 7:19 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    

Ezekiel Page 486   the stumblingblock of their iniquity.   

Ezekiel 7:20 As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in  majesty: but they made the images of their abominations  and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set  it far from them. 

Ezekiel 7:21 And I will give it into the hands of  the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a  spoil; and they shall pollute it. 

Ezekiel 7:22 My face will I turn  also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for  the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.  

Ezekiel 7:23 Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes,  and the city is full of violence. 

Ezekiel 7:24 Wherefore I will  bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their  houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease;  and their holy places shall be defiled. 

Ezekiel 7:25 Destruction  cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.  

Ezekiel 7:26 Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour  shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the  prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and  counsel from the ancients. 

Ezekiel 7:27 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.  

Ezekiel 8:1 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. 

Ezekiel 8:2 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. 

Ezekiel 8:3 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.  

Ezekiel 8:4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was  there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.  

Ezekiel 8:5 Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes  now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the  way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of  the altar this image of jealousy in the entry. 

Ezekiel 8:6 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.  

Ezekiel 8:7 And he brought me to the door of the court; and  when I looked, behold a hole in the wall. 

Ezekiel 8:8 Then said he  unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had  digged in the wall, behold a door. 

Ezekiel 8:9 And he said unto  me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do  here. 

Ezekiel 8:10 So I went in and saw; and behold every form  of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols  of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round  about. 

Ezekiel 8:11 And there stood before them seventy men of  the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them  stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his  censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.  

Ezekiel 8:12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen  what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every  man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The  LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.  

Ezekiel 8:13 He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and  thou shalt see greater abominations that they do. 

Ezekiel 8:14  Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’S  house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat  women weeping for Tammuz.  

Ezekiel 8:15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son  of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater  abominations than these. 

Ezekiel 8:16 And he brought me into the  inner court of the LORD’S house, and, behold, at the door  of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar,  were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward  the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east;  and they worshipped the sun toward the east.  

Ezekiel 8:17 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. 

Ezekiel 8:18 Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye  shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry  in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.  

Ezekiel 9:1 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.  

Ezekiel 9:2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the  higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a  slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them  was clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side:  and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar. 

Ezekiel 9:3  And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the  cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house.  And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had  the writer’s inkhorn by his side; 

Ezekiel 9:4 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.  

Ezekiel 9:5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye  after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare,  neither have ye pity: 

Ezekiel 9:6 Slay utterly old and young,  both maids, and little children, and women: but come not  near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my  sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were  before the house. 

Ezekiel 9:7 And he said unto them, Defile the  house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And  they went forth, and slew in the city.  

Ezekiel 9:8 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? 

Ezekiel 9:9 Then  said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and  Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and  the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath  forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not. 

Ezekiel 9:10 And as  for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have  pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.  

Ezekiel 9:11 And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which  had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I  have done as thou hast commanded me.  

Ezekiel 10:1 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. 

Ezekiel 10:2 And he spake unto the manclothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels,  even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of  fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over  the city. And he went in in my sight. 

Ezekiel 10:3 Now the  cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the  man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court. 

Ezekiel 10:4  Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and  stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was  filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness  of the LORD’S glory. 

Ezekiel 10:5 And the sound of the  cherubims’ wings was heard even to the outer court, as the  voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh. 

Ezekiel 10:6 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. 

Ezekiel 10:7 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.   

Ezekiel 10:8 And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a  man’s hand under their wings. 

Ezekiel 10:9 And when I looked,  behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one  cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the  appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl  stone. 

Ezekiel 10:10 And as for their appearances, they four had  one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.  

Ezekiel 10:11 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.  

Ezekiel 10:12 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. 

Ezekiel 10:13  As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O  wheel. 

Ezekiel 10:14 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. 

Ezekiel 10:15 And the cherubims were lifted  up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of  Chebar. 

Ezekiel 10:16 And when the cherubims went, the wheels  went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings  to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not  from beside them. 

Ezekiel 10:17 When they stood, these stood;  and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves  also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.  

Ezekiel 10:18 Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the  threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.  

Ezekiel 10:19 And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and  mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out,  the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at  the door of the east gate of the LORD’S house; and the  glory of the God of Israel was over them above. 

Ezekiel 10:20  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. 

Ezekiel 10:21 Every one had four faces apiece,  and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a  man was under their wings. 

Ezekiel 10:22 And the likeness of  their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of  Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every  one straight forward.  

Ezekiel 11:1 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.  

Ezekiel 11:2 Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the  men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this  city: 

Ezekiel 11:3 Which say, It is not near; let us build houses:  this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh.   

Ezekiel 11:4 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son  of man. 

Ezekiel 11:5 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. 

Ezekiel 11:6 Ye have  multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the  streets thereof with the slain. 

Ezekiel 11:7 Therefore thus saith  the Lord GOD; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst  of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I  will bring you forth out of the midst of it. 

Ezekiel 11:8 Ye have  feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith  the Lord GOD. 

Ezekiel 11:9 And I will bring you out of the midst  thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will  execute judgments among you. 

Ezekiel 11:10 Ye shall fall by the  sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall  know that I am the LORD. 

Ezekiel 11:11 This city shall not be  your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst  thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel:  

Ezekiel 11:12 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.  

Ezekiel 11:13 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? 

Ezekiel 11:14  Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,  

Ezekiel 11:15 Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the  men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are  they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get  you far from the LORD: unto us is this land given in  possession. 

Ezekiel 11:16 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. 

Ezekiel 11:17 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. 

Ezekiel 11:18 And they shall  come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable  things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.  

Ezekiel 11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a  new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of  their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: 

Ezekiel 11:20  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. 

Ezekiel 11:21 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.  

Ezekiel 11:22 Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and  the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel  was over them above. 

Ezekiel 11:23 And the glory of the LORD  went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the  mountain which is on the east side of the city.  

Ezekiel 11:24 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.  

Ezekiel 11:25 Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the  things that the LORD had shewed me.  

Ezekiel 12:1 The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,  

Ezekiel 12:2 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. 

Ezekiel 12:3 Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee  stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and  thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their  sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a  rebellious house. 

Ezekiel 12:4 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. 

Ezekiel 12:5 Dig thou through the wall in their sight,  and carry out thereby. 

Ezekiel 12:6 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. 

Ezekiel 12:7 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.   

Ezekiel 12:8 And in the morning came the word of the LORD  unto me, saying, 

Ezekiel 12:9 Son of man, hath not the house of  Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest  thou? 

Ezekiel 12:10 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. 

Ezekiel 12:11  Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done  unto them: they shall remove and go into captivity.  

Ezekiel 12:12 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.  

Ezekiel 12:13 My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be  taken in my 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. 

Ezekiel 12:14 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. 

Ezekiel 12:15 And they  shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them  among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.  

Ezekiel 12:16 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.  

Ezekiel 12:17 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 12:18 Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking,  and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness;  

Ezekiel 12:19 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. 

Ezekiel 12:20 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.  

Ezekiel 12:21 And the word of the LORD came unto me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 12:22 Son of man, what is that proverb that ye  have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged,  and every vision faileth? 

Ezekiel 12:23 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.  

Ezekiel 12:24 For there shall be no more any vain vision nor  flattering divination within the house of Israel. 

Ezekiel 12:25 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.   

Ezekiel 12:26 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,  

Ezekiel 12:27 Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel  say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come,  and he prophesieth of the times that are far off. 

Ezekiel 12:28  Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There  shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the  word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord  GOD.  

Ezekiel 13:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,  

Ezekiel 13:2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel  that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of  their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD; 

Ezekiel 13:3  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets,  that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! 

Ezekiel 13:4  O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.  

Ezekiel 13:5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up  the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the  day of the LORD. 

Ezekiel 13:6 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. 

Ezekiel 13:7 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?  

Ezekiel 13:8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye  have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am  against you, saith the Lord GOD. 

Ezekiel 13:9 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.  

Ezekiel 13:10 Because, even because they have seduced my  people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one  built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered  morter: 

Ezekiel 13:11 Say unto them which daub it with  untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an  overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall;  and a stormy wind shall rend it. 

Ezekiel 13:12 Lo, when the  wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the  daubing wherewith ye have daubed it? 

Ezekiel 13:13 Therefore  thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy  wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower  in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume  it. 

Ezekiel 13:14 So will I break down the wall that ye have  daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the  ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered,  and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst  thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 

Ezekiel 13:15  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; 

Ezekiel 13:16 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.  

Ezekiel 13:17 Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against  the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their  own heart; and prophesy thou against them, 

Ezekiel 13:18 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? 

Ezekiel 13:19 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?   

Ezekiel 13:20 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. 

Ezekiel 13:21 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. 

Ezekiel 13:22 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: 

Ezekiel 13:23  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.  

Ezekiel 14:1 Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me,  and sat before me. 

Ezekiel 14:2 And the word of the LORD came  unto me, saying, 

Ezekiel 14:3 Son of man, these men have set up  their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their  iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by  them? 

Ezekiel 14:4 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto  them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of  Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the  stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh  to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh  according to the multitude of his idols; 

Ezekiel 14:5 That I may  take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are  all estranged from me through their idols.  

Ezekiel 14:6 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith  the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your  idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.  

Ezekiel 14:7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the  stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself  from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the  stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh  to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD  will answer him by myself: 

Ezekiel 14:8 And I will set my face  against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb,  and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye  shall know that I am the LORD. 

Ezekiel 14:9 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. 

Ezekiel 14:10 And they shall bear the punishment of their  iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the  punishment of him that seeketh unto him; 

Ezekiel 14:11 That  the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither  be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that  they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the  Lord GOD.  

Ezekiel 14:12 The word of the LORD came again to me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 14:13 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: 

Ezekiel 14:14 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and  Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by  their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.  

Ezekiel 14:15 If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the  land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man  may pass through because of the beasts: 

Ezekiel 14:16 Though  these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD,  they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall  be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.  

Ezekiel 14:17 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: 

Ezekiel 14:18 Though these three men were in it, as I  live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor  daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.  

Ezekiel 14:19 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: 

Ezekiel 14:20 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it,  as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither  son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by  their righteousness. 

Ezekiel 14:21 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?  

Ezekiel 14:22 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. 

Ezekiel 14:23 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.  

Ezekiel 15:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,  

Ezekiel 15:2 Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any  tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the  forest? 

Ezekiel 15:3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work?  or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?  

Ezekiel 15:4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire  devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned.  Is it meet for any work? 

Ezekiel 15:5 Behold, when it was  whole, it was meet for no work: how much less shall it be  meet yet for any work, when the fire hath devoured it, and  it is burned?  

Ezekiel 15:6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As the vine  tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the  fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.  

Ezekiel 15:7 And I will set my face against them; they shall go  out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them;  and ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I set my face  against them. 

Ezekiel 15:8 And I will make the land desolate,  because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord  GOD.  

Ezekiel 16:1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 16:2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her  abominations, 

Ezekiel 16:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD  unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of  Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an  Hittite. 

Ezekiel 16:4 And as for thy nativity, in the day thou  wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed  in water to supple thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor  swaddled at all. 

Ezekiel 16:5 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.  

Ezekiel 16:6 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted  in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy  blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy  blood, Live. 

Ezekiel 16:7 I have caused thee to multiply as the  bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great,  and thou art come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are  fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast  naked and bare. 

Ezekiel 16:8 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. 

Ezekiel 16:9  Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed  away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.   

Ezekiel 16:10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod  thee with badgers’ skin, and I girded thee about with fine  linen, and I covered thee with silk. 

Ezekiel 16:11 I decked thee  also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and  a chain on thy neck. 

Ezekiel 16:12 And I put a jewel on thy  forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown  upon thine head. 

Ezekiel 16:13 Thus wast thou decked with gold  and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and  broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil:  and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper  into a kingdom. 

Ezekiel 16:14 And thy renown went forth among  the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my  comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.  

Ezekiel 16:15 But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and  playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out  thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.  

Ezekiel 16:16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst  thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot  thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it  be so. 

Ezekiel 16:17 Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my  gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to  thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with  them, 

Ezekiel 16:18 And tookest thy broidered garments, and  coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense  before them. 

Ezekiel 16:19 My meat also which I gave thee, fine  flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast  even set it before them for a sweet savour: and thus it was,  saith the Lord GOD. 

Ezekiel 16:20 Moreover thou hast taken thy  sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and  these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Is this  of thy whoredoms a small matter, 

Ezekiel 16:21 That thou hast  slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass  through the fire for them? 

Ezekiel 16:22 And in all thine  abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered  the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and  wast polluted in thy blood. 

Ezekiel 16:23 And it came to pass  after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord  GOD;) 

Ezekiel 16:24 That thou hast also built unto thee an  eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every  street. 

Ezekiel 16:25 Thou hast built thy high place at every head  of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and  hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and  multiplied thy whoredoms. 

Ezekiel 16:26 Thou hast also  committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours,  great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to  provoke me to anger. 

Ezekiel 16:27 Behold, therefore I have  stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine  ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will of them  that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are  ashamed of thy lewd way. 

Ezekiel 16:28 Thou hast played the  whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast  unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and  yet couldest not be satisfied. 

Ezekiel 16:29 Thou hast moreover  multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto  Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith. 

Ezekiel 16:30  How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou  doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish  woman; 

Ezekiel 16:31 In that thou buildest thine eminent place in  the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every  street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest  hire; 

Ezekiel 16:32 But as a wife that committeth adultery,  which taketh strangers instead of her husband! 

Ezekiel 16:33  They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all  thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on  every side for thy whoredom. 

Ezekiel 16:34 And the contrary is  in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas  none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou  givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore  thou art contrary.   

Ezekiel 16:35 Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:  

Ezekiel 16:36 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness  was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy  whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy  abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou  didst give unto them; 

Ezekiel 16:37 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. 

Ezekiel 16:38 And I will judge thee, as  women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I  will give thee blood in fury and jealousy. 

Ezekiel 16:39 And I  will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw  down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high  places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall  take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare. 

Ezekiel 16:40  They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they  shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with  their swords. 

Ezekiel 16:41 And they shall burn thine houses with  fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many  women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the  harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more. 

Ezekiel 16:42  So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy  shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no  more angry. 

Ezekiel 16:43 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.  

Ezekiel 16:44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use  this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is  her daughter. 

Ezekiel 16:45 Thou art thy mother’s daughter, that  lotheth her husband and her children; and thou art the  sister of thy sisters, which lothed their husbands and their  children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an  Amorite. 

Ezekiel 16:46 And thine elder sister is Samaria, she  and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy  younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom  and her daughters. 

Ezekiel 16:47 Yet hast thou not walked after  their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that  were a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than  they in all thy ways. 

Ezekiel 16:48 As I live, saith the Lord  GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her  daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.  

Ezekiel 16:49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom,  pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in  her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand  of the poor and needy. 

Ezekiel 16:50 And they were haughty, and  committed abomination before me: therefore I took them  away as I saw good. 

Ezekiel 16:51 Neither hath Samaria  committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine  abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters  in all thine abominations which thou hast done. 

Ezekiel 16:52  Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own  shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more  abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou:  yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that  thou hast justified thy sisters. 

Ezekiel 16:53 When I shall bring  again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her  daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters,    Page 491 

Ezekiel   then will I bring again the captivity of thy captives in the  midst of them: 

Ezekiel 16:54 That thou mayest bear thine own  shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done,  in that thou art a comfort unto them. 

Ezekiel 16:55 When thy  sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their  former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to  their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return  to your former estate. 

Ezekiel 16:56 For thy sister Sodom was not  mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride, 

Ezekiel 16:57  Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of  thy reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are  round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which  despise thee round about. 

Ezekiel 16:58 Thou hast borne thy  lewdness and thine abominations, saith the LORD. 

Ezekiel 16:59  For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as  thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the  covenant.   

Ezekiel 16:60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with  thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee  an everlasting covenant. 

Ezekiel 16:61 Then thou shalt remember  thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy  sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them  unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant. 

Ezekiel 16:62  And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt  know that I am the LORD: 

Ezekiel 16:63 That thou mayest  remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth  any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward  thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.  

Ezekiel 17:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,  

Ezekiel 17:2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable  unto the house of Israel; 

Ezekiel 17:3 And say, Thus saith the  Lord GOD; A great eagle with great wings, longwinged,  full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto  Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar: 

Ezekiel 17:4  He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it  into a land of traffick; he set it in a city of merchants.  

Ezekiel 17:5 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in  a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it  as a willow tree. 

Ezekiel 17:6 And it grew, and became a  spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned  toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it  became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth  sprigs. 

Ezekiel 17:7 There was also another great eagle with great  wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend  her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward  him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation.  

Ezekiel 17:8 It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it  might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that  it might be a goodly vine. 

Ezekiel 17:9 Say thou, Thus saith the  Lord GOD; Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots  thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? it shall  wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great  power or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof.  

Ezekiel 17:10 Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall  it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall  wither in the furrows where it grew.  

Ezekiel 17:11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 17:12 Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye  not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king  of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the king  thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to  Babylon; 

Ezekiel 17:13 And hath taken of the king’s seed, and  made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him:  he hath also taken the mighty of the land: 

Ezekiel 17:14 That the  kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but  that by keeping of his covenant it might stand. 

Ezekiel 17:15 But  he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into  Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people.  Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things?  or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered? 

Ezekiel 17:16  As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place where  the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he  despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in  the midst of Babylon he shall die. 

Ezekiel 17:17 Neither shall  Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company make  for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts,  to cut off many persons: 

Ezekiel 17:18 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.   

Ezekiel 17:19 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. 

Ezekiel 17:20 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. 

Ezekiel 17:21 And all his fugitives with all  his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall  be scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know that I the  LORD have spoken it.  

Ezekiel 17:22 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the  highest branch of the high 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: 

Ezekiel 17:23 In  the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it  shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly  cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the  shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell. 

Ezekiel 17:24  And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD  have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree,  have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to  flourish: I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have  exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have  made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and  have done it.   

Ezekiel 18:1 The word of the LORD came unto me again,  saying, 

Ezekiel 18:2 What mean ye, that ye use this proverb  concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten  sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge? 

Ezekiel 18:3  As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have  occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel. 

Ezekiel 18:4  Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also  the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.   

Ezekiel 18:5 But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful  and right, 

Ezekiel 18:6 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, 

Ezekiel 18:7 And hath not  oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge,  hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the  hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment; 

Ezekiel 18:8  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, 

Ezekiel 18:9  Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to  deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord  GOD.  

Ezekiel 18:10 If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of  blood, and that doeth the like to any one of these things,  

Ezekiel 18:11 And that doeth not any of those duties, but even  hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour’s  wife, 

Ezekiel 18:12 Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath  lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,   

Ezekiel 18:13 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.  

Ezekiel 18:14 Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his  father’s sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth  not such like, 

Ezekiel 18:15 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,  

Ezekiel 18:16 Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden  the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but hath  given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked  with a garment, 

Ezekiel 18:17 That hath taken off his hand from  the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath  executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he  shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely  live. 

Ezekiel 18:18 As for his father, because he cruelly  oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that  which is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die  in his iniquity.  

Ezekiel 18:19 Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the  iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is  lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath  done them, he shall surely live. 

Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that  sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of  the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the  son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him,  and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.  

Ezekiel 18:21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he  hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which  is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.  

Ezekiel 18:22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they  shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that  he hath done he shall live. 

Ezekiel 18:23 Have I any pleasure at  all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and  not that he should return from his ways, and live?  

Ezekiel 18:24 But when the righteous turneth away from his  righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth  according to all the abominations that the wicked man  doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done  shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath  trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall  he die.  

Ezekiel 18:25 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal.  Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not  your ways unequal? 

Ezekiel 18:26 When a righteous man  turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth  iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done  shall he die. 

Ezekiel 18:27 Again, when the wicked man turneth  away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and  doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul  alive. 

Ezekiel 18:28 Because he considereth, and turneth away  from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall  surely live, he shall not die. 

Ezekiel 18:29 Yet saith the house of  Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel,  are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal? 

Ezekiel 18:30  Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one  according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and  turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity  shall not be your ruin.  

Ezekiel 18:31 Cast away from you all your transgressions,  whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart  and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?   

Ezekiel 18:32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that  dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and  live ye.  

Ezekiel 19:1 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the  princes of Israel, 

Ezekiel 19:2 And say, What is thy mother? A  lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her  whelps among young lions. 

Ezekiel 19:3 And she brought up one  of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to  catch the prey; it devoured men. 

Ezekiel 19:4 The nations also  heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought  him with chains unto the land of Egypt. 

Ezekiel 19:5 Now when  she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then  she took another of her whelps, and made him a young  lion. 

Ezekiel 19:6 And he went up and down among the lions, he  became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and  devoured men. 

Ezekiel 19:7 And he knew their desolate palaces,  and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and  the fulness thereof, by the noise of his roaring. 

Ezekiel 19:8 Then  the nations set against him on every side from the  provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in  their pit. 

Ezekiel 19:9 And they put him in ward in chains, and  brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into  holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the  mountains of Israel.  

Ezekiel 19:10 Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted  by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by  reason of many waters. 

Ezekiel 19:11 And she had strong rods for  the sceptres of them that bare rule, and her stature was  exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her  height with the multitude of her branches. 

Ezekiel 19:12 But she  was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground,  and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were  broken and withered; the fire consumed them. 

Ezekiel 19:13 And  now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty  ground. 

Ezekiel 19:14 And fire is gone out of a rod of her  branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath  no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a  lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.  

Ezekiel 20:1 And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth  month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the  elders of Israel came to enquire of the LORD, and sat before  me. 

Ezekiel 20:2 Then came the word of the LORD unto me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 20:3 Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel,  and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye come  to enquire of me? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not  be enquired of by you. 

Ezekiel 20:4 Wilt thou judge them, son of  man, wilt thou judge them? cause them to know the  abominations of their fathers:  

Ezekiel 20:5 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In  the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto  the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known  unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand  unto them, saying, I am the LORD your God; 

Ezekiel 20:6 In  the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them  forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for  them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of  all lands: 

Ezekiel 20:7 Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every  man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves  with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. 

Ezekiel 20:8  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. 

Ezekiel 20:9  But I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be  polluted before the heathen, among whom they were, in  whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing  them forth out of the land of Egypt.   

Ezekiel 20:10 Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the  land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.  

Ezekiel 20:11 And I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my  judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them.  

Ezekiel 20:12 Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a  sign between me and them, that they might know that I am  the LORD that sanctify them. 

Ezekiel 20:13 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. 

Ezekiel 20:14 But I  wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted  before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.  

Ezekiel 20:15 Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the  wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which  I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is  the glory of all lands; 

Ezekiel 20:16 Because they despised my  judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my  sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols. 

Ezekiel 20:17  Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them,  neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.  

Ezekiel 20:18 But I said unto their children in the wilderness,  Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe  their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols:  

Ezekiel 20:19 I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes,  and keep my judgments, and do them; 

Ezekiel 20:20 And hallow  my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you,  that ye may know that I am the LORD your God. 

Ezekiel 20:21  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. 

Ezekiel 20:22 Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand,  and wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be  polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought  them forth. 

Ezekiel 20:23 I lifted up mine hand unto them also in  the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the  heathen, and disperse them through the countries; 

Ezekiel 20:24  Because they had not executed my judgments, but had  despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and  their eyes were after their fathers’ idols. 

Ezekiel 20:25 Wherefore  I gave them also statutes that were not good, and  judgments whereby they should not live; 

Ezekiel 20:26 And I  polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass  through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might  make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I  am the LORD.  

Ezekiel 20:27 Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of  Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Yet in  this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have  committed a trespass against me. 

Ezekiel 20:28 For when I had  brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine  hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and  all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and  there they presented the provocation of their offering: there  also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there  their drink offerings. 

Ezekiel 20:29 Then I said unto them, What  is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name thereof  is called Bamah unto this day. 

Ezekiel 20:30 Wherefore say unto  the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye  polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye  whoredom after their abominations? 

Ezekiel 20:31 For when ye  offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through  the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto  this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of  Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be  enquired of by you. 

Ezekiel 20:32 And that which cometh into  your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the  heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and  stone.   

Ezekiel 20:33 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a  mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury  poured out, will I rule over you: 

Ezekiel 20:34 And I will bring  you out from the people, and will gather you out of the  countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and  with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. 

Ezekiel 20:35  And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and  there will I plead with you face to face. 

Ezekiel 20:36 Like as I  pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of  Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.  

Ezekiel 20:37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I  will bring you into the bond of the covenant: 

Ezekiel 20:38 And I  will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that  transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the  country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the  land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.  

Ezekiel 20:39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord  GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter  also, if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my  holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.  

Ezekiel 20:40 For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the  height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the  house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I  accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the  firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.  

Ezekiel 20:41 I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I  bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the  countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be  sanctified in you before the heathen. 

Ezekiel 20:42 And ye shall  know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the  land of Israel, into the country for the which I lifted up  mine hand to give it to your fathers. 

Ezekiel 20:43 And there shall  ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye  have been defiled; and ye shall lothe yourselves in your own  sight for all your evils that ye have committed. 

Ezekiel 20:44 And  ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have wrought  with you for my name’s sake, not according to your wicked  ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of  Israel, saith the Lord GOD.  

Ezekiel 20:45 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 20:46 Son of man, set thy face toward the south,  and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against  the forest of the south field; 

Ezekiel 20:47 And say to the forest  of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the  Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall  devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the  flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the  south to the north shall be burned therein. 

Ezekiel 20:48 And all  flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not  be quenched. 

Ezekiel 20:49 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say  of me, Doth he not speak parables?  

Ezekiel 21:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,  

Ezekiel 21:2 Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop  thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the  land of Israel, 

Ezekiel 21:3 And say to the land of Israel, Thus  saith the LORD; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw  forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee    

Ezekiel Page 494   the righteous and the wicked. 

Ezekiel 21:4 Seeing then that I will  cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore  shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh  from the south to the north: 

Ezekiel 21:5 That all flesh may know  that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his  sheath: it shall not return any more. 

Ezekiel 21:6 Sigh therefore,  thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins; and with  bitterness sigh before their eyes. 

Ezekiel 21:7 And it shall be,  when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou  shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every  heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every  spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water:  behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the  Lord GOD.   

Ezekiel 21:8 Again the word of the LORD came unto me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 21:9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith  the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also  furbished: 

Ezekiel 21:10 It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter;  it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make  mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree.  

Ezekiel 21:11 And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be  handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give  it into the hand of the slayer. 

Ezekiel 21:12 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. 

Ezekiel 21:13  Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even  the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD. 

Ezekiel 21:14  Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine  hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third time,  the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men  that are slain, which entereth into their privy chambers.  

Ezekiel 21:15 I have set the point of the sword against all their  gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be  multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the  slaughter. 

Ezekiel 21:16 Go thee one way or other, either on the  right hand, or on the left, whithersoever thy face is set.  

Ezekiel 21:17 I will also smite mine hands together, and I will  cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said it. 

Ezekiel 21:18  The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,  

Ezekiel 21:19 Also, thou son of man, 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. 

Ezekiel 21:20  Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the  Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.  

Ezekiel 21:21 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. 

Ezekiel 21:22 At his right hand was the divination for  Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the  slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint  battering rams against the gates, to cast a mount, and to  build a fort. 

Ezekiel 21:23 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. 

Ezekiel 21:24 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because  ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your  transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your  sins do appear; because, I say, that ye are come to  remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.  

Ezekiel 21:25 And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose  day is come, when iniquity shall have an end, 

Ezekiel 21:26  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off  the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is  low, and abase him that is high. 

Ezekiel 21:27 I will overturn,  overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he  come whose right it is; and I will give it him.   

Ezekiel 21:28 And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus  saith the Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites, and  concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the  sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to  consume because of the glittering: 

Ezekiel 21:29 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.   

Ezekiel 21:30 Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will  judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land  of thy nativity. 

Ezekiel 21:31 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. 

Ezekiel 21:32 Thou shalt be for fuel to  the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou  shalt be no more remembered: for I the LORD have  spoken it.  

Ezekiel 22:1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 22:2 Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt  thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her  abominations. 

Ezekiel 22:3 Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord  GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her  time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile  herself. 

Ezekiel 22:4 Thou art become guilty in thy blood that  thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which  thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near,  and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made  thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all  countries. 

Ezekiel 22:5 Those that be near, and those that be  far from thee, shall mock thee, which art infamous and  much vexed. 

Ezekiel 22:6 Behold, the princes of Israel, every one  were in thee to their power to shed blood. 

Ezekiel 22:7 In thee  have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee  have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have  they vexed the fatherless and the widow. 

Ezekiel 22:8 Thou hast  despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.   

Ezekiel 22:9 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. 

Ezekiel 22:10 In thee have they discovered  their fathers’ nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that  was set apart for pollution. 

Ezekiel 22:11 And one hath  committed abomination with his neighbour’s wife; and  another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another  in thee hath humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.  

Ezekiel 22:12 In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou  hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained  of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith  the Lord GOD.  

Ezekiel 22:13 Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy  dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood  which hath been in the midst of thee. 

Ezekiel 22:14 Can thine  heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I  shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken it, and will  do it. 

Ezekiel 22:15 And I will scatter thee among the heathen,  and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy  filthiness out of thee. 

Ezekiel 22:16 And thou shalt take thine  inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou  shalt know that I am the LORD. 

Ezekiel 22:17 And the word of  the LORD came unto me, saying, 

Ezekiel 22:18 Son of man, the  house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass,  and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they  are even the dross of silver. 

Ezekiel 22:19 Therefore thus saith  the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold,  therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.  

Ezekiel 22:20 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.   

Ezekiel 22:21 Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the  fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst  thereof. 

Ezekiel 22:22 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.  

Ezekiel 22:23 And the word of the LORD came unto me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 22:24 Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the  land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of  indignation. 

Ezekiel 22:25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets  in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey;  they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and  precious things; they have made her many widows in the  midst thereof. 

Ezekiel 22:26 Her priests have violated my law,  and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no  difference between the holy and profane, neither have they  shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and  have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned  among them. 

Ezekiel 22:27 Her princes in the midst thereof are  like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to  destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. 

Ezekiel 22:28 And her  prophets have daubed them with untempered morter,  seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus  saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.  

Ezekiel 22:29 The people of the land have used oppression, and  exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea,  they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully. 

Ezekiel 22:30 And I  sought for a man among them, that should make up the  hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I  should not destroy it: but I found none. 

Ezekiel 22:31 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.  

Ezekiel 23:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 23:2 Son of man, there were two women, the  daughters of one mother: 

Ezekiel 23:3 And they committed  whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their  youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they  bruised the teats of their virginity. 

Ezekiel 23:4 And the names of  them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and  they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus  were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem  Aholibah. 

Ezekiel 23:5 And Aholah played the harlot when she  was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians  her neighbours, 

Ezekiel 23:6 Which were clothed with blue,  captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men,  horsemen riding upon horses. 

Ezekiel 23:7 Thus she committed  her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the  chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted:  with all their idols she defiled herself. 

Ezekiel 23:8 Neither left  she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her youth  they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her  virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her. 

Ezekiel 23:9  Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers,  into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.  

Ezekiel 23:10 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. 

Ezekiel 23:11 And when her sister Aholibah  saw this, she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than  she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her  whoredoms. 

Ezekiel 23:12 She doted upon the Assyrians her  neighbours, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously,  horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young  men. 

Ezekiel 23:13 Then I saw that she was defiled, that they  took both one way, 

Ezekiel 23:14 And that she increased her  whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the  wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with  vermilion, 

Ezekiel 23:15 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: 

Ezekiel 23:16 And as soon as  she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent  messengers unto them into Chaldea. 

Ezekiel 23:17 And the  Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they  defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with  them, and her mind was alienated from them. 

Ezekiel 23:18 So  she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her  nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my  mind was alienated from her sister. 

Ezekiel 23:19 Yet she  multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the  days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the  land of Egypt. 

Ezekiel 23:20 For she doted upon their paramours,  whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is  like the issue of horses. 

Ezekiel 23:21 Thus thou calledst to  remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy  teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.   

Ezekiel 23:22 Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD;  Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom  thy mind is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on  every side; 

Ezekiel 23:23 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 upon horses. 

Ezekiel 23:24 And they shall come against  thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an  assembly of people, which shall set against thee buckler  and shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment  before them, and they shall judge thee according to their  judgments. 

Ezekiel 23:25 And I will set my jealousy against thee,  and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away  thy nose and thine ears; and thy remnant shall fall by the  sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy  residue shall be devoured by the fire. 

Ezekiel 23:26 They shall  also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy fair  jewels. 

Ezekiel 23:27 Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease  from thee, and thy whoredom brought from the land of  Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them,  nor remember Egypt any more. 

Ezekiel 23:28 For thus saith the  Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of  them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from  whom thy mind is alienated: 

Ezekiel 23:29 And they shall deal  with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and  shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy  whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy  whoredoms. 

Ezekiel 23:30 I will do these things unto thee,  because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and  because thou art polluted with their idols. 

Ezekiel 23:31 Thou  hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her  cup into thine hand. 

Ezekiel 23:32 Thus saith the Lord GOD;  Thou shalt drink of thy sister’s cup deep and large: thou  shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth  much. 

Ezekiel 23:33 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and  sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with  the cup of thy sister Samaria. 

Ezekiel 23:34 Thou shalt even drink  it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof,  and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith  the Lord GOD. 

Ezekiel 23:35 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD;  Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy  back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy  whoredoms.

Ezekiel 23:36 The LORD said moreover unto me; Son of man,  wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto  them their abominations; 

Ezekiel 23:37 That they have committed  adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols  have they committed adultery, and have also caused their  sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through  the fire, to devour them. 

Ezekiel 23:38 Moreover this they  have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the  same day, and have profaned my sabbaths. 

Ezekiel 23:39 For  when they had slain their children to their idols, then they  came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo,  thus have they done in the midst of mine house. 

Ezekiel 23:40  And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from  far, unto whom a messenger was sent; and, lo, they came:  for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and  deckedst thyself with ornaments, 

Ezekiel 23:41 And satest upon a  stately bed, and a table prepared before it, whereupon thou  hast set mine incense and mine oil. 

Ezekiel 23:42 And a voice of  a multitude being at ease was with her: and with the men  of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the  wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and  beautiful crowns upon their heads. 

Ezekiel 23:43 Then said I unto  her that was old in adulteries, Will they now commit  whoredoms with her, and she with them? 

Ezekiel 23:44 Yet  they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that  playeth the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto  Aholibah, the lewd women.  

Ezekiel 23:45 And the righteous men, they shall judge them  after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of  women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and  blood is in their hands. 

Ezekiel 23:46 For thus saith the Lord  GOD; I will bring up a company upon them, and will give  them to be removed and spoiled. 

Ezekiel 23:47 And the company  shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their  swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and  burn up their houses with fire. 

Ezekiel 23:48 Thus will I cause  lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be  taught not to do after your lewdness. 

Ezekiel 23:49 And they shall  recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the  sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord  GOD.  

Ezekiel 24:1 Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the  tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto  me, saying, 

Ezekiel 24:2 Son of man, write thee the name of the  day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set  himself against Jerusalem this same day. 

Ezekiel 24:3 And utter a  parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus  saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour  water into it: 

Ezekiel 24:4 Gather the pieces thereof into it, even  every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with  the choice bones. 

Ezekiel 24:5 Take the choice of the flock, and  burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let  them seethe the bones of it therein.  

Ezekiel 24:6 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the  bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose  scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let  no lot fall up on it. 

Ezekiel 24:7 For her blood is in the midst of  her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon  the ground, to cover it with dust; 

Ezekiel 24:8 That it might cause  fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood  upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered. 

Ezekiel 24:9  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city!  I will even make the pile for fire great. 

Ezekiel 24:10 Heap on  wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well,  and let the bones be burned. 

Ezekiel 24:11 Then set it empty upon  the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may  burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that  the scum of it may be consumed. 

Ezekiel 24:12 She hath wearied  herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of  her: her scum shall be in the fire. 

Ezekiel 24:13 In thy filthiness  is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not  purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any  more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee. 

Ezekiel 24:14 I  the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will  do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I  repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings,  shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.   

Ezekiel 24:15 Also the word of the LORD came unto me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 24:16 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee  the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou  mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down. 

Ezekiel 24:17  Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire  of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet,  and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men.  

Ezekiel 24:18 So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at  even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was  commanded.  

Ezekiel 24:19 And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us  what these things are to us, that thou doest so? 

Ezekiel 24:20  Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto  me, saying, 

Ezekiel 24:21 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus  saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary,  the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and  that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your  daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.  

Ezekiel 24:22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover  your lips, nor eat the bread of men. 

Ezekiel 24:23 And your tires  shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet:  ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for  your iniquities, and mourn one toward another. 

Ezekiel 24:24  Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath  done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I  am the Lord GOD. 

Ezekiel 24:25 Also, thou son of man, shall  it not be in the day when I take from them their strength,  the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that  whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their  daughters, 

Ezekiel 24:26 That he that escapeth in that day shall  come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?  

Ezekiel 24:27 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which  is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and  thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I  am the LORD.  

Ezekiel 25:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 25:2 Son of man, set thy face against the  Ammonites, and prophesy against them; 

Ezekiel 25:3 And say  unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus  saith the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my  sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of  Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah,  when they went into captivity; 

Ezekiel 25:4 Behold, therefore I  will deliver thee to the men of the east for a possession, and  they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings  in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy  milk. 

Ezekiel 25:5 And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels,  and the Ammonites a couchingplace for flocks: and ye shall  know that I am the LORD. 

Ezekiel 25:6 For thus saith the Lord  GOD; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and  stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy  despite against the land of Israel; 

Ezekiel 25:7 Behold, therefore I  will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee  for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the  people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I  will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.   

Ezekiel 25:8 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and  Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the  heathen; 

Ezekiel 25:9 Therefore, behold, I will open the side of  Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his  frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth-jeshimoth, Baalmeon,  and Kiriathaim, 

Ezekiel 25:10 Unto the men of the east  with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that  the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.  

Ezekiel 25:11 And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they  shall know that I am the LORD.  

Ezekiel 25:12 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom  hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance,  and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;  

Ezekiel 25:13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also  stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and  beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and  they of Dedan shall fall by the sword. 

Ezekiel 25:14 And I will  lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people  Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger  and according to my fury; and they shall know my  vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.  

Ezekiel 25:15 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines  have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a  despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred; 

Ezekiel 25:16  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch  out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the  Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.  

Ezekiel 25:17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with  furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD,  when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.  

Ezekiel 26:1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the  first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came  unto me, saying, 

Ezekiel 26:2 Son of man, because that Tyrus  hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was  the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be  replenished, now she is laid waste: 

Ezekiel 26:3 Therefore thus  saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus,  and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the  sea causeth his waves to come up. 

Ezekiel 26:4 And they shall  destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I  will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top  of a rock. 

Ezekiel 26:5 It shall be a place for the spreading of  nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the  Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the nations.  

Ezekiel 26:6 And her daughters which are in the field shall be  slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the  LORD.  

Ezekiel 26:7 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring  upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of  kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and  with horsemen, and companies, and much people. 

Ezekiel 26:8  He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and  he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against  thee, and lift up the buckler against thee. 

Ezekiel 26:9 And he  shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes  he shall break down thy towers. 

Ezekiel 26:10 By reason of the  abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy  walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the  wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy  gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.  

Ezekiel 26:11 With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all  thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy  strong garrisons shall go down to the ground. 

Ezekiel 26:12 And  they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy  merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and  destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones  and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.   

Ezekiel 26:13 And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease;  and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard. 

Ezekiel 26:14  And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a  place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I  the LORD have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.  

Ezekiel 26:15 Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the  isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry,  when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee? 

Ezekiel 26:16  Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their  thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their  broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with  trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble  at every moment, and be astonished at thee. 

Ezekiel 26:17 And  they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee,  How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited of seafaring  men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she  and her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all  that haunt it! 

Ezekiel 26:18 Now shall the isles tremble in the day  of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be  troubled at thy departure. 

Ezekiel 26:19 For thus saith the Lord  GOD; When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities  that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon  thee, and great waters shall cover thee; 

Ezekiel 26:20 When I  shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit,  with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low  parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that  go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set  glory in the land of the living; 

Ezekiel 26:21 I will make thee a  terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought  for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD.  

Ezekiel 27:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 27:2 Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation  for Tyrus; 

Ezekiel 27:3 And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art  situate at the entry of the sea, which art a merchant of the  people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O Tyrus,  thou hast said, I am of perfect beauty. 

Ezekiel 27:4 Thy borders  are in the midst of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy  beauty. 

Ezekiel 27:5 They have made all thy ship boards of fir  trees of Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to  make masts for thee. 

Ezekiel 27:6 Of the oaks of Bashan have  they made thine oars; the company of the Ashurites have  made thy benches of ivory, brought out of the isles of  Chittim. 

Ezekiel 27:7 Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt  was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and  purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered  thee. 

Ezekiel 27:8 The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy  mariners: thy wise men, O Tyrus, that were in thee, were  thy pilots. 

Ezekiel 27:9 The ancients of Gebal and the wise men  thereof were in thee thy calkers: all the ships of the sea with  their mariners were in thee to occupy thy merchandise.  

Ezekiel 27:10 They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in  thine army, thy men of war: they hanged the shield and  helmet in thee; they set forth thy comeliness. 

Ezekiel 27:11 The  men of Arvad with thine army were upon thy walls round  about, and the Gammadims were in thy towers: they hanged  their shields upon thy walls round about; they have made  thy beauty perfect. 

Ezekiel 27:12 Tarshish was thy merchant by  reason of the multitude of all kind of riches; with silver,  iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs.

Ezekiel 27:14 They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs  with horses and horsemen and mules. 

Ezekiel 27:15 The men of    Dedan were thy merchants; many isles were the  merchandise of thine hand: they brought thee for a present  horns of ivory and ebony.

Ezekiel 27:24  These were thy merchants in all sorts of things, in blue  clothes, and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel,  bound with cords, and made of cedar, among thy  merchandise. 

Ezekiel 27:25 The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee  in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very  glorious in the midst of the seas. 

Ezekiel 27:26 Thy rowers have  brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath broken  thee in the midst of the seas. 

Ezekiel 27:27 Thy riches, and thy  fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy  calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and all thy  men of war, that are in thee, and in all thy company which  is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas  in the day of thy ruin. 

Ezekiel 27:28 The suburbs shall shake at  the sound of the cry of thy pilots. 

Ezekiel 27:29 And all that  handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea,  shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the  land; 

Ezekiel 27:30 And shall cause their voice to be heard  against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust  upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes:  

Ezekiel 27:31 And they shall make themselves utterly bald for  thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for  thee with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing. 

Ezekiel 27:32  And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for  thee, and lament over thee, saying, What city is like  Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea? 

Ezekiel 27:33  When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst  many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with  the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise. 

Ezekiel 27:34  In the time when thou shalt be broken by the seas in the  depths of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company  in the midst of thee shall fall. 

Ezekiel 27:35 All the inhabitants of  the isles shall be astonished at thee, and their kings shall be  sore afraid, they shall be troubled in their countenance.  

Ezekiel 27:36 The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee;  thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt be any more.  

Ezekiel 28:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus,  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up,  and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in  the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God,  though thou set thine heart as the heart of God: 

Ezekiel 28:3  Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that  they can hide from thee: 

Ezekiel 28:4 With thy wisdom and with  thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast  gotten gold and silver into thy treasures: 

Ezekiel 28:5 By thy  great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy  riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:   

Ezekiel 28:6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou  hast set thine heart as the heart of God; 

Ezekiel 28:7 Behold,  therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the  nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty  of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness. 

Ezekiel 28:8  They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the  deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.  

Ezekiel 28:9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am  God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of  him that slayeth thee. 

Ezekiel 28:10 Thou shalt die the deaths of  the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have  spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. 

Ezekiel 28:11 Moreover the  word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 

Ezekiel 28:12 Son of  man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say  unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the  sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 

Ezekiel 28:13 Thou  hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone  was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the  beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald,  and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets  and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou  wast created. 

Ezekiel 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that  covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy  mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the  midst of the stones of fire. 

Ezekiel 28:15 Thou wast perfect in  thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity  was found in thee. 

Ezekiel 28:16 By the multitude of thy  merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with  violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as  profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee,  O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.  

Ezekiel 28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty,  thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness:  I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings,  that they may behold thee. 

Ezekiel 28:18 Thou hast defiled thy  sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the  iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire  from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring  thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that  behold thee. 

Ezekiel 28:19 All they that know thee among the  people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and  never shalt thou be any more.  

Ezekiel 28:20 Again the word of the LORD came unto me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 28:21 Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and  prophesy against it, 

Ezekiel 28:22 And say, Thus saith the Lord  GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; and I will be  glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I  am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in  her, and shall be sanctified in her. 

Ezekiel 28:23 For I will send  into her pestilence, and blood into her street; and the  wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword  upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the  LORD. 

Ezekiel 28:24 And there shall be no more a pricking brier  unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that  are round about them, that despised them; and they shall  know that I am the Lord GOD. 

Ezekiel 28:25 Thus saith the  Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel  from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall  be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall  they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant  Jacob. 

Ezekiel 28:26 And they shall dwell safely therein, and  shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall  dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments  upon all those that despise them round about them; and they  shall know that I am the LORD their God.  

Ezekiel 29:1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came  unto me, saying, 

Ezekiel 29:2 Son of man, set thy face against  Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and  against all Egypt: 

Ezekiel 29:3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the  Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of  Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers,  which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made  it for myself. 

Ezekiel 29:4 But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and  I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales,  and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and  all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales. 

Ezekiel 29:5  And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and  all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields;  thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have  given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to the  fowls of the heaven. 

Ezekiel 29:6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt  shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a  staff of reed to the house of Israel. 

Ezekiel 29:7 When they took  hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their  shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and  madest all their loins to be at a stand.   

Ezekiel 29:8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will  bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of  thee. 

Ezekiel 29:9 And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and  waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because  he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it.  

Ezekiel 29:10 Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against  thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste  and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the  border of Ethiopia. 

Ezekiel 29:11 No foot of man shall pass  through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither  shall it be inhabited forty years. 

Ezekiel 29:12 And I will make  the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that  are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid  waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the  Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them  through the countries.  

Ezekiel 29:13 Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty  years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither  they were scattered: 

Ezekiel 29:14 And I will bring again the  captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the  land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they  shall be there a base kingdom. 

Ezekiel 29:15 It shall be the basest  of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above  the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more  rule over the nations. 

Ezekiel 29:16 And it shall be no more the  confidence of the house of Israel, which bringeth their  iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them:  but they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.  

Ezekiel 29:17 And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth  year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the  word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 

Ezekiel 29:18 Son of  man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to  serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made  bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages,  nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served  against it: 

Ezekiel 29:19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD;  Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar  king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take  her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his  army. 

Ezekiel 29:20 I have given him the land of Egypt for his  labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought  for me, saith the Lord GOD.  

Ezekiel 29:21 In that day will I cause the horn of the house of  Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the  mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am  the LORD.   

Ezekiel 30:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 30:2 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith  the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth the day 

Ezekiel 30:3 For the  day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy  day; it shall be the time of the heathen. 

Ezekiel 30:4 And the  sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in  Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall  take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be  broken down. 

Ezekiel 30:5 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and  all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land  that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword. 

Ezekiel 30:6  Thus saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall  fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the  tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the  Lord GOD. 

Ezekiel 30:7 And they shall be desolate in the midst  of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in  the midst of the cities that are wasted. 

Ezekiel 30:8 And they  shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in  Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed. 

Ezekiel 30:9  In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to  make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall  come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.  

Ezekiel 30:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also make the  multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar  king of Babylon. 

Ezekiel 30:11 He and his people with him, the  terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land:  and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the  land with the slain. 

Ezekiel 30:12 And I will make the rivers dry,  and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will  make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the hand of  strangers: I the LORD have spoken it. 

Ezekiel 30:13 Thus saith  the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause  their images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no  more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in  the land of Egypt. 

Ezekiel 30:14 And I will make Pathros  desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute  judgments in No. 

Ezekiel 30:15 And I will pour my fury upon  Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of  No. 

Ezekiel 30:16 And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have  great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph shall  have distresses daily. 

Ezekiel 30:17 The young men of Aven and  of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword: and these cities shall  go into captivity. 

Ezekiel 30:18 At Tehaphnehes also the day  shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of  Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as  for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go  into captivity. 

Ezekiel 30:19 Thus will I execute judgments in  Egypt: and they shall know that I am the LORD.  

Ezekiel 30:20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the  first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the  word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 

Ezekiel 30:21 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. 

Ezekiel 30:22  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against  Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong,  and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to  fall out of his hand. 

Ezekiel 30:23 And I will scatter the  Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them  through the countries. 

Ezekiel 30:24 And I will strengthen the  arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand:  but I will break Pharaoh’s arms, and he shall groan before  him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.  

Ezekiel 30:25 But I will strengthen the arms of the king of  Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they    

Ezekiel Page 500   shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall put my  sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall  stretch it out upon the land of Egypt. 

Ezekiel 30:26 And I will  scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them  among the countries; and they shall know that I am the  LORD.   

Ezekiel 31:1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the  third month, in the first day of the month, that the word  of the LORD came unto me, saying, 

Ezekiel 31:2 Son of man,  speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude;  Whom art thou like in thy greatness?  

Ezekiel 31:3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon  with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an  high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.  

Ezekiel 31:4 The waters made him great, the deep set him up on  high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent  out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field. 

Ezekiel 31:5  Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the  field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches  became long because of the multitude of waters, when he  shot forth. 

Ezekiel 31:6 All the fowls of heaven made their nests  in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of  the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow  dwelt all great nations. 

Ezekiel 31:7 Thus was he fair in his  greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by  great waters. 

Ezekiel 31:8 The cedars in the garden of God could  not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the  chesnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the  garden of God was like unto him in his beauty. 

Ezekiel 31:9 I  have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that  all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God,  envied him.  

Ezekiel 31:10 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou  hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top  among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his  height; 

Ezekiel 31:11 I have therefore delivered him into the hand  of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with  him: I have driven him out for his wickedness. 

Ezekiel 31:12 And  strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and  have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his  branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the  rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone  down from his shadow, and have left him. 

Ezekiel 31:13 Upon  his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the  beasts of the field shall be upon his branches: 

Ezekiel 31:14 To  the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt  themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among  the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height,  all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to  the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of  men, with them that go down to the pit. 

Ezekiel 31:15 Thus saith  the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I  caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I  restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were  stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the  trees of the field fainted for him. 

Ezekiel 31:16 I made the nations  to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to  hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of  Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water,  shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth. 

Ezekiel 31:17  They also went down into hell with him unto them that be  slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that  dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.  

Ezekiel 31:18 To whom art thou thus like in glory and in  greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be  brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of  the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised  with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh  and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.   

Ezekiel 32:1 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the  twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the  word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 

Ezekiel 32:2 Son of  man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and  say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and  thou art as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with  thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and  fouledst their rivers. 

Ezekiel 32:3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will  therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of  many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net. 

Ezekiel 32:4  Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth  upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the  heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the  whole earth with thee. 

Ezekiel 32:5 And I will lay thy flesh upon  the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height. 

Ezekiel 32:6 I  will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou  swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be  full of thee. 

Ezekiel 32:7 And when I shall put thee out, I will  cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will  cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her  light. 

Ezekiel 32:8 All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark  over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord  GOD. 

Ezekiel 32:9 I will also vex the hearts of many people,  when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into  the countries which thou hast not known. 

Ezekiel 32:10 Yea, I  will make many people amazed at thee, and their kings shall  be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword  before them; and they shall tremble at every moment,  every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall.  

Ezekiel 32:11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the  king of Babylon shall come upon thee. 

Ezekiel 32:12 By the  swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall, the  terrible of the nations, all of them: and they shall spoil the  pomp of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be  destroyed. 

Ezekiel 32:13 I will destroy also all the beasts thereof  from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man  trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them.  

Ezekiel 32:14 Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their  rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord GOD. 

Ezekiel 32:15 When I  shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the country shall  be destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite  all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I am  the LORD. 

Ezekiel 32:16 This is the lamentation wherewith  they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall  lament her: they shall lament for her, even for Egypt, and  for all her multitude, saith the Lord GOD.  

Ezekiel 32:17 It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the  fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the LORD  came unto me, saying, 

Ezekiel 32:18 Son of man, wail for the  multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the  daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the  earth, with them that go down into the pit. 

Ezekiel 32:19 Whom  dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the  uncircumcised. 

Ezekiel 32:20 They shall fall in the midst of  them that are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the  sword: draw her and all her multitudes. 

Ezekiel 32:21 The strong  among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell  with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie  uncircumcised, slain by the sword. 

Ezekiel 32:22 Asshur is  there and all her company: his graves are about him: all of  them slain, fallen by the sword: 

Ezekiel 32:23 Whose graves are  set in the sides of the pit, and her company is round about    Page 501 

Ezekiel   her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which  caused terror in the land of the living. 

Ezekiel 32:24 There is  Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of  them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down  uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which  caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they  borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.   

Ezekiel 32:25 They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain  with all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all  of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their  terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they  borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is  put in the midst of them that be slain. 

Ezekiel 32:26 There is  Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves are  round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the  sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the  living. 

Ezekiel 32:27 And they shall not lie with the mighty that  are fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to  hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their  swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon  their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty in  the land of the living. 

Ezekiel 32:28 Yea, thou shalt be broken in  the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with them that  are slain with the sword. 

Ezekiel 32:29 There is Edom, her  kings, and all her princes, which with their might are laid by  them that were slain by the sword: they shall lie with the  uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.  

Ezekiel 32:30 There be the princes of the north, all of them, and  all the Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with  their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie  uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword, and  bear their shame with them that go down to the pit. 

Ezekiel 32:31  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. 

Ezekiel 32:32 For I have caused my  terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the  midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with  the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the  Lord GOD.  

Ezekiel 33:1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 33:2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy  people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a  land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and  set him for their watchman: 

Ezekiel 33:3 If when he seeth the  sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn  the people; 

Ezekiel 33:4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the  trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and  take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.  

Ezekiel 33:5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not  warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh  warning shall deliver his soul. 

Ezekiel 33:6 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.  

Ezekiel 33:7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman  unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word  at my mouth, and warn them from me. 

Ezekiel 33:8 When I say  unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if  thou 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. 

Ezekiel 33:9 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. 

Ezekiel 33:10 Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the  house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions  and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how  should we then live? 

Ezekiel 33:11 Say unto them, As I live,  saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the  wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn  ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O  house of Israel? 

Ezekiel 33:12 Therefore, thou son of man, say  unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the  righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his  transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall  not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his  wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his  righteousness in the day that he sinneth. 

Ezekiel 33:13 When I  shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he  trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his  righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his  iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it. 

Ezekiel 33:14  Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if  he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;   

Ezekiel 33:15 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that  he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without  committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.  

Ezekiel 33:16 None of his sins that he hath committed shall be  mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and  right; he shall surely live.  

Ezekiel 33:17 Yet the children of thy people say, The way of  the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.  

Ezekiel 33:18 When the righteous turneth from his righteousness,  and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby. 

Ezekiel 33:19  But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that  which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.  

Ezekiel 33:20 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O  ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.  

Ezekiel 33:21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our  captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the  month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came  unto me, saying, The city is smitten. 

Ezekiel 33:22 Now the hand  of the LORD was upon me in the evening, afore he that was  escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to  me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no  more dumb. 

Ezekiel 33:23 Then the word of the LORD came  unto me, saying, 

Ezekiel 33:24 Son of man, they that inhabit  those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham  was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the  land is given us for inheritance. 

Ezekiel 33:25 Wherefore say  unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood,  and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and  shall ye possess the land? 

Ezekiel 33:26 Ye stand upon your  sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his  neighbour’s wife: and shall ye possess the land? 

Ezekiel 33:27  Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; As I  live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the  sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the  beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in  the caves shall die of the pestilence. 

Ezekiel 33:28 For I will lay  the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall  cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that  none shall pass through. 

Ezekiel 33:29 Then shall they know that  I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate  because of all their abominations which they have  committed.  

Ezekiel 33:30 Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people  still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of  the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his  brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the  word that cometh forth from the LORD. 

Ezekiel 33:31 And they  come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before    

Ezekiel Page 502   thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will  not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love,  but their heart goeth after their covetousness. 

Ezekiel 33:32  And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one  that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an  instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.   

Ezekiel 33:33 And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,)  then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.  

Ezekiel 34:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,  

Ezekiel 34:2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of  Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord  GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of  Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds  feed the flocks? 

Ezekiel 34:3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you  with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the  flock. 

Ezekiel 34:4 The diseased have ye not strengthened,  neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye  bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought  again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought  that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye  ruled them. 

Ezekiel 34:5 And they were scattered, because there  is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of  the field, when they were scattered. 

Ezekiel 34:6 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.  

Ezekiel 34:7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the  LORD; 

Ezekiel 34:8 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely  because my flock became a prey, and my flock became  meat to every beast of the field, because there was no  shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but  the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; 

Ezekiel 34:9  Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;   

Ezekiel 34:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against  the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and  cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the  shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my  flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.  

Ezekiel 34:11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I,  will both search my sheep, and seek them out. 

Ezekiel 34:12 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. 

Ezekiel 34:13 And I will  bring them out from the people, and gather them from the  countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed  them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all  the inhabited places of the country. 

Ezekiel 34:14 I will feed them  in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel  shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and  in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of  Israel. 

Ezekiel 34:15 I will feed my flock, and I will cause them  to lie down, saith the Lord GOD. 

Ezekiel 34:16 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. 

Ezekiel 34:17 And as  for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I  judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he  goats. 

Ezekiel 34:18 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?  

Ezekiel 34:19 And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have  trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have  fouled with your feet.  

Ezekiel 34:20 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them;  Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and  between the lean cattle. 

Ezekiel 34:21 Because ye have thrust  with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased  with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad; 

Ezekiel 34:22  Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a  prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle. 

Ezekiel 34:23  And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed  them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he  shall be their shepherd. 

Ezekiel 34:24 And I the LORD will be  their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the  LORD have spoken it. 

Ezekiel 34:25 And I will make with them  a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease  out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the  wilderness, and sleep in the woods. 

Ezekiel 34:26 And I will  make them and the places round about my hill a blessing;  and I will cause the shower to come down in his season;  there shall be showers of blessing. 

Ezekiel 34:27 And the tree of  the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her  increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know  that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of  their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that  served themselves of them. 

Ezekiel 34:28 And they shall no more  be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land  devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall  make them afraid. 

Ezekiel 34:29 And I will raise up for them a  plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with  hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen  any more. 

Ezekiel 34:30 Thus shall they know that I the LORD  their God am with them, and that they, even the house  of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord GOD. 

Ezekiel 34:31  And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I  am your God, saith the Lord GOD.  

Ezekiel 35:1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 35:2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir,  and prophesy against it, 

Ezekiel 35:3 And say unto it, Thus saith  the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee,  and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will  make thee most desolate. 

Ezekiel 35:4 I will lay thy cities waste,  and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am  the LORD. 

Ezekiel 35:5 Because thou hast had a perpetual  hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by  the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the  time that their iniquity had an end: 

Ezekiel 35:6 Therefore,  as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto  blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated  blood, even blood shall pursue thee. 

Ezekiel 35:7 Thus will I  make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that  passeth out and him that returneth. 

Ezekiel 35:8 And I will fill his  mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy  valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain  with the sword. 

Ezekiel 35:9 I will make thee perpetual  desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall  know that I am the LORD. 

Ezekiel 35:10 Because thou hast  said, These two nations and these two countries shall be  mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:  

Ezekiel 35:11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will  even do according to thine anger, and according to thine  envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them;  and I will make myself known among them, when I have  judged thee. 

Ezekiel 35:12 And thou shalt know that I am the  LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which  thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying,  They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.  

Ezekiel 35:13 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me,  and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard  them. 

Ezekiel 35:14 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole  earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate. 

Ezekiel 35:15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel,  because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be  desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and  they shall know that I am the LORD.   

Ezekiel 36:1 Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the  mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear  the word of the LORD: 

Ezekiel 36:2 Thus saith the Lord GOD;  Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the  ancient high places are ours in possession: 

Ezekiel 36:3 Therefore  prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they  have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every  side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the  heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are  an infamy of the people: 

Ezekiel 36:4 Therefore, ye mountains of  Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord  GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to  the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are  forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue  of the heathen that are round about; 

Ezekiel 36:5 Therefore thus  saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I  spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all  Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession  with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to  cast it out for a prey. 

Ezekiel 36:6 Prophesy therefore concerning  the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the  hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord  GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury,  because ye have borne the shame of the heathen: 

Ezekiel 36:7  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine  hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall  bear their shame.  

Ezekiel 36:8 But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth  your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel;  for they are at hand to come. 

Ezekiel 36:9 For, behold, I am for  you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and  sown: 

Ezekiel 36:10 And I will multiply men upon you, all the  house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be  inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded: 

Ezekiel 36:11 And I  will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall  increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old  estates, and will do better unto you than at your  beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.  

Ezekiel 36:12 Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my  people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be  their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave  them of men. 

Ezekiel 36:13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because  they say unto you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast  bereaved thy nations; 

Ezekiel 36:14 Therefore thou shalt devour  men no more, neither bereave thy nations any more, saith  the Lord GOD. 

Ezekiel 36:15 Neither will I cause men to hear  in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt  thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt  thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord GOD.  

Ezekiel 36:16 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 36:17 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. 

Ezekiel 36:18 Wherefore I poured my fury  upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land,  and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it: 

Ezekiel 36:19  And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were  dispersed through the countries: according to their way and  according to their doings I judged them. 

Ezekiel 36:20 And when  they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they  profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These  are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his  land.   

Ezekiel 36:21 But I had pity for mine holy name, which the  house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither  they went. 

Ezekiel 36:22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel,  Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O  house of Israel, but for mine holy name’s sake, which ye  have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. 

Ezekiel 36:23  And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned  among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of  them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD,  saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you  before their eyes. 

Ezekiel 36:24 For I will take you from among  the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will  bring you into your own land.  

Ezekiel 36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye  shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your  idols, will I cleanse you. 

Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I  give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will  take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give  you an heart of flesh. 

Ezekiel 36:27 And I will put my spirit  within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye  shall keep my judgments, and do them. 

Ezekiel 36:28 And ye  shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye  shall be my people, and I will be your God. 

Ezekiel 36:29 I will  also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call  for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon  you. 

Ezekiel 36:30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and  the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more  reproach of famine among the heathen. 

Ezekiel 36:31 Then shall  ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that  were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own  sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. 

Ezekiel 36:32  Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it  known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own  ways, O house of Israel. 

Ezekiel 36:33 Thus saith the Lord GOD;  In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your  iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and  the wastes shall be builded. 

Ezekiel 36:34 And the desolate land  shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that  passed by. 

Ezekiel 36:35 And they shall say, This land that was  desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste  and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and  are inhabited. 

Ezekiel 36:36 Then the heathen that are left round  about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined  places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have  spoken it, and I will do it. 

Ezekiel 36:37 Thus saith the Lord  GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of  Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like  a flock. 

Ezekiel 36:38 As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem  in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with  flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD.  

Ezekiel 37:1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried  me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the  midst of the valley which was full of bones, 

Ezekiel 37:2 And  caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there  were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were  very dry. 

Ezekiel 37:3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can  these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou  knowest. 

Ezekiel 37:4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon  these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the  word of the LORD. 

Ezekiel 37:5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto  these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you,  and ye shall live: 

Ezekiel 37:6 And I will lay sinews upon you,  and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin,  and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know  that I am the LORD. 

Ezekiel 37:7 So I prophesied as I was    

Ezekiel Page 504   commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and  behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his  bone. 

Ezekiel 37:8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the  flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above:  but there was no breath in them. 

Ezekiel 37:9 Then said he unto  me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say  to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four  winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may  live. 

Ezekiel 37:10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the  breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon  their feet, an exceeding great army.   

Ezekiel 37:11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones  are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones  are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.  

Ezekiel 37:12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith  the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your  graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and  bring you into the land of Israel. 

Ezekiel 37:13 And ye shall know  that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O  my people, and brought you up out of your graves, 

Ezekiel 37:14  And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall  place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the  LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.  

Ezekiel 37:15 The word of the LORD came again unto me,  saying, 

Ezekiel 37:16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one  stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of  Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write  upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the  house of Israel his companions: 

Ezekiel 37:17 And join them one  to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine  hand.  

Ezekiel 37:18 And when the children of thy people shall speak  unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou  meanest by these? 

Ezekiel 37:19 Say unto them, Thus saith the  Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which  is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his  fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of  Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in  mine hand.  

Ezekiel 37:20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in  thine hand before their eyes. 

Ezekiel 37:21 And say unto them,  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children  of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and  will gather them on every side, and bring them into their  own land: 

Ezekiel 37:22 And I will make them one nation in the  land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be  king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations,  neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at  all: 

Ezekiel 37:23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more  with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with  any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all  their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will  cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their  God. 

Ezekiel 37:24 And David my servant shall be king over  them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also  walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do  them. 

Ezekiel 37:25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have  given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have  dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their  children, and their children’s children for ever: and my  servant David shall be their prince for ever. 

Ezekiel 37:26  Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it  shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place  them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the  midst of them for evermore. 

Ezekiel 37:27 My tabernacle also  shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall  be my people. 

Ezekiel 37:28 And the heathen shall know that I  the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in  the midst of them for evermore.   

Ezekiel 38:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,  

Ezekiel 38:2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of  Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and  prophesy against him, 

Ezekiel 38:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord  GOD; Behold I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince  of Meshech and Tubal: 

Ezekiel 38:4 And I will turn thee back,  and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and  all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed  with all sorts of armour, even a great company with  bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: 

Ezekiel 38:5  Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with  shield and helmet: 

Ezekiel 38:6 Gomer, and all his bands; the  house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands:  and many people with thee. 

Ezekiel 38:7 Be thou prepared, and  prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are  assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.  

Ezekiel 38:8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter  years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back  from the sword, and is gathered out of many people,  against the mountains of Israel, which have been always  waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they  shall dwell safely all of them. 

Ezekiel 38:9 Thou shalt ascend and  come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the  land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.  

Ezekiel 38:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to  pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy  mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: 

Ezekiel 38:11 And  thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages;  I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of  them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor  gates, 

Ezekiel 38:12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn  thine hand upon the desolate places that are now  inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the  nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in  the midst of the land. 

Ezekiel 38:13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the  merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof,  shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou  gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver  and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great  spoil?  

Ezekiel 38:14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto  Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people  of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? 

Ezekiel 38:15  And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts,  thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon  horses, a great company, and a mighty army: 

Ezekiel 38:16 And  thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to  cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring  thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when  I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.  

Ezekiel 38:17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I  have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of  Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I  would bring thee against them? 

Ezekiel 38:18 And it shall come  to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the  land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall  come up in my face. 

Ezekiel 38:19 For in my jealousy and in  the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there  shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; 

Ezekiel 38:20 So  that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and  the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep  upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of    Page 505 

Ezekiel   the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains  shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and  every wall shall fall to the ground. 

Ezekiel 38:21 And I will call  for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith  the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his  brother. 

Ezekiel 38:22 And I will plead against him with  pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and  upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with  him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and  brimstone. 

Ezekiel 38:23 Thus will I magnify myself, and  sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many  nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.   

Ezekiel 39:1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog,  and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against  thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 

Ezekiel 39:2  And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of  thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts,  and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: 

Ezekiel 39:3  And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause  thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. 

Ezekiel 39:4 Thou shalt  fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,  and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the  ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field  to be devoured. 

Ezekiel 39:5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field:  for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. 

Ezekiel 39:6 And I  will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell  carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the  LORD. 

Ezekiel 39:7 So will I make my holy name known in the  midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute  my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I  am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.  

Ezekiel 39:8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord  GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken. 

Ezekiel 39:9 And  they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall  set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the  bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and  the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:  

Ezekiel 39:10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field,  neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn  the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled  them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.  

Ezekiel 39:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will  give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of  the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the  noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and  all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of  Hamon-gog. 

Ezekiel 39:12 And seven months shall the house of  Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.  

Ezekiel 39:13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them;  and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be  glorified, saith the Lord GOD. 

Ezekiel 39:14 And they shall sever  out men of continual employment, passing through the land  to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face  of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months  shall they search. 

Ezekiel 39:15 And the passengers that pass  through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall  he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the  valley of Hamon-gog. 

Ezekiel 39:16 And also the name of the  city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.  

Ezekiel 39:17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD;  Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the  field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on  every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even  a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may  eat flesh, and drink blood. 

Ezekiel 39:18 Ye shall eat the flesh of  the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth,  of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them  fatlings of Bashan. 

Ezekiel 39:19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be  full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice  which I have sacrificed for you. 

Ezekiel 39:20 Thus ye shall be  filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty  men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD. 

Ezekiel 39:21  And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the  heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my  hand that I have laid upon them. 

Ezekiel 39:22 So the house of  Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that  day and forward.   

Ezekiel 39:23 And the heathen shall know that the house of  Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they  trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them,  and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all  by the sword. 

Ezekiel 39:24 According to their uncleanness and  according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and  hid my face from them. 

Ezekiel 39:25 Therefore thus saith the  Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob,  and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be  jealous for my holy name; 

Ezekiel 39:26 After that they have  borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they  have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their  land, and none made them afraid. 

Ezekiel 39:27 When I have  brought them again from the people, and gathered them out  of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the  sight of many nations; 

Ezekiel 39:28 Then shall they know that I  am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into  captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto  their own land, and have left none of them any more there.  

Ezekiel 39:29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them:  for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel,  saith the Lord GOD.  

Ezekiel 40:1 In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in  the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in  the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the  selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and  brought me thither. 

Ezekiel 40:2 In the visions of God brought he  me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high  mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the  south. 

Ezekiel 40:3 And he brought me thither, and, behold,  there was a man, whose appearance was like the  appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a  measuring reed; and he stood in the gate. 

Ezekiel 40:4 And the  man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and  hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall  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. 

Ezekiel 40:5 And behold a wall on the outside  of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a  measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand  breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one  reed; and the height, one reed.  

Ezekiel 40:6 Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward  the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the  threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad; and the  other threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad.  

Ezekiel 40:7 And every little chamber was one reed long, and  one reed broad; and between the little chambers were five  cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate  within was one reed. 

Ezekiel 40:8 He measured also the porch  of the gate within, one reed. 

Ezekiel 40:9 Then measured he the  porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two  cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward. 

Ezekiel 40:10 And  the little chambers of the gate eastward were three on this    

Ezekiel Page 506   side, and three on that side; they three were of one  measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on  that side. 

Ezekiel 40:11 And he measured the breadth of the entry  of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen  cubits. 

Ezekiel 40:12 The space also before the little chambers  was one cubit on this side, and the space was one cubit  on that side: and the little chambers were six cubits on this  side, and six cubits on that side. 

Ezekiel 40:13 He measured then  the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of  another: the breadth was five and twenty cubits, door  against door. 

Ezekiel 40:14 He made also posts of threescore  cubits, even unto the post of the court round about the gate.   

Ezekiel 40:15 And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto  the face of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits.  

Ezekiel 40:16 And there were narrow windows to the little  chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about,  and likewise to the arches: and windows were round about  inward: and upon each post were palm trees. 

Ezekiel 40:17  Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, there  were chambers, and a pavement made for the court round  about: thirty chambers were upon the pavement. 

Ezekiel 40:18  And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the  length of the gates was the lower pavement. 

Ezekiel 40:19 Then  he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate  unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred  cubits eastward and northward.  

Ezekiel 40:20 And the gate of the outward court that looked  toward the north, he measured the length thereof, and the  breadth thereof. 

Ezekiel 40:21 And the little chambers thereof  were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts  thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the  first gate: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the  breadth five and twenty cubits. 

Ezekiel 40:22 And their windows,  and their arches, and their palm trees, were after the  measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and they  went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof  were before them. 

Ezekiel 40:23 And the gate of the inner court  was over against the gate toward the north, and toward the  east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits.  

Ezekiel 40:24 After that he brought me toward the south, and  behold a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts  thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures.  

Ezekiel 40:25 And there were windows in it and in the arches  thereof round about, like those windows: the length was  fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits. 

Ezekiel 40:26  And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches  thereof were before them: and it had palm trees, one on  this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof.  

Ezekiel 40:27 And there was a gate in the inner court toward the  south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south  an hundred cubits. 

Ezekiel 40:28 And he brought me to the inner  court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate  according to these measures; 

Ezekiel 40:29 And the little  chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches  thereof, according to these measures: and there were  windows in it and in the arches thereof round about: it was  fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad. 

Ezekiel 40:30  And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits  long, and five cubits broad. 

Ezekiel 40:31 And the arches thereof  were toward the utter court; and palm trees were upon  the posts thereof: and the going up to it had eight steps.  

Ezekiel 40:32 And he brought me into the inner court toward  the east: and he measured the gate according to these  measures. 

Ezekiel 40:33 And the little chambers thereof, and the  posts thereof, and the arches thereof, were according to  these measures: and there were windows therein and in the  arches thereof round about: it was fifty cubits long, and  five and twenty cubits broad. 

Ezekiel 40:34 And the arches  thereof were toward the outward court; and palm trees  were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side:  and the going up to it had eight steps. 

Ezekiel 40:35 And he  brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to  these measures; 

Ezekiel 40:36 The little chambers thereof, the  posts thereof, and the arches thereof, and the windows to it  round about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth  five and twenty cubits. 

Ezekiel 40:37 And the posts thereof  were toward the utter court; and palm trees were upon  the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the  going up to it had eight steps. 

Ezekiel 40:38 And the chambers  and the entries thereof were by the posts of the gates,  where they washed the burnt offering.   

Ezekiel 40:39 And in the porch of the gate were two tables on  this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the  burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.  

Ezekiel 40:40 And at the side without, as one goeth up to the  entry of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other  side, which was at the porch of the gate, were two tables.  

Ezekiel 40:41 Four tables were on this side, and four tables on  that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon  they slew their sacrifices. 

Ezekiel 40:42 And the four tables  were of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and  an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit  high: whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith  they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice. 

Ezekiel 40:43 And  within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about:  and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.  

Ezekiel 40:44 And without the inner gate were the chambers  of the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of  the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south:  one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward  the north. 

Ezekiel 40:45 And he said unto me, This chamber,  whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the  keepers of the charge of the house. 

Ezekiel 40:46 And the  chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the  priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the  sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to  the LORD to minister unto him. 

Ezekiel 40:47 So he measured  the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits  broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the house.  

Ezekiel 40:48 And he brought me to the porch of the house, and  measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side,  and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate  was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.  

Ezekiel 40:49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and  the breadth eleven cubits; and he brought me by the steps  whereby they went up to it: and there were pillars by the  posts, one on this side, and another on that side.  

Ezekiel 41:1 Afterward he brought me to the temple, and  measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six  cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of  the tabernacle. 

Ezekiel 41:2 And the breadth of the door was ten  cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the  one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured  the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty  cubits. 

Ezekiel 41:3 Then went he inward, and measured the post  of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the  breadth of the door, seven cubits. 

Ezekiel 41:4 So he measured  the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty  cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the  most holy place. 

Ezekiel 41:5 After he measured the wall of the  house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber,    Page 507 

Ezekiel   four cubits, round about the house on every side. 

Ezekiel 41:6  And the side chambers were three, one over another, and  thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of  the house for the side chambers round about, that they  might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the  house. 

Ezekiel 41:7 And there was an enlarging, and a winding  about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding  about of the house went still upward round about the house:  therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so  increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the  midst. 

Ezekiel 41:8 I saw also the height of the house round  about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full  reed of six great cubits. 

Ezekiel 41:9 The thickness of the wall,  which was for the side chamber without, was five cubits:  and that which was left was the place of the side  chambers that were within. 

Ezekiel 41:10 And between the  chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round about  the house on every side. 

Ezekiel 41:11 And the doors of the side  chambers were toward the place that was left, one door  toward the north, and another door toward the south: and  the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round  about. 

Ezekiel 41:12 Now the building that was before the  separate place at the end toward the west was seventy  cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits  thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits.   

Ezekiel 41:13 So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long;  and the separate place, and the building, with the walls  thereof, an hundred cubits long; 

Ezekiel 41:14 Also the breadth of  the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the  east, an hundred cubits. 

Ezekiel 41:15 And he measured the  length of the building over against the separate place which  was behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and  on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple,  and the porches of the court; 

Ezekiel 41:16 The door posts, and  the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their  three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood round  about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the  windows were covered; 

Ezekiel 41:17 To that above the door,  even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall  round about within and without, by measure. 

Ezekiel 41:18 And  it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm  tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every  cherub had two faces; 

Ezekiel 41:19 So that the face of a man  was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a  young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: it was  made through all the house round about. 

Ezekiel 41:20 From the  ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm  trees made, and on the wall of the temple. 

Ezekiel 41:21 The  posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the  sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of  the other. 

Ezekiel 41:22 The altar of wood was three cubits  high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners  thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were  of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is  before the LORD. 

Ezekiel 41:23 And the temple and the  sanctuary had two doors. 

Ezekiel 41:24 And the doors had two  leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one  door, and two leaves for the other door. 

Ezekiel 41:25 And  there were made on them, on the doors of the temple,  cherubims and palm trees, like as were made upon the  walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the  porch without. 

Ezekiel 41:26 And there were narrow windows  and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the  sides of the porch, and upon the side chambers of the  house, and thick planks.  

Ezekiel 42:1 Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the  way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber  that was over against the separate place, and which was  before the building toward the north. 

Ezekiel 42:2 Before the  length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and the  breadth was fifty cubits. 

Ezekiel 42:3 Over against the twenty  cubits which were for the inner court, and over against  the pavement which was for the utter court, was gallery  against gallery in three stories. 

Ezekiel 42:4 And before the  chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way  of one cubit; and their doors toward the north. 

Ezekiel 42:5 Now  the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were  higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost  of the building. 

Ezekiel 42:6 For they were in three stories, but  had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the  building was straitened more than the lowest and the  middlemost from the ground. 

Ezekiel 42:7 And the wall that  was without over against the chambers, toward the utter  court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof  was fifty cubits. 

Ezekiel 42:8 For the length of the chambers  that were in the utter court was fifty cubits: and, lo,  before the temple were an hundred cubits. 

Ezekiel 42:9 And  from under these chambers was the entry on the east side,  as one goeth into them from the utter court. 

Ezekiel 42:10 The  chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court  toward the east, over against the separate place, and over  against the building. 

Ezekiel 42:11 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. 

Ezekiel 42:12 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.   

Ezekiel 42:13 Then said he unto me, The north chambers and  the south chambers, which are before the separate place,  they be holy chambers, where the priests that approach  unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall  they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, and the  sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is  holy. 

Ezekiel 42:14 When the priests enter therein, then shall they  not go out of the holy place into the utter court, but there  they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they  are holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall  approach to those things which are for the people.  

Ezekiel 42:15 Now when he had made an end of measuring the  inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose  prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about.  

Ezekiel 42:16 He measured the east side with the measuring reed,  five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.  

Ezekiel 42:17 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds,  with the measuring reed round about. 

Ezekiel 42:18 He measured  the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.  

Ezekiel 42:19 He turned about to the west side, and measured  five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. 

Ezekiel 42:20 He  measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five  hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a  separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.  

Ezekiel 43:1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the  gate that looketh toward the east: 

Ezekiel 43:2 And, behold, the  glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east:  and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the  earth shined with his glory. 

Ezekiel 43:3 And it was according  to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even  according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy  the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by  the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face. 

Ezekiel 43:4 And the  glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the    

Ezekiel Page 508   gate whose prospect is toward the east. 

Ezekiel 43:5 So the  spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and,  behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house. 

Ezekiel 43:6 And  I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the  man stood by me.   

Ezekiel 43:7 And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my  throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will  dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my  holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither  they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the  carcases of their kings in their high places. 

Ezekiel 43:8 In their  setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by  my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have  even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they  have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine  anger. 

Ezekiel 43:9 Now let them put away their whoredom, and  the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in  the midst of them for ever.  

Ezekiel 43:10 Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of  Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let  them measure the pattern. 

Ezekiel 43:11 And if they be ashamed  of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house,  and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the  comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the  ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the  laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep  the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and  do them. 

Ezekiel 43:12 This is the law of the house; Upon the  top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about  shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.  

Ezekiel 43:13 And these are the measures of the altar after the  cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the  bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the  border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a  span: and this shall be the higher place of the altar.  

Ezekiel 43:14 And from the bottom upon the ground even to  the lower settle shall be two cubits, and the breadth one  cubit; and from the lesser settle even to the greater settle  shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit. 

Ezekiel 43:15  So the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and  upward shall be four horns. 

Ezekiel 43:16 And the altar shall  be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in the four  squares thereof. 

Ezekiel 43:17 And the settle shall be fourteen  cubits long and fourteen broad in the four squares thereof;  and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the  bottom thereof shall be a cubit about; and his stairs shall  look toward the east. 

Ezekiel 43:18 And he said unto me, Son of  man, thus saith the Lord GOD; These are the ordinances  of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt  offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon. 

Ezekiel 43:19  And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the  seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto  me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin offering.  

Ezekiel 43:20 And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put  it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the  settle, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou  cleanse and purge it. 

Ezekiel 43:21 Thou shalt take the bullock  also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed  place of the house, without the sanctuary. 

Ezekiel 43:22 And on  the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without  blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar,  as they did cleanse it with the bullock. 

Ezekiel 43:23 When thou  hast made an end of cleansing it, thou shalt offer a young  bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without  blemish. 

Ezekiel 43:24 And thou shalt offer them before the  LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they  shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the LORD.  

Ezekiel 43:25 Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat  for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock,  and a ram out of the flock, without blemish. 

Ezekiel 43:26 Seven  days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall  consecrate themselves. 

Ezekiel 43:27 And when these days are  expired, it shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so  forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon  the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you,  saith the Lord GOD.  

Ezekiel 44:1 Then he brought me back the way of the gate of  the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it  was shut. 

Ezekiel 44:2 Then said the LORD unto me; This gate  shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter  in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered  in by it, therefore it shall be shut. 

Ezekiel 44:3 It is for the  prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the  LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate,  and shall go out by the way of the same.  

Ezekiel 44:4 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. 

Ezekiel 44:5 And the LORD said unto me, Son of man,  mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine  ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of  the house of the LORD, and all the laws thereof; and mark  well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of  the sanctuary. 

Ezekiel 44:6 And thou shalt say to the rebellious,  even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O  ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your  abominations, 

Ezekiel 44:7 In that ye have brought into my  sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and  uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it,  even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the  blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all  your abominations. 

Ezekiel 44:8 And ye have not kept the charge  of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in  my sanctuary for yourselves.  

Ezekiel 44:9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger,  uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall  enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the  children of Israel. 

Ezekiel 44:10 And the Levites that are gone  away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went  astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear  their iniquity. 

Ezekiel 44:11 Yet they shall be ministers in my  sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and  ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering  and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before  them to minister unto them. 

Ezekiel 44:12 Because they  ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the  house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up  mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall  bear their iniquity. 

Ezekiel 44:13 And they shall not come near  unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come  near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but  they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which  they have committed. 

Ezekiel 44:14 But I will make them keepers  of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and  for all that shall be done therein.  

Ezekiel 44:15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok,  that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of  Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to  minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer  unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD: 

Ezekiel 44:16  They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come  near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep    Page 509 

Ezekiel   my charge.   

Ezekiel 44:17 And it shall come to pass, that when they enter  in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with  linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles  they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.  

Ezekiel 44:18 They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads,  and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not  gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat.  

Ezekiel 44:19 And when they go forth into the utter court, even  into the utter court to the people, they shall put off their  garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy  chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they  shall not sanctify the people with their garments.

Ezekiel 46:2 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. 

Ezekiel 46:3 Likewise the people of the land shall  worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the  sabbaths and in the new moons. 

Ezekiel 46:4 And the burnt  offering that the prince shall offer unto the LORD in the  sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram  without blemish.

Ezekiel 46:8 And when the  prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of  that gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof.   

Ezekiel 46:9 But when the people of the land shall come before  the LORD in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the  way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of  the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south  gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not  return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall  go forth over against it. 

Ezekiel 46:10 And the prince in the midst  of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go  forth, shall go forth.

Ezekiel 46:12 Now when the prince  shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings  voluntarily unto the LORD, one shall then open him the  gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his  burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the  sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth  one shall shut the gate. 

Ezekiel 46:13 Thou shalt daily prepare a  burnt offering unto the LORD of a lamb of the first year  without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning.  

Ezekiel 46:14 And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every  morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an  hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a meat offering  continually by a perpetual ordinance unto the LORD.

Ezekiel 46:16 Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift  unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his  sons’; it shall be their possession by inheritance. 

Ezekiel 46:17  But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants,  then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall return  to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons’ for them.  

Ezekiel 46:18 Moreover the prince shall not take of the people’s  inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their  possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his  own possession: that my people be not scattered every man  from his possession.  

Ezekiel 46:19 After he brought me through the entry, which  was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the  priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there  was a place on the two sides westward. 

Ezekiel 46:20 Then said  he unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the  trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake  the meat offering; that they bear them not out into the utter  court, to sanctify the people. 

Ezekiel 46:21 Then he brought me  forth into the utter court, and caused me to pass by the four  corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the  court there was a court. 

Ezekiel 46:22 In the four corners of the  court there were courts joined of forty cubits long and  thirty broad: these four corners were of one measure.   

Ezekiel 46:23 And there was a row of building round about in  them, round about them four, and it was made with boiling  places under the rows round about. 

Ezekiel 46:24 Then said he  unto me, These are the places of them that boil, where the  ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.  

Ezekiel 47:1 Afterward he brought me again unto the door of  the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the  threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the  house stood toward the east, and the waters came down  from under from the right side of the house, at the south  side of the altar. 

Ezekiel 47:2 Then brought he me out of the  way of the gate northward, and led me about the way  without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh  eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.  

Ezekiel 47:3 And when the man that had the line in his hand went  forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he  brought me through the waters; the waters were to the  ancles. 

Ezekiel 47:4 Again he measured a thousand, and brought  me through the waters; the waters were to the knees.  Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the  waters were to the loins. 

Ezekiel 47:5 Afterward he measured a  thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for  the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could  not be passed over.  

Ezekiel 47:6 And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen  this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the  brink of the river. 

Ezekiel 47:7 Now when I had returned, behold,  at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one  side and on the other. 

Ezekiel 47:8 Then said he unto me, These  waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into  the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth  into the sea, the waters shall be healed. 

Ezekiel 47:9 And it shall  come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth,  whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there  shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters  shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing  shall live whither the river cometh. 

Ezekiel 47:10 And it shall  come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi  even unto En-eglaim; they shall be a place to spread  forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the  fish of the great sea, exceeding many. 

Ezekiel 47:11 But the miry  places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed;  they shall be given to salt. 

Ezekiel 47:12 And by the river upon  the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all  trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the  fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit  according to his months, because their waters they issued  out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat,  and the leaf thereof for medicine.  

Ezekiel 47:13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall be the  border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the  twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.  

Ezekiel 47:14 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another:  concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto  your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for  inheritance. 

Ezekiel 47:15 And this shall be the border of the  land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of  Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;
