The Prophet Ezekiel

Literal Standard Version :: World English Bible Catholic

- Chapter 11 -

1
And [the] Spirit lifts me up, and it brings me to the east gate of the house of YHWH, that is facing the east, and behold, at the opening of the gate [are] twenty-five men, and I see in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur, and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, heads of the people.
2
And He says to me, “Son of man, these [are] the men who are devising iniquity, and who are giving evil counsel in this city;
3
who are saying, It [is] not nearto build houses, it [is] the pot, and we [are] the flesh.
4
Therefore prophesy concerning them, prophesy, son of man.”
5
And [the] Spirit of YHWH falls on me, and He says to me, “Say, Thus said YHWH: You have said correctly, O house of Israel, || And I have known the steps of your spirit.
6
You multiplied your wounded in this city, || And filled its out-places with the wounded.
7
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Your wounded whom you placed in its midst, || They [are] the flesh, and it [is] the pot, || And He has brought you out from its midst.
8
You have feared a sword, || And I bring in a sword against you, || A declaration of Lord YHWH.
9
And I have brought you out of its midst, || And given you into the hand of strangers, || And I have done judgments among you.
10
You fall by the sword, || I judge you on the border of Israel, || And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
11
It is not for a pot for you, || Nor are you for flesh in its midst, || I judge you at the border of Israel.
12
And you have known that I [am] YHWH, || For you have not walked in My statutes, || And you have not done My judgments, || And according to the judgments of the nations || Who are around you, you have done!”

A Promise of Restoration

(Jeremiah 32:36–44)
13
And it comes to pass, at my prophesying, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah is dying, and I fall on my face, and crya loud voiceand say, “Aah! Lord YHWH, You are making an end of the remnant of Israel.”
14
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
15
Son of man, your brothers, your brothers, men of your family, and all the house of Israelall of it—[are] they to whom inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Keep far off from YHWH;
16
it [is] ours, the land has been given for an inheritance; therefore say, Thus said Lord YHWH: Because I put them far off among nations, || And because I scattered them through lands, I am also for a little sanctuary to them, || In lands to where they have gone in.
17
Therefore say, Thus said Lord YHWH: And I have assembled you from the peoples, || And I have gathered you from the lands, || Into which you have been scattered, || And I have given the ground of Israel to you.
18
And they have gone in there, || And turned aside all its detestable things, || And all its abominationsout of it.
19
And I have given one heart to them, || And I give a new spirit in your midst, || And I have turned the heart of stone out of their flesh, || And I have given a heart of flesh to them.
20
So that they walk in My statutes, || And keep My judgments, and have done them, || And they have been to Me for a people, || And I am to them for God.
21
As for those whose heart is going to the heart || Of their detestable things and their abominations, || I have put their way on their head, || A declaration of Lord YHWH.”

God’s Glory Leaves Jerusalem

22
And the cherubim lift up their wings, and the wheels [are] alongside them, and the glory of the God of Israel [is] over them above.
23
And the glory of YHWH goes up from off the midst of the city, and stands on the mountain, that [is] on the east of the city.
24
And [the] Spirit has lifted me up, and brings me to Chaldea, to the expulsion, in a vision, by [the] Spirit of God, and the vision that I have seen goes up from off me;
25
and I speak to the expulsion all the matters of YHWH that He has showed me.
1
Moreover the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the LORD’s house, which looks eastward. Behold, twenty-five men were at the door of the gate; and I saw among them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
2
He said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;
3
who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses. This is the cauldron, and we are the meat.’
4
Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man.”
5
The LORD’s Spirit fell on me, and he said to me, “Speak, ‘The LORD says: “Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
6
You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.”
7
“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Your slain whom you have laid in the middle of it, they are the meat, and this is the cauldron; but you will be brought out of the middle of it.
8
You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,” says the Lord GOD.
9
I will bring you out of the middle of it, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
10
You will fall by the sword. I will judge you in the border of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
11
This will not be your cauldron, neither will you be the meat in the middle of it. I will judge you in the border of Israel.
12
You will know that I am the LORD, for you have not walked in my statutes. You have not executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you.”’”

A Promise of Restoration

(Jeremiah 32:36–44)
13
When I prophesied, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, “Ah Lord GOD! Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?”
14
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
15
Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, are the ones to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Go far away from the LORD. This land has been given to us for a possession.’
16
Therefore say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come.”’
17
Therefore say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.”
18
“‘They will come there, and they will take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there.
19
I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them. I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh,
20
that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
21
But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads,’ says the Lord GOD.”

God’s Glory Leaves Jerusalem

22
Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them. The glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
23
The LORD’s glory went up from the middle of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
24
The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to the captives. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
25
Then I spoke to the captives all the things that the LORD had shown me.
