Ezekiel 3:1

3:1

Moreover he said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

eat
<0398> (8798)

that thou findest
<04672> (8799)_;

eat
<0398> (8798)

this roll
<04039>_,

and go
<03212> (8798)

speak
<01696> (8761)

unto the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_.

Ezekiel 20:1--22:31

20:1

And it came to pass in the seventh
<07637>

year
<08141>_,

in the fifth
<02549>

[month], the tenth
<06218>

[day] of the month
<02320>_,

[that] certain
<0582>

of the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>

came
<0935> (8804)

to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and sat
<03427> (8799)

before
<06440>

me.

20:2

Then came the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

20:3

Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

speak
<01696> (8761)

unto the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Are ye come
<0935> (8802)

to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of me? [As] I live
<02416>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

I will not be enquired
<01875> (8735)

of by you.

20:4

Wilt thou judge
<08199> (8799)

them, son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

wilt thou judge
<08199> (8799)

[them]? cause them to know
<03045> (8685)

the abominations
<08441>

of their fathers
<01>_:

{Wilt...: or, Wilt thou plead for them}

20:5

And say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

In the day
<03117>

when I chose
<0977> (8800)

Israel
<03478>_,

and lifted up
<05375> (8799)

mine hand
<03027>

unto the seed
<02233>

of the house
<01004>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

and made myself known
<03045> (8735)

unto them in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

when I lifted
<05375> (8799)

up mine hand
<03027>

unto them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_;

{lifted...: or, sware}

20:6

In the day
<03117>

[that] I lifted up
<05375> (8804)

mine hand
<03027>

unto them, to bring them forth
<03318> (8687)

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

into a land
<0776>

that I had espied
<08446> (8804)

for them, flowing
<02100> (8802)

with milk
<02461>

and honey
<01706>_,

which [is] the glory
<06643>

of all lands
<0776>_:

20:7

Then said
<0559> (8799)

I unto them, Cast ye away
<07993> (8685)

every man
<0376>

the abominations
<08251>

of his eyes
<05869>_,

and defile
<02930> (8691)

not yourselves with the idols
<01544>

of Egypt
<04714>_:

I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

20:8

But they rebelled
<04784> (8686)

against me, and would
<014> (8804)

not hearken
<08085> (8800)

unto me: they did not every man
<0376>

cast away
<07993> (8689)

the abominations
<08251>

of their eyes
<05869>_,

neither did they forsake
<05800> (8804)

the idols
<01544>

of Egypt
<04714>_:

then I said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will pour out
<08210> (8800)

my fury
<02534>

upon them, to accomplish
<03615> (8763)

my anger
<0639>

against them in the midst
<08432>

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

20:9

But I wrought
<06213> (8799)

for my name's
<08034>

sake, that it should not be polluted
<02490> (8736)

before
<05869>

the heathen
<01471>_,

among
<08432>

whom they [were], in whose sight
<05869>

I made myself known
<03045> (8738)

unto them, in bringing them forth
<03318> (8687)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

20:10

Wherefore I caused them to go forth
<03318> (8686)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

them into the wilderness
<04057>_.

20:11

And I gave
<05414> (8799)

them my statutes
<02708>_,

and shewed
<03045> (8689)

them my judgments
<04941>_,

which [if] a man
<0120>

do
<06213> (8799)_,

he shall even live
<02425> (8804)

in them. {shewed...: Heb. made them to know}

20:12

Moreover also I gave
<05414> (8804)

them my sabbaths
<07676>_,

to be a sign
<0226>

between me and them, that they might know
<03045> (8800)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>

that sanctify
<06942> (8764)

them.

20:13

But the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

rebelled
<04784> (8686)

against me in the wilderness
<04057>_:

they walked
<01980> (8804)

not in my statutes
<02708>_,

and they despised
<03988> (8804)

my judgments
<04941>_,

which [if] a man
<0120>

do
<06213> (8799)_,

he shall even live
<02425> (8804)

in them; and my sabbaths
<07676>

they greatly
<03966>

polluted
<02490> (8765)_:

then I said
<0559> (8799)_,

I would pour out
<08210> (8800)

my fury
<02534>

upon them in the wilderness
<04057>_,

to consume
<03615> (8763)

them.

20:14

But I wrought
<06213> (8799)

for my name's
<08034>

sake, that it should not be polluted
<02490> (8736)

before
<05869>

the heathen
<01471>_,

in whose sight
<05869>

I brought them out
<03318> (8689)_.

20:15

Yet also I lifted up
<05375> (8804)

my hand
<03027>

unto them in the wilderness
<04057>_,

that I would not bring
<0935> (8687)

them into the land
<0776>

which I had given
<05414> (8804)

[them], flowing
<02100> (8802)

with milk
<02461>

and honey
<01706>_,

which [is] the glory
<06643>

of all lands
<0776>_;

20:16

Because they despised
<03988> (8804)

my judgments
<04941>_,

and walked
<01980> (8804)

not in my statutes
<02708>_,

but polluted
<02490> (8765)

my sabbaths
<07676>_:

for their heart
<03820>

went
<01980> (8802)

after
<0310>

their idols
<01544>_.

20:17

Nevertheless mine eye
<05869>

spared
<02347> (8799)

them from destroying
<07843> (8763)

them, neither did I make
<06213> (8804)

an end
<03617>

of them in the wilderness
<04057>_.

20:18

But I said
<0559> (8799)

unto their children
<01121>

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

Walk
<03212> (8799)

ye not in the statutes
<02706>

of your fathers
<01>_,

neither observe
<08104> (8799)

their judgments
<04941>_,

nor defile
<02930> (8691)

yourselves with their idols
<01544>_:

20:19

I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_;

walk
<03212> (8798)

in my statutes
<02708>_,

and keep
<08104> (8798)

my judgments
<04941>_,

and do
<06213> (8798)

them;

20:20

And hallow
<06942> (8761)

my sabbaths
<07676>_;

and they shall be a sign
<0226>

between me and you, that ye may know
<03045> (8800)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

20:21

Notwithstanding the children
<01121>

rebelled
<04784> (8686)

against me: they walked
<01980> (8804)

not in my statutes
<02708>_,

neither kept
<08104> (8804)

my judgments
<04941>

to do
<06213> (8800)

them, which [if] a man
<0120>

do
<06213> (8799)_,

he shall even live
<02425> (8804)

in them; they polluted
<02490> (8765)

my sabbaths
<07676>_:

then I said
<0559> (8799)_,

I would pour out
<08210> (8800)

my fury
<02534>

upon them, to accomplish
<03615> (8763)

my anger
<0639>

against them in the wilderness
<04057>_.

20:22

Nevertheless I withdrew
<07725> (8689)

mine hand
<03027>_,

and wrought
<06213> (8799)

for my name's
<08034>

sake, that it should not be polluted
<02490> (8736)

in the sight
<05869>

of the heathen
<01471>_,

in whose sight
<05869>

I brought them forth
<03318> (8689)_.

20:23

I lifted up
<05375> (8804)

mine hand
<03027>

unto them also in the wilderness
<04057>_,

that I would scatter
<06327> (8687)

them among the heathen
<01471>_,

and disperse
<02219> (8763)

them through the countries
<0776>_;

20:24

Because they had not executed
<06213> (8804)

my judgments
<04941>_,

but had despised
<03988> (8804)

my statutes
<02708>_,

and had polluted
<02490> (8765)

my sabbaths
<07676>_,

and their eyes
<05869>

were after
<0310>

their fathers
<01>_'

idols
<01544>_.

20:25

Wherefore I gave
<05414> (8804)

them also statutes
<02706>

[that were] not good
<02896>_,

and judgments
<04941>

whereby they should not live
<02421> (8799)_;

20:26

And I polluted
<02930> (8762)

them in their own gifts
<04979>_,

in that they caused to pass through
<05674> (8687)

[the fire] all that openeth
<06363>

the womb
<07356>_,

that I might make them desolate
<08074> (8686)_,

to the end that they might know
<03045> (8799)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

20:27

Therefore, son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

speak
<01696> (8761)

unto the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Yet in this your fathers
<01>

have blasphemed
<01442> (8765)

me, in that they have committed
<04603> (8800)

a trespass
<04604>

against me. {committed...: Heb. trespassed a trespass}

20:28

[For] when I had brought
<0935> (8686)

them into the land
<0776>_,

[for] the which I lifted up
<05375> (8804)

mine hand
<03027>

to give
<05414> (8800)

it to them, then they saw
<07200> (8799)

every high
<07311> (8802)

hill
<01389>_,

and all the thick
<05687>

trees
<06086>_,

and they offered
<02076> (8799)

there their sacrifices
<02077>_,

and there they presented
<05414> (8799)

the provocation
<03708>

of their offering
<07133>_:

there also they made
<07760> (8799)

their sweet
<05207>

savour
<07381>_,

and poured out
<05258> (8686)

there their drink offerings
<05262>_.

20:29

Then I said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, What [is] the high place
<01116>

whereunto ye go
<0935> (8802)_?

And the name
<08034>

thereof is called
<07121> (8735)

Bamah
<01117>

unto this day
<03117>_.

{I said...: or, I told them what the high place was, or, Bamah}

20:30

Wherefore say
<0559> (8798)

unto the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Are ye polluted
<02930> (8737)

after the manner
<01870>

of your fathers
<01>_?

and commit ye whoredom
<02181> (8802)

after
<0310>

their abominations
<08251>_?

20:31

For when ye offer
<05375> (8800)

your gifts
<04979>_,

when ye make your sons
<01121>

to pass through
<05674> (8687)

the fire
<0784>_,

ye pollute
<02930> (8737)

yourselves with all your idols
<01544>_,

even unto this day
<03117>_:

and shall I be enquired
<01875> (8735)

of by you, O house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_?

[As] I live
<02416>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

I will not be enquired
<01875> (8735)

of by you.

20:32

And that which cometh
<05927> (8802)

into your mind
<07307>

shall not be at all, that ye say
<0559> (8802)_,

We will be
<01961> (8799)

as the heathen
<01471>_,

as the families
<04940>

of the countries
<0776>_,

to serve
<08334> (8763)

wood
<06086>

and stone
<068>_.

20:33

[As] I live
<02416>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

surely with a mighty
<02389>

hand
<03027>_,

and with a stretched out
<05186> (8803)

arm
<02220>_,

and with fury
<02534>

poured out
<08210> (8803)_,

will I rule
<04427> (8799)

over you:

20:34

And I will bring you out
<03318> (8689)

from the people
<05971>_,

and will gather
<06908> (8765)

you out of the countries
<0776>

wherein ye are scattered
<06327> (8738)_,

with a mighty
<02389>

hand
<03027>_,

and with a stretched out
<05186> (8803)

arm
<02220>_,

and with fury
<02534>

poured out
<08210> (8803)_.

20:35

And I will bring
<0935> (8689)

you into the wilderness
<04057>

of the people
<05971>_,

and there will I plead
<08199> (8738)

with you face
<06440>

to face
<06440>_.

20:36

Like as I pleaded
<08199> (8738)

with your fathers
<01>

in the wilderness
<04057>

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

so will I plead
<08199> (8735)

with you, saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

20:37

And I will cause you to pass
<05674> (8689)

under the rod
<07626>_,

and I will bring
<0935> (8689)

you into the bond
<04562>

of the covenant
<01285>_:

{bond: or, delivering}

20:38

And I will purge out
<01305> (8804)

from among you the rebels
<04775> (8802)_,

and them that transgress
<06586> (8802)

against me: I will bring them forth
<03318> (8686)

out of the country
<0776>

where they sojourn
<04033>_,

and they shall not enter
<0935> (8799)

into the land
<0127>

of Israel
<03478>_:

and ye shall know
<03045> (8804)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

20:39

As for you, O house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Go
<03212> (8798)

ye, serve
<05647> (8798)

ye every one
<0376>

his idols
<01544>_,

and hereafter
<0310>

[also], if ye will not hearken
<08085> (8802)

unto me: but pollute
<02490> (8762)

ye my holy
<06944>

name
<08034>

no more with your gifts
<04979>_,

and with your idols
<01544>_.

20:40

For in mine holy
<06944>

mountain
<02022>_,

in the mountain
<02022>

of the height
<04791>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

there shall all the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

all of them in the land
<0776>_,

serve
<05647> (8799)

me: there will I accept
<07521> (8799)

them, and there will I require
<01875> (8799)

your offerings
<08641>_,

and the firstfruits
<07225>

of your oblations
<04864>_,

with all your holy things
<06944>_.

{firstfruits: or, chief}

20:41

I will accept
<07521> (8799)

you with your sweet
<05207>

savour
<07381>_,

when I bring you out
<03318> (8687)

from the people
<05971>_,

and gather
<06908> (8765)

you out of the countries
<0776>

wherein ye have been scattered
<06327> (8738)_;

and I will be sanctified
<06942> (8738)

in you before
<05869>

the heathen
<01471>_.

{sweet...: Heb. savour of rest}

20:42

And ye shall know
<03045> (8804)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,

when I shall bring
<0935> (8687)

you into the land
<0127>

of Israel
<03478>_,

into the country
<0776>

[for] the which I lifted up
<05375> (8804)

mine hand
<03027>

to give
<05414> (8800)

it to your fathers
<01>_.

20:43

And there shall ye remember
<02142> (8804)

your ways
<01870>_,

and all your doings
<05949>_,

wherein ye have been defiled
<02930> (8738)_;

and ye shall lothe
<06962> (8738)

yourselves in your own sight
<06440>

for all your evils
<07451>

that ye have committed
<06213> (8804)_.

20:44

And ye shall know
<03045> (8804)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,

when I have wrought
<06213> (8800)

with you for my name's
<08034>

sake, not according to your wicked
<07451>

ways
<01870>_,

nor according to your corrupt
<07843> (8737)

doings
<05949>_,

O ye house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

20:45

Moreover the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

20:46

Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

set
<07760> (8798)

thy face
<06440>

toward
<01870>

the south
<08486>_,

and drop
<05197> (8685)

[thy word] toward the south
<01864>_,

and prophesy
<05012> (8734)

against the forest
<03293>

of the south
<05045>

field
<07704>_;

20:47

And say
<0559> (8804)

to the forest
<03293>

of the south
<05045>_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Behold, I will kindle
<03341> (8688)

a fire
<0784>

in thee, and it shall devour
<0398> (8804)

every green
<03892>

tree
<06086>

in thee, and every dry
<03002>

tree
<06086>_:

the flaming
<03852>

flame
<07957>

shall not be quenched
<03518> (8799)_,

and all faces
<06440>

from the south
<05045>

to the north
<06828>

shall be burned
<06866> (8738)

therein.

20:48

And all flesh
<01320>

shall see
<07200> (8804)

that I the LORD
<03068>

have kindled
<01197> (8765)

it: it shall not be quenched
<03518> (8799)_.

20:49

Then said
<0559> (8799)

I, Ah
<0162>

Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_!

they say
<0559> (8802)

of me, Doth he not speak
<04911> (8764)

parables
<04912>_?

21:1

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

21:2

Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

set
<07760> (8798)

thy face
<06440>

toward Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and drop
<05197> (8685)

[thy word] toward the holy places
<04720>_,

and prophesy
<05012> (8734)

against the land
<0127>

of Israel
<03478>_,

21:3

And say
<0559> (8804)

to the land
<0127>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Behold, I [am] against thee, and will draw forth
<03318> (8689)

my sword
<02719>

out of his sheath
<08593>_,

and will cut off
<03772> (8689)

from thee the righteous
<06662>

and the wicked
<07563>_.

21:4

Seeing
<03282>

then that I will cut off
<03772> (8689)

from thee the righteous
<06662>

and the wicked
<07563>_,

therefore shall my sword
<02719>

go forth
<03318> (8799)

out of his sheath
<08593>

against all flesh
<01320>

from the south
<05045>

to the north
<06828>_:

21:5

That all flesh
<01320>

may know
<03045> (8804)

that I the LORD
<03068>

have drawn forth
<03318> (8689)

my sword
<02719>

out of his sheath
<08593>_:

it shall not return
<07725> (8799)

any more.

21:6

Sigh
<0584> (8734)

therefore, thou son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

with the breaking
<07670>

of [thy] loins
<04975>_;

and with bitterness
<04814>

sigh
<0584> (8735)

before their eyes
<05869>_.

21:7

And it shall be, when they say
<0559> (8799)

unto thee, Wherefore sighest
<0584> (8737)

thou? that thou shalt answer
<0559> (8804)_,

For the tidings
<08052>_;

because it cometh
<0935> (8802)_:

and every heart
<03820>

shall melt
<04549> (8738)_,

and all hands
<03027>

shall be feeble
<07503> (8804)_,

and every spirit
<07307>

shall faint
<03543> (8765)_,

and all knees
<01290>

shall be weak
<03212> (8799)

[as] water
<04325>_:

behold, it cometh
<0935> (8802)_,

and shall be brought to pass
<01961> (8738)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

{shall be weak...: Heb. shall go into water}

21:8

Again the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

21:9

Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

prophesy
<05012> (8734)_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Say
<0559> (8798)_,

A sword
<02719>_,

a sword
<02719>

is sharpened
<02300> (8717)_,

and also furbished
<04803> (8803)_:

21:10

It is sharpened
<02300> (8717)

to make a sore
<02874>

slaughter
<02873> (8800)_;

it is furbished
<04178> (8794)

that it may glitter
<01300>_:

should
<0176>

we then make mirth
<07797> (8799)_?

it contemneth
<03988> (8802)

the rod
<07626>

of my son
<01121>_,

[as] every tree
<06086>_.

{it contemneth...: or, it is the rod of my son, it despiseth every tree}

21:11

And he hath given
<05414> (8799)

it to be furbished
<04803> (8800)_,

that it may be handled
<03709> <08610> (8800)_:

this sword
<02719>

is sharpened
<02300> (8717)_,

and it is furbished
<04178> (8794)_,

to give
<05414> (8800)

it into the hand
<03027>

of the slayer
<02026> (8802)_.

21:12

Cry
<02199> (8798)

and howl
<03213> (8685)_,

son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_:

for it shall be upon my people
<05971>_,

it [shall be] upon all the princes
<05387>

of Israel
<03478>_:

terrors
<04048> (8803)

by reason of
<0413>

the sword
<02719>

shall be upon my people
<05971>_:

smite
<05606> (8798)

therefore upon [thy] thigh
<03409>_.

{terrors...: or, they are thrust down to the sword with my people}

21:13

Because [it is] a trial
<0974> (8795)_,

and what if [the sword] contemn
<03988> (8802)

even the rod
<07626>_?

it shall be no [more], saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

{Because...: or, When the trial hath been, what then? shall they not also belong to the despising rod?}

21:14

Thou therefore, son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

prophesy
<05012> (8734)_,

and smite
<05221> (0)

[thine] hands
<03709> <03709>

together
<05221> (8685)_,

and let the sword
<02719>

be doubled
<03717> (8735)

the third
<07992>

time, the sword
<02719>

of the slain
<02491>_:

it [is] the sword
<02719>

of the great
<01419>

[men that are] slain
<02491>_,

which entereth into their privy chambers
<02314> (8802)_.

{hands...: Heb. hand to hand}

21:15

I have set
<05414> (8804)

the point
<019>

of the sword
<02719>

against all their gates
<08179>_,

that [their] heart
<03820>

may faint
<04127> (8800)_,

and [their] ruins
<04383>

be multiplied
<07235> (8687)_:

ah
<0253>_!

[it is] made
<06213> (8803)

bright
<01300>_,

[it is] wrapped up
<04593>

for the slaughter
<02874>_.

{point: or, glittering, or, fear} {wrapped up: or, sharpened}

21:16

Go thee one way or other
<0258> (8690)_,

[either] on
<07760> (8685)

the right hand
<03231> (8685)_,

[or] on the left
<08041> (8685)_,

whithersoever
<0575>

thy face
<06440>

[is] set
<03259> (8716)_.

{or on...: Heb. set thyself, take the left hand}

21:17

I will also smite
<05221> (8686)

mine hands
<03709>

together
<03709>_,

and I will cause my fury
<02534>

to rest
<05117> (8689)_:

I the LORD
<03068>

have said
<01696> (8765)

[it].

21:18

The word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me again, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

21:19

Also, thou son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

appoint
<07760> (8798)

thee two
<08147>

ways
<01870>_,

that the sword
<02719>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

may come
<0935> (8800)_:

both twain
<08147>

shall come forth
<03318> (8799)

out of one
<0259>

land
<0776>_:

and choose
<01254> (8761)

thou a place
<03027>_,

choose
<01254> (8761)

[it] at the head
<07218>

of the way
<01870>

to the city
<05892>_.

21:20

Appoint
<07760> (8799)

a way
<01870>_,

that the sword
<02719>

may come
<0935> (8800)

to Rabbath
<07237>

of the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>_,

and to Judah
<03063>

in Jerusalem
<03389>

the defenced
<01219> (8803)_.

21:21

For the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

stood
<05975> (8804)

at the parting
<0517>

of the way
<01870>_,

at the head
<07218>

of the two
<08147>

ways
<01870>_,

to use
<07080> (8800)

divination
<07081>_:

he made [his] arrows
<02671>

bright
<07043> (8773)_,

he consulted
<07592> (8804)

with images
<08655>_,

he looked
<07200> (8804)

in the liver
<03516>_.

{parting of: Heb. mother of} {arrows: or, knives} {images: Heb. teraphim}

21:22

At his right hand
<03225>

was the divination
<07081>

for Jerusalem
<03389>_,

to appoint
<07760> (8800)

captains
<03733>_,

to open
<06605> (8800)

the mouth
<06310>

in the slaughter
<07524>_,

to lift up
<07311> (8687)

the voice
<06963>

with shouting
<08643>_,

to appoint
<07760> (8800)

[battering] rams
<03733>

against the gates
<08179>_,

to cast
<08210> (8800)

a mount
<05550>_,

[and] to build
<01129> (8800)

a fort
<01785>_.

{captains: or, battering rams: Heb. rams}

21:23

And it shall be unto them as a false
<07723>

divination
<07080> (8800)

in their sight
<05869>_,

to them that have sworn
<07650> (8803)

oaths
<07621>_:

but he will call to remembrance
<02142> (8688)

the iniquity
<05771>_,

that they may be taken
<08610> (8736)_.

{to them...: or, for the oaths made unto them}

21:24

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Because ye have made your iniquity
<05771>

to be remembered
<02142> (8687)_,

in that your transgressions
<06588>

are discovered
<01540> (8736)_,

so that in all your doings
<05949>

your sins
<02403>

do appear
<07200> (8736)_;

because, [I say], that ye are come to remembrance
<02142> (8736)_,

ye shall be taken
<08610> (8735)

with the hand
<03709>_.

21:25

And thou, profane
<02491>

wicked
<07563>

prince
<05387>

of Israel
<03478>_,

whose day
<03117>

is come
<0935> (8804)_,

when
<06256>

iniquity
<05771>

[shall have] an end
<07093>_,

21:26

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Remove
<05493> (8685)

the diadem
<04701>_,

and take off
<07311> (8685)

the crown
<05850>_:

this [shall] not [be] the same
<02063>_:

exalt
<01361> (8687)

[him that is] low
<08217>_,

and abase
<08213> (8687)

[him that is] high
<01364>_.

21:27

I will overturn
<05754>_,

overturn
<05754>_,

it: and it shall be
<07760> (8799)

no [more], until he come
<0935> (8800)

whose right
<04941>

it is; and I will give
<05414> (8804)

it [him]. {I will overturn...: Heb. Perverted, perverted, perverted, will I make it}

21:28

And thou, son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

prophesy
<05012> (8734)

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

concerning the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>_,

and concerning their reproach
<02781>_;

even say
<0559> (8804)

thou, The sword
<02719>_,

the sword
<02719>

[is] drawn
<06605> (8803)_:

for the slaughter
<02874>

[it is] furbished
<04803> (8803)_,

to consume
<0398> (8687)

because of the glittering
<01300>_:

21:29

Whiles they see
<02372> (8800)

vanity
<07723>

unto thee, whiles they divine
<07080> (8800)

a lie
<03577>

unto thee, to bring
<05414> (8800)

thee upon the necks
<06677>

of [them that are] slain
<02491>_,

of the wicked
<07563>_,

whose day
<03117>

is come
<0935> (8804)_,

when
<06256>

their iniquity
<05771>

[shall have] an end
<07093>_.

21:30

Shall I cause [it] to return
<07725> (8685)

into his sheath
<08593>_?

I will judge
<08199> (8799)

thee in the place
<04725>

where thou wast created
<01254> (8738)_,

in the land
<0776>

of thy nativity
<04351>_.

{Shall...: or, Cause it to return}

21:31

And I will pour out
<08210> (8804)

mine indignation
<02195>

upon thee, I will blow
<06315> (8686)

against thee in the fire
<0784>

of my wrath
<05678>_,

and deliver
<05414> (8804)

thee into the hand
<03027>

of brutish
<01197> (8802)

men
<0582>_,

[and] skilful
<02796>

to destroy
<04889>_.

{brutish: or, burning}

21:32

Thou shalt be for fuel
<0402>

to the fire
<0784>_;

thy blood
<01818>

shall be in the midst
<08432>

of the land
<0776>_;

thou shalt be no [more] remembered
<02142> (8735)_:

for I the LORD
<03068>

have spoken
<01696> (8765)

[it].

22:1

Moreover the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

22:2

Now, thou son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

wilt thou judge
<08199> (8799)_,

wilt thou judge
<08199> (8799)

the bloody
<01818>

city
<05892>_?

yea, thou shalt shew
<03045> (8689)

her all her abominations
<08441>_.

{judge: or, plead for} {bloody...: Heb. city of bloods?} {shew her: Heb. make her know}

22:3

Then say
<0559> (8804)

thou, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

The city
<05892>

sheddeth
<08210> (8802)

blood
<01818>

in the midst
<08432>

of it, that her time
<06256>

may come
<0935> (8800)_,

and maketh
<06213> (8804)

idols
<01544>

against herself to defile
<02930> (8800)

herself.

22:4

Thou art become guilty
<0816> (8804)

in thy blood
<01818>

that thou hast shed
<08210> (8804)_;

and hast defiled
<02930> (8804)

thyself in thine idols
<01544>

which thou hast made
<06213> (8804)_;

and thou hast caused thy days
<03117>

to draw near
<07126> (8686)_,

and art come
<0935> (8799)

[even] unto thy years
<08141>_:

therefore have I made
<05414> (8804)

thee a reproach
<02781>

unto the heathen
<01471>_,

and a mocking
<07048>

to all countries
<0776>_.

22:5

[Those that be] near
<07138>_,

and [those that be] far
<07350>

from thee, shall mock
<07046> (8691)

thee, [which art] infamous
<02931> <08034>

[and] much
<07227>

vexed
<04103>_.

{infamous...: Heb. polluted of name, much in vexation}

22:6

Behold, the princes
<05387>

of Israel
<03478>_,

every one
<0376>

were in thee to their power
<02220>

to shed
<08210> (8800)

blood
<01818>_.

{power: Heb. arm}

22:7

In thee have they set light
<07043> (8689)

by father
<01>

and mother
<0517>_:

in the midst
<08432>

of thee have they dealt
<06213> (8804)

by oppression
<06233>

with the stranger
<01616>_:

in thee have they vexed
<03238> (8689)

the fatherless
<03490>

and the widow
<0490>_.

{oppression: or, deceit}

22:8

Thou hast despised
<0959> (8804)

mine holy things
<06944>_,

and hast profaned
<02490> (8765)

my sabbaths
<07676>_.

22:9

In thee are men
<0582>

that carry tales
<07400>

to shed
<08210> (8800)

blood
<01818>_:

and in thee they eat
<0398> (8804)

upon the mountains
<02022>_:

in the midst
<08432>

of thee they commit
<06213> (8804)

lewdness
<02154>_.

{that...: Heb. of slanders}

22:10

In thee have they discovered
<01540> (8765)

their fathers
<01>_'

nakedness
<06172>_:

in thee have they humbled
<06031> (8765)

her that was set apart
<05079>

for pollution
<02931>_.

22:11

And one
<0376>

hath committed
<06213> (8804)

abomination
<08441>

with his neighbour's
<07453>

wife
<0802>_;

and another
<0376>

hath lewdly
<02154>

defiled
<02930> (8765)

his daughter in law
<03618>_;

and another
<0376>

in thee hath humbled
<06031> (8765)

his sister
<0269>_,

his father's
<01>

daughter
<01323>_.

{one: or, every one} {another: or, every one} {lewdly: or, by lewdness}

22:12

In thee have they taken
<03947> (8804)

gifts
<07810>

to shed
<08210> (8800)

blood
<01818>_;

thou hast taken
<03947> (8804)

usury
<05392>

and increase
<08636>_,

and thou hast greedily gained
<01214> (8762)

of thy neighbours
<07453>

by extortion
<06233>_,

and hast forgotten
<07911> (8804)

me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

22:13

Behold, therefore I have smitten
<05221> (8689)

mine hand
<03709>

at thy dishonest gain
<01215>

which thou hast made
<06213> (8804)_,

and at thy blood
<01818>

which hath been in the midst
<08432>

of thee.

22:14

Can thine heart
<03820>

endure
<05975> (8799)_,

or can thine hands
<03027>

be strong
<02388> (8799)_,

in the days
<03117>

that I shall deal
<06213> (8802)

with thee? I the LORD
<03068>

have spoken
<01696> (8765)

[it], and will do
<06213> (8804)

[it].

22:15

And I will scatter
<06327> (8689)

thee among the heathen
<01471>_,

and disperse
<02219> (8765)

thee in the countries
<0776>_,

and will consume
<08552> (8689)

thy filthiness
<02932>

out of thee.

22:16

And thou shalt take thine inheritance
<02490> (8738) (8676) <05157> (8765)

in thyself in the sight
<05869>

of the heathen
<01471>_,

and thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

{shalt take...: or, shalt be profaned}

22:17

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

22:18

Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

is to me become dross
<05509>_:

all they [are] brass
<05178>_,

and tin
<0913>_,

and iron
<01270>_,

and lead
<05777>_,

in the midst
<08432>

of the furnace
<03564>_;

they are [even] the dross
<05509>

of silver
<03701>_.

{dross of silver: Heb. drosses, etc}

22:19

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Because ye are all become dross
<05509>_,

behold, therefore I will gather
<06908> (8802)

you into the midst
<08432>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

22:20

[As] they gather
<06910>

silver
<03701>_,

and brass
<05178>_,

and iron
<01270>_,

and lead
<05777>_,

and tin
<0913>_,

into the midst
<08432>

of the furnace
<03564>_,

to blow
<05301> (8800)

the fire
<0784>

upon it, to melt
<05413> (8687)

[it]; so will I gather
<06908> (8799)

[you] in mine anger
<0639>

and in my fury
<02534>_,

and I will leave
<03240> (8689)

[you there], and melt
<05413> (8689)

you. {As...: Heb. According to the gathering}

22:21

Yea, I will gather
<03664> (8765)

you, and blow
<05301> (8804)

upon you in the fire
<0784>

of my wrath
<05678>_,

and ye shall be melted
<05413> (8738)

in the midst
<08432>

thereof.

22:22

As silver
<03701>

is melted
<02046>

in the midst
<08432>

of the furnace
<03564>_,

so shall ye be melted
<05413> (8714)

in the midst
<08432>

thereof; and ye shall know
<03045> (8804)

that I the LORD
<03068>

have poured out
<08210> (8804)

my fury
<02534>

upon you.

22:23

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

22:24

Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

say
<0559> (8798)

unto her, Thou [art] the land
<0776>

that is not cleansed
<02891> (8794)_,

nor rained
<01656>

upon in the day
<03117>

of indignation
<02195>_.

22:25

[There is] a conspiracy
<07195>

of her prophets
<05030>

in the midst
<08432>

thereof, like a roaring
<07580> (8802)

lion
<0738>

ravening
<02963> (8802)

the prey
<02964>_;

they have devoured
<0398> (8804)

souls
<05315>_;

they have taken
<03947> (8799)

the treasure
<02633>

and precious things
<03366>_;

they have made her many
<07235> (8689)

widows
<0490>

in the midst
<08432>

thereof.

22:26

Her priests
<03548>

have violated
<02554> (8804)

my law
<08451>_,

and have profaned
<02490> (8762)

mine holy things
<06944>_:

they have put no difference
<0914> (8689)

between the holy
<06944>

and profane
<02455>_,

neither have they shewed
<03045> (8689)

[difference] between the unclean
<02931>

and the clean
<02889>_,

and have hid
<05956> (8689)

their eyes
<05869>

from my sabbaths
<07676>_,

and I am profaned
<02490> (8735)

among
<08432>

them. {violated: Heb. offered violence to}

22:27

Her princes
<08269>

in the midst
<07130>

thereof [are] like wolves
<02061>

ravening
<02963> (8802)

the prey
<02964>_,

to shed
<08210> (8800)

blood
<01818>_,

[and] to destroy
<06> (8763)

souls
<05315>_,

to get
<01214> (8800)

dishonest gain
<01215>_.

22:28

And her prophets
<05030>

have daubed
<02902> (8804)

them with untempered
<08602>

[morter], seeing
<02374>

vanity
<07723>_,

and divining
<07080> (8802)

lies
<03577>

unto them, saying
<0559> (8802)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

when the LORD
<03068>

hath not spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

22:29

The people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>

have used oppression
<06231> (8804) <06233>_,

and exercised
<01497> (8804)

robbery
<01498>_,

and have vexed
<03238> (8689)

the poor
<06041>

and needy
<034>_:

yea, they have oppressed
<06231> (8804)

the stranger
<01616>

wrongfully
<04941>_.

{oppression: or, deceit} {wrongfully: Heb. without right}

22:30

And I sought
<01245> (8762)

for a man
<0376>

among them, that should make up
<01443> (8802)

the hedge
<01447>_,

and stand
<05975> (8802)

in the gap
<06556>

before
<06440>

me for the land
<0776>_,

that I should not destroy
<07843> (8763)

it: but I found
<04672> (8804)

none.

22:31

Therefore have I poured out
<08210> (8799)

mine indignation
<02195>

upon them; I have consumed
<03615> (8765)

them with the fire
<0784>

of my wrath
<05678>_:

their own way
<01870>

have I recompensed
<05414> (8804)

upon their heads
<07218>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

Ezekiel 24:1-27

24:1

Again in the ninth
<08671>

year
<08141>_,

in the tenth
<06224>

month
<02320>_,

in the tenth
<06218>

[day] of the month
<02320>_,

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

24:2

Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

write
<03789> (8798)

thee the name
<08034>

of the day
<03117>_,

[even] of this same
<06106>

day
<03117>_:

the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

set
<05564> (8804)

himself against Jerusalem
<03389>

this same
<06106>

day
<03117>_.

24:3

And utter
<04911> (8798)

a parable
<04912>

unto the rebellious
<04805>

house
<01004>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Set on
<08239> (8798)

a pot
<05518>_,

set [it] on
<08239> (8798)_,

and also pour
<03332> (8798)

water
<04325>

into it:

24:4

Gather
<0622> (8798)

the pieces
<05409>

thereof into it, [even] every good
<02896>

piece
<05409>_,

the thigh
<03409>_,

and the shoulder
<03802>_;

fill
<04390> (8761)

[it] with the choice
<04005>

bones
<06106>_.

24:5

Take
<03947> (8800)

the choice
<04005>

of the flock
<06629>_,

and burn
<01754>

also the bones
<06106>

under it, [and] make it boil
<07570> (8761)

well
<07571>_,

and let them seethe
<01310> (8804)

the bones
<06106>

of it therein
<08432>_.

{burn: or, heap}

24:6

Wherefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Woe
<0188>

to the bloody
<01818>

city
<05892>_,

to the pot
<05518>

whose scum
<02457>

[is] therein, and whose scum
<02457>

is not gone out
<03318> (8804)

of it! bring it out
<03318> (8685)

piece
<05409>

by piece
<05409>_;

let no lot
<01486>

fall
<05307> (8804)

upon it.

24:7

For her blood
<01818>

is in the midst
<08432>

of her; she set
<07760> (8804)

it upon the top
<06706>

of a rock
<05553>_;

she poured
<08210> (8804)

it not upon the ground
<0776>_,

to cover
<03680> (8763)

it with dust
<06083>_;

24:8

That it might cause fury
<02534>

to come up
<05927> (8687)

to take
<05358> (8800)

vengeance
<05359>_;

I have set
<05414> (8804)

her blood
<01818>

upon the top
<06706>

of a rock
<05553>_,

that it should not be covered
<03680> (8736)_.

24:9

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Woe
<0188>

to the bloody
<01818>

city
<05892>_!

I will even make the pile
<04071>

for fire great
<01431> (8686)_.

24:10

Heap
<07235> (8685)

on wood
<06086>_,

kindle
<01814> (8687)

the fire
<0784>_,

consume
<08552> (8687)

the flesh
<01320>_,

and spice
<07543> (8687)

it well
<04841>_,

and let the bones
<06106>

be burned
<02787> (8735)_.

24:11

Then set
<05975> (8687)

it empty
<07386>

upon the coals
<01513>

thereof, that the brass
<05178>

of it may be hot
<03179> (8799)_,

and may burn
<02787> (8804)_,

and [that] the filthiness
<02932>

of it may be molten
<05413> (8738)

in it
<08432>_,

[that] the scum
<02457>

of it may be consumed
<08552> (8799)_.

24:12

She hath wearied
<03811> (8689)

[herself] with lies
<08383>_,

and her great
<07227>

scum
<02457>

went not forth
<03318> (8799)

out of her: her scum
<02457>

[shall be] in the fire
<0784>_.

24:13

In thy filthiness
<02932>

[is] lewdness
<02154>_:

because I have purged
<02891> (8765)

thee, and thou wast not purged
<02891> (8804)_,

thou shalt not be purged
<02891> (8799)

from thy filthiness
<02932>

any more, till I have caused my fury
<02534>

to rest
<05117> (8687)

upon thee.

24:14

I the LORD
<03068>

have spoken
<01696> (8765)

[it]: it shall come to pass
<0935> (8802)_,

and I will do
<06213> (8804)

[it]; I will not go back
<06544> (8799)_,

neither will I spare
<02347> (8799)_,

neither will I repent
<05162> (8735)_;

according to thy ways
<01870>_,

and according to thy doings
<05949>_,

shall they judge
<08199> (8804)

thee, saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

24:15

Also the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

24:16

Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

behold, I take away
<03947> (8802)

from thee the desire
<04261>

of thine eyes
<05869>

with a stroke
<04046>_:

yet neither shalt thou mourn
<05594> (8799)

nor weep
<01058> (8799)_,

neither shall thy tears
<01832>

run down
<0935> (8799)_.

{run down: Heb. go}

24:17

Forbear
<01826> (8798)

to cry
<0602> (8736)_,

make
<06213> (8799)

no mourning
<060>

for the dead
<04191> (8801)_,

bind
<02280> (8798)

the tire of thine head
<06287>

upon thee, and put on
<07760> (8799)

thy shoes
<05275>

upon thy feet
<07272>_,

and cover
<05844> (8799)

not [thy] lips
<08222>_,

and eat
<0398> (8799)

not the bread
<03899>

of men
<0582>_.

{Forbear: Heb. Be silent} {lips: Heb. upper lip}

24:18

So I spake
<01696> (8762)

unto the people
<05971>

in the morning
<01242>_:

and at even
<06153>

my wife
<0802>

died
<04191> (8799)_;

and I did
<06213> (8799)

in the morning
<01242>

as I was commanded
<06680> (8795)_.

24:19

And the people
<05971>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Wilt thou not tell
<05046> (8686)

us what these [things are] to us, that thou doest
<06213> (8802)

[so]?

24:20

Then I answered
<0559> (8799)

them, The word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

24:21

Speak
<0559> (8798)

unto the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Behold, I will profane
<02490> (8764)

my sanctuary
<04720>_,

the excellency
<01347>

of your strength
<05797>_,

the desire
<04261>

of your eyes
<05869>_,

and that which your soul
<05315>

pitieth
<04263>_;

and your sons
<01121>

and your daughters
<01323>

whom ye have left
<05800> (8804)

shall fall
<05307> (8799)

by the sword
<02719>_.

{that...: Heb. the pity of your soul}

24:22

And ye shall do
<06213> (8804)

as I have done
<06213> (8804)_:

ye shall not cover
<05844> (8799)

[your] lips
<08222>_,

nor eat
<0398> (8799)

the bread
<03899>

of men
<0582>_.

24:23

And your tires
<06287>

[shall be] upon your heads
<07218>_,

and your shoes
<05275>

upon your feet
<07272>_:

ye shall not mourn
<05594> (8799)

nor weep
<01058> (8799)_;

but ye shall pine away
<04743> (8738)

for your iniquities
<05771>_,

and mourn
<05098> (8804)

one
<0376>

toward another
<0251>_.

24:24

Thus Ezekiel
<03168>

is unto you a sign
<04159>_:

according to all that he hath done
<06213> (8804)

shall ye do
<06213> (8799)_:

and when this cometh
<0935> (8800)_,

ye shall know
<03045> (8804)

that I [am] the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

24:25

Also, thou son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

[shall it] not [be] in the day
<03117>

when I take
<03947> (8800)

from them their strength
<04581>_,

the joy
<04885>

of their glory
<08597>_,

the desire
<04261>

of their eyes
<05869>_,

and that whereupon they set
<04853>

their minds
<05315>_,

their sons
<01121>

and their daughters
<01323>_,

{that...: Heb. the lifting up of their soul}

24:26

[That] he that escapeth
<06412>

in that day
<03117>

shall come
<0935> (8799)

unto thee, to cause [thee] to hear
<02045>

[it] with [thine] ears
<0241>_?

24:27

In that day
<03117>

shall thy mouth
<06310>

be opened
<06605> (8735)

to him which is escaped
<06412>_,

and thou shalt speak
<01696> (8762)_,

and be no more dumb
<0481> (8735)_:

and thou shalt be a sign
<04159>

unto them; and they shall know
<03045> (8804)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.
