Ezekiel 36:1--37:28

36:1

Also, thou son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

prophesy
<05012> (8734)

unto the mountains
<02022>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

Ye mountains
<02022>

of Israel
<03478>_,

hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

36:2

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Because the enemy
<0341> (8802)

hath said
<0559> (8804)

against you, Aha
<01889>_,

even the ancient
<05769>

high places
<01116>

are ours in possession
<04181>_:

36:3

Therefore prophesy
<05012> (8734)

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Because they have made [you] desolate
<08074> (8800)_,

and swallowed you up
<07602> (8800)

on every side
<05439>_,

that ye might be a possession
<04181>

unto the residue
<07611>

of the heathen
<01471>_,

and ye are taken up
<05927> (8735)

in the lips
<08193>

of talkers
<03956>_,

and [are] an infamy
<01681>

of the people
<05971>_:

{Because: Heb. Because for because} {are...: or, ye are made to come up on the lip of the tongue}

36:4

Therefore, ye mountains
<02022>

of Israel
<03478>_,

hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

to the mountains
<02022>_,

and to the hills
<01389>_,

to the rivers
<0650>_,

and to the valleys
<01516>_,

to the desolate
<08074> (8802)

wastes
<02723>_,

and to the cities
<05892>

that are forsaken
<05800> (8737)_,

which became a prey
<0957>

and derision
<03933>

to the residue
<07611>

of the heathen
<01471>

that [are] round about
<05439>_;

{rivers: or, bottoms, or, dales}

36:5

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Surely in the fire
<0784>

of my jealousy
<07068>

have I spoken
<01696> (8765)

against the residue
<07611>

of the heathen
<01471>_,

and against all Idumea
<0123>_,

which have appointed
<05414> (8804)

my land
<0776>

into their possession
<04181>

with the joy
<08057>

of all [their] heart
<03824>_,

with despiteful
<07589>

minds
<05315>_,

to cast it out
<04054>

for a prey
<0957>_.

36:6

Prophesy
<05012> (8734)

therefore concerning the land
<0127>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto the mountains
<02022>_,

and to the hills
<01389>_,

to the rivers
<0650>_,

and to the valleys
<01516>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Behold, I have spoken
<01696> (8765)

in my jealousy
<07068>

and in my fury
<02534>_,

because ye have borne
<05375> (8804)

the shame
<03639>

of the heathen
<01471>_:

36:7

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

I have lifted up
<05375> (8804)

mine hand
<03027>_,

Surely the heathen
<01471>

that [are] about
<05439>

you, they shall bear
<05375> (8799)

their shame
<03639>_.

36:8

But ye, O mountains
<02022>

of Israel
<03478>_,

ye shall shoot forth
<05414> (8799)

your branches
<06057>_,

and yield
<05375> (8799)

your fruit
<06529>

to my people
<05971>

of Israel
<03478>_;

for they are at hand
<07126> (8765)

to come
<0935> (8800)_.

36:9

For, behold, I [am] for you, and I will turn
<06437> (8804)

unto you, and ye shall be tilled
<05647> (8738)

and sown
<02232> (8738)_:

36:10

And I will multiply
<07235> (8689)

men
<0120>

upon you, all the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

[even] all of it: and the cities
<05892>

shall be inhabited
<03427> (8738)_,

and the wastes
<02723>

shall be builded
<01129> (8735)_:

36:11

And I will multiply
<07235> (8689)

upon you man
<0120>

and beast
<0929>_;

and they shall increase
<07235> (8804)

and bring fruit
<06509> (8804)_:

and I will settle
<03427> (8689)

you after your old estates
<06927>_,

and will do better
<02895> (8689)

[unto you] than at your beginnings
<07221>_:

and ye shall know
<03045> (8804)

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

36:12

Yea, I will cause men
<0120>

to walk
<03212> (8689)

upon you, [even] my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_;

and they shall possess
<03423> (8804)

thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance
<05159>_,

and thou shalt no more
<03254> (8686)

henceforth bereave
<07921> (8763)

them [of men].

36:13

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Because they say
<0559> (8802)

unto you, Thou [land] devourest up
<0398> (8802)

men
<0120>_,

and hast bereaved
<07921> (8764)

thy nations
<01471>_;

36:14

Therefore thou shalt devour
<0398> (8799)

men
<0120>

no more, neither bereave
<07921> (8762) <03782> (8762)

thy nations
<01471>

any more, saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

{bereave: or, cause to fall}

36:15

Neither will I cause [men] to hear
<08085> (8686)

in thee the shame
<03639>

of the heathen
<01471>

any more, neither shalt thou bear
<05375> (8799)

the reproach
<02781>

of the people
<05971>

any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations
<01471>

to fall
<03782> (8686)

any more, saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

36:16

Moreover the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

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

36:17

Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

when the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in their own land
<0127>_,

they defiled
<02930> (8762)

it by their own way
<01870>

and by their doings
<05949>_:

their way
<01870>

was before
<06440>

me as the uncleanness
<02932>

of a removed woman
<05079>_.

36:18

Wherefore I poured
<08210> (8799)

my fury
<02534>

upon them for the blood
<01818>

that they had shed
<08210> (8804)

upon the land
<0776>_,

and for their idols
<01544>

[wherewith] they had polluted
<02930> (8765)

it:

36:19

And I scattered
<06327> (8686)

them among the heathen
<01471>_,

and they were dispersed
<02219> (8735)

through the countries
<0776>_:

according to their way
<01870>

and according to their doings
<05949>

I judged
<08199> (8804)

them.

36:20

And when they entered
<0935> (8799)

unto the heathen
<01471>_,

whither they went
<0935> (8804)_,

they profaned
<02490> (8762)

my holy
<06944>

name
<08034>_,

when they said
<0559> (8800)

to them, These [are] the people
<05971>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and are gone forth
<03318> (8804)

out of his land
<0776>_.

36:21

But I had pity
<02550> (8799)

for mine holy
<06944>

name
<08034>_,

which the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

had profaned
<02490> (8765)

among the heathen
<01471>_,

whither they went
<0935> (8804)_.

36:22

Therefore say
<0559> (8798)

unto the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

I do
<06213> (8802)

not [this] for your sakes, O house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

but for mine holy
<06944>

name's
<08034>

sake, which ye have profaned
<02490> (8765)

among the heathen
<01471>_,

whither ye went
<0935> (8804)_.

36:23

And I will sanctify
<06942> (8765)

my great
<01419>

name
<08034>_,

which was profaned
<02490> (8794)

among the heathen
<01471>_,

which ye have profaned
<02490> (8765)

in the midst
<08432>

of them; and the heathen
<01471>

shall know
<03045> (8804)

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

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

when I shall be sanctified
<06942> (8736)

in you before their eyes
<05869>_.

{their: or, your}

36:24

For I will take
<03947> (8804)

you from among
<04480>

the heathen
<01471>_,

and gather
<06908> (8765)

you out of all countries
<0776>_,

and will bring
<0935> (8689)

you into your own land
<0127>_.

36:25

Then will I sprinkle
<02236> (8804)

clean
<02889>

water
<04325>

upon you, and ye shall be clean
<02891> (8804)_:

from all your filthiness
<02932>_,

and from all your idols
<01544>_,

will I cleanse
<02891> (8762)

you.

36:26

A new
<02319>

heart
<03820>

also will I give
<05414> (8804)

you, and a new
<02319>

spirit
<07307>

will I put
<05414> (8799)

within
<07130>

you: and I will take away
<05493> (8689)

the stony
<068>

heart
<03820>

out of your flesh
<01320>_,

and I will give
<05414> (8804)

you an heart
<03820>

of flesh
<01320>_.

36:27

And I will put
<05414> (8799)

my spirit
<07307>

within
<07130>

you, and cause
<06213> (8804)

you to walk
<03212> (8799)

in my statutes
<02706>_,

and ye shall keep
<08104> (8799)

my judgments
<04941>_,

and do
<06213> (8804)

[them].

36:28

And ye shall dwell
<03427> (8804)

in the land
<0776>

that I gave
<05414> (8804)

to your fathers
<01>_;

and ye shall be my people
<05971>_,

and I will be your God
<0430>_.

36:29

I will also save
<03467> (8689)

you from all your uncleannesses
<02932>_:

and I will call
<07121> (8804)

for the corn
<01715>_,

and will increase
<07235> (8689)

it, and lay
<05414> (8799)

no famine
<07458>

upon you.

36:30

And I will multiply
<07235> (8689)

the fruit
<06529>

of the tree
<06086>_,

and the increase
<08570>

of the field
<07704>_,

that ye shall receive
<03947> (8799)

no more reproach
<02781>

of famine
<07458>

among the heathen
<01471>_.

36:31

Then shall ye remember
<02142> (8804)

your own evil
<07451>

ways
<01870>_,

and your doings
<04611>

that [were] not good
<02896>_,

and shall lothe
<06962> (8738)

yourselves in your own sight
<06440>

for your iniquities
<05771>

and for your abominations
<08441>_.

36:32

Not for your sakes do
<06213> (8802)

I [this], saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

be it known
<03045> (8735)

unto you: be ashamed
<0954> (8798)

and confounded
<03637> (8734)

for your own ways
<01870>_,

O house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_.

36:33

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

In the day
<03117>

that I shall have cleansed
<02891> (8763)

you from all your iniquities
<05771>

I will also cause [you] to dwell
<03427> (8689)

in the cities
<05892>_,

and the wastes
<02723>

shall be builded
<01129> (8738)_.

36:34

And the desolate
<08074> (8737)

land
<0776>

shall be tilled
<05647> (8735)_,

whereas it lay desolate
<08077>

in the sight
<05869>

of all that passed by
<05674> (8802)_.

36:35

And they shall say
<0559> (8804)_,

This
<01977>

land
<0776>

that was desolate
<08074> (8737)

is become like the garden
<01588>

of Eden
<05731>_;

and the waste
<02720>

and desolate
<08074> (8737)

and ruined
<02040> (8737)

cities
<05892>

[are become] fenced
<01219> (8803)_,

[and] are inhabited
<03427> (8804)_.

36:36

Then the heathen
<01471>

that are left
<07604> (8735)

round about
<05439>

you shall know
<03045> (8804)

that I the LORD
<03068>

build
<01129> (8804)

the ruined
<02040> (8737)

[places, and] plant
<05193> (8804)

that that was desolate
<08074> (8737)_:

I the LORD
<03068>

have spoken
<01696> (8765)

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

[it].

36:37

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

I will yet [for] this be enquired
<01875> (8735)

of by the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

to do
<06213> (8800)

[it] for them; I will increase
<07235> (8686)

them with men
<0120>

like a flock
<06629>_.

36:38

As the holy
<06944>

flock
<06629>_,

as the flock
<06629>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

in her solemn feasts
<04150>_;

so shall the waste
<02720>

cities
<05892>

be filled
<04392>

with flocks
<06629>

of men
<0120>_:

and they shall know
<03045> (8804)

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

{holy...: Heb. flock of holy things}

37:1

The hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>

was upon me, and carried me out
<03318> (8686)

in the spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and set me down
<05117> (8686)

in the midst
<08432>

of the valley
<01237>

which [was] full
<04392>

of bones
<06106>_,

37:2

And caused me to pass
<05674> (8689)

by them round about
<05439>_:

and, behold, [there were] very
<03966>

many
<07227>

in the open
<06440>

valley
<01237>_;

and, lo, [they were] very
<03966>

dry
<03002>_.

{valley: or, champaign}

37:3

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

can these bones
<06106>

live
<02421> (8799)_?

And I answered
<0559> (8799)_,

O Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

thou knowest
<03045> (8804)_.

37:4

Again he said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Prophesy
<05012> (8734)

upon these bones
<06106>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, O ye dry
<03002>

bones
<06106>_,

hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

37:5

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

unto these bones
<06106>_;

Behold, I will cause breath
<07307>

to enter
<0935> (8688)

into you, and ye shall live
<02421> (8804)_:

37:6

And I will lay
<05414> (8804)

sinews
<01517>

upon you, and will bring up
<05927> (8689)

flesh
<01320>

upon you, and cover
<07159> (8804)

you with skin
<05785>_,

and put
<05414> (8804)

breath
<07307>

in you, and ye shall live
<02421> (8804)_;

and ye shall know
<03045> (8804)

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

37:7

So I prophesied
<05012> (8738)

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

and as I prophesied
<05012> (8736)_,

there was a noise
<06963>_,

and behold a shaking
<07494>_,

and the bones
<06106>

came together
<07126> (8799)_,

bone
<06106>

to his bone
<06106>_.

37:8

And when I beheld
<07200> (8804)_,

lo, the sinews
<01517>

and the flesh
<01320>

came up
<05927> (8804)

upon them, and the skin
<05785>

covered
<07159> (8799)

them above
<04605>_:

but [there was] no breath
<07307>

in them.

37:9

Then said
<0559> (8799)

he unto me, Prophesy
<05012> (8734)

unto the wind
<07307>_,

prophesy
<05012> (8734)_,

son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

to the wind
<07307>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Come
<0935> (8798)

from the four
<0702>

winds
<07307>_,

O breath
<07307>_,

and breathe
<05301> (8798)

upon these slain
<02026> (8803)_,

that they may live
<02421> (8799)_.

{wind: or, breath}

37:10

So I prophesied
<05012> (8694)

as he commanded
<06680> (8765)

me, and the breath
<07307>

came
<0935> (8799)

into them, and they lived
<02421> (8799)_,

and stood up
<05975> (8799)

upon their feet
<07272>_,

an exceeding
<03966> <03966>

great
<01419>

army
<02428>_.

37:11

Then he said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

these bones
<06106>

are the whole house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_:

behold, they say
<0559> (8802)_,

Our bones
<06106>

are dried
<03001> (8804)_,

and our hope
<08615>

is lost
<06> (8804)_:

we are cut off
<01504> (8738)

for our parts.

37:12

Therefore prophesy
<05012> (8734)

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Behold, O my people
<05971>_,

I will open
<06605> (8802)

your graves
<06913>_,

and cause you to come up
<05927> (8689)

out of your graves
<06913>_,

and bring
<0935> (8689)

you into the land
<0127>

of Israel
<03478>_.

37:13

And ye shall know
<03045> (8804)

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

when I have opened
<06605> (8800)

your graves
<06913>_,

O my people
<05971>_,

and brought you up
<05927> (8687)

out of your graves
<06913>_,

37:14

And shall put
<05414> (8804)

my spirit
<07307>

in you, and ye shall live
<02421> (8804)_,

and I shall place
<03240> (8689)

you in your own land
<0127>_:

then shall ye know
<03045> (8804)

that I the LORD
<03068>

have spoken
<01696> (8765)

[it], and performed
<06213> (8804)

[it], saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

37:15

The word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

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

37:16

Moreover, thou son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

take
<03947> (8798)

thee one
<0259>

stick
<06086>_,

and write
<03789> (8798)

upon it, For Judah
<03063>_,

and for the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

his companions
<02270>_:

then take
<03947> (8798)

another
<0259>

stick
<06086>_,

and write
<03789> (8798)

upon it, For Joseph
<03130>_,

the stick
<06086>

of Ephraim
<0669>_,

and [for] all the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

his companions
<02270>_:

37:17

And join
<07126> (8761)

them one
<0259>

to another
<0259>

into one
<0259>

stick
<06086>_;

and they shall become one
<0259>

in thine hand
<03027>_.

37:18

And when the children
<01121>

of thy people
<05971>

shall speak
<0559> (8799)

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

Wilt thou not shew
<05046> (8686)

us what thou [meanest] by these?

37:19

Say
<01696> (8761)

unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Behold, I will take
<03947> (8802)

the stick
<06086>

of Joseph
<03130>_,

which [is] in the hand
<03027>

of Ephraim
<0669>_,

and the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>

his fellows
<02270>_,

and will put
<05414> (8804)

them with him, [even] with the stick
<06086>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and make
<06213> (8804)

them one
<0259>

stick
<06086>_,

and they shall be one
<0259>

in mine hand
<03027>_.

37:20

And the sticks
<06086>

whereon thou writest
<03789> (8799)

shall be in thine hand
<03027>

before their eyes
<05869>_.

37:21

And say
<01696> (8761)

unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Behold, I will take
<03947> (8802)

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

from among
<0996>

the heathen
<01471>_,

whither they be gone
<01980> (8804)_,

and will gather
<06908> (8765)

them on every side
<05439>_,

and bring
<0935> (8689)

them into their own land
<0127>_:

37:22

And I will make
<06213> (8804)

them one
<0259>

nation
<01471>

in the land
<0776>

upon the mountains
<02022>

of Israel
<03478>_;

and one
<0259>

king
<04428>

shall be king
<04428>

to them all: and they shall be
<05750>

no more two
<08147>

nations
<01471>_,

neither shall they be divided
<02673> (8735)

into two
<08147>

kingdoms
<04467>

any more at all:

37:23

Neither shall they defile
<02930> (8691)

themselves any more with their idols
<01544>_,

nor with their detestable things
<08251>_,

nor with any of their transgressions
<06588>_:

but I will save
<03467> (8689)

them out of all their dwellingplaces
<04186>_,

wherein they have sinned
<02398> (8804)_,

and will cleanse
<02891> (8765)

them: so shall they be my people
<05971>_,

and I will be their God
<0430>_.

37:24

And David
<01732>

my servant
<05650>

[shall be] king
<04428>

over them; and they all shall have one
<0259>

shepherd
<07462> (8802)_:

they shall also walk
<03212> (8799)

in my judgments
<04941>_,

and observe
<08104> (8799)

my statutes
<02708>_,

and do
<06213> (8804)

them.

37:25

And they shall dwell
<03427> (8804)

in the land
<0776>

that I have given
<05414> (8804)

unto Jacob
<03290>

my servant
<05650>_,

wherein your fathers
<01>

have dwelt
<03427> (8804)_;

and they shall dwell
<03427> (8804)

therein, [even] they, and their children
<01121>_,

and their children's
<01121>

children
<01121>

for ever
<05769>_:

and my servant
<05650>

David
<01732>

[shall be] their prince
<05387>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

37:26

Moreover I will make
<03772> (8804)

a covenant
<01285>

of peace
<07965>

with them; it shall be an everlasting
<05769>

covenant
<01285>

with them: and I will place
<05414> (8804)

them, and multiply
<07235> (8689)

them, and will set
<05414> (8804)

my sanctuary
<04720>

in the midst
<08432>

of them for evermore
<05769>_.

37:27

My tabernacle
<04908>

also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God
<0430>_,

and they shall be my people
<05971>_.

37:28

And the heathen
<01471>

shall know
<03045> (8804)

that I the LORD
<03068>

do sanctify
<06942> (8764)

Israel
<03478>_,

when my sanctuary
<04720>

shall be in the midst
<08432>

of them for evermore
<05769>_.
