Ezekiel 4:1--7:27

4:1

Thou also, son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

take
<03947> (8798)

thee a tile
<03843>_,

and lay
<05414> (8804)

it before
<06440>

thee, and pourtray
<02710> (8804)

upon it the city
<05892>_,

[even] Jerusalem
<03389>_:

4:2

And lay
<05414> (8804)

siege
<04692>

against it, and build
<01129> (8804)

a fort
<01785>

against it, and cast
<08210> (8804)

a mount
<05550>

against it; set
<05414> (8804)

the camp
<04264>

also against it, and set
<07760> (8798)

[battering] rams
<03733>

against it round about
<05439>_.

{battering...: chief leaders}

4:3

Moreover take
<03947> (8798)

thou unto thee an iron
<01270>

pan
<04227>_,

and set
<05414> (8804)

it [for] a wall
<07023>

of iron
<01270>

between thee and the city
<05892>_:

and set
<03559> (8689)

thy face
<06440>

against it, and it shall be besieged
<04692>_,

and thou shalt lay siege
<06696> (8804)

against it. This [shall be] a sign
<0226>

to the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{an...: or, a flat plate, or, slice}

4:4

Lie
<07901> (8798)

thou also upon thy left
<08042>

side
<06654>_,

and lay
<07760> (8804)

the iniquity
<05771>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

upon it: [according] to the number
<04557>

of the days
<03117>

that thou shalt lie
<07901> (8799)

upon it thou shalt bear
<05375> (8799)

their iniquity
<05771>_.

4:5

For I have laid
<05414> (8804)

upon thee the years
<08141>

of their iniquity
<05771>_,

according to the number
<04557>

of the days
<03117>_,

three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

and ninety
<08673>

days
<03117>_:

so shalt thou bear
<05375> (8804)

the iniquity
<05771>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_.

4:6

And when thou hast accomplished
<03615> (8765)

them
<0428>_,

lie
<07901> (8804)

again
<08145>

on thy right
<03233> (8675) <03227>

side
<06654>_,

and thou shalt bear
<05375> (8804)

the iniquity
<05771>

of the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

forty
<0705>

days
<03117>_:

I have appointed
<05414> (8804)

thee each day
<03117> <03117>

for a year
<08141> <08141>_.

{each...: Heb. a day for a year, a day for a year}

4:7

Therefore thou shalt set
<03559> (8686)

thy face
<06440>

toward the siege
<04692>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and thine arm
<02220>

[shall be] uncovered
<02834> (8803)_,

and thou shalt prophesy
<05012> (8738)

against it.

4:8

And, behold, I will lay
<05414> (8804)

bands
<05688>

upon thee, and thou shalt not turn
<02015> (8735)

thee from one side
<06654>

to another
<06654>_,

till thou hast ended
<03615> (8763)

the days
<03117>

of thy siege
<04692>_.

{from one...: Heb. from thy side to thy side}

4:9

Take
<03947> (8798)

thou also unto thee wheat
<02406>_,

and barley
<08184>_,

and beans
<06321>_,

and lentiles
<05742>_,

and millet
<01764>_,

and fitches
<03698>_,

and put
<05414> (8804)

them in one
<0259>

vessel
<03627>_,

and make
<06213> (8804)

thee bread
<03899>

thereof, [according] to the number
<04557>

of the days
<03117>

that thou shalt lie
<07901> (8802)

upon thy side
<06654>_,

three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

and ninety
<08673>

days
<03117>

shalt thou eat
<0398> (8799)

thereof. {fitches: or, spelt}

4:10

And thy meat
<03978>

which thou shalt eat
<0398> (8799)

[shall be] by weight
<04946>_,

twenty
<06242>

shekels
<08255>

a day
<03117>_:

from time
<06256>

to time
<06256>

shalt thou eat
<0398> (8799)

it.

4:11

Thou shalt drink
<08354> (8799)

also water
<04325>

by measure
<04884>_,

the sixth part
<08345>

of an hin
<01969>_:

from time
<06256>

to time
<06256>

shalt thou drink
<08354> (8799)_.

4:12

And thou shalt eat
<0398> (8799)

it [as] barley
<08184>

cakes
<05692>_,

and thou shalt bake
<05746> (8799)

it with dung
<01561>

that cometh out
<06627>

of man
<0120>_,

in their sight
<05869>_.

4:13

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Even thus shall the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

eat
<0398> (8799)

their defiled
<02931>

bread
<03899>

among the Gentiles
<01471>_,

whither I will drive
<05080> (8686)

them.

4:14

Then said
<0559> (8799)

I, Ah
<0162>

Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_!

behold, my soul
<05315>

hath not been polluted
<02930> (8794)_:

for from my youth
<05271>

up even till now have I not eaten
<0398> (8804)

of that which dieth of itself
<05038>_,

or is torn in pieces
<02966>_;

neither came
<0935> (8804)

there abominable
<06292>

flesh
<01320>

into my mouth
<06310>_.

4:15

Then he said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Lo
<07200> (8798)_,

I have given
<05414> (8804)

thee cow's
<01241>

dung
<06832> (8675) <06832>

for man's
<0120>

dung
<01561>_,

and thou shalt prepare
<06213> (8804)

thy bread
<03899>

therewith.

4:16

Moreover he said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

behold, I will break
<07665> (8799)

the staff
<04294>

of bread
<03899>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_:

and they shall eat
<0398> (8804)

bread
<03899>

by weight
<04948>_,

and with care
<01674>_;

and they shall drink
<08354> (8799)

water
<04325>

by measure
<04884>_,

and with astonishment
<08078>_:

4:17

That they may want
<02637> (8799)

bread
<03899>

and water
<04325>_,

and be astonied
<08074> (8738)

one
<0376>

with another
<0251>_,

and consume away
<04743> (8738)

for their iniquity
<05771>_.

5:1

And thou, son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

take
<03947> (8798)

thee a sharp
<02299>

knife
<02719>_,

take
<03947> (8799)

thee a barber's
<01532>

razor
<08593>_,

and cause [it] to pass
<05674> (8689)

upon thine head
<07218>

and upon thy beard
<02206>_:

then take
<03947> (8804)

thee balances
<03976>

to weigh
<04948>_,

and divide
<02505> (8765)

the [hair].

5:2

Thou shalt burn
<01197> (8686)

with fire
<0217>

a third part
<07992>

in the midst
<08432>

of the city
<05892>_,

when the days
<03117>

of the siege
<04692>

are fulfilled
<04390> (8800)_:

and thou shalt take
<03947> (8804)

a third part
<07992>_,

[and] smite
<05221> (8686)

about
<05439>

it with a knife
<02719>_:

and a third part
<07992>

thou shalt scatter
<02219> (8799)

in the wind
<07307>_;

and I will draw out
<07324> (8686)

a sword
<02719>

after
<0310>

them.

5:3

Thou shalt also take
<03947> (8804)

thereof a few
<04592>

in number
<04557>_,

and bind
<06696> (8804)

them in thy skirts
<03671>_.

{skirts: Heb. wings}

5:4

Then take of them again
<03947> (8799)_,

and cast
<07993> (8689)

them into the midst
<08432>

of the fire
<0784>_,

and burn
<08313> (8804)

them in the fire
<0784>_;

[for] thereof shall a fire
<0784>

come forth
<03318> (8799)

into all the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_.

5:5

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

This [is] Jerusalem
<03389>_:

I have set
<07760> (8804)

it in the midst
<08432>

of the nations
<01471>

and countries
<0776>

[that are] round about
<05439>

her.

5:6

And she hath changed
<04784> (8686)

my judgments
<04941>

into wickedness
<07564>

more than the nations
<01471>_,

and my statutes
<02708>

more than the countries
<0776>

that [are] round about
<05439>

her: for they have refused
<03988> (8804)

my judgments
<04941>

and my statutes
<02708>_,

they have not walked
<01980> (8804)

in them.

5:7

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Because ye multiplied
<01995> (8800)

more than the nations
<01471>

that [are] round about
<05439>

you, [and] have not walked
<01980> (8804)

in my statutes
<02708>_,

neither have kept
<06213> (8804)

my judgments
<04941>_,

neither have done
<06213> (8804)

according to the judgments
<04941>

of the nations
<01471>

that [are] round about
<05439>

you;

5:8

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Behold, I, even I, [am] against thee, and will execute
<06213> (8804)

judgments
<04941>

in the midst
<08432>

of thee in the sight
<05869>

of the nations
<01471>_.

5:9

And I will do
<06213> (8804)

in thee that which I have not done
<06213> (8804)_,

and whereunto I will not do
<06213> (8799)

any more the like, because
<03282>

of all thine abominations
<08441>_.

5:10

Therefore the fathers
<01>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)

the sons
<01121>

in the midst
<08432>

of thee, and the sons
<01121>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)

their fathers
<01>_;

and I will execute
<06213> (8804)

judgments
<08201>

in thee, and the whole remnant
<07611>

of thee will I scatter
<02219> (8765)

into all the winds
<07307>_.

5:11

Wherefore, [as] I live
<02416>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Surely, because thou hast defiled
<02930> (8765)

my sanctuary
<04720>

with all thy detestable things
<08251>_,

and with all thine abominations
<08441>_,

therefore will I also diminish
<01639> (8799)

[thee]; neither shall mine eye
<05869>

spare
<02347> (8799)_,

neither will I have any pity
<02550> (8799)_.

5:12

A third part
<07992>

of thee shall die
<04191> (8799)

with the pestilence
<01698>_,

and with famine
<07458>

shall they be consumed
<03615> (8799)

in the midst
<08432>

of thee: and a third part
<07992>

shall fall
<05307> (8799)

by the sword
<02719>

round about
<05439>

thee; and I will scatter
<02219> (8762)

a third part
<07992>

into all the winds
<07307>_,

and I will draw out
<07324> (8686)

a sword
<02719>

after
<0310>

them.

5:13

Thus shall mine anger
<0639>

be accomplished
<03615> (8804)_,

and I will cause my fury
<02534>

to rest
<05117> (8689)

upon them, and I will be comforted
<05162> (8694)_:

and they shall know
<03045> (8804)

that I the LORD
<03068>

have spoken
<01696> (8765)

[it] in my zeal
<07068>_,

when I have accomplished
<03615> (8763)

my fury
<02534>

in them.

5:14

Moreover I will make
<05414> (8799)

thee waste
<02723>_,

and a reproach
<02781>

among the nations
<01471>

that [are] round about
<05439>

thee, in the sight
<05869>

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

5:15

So it shall be a reproach
<02781>

and a taunt
<01422>_,

an instruction
<04148>

and an astonishment
<04923>

unto the nations
<01471>

that [are] round about
<05439>

thee, when I shall execute
<06213> (8800)

judgments
<08201>

in thee in anger
<0639>

and in fury
<02534>

and in furious
<02534>

rebukes
<08433>_.

I the LORD
<03068>

have spoken
<01696> (8765)

[it].

5:16

When I shall send
<07971> (8762)

upon them the evil
<07451>

arrows
<02671>

of famine
<07458>_,

which shall be for [their] destruction
<04889>_,

[and] which I will send
<07971> (8763)

to destroy
<07843> (8763)

you: and I will increase
<03254> (8686)

the famine
<07458>

upon you, and will break
<07665> (8804)

your staff
<04294>

of bread
<03899>_:

5:17

So will I send
<07971> (8765)

upon you famine
<07458>

and evil
<07451>

beasts
<02416>_,

and they shall bereave
<07921> (8765)

thee; and pestilence
<01698>

and blood
<01818>

shall pass through
<05674> (8799)

thee; and I will bring
<0935> (8686)

the sword
<02719>

upon thee. I the LORD
<03068>

have spoken
<01696> (8765)

[it].

6:1

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

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

6:2

Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

set
<07760> (8798)

thy face
<06440>

toward the mountains
<02022>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and prophesy
<05012> (8734)

against them,

6:3

And say
<0559> (8804)_,

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>_;

Behold, I, [even] I, will bring
<0935> (8688)

a sword
<02719>

upon you, and I will destroy
<06> (8765)

your high places
<01116>_.

6:4

And your altars
<04196>

shall be desolate
<08074> (8738)_,

and your images
<02553>

shall be broken
<07665> (8738)_:

and I will cast down
<05307> (8689)

your slain
<02491>

[men] before
<06440>

your idols
<01544>_.

{images: or, sun images}

6:5

And I will lay
<05414> (8804)

the dead carcases
<06297>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

before
<06440>

their idols
<01544>_;

and I will scatter
<02219> (8765)

your bones
<06106>

round about
<05439>

your altars
<04196>_.

{lay: Heb. give}

6:6

In all your dwellingplaces
<04186>

the cities
<05892>

shall be laid waste
<02717> (8799)_,

and the high places
<01116>

shall be desolate
<03456> (8799)_;

that your altars
<04196>

may be laid waste
<02717> (8799)

and made desolate
<0816> (8799)_,

and your idols
<01544>

may be broken
<07665> (8738)

and cease
<07673> (8738)_,

and your images
<02553>

may be cut down
<01438> (8738)_,

and your works
<04639>

may be abolished
<04229> (8738)_.

{images: or, sun images}

6:7

And the slain
<02491>

shall fall
<05307> (8804)

in the midst
<08432>

of you, and ye shall know
<03045> (8804)

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

6:8

Yet will I leave a remnant
<03498> (8689)_,

that ye may have [some] that shall escape
<06412>

the sword
<02719>

among the nations
<01471>_,

when ye shall be scattered
<02219> (8736)

through the countries
<0776>_.

6:9

And they that escape
<06412>

of you shall remember
<02142> (8804)

me among the nations
<01471>

whither they shall be carried captives
<07617> (8738)_,

because I am broken
<07665> (8738)

with their whorish
<02181> (8802)

heart
<03820>_,

which hath departed
<05493> (8804)

from me, and with their eyes
<05869>_,

which go a whoring
<02181> (8802)

after
<0310>

their idols
<01544>_:

and they shall lothe
<06962> (8738)

themselves
<06440>

for the evils
<07451>

which they have committed
<06213> (8804)

in all their abominations
<08441>_.

6:10

And they shall know
<03045> (8804)

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

[and that] I have not said
<01696> (8765)

in vain
<02600>

that I would do
<06213> (8800)

this evil
<07451>

unto them.

6:11

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Smite
<05221> (8685)

with thine hand
<03709>_,

and stamp
<07554> (8798)

with thy foot
<07272>_,

and say
<0559> (8798)_,

Alas
<0253>

for all the evil
<07451>

abominations
<08441>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_!

for they shall fall
<05307> (8799)

by the sword
<02719>_,

by the famine
<07458>_,

and by the pestilence
<01698>_.

6:12

He that is far off
<07350>

shall die
<04191> (8799)

of the pestilence
<01698>_;

and he that is near
<07138>

shall fall
<05307> (8799)

by the sword
<02719>_;

and he that remaineth
<07604> (8737)

and is besieged
<05341> (8803)

shall die
<04191> (8799)

by the famine
<07458>_:

thus will I accomplish
<03615> (8765)

my fury
<02534>

upon them.

6:13

Then shall ye know
<03045> (8804)

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

when their slain
<02491>

[men] shall be among
<08432>

their idols
<01544>

round about
<05439>

their altars
<04196>_,

upon every high
<07311> (8802)

hill
<01389>_,

in all the tops
<07218>

of the mountains
<02022>_,

and under every green
<07488>

tree
<06086>_,

and under every thick
<05687>

oak
<0424>_,

the place
<04725>

where they did offer
<05414> (8804)

sweet
<05207>

savour
<07381>

to all their idols
<01544>_.

6:14

So will I stretch out
<05186> (8804)

my hand
<03027>

upon them, and make
<05414> (8804)

the land
<0776>

desolate
<08077>_,

yea, more desolate
<04923>

than the wilderness
<04057>

toward Diblath
<01689>_,

in all their habitations
<04186>_:

and they shall know
<03045> (8804)

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

{more...: or, desolate from the wilderness}

7:1

Moreover the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

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

7:2

Also, thou son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

unto the land
<0127>

of Israel
<03478>_;

An end
<07093>_,

the end
<07093>

is come
<0935> (8804)

upon the four
<0702>

corners
<03671>

of the land
<0776>_.

7:3

Now [is] the end
<07093>

[come] upon thee, and I will send
<07971> (8765)

mine anger
<0639>

upon thee, and will judge
<08199> (8804)

thee according to thy ways
<01870>_,

and will recompense
<05414> (8804)

upon thee all thine abominations
<08441>_.

{recompense: Heb. give}

7:4

And mine eye
<05869>

shall not spare
<02347> (8799)

thee, neither will I have pity
<02550> (8799)_:

but I will recompense
<05414> (8799)

thy ways
<01870>

upon thee, and thine abominations
<08441>

shall be in the midst
<08432>

of thee: and ye shall know
<03045> (8804)

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

7:5

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

An evil
<07451>_,

an only
<0259>

evil
<07451>_,

behold, is come
<0935> (8802)_.

7:6

An end
<07093>

is come
<0935> (8804)_,

the end
<07093>

is come
<0935> (8804)_:

it watcheth
<06974> (8689)

for thee; behold, it is come
<0935> (8802)_.

{watcheth for: Heb. awaketh against}

7:7

The morning
<06843>

is come
<0935> (8804)

unto thee, O thou that dwellest
<03427> (8802)

in the land
<0776>_:

the time
<06256>

is come
<0935> (8804) (8676) <0935> (8802)_,

the day
<03117>

of trouble
<04103>

[is] near
<07138>_,

and not the sounding again
<01906>

of the mountains
<02022>_.

{sounding...: or, echo}

7:8

Now will I shortly
<07138>

pour out
<08210> (8799)

my fury
<02534>

upon thee, and accomplish
<03615> (8765)

mine anger
<0639>

upon thee: and I will judge
<08199> (8804)

thee according to thy ways
<01870>_,

and will recompense
<05414> (8804)

thee for all thine abominations
<08441>_.

7:9

And mine eye
<05869>

shall not spare
<02347> (8799)_,

neither will I have pity
<02550> (8799)_:

I will recompense
<05414> (8799)

thee according to thy ways
<01870>

and thine abominations
<08441>

[that] are in the midst
<08432>

of thee; and ye shall know
<03045> (8804)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>

that smiteth
<05221> (8688)_.

{thee according: Heb. upon thee, etc}

7:10

Behold the day
<03117>_,

behold, it is come
<0935> (8802)_:

the morning
<06843>

is gone forth
<03318> (8804)_;

the rod
<04294>

hath blossomed
<06692> (8804)_,

pride
<02087>

hath budded
<06524> (8804)_.

7:11

Violence
<02555>

is risen up
<06965> (8804)

into a rod
<04294>

of wickedness
<07562>_:

none of them [shall remain], nor of their multitude
<01995>_,

nor of any
<01991>

of theirs: neither [shall there be] wailing
<05089>

for them. {theirs: or, their tumultuous persons: Heb. tumult}

7:12

The time
<06256>

is come
<0935> (8804)_,

the day
<03117>

draweth near
<05060> (8689)_:

let not the buyer
<07069> (8802)

rejoice
<08055> (8799)_,

nor the seller
<04376> (8802)

mourn
<056> (8691)_:

for wrath
<02740>

[is] upon all the multitude
<01995>

thereof.

7:13

For the seller
<04376> (8802)

shall not return
<07725> (8799)

to that which is sold
<04465>_,

although they were yet alive
<02416>_:

for the vision
<02377>

[is] touching the whole multitude
<01995>

thereof, [which] shall not return
<07725> (8799)_;

neither shall any
<0376>

strengthen
<02388> (8691)

himself in the iniquity
<05771>

of his life
<02416>_.

{although they...: Heb. though their life were yet among the living} {in the...: or, whose life is in his iniquity} {the iniquity: Heb. his iniquity}

7:14

They have blown
<08628> (8804)

the trumpet
<08619>_,

even to make all ready
<03559> (8687)_;

but none goeth
<01980> (8802)

to the battle
<04421>_:

for my wrath
<02740>

[is] upon all the multitude
<01995>

thereof.

7:15

The sword
<02719>

[is] without
<02351>_,

and the pestilence
<01698>

and the famine
<07458>

within
<01004>_:

he that [is] in the field
<07704>

shall die
<04191> (8799)

with the sword
<02719>_;

and he that [is] in the city
<05892>_,

famine
<07458>

and pestilence
<01698>

shall devour
<0398> (8799)

him.

7:16

But they that escape
<06403> (8804)

of them shall escape
<06412>_,

and shall be on the mountains
<02022>

like doves
<03123>

of the valleys
<01516>_,

all of them mourning
<01993> (8802)_,

every one
<0376>

for his iniquity
<05771>_.

7:17

All hands
<03027>

shall be feeble
<07503> (8799)_,

and all knees
<01290>

shall be weak
<03212> (8799)

[as] water
<04325>_.

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

7:18

They shall also gird
<02296> (8804)

[themselves] with sackcloth
<08242>_,

and horror
<06427>

shall cover
<03680> (8765)

them; and shame
<0955>

[shall be] upon all faces
<06440>_,

and baldness
<07144>

upon all their heads
<07218>_.

7:19

They shall cast
<07993> (8686)

their silver
<03701>

in the streets
<02351>_,

and their gold
<02091>

shall be removed
<05079>_:

their silver
<03701>

and their gold
<02091>

shall not be able
<03201> (8799)

to deliver
<05337> (8687)

them in the day
<03117>

of the wrath
<05678>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

they shall not satisfy
<07646> (8762)

their souls
<05315>_,

neither fill
<04390> (8762)

their bowels
<04578>_:

because it is the stumblingblock
<04383>

of their iniquity
<05771>_.

{removed: Heb. for a separation, or, uncleanness} {it is...: or, their iniquity is their stumblingblock}

7:20

As for the beauty
<06643>

of his ornament
<05716>_,

he set
<07760> (8804)

it in majesty
<01347>_:

but they made
<06213> (8804)

the images
<06754>

of their abominations
<08441>

[and] of their detestable things
<08251>

therein: therefore have I set
<05414> (8804)

it far
<05079>

from them. {set it far...: or, made it unto them an unclean thing}

7:21

And I will give
<05414> (8804)

it into the hands
<03027>

of the strangers
<02114> (8801)

for a prey
<0957>_,

and to the wicked
<07563>

of the earth
<0776>

for a spoil
<07998>_;

and they shall pollute
<02490> (8765)

it.

7:22

My face
<06440>

will I turn
<05437> (8689)

also from them, and they shall pollute
<02490> (8765)

my secret
<06845> (8803)

[place]: for the robbers
<06530>

shall enter
<0935> (8804)

into it, and defile
<02490> (8765)

it. {robbers: or, burglers}

7:23

Make
<06213> (8798)

a chain
<07569>_:

for the land
<0776>

is full
<04390> (8804)

of bloody
<01818>

crimes
<04941>_,

and the city
<05892>

is full
<04390> (8804)

of violence
<02555>_.

7:24

Wherefore I will bring
<0935> (8689)

the worst
<07451>

of the heathen
<01471>_,

and they shall possess
<03423> (8804)

their houses
<01004>_:

I will also make the pomp
<01347>

of the strong
<05794>

to cease
<07673> (8689)_;

and their holy places
<06942> (8764)

shall be defiled
<02490> (8738) (8676) <05157> (8765)_.

{their holy...: or, they shall inherit their holy places}

7:25

Destruction
<07089>

cometh
<0935> (8804)_;

and they shall seek
<01245> (8765)

peace
<07965>_,

and [there shall be] none. {Destruction: Heb. Cutting off}

7:26

Mischief
<01943>

shall come
<0935> (8799)

upon mischief
<01943>_,

and rumour
<08052>

shall be upon rumour
<08052>_;

then shall they seek
<01245> (8765)

a vision
<02377>

of the prophet
<05030>_;

but the law
<08451>

shall perish
<06> (8799)

from the priest
<03548>_,

and counsel
<06098>

from the ancients
<02205>_.

7:27

The king
<04428>

shall mourn
<056> (8691)_,

and the prince
<05387>

shall be clothed
<03847> (8799)

with desolation
<08077>_,

and the hands
<03027>

of the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>

shall be troubled
<0926> (8735)_:

I will do
<06213> (8799)

unto them after their way
<01870>_,

and according to their deserts
<04941>

will I judge
<08199> (8799)

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

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

{according...: Heb. with their judgments}
