They had human hands under their wings on their four sides. As for the faces and wings of the four of them,

Then there was a voice from above the platform over their heads when they stood still.

He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet and I will speak with you.”

Then the glory of the Lord moved away from the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.

You will die by the sword; I will judge you at the border of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

The glory of the Lord rose up from within the city and stopped over the mountain east of it.

You have not gone up in the breaks in the wall, nor repaired a wall for the house of Israel that it would stand strong in the battle on the day of the Lord.

He took one of the seedlings of the land, placed it in a cultivated plot; a shoot by abundant water, like a willow he planted it.

“‘Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard, planted by water. It was fruitful and full of branches because it was well-watered.

“Oholah engaged in prostitution while she was mine. She lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians – warriors

But she increased her prostitution. She saw men carved on the wall, images of the Chaldeans carved in bright red,

She lusted after their genitals – as large as those of donkeys, and their seminal emission was as strong as that of stallions.

I will do these things to you because you engaged in prostitution with the nations, polluting yourself with their idols.

You sat on a magnificent couch, with a table arranged in front of it where you placed my incense and my olive oil.

To arouse anger, to take vengeance, I have placed her blood on an exposed rock so that it cannot be covered up.

Then you will do as I have done: You will not cover your lip or eat food brought by others.

They will lament loudly over you and cry bitterly. They will throw dust on their heads and roll in the ashes;

I will pour out my anger upon Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt; I will cut off the hordes of Thebes.

On its ruins all the birds of the sky will live, and all the wild animals will walk on its branches.

I will disturb many peoples, when I bring about your destruction among the nations, among countries you do not know.
