Their legs were straight, but the soles of their feet were like calves’ feet. They gleamed ¹  like polished bronze.

As for my sheep, they must eat what you trampled with your feet, and drink what you have muddied with your feet!

No human foot will pass through it, and no animal’s foot will pass through it; it will be uninhabited for forty years.

Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture, that you must trample the rest of your pastures with your feet? When you drink clean water, must you muddy the rest of the water by trampling it with your feet?

He said to me, “Son of man, ¹  stand on your feet and I will speak with you.”

As he spoke to me, ¹  a wind ²  came into me and stood me on my feet, and I heard the one speaking to me.

Then a wind ¹  came into me and stood me on my feet. The Lord ²  spoke to me and said, “Go shut yourself in your house.

He said to me: “Son of man, this is the place of my throne ¹  and the place for the soles of my feet, ²  where I will live among the people of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no longer profane my holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their spiritual prostitution or by the pillars of their kings set up when they die. ³
