therefore, as surely as I live, declares the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>, I will deal with you according to your anger, and according to your envy, by which you acted spitefully against them. I will reveal myself to them when I judge you.

This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: The enemy has spoken against you, saying &#8220;Aha!&#8221; and, &#8220;The ancient heights<n id="1" /> have become our property!&#8221;&#8217;

So this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: I vow<n id="1" /> that the nations around you will endure insults as well.p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: Because they are saying to you, &#8220;You are a devourer of men, and bereave your nation of children,&#8221;

therefore you will no longer devour people and no longer bereave your nation of children, declares the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>.

Understand that<n id="1" /> it is not for your sake I am about to act, declares the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>. Be ashamed and embarrassed by your behavior, O house of Israel.p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: In the day I cleanse you from all your sins, I will populate the cities and the ruins will be rebuilt.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: I will allow the house of Israel to ask me to do this for them:<n id="1" /> I will multiply their people like sheep.<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind,<n id="1" /> and you will devise an evil plan.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Therefore, prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog: &#8216;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: On that day when my people Israel are living securely, you will take notice<n id="1" />

On that day, when Gog invades<n id="1" /> the land of Israel, declares the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>, my rage will mount up in my anger.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;As for you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say: &#8216;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: Look, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal!

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Therefore this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: Now I will restore<n id="1" /> the fortunes of Jacob, and I will have mercy on the entire house of Israel. I will be zealous for my holy name.

I will no longer hide my face from them, when I pour out my Spirit on the house of Israel,<n id="1" /> declares the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>.&#8221;p>

you will give a young bull for a sin offering to the Levitical priests who are descended from Zadok, who approach me to minister to me, declares the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>.

Say to the rebellious,<n id="1" /> to the house of Israel, &#8216;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: Enough of all your abominable practices, O house of Israel!

On the day he enters the sanctuary, into the inner court to serve in the sanctuary, he must offer his sin offering, declares the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>.p>

and one sheep from each flock of two hundred, from the watered places of Israel, for a grain offering, burnt offering, and peace offering, to make atonement for them, declares the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: In the first month, on the first day of the month, you must take an unblemished young bull and purify the sanctuary.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: If the prince should give a gift to one of his sons as<n id="1" /> his inheritance, it will belong to his sons, it is their property by inheritance.
