\par }{\MT Ezekiel

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
it
came
about
in
the
thirtieth
year,
in
the
fourth
month,
on
the
fifth
day
of
the
month,
while
I
was
by
the
river
Chebar
among
those
who
had
been
made prisoners,
that
the
heavens
were
made
open
and
I
saw
visions
of
God.
\VS{2}On
the
fifth
day
of
the
month,
in
the
fifth
year
after
King Jehoiachin
had been made
a prisoner,
\VS{3}The
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
Ezekiel
the
priest,
the
son
of
Buzi,
in
the
land
of
the Chaldaeans
by
the
river
Chebar;
and
the
hand
of
the
Lord
was
on
me
there.
\VS{4}And,
looking,
I
saw
a storm-wind
coming
out
of
the
north,
a
great
cloud
with flames
of
fire
coming
after
one
another,
and
a
bright
light shining
round
about
it
and
in
the
heart
of
it
was something coloured
like electrum.
\VS{5}And
in
the heart
of
it
were
the
forms
of
four
living
beings.
And
this
was
what
they
were
like;
they
had
the
form
of
a
man.
\VS{6}And
every
one
had
four
faces,
and
every
one
of
them
had
four
wings.
\VS{7}And
their
feet
were
straight
feet;
and
the under sides
of
their
feet
were
like
the
feet
of oxen;
and
they
were shining
like
polished
brass.
\VS{8}And
they
had
the
hands
of
a
man
under
their
wings;
the
four
of
them
had
faces
on
their
four
sides.
\VS{9}They
went
without
turning,
every
one
went
straight
forward.
\VS{10}As
for
the
form
of
their
faces,
they
had
the
face
of
a
man,
and
the
four
of
them
had
the
face
of
a
lion
on
the
right
side,
and
the
four
of
them
had
the
face
of
an
ox
on
the
left
side,
and
the
four
of
them
had
the
face
of
an
eagle.
\VS{11}And
their
wings
were
separate
at
the
top;
two
of
the
wings
of
every
one
were
joined
one
to
another,
and
two
were
covering
their
bodies.
\VS{12}Every
one
of
them
went
straight
forward;
wherever
the
spirit
was
to
go
they
went;
they
went
on
without
turning.
\VS{13}And
between
the
living
beings
it
was
like
burning
coals
of
fire,
as
if
flames
were
going
one
after
the other
between
the
living
beings;
and
the
fire
was
bright,
and
out
of
the
fire
went thunder-flames.
\VS{14}And
the
living
beings
went out
and
came
back as quickly as
a thunder-flame.
\VS{15}Now
while
I
was
looking
at
the
four
living
beings,
I
saw
one
wheel
on
the
earth,
by
the
side
of
the
living
beings,
for
the
four
of
them.
\VS{16}The
form
of
the
wheels
and
their
work
was
like
a
beryl;
the
four
of
them
had
the
same
form
and
design,
and
they
were
like
a
wheel
inside
a
wheel.
\VS{17}The
four
of
them
went straight forward
without
turning
to
one side.
\VS{18}And
I saw
that
they
had edges,
and
their edges, even
of
the
four,
were
full
of
eyes
round
about.
\VS{19}And
when
the
living
beings
went
on,
the
wheels
went
by
their
side;
and
when
the
living
beings
were
lifted
up
from
the
earth,
the
wheels
were
lifted
up.
\VS{20}Wherever
the
spirit
was
to
go
they
went;
and
the
wheels
were
lifted
up
by
their
side:
for
the
spirit
of
the
living
beings
was
in
the
wheels.
\VS{21}When these
went
on,
the others
went;
and
when these
came
to rest,
the others
came
to rest;
and
when these
were
lifted
up
from
the
earth,
the
wheels
were
lifted
up
by
their
side:
for
the
spirit
of
the
living
beings
was
in
the
wheels.
\VS{22}And
over
the
heads
of
the
living
beings there
was
the
form
of
an arch, looking
like
ice,
stretched
out
over
their
heads
on
high.
\VS{23}Under
the arch
their
wings
were
straight,
one stretched
out
to
another:
every
one
had
two
wings
covering
their
bodies
on
this side
and
two
covering
their
bodies
on
that side.
\VS{24}And
when
they went,
the
sound
of
their
wings
was
like
the
sound
of
great
waters
to
my ears,
like
the
voice
of
the Ruler
of all,
a
sound
like
the rushing
of
an
army:
when
they came
to rest
they
let down
their
wings.
\VS{25}And
there
was
a
voice
from
the
top
of
the arch
which
was
over
their
heads:
when
they
came
to
rest
they
let
down
their
wings.
\VS{26}And
on
the
top
of
the arch
which
was
over
their
heads
was
the
form
of
a king's
seat,
like
a
sapphire
stone;
and
on
the
form
of
the
seat
was
the
form
of
a
man
seated
on
it
on
high.
\VS{27}And
I
saw
it coloured
like electrum,
with
the
look
of
fire
in
it
and
round
it, going
up
from
what
seemed
to
be
the middle
of
his
body;
and going
down
from
what
seemed
to
be
the middle
of
his
body
I
saw
what
was
like
fire,
and there
was
a
bright
light shining
round
him.
\VS{28}Like
the
bow
in
the
cloud
on
a
day
of
rain,
so
was
the
light shining
round
him.
And
this
is
what
the
glory
of
the
Lord
was
like.
And
when
I
saw
it
I
went
down
on
my
face,
and
the
voice
of
one
talking
came
to
my ears.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
he
said
to
me,
Son
of
man, get
up
on
your
feet,
so
that
I
may
say words
to
you.
\VS{2}And
at
his words
the
spirit
came
into
me
and
put
me
on
my
feet;
and
his voice
came
to
my ears.
\VS{3}And
he
said
to
me,
Son
of
man,
I
am
sending
you
to
the
children
of
Israel,
to
an uncontrolled
nation
which
has gone
against
me:
they
and
their
fathers
have
been sinners
against
me
even
to
this
very
day.
\VS{4}And
the
children
are
hard
and stiff-hearted;
I
am
sending
you
to
them:
and
you
are
to
say
to
them, These
are
the words
of
the
Lord.
\VS{5}And
they,
if
they
give ear
to
you
or
if
they
do
not
give ear (for
they
are
an uncontrolled
people),
will
see
that
there
has
been
a
prophet
among
them.
\VS{6}And
you,
son
of
man,
have
no
fear
of
them
or
of
their
words,
even
if sharp
thorns
are round
you
and
you
are
living
among
scorpions:
have
no
fear
of
their
words
and
do
not
be overcome
by
their looks,
for
they
are
an uncontrolled
people.
\VS{7}And
you
are
to
give
them
my
words,
if
they
give ear
to
you
or
if
they
do
not:
for
they
are uncontrolled.
\VS{8}But
you,
son
of
man,
give ear
to
what
I
say
to
you,
and
do
not
be uncontrolled
like
that uncontrolled
people:
let
your
mouth
be
open
and
take
what
I
give
you.
\VS{9}And
looking,
I
saw
a
hand
stretched
out
to
me,
and
I
saw
the roll
of
a
book
in
it;
\VS{10}And
he put
it
open
before
me,
and
it
had
writing
on
the
front
and
on
the
back; words
of grief
and sorrow
and trouble
were
recorded
in
it.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
he
said
to
me,
Son
of
man, take
this roll
for
your
food,
and go
and
say
my words
to
the
children
of
Israel.
\VS{2}And,
on
my
opening
my
mouth,
he made
me take
the roll
as
food.
\VS{3}And
he
said
to
me,
Son
of
man,
let
your
stomach
make
a meal
of
it
and
let
your
inside
be
full
of
this roll
which
I
am
giving
you.
Then
I
took
it,
and
it
was
sweet
as
honey
in
my
mouth.
\VS{4}And
he
said
to
me,
Son
of
man,
go
now
to
the
children
of
Israel,
and
say
my
words
to
them.
\VS{5}For
you
are
not
sent
to
a
people whose
talk
is strange
and whose
language
is
hard,
but
to
the children
of
Israel;
\VS{6}Not
to
a
number
of
peoples
whose
talk
is strange
and
whose
language
is
hard
and
whose
words
are
not clear
to
you.
Truly,
if
I
sent
you
to
them
they
would
give ear
to
you.
\VS{7}But
the children
of
Israel
will
not
give ear
to
you;
for
they
have
no
mind
to
give ear
to
me:
for
all
the children
of
Israel
have
a
hard brow
and
a stiff
heart.
\VS{8}See,
I
have
made
your
face
hard
against
their
faces,
and
your brow
hard
against
their brows.
\VS{9}Like
a
diamond
harder
than rock
I
have
made
your brow:
have
no
fear
of
them
and do
not
be overcome
by
their looks,
for
they
are
an uncontrolled
people.
\VS{10}Then
he
said
to
me,
Son
of
man,
take
into
your
heart
all
my
words
which
I am
about
to
say
to
you,
and let
your
ears
be
open
to
them.
\VS{11}And
go
now
to
those
who
have been taken
away
as prisoners,
to
the
children
of
your
people,
and
say
to
them,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said;
if
they
give ear
or
if
they
do
not.
\VS{12}Then
I
was
lifted
up
by
the
wind,
and
at
my
back
the
sound
of
a
great rushing
came
to
my ears
when
the
glory
of
the
Lord
was
lifted
up
from
his
place.
\VS{13}And there
was
the
sound
of
the
wings
of
the
living
beings touching
one
another,
and
the
sound
of
the
wheels
at
their
side,
the
sound
of
a
great rushing.
\VS{14}And
the
wind, lifting
me
up,
took
me
away:
and
I
went
in
the
heat
of
my
spirit,
and
the
hand
of
the
Lord
was
strong
on
me.
\VS{15}Then
I
came
to
those
who
had
been
taken
away
as prisoners,
who
were
at Telabib
by
the
river
Chebar,
and
I
was
seated
among
them
full
of wonder
for
seven
days.
\VS{16}And
at
the
end
of
seven
days,
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{17}Son
of
man,
I
have
made
you
a
watchman
for
the
children
of
Israel:
so
give ear
to
the
word
of
my
mouth,
and
give
them
word
from
me
of
their danger.
\VS{18}When
I
say
to
the evil-doer,
Death
will
certainly
be
your fate;
and
you
give
him
no
word
of
it
and
say
nothing
to
make clear
to
the evil-doer
the danger
of
his
evil
way,
so
that
he
may
be safe;
that
same
evil
man
will come
to
death
in
his evil-doing;
but
I
will
make
you
responsible
for
his
blood.
\VS{19}But
if
you
give
the evil-doer word
of
his danger,
and
he
is
not
turned
from
his
sin
or
from
his
evil
way,
death
will overtake
him
in
his evil-doing;
but
your
life
will
be safe.
\VS{20}Again,
when
an upright
man,
turning
away
from
his
righteousness,
does
evil,
and
I
put
a
cause
of falling
in
his
way,
death
will overtake
him:
because
you
have
given
him
no word
of
his danger,
death
will overtake
him
in
his evil-doing,
and
there
will
be
no memory
of
the upright
acts
which
he
has
done;
but
I
will
make
you
responsible
for
his
blood.
\VS{21}But
if
you say
to
the upright
man
that
he
is
not
to do evil,
he
will
certainly keep
his
life
because
he
took note
of
your word;
and
your
life
will
be safe.
\VS{22}And
the
hand
of
the
Lord
was
on
me
there;
and
he
said,
Get
up
and
go
out
into
the
valley
and
there
I
will
have
talk
with
you.
\VS{23}Then
I
got
up
and
went
out
into
the
valley;
and
I
saw
the
glory
of
the
Lord resting
there
as
I
had
seen
it
by
the
river
Chebar;
and
I
went
down
on
my
face.
\VS{24}Then
the
spirit
came
into
me
and
put
me
on
my
feet;
and
he
had
talk
with
me
and
said
to
me,
Go
and
keep
yourself
shut
up
inside
your
house.
\VS{25}But
see,
O
son
of
man,
I
will
put bands
on
you, prisoning
you
in
them,
and
you
will
not
go
out
among
them:
\VS{26}And
I
will
make
your
tongue fixed
to
the
roof
of
your
mouth,
so
that
you
have
no voice
and
may
not
make protests
to
them:
for
they
are
an uncontrolled
people.
\VS{27}But
when
I
have
talk
with
you
I
will
make
your
mouth
open,
and
you
are
to
say
to
them,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
Let
the hearer
give ear;
and
as
for
him
who
will
not,
let
him
keep
his ears shut:
for
they
are
an uncontrolled
people.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
you,
son
of
man,
take
a
back
and
put
it
before
you
and
on
it
make
a picture
of
a
town,
even
Jerusalem.
\VS{2}And
make
an attack
on
it, shutting
it
in,
building strong
places
against
it,
and
making high
an earthwork
against
it;
and
put
up tents
against
it,
placing engines
all
round
it
for smashing
down
its
walls.
\VS{3}And
take
a flat
iron
plate,
and
put
it
for
a
wall
of
iron
between
you
and
the
town:
and
let
your
face
be
turned
to
it,
and
it
will
be shut
in
and
you
will
make
an attack
on
it.
This
will
be
a
sign
to
the children
of
Israel.
\VS{4}Then, stretching
yourself
out
on
your
left
side,
take
the
sin
of
the children
of
Israel
on
yourself:
for
as
long
as
you
are stretched
out,
so
long
will
the
sin
of
the children
of
Israel
be
on
you.
\VS{5}For
I
have
had
the
years
of
their
sin measured
for
you
by
a
number
of
days,
even
three
hundred
and
ninety
days:
and
you
will
take
on
yourself
the
sin
of
the children
of
Israel.
\VS{6}And
when
these
days
are
ended, turning
on
your right
side,
you
are
to
take
on
yourself
the
sin
of
the children
of
Judah:
forty
days,
a
day
for
a
year,
I
have
had
it fixed
for
you.
\VS{7}And let
your
face
be
turned
to
where
Jerusalem
is shut
in,
with
your
arm
uncovered,
and
be
a prophet
against
it.
\VS{8}And
see,
I
will
put bands
on
you;
and
you
will
be stretched
out
without
turning
from
one
side
to
the
other
till
the
days
of
your attack
are
ended.
\VS{9}And
take
for
yourself
wheat
and
barley
and different sorts
of
grain,
and
put
them
in
one
vessel
and
make
bread
for
yourself
from
them;
all
the
days
when
you
are stretched
on
your
side
it
will
be
your
food.
\VS{10}And
you
are
to take
your
food
by
weight,
twenty
shekels
a
day:
you
are
to take
it
at regular
times.
\VS{11}And
you are
to take
water
by
measure,
the
sixth
part
of
a
hin:
you are
to take
it
at regular
times.
\VS{12}And let
your
food
be
barley
cakes, cooking
it
before
their
eyes
with
the waste
which comes out
of
a
man.
\VS{13}And
the
Lord
said,
Even
so
the
children
of
Israel
will
have
unclean
bread
for
their
food
among
the
nations
where
I
am driving
them.
\VS{14}Then
I
said,
Ah,
Lord!
see,
my
soul
has
never
been
unclean,
and
I
have
never taken
as
my
food
anything
which
has
come
to
a
natural
death
or
has
been broken
by
beasts,
from
the
time
when
I
was young
even
till
now;
no disgusting
flesh
has
ever
come
into
my
mouth.
\VS{15}Then
he
said
to
me,
See,
I
have
given
you cow's waste
in
place
of man's waste,
and
you
will
make
your
bread ready
on
it.
\VS{16}And
he
said
to
me,
Son
of
man,
see,
I
will take
away
from
Jerusalem
her necessary
bread:
they
will take
their
bread
by
weight
and
with care, measuring
out
their drinking-water
with fear
and wonder:
\VS{17}So
that
they
may
be
in
need
of
bread
and
water
and
be wondering
at
one
another, wasting
away
in
their
sin.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
you,
son
of
man,
take
a
sharp
sword, using
it
like
a haircutter's blade,
and making
it
go
over
your
head
and
the
hair
of
your chin:
and
take
scales
for separating
the
hair
by
weight.
\VS{2}You
are
to
have
a
third
part
burned
with
fire
inside
the
town,
when
the
days
of
the
attack
are
ended;
and
a
third
part
you
are
to
take
and
give
blows
with
the
sword
round
about
it;
and
give
a
third
part
for
the
wind
to
take
away,
and let loose
a
sword
after
them.
\VS{3}And
take
from
them
a
small
number
of hairs, folding
them
in
your
skirts.
\VS{4}And
again
take
some
of
these
and
put
them
in
the
fire,
burning
them
up
in
the
fire;
and
say
to
all
the children
of
Israel,
\VS{5}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
This
is
Jerusalem:
I
have
put
her
among
the
nations,
and
countries
are
round
her
on
every
side;
\VS{6}And
she
has
gone
against
my orders
by doing
evil
more
than
the
nations,
and
against
my
rules
more
than
the
countries
round
her:
for
they
have given
up
my orders,
and
as
for
my
rules,
they
have
not
gone
in
the
way
of
them.
\VS{7}For
this
cause
the
Lord
has
said:
Because
you
have
been
more uncontrolled
than
the
nations
round
about
you,
and
have
not
been guided
by
my
rules
or
kept
my
orders,
but
have
kept
the
orders
of
the
nations
round
about
you;
\VS{8}For
this
cause
the
Lord
has
said:
See,
I,
even
I,
am
against
you;
and
I
will
be judging
among
you
before
the
eyes
of
the
nations.
\VS{9}And
I
will
do
in
you
what
I
have
not
done
and
will
not
do
again,
because
of
all
your
disgusting ways.
\VS{10}For
this cause
fathers
will take
their
sons
for
food
among
you,
and
sons
will
make
a meal
of
their
fathers;
and
I
will
be
judge
among
you,
and
all
the
rest
of
you
I
will send
away
to
every
wind.
\VS{11}For
this cause,
by
my
life,
says
the
Lord,
because
you
have
made
my
holy
place
unclean
with
all
your hated
things
and
all
your
disgusting ways,
you
will
become
disgusting
to
me;
my
eye
will
have
no
mercy
and
I
will
have
no
pity.
\VS{12}A
third
of
you
will
come
to
death
from disease, wasting
away
among
you
through need
of food;
a
third
will
be
put
to
the
sword
round
about
you;
and
a
third
I
will send
away
to
every
wind, letting loose
a
sword
after
them.
\VS{13}So
my
wrath
will
be
complete
and
my
passion
will
come
to
rest
on
them;
and
they
will
be
certain
that
I
the
Lord
have
given
the
word
of decision,
when
my
wrath
against
them
is
complete.
\VS{14}And
I
will
make
you
a
waste
and
a name
of
shame
among
the
nations
round
about
you,
in
the
eyes
of
everyone
who goes
by.
\VS{15}And
you
will
be
a name
of
shame
and
a
cause
of bitter words,
an example
and
a wonder
to
the
nations
round
about
you,
when
I
give effect
to
my judging
among
you
in
wrath
and
in passion
and
in
burning protests:
I
the
Lord
have
said
it:
\VS{16}When
I
send
on
you
the
evil
arrows
of disease, causing
destruction,
which
I
will
send
to
put
an end
to
you;
and,
further,
I
will
take
away
your necessary
food.
\VS{17}And
I
will
send
on
you need
of food
and
evil
beasts,
and
they
will
be
a cause
of loss
to
you;
and disease
and
violent
death
will
go
through
you;
and
I
will
send
the
sword
on
you:
I
the
Lord
have
said
it.

\par }\Chap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}Son
of
man,
let
your
face
be
turned
to
the
mountains
of
Israel,
and
be
a prophet
to
them,
and
say,
\VS{3}You
mountains
of
Israel,
give ear
to
the
words
of
the
Lord:
this
is
what
the
Lord
has
said
to
the
mountains
and
the
hills,
to
the waterways
and
the
valleys:
See,
I,
even
I,
am sending
on
you
a
sword
for
the
destruction
of
your
high
places.
\VS{4}And
your
altars
will
be
made
waste,
and
your sun-images
will
be
broken:
and
I
will
have
your
dead men
placed
before
your images.
\VS{5}And
I
will
put
the
dead
bodies
of
the
children
of
Israel
in
front
of
their images, sending
your
bones
in
all
directions
about
your
altars.
\VS{6}In
all
your living-places
the
towns
will
become
broken walls,
and
the
high
places
made waste;
so
that
your
altars
may
be
broken
down
and
made waste,
and
your images
broken
and ended,
and
so
that
your sun-images
may
be
cut
down
and
your
works rubbed
out.
\VS{7}And
the
dead
will
be
falling
down
among
you,
and
you
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{8}But
still,
I
will keep
a small band safe
from
the
sword
among
the
nations,
when
you
are sent wandering
among
the
countries.
\VS{9}And
those
of
you
who
are
kept safe
will
have
me
in
mind
among
the
nations
where
they
have
been
taken
away
as prisoners,
how
I sent punishment
on
their
hearts
which
were untrue
to
me,
and
on
their
eyes
which
were
turned
to
their false gods:
and
they
will
be
full
of
hate
for
themselves
because
of
the
evil
things
which
they
have
done
in
all
their
disgusting ways.
\VS{10}And
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord:
not
for
nothing
did
I
say
that
I
would
do
this
evil
to
them.
\VS{11}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
Give
blows
with
your
hand, stamping
with
your
foot,
and
say,
O sorrow!
because
of
all
the
evil
and
disgusting ways
of
the children
of
Israel:
for death
will overtake
them
by
the
sword
and
through need
of
food
and
by disease.
\VS{12}He
who
is
far
away
will
come
to
his
death
by disease;
he
who
is
near
will
be
put
to
the
sword;
he
who
is shut up
will
come
to
his
death through need
of food;
and
I
will
give full effect
to
my passion
against
them.
\VS{13}And
you
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord,
when
their
dead
men
are stretched
among
their images
round
about
their
altars
on
every
high
hill,
on
all
the
tops
of
the
mountains,
and
under
every branching
tree,
and
under
every thick oak-tree,
the
places
where
they
made sweet
smells
to
all
their images.
\VS{14}And
my
hand
will
be
stretched
out
against
them,
making
the
land
waste
and unpeopled,
from
the
waste
land
to Riblah,
through
all
their living-places:
and
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{7}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}And
you,
son
of
man,
say,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said
to
the
land
of
Israel:
An
end
has
come,
the
end
has
come
on
the
four quarters
of
the
land.
\VS{3}Now
the
end
has come
on
you,
and
I
will
send
my
wrath
on
you,
judging
you
for
your
ways,
I
will
send punishment
on
you
for
all
your
disgusting
acts.
\VS{4}My
eye
will
not
have
mercy
on
you,
and
I
will
have
no
pity:
but
I
will
send
the punishment
of
your
ways
on
you,
and
your
disgusting
works
will
be
among
you:
and
you
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{5}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
An
evil,
even
one
evil;
see,
it
is
coming.
\VS{6}An
end
has
come,
the
end
has
come;
see,
it
is
coming
on
you.
\VS{7}The crowning
time
has
come
on
you, O
people
of
the
land:
the
time
has
come,
the
day
is
near;
the
day
will
not
be slow
in
coming,
it
will
not
keep
back.
\VS{8}Now,
in
a little
time,
I
will
let
loose
my passion
on
you,
and
give
full effect
to
my
wrath
against
you,
judging
you
for
your
ways,
and sending punishment
on
you
for
all
your
disgusting
works.
\VS{9}My
eye
will
not
have
mercy,
and
I
will
have
no
pity:
I
will
send
on
you
the punishment
of
your
ways,
and
your
disgusting
works
will
be
among
you;
and
you
will
see
that
I
am
the
Lord
who
gives punishment.
\VS{10}See,
the
day;
see,
it
is
coming:
the crowning
time
has
gone
out;
the twisted way
is flowering,
pride
has
put
out buds.
\VS{11}Violent behaviour
has
been lifted
up into
a
rod
of
evil;
it
will
not
be slow
in coming,
it
will
not keep back.
\VS{12}The
time
has
come,
the
day
is
near:
let
not
him
who gives
a price
for goods
be
glad,
or
him
who
gets
the price
have sorrow:
\VS{13}For
the trader
will
not
go
back
to
the
things
for which
he
had
his price,
even
while
he
is
still
living:
\VS{14}And
he
who
has
given
a price
for goods
will
not
get
them,
for
my
wrath
is
on
all
of
them.
\VS{15}Outside
is
the
sword,
and
inside disease
and need
of
food:
he
who
is
in
the
open
country
will
be
put
to
the
sword;
he
who
is
in
the
town
will come
to
his end
through need
of
food
and disease.
\VS{16}And
those
of
them
who get
away safely
will
go
and
be
in
the secret
places
like
the
doves
of
the
valleys,
all
of
them
will
come
to death,
every
one
in
his
sin.
\VS{17}All
hands
will
be
feeble
and
all
knees without
strength, like
water.
\VS{18}And
they
will
put haircloth round
them,
and deep fear
will
be
covering
them;
and
shame
will
be
on
all
faces,
and
the
hair gone
from
all
their
heads.
\VS{19}They
will put
out
their
silver
into
the
streets,
and
their
gold
will
be
as
an
unclean
thing;
their
silver
and
their
gold
will
not
be
able
to keep
them safe
in
the
day
of
the
wrath
of
the
Lord;
they
will
not
get
their
desire
or
have food
for
their need:
because
it
has
been
the
cause
of
their falling
into
sin.
\VS{20}As
for
their
beautiful ornament,
they
had
put
it
on high,
and
had
made
the
images
of
their
disgusting
and hated
things
in
it:
for
this
cause
I
have
made
it
an
unclean
thing
to
them.
\VS{21}And
I
will
give
it
into
the
hands
of
men
from
strange
lands
who
will
take
it
by
force,
and
to
the evil-doers
of
the
earth
to
have
for themselves;
and
they
will
make
it unholy.
\VS{22}And
my
face
will be
turned
away
from
them,
and
they
will
make
my
secret
place unholy:
violent men
will
go
into
it
and
make
it unholy.
\VS{23}Make
the
chain:
for
the
land
is
full
of
crimes
of
blood,
and
the
town
is
full
of
violent
acts.
\VS{24}For
this reason
I
will send
the worst
of
the
nations
and
they
will
take
their
houses
for
themselves:
I
will make
the
pride
of
their strength
come
to
an end;
and
their
holy
places
will
be
made unclean.
\VS{25}Shaking fear
is
coming;
and
they
will
be
looking
for
peace,
and
there
will
be
no
peace.
\VS{26}Destruction
will
come
on
destruction,
and
one story
after
another;
and
the
vision
of
the
prophet
will
be shamed,
and knowledge
of
the
law
will
come
to
an end
among
the
priests,
and wisdom
among
the
old.
\VS{27}The
king
will give
himself
up
to sorrow,
and
the
ruler
will
be
clothed
with wonder,
and
the
hands
of
the
people
of
the
land
will
be troubled:
I
will give
them
punishment
for
their
ways,
judging
them
as
it
is
right
for
them
to
be
judged;
and
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{8}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
in
the
sixth
year,
in
the
sixth
month,
on
the
fifth
day
of
the
month,
when
I
was
in
my
house
and
the responsible
men
of
Judah
were
seated
before
me,
the
hand
of
the
Lord
came
on
me
there.
\VS{2}And
looking,
I
saw
a
form
like
fire;
from
the middle
of
his
body
and
down
there
was
fire:
and
up
from
the middle
of
his
body
a sort
of shining,
like electrum.
\VS{3}And
he
put
out
the
form
of
a
hand
and
took
me
by
the
hair
of
my
head;
and
the
wind, lifting
me
up
between
the
earth
and
the
heaven,
took
me
in
the
visions
of
God
to
Jerusalem,
to
the
way
into
the
inner
door
facing
to
the
north;
where
was
the
seat
of
the
image
of
envy.
\VS{4}And
I
saw
the
glory
of
the Lord
there,
as
in
the
vision
which
I
saw
in
the
valley.
\VS{5}Then
he
said
to
me,
Son
of
man,
now
let
your
eyes
be
lifted
up
in
the
direction
of
the
north;
and
on looking
in
the
direction
of
the
north,
to
the
north
of
the doorway
of
the
altar,
I
saw
this image
of
envy
by
the
way
in.
\VS{6}And
he
said
to
me,
Son
of
man,
do
you
see
what
they
are
doing?
even
the
very
disgusting
things
which
the
children
of
Israel
are
doing
here, causing
me
to
go
far
away
from
my
holy
place?
but
you
will
see
other most
disgusting
things.
\VS{7}And
he
took
me
to
the
door
of
the open
place;
and
looking,
I
saw
a
hole
in
the
wall.
\VS{8}And
he
said
to
me,
Son
of
man, make
a hole
in
the
wall:
and
after making
a hole
in
the
wall
I
saw
a
door.
\VS{9}And
he
said
to
me,
Go
in
and
see
the
evil
and
disgusting
things
which
they
are
doing
here.
\VS{10}So
I
went
in
and
saw;
and
there
every sort
of living
thing
which
goes flat
on
the earth,
and unclean
beasts,
and
all
the images
of
the children
of
Israel,
were pictured
round
about
on
the
wall.
\VS{11}And
before
them
seventy
of
the responsible
men
of
the
children
of
Israel
had
taken
their
places,
every
man
with
a vessel
for burning perfumes
in
his
hand,
and
in
the
middle
of
them
was
Jaazaniah,
the
son
of
Shaphan;
and
a
cloud
of
smoke
went
up
from
the burning
perfume.
\VS{12}And
he
said
to
me,
Son
of
man,
have
you
seen
what
the
responsible
men
of
the
children
of
Israel
do
in
the
dark,
every
man
in
his
room
of pictured
images?
for
they
say,
The
Lord
does
not
see
us;
the
Lord
has
gone
away
from
the
land.
\VS{13}Then
he
said
to
me,
You
will
see
even
more
disgusting
things
which
they
do.
\VS{14}Then
he
took
me
to
the
door
of
the way
into
the Lord's
house looking
to
the
north;
and
there
women
were
seated
weeping
for
Tammuz.
\VS{15}Then
he
said
to
me,
Have
you
seen
this, O
son
of
man?
you
will
see
even
more
disgusting
things
than
these.
\VS{16}And
he
took
me
into
the
inner square
of
the Lord's
house,
and
at
the
door
of
the
Temple
of
the
Lord,
between
the covered
way
and
the
altar,
there
were
about
twenty-five
men
with
their
backs
turned
to
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
and
their
faces
turned
to
the
east;
and
they
were worshipping
the
sun, turning
to
the
east.
\VS{17}Then
he
said
to
me,
Have
you
seen
this,
O
son
of
man?
is
it
a
small
thing
to
the
children
of
Judah
that
they
do
the
disgusting
things
which
they
are
doing
here?
for
they
have
made
the
land
full
of
violent behaviour,
making
me
angry
again
and
again:
and
see,
they
put
the
branch
to
my
nose.
\VS{18}For
this reason
I
will
let loose
my
wrath:
my
eye
will
not
have
mercy,
and
I
will
have
no
pity.

\par }\Chap{9}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
crying
out
in
my
hearing
in
a
loud
voice,
he
said, Let
the overseers
of

town
come
near,
every
man armed.
\VS{2}And
six
men
came
from

way
of

to

with

in

was
clothed
in
linen,
with
a writer's inkpot
at
his
side.
And
they
went
in
and
took
their places
by
the
brass
altar.
\VS{3}And
the
glory
of
the
God
of
Israel
had
gone
up
from
the winged ones
on
which
it
was resting,
to
the doorstep
of
the
house.
And
crying
out
to
the
man
clothed
in
linen
who
had
the writer's inkpot
at
his
side,
\VS{4}The
Lord
said
to
him,
Go
through
the
town,
through
the
middle
of
Jerusalem,
and
put
a mark
on
the brows
of
the
men
who
are sorrowing
and crying
for
all
the
disgusting
things which
are
done
in
it.
\VS{5}And
to
these
he
said
in
my
hearing,
Go
through
the
town
after
him using
your axes:
do
not
let
your
eyes
have
mercy,
and
have
no
pity:
\VS{6}Give
up
to
destruction
old
men
and
young
men
and
virgins,
little
children
and
women:
but
do
not
come
near
any
man
who
has
the mark
on
him:
and
make
a start
at
my
holy
place.
So
they
made
a start
with
the
old
men
who
were
before
the
house.
\VS{7}And
he
said
to
them,
Make
the
house
unclean,
make
the open
places
full
of
dead:
go
forward
and
send destruction
on
the
town.
\VS{8}Now
while
they
were doing
so,
and
I
was untouched,
I
went
down
on
my
face,
and
crying
out,
I
said,
Ah,
Lord!
will
you
give
all
the
rest
of
Israel
to
destruction
in letting
loose
your
wrath
on
Jerusalem?
\VS{9}Then
he
said
to
me,
The
sin
of
the children
of
Israel
and
Judah
is
very,
very
great,
and
the
land
is
full
of
blood
and
the
town
full
of
evil ways:
for
they
say,
The
Lord
has
gone
away
from
the
land,
and
the
Lord
does
not
see.
\VS{10}And
as
for
me,
my
eye
will
not
have
mercy,
and
I
will
have
no
pity,
but
I
will
send
the punishment
of
their
ways
on
their
heads.
\VS{11}Then
the
man
clothed
in
linen,
who
had
the inkpot
at
his
side,
came
back
and
said,
I
have
done
what
you
gave
me
orders
to
do.

\par }\Chap{10}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
looking,
I
saw
that
on
the arch
which
was
over
the
head
of
the winged ones
there
was
seen
over
them
what
seemed
like
a
sapphire
stone, having
the
form
of
a king's
seat.
\VS{2}And
he
said
to
the
man
clothed
in
linen,
Go
in
between
the
wheels,
under
the winged ones,
and
get
your two
hands
full
of
burning
coals
from
between
the winged ones
and send
them
in
a shower
over
the
town.
And
he
went
in
before
my
eyes.
\VS{3}Now
the winged
ones
were
stationed
on
the
right
side
of
the
house
when
the
man
went
in;
and
the
inner square
was
full
of
the
cloud.
\VS{4}And
the
glory
of
the
Lord
went
up
from
the winged ones
and came
to rest
over
the doorstep
of
the
house;
and
the
house
was
full
of
the
cloud
and
the open square
was
full
of
the shining
of
the Lord's
glory.
\VS{5}And
the
sound
of
the
wings
of
the
winged ones
was clear
even
in
the
outer square,
like
the
voice
of
the Ruler
of
all.
\VS{6}And
when
he
gave
orders
to
the
man
clothed
in
linen,
saying,
Take
fire
from
between
the
wheels,
from
between
the winged
ones,
then
he
went
in
and
took
his
place
at
the
side
of
a
wheel.
\VS{7}And stretching
out
his
hand
to
the
fire
which
was
between
the winged ones,
he
took
some
of
it
and
went
out.
\VS{8}And
I
saw
the
form
of
a man's
hands
among
the
winged ones
under
their
wings.
\VS{9}And
looking,
I
saw
four
wheels
by
the
side
of
the winged ones,
one
wheel
by
the
side
of
a winged
one
and
another
wheel
by
the
side
of
another:
and
the
wheels
were
like
the colour
of
a
beryl
stone
to
the
eye.
\VS{10}In
form
the
four
of
them
were
all
the
same,
they seemed
like
a
wheel
inside
a
wheel.
\VS{11}When
they
were moving,
they
went
on
their
four
sides
without
turning;
they
went
after
the
head
in
the
direction
in
which
it
was looking;
they
went
without
turning.
\VS{12}And
the
edges
of
the
four
wheels
were
full
of
eyes
round
about.
\VS{13}As
for
the
wheels,
they
were
named
in
my
hearing,
the circling
wheels.
\VS{14}And
every
one
had
four
faces:
the
first
face
was
the
face
of
a winged
one,
and
the
second
was
the
face
of
a
man,
and
the
third
the
face
of
a
lion,
and
the
fourth
the
face
of
an
eagle.
\VS{15}And
the winged ones went
up
on high:
this
is
the
living being
which
I
saw
by
the
river
Chebar.
\VS{16}And
when
the
winged ones
went,
the
wheels
went
by
their
side:
and
when
their
wings
were
lifted
to
take
them
up
from
the
earth,
the
wheels
were
not
turned
from
their
side.
\VS{17}When
they were
at rest
in
their
place, these were
at rest;
when
they were
lifted
up, these
went
up
with
them:
for
the
spirit
of
life
was
in
them.
\VS{18}Then
the
glory
of
the
Lord
went
out
from
the doorstep
of
the
house,
and
came
to rest
over
the winged
ones.
\VS{19}And
the
winged
ones, lifting
up
their
wings,
went
up
from
the
earth
before
my
eyes,
with
the
wheels
by
their
side:
and
they
came
to rest
at
the
east
doorway
of
the Lord's
house;
and
the
glory
of
the
God
of
Israel
was
over
them
on
high.
\VS{20}This
is
the
living
being
which
I
saw
under
the
God
of
Israel
by
the
river
Chebar;
and
it
was clear
to
me
that
they
were
the winged ones.
\VS{21}Every
one
had
four
faces
and
every
one
had
four
wings;
and
hands
like
a man's
hands
were
under
their
wings.
\VS{22}As
for
the
form
of
their
faces,
they
were
the
faces
whose
form
I
saw
by
the
river
Chebar;
when
they
went,
every
one
of
them
went
straight
forward.

\par }\Chap{11}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
wind, lifting
me
up,
took
me
to
the
east
doorway
of
the Lord's
house,
looking
to
the
east:
and
at
the
door
I
saw
twenty-five
men;
and
among
them
I
saw
Jaazaniah,
the
son
of
Azzur,
and
Pelatiah,
the
son
of
Benaiah,
rulers
of
the
people.
\VS{2}Then
he
said
to
me,
Son
of
man,
these
are
the
men
who
are designing
evil,
who
are teaching
evil ways
in
this
town:
\VS{3}Who
say,
This
is
not
the time
for
building
houses:
this town
is
the cooking-pot
and
we
are
the
flesh.
\VS{4}For
this cause
be
a prophet
against
them,
be
a prophet, O
son
of
man.
\VS{5}And
the
spirit
of
the
Lord
came
on
me,
and
he
said
to
me,
Say, These
are
the words
of
the
Lord:
This
is
what
you
have
said,
O children
of
Israel;
what comes
into
your
mind
is clear
to
me.
\VS{6}You have made great
the
number
of
your
dead
in
this
town,
you have made
its
streets
full
of
dead men.
\VS{7}For
this
reason
the
Lord
has
said:
Your
dead
whom
you
have
put
down
in
its streets,
they
are
the
flesh,
and
this town
is
the cooking-pot:
but
I
will
make
you
come
out
from
inside
it.
\VS{8}You
have been fearing
the
sword,
and
I
will send
the
sword
on
you,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{9}I
will
make
you
come
out
from
inside
the town
and
will
give
you
up
into
the
hands
of
men
from
other lands,
and
will
be
judge
among
you.
\VS{10}You
will
come
to
your death
by
the
sword;
and
I
will
be
your
judge
in
the
land
of
Israel;
and
you
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{11}This town
will
not
be
your cooking-pot,
and
you
will
not
be
the
flesh
inside
it;
I
will
be
your
judge
at
the limit
of
the
land
of
Israel;
\VS{12}And
you
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord:
for
you
have
not
been guided
by
my
rules
or given effect
to
my orders,
but
you
have
been
living
by
the orders
of
the
nations
round
about
you.
\VS{13}Now
while
I
was
saying
these
things,
death
came
to
Pelatiah,
the
son
of
Benaiah.
Then
falling
down
on
my
face
and
crying
out
with
a
loud
voice,
I
said,
Ah,
Lord!
will
you
put
an
end
to
all
the
rest
of
Israel?
\VS{14}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{15}Son
of
man,
your
countrymen,
your relations,
and
all
the
children
of
Israel,
all
of
them,
are
those
to
whom
the
people
of
Jerusalem
have
said,
Go
far
from
the
Lord;
this
land
is
given
to
us
for
a heritage:
\VS{16}For
this
reason
say,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
Though
I
have
had
them
moved
far off
among
the
nations,
and
though
I
have
sent
them wandering
among
the
countries,
still
I
have
been
a safe
place
for
them
for
a
little
time
in
the
countries
where
they
have
come.
\VS{17}Then
say,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
I
will get
you
together
from
the
peoples,
and
make
you come
out
of
the
countries
where
you
have
been
sent
in flight,
and
I
will
give
you
the
land
of
Israel.
\VS{18}And
they
will
come
there,
and
take
away
all
the hated
and
disgusting
things
from
it.
\VS{19}And
I
will
give
them
a
new
heart,
and
I
will
put
a
new
spirit
in
them;
and
I
will
take
the
heart
of
stone out
of
their
flesh
and
give
them
a
heart
of
flesh:
\VS{20}So
that
they
may
be guided
by
my
rules
and
keep
my orders
and
do
them:
and
they
will
be
to
me
a
people,
and
I
will
be
to
them
a
God.
\VS{21}But
as
for
those whose
heart
goes
after
their hated
and
disgusting
things,
I
will
send
on
their
heads
the punishment
of
their
ways,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{22}Then
the
wings
of
the
winged ones
were
lifted
up,
and
the
wheels
were
by
their
side;
and
the
glory
of
the
God
of
Israel
was
over
them
on
high.
\VS{23}And
the
glory
of
the
Lord
went
up
from
inside
the
town,
and
came
to rest
on
the
mountain
on
the
east side
of
the
town.
\VS{24}And
the
wind, lifting
me
up,
took
me
in
the visions
of
God
into Chaldaea,
to
those
who
had
been
taken
away
as prisoners.
So
the
vision
which
I
had
seen
went
away
from
me.
\VS{25}Then
I gave
an
account
to
those
who
had
been taken prisoners
of
all
the
things
which
the
Lord
had
made
me
see.

\par }\Chap{12}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}Son
of
man,
you
are
living
among
an uncontrolled
people,
who
have
eyes
to
see
but
see
not,
and
ears
for
hearing
but
they
do
not
give
ear;
for
they
are
an uncontrolled
people.
\VS{3}And
you,
O
son
of
man,
by
day,
before
their
eyes, get ready
the
vessels
of
one
who
is
taken
away,
and
go
away
from
your
place
to
another
place
before
their
eyes:
it
may
be
that
they
will
see,
though
they
are
an uncontrolled
people.
\VS{4}By
day,
before
their
eyes,
take
out
your
vessels
like those
of one
who
is
taken
away:
and
go
out
in
the
evening
before
their
eyes,
like those
who
are
taken
away
as prisoners.
\VS{5}Make
a hole
in
the
wall,
before
their
eyes,
and
go
out
through it.
\VS{6}And
before
their
eyes,
take
your goods
on
your
back
and
go
out
in
the
dark;
go
with
your
face
covered:
for
I
have
made
you
a
sign
to
the children
of
Israel.
\VS{7}And
I
did
as
I
was
ordered:
I
took
out
my
vessels
by
day,
like
those
of
one
who
is
taken
away,
and
in
the
evening
I
made
a hole
through
the
wall
with
a tent-pin;
and
in
the
dark
I
went
out, taking
my
things
on
my
back
before
their
eyes.
\VS{8}And
in
the
morning
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{9}Son
of
man,
has
not
Israel,
the uncontrolled
people,
said
to
you,
What
are
you
doing?
\VS{10}You
are
to
say
to
them,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
This
word
has
to
do
with
the ruler
in
Jerusalem
and
all
the children
of
Israel
in
it.
\VS{11}Say,
I
am
your
sign:
as
I
have
done,
so
will
it be
done
to
them:
they
will go away
as
prisoners.
\VS{12}And
the ruler
who
is
among
them
will
take
his goods
on
his
back
in
the
dark
and
go
out:
he
will
make
a hole
in
the
wall
through
which
to
go
out:
he
will
have
his
face
covered
so
that
he
may
not
be
seen.
\VS{13}And
my
net
will
be
stretched
out
on
him,
and
he
will
be
taken
in
my cords:
and
I
will
take
him
to
Babylon
to
the
land
of
the Chaldaeans;
but
he
will
not
see
it,
and
there
death
will
come
to
him.
\VS{14}And
all
his
helpers
round
about
him
and
all
his armies
I
will send
in flight
to
every
wind;
and
I
will let loose
a
sword
after
them.
\VS{15}And
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord,
when
I send
them
in flight
among
the
nations, driving
them
out
through
the
countries.
\VS{16}But
a small
number
of
them
I
will
keep
from
the
sword,
from
the
need
of food,
and
from disease,
so
that
they
may
make
clear
all
their
disgusting ways
among
the
nations
where
they
come;
and
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{17}Then
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{18}Son
of
man, take
your
food
with
shaking fear,
and
your
water
with trouble
and care;
\VS{19}And
say
to
the
people
of
the
land,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said
about
the
people
of
Jerusalem
and
the
land
of
Israel:
They
will
take
their
food
with care
and
their
drink
with wonder,
so
that
all
the wealth
of
their
land
may
be
taken
from
it
because
of
the
violent ways
of
the
people
living
in
it.
\VS{20}And
the peopled
towns
will
be
made
waste,
and
the
land
will
become
a wonder;
and
you
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{21}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{22}Son
of
man,
what
is
this
saying
which
you
have
about
the
land
of
Israel,
The
time
is
long
and
every
vision
comes
to
nothing?
\VS{23}For
this
cause
say
to
them,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
I
have
made
this
saying
come
to
an end,
and
it
will
no
longer
be
used
as
a common
saying
in
Israel;
but
say
to
them,
The
days
are
near,
and
the
effect
of
every
vision.
\VS{24}For
there
will
be
no
more
false
visions
or
smooth
use
of secret arts
in
Israel.
\VS{25}For
I
am
the
Lord;
I
will
say
the
word
and
what
I
say
I
will
do;
it
will
not
be put
off:
for
in
your
days,
O uncontrolled
people,
I
will
say
the
word
and
do
it,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{26}Again
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{27}Son
of
man,
see,
the
children
of
Israel
say,
The
vision
which
he
sees
is
for
the
days
which
are
a
long way
off,
and
his words
are
of
times
still
far
away.
\VS{28}Say
to
them
then,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
Not
one
of
my
words
will
be put off
any
longer,
but
what
I
say
I
will
do,
says
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{13}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}Son
of
man,
be
a
prophet
against
the
prophets
of
Israel,
and
say
to
those
prophets
whose
words
are
the invention
of
their
hearts,
Give ear
to
the
word
of
the
Lord;
\VS{3}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
A curse
on
the
foolish
prophets
who
go
after
the
spirit
which
is
in
them
and
have
seen
nothing!
\VS{4}O
Israel,
your
prophets
have
been
like
jackals
in
the
waste
places.
\VS{5}You
have
not
gone
up
into
the broken
places
or
made
up
the
wall
for
the children
of
Israel
to
take
your
place
in
the
fight
in
the
day
of
the
Lord.
\VS{6}They
have
seen
visions
without substance
and made
use
of secret arts,
who
say,
The
Lord
has
said;
and
the
Lord
has
not
sent
them: hoping
that
the
word
would
have
effect.
\VS{7}Have
you
not
seen
a
vision
without substance
and
have
you
not falsely
made use
of secret arts,
when
you
say,
The
Lord
has
said; though
I
have
said
nothing?
\VS{8}So
this
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
Because
your words are without substance
and
your
visions are
false,
see,
I
am
against
you,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{9}And
my
hand
will
be
against
the
prophets
who
see
visions
without substance
and
who
make
false
use
of
secret arts:
they
will
not
be
in
the
secret
of
my
people,
and
they
will
not
be
recorded
in
the list
of
the children
of
Israel,
and
they
will
not
come
into
the
land
of
Israel;
and
it
will
be clear
to
you
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{10}Because,
even
because
they
have been guiding
my
people into error,
saying,
Peace;
when
there
is
no
peace;
and
in
the
building
of
a division
wall
they put whitewash
on
it:
\VS{11}Say
to
those
who put whitewash
on
it,
There
will
be
an
overflowing
shower;
and
you,
O ice-drops,
will
come raining
down;
and
it
will
be
broken
in two
by
the storm-wind.
\VS{12}And
when
the
wall
has
come
down,
will
they
not
say
to
you,
Where
is
the whitewash
which
you put
on
it?
\VS{13}For
this
reason,
the
Lord
has
said:
I
will
have
it
broken
in two
by
a storm-wind
in
my passion;
and
there
will
be
an
overflowing
shower
in
my
wrath,
and
you,
O ice-drops,
will
come raining
angrily
down.
\VS{14}So
I
will
let
the
wall,
which
you
were covering
with whitewash,
be
broken
down;
I
will
have
it levelled
to
the
earth
so
that
its
base
is
uncovered:
it
will
come
down,
and
destruction
will
come
on
you
with
it;
and
it
will
be clear
to
you
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{15}So
I
will let loose
my passion
on
the
wall
in full measure,
and
on
those
who
put whitewash
on
it;
and
I
will
say
to
you, Where
is
the
wall,
and where
are
those
who
put whitewash
on
it?
\VS{16}Even
the
prophets
of
Israel
who
say words
to
Jerusalem,
who see
visions
of
peace
for
her
when
there
is
no
peace,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{17}And
you,
son
of
man,
let
your
face
be
turned
against
the
daughters
of
your
people,
who
are acting
the
part
of prophets
at
their pleasure;
be
a prophet
against
them,
and say,
\VS{18}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
A curse
is
on
the women
who
are stitching
bands
on
all
arms
and putting
veils
on
the
heads
of
those
of
every size,
so
that
they
may go
after
souls!
Will
you go
after
the
souls
of
my
people
and
keep
yourselves safe
from
death?
\VS{19}And
you
have
put
me
to shame
among
my
people
for
a little
barley
and
some
bits
of
bread, sending
death
on
souls
for
whom
there
is
no cause
of
death,
and keeping
those
souls
living
who
have
no right
to
life,
by
the
false words
you say
to
my
people
who
give ear
to
what
is
false.
\VS{20}For
this cause
the
Lord
has
said:
See,
I
am
against
your
bands
with
which
you
go
after
souls,
and
I
will violently take
them
off
their
arms;
and
I
will
let
loose
the
souls,
even
the
souls
whom
you
go
after
freely.
\VS{21}And
I
will
have
your
veils
violently parted
in
two,
and
will
make
my
people free
from
your
hands,
and
they
will
no
longer
be
in
your
power
for
you
to
go
after
them;
and
you
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{22}Because
with
your
false words
you
have
given
pain
to
the
heart
of
the upright
man
when
I
had
not
made
him sad;
in
order
to
make
strong
the
hands
of
the evil-doer
so
that
he
may
not
be
turned
from
his
evil
way
and
get
life:
\VS{23}For
this cause
you
will
see
no
more foolish
visions
or
make
false
use
of secret arts:
and
I
will
make
my
people free
from
your
power;
and
you
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{14}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
certain
of
the responsible
men
of
Israel
came
to
me
and
took
their seats
before
me.
\VS{2}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{3}Son
of
man,
these
men
have
taken
their false gods
into
their
hearts
and
put
before
their
faces
the
sin
which
is
the
cause
of
their
fall: am
I
to
give ear
when
they
come
to
me
for
directions?
\VS{4}For
this cause
say
to
them,
These
are
the words
of
the
Lord:
Every
man
of
Israel
who
has
taken
his false
god
into
his
heart,
and
put
before
his
face
the
sin
which
is
the cause
of
his
fall,
and
comes
to
the
prophet;
I
the
Lord
will
give
him
an
answer
by
myself
in agreement
with
the
number
of
his false gods;
\VS{5}So
as
to
take
the children
of
Israel
in
the
thoughts
of
their
hearts,
because
they
have become
strange
to
me
through
their false gods.
\VS{6}For
this
cause
say
to
the children
of
Israel,
These
are
the words
of
the
Lord:
Come
back
and
give
up
your false gods
and
let
your
faces
be
turned
from
your
disgusting
things.
\VS{7}When
any
one
of
the
men
of
Israel,
or
of
those
from
other
lands
who
are
living
in
Israel,
who
has become strange
to
me,
and
takes
his false gods
into
his
heart,
and
puts
before
his
face
the
sin
which
is
the cause
of
his
fall,
comes
to
the
prophet
to
get
directions
from
me;
I
the
Lord
will
give
him
an
answer
by
myself:
\VS{8}And
my
face
will
be
turned
against
that
man,
and
I
will
make
him
a
sign
and
a common saying, cutting
him
off
from
among
my
people;
and
you
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{9}And
if
the
prophet, tricked
by deceit,
says
anything,
it
is
I
the
Lord
by whom
he
has
been tricked,
and
I
will
put
out
my
hand
against
him,
and
he
will
be cut
off
from
among
my
people
Israel.
\VS{10}And
the
punishment
of
their
sin
will
be
on
them:
the
sin
of
the
prophet
will
be
the same
as
the
sin
of
him
who goes
to
him
for directions;
\VS{11}So
that
the children
of
Israel
may
no
longer
go
wandering
away
from
me,
or
make
themselves
unclean
with
all
their wrongdoing;
but
they
will
be
my
people,
and
I
will
be
their
God,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{12}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{13}Son
of
man,
when
a
land,
sinning
against
me, does
wrong,
and
my
hand
is
stretched
out
against
it,
and
the
support
of
its
bread
is
broken,
and
I
make
it short
of
food, cutting
off
man
and
beast
from
it:
\VS{14}Even
if
these
three
men,
Noah,
Daniel,
and
Job,
were
in
it,
only
themselves
would
they keep safe
by
their
righteousness,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{15}Or
if
I send
evil
beasts
through
the
land causing
destruction
and making
it
waste,
so
that
no man
may
go
through
because
of
the
beasts:
\VS{16}Even
if
these
three
men
were
in
it,
by
my
life,
says
the
Lord,
they
would
not keep safe
their
sons
or
daughters,
but
only
themselves,
and
the
land
would
be
made
waste.
\VS{17}Or
if
I send
a
sword
against
that
land,
and
say,
Sword,
go
through
the
land, cutting
off
from
it
man
and
beast:
\VS{18}Even
if
these
three
men
were
in
it,
by
my
life,
says
the
Lord,
they
would
not keep safe
their
sons
or
daughters,
but
only
themselves.
\VS{19}Or
if
I
send disease
into
that
land,
letting
loose
my
wrath
on
it
in
blood, cutting
off
from
it
man
and
beast:
\VS{20}Even
if
Noah,
Daniel,
and
Job
were
in
it,
by
my
life,
says
the
Lord,
they
would
not keep
son
or
daughter safe;
only
themselves
would
they keep safe
through
their
righteousness.
\VS{21}For
this
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
How
much
more
when
I
send
my
four bitter punishments
on
Jerusalem,
the
sword
and need
of food
and
evil
beasts
and disease, cutting
off
from
it
man
and
beast?
\VS{22}But truly,
there
will still
be
a small band
who
will
be safe,
even
sons
and
daughters:
and
they
will
come
out
to
you,
and
you
will
see
their
ways
and
their doings:
and
you
will
be
comforted
about
the
evil
which
I
have
sent
on
Jerusalem,
even
about
everything
I
have
sent
on
it.
\VS{23}They
will
give
you
comfort
when
you
see
their
ways
and
their doings:
and
you
will
be
certain
that
not
for
nothing
have
I
done
all
the
things
I
have
done
in
it,
says
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{15}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}Son
of
man,
what
is
the vine-tree more
than
any branching
tree
which
is among
the
trees
of
the
woods?
\VS{3}Will
its
wood
be
used
for
any
work?
do
men
make
of
it
a
pin
for
hanging
any
vessel
on?
\VS{4}See,
it
is
put
into
the
fire
for
burning:
the
fire
has
made
a meal
of
its
two
ends
and
the
middle
part
of
it
is
burned;
is
it good
for
any
work?
\VS{5}Truly,
before
it
was cut
down,
it
was
not
used
for
any
purpose:
how
much
less,
when
the
fire
has
made
a meal
of
it
and
it
is
burned,
will
it
be
made
into
anything?
\VS{6}For
this
cause
the
Lord
has
said:
Like
the vine-tree
among
the
trees
of
the
woods
which
I
have
given
to
the
fire
for
burning,
so
will
I
give
the
people
of
Jerusalem.
\VS{7}And
my
face
will
be
turned
against
them;
and
though
they
have
come
out
of
the
fire
they
will
be burned
up
by
it;
and
it
will
be
clear
to
you
that
I
am
the
Lord
when
my
face
is
turned
against
them.
\VS{8}And
I
will
make
the
land
a
waste
because
they
have done evil,
says
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{16}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}Son
of
man,
make clear
to
Jerusalem
her
disgusting ways,
\VS{3}And
say,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said
to
Jerusalem:
Your start
and
your
birth
was
from
the
land
of
the
Canaanite;
an
Amorite
was
your
father
and
your
mother
was
a
Hittite.
\VS{4}As
for
your
birth,
on
the
day
of
your
birth
your
cord
was
not
cut
and
you
were
not
washed
in
water
to
make
you clean;
you
were
not salted
or folded
in linen bands.
\VS{5}No
eye
had
pity
on
you
to
do
any
of
these
things
to
you
or
to
be kind
to
you;
but
you
were put
out
into
the
open
country,
because
your
life
was hated
at
the
time
of
your
birth.
\VS{6}And
when
I went past
you
and
saw
you stretched
out
in
your
blood,
I
said
to
you, Though
you
are stretched
out
in
your
blood,
have
life;
\VS{7}And
be
increased
in
number
like
the buds
of
the
field;
and
you were
increased
and
became
great,
and
you
came
to
the time
of love:
your
breasts were
formed
and
your
hair
was
long;
but
you were uncovered
and without clothing.
\VS{8}Now
when
I
went past
you,
looking
at
you,
I
saw
that
your
time
was
the
time
of
love;
and
I
put
my
skirts
over
you,
covering
your unclothed body:
and
I
gave
you
my
oath
and
made
an
agreement
with
you,
says
the
Lord,
and
you
became mine.
\VS{9}Then
I
had
you
washed
with
water,
washing
away all
your
blood
and rubbing
you
with
oil.
\VS{10}And I had
you
clothed
with needlework,
and
put leather shoes
on
your feet, folding fair
linen about
you
and
covering
you
with
silk.
\VS{11}And
I
made
you fair
with
ornaments
and
put
jewels
on
your
hands
and
a
chain
on
your
neck.
\VS{12}And
I
put
a
ring
in
your
nose
and ear-rings
in
your
ears
and
a
beautiful
crown
on
your
head.
\VS{13}So
you were made
beautiful
with
gold
and
silver;
and
your clothing
was
of
the best
linen
and
silk
and needlework;
your
food
was
the best meal
and
honey
and
oil:
and
you were
very
beautiful.
\VS{14}You
were
so
beautiful
that
the story
of
you
went
out
into
all
nations;
you
were
completely
beautiful
because
of
my glory
which
I
had
put
on
you,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{15}But
you
put
your faith
in
the fact
that
you
were
beautiful, acting
like
a
loose
woman
because
you
were widely talked
of,
and offering
your cheap love
to
everyone
who
went
by,
whoever
it might
be.
\VS{16}And
you
took
your
robes
and
made
high
places
for
yourself ornamented
with every colour, acting
like
a
loose woman
on
them,
without shame
or fear.
\VS{17}And
you
took
the fair
jewels,
my
silver
and
gold
which
I
had
given
to
you,
and
made
for
yourself
male
images, acting
like
a loose woman
with
them;
\VS{18}And
you
took
your
robes
of needlework
for
their
clothing,
and
put
my
oil
and
my
perfume
before
them.
\VS{19}And
my
bread
which
I
gave
you,
the best
meal
and
oil
and
honey
which
I
gave
you
for
your
food,
you
put
it
before
them
for
a sweet smell,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{20}And
you
took
your
sons
and
your
daughters
whom
I
had
by
you,
offering
even
these
to
them
to
be
their
food.
Was
your loose behaviour
so
small
a
thing,
\VS{21}That
you
put
my
children
to death
and
gave
them
up
to
go
through
the fire
to
them?
\VS{22}And
in
all
your
disgusting
and false behaviour
you
had
no memory
of
your early
days,
when
you
were uncovered
and
without clothing, stretched
out
in
your
blood.
\VS{23}And
it
came
about,
after
all
your evil-doing,
says
the
Lord,
\VS{24}That
you
made
for yourself
an arched room
in
every
open
place.
\VS{25}You put
up
your
high
places
at
the
top
of
every
street,
and
made
the grace
of
your form
a disgusting
thing, opening
your
feet
to
everyone
who
went
by, increasing
your loose
ways.
\VS{26}And
you
went
with
the
Egyptians,
your neighbours, great
of
flesh; increasing
your loose ways, moving
me
to wrath.
\VS{27}Now,
then,
my
hand
is
stretched
out
against
you, cutting
down
your
fixed
amount,
and
I
have
given
you
up
to
the
desire
of
your haters,
the
daughters
of
the
Philistines
who
are shamed
by
your
loose
ways.
\VS{28}And
you
went
with
the Assyrians,
because
of
your desire which
was
without measure;
you
were acting
like
a loose woman
with
them,
and
still
you
had
not
enough.
\VS{29}And
you
went
on
in
your loose ways,
even
as
far
as
the
land
of Chaldaea,
and
still
you
had
not
enough.
\VS{30}How feeble
is
your
heart,
says
the
Lord, seeing
that
you
do
all
these
things,
the
work
of
a loose
and overruling
woman;
\VS{31}For
you
have
made
your arched room
at
the
top
of
every
street,
and
your
high
place
in
every
open
place; though
you
were
not
like
a loose woman
in getting together
your
payment.
\VS{32}The untrue
wife
who
takes
strange lovers
in
place
of
her
husband!
\VS{33}They
give
payment
to
all loose women:
but
you
give rewards
to
your
lovers, offering
them
payment
so
that
they
may
come
to
you
on
every
side
for
your cheap
love.
\VS{34}And
in
your loose behaviour
you
are
different
from other
women,
for
no
one goes
after
you
to
make love
to
you:
and
because
you
give
payment
and
no
payment
is
given
to
you,
in this
you
are
different
from
them.
\VS{35}For
this
cause,
O loose woman,
give ear
to
the voice
of
the
Lord:
\VS{36}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
Because
your unclean behaviour
was
let
loose
and
your body
uncovered
in
your
loose ways
with
your
lovers
and
with
your
disgusting images,
and
for
the
blood
of
your
children
which
you
gave
to
them;
\VS{37}For
this cause
I
will get
together
all
your
lovers
with
whom
you
have
taken
your
pleasure,
and
all
those
to
whom
you
have given
your
love,
with
all
those
who
were
hated
by
you;
I
will
even
make
them come
together
against
you
on
every
side,
and
I
will
have
you
uncovered
before
them
so
that
they
may
see
your
shame.
\VS{38}And
you
will
be
judged
by
me
as women
are
judged who
have been untrue
to
their husbands
and
have
taken
life;
and
I
will
let loose against
you
passion
and bitter feeling.
\VS{39}I
will
give
you
into
their
hands,
and
your arched room
will
be overturned
and
your
high
places
broken
down;
they
will
take
your
clothing
off
you
and
take
away
your fair
jewels:
and
when
they
have
done,
you
will
be uncovered
and shamed.
\VS{40}And
they
will
get
together
a meeting
against
you, stoning
you
with
stones
and wounding
you
with
their
swords.
\VS{41}And
they
will
have
you
burned
with
fire, sending punishments
on
you
before
the
eyes
of
great numbers
of
women;
and
I
will
put
an end
to
your loose ways,
and
you
will
no
longer
give
payment.
\VS{42}And
the
heat
of
my
wrath
against
you
will
have
an end,
and
my bitter feeling
will
be
turned
away
from
you,
and
I
will
be
quiet
and
will
be
angry
no
longer.
\VS{43}Because
you
have
not
kept
in
mind
the
days
when
you
were
young,
but
have
been troubling
me
with
all
these
things;
for
this
reason
I
will
make
the punishment
of
your
ways
come
on
your
head,
says
the
Lord,
because
you
have
done
this
evil
thing
in
addition
to
all
your
disgusting
acts.
\VS{44}See,
in
every common
saying
about
you
it
will
be
said,
As
the
mother
is,
so
is
her
daughter.
\VS{45}You
are
the
daughter
of
your
mother
whose soul
is turned
in disgust
from
her
husband
and
her
children;
and
you
are
the
sister
of
your
sisters
who
were turned
in disgust
from
their
husbands
and
their
children:
your
mother
was
a
Hittite
and
your
father
an
Amorite.
\VS{46}Your
older
sister
is
Samaria,
living
at
your
left
hand,
she
and
her
daughters:
and
your
younger
sister,
living
at
your
right
hand,
is
Sodom
and
her
daughters.
\VS{47}Still
you
have
not
gone
in
their
ways
or
done
the
disgusting
things
which
they
have
done;
but,
as if
that
was
only
a
little
thing,
you
have
gone deeper
in evil
than
they
in
all
your
ways.
\VS{48}By
my
life,
says
the
Lord,
Sodom
your
sister
never
did,
she
or
her
daughters,
what
you
and
your
daughters
have
done.
\VS{49}Truly,
this
was
the
sin
of
your
sister
Sodom:
pride,
a full measure
of
food,
and
the comforts
of
wealth
in
peace,
were seen
in
her
and
her
daughters,
and
she
gave
no
help
to
the
poor
or
to
those
in need.
\VS{50}They
were full
of pride
and
did
what
was
disgusting
to
me:
and
so
I
took
them
away
as
you
have
seen.
\VS{51}And
Samaria
has
not
done
half
your
sins;
but
you
have
made
the
number
of
your
disgusting
acts
greater
than theirs,
making
your
sisters seem
more upright
than
you
by
all
the
disgusting
things
which
you
have
done.
\VS{52}And
you
yourself
will
be
put
to
shame,
in
that
you
have given
the decision
for
your
sisters;
through
your
sins,
which
are
more disgusting
than theirs,
they
are
more
upright
than
you:
truly,
you
will
be
shamed
and
made low,
for
you
have
made
your
sisters seem
upright.
\VS{53}And
I
will let
their fate
be changed,
the fate
of
Sodom
and
her
daughters,
and
the fate
of
Samaria
and
her
daughters,
and
your fate
with theirs.
\VS{54}So
that
you
will
be shamed
and
made low
because
of
all
you
have
done,
when
I
have mercy
on
you.
\VS{55}And
your
sisters,
Sodom
and
her
daughters,
will
go
back
to
their first condition,
and
Samaria
and
her
daughters
will
go
back
to
their first condition,
and
you
and
your
daughters
will
go
back
to
your first condition.
\VS{56}Was
not
your
sister
Sodom
an oath
in
your
mouth
in
the
day
of
your
pride,
\VS{57}Before
your
shame
was
uncovered?
Now
you
have become
like
her
a word
of
shame
to
the
daughters
of
Edom
and
all
who
are
round
about
you,
the
daughters
of
the
Philistines
who put
shame
on
you
round
about.
\VS{58}The reward
of
your
evil designs
and
your
disgusting ways
has come
on
you,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{59}For
this
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
I
will
do
to
you
as
you
have
done,
you
who, putting
the
oath
on
one
side,
have let
the
agreement
be
broken.
\VS{60}But still
I
will
keep
in
mind
the
agreement made
with
you
in
the
days
when
you
were
young,
and
I
will
make
with
you
an
eternal
agreement.
\VS{61}Then
at
the memory
of
your
ways
you
will
be overcome
with
shame,
when
I
take
your
sisters,
the
older
and
the
younger,
and
give
them
to
you
for
daughters,
but
not
by
your
agreement.
\VS{62}And
I
will
make
my
agreement
with
you;
and
you
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord:
\VS{63}So
that,
at
the memory
of
these
things,
you
may
be
at
a loss,
never
opening
your
mouth
because
of
your
shame;
when
you
have
my forgiveness
for
all
you
have
done,
says
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{17}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}Son
of
man, give
out
a
dark saying,
and make
a comparison
for
the
children
of
Israel,
\VS{3}And
say,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
A
great
eagle
with
great
wings,
full
of
long
feathers
of different colours,
came
to
Lebanon,
and
took
the
top
of
the
cedar:
\VS{4}Biting
off
the highest
of
its
young branches,
he
took
it
to
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
put
it
in
a
town
of
traders.
\VS{5}And
he
took
some
of
the
seed
of
the
land,
planting
it
in
fertile
earth,
placing
it
by
great
waters;
he
put
it
in
like
a willow-tree.
\VS{6}And
its growth
went
on
and
it
became
a
vine,
low
and widely stretching, whose
branches
were
turned
to
him
and
its
roots
were
under
him:
so
it
became
a
vine,
putting
out
branches
and young leaves.
\VS{7}And
there
was
another
eagle
with
great
wings
and thick
feathers:
and
now
this
vine, pushing
out
its
roots
to
him,
sent
out
its
branches
in
his direction
from
the
bed
where
it
was
planted,
so
that
he might
give
it
water.
\VS{8}He
had
it
planted
in
a
good
field
by
great
waters
so
that
it might
put
out
branches
and
have
fruit
and
be
a strong
vine.
\VS{9}Say,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
Will
it
do well?
will
he
not
have
its
roots pulled
up
and
its branches
cut
off,
so
that
all
its young
leaves
may
become
dry
and
it
may
be pulled
up
by
its
roots?
\VS{10}And
if
it
is
planted
will
it do well?
will
it
not
become quite
dry
at
the
touch
of
the
east
wind, drying
up
in
the
bed
where
it
was
planted?
\VS{11}Then
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{12}Say
now
to
this uncontrolled
people,
Are
these
things
not clear
to
you?
Say
to
them,
See,
the
king
of
Babylon
came
to
Jerusalem
and
took
its
king
and
its
rulers
away
with
him
to
Babylon;
\VS{13}And
he
took
one
of
the sons
of
the
king
and
made
an
agreement
with
him;
and
he
put
him
under
an
oath,
and
took
away
the great
men
of
the
land:
\VS{14}So
that
the
kingdom
might
be
made
low
with
no power
of lifting itself
up,
but
might
keep
his
agreement
to
be
his servants.
\VS{15}But
he went
against
his authority
in
sending representatives
to
Egypt
to
get
from
them
horses
and
a
great
army.
Will
he
do well?
will
he
be safe
who
does
such
things? if
the
agreement
is
broken
will
he
be safe?
\VS{16}By
my
life,
says
the
Lord,
truly
in
the
place
of
the
king
who
made
him
king,
whose
oath
he
put
on
one
side
and
let
his
agreement
with
him
be
broken,
even
in
Babylon
he
will come
to
his
death.
\VS{17}And
Pharaoh
with
his
strong
army
and
great
forces
will
be
no
help
to
him
in
the
war,
when
they put
up earthworks
and
make
strong
walls
for
the cutting
off
of
lives:
\VS{18}For
he
put
his
oath
on
one
side
in letting
the
agreement
be
broken;
and though
he
had
given
his
hand
to
it,
he
did
all
these
things;
he
will
not
get
away safe.
\VS{19}And
so
the
Lord
has
said,
By
my
life,
truly,
for
my
oath
which
he
put
on
one
side,
and
my
agreement
which
has
been broken,
I
will
send punishment
on
his
head.
\VS{20}My
net
will
be
stretched
out
over
him,
and
he
will
be
taken
in
my cords,
and
I
will send
him
to
Babylon,
and
there
I
will
be
his
judge
for
the wrong
which
he
has done
against
me.
\VS{21}All
his best fighting-men
will
be put
to
the
sword,
and
the
rest
will
be sent
away
to
every
wind:
and
you
will
be
certain
that
I
the
Lord
have
said
it.
\VS{22}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said: Further,
I
will
take
the highest
top
of
the
cedar
and
put
it
in
the earth; cutting
off
from
the highest
of
his
young branches
a
soft
one,
I
will
have
it
planted
on
a
high
and great
mountain;
\VS{23}It
will
be
planted
on
the
high
mountain
of
Israel:
it
will
put
out
branches
and
have
fruit
and
be
a fair
cedar:
under
it
all
birds
of
every sort
will
make
their living-place, resting
in
the
shade
of
its
branches.
\VS{24}And
it
will
be
clear
to
all
the
trees
of
the
field
that
I
the
Lord
have
made
low
the
high
tree
and
made
high
the
low
tree, drying
up
the
green
tree
and
making
the
dry
tree
full
of growth;
I
the
Lord
have
said
it
and
have
done
it.

\par }\Chap{18}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me
again,
saying,
\VS{2}Why
do
you make
use
of
this
saying
about
the
land
of
Israel,
The
fathers
have been
tasting bitter
grapes
and
the children's
teeth
are
on edge?
\VS{3}By
my
life,
says
the
Lord,
you
will
no
longer
have
this saying
in
Israel.
\VS{4}See,
all
souls
are mine;
as
the
soul
of
the
father,
so
the
soul
of
the
son
is mine:
death
will
be
the fate
of
the sinner's
soul.
\VS{5}But
if
a
man
is upright,
living rightly
and
doing
righteousness,
\VS{6}And
has
not
taken flesh
with
the blood
for
food,
or given
worship
to
the images
of
the children
of
Israel; if
he
has
not
had connection
with
his neighbour's
wife,
or
come
near
to
a
woman
at
the
time
when
she
is
unclean;
\VS{7}And
has done
no
wrong
to
any,
but
has
given
back
to
the
debtor
what
is
his,
and
has
taken
no one's goods
by
force,
and
has
given
food
to
him
who
was
in
need
of
it,
and
clothing
to
him
who
was
without
it;
\VS{8}And
has
not
given
his money
out
at
interest
or
taken great
profits,
and,
turning
his
hand
from evil-doing,
has
kept
faith
between
man
and
man,
\VS{9}And
has been guided
by
my
rules
and
has
kept
my laws
and
done
them:
he
is upright,
life
will certainly
be
his,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{10}If
he
has
a
son
who
is
a thief,
a taker
of
life,
who
does
any
of
these
things,
\VS{11}Who
has taken flesh
with
the blood
as
food,
and
has
had connection
with
his neighbour's
wife,
\VS{12}Has
done
wrong
to
the
poor
and
to
him
who
is
in need,
and
taken property
by
force,
and
has
not given
back
to
one
in
his debt
what
is
his,
and
has given worship
to images
and
has
done
disgusting
things,
\VS{13}And
has
given
out
his money
at
interest
and
taken great
profits:
he
will
certainly
not
go
on living:
he
has
done
all
these
disgusting
things:
death
will
certainly
be
his fate;
his
blood
will
be
on
him.
\VS{14}Now
if
he
has
a
son
who
sees
all
his father's
sins
which
he
has
done,
and
in fear
does
not
do
the
same:
\VS{15}Who
has
not
taken
the flesh
with
the blood
for
food,
or given
worship
to
the images
of
the children
of
Israel,
and
has
not
had
connection
with
his neighbour's
wife,
\VS{16}Or done
wrong
to
any,
or
taken
anything
from
one
in
his debt,
or
taken goods
by
force,
but
has
given
food
to
him
who
was
in
need
of
it,
and
clothing
to
him
who
was
without
it;
\VS{17}Who
has
kept
his
hand
from evil-doing
and
has
not
taken
interest
or great
profits,
who
has
done
my orders
and
been guided
by
my
rules:
he
will
certainly
not
be
put
to
death
for
the evil-doing
of
his
father;
life
will
certainly
be
his.
\VS{18}As
for
his
father,
because
he
was cruel,
took goods
by
force,
and
did
what
is
not
good
among
his
people,
truly,
death
will overtake
him
in
his evil-doing.
\VS{19}But
you
say,
Why
does
not
the
son undergo
punishment
for
the evil-doing
of
the
father?
When
the
son
has
done
what
is
ordered
and
right,
and
has
kept
my
rules
and
done
them,
life
will
certainly
be
his.
\VS{20}The
soul
which
does
sin
will
be
put
to
death:
the
son
will
not
be
made responsible
for
the evil-doing
of
the
father,
or
the
father
for
the evil-doing
of
the
son;
the
righteousness
of
the upright
will
be
on
himself,
and
the evil-doing
of
the evil-doer
on
himself.
\VS{21}But
if
the evil-doer,
turning
away
from
all
the
sins
which
he
has
done,
keeps
my
rules
and
does
what
is ordered
and
right,
life
will
certainly
be
his;
death
will
not
be
his fate.
\VS{22}Not
one
of
the sins
which
he
has
done
will
be
kept
in memory
against
him:
in
the
righteousness
which
he
has
done
he
will
have
life.
\VS{23}Have
I
any
pleasure
in
the
death
of
the evil-doer?
says
the
Lord: am
I
not
pleased if
he
is
turned
from
his
way
so
that
he
may
have
life?
\VS{24}But
when
the upright
man,
turning
away
from
his
righteousness,
does
evil,
like
all
the
disgusting
things
which
the
evil
man
does,
will
he
have
life?
Not
one
of
his upright
acts
will
be
kept
in memory:
in
the
wrong
which
he
has
done
and
in
his
sin
death
will overtake
him.
\VS{25}But
you
say,
The
way
of
the
Lord
is
not equal.
Give ear,
now,
O children
of
Israel;
is
my
way
not equal?
are
not
your
ways unequal?
\VS{26}When
the upright
man,
turning
away
from
his
righteousness,
does
evil,
death
will
overtake
him;
in
the
evil
which
he
has
done
death
will
overtake
him.
\VS{27}Again,
when
the evil-doer,
turning
away
from
the
evil
he
has
done,
does
what
is ordered
and
right,
he
will
have
life
for
his
soul.
\VS{28}Because
he
had fear
and
was
turned
away
from
all
the wrong
which
he
had
done,
life
will
certainly
be
his,
death
will
not
be
his fate.
\VS{29}But
still
the children
of
Israel
say,
The
way
of
the
Lord
is
not equal.
O children
of
Israel,
are
my
ways
not equal?
are
not
your
ways unequal?
\VS{30}For
this
cause
I
will
be
your
judge,
O children
of
Israel,
judging
every
man
by
his
ways,
says
the
Lord.
Come
back
and
be
turned
from
all
your
sins;
so
that
they
may
not
be
the
cause
of
your falling
into
evil.
\VS{31}Put
away
all
your evil-doing
in
which
you
have
done sin;
and
make
for
yourselves
a
new
heart
and
a
new
spirit:
why
are
you desiring
death,
O children
of
Israel?
\VS{32}For
I
have
no
pleasure
in
the
death
of
him
on whom
death comes,
says
the
Lord:
be
turned
back
then,
and
have
life.

\par }\Chap{19}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Take
up
now
a song
of grief
for
the ruler
of
Israel,
and
say,
\VS{2}What
was
your
mother?
Like
a she-lion
among
lions, stretched
out
among
the
young
lions
she
gave food
to
her
little ones.
\VS{3}And
one
of
her little ones
came
to growth under
her care,
and
became
a
young
lion, learning
to
go
after beasts
for
his
food;
and
he
took
men
for
his meat.
\VS{4}And
the
nations
had news
of
him;
he
was
taken
in
the
hole
they
had
made:
and, pulling
him
with
hooks,
they
took
him
into
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{5}Now
when
she
saw
that
her
hope
was
made foolish
and gone,
she
took
another
of
her little ones
and
made
him
into
a
young
lion.
\VS{6}And
he
went
up
and
down
among
the
lions
and
became
a
young
lion, learning
to
go
after beasts
for
his
food;
and
he
took
men
for
his meat.
\VS{7}And
he sent destruction
on
their
widows
and
made waste
their
towns;
and
the
land
and everything
in
it became waste because
of
the loud
sound
of
his
voice.
\VS{8}Then
the
nations came
against
him
from
the kingdoms
round
about:
their
net
was
stretched
over
him
and
he
was
taken
in
the
hole
they
had
made.
\VS{9}They
made
him
a prisoner
with
hooks,
and
took
him
to
the
king
of
Babylon;
they
put
him
in
the strong
place
so
that
his
voice
might
be sounding
no
longer
on
the
mountains
of
Israel.
\VS{10}Your
mother
was
in comparison
like
a
vine,
planted
by
the
waters:
she
was fertile
and
full
of
branches
because
of
the
great
waters.
\VS{11}And she
had
a
strong
rod
for
a
rod
of
authority
for
the
rulers,
and
it
became
tall
among
the
clouds
and
it
was
seen lifted
up
among
the
number
of
its
branches.
\VS{12}But she
was
uprooted
in
burning
wrath,
and made
low
on
the
earth;
the
east
wind
came, drying
her
up,
and
her
branches
were broken
off;
her
strong
rod became
dry,
the
fire made
a meal
of
it.
\VS{13}And
now she
is
planted
in
the waste
land,
in
a
dry
and unwatered
country.
\VS{14}And
fire
has
gone
out
from
her
rod, causing
the destruction
of
her
branches,
so
that
there
is
no
strong
rod
in
her
to
be
the ruler's
rod
of
authority.
This
is
a song
of grief,
and
it
was
for
a song
of grief.

\par }\Chap{20}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
it
came
about
in
the
seventh
year,
in
the
fifth
month,
on
the
tenth
day
of
the
month,
that
certain
of
the responsible
men
of
Israel
came
to
get
directions
from
the
Lord
and
were
seated
before
me.
\VS{2}Then
the
word

came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{3}Son
of
man,

to
the responsible
men
of
Israel,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
Have
you
come
to
get directions
from
me?
By
my

says
the
Lord,
you
will
get
no directions
from
me.
\VS{4}Will
you
be
their
judge, O
son
of
man,
will
you
be
their
judge?
make clear
to
them
the
disgusting ways
of
their
fathers,
\VS{5}And
say
to
them,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
In
the
day
when
I
took
Israel
for
myself,
when
I
made
an oath
to
the
seed
of
the
family
of
Jacob,
and
I
gave
them
knowledge
of
myself
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
saying
to
them
with
an oath,
I
am
the
Lord
your
God;
\VS{6}In
that
day
I
gave
my oath
to
take
them
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
into
a
land
which
I
had
been searching
out
for
them,
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey,
the glory
of
all
lands:
\VS{7}And
I
said
to
them,
Let
every
man
among
you put
away
the disgusting
things
to
which
his
eyes
are
turned,
and
do
not
make
yourselves
unclean
with
the images
of
Egypt;
I
am
the
Lord
your
God.
\VS{8}But
they
would
not
be controlled
by
me,
and
did
not
give ear
to
me;
they
did
not
put
away
the disgusting
things
to
which
their
eyes
were
turned,
or
give
up
the images
of
Egypt:
then
I
said
I
would
let
loose
my passion
on
them
to
give full effect
to
my
wrath
against
them
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{9}And
I
was
acting
for
the honour
of
my
name,
so
that
it
might
not
be
made unclean
before
the
eyes
of
the
nations
among
whom
they
were,
and
before
whose
eyes
I
gave
them
knowledge
of
myself,
by taking
them
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{10}So
I made
them
go
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
and
took
them
into
the waste
land.
\VS{11}And
I
gave
them
my
rules
and
made
clear
to
them
my orders,
which,
if
a
man keeps
them,
will
be
life
to
him.
\VS{12}And
further,
I
gave
them
my
Sabbaths,
to
be
a
sign
between
me
and
them,
so
that
it
might
be clear
that
I,
who
make
them
holy,
am
the
Lord.
\VS{13}But
the children
of
Israel
would
not
be controlled
by
me
in
the
waste land:
they
were
not guided
by
my
rules,
and
they
were
turned
away
from
my
orders,
which,
if
a
man
does
them,
will
be
life
to
him;
and
they
had
no
respect
for
my
Sabbaths:
then
I
said
that
I
would
let
loose
my passion
on
them
in
the
waste land,
and
put
an
end
to
them.
\VS{14}And
I
was acting
for
the honour
of
my
name,
so
that
it
might
not
be
made unclean
in
the
eyes
of
the
nations,
before
whose
eyes
I
had
taken
them
out.
\VS{15}And further,
I
gave
my oath
to
them
in
the waste
land,
that
I
would
not
take
them
into
the
land
which
I
had
given
them,
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey,
the glory
of
all
lands;
\VS{16}Because
they
were turned
away
from
my orders,
and
were
not guided
by
my
rules,
and
had
no respect
for
my
Sabbaths:
for
their
hearts
went
after
their images.
\VS{17}But still
my
eye
had
pity
on
them
and
I
kept
them
from
destruction
and
did
not put
an
end
to
them
completely
in
the
waste land.
\VS{18}And
I
said
to
their
children
in
the waste land,
Do
not
be guided
by
the
rules
of
your
fathers
or
keep
their
orders
or
make
yourselves
unclean
with
their images:
\VS{19}I
am
the
Lord
your
God;
be guided
by
my
rules
and
keep
my orders
and
do
them:
\VS{20}And
keep
my
Sabbaths
holy;
and
they
will
be
a
sign
between
me
and
you
so
that
it
may
be clear
to
you
that
I
am
the
Lord
your
God.
\VS{21}But
the
children
would
not
be controlled
by
me;
they
were
not guided
by
my
rules,
and
they
did
not
keep
and
do
my
orders,
which,
if
a
man
does
them,
will
be
life
to
him;
and
they
had
no
respect
for
my
Sabbaths:
then
I
said
I
would
let
loose
my passion
on
them
to
give full effect
to
my
wrath
against
them
in
the
waste land.
\VS{22}And
I
was acting
for
the honour
of
my
name,
so
that
it
might
not
be
made unclean
in
the
eyes
of
the
nations,
before
whose
eyes
I
had
taken
them
out.
\VS{23}Further,
I gave
my oath
to
them
in
the waste
land
that
I would send
them wandering
among
the
nations, driving
them
out
among
the
countries;
\VS{24}Because
they
had
not
done
my orders,
but
had
been
turned
away
from
my
rules,
and
had
not given respect
to
my
Sabbaths,
and
their
eyes
were
turned
to
the images
of
their
fathers.
\VS{25}And further,
I
gave
them
rules which
were
not
good
and orders
in which there
was
no
life
for
them;
\VS{26}I
made
them
unclean
in
the
offerings
they gave,
causing
them
to
make
every first child
go
through
the fire,
so
that
I
might put
an end
to
them.
\VS{27}For
this cause,
son
of
man,
say
to
the
children
of
Israel,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
In
this
your
fathers
have
further put shame
on
my
name
by doing wrong
against
me.
\VS{28}For
when
I
had
taken
them
into
the
land
which
I
made
an oath
to
give
to
them,
then
they
saw
every
high
hill
and
every branching
tree
and
made
their
offerings
there, moving
me
to wrath
by
their
offerings;
and
there
the sweet smell
of
their
offerings
went
up
and
their drink
offerings
were drained
out.
\VS{29}Then
I
said
to
them,
What
is
this
high
place
where
you
go
to no
purpose?
And
it
is
named
Bamah
to
this
day.
\VS{30}For
this cause
say
to
the children
of
Israel,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
Are
you
making
yourselves
unclean
as
your
fathers
did?
are
you being untrue
to
me
by going
after
their disgusting works?
\VS{31}And
when
you
give
your
offerings, causing
your
sons
to
go
through
the
fire,
you
make
yourselves
unclean
with
all
your images
to
this
day;
and
will
you come
to
me
for directions,
O
children
of
Israel?
By
my
life,
says
the
Lord,
you
will get
no direction
from
me.
\VS{32}And
that
which
comes
into
your minds
will
never
take
place;
when
you
say,
We
will
be
like
the
nations,
like
the
families
of
the
countries,
servants
of
wood
and
stone;
\VS{33}By
my
life,
says
the
Lord,
truly,
with
a
strong
hand
and
with
an
outstretched
arm
and
with
burning
wrath
let
loose,
I
will
be
King
over
you:
\VS{34}And
I
will
take
you
out
from
the
peoples
and
get
you
together
out
of
the
countries
where
you
are wandering,
with
a
strong
hand
and
with
an
outstretched
arm
and
with
burning
wrath
let loose:
\VS{35}And
I
will
take
you
into
the waste
land
of
the
peoples,
and
there
I
will
take
up
the cause
with
you
face
to
face.
\VS{36}As
I took up
the cause
with
your
fathers
in
the waste
land
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
so
will
I take up
the cause
with
you
says
the
Lord.
\VS{37}And
I
will make
you
go
under
the
rod
and
will make
you small
in number:
\VS{38}Clearing
out
from
among
you
all
those
who
are uncontrolled
and
who
are sinning
against
me;
I
will
take
them
out
of
the
land
where
they
are living,
but
they
will
not
come
into
the
land
of
Israel:
and
you
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{39}As
for
you,
O children
of
Israel,
the
Lord
has
said:
Let
every
man
completely put
away
his images
and
give ear
to
me:
and
let
my
holy
name
no
longer
be shamed
by
your
offerings
and
your images.
\VS{40}For
in
my
holy
mountain,
in
the
high
mountain
of
Israel,
says
the
Lord,
there
all
the children
of
Israel,
all
of
them,
will
be
my
servants
in
the
land;
there
I
will
take
pleasure
in
them,
and
there
I
will
be worshipped
with
your
offerings
and
the first-fruits
of
the
things
you give,
and
with
all
your
holy
things.
\VS{41}I
will
take
pleasure
in
you
as
in
a sweet smell,
when
I
take
you
out
from
the
peoples
and
get
you
together
from
the
countries
where
you
have
been
sent
in flight;
and
I
will
make
myself
holy
in
you
before
the
eyes
of
the
nations.
\VS{42}And
you
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord,
when
I
take
you
into
the
land
of
Israel,
into
the
country
which
I
made
an oath
to
give
to
your
fathers.
\VS{43}And
there,
at
the memory
of
your
ways
and
of
all
the
things
you
did
to
make
yourselves
unclean,
you
will
have bitter hate
for
yourselves
because
of
all
the
evil
things
you
have
done.
\VS{44}And
you
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord,
when
I
take
you
in hand
for
the honour
of
my
name,
and
not
for
your
evil
ways
or
your unclean doings,
O children
of
Israel,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{45}Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
\VS{46}Son of man, let your face be turned to the south, let your words be dropped to the south, and be a prophet against the woodland of the South;
\VS{47}And say to the woodland of the South, Give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said: See, I will have a fire lighted in you, for the destruction of every green tree in you and every dry tree: the flaming flame will not be put out, and all faces from the south to the north will be burned by it.
\VS{48}And all flesh will see that I the Lord have had it lighted: it will not be put out.
\VS{49}Then I said, Ah, Lord! they say of me, Is he not a maker of stories?

\par }\Chap{21}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}Son
of
man,
let
your
face
be
turned
to Jerusalem,
let
your words
be
dropped
in
the
direction
of
her holy
place,
and
be
a prophet
against
the

\VS{3}And
say
to
the
land
of Israel,
These
are
the
words
of
the
Lord:
See,
I
am
against
you,
and
I
will take
my sword
out
of
its cover, cutting
off
from
you
the upright
and
the evil.
\VS{4}Because
I
am going
to
have
the upright
and
the evil cut off
from
you,
for
this cause
my sword
will
go
out
from
its cover
against
all
flesh
from
the south
to
the north:
\VS{5}And all flesh
will see
that
I
the

have taken
my sword out
of
its cover:
and
it
will
never go back.
\VS{6}Make sounds
of
grief, son
of man;
with body bent
and
a bitter heart make sounds
of
grief
before
their eyes.
\VS{7}And
when
they
say
to
you, Why
are
you making sounds
of grief?
then
say,
Because
of
the news,
for
it
is coming:
and every heart
will become soft,
and all hands
will
be feeble,
and every spirit
will
be burning low,
and all knees
will
be
turned
to water: see,
it
is coming
and
it
will
be done, says
the Lord.
\VS{8}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{9}Son
of
man, say
as
a prophet,
These
are
the words
of
the
Lord: Say,
A
sword,
a
sword
which
has
been
made sharp
and polished:
\VS{10}It
has
been
made sharp
to
give death;
it
is polished
so
that
it
may
be
like
a thunder-flame: ...
\VS{11}And
I
have given
it
to
the polisher
so
that
it
may
be taken
in
the hand:
he
has made
the sword sharp,
he
has
had
it polished,
to put
it into
the hand
of
him
who gives death.
\VS{12}Give loud cries
and
make sounds
of grief,
O son
of
man:
for
it
has
come
on
my
people,
it
has
come
on
all
the rulers
of Israel: fear
of
the sword
has
come
on
my
people:
for
this
cause
give signs
of grief.
\VS{13}...
\VS{14}So
then,
son
of
man,
be
a
prophet,
and put
your hands
together
with
a loud sound,
and give two blows
with
the
sword,
and
even three;
it
is
the
sword
of
those
who
are wounded,
even
the
sword
of
the wounded;
the great
sword
which goes round
about
them.
\VS{15}In
order
that hearts
may
become soft,
and
the number
of
those
who
are falling
may
be increased,
I
have sent death
by
the sword
against
all
their doors:
you
are
made
like
a flame,
you
are
polished
for death.
\VS{16}Be pointed
to
the right,
to
the
left, wherever
your edge
is ordered.
\VS{17}And
I
will put
my hands
together
with
a loud sound,
and
I
will
let
my wrath
have
rest:
I
the Lord
have
said
it.
\VS{18}And
the word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me
again, saying,
\VS{19}And
you,
son
of
man,
have
two ways marked
out,
so
that
the
sword
of
the king
of Babylon
may come;
let
the
two
of
them come
out
of
one land:
and
let there
be
a pillar
at
the top
of
the road:
\VS{20}Put
a pillar
at
the
top
of
the road
for
the
sword
to come
to Rabbah
in
the land
of
the children
of Ammon,
and
to Judah
and
to
Jerusalem
in
the
middle
of
her.
\VS{21}For
the king
of Babylon
took
his
place at
the parting
of
the ways, at
the top
of
the two roads,
to
make use
of secret arts: shaking
the arrows this
way
and
that,
he
put questions
to
the images
of
his gods,
he
took note
of
the inner parts
of dead beasts.
\VS{22}At
his
right
hand
was
the fate
of Jerusalem,
to
give orders
for destruction,
to send
up
the war-cry,
to
put engines
of war
against
the doors, lifting
up earthworks, building walls.
\VS{23}And
this
answer given
by secret arts
will seem false
to
those
who
have given
their oaths
and
have
let
them
be broken:
but
he
will keep
the memory
of evil-doing
so
that
they
may
be
taken.
\VS{24}For
this cause
the Lord
has said:
Because
you
have
made
your evil-doing
come
to mind
by
the uncovering
of
your wrongdoing,
causing
your sins
to
be seen
in
all
your evil-doings;
because
you
have
come
to mind,
you
will
be
taken
in
them.
\VS{25}And
you, O evil
one, wounded
to death, O ruler
of Israel,
whose day
has
come
in
the time
of
the last punishment;
\VS{26}This
is
what
the Lord
has
said:
Take away
the holy head-dress,
take
off
the crown:
this
will
not
be again: let
that which
is low
be lifted
up,
and
that which
is high
be made low.
\VS{27}I
will
let
it
be overturned, overturned, overturned: this
will
not
be
again till
he
comes whose
right
it
is;
and
I
will
give
it
to
him.
\VS{28}And
you, son
of man, say
as
a prophet,
This
is what
the Lord
has said
about
the children
of Ammon
and
about
their shame: Say,
A sword, even
a sword
let loose, polished
for death,
to
make
it shining
so
that
it
may
be
like
a flame:
\VS{29}Your
vision
is
to
no purpose,
your use
of secret arts gives
a false
answer,
to
put
it
on
the necks
of evil-doers
who
are wounded
to death,
whose day
has
come,
in
the time
of
the last
punishment.
\VS{30}Go
back
into
your cover.
In
the
place
where
you
were
made,
in
the land
from
which
you
were taken,
I
will
be
your judge.
\VS{31}And
I
will
let loose
my burning passion
on
you, breathing out
on
you
the fire
of
my wrath:
and
I
will give
you
up
into
the hands
of
men
like beasts, trained
to destruction.
\VS{32}You
will
be food
for
the fire;
your blood
will
be drained
out
in
the land;
there
will
be
no
more memory
of
you:
for
I
the Lord
have said
it.

\par }\Chap{22}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}And
you,
son
of
man,
will
you
be
a
judge,
will
you
be
a
judge
of
the
town
of
blood?
then
make
clear
to
her
all
her
disgusting ways.
\VS{3}And
you
are
to
say,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
A
town
causing
blood
to
be drained
out
in
her streets
so
that
her
time
may
come,
and
making images
in
her
to
make
her
unclean!
\VS{4}You
are
responsible
for
the
blood drained
out
by
you,
and
you
are
unclean
through
the images
which
you
have
made;
and
you
have
made
your
day
come
near,
and
the
time
of
your judging
has
come;
for
this
cause
I
have
made
you
a name
of
shame
to
the
nations
and
a
cause
of laughing
to
all
countries.
\VS{5}Those
who
are
near
and
those
who
are
far
from
you
will
make sport
of
you;
your
name
is
unclean,
you
are
full
of sounds
of fear.
\VS{6}See,
the rulers
of
Israel,
every
one
in
his family,
have
been causing
death
in
you.
\VS{7}In
you
they
have
had no respect
for
father
and
mother;
in
you
they
have been cruel
to
the man
from
a strange land;
in
you
they
have
done
wrong
to
the child without
a
father
and
to
the
widow.
\VS{8}You
have made little
of
my
holy
things,
and
have made
my
Sabbaths unclean.
\VS{9}In
you
there
are
men
who say
evil
of others, causing
death;
in
you
they
have
taken
the flesh
with
the
blood
for
food;
in
your streets
they
have put
evil designs
into effect.
\VS{10}In
you
they
have
let
the
shame
of
their
fathers
be seen;
in
you
they
have done wrong
to
a
woman at
the
time
when she
was
unclean.
\VS{11}And
in
you
one
man
has
done
what
was
disgusting
with
his neighbour's
wife;
and
another
has
made
his
daughter-in-law
unclean;
and
another
has
done wrong
to
his
sister,
his father's
daughter.
\VS{12}In
you
they
have
taken rewards
as
the price
of
blood;
you
have
taken
interest
and great
profits,
and
you
have
taken
away
your neighbours' goods
by force,
and
have not kept
me
in mind,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{13}See,
then,
I
have
made
my
hands
come
together
in wrath
against
your taking
of goods
by force
and
against
the
blood
which
has
been flowing
in
you.
\VS{14}Will
your
heart
be high
or
your
hands
strong
in
the
days
when
I
take
you
in
hand?
I
the
Lord
have
said
it
and
will
do
it.
\VS{15}And
I
will send
you
in flight
among
the
nations
and wandering
among
the
countries;
and
I
will
completely take
away
out
of
you everything
which
is
unclean.
\VS{16}And
you
will
be
made low
before
the
eyes
of
the
nations;
and
it
will
be clear
to
you
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{17}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{18}Son
of
man,
the
children
of
Israel
have
become
like
the poorest sort
of waste metal
to
me:
they
are
all
silver
and
brass
and
tin
and
iron
and
lead mixed
with waste.
\VS{19}For
this
cause
the
Lord
has
said:
Because
you
have
all
become waste metal,
see,
I
will
get
you
together
inside
Jerusalem.
\VS{20}As
they
put
silver
and
brass
and
iron
and
lead
and
tin
together
inside
the oven, heating
up
the
fire
on
it
to make
it soft;
so
will
I
get
you
together
in
my
wrath
and
in
my passion,
and, heating
the
fire
with
my
breath,
will make
you soft.
\VS{21}Yes,
I
will take
you,
breathing
on
you
the
fire
of
my
wrath,
and
you
will become soft
in
it.
\VS{22}As
silver
becomes soft
in
the oven,
so
you
will become soft
in
it;
and
you
will
be
certain
that
I
the
Lord
have
let
loose
my passion
on
you.
\VS{23}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{24}Son
of
man,
say
to
her,
You
are
a
land
on
which
no
rain
or thunderstorm
has come
in
the
day
of
wrath.
\VS{25}Her rulers
in
her
are
like
a loud-voiced
lion violently
taking
his
food;
they
have
made
a meal
of
souls;
they
have
taken
wealth
and valued property;
they
have
made great
the
number
of
widows
in
her.
\VS{26}Her
priests
have
been acting
violently
against
my
law;
they
have
made
my
holy
things
unclean:
they
have
made
no division
between
what
is
holy
and
what
is
common,
and
they
have
not
made
it clear
that
the
unclean
is different
from
the
clean,
and
their
eyes
have
been
shut
to
my
Sabbaths,
and
I am
not honoured
among
them.
\VS{27}Her
rulers
in
her
are
like
wolves
violently taking
their
food; putting
men
to
death
and causing
the
destruction
of
souls,
so
that
they
may
get
their
profit.
\VS{28}And
her
prophets
have
been using whitewash, seeing foolish
visions
and making
false
use
of secret arts,
saying,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said,
when
the
Lord
has
said
nothing.
\VS{29}The
people
of
the
land
have
been acting cruelly, taking men's goods
by
force;
they
have
been hard
on
the
poor
and
those
in need,
and
have done
wrong
to
the
man
from
a strange
land.
\VS{30}And
I
was
looking
for
a
man
among
them
who
would
make
up
the
wall
and
take
his
station
in
the broken
place
before
me
for
the
land,
so
that
I might
not send
destruction
on
it:
but
there
was
no
one.
\VS{31}And
I
let
loose
my passion
on
them,
and
have
put
an
end
to
them
in
the
fire
of
my
wrath:
I
have
made
the punishment
of
their
ways
come
on
their
heads,
says
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{23}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me
again,
saying,
\VS{2}Son
of
man,
there
were
two
women,
daughters
of
one
mother:
\VS{3}They
were acting
like loose women
in
Egypt;
when
they
were young
their behaviour
was loose:
there
their
breasts
were crushed,
even
the points
of
their young
breasts
were crushed.
\VS{4}Their
names
were
Oholah,
the
older,
and
Oholibah,
her
sister:
and
they
became mine,
and
gave
birth
to
sons
and
daughters.
As
for
their
names,
Samaria
is
Oholah,
and
Jerusalem,
Oholibah.
\VS{5}And
Oholah was untrue
to
me
when she was
mine; she was full
of desire
for
her
lovers,
even
for
the Assyrians,
her neighbours,
\VS{6}Who were
clothed
in
blue,
captains
and
rulers,
all
of
them
young
men
to
be desired,
horsemen seated
on
horses.
\VS{7}And
she
gave
her
unclean love
to
them,
all
of
them
the noblest
men
of
Assyria:
and
she
made
herself
unclean
with
the images
of
all
who
were desired
by
her.
\VS{8}And
she
has
not given
up
her
loose ways
from
the time
when
she
was
in
Egypt;
for
when
she
was young
they
were
her
lovers,
and
by
them
her young
breasts
were crushed,
and
they
let
loose
on
her
their unclean desire.
\VS{9}For
this
cause
I
gave
her
up
into
the
hands
of
her
lovers,
into
the
hands
of
the Assyrians
on
whom
her desire
was fixed.
\VS{10}By
these
her
shame
was
uncovered:
they
took
her
sons
and
daughters
and
put
her
to death
with
the
sword:
and she
became
a
cause
of wonder
to
women;
for
they
gave
her
the punishment
which
was right.
\VS{11}And
her
sister
Oholibah
saw this,
but
her desire
was
even
more unmeasured,
and
her loose behaviour
was worse
than
that
of
her
sister.
\VS{12}She
was
full
of desire
for
the Assyrians,
captains
and
rulers,
her neighbours,
clothed
in blue,
horsemen going
on
horses,
all
of
them
young
men
to
be desired.
\VS{13}And
I
saw
that
she
had
become
unclean;
the
two
of
them went
the
same
way.
\VS{14}And
her
loose behaviour
became worse;
for she
saw
men pictured
on
a
wall, pictures
of
the Chaldaeans painted
in
bright
red,
\VS{15}With
bands round
their bodies
and
with head-dresses hanging round
their
heads,
all
of
them
looking
like
rulers,
like
the
Babylonians,
the
land
of
whose
birth
is Chaldaea.
\VS{16}And
when she saw
them she
was full
of desire
for
them,
and
sent servants
to
them
in Chaldaea.
\VS{17}And
the Babylonians
came
to
her,
into
the
bed
of
love,
and
made
her
unclean
with
their loose
desire,
and she
became
unclean
with
them,
and
her
soul
was
turned
from
them.
\VS{18}So
her
loose behaviour
was clearly seen
and
her
shame
uncovered:
then
my
soul
was turned
from
her
as
it
had
been turned
from
her
sister.
\VS{19}But still
she went
on
the
more
with
her loose behaviour, keeping
in
mind
the early
days
when
she
had
been
a loose woman
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{20}And
she
was full
of desire
for
her
lovers,
whose
flesh
is
like
the
flesh
of asses
and
whose seed
is
like
the seed
of
horses.
\VS{21}And she
made
the memory
of
the loose ways
of
her early years come back
to mind,
when
her young
breasts
were crushed
by
the
Egyptians.
\VS{22}For
this cause,
O
Oholibah,
this
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
See,
I
will make
your
lovers
come
up
against
you,
even
those
from
whom
your
soul
is turned
away
in disgust;
and
I
will make
them
come
up
against
you
on
every
side;
\VS{23}The
Babylonians
and
all
the Chaldaeans,
Pekod
and
Shoa
and
Koa,
and
all
the Assyrians
with
them:
young
men
to
be desired,
captains
and
rulers
all
of
them,
and chiefs,
her neighbours,
all
of
them
on
horseback.
\VS{24}And
they
will
come
against
you
from
the north
on horseback,
with war-carriages
and
a great band
of
peoples;
they
will
put
themselves
in
order
against
you
with breastplate
and body-cover
and metal head-dress
round
about
you:
and
I
will
make
them
your
judges,
and
they
will
give
their
decision
against
you
as seems
right
to
them.
\VS{25}And
my bitter feeling
will
be working
against
you,
and
they
will
take
you
in
hand
with
passion;
they
will
take
away
your
nose
and
your
ears,
and
the
rest
of
you
will
be
put
to
the
sword:
they
will
take
your
sons
and
daughters,
and
the
rest
of
you
will
be burned
up
in
the
fire.
\VS{26}And they will
take all
your
clothing
off
you
and
take
away
your
ornaments.
\VS{27}So
I
will
put
an end
to
your
evil ways
and
your loose behaviour
which
came
from
the
land
of
Egypt:
and
your
eyes
will
never
be
lifted
up
to
them
again,
and
you
will
have
no
more memory
of
Egypt.
\VS{28}For
this
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
See,
I
will
give
you
up
into
the
hands
of
those
who
are
hated
by
you,
into
the
hands
of
those
from
whom
your
soul
is
turned away
in disgust:
\VS{29}And
they
will
take
you
in hand
with
hate,
and
take
away
all
the
fruit
of
your work,
and
let
you
be unveiled
and without clothing:
and
the
shame
of
your loose behaviour
will
be
uncovered,
your
evil designs
and
your loose ways.
\VS{30}They
will
do
these
things
to
you
because
you
have
been untrue
to
me,
and
have gone
after
the
nations,
and
have
become
unclean
with
their images.
\VS{31}You
have
gone
in
the
way
of
your
sister;
and
I
will
give
her
cup
into
your
hand.
\VS{32}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
You
will
take
a
drink
from
your sister's
cup, which
is
deep
and
wide:
you
will
be
laughed
at
and looked
down
on, more than
you
are able
to undergo.
\VS{33}You
will
be broken
and
full
of
sorrow,
with
the
cup
of wonder
and
destruction,
with
the
cup
of
your
sister
Samaria.
\VS{34}And
after
drinking
it
and draining
it
out,
you
will take
the last drops
of
it
to
the end, pulling
off
your
breasts:
for
I
have
said
it,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{35}So
this
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
Because
you
have
not kept
me
in
your memory,
and
because
your
back
has
been turned
to
me,
you
will
even undergo
the punishment
of
your
evil designs
and
your loose ways.
\VS{36}Then
the
Lord
said
to
me:
Son
of
man,
will
you
be
the
judge
of
Oholibah?
then
make clear
to
her
the
disgusting
things she
has done.
\VS{37}For
she
has
been false
to
me,
and
blood
is
on
her
hands,
and
with
her images
she
has
been untrue;
and
more
than
this,
she
made
her
sons,
whom
she
had
by
me,
go
through
the fire
to
them
to
be burned
up.
\VS{38}Further,
this
is
what
she
has
done
to
me:
she
has
made
my
holy
place
unclean
and
has
made
my
Sabbaths
unclean.
\VS{39}For
when
she
had
made
an offering
of
her
children
to
her images,
she
came
into
my
holy
place
to
make
it unclean;
see,
this
is
what
she
has
done
inside
my
house.
\VS{40}And
she
even
sent
for
men
to
come
from
far
away,
to
whom
a servant
was
sent,
and
they
came:
for
whom
she
was
washing
her body
and painting
her
eyes
and making herself fair
with
ornaments.
\VS{41}And
she
took
her
seat
on
a great
bed,
with
a
table
put ready
before
it
on which
she
put
my
perfume
and
my
oil.
\VS{42}...
and
they
put jewels
on
her
hands
and
beautiful
crowns
on
her
head.
\VS{43}Then
I
said ...
now
she
will go
on
with
her loose ways.
\VS{44}And
they
went
in
to
her,
as men
go
to
a loose
woman:
so
they
went
in
to
Oholibah,
the loose
woman.
\VS{45}And upright
men
will
be
her
judges,
judging
her
as false wives
and women
who take lives
are
judged;
because
she
has been untrue
to
me
and
blood
is
on
her
hands.
\VS{46}For
this
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
I
will
make
a great meeting
of
the people
come
together
against
her,
and
will
send
on
her shaking fear
and
take everything
from
her.
\VS{47}And
the meeting,
after stoning
her
with
stones,
will put
an end
to
her
with
their
swords;
they
will put
her
sons
and
daughters
to
death
and
have
her
house
burned
up
with
fire.
\VS{48}And
I
will put
an end
to
evil
in
all
the
land, teaching
all
women
not
to
do
as
you
have
done.
\VS{49}And
I
will
send
on
you
the punishment
of
your
evil ways,
and
you
will
be rewarded
for
your
sins
with
your images:
and
you
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{24}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me
in
the
ninth
year,
in
the
tenth
month,
on
the
tenth
day
of
the
month,
saying,
\VS{2}Son
of
man, put
down
in
writing
this
very
day:
The
king
of
Babylon let loose
the weight
of
his attack
against
Jerusalem
on
this
very
day.
\VS{3}And make
a comparison
for
this uncontrolled people,
and
say
to
them,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
Put
on
the cooking-pot,
put
it
on
the fire
and
put
water
in
it:
\VS{4}And get
the bits
together,
the fat tail,
every
good part,
the leg
and
the top part
of
it: make
it
full
of
the
best
bones.
\VS{5}Take
the best
of
the
flock,
put much
wood
under
it: see
that
its bits
are
boiling
well; let
the
bones
be cooked
inside
it.
\VS{6}For
this
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
A curse
is
on
the
town
of
blood,
the cooking-pot
which
is unclean inside,
which
has
never
been
made clean!
take
out
its bits;
its fate
is
still
to
come
on
it.
\VS{7}For
her
blood
is
in
her;
she
has
put
it
on
the
open
rock
not draining
it
on
to
the
earth
so
that
it
might
be
covered
with
dust;
\VS{8}In order
that
it
might
make
wrath
come
up
to
give punishment, she
has
put
her
blood
on
the open
rock,
so
that
it
may
not
be
covered.
\VS{9}For
this cause
the
Lord
has
said:
A curse
is
on
the
town
of
blood!
and
I
will
make
great
the burning mass.
\VS{10}Put
on
much
wood, heating up
the
fire, boiling
the
flesh
well,
and making
the soup thick,
and let
the
bones
be
burned.
\VS{11}And
I
will put
her
on
the
coals
so
that she
may be heated
and
her
brass
burned,
so
that
what
is
unclean
in
her
may become soft
and
her waste be
completely taken away.
\VS{12}I
have made myself
tired
to
no purpose: still
all
the waste
which
is
in
her
has
not
come
out,
it
has
an evil smell.
\VS{13}As
for
your
unclean purpose:
because
I
have
been attempting
to make
you
clean,
but
you
have
not
been made
clean
from
it,
you
will
not
be made
clean
till
I
have
let loose
my passion
on
you
in full measure.
\VS{14}I
the
Lord
have
said
the
word
and
I
will
do
it;
I
will
not
go
back
or
have
mercy,
and
my purpose
will
not
be
changed;
in
the measure
of
your
ways
and
of
your evil doings
you
will
be
judged,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{15}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{16}Son
of
man,
see,
I
am
taking
away
the
desire
of
your
eyes
by disease:
but
let there
be
no sorrow
or
weeping
or drops running
from
your
eyes.
\VS{17}Let there
be
no sound
of
sorrow;
make
no weeping
for
your
dead,
put
on
your head-dress
and
your
shoes
on
your
feet,
let
not
your lips
be covered,
and
do
not
take
the
food
of
those
in grief.
\VS{18}So
in
the
morning
I
was teaching
the
people
and
in
the
evening
death
took
my
wife;
and
in
the
morning
I
did
what
I
had
been
ordered
to
do.
\VS{19}And
the
people
said
to
me,
Will
you
not
make clear
to
us
the sense
of
these
things;
is
it
for
us
you
do
them?
\VS{20}Then
I
said
to
them,
The
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{21}Say
to
the
people
of
Israel,
The
Lord
has
said,
See,
I
will make
my
holy
place unclean,
the
pride
of
your
strength,
the pleasure
of
your
eyes,
and
the
desire
of
your
soul;
and
your
sons
and
daughters,
who
did
not
come
with
you
here,
will
be put
to
the
sword.
\VS{22}And
you
will
do
as
I
have
done,
not covering
your lips
or taking
the
food
of
those
in grief.
\VS{23}And
your head-dresses
will
be
on
your
heads
and
your
shoes
on
your
feet: there
will
be
no
sorrow
or
weeping;
but
you
will
be wasting
away
in
the
punishment
of
your evil-doing,
and
you
will
be looking
at
one
another
in wonder.
\VS{24}And
Ezekiel
will
be
a
sign
to
you;
everything
he
has
done
you
will
do:
when
this
takes
place,
you
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{25}And
as
for
you,
son
of
man,
your
mouth
will
be shut
in
the
day
when
I
take
from
them
their
strength,
the
joy
of
their
glory,
the
desire
of
their
eyes,
and
that
on
which
their hearts
are fixed,
and
their
sons
and
daughters.
\VS{26}In
that
day,
one
who
has got
away safe
will
come
to
you
to
give
you news
of
it.
\VS{27}In
that
day
your
mouth
will
be
open
to
him
who
has got
away safe,
and
you
will
say
words
to
him
and
your
lips
will
no
longer
be shut:
so
you
will
be
a
sign
to
them
and
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{25}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}Son
of
man,
let
your
face
be
turned
to
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
be
a prophet
against
them:
\VS{3}And
say
to
the
children
of
Ammon,
Give ear
to
the
word
of
the
Lord;
this
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
Because
you
said,
Aha!
against
my
holy
place
when
it
was
made unclean,
and
against
the
land
of
Israel
when
it
was
made
waste,
and
against
the
people
of
Judah
when
they
were taken
away
as prisoners;
\VS{4}For
this
cause
I
will
give
you
up
to
the
children
of
the
east
for
their heritage,
and
they
will
put
their tent-circles
in
you
and
make
their houses
in
you;
they
will
take
your
fruit
for
their
food
and
your
milk
for
their
drink.
\VS{5}And
I
will
make
Rabbah
a
place
for housing
camels,
and
the
children
of
Ammon
a resting-place
for
flocks:
and
you
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{6}For
the
Lord
has
said,
Because
you
have
made sounds
of
joy
with
your
hands, stamping
your
feet,
and
have
been
glad, putting shame
with
all
your
soul
on
the
land
of
Israel;
\VS{7}For
this
cause
my
hand
has
been
stretched
out
against
you,
and
I
will
give
up
your goods
to
be
taken
by
the
nations;
I
will
have
you
cut
off
from
the
peoples
and
will
put
an end
to
you
among
the
countries:
I
will
give
you
up
to
destruction;
and
you
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{8}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
Because
Moab
and
Seir
are
saying,
See,
the
people
of
Judah
are
like
all
the
nations;
\VS{9}For
this cause,
I
will
let
the
side
of
Moab
be uncovered,
and
his
towns
on every
side,
the glory
of
the
land,
Beth-jeshimoth,
Baal-meon
and
as far
as
Kiriathaim.
\VS{10}To
the
children
of
the
east
I
have
given
her
for
a heritage,
as
well
as
the
children
of
Ammon,
so
that
there
may
be
no memory
of
her
among
the
nations:
\VS{11}And
I
will
be
the
judge
of
Moab;
and
they
will
see
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{12}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
Because
Edom
has
taken
his payment
from
the people
of
Judah,
and
has
done great
wrong
in
taking payment
from
them;
\VS{13}The
Lord
has
said,
My
hand
will
be
stretched
out
against
Edom, cutting
off
from
it
man
and
beast:
and
I
will
make
it
waste,
from
Teman
even
as
far
as
Dedan
they
will
be
put
to
the
sword.
\VS{14}I
will
take payment
from
Edom
because
of
my
people
Israel;
and
I
will
take
Edom
in
hand
in
my
wrath
and
in
my passion:
and
they
will
have
experience
of
my reward,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{15}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
Because
the
Philistines
have
taken payment,
with
the purpose
of causing shame
and
destruction
with
unending hate;
\VS{16}The
Lord
has
said,
See,
my
hand
will
be
stretched
out
against
the
Philistines, cutting
off
the
Cherethites
and sending
destruction
on
the
rest
of
the sea-land.
\VS{17}And
I
will
take
great payment
from
them
with
acts
of
wrath;
and
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord
when
I
send
my punishment
on
them.

\par }\Chap{26}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
in
the
eleventh
year,
on
the
first
day
of
the
month,
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}Son
of
man,
because
Tyre
has
said
against
Jerusalem,
Aha,
she
who
was
the doorway
of
the
peoples
is
broken;
she
is
turned
over
to
them;
she
who
was
full
is
made waste;
\VS{3}For
this cause
the
Lord
has
said,
See,
I
am
against
you,
O
Tyre,
and
will
send
up
a number
of
nations
against
you
as
the
sea sends
up
its
waves.
\VS{4}And they
will
give
the
walls
of
Tyre
to
destruction
and
have
its
towers
broken:
and
I
will
take
even
her
dust
away
from
her,
and
make
her
an uncovered
rock
\VS{5}She
will
be
a
place
for
the stretching
out
of
nets
in
the
middle
of
the
sea;
for
I
have
said
it,
says
the
Lord:
and
her goods
will
be given
over
to
the
nations.
\VS{6}And
her
daughters
in
the open
country
will
be put
to
the
sword:
and
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{7}For
this
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
See,
I
will send
up
from
the
north
Nebuchadrezzar,
king
of
Babylon,
king
of
kings,
against
Tyre,
with
horses
and war-carriages
and
with
an
army
and
great numbers
of
people.
\VS{8}He
will
put
to
the
sword
your
daughters
in
the open
country:
he
will
make strong
walls
against
you
and
put
up
an earthwork
against
you, arming himself
for
war
against
you.
\VS{9}He
will
put
up
his engines
of
war
against
your
walls,
and
your
towers
will
be
broken
down
by
his
axes.
\VS{10}Because
of
the number
of
his
horses
you
will
be
covered
with
their
dust:
your
walls
will
be shaking
at
the
noise
of
the
horsemen
and
of
the
wheels
and
of
the war-carriages,
when
he
comes
through
your doorways,
as
into
a
town which has been
broken
open.
\VS{11}Your
streets
will
be stamped
down
by
the feet
of
his
horses:
he
will
put
your
people
to
the
sword,
and
will send
down
the
pillars
of
your
strength
to
the
earth.
\VS{12}They
will
take
by
force all
your
wealth
and go off
with
the
goods
with
which
you do
trade:
they
will
have
your
walls
broken
down
and all
the
houses
of
your
desire given
up
to destruction:
they
will
put
your
stones
and
your
wood
and
your
dust deep
in
the
water.
\VS{13}I
will put
an end
to
the
noise
of
your
songs,
and
the
sound
of
your
instruments
of
music
will
be
gone
for
ever.
\VS{14}I
will
make
you
an uncovered
rock:
you
will
be
a
place
for
the stretching out
of
nets;
there
will
be
no
building
you
up
again:
for
I
the
Lord
have
said
it,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{15}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said
to
Tyre:
Will
not
the sea-lands
be shaking
at
the
sound
of
your
fall,
when
the
wounded give
cries
of pain,
when
men
are put
to
the sword
in
you?
\VS{16}Then
all
the
rulers
of
the
sea
will
come
down
from
their high seats,
and
put
away
their
robes
and
take
off
their
clothing
of needlework:
they
will
put
on
the
clothing
of grief,
they
will
take
their seats
on
the
earth, shaking
with
fear
every minute
and overcome
with wonder
at
you.
\VS{17}And
they
will
send
up
a song
of grief
for
you,
and
say
to
you,
What
destruction
has
come
on
you,
how
are
you cut
off
from
the
sea,
the noted
town,
which
was
strong
in
the
sea,
she
and
her
people, causing
the fear
of
them
to
come
on
all
the dry land!
\VS{18}Now
the sea-lands
will
be shaking
in
the
day
of
your
fall;
and
all
the ships
on
the
sea
will
be overcome
with
fear
at
your
going.
\VS{19}For
this
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
I
will
make
you
a waste
town,
like
the
towns
which
are unpeopled;
when
I
make
the
deep
come
upon
you,
covering
you
with
great
waters.
\VS{20}Then
I
will
make
you
go
down
with those
who
go
down
into
the underworld,
to
the
people
of
the
past, causing
your living-place
to
be
in
the deepest
parts
of
the
earth,
in
places
long unpeopled,
with those
who
go
down
into
the deep,
so
that
there
will
be
no
one
living
in
you;
and
you
will
have
no glory
in
the
land
of
the
living.
\VS{21}I
will
make
you
a thing
of fear,
and
you
will
come
to
an end:
even if
you
are
looked
for,
you
will
not
be seen
again
for
ever,
says
the
Lord.

they
gave
you
horns
of
ivory
and
ebony
as
an offering.
\VS{16}Edom
did
business
with
you
because
of
the
great
number
of
things which
you
made; they
gave
emeralds,
purple,
and needlework,
and
the best
linen
and
coral
and
rubies
for
your
goods.
\VS{17}Judah
and
the
land
of
Israel
were
your
traders;
they
gave
grain
of
Minnith
and sweet
cakes
and
honey
and
oil
and perfume
for
your goods.
\VS{18}Damascus
did
business
with
you
because
of
the
great
amount
of
your
wealth,
with
wine
of
Helbon
and
white
wool.
\VS{19}...
for
your goods: they
gave polished
iron
and spices
for
your goods.
\VS{20}Dedan did trade with you in cloths for the backs
of horses.
\VS{21}Arabia
and
all
the rulers
of
Kedar did business
with
you;
in
lambs
and sheep
and
goats,
in
these
they did business
with
you.
\VS{22}The
traders
of
Sheba
and
Raamah did trade
with
you;
they
gave
the
best
of
all sorts
of
spices
and
all sorts
of
stones
of great price
and
gold
for
your goods.
\VS{23}Haran
and
Canneh
and
Eden, the
traders
of
Asshur
and all the Medes:
\VS{24}These
were your
traders in beautiful robes, in rolls
of
blue
and needlework,
and in chests
of coloured
cloth, corded with
cords
and made
of cedar-wood, in
them
they did trade with you.
\VS{25}Tarshish
ships did business
for
you
in
your goods:
and
you
were
made
full,
and
great
was
your
glory
in
the
heart
of
the
seas.
\VS{26}Your boatmen
have taken
you
into
great
waters:
you
have been
broken
by
the
east
wind
in
the
heart
of
the
seas.
\VS{27}Your
wealth
and
your goods,
the
things
in
which
you
do trade,
your seamen
and
those guiding
your ships,
those
who
make
your boards watertight,
and
those
who
do business
with
your goods,
and
all
your
men
of
war
who
are
in
you,
with
all
who
have
come
together
in
you,
will
go
down
into
the
heart
of
the
seas
in
the
day
of
your
downfall.
\VS{28}At
the
sound
of
the
cry
of your ships' guides,
the boards
of
the ship
will
be shaking.
\VS{29}And
all
the boatmen,
the seamen
and
those
who
are expert
at guiding
a
ship
through
the
sea,
will
come
down
from
their
ships
and
take
their
places
on
the
land;
\VS{30}And
their
voices
will
be sounding
over
you,
and
crying
bitterly
they
will
put
dust
on
their
heads, rolling
themselves
in
the
dust:
\VS{31}And
they
will have
the hair
of
their heads cut off
because
of
you,
and
will
put haircloth
on
their bodies,
weeping
for
you
with
bitter grief
in
their
souls, even
with
bitter
sorrow.
\VS{32}And
in
their weeping
they
will
make
a song
of grief
for
you, sorrowing
over
you
and saying,
Who
is
like
Tyre,
who
has come
to
an end
in
the deep
sea?
\VS{33}When
your goods
went
out
over
the
seas,
you
made
numbers
of
peoples
full;
the
wealth
of
the
kings
of
the
earth
was
increased
with
your
great
wealth
and
all
your goods.
\VS{34}Now
that
you are
broken
by
the
seas
in
the
deep
waters,
your goods
and
all
your people
will
go
down
with
you.
\VS{35}All
the
people
of
the sea-lands
are overcome
with wonder
at
you,
and
their
kings
are
full
of fear,
their
faces
are
troubled.
\VS{36}Those
who
do business
among
the
peoples make sounds
of surprise
at
you;
you
have
become
a thing
of fear,
you
have
come
to
an end
for
ever.

\par }\Chap{28}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me
again,
saying,
\VS{2}Son
of
man,
say
to
the
ruler
of
Tyre,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
Because
your
heart
has
been lifted
up,
and
you
have
said,
I
am
a
god,
I
am
seated
on
the
seat
of
God
in
the
heart
of
the
seas;
but
you
are
man
and
not
God, though
you
have
made
your
heart
as
the
heart
of
God:
\VS{3}See,
you
are
wiser
than
Daniel;
there
is
no
secret which
is deeper
than
your knowledge:
\VS{4}By
your
wisdom
and deep knowledge
you have got
power
for yourself,
and put
silver
and
gold
in
your store-houses:
\VS{5}By your
great
wisdom
and
by your
trade your
power
is
increased,
and your
heart
is lifted up
because
of your
power:
\VS{6}For
this
cause
the
Lord
has
said:
Because
you
have
made
your
heart
as
the
heart
of
God,
\VS{7}See,
I
am sending
against
you
strange
men, feared
among
the
nations:
they
will
let
loose
their
swords
against
your bright
wisdom,
they
will make
your glory
a common
thing.
\VS{8}They
will send
you
down
to
the underworld,
and
your
death
will
be
the
death
of those who
are
put
to
the sword
in
the
heart
of
the
seas.
\VS{9}Will
you
say,
in
the
face
of
those
who
are taking
your life,
I
am
God?
but
you
are
man
and
not
God
in
the
hands
of
those
who
are wounding
you.
\VS{10}Your
death
will
be
the
death
of
those
who
are without circumcision,
by
the
hands
of men
from
strange lands:
for
I
have
said
it,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{11}Then
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{12}Son
of
man,
make
a song
of grief
for
the
king
of
Tyre,
and
say
to
him,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
You
are all-wise
and
completely
beautiful;
\VS{13}You
were
in
Eden,
the
garden
of
God;
every
stone
of
great price
was
your clothing,
the sardius,
the
topaz,
and
the
diamond,
the
beryl,
the
onyx,
and
the
jasper,
the emerald
and
the carbuncle:
your store-houses
were
full
of
gold,
and
things
of
great price
were
in
you;
in
the
day
when
you
were
made
they
were got
ready.
\VS{14}I
gave
you
your
place
with
the winged
one;
I
put
you
on
the
mountain
of
God;
you
went
up
and
down
among
the
stones
of
fire.
\VS{15}There
has
been
no
evil
in
your
ways
from
the
day
when
you
were made,
till
sin
was seen
in
you.
\VS{16}Through
all
your trading
you
have
become
full
of
violent ways,
and
have
done evil:
so I sent
you
out shamed
from
the
mountain
of
God;
the winged one put
an end
to
you
from
among
the
stones
of
fire.
\VS{17}Your
heart
was lifted
up
because
you
were
beautiful,
you
made
your
wisdom evil
through
your sin:
I
have
sent
you
down,
even
to
the
earth;
I
have
made
you
low
before
kings,
so
that
they
may
see
you.
\VS{18}By
all
your
sin,
even
by
your
evil trading,
you
have
made
your
holy
places unclean;
so
I
will
make
a
fire
come
out
from
you,
it
will
make
a meal
of
you,
and
I
will
make
you
as
dust
on
the
earth
before
the
eyes
of
all
who
see
you.
\VS{19}All
who
have
knowledge
of
you
among
the
peoples
will
be
overcome
with wonder
at
you:
you
have
become
a
thing
of fear,
and
you
will
never
be seen
again.
\VS{20}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{21}Son
of
man,
let
your
face
be
turned
to Zidon,
and
be
a prophet
against
it,
and say,
\VS{22}These
are
the words
of
the
Lord:
See,
I
am
against
you,
O Zidon;
and
I
will
get
glory
for
myself
in
you:
and
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord,
when
I send
my punishments
on
her,
and
I
will
be seen
to
be
holy
in
her.
\VS{23}And
I
will
send
on
her disease
and
blood
in
her
streets;
and
the
wounded
will
be
falling
in
the
middle
of
her,
and
the
sword
will
be
against
her
on
every
side;
and
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{24}And
there
will
no
longer
be
a plant
with sharp points wounding
the children
of
Israel,
or
a
thorn troubling
them
among
any
who
are
round
about
them,
who put shame
on
them;
and
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{25}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
When
I
have got
together
the children
of
Israel
from
the
peoples
among
whom
they
are wandering,
and
have
been
made
holy
among
them
before
the
eyes
of
the
nations,
then
they
will
have rest
in
the
land
which
is theirs,
which
I
gave
to
my
servant
Jacob
\VS{26}And
they
will
be safe
there,
building
houses
and planting vine-gardens
and
living without fear;
when
I
have sent
my punishments
on
all
those
who put shame
on
them
round
about
them;
and
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord
their
God.

\par }\Chap{29}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In
the
tenth
year,
in
the
tenth
month,
on
the twelfth
day
of
the
month,
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}Son
of
man,
let
your
face
be
turned
against
Pharaoh,
king
of
Egypt,
and
be
a prophet
against
him
and
against
all
Egypt:
\VS{3}Say
to
them,
These
are
the words
of
the
Lord:
See,
I
am
against
you,
Pharaoh,
king
of
Egypt,
the
great river-beast stretched
out
among
his
Nile
streams,
who
has
said,
The
Nile
is mine,
and
I
have
made
it
for
myself.
\VS{4}And
I
will
put
hooks
in
your mouth,
and
the
fish
of
your
streams
will
be
hanging
from
your skin;
and
I
will
make
you
come
up
out
of
your
streams,
with
all
the
fish
of
your
streams
hanging
from
your skin.
\VS{5}And
I
will
let
you
be
in
the
waste
land,
you
and
all
the
fish
of
your
streams:
you
will
go
down
on
the
face
of
the
land;
you
will
not
be
taken
up
or
put
to rest
in
the
earth;
I
have
given
you
for
food
to
the
beasts
of
the
field
and
the
birds
of
the
heaven.
\VS{6}And
it
will
be
clear
to
all
the
people
of
Egypt
that
I
am
the
Lord,
because
you
have
been
a false support
to
the children
of
Israel.
\VS{7}When
they
took
a grip
of
you
in
their
hands,
you
were
crushed
so
that
their arms
were
broken:
and
when
they
put
their weight
on
you
for support,
you
were
broken
and
all
their muscles gave
way.
\VS{8}For
this cause
the
Lord
has
said:
See,
I
am sending
a
sword
on
you, cutting
off
from
you
man
and
beast.
\VS{9}And
the
land
of
Egypt
will
be
an unpeopled
waste;
and
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord:
because
he
has
said,
The
Nile
is mine,
and
I
made
it.
\VS{10}See,
then,
I
am
against
you
and
against
your
streams,
and
I
will
make
the
land
of
Egypt
an unpeopled
waste,
from
Migdol
to Syene,
even
as
far
as
the edge
of
Ethiopia.
\VS{11}No
foot
of
man
will
go
through
it
and
no
foot
of
beast,
and
it
will
be unpeopled
for
forty
years.
\VS{12}I
will
make
the
land
of
Egypt
a
waste
among
the
countries
which
are
made
waste,
and
her
towns
will
be unpeopled
among
the
towns
which
have
been
made
waste,
for
forty
years:
and
I
will
send
the
Egyptians
in flight
among
the
nations
and wandering
through
the
countries.
\VS{13}For
this
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
At
the
end
of
forty
years
I
will get
the
Egyptians
together
from
the
peoples
where
they
have
gone
in flight:
\VS{14}I
will
let
the fate
of
Egypt
be changed,
and
will
make
them
come
back
into
the
land
of
Pathros,
into
the
land
from
which
they
came;
and
there
they
will
be
an unimportant
kingdom.
\VS{15}It
will
be
the
lowest
of
the
kingdoms,
and
never
again
will
it
be
lifted
up
over
the
nations:
I
will
make
them
small,
so
that
they
may
not
have
rule
over
the
nations.
\VS{16}And Egypt
will
no
longer
be
the hope
of
the children
of
Israel, causing
sin
to
come
to
mind
when
their eyes
are
turned
to
them:
and
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{17}Now
in
the twenty-seventh
year,
in
the
first
month,
on
the
first
day
of
the
month,
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{18}Son
of
man,
Nebuchadrezzar,
king
of
Babylon,
made
his
army
do
hard
work
against
Tyre,
and
the
hair
came
off
every
head
and
every arm
was
rubbed
smooth:
but
he
and
his
army got
no payment
out
of
Tyre
for
the
hard
work
which
he
had
done
against
it.
\VS{19}For
this
cause
the
Lord
has
said:
See,
I
am
giving
the
land
of
Egypt
to
Nebuchadrezzar,
king
of
Babylon:
he
will
take
away
her
wealth,
and
take
her goods
by force
and everything which
is
there;
and
this
will
be
the payment
for
his
army.
\VS{20}I
have
given
him
the
land
of
Egypt
as
the
reward
for
his hard
work,
because
they
were
working
for
me,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{21}In
that
day
I
will
make
a
horn
put
out buds
for
the children
of
Israel,
and
I
will
let
your
words come freely
among
them,
and
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{30}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me
again,
saying,
\VS{2}Son
of
man,
be
a
prophet,
and
say, These
are
the words
of
the
Lord: Give
a cry, Aha,
for
the
day!
\VS{3}For
the
day
is
near,
the
day
of
the
Lord
is
near,
a
day
of
cloud;
it
will
be
the
time
of
the
nations.
\VS{4}And
a
sword
will
come
on
Egypt,
and cruel pain
will
be
in
Ethiopia,
when
they
are
falling
by
the
sword
in
Egypt;
and
they
will
take
away
her
wealth
and
her bases
will
be
broken
down.

and
Put
and
Lud
and
all
the mixed
people
and Libya
and
the
children
of
the
land
of
the Cherethites
will
all
be
put
to death
with
them
by
the
sword.
\VS{6}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
The
supporters
of
Egypt
will
have
a
fall,
and
the
pride
of
her
power
will
come
down:
from
Migdol
to Syene
they
will
be
put
to
the
sword
in
it,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{7}And she
will
be
made
waste
among
the
countries which
have
been
made
waste,
and
her
towns
will
be
among
the
towns which
are unpeopled.
\VS{8}And
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord,
when
I
have
put
a
fire
in
Egypt
and
all
her
helpers
are
broken.
\VS{9}In
that
day men
will
go
out quickly
to
take
the news,
causing
fear
in untroubled
Ethiopia;
and bitter pain
will
come
on
them
as
in
the
day
of
Egypt;
for
see,
it
is
coming.
\VS{10}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
I
will
put
an end
to
great numbers
of
the
people
of
Egypt
by
the
hand
of
Nebuchadrezzar,
king
of
Babylon.
\VS{11}He
and
the
people
with
him,
causing fear
among
the
nations,
will
be sent
for
the
destruction
of
the
land;
their
swords
will
be let
loose
against
Egypt
and
the
land
will
be
full
of
dead.
\VS{12}And
I
will
make
the
Nile
streams
dry,
and
will
give
the
land
into
the
hands
of
evil men,
causing
the
land
and everything
in
it
to
be wasted
by
the
hands
of men
from
a
strange
country:
I
the
Lord
have
said
it.
\VS{13}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
In addition
to
this,
I
will
give
up
the
images
to
destruction
and
put
an end
to
the false gods
in Noph;
never
again
will
there
be
a ruler
in
the
land
of
Egypt:
and
I
will
put
a
fear
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{14}And
I
will
make
Pathros
a
waste,
and
put
a
fire
in
Zoan,
and
send
my punishments
on
No.
\VS{15}I
will let
loose
my
wrath
on Sin,
the
strong place
of
Egypt, cutting
off
the mass
of
the
people
of No.
\VS{16}And
I
will
put
a
fire
in
Egypt;
Syene
will
be twisting
in pain,
and
No
will
be
broken
into,
as
by
the onrush
of waters.

young
men
of
On

Pi-beseth
will
be put
to

sword:
and
these towns
will
be taken
away
prisoners.
\VS{18}And
at
Tehaphnehes
the
day
will become
dark,
when
the
yoke
of
Egypt
is
broken
there,
and
the
pride
of
her
power
comes
to
an end:
as
for
her,
she
will
be
covered
with
a
cloud,
and
her
daughters
will
be taken away
prisoners.
\VS{19}And
I
will send
my punishments
on
Egypt:
and
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{20}Now
in
the
eleventh
year,
in
the
first
month,
on
the
seventh
day
of
the
month,
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{21}Son
of
man,
the
arm
of
Pharaoh,
king
of
Egypt,
has
been
broken
by
me,
and
no band
has
been
put round
it
to
make
it well,
no band
has
been twisted round
it
to
make
it
strong
for gripping
the
sword.
\VS{22}For
this cause
the
Lord
has
said:
See,
I
am
against
Pharaoh,
king
of
Egypt,
and
by
me
his
strong
arm
will
be
broken;
and
I
will
make
the
sword
go
out
of
his
hand.
\VS{23}And
I
will send
the
Egyptians
in flight
among
the
nations
and wandering
through
the
countries.
\VS{24}And
I
will
make
the
arms
of
the
king
of
Babylon
strong,
and
will
put
my
sword
in
his
hand:
but Pharaoh's
arms
will
be
broken,
and
he
will
give cries
of pain
before
him
like
the cries
of
a man
wounded
to death.
\VS{25}And
I
will
make
the
arms
of
the
king
of
Babylon
strong,
and
the
arms
of
Pharaoh
will
be
hanging
down;
and
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord,
when
I
put
my
sword
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon
and
it
is
stretched
out
against
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{26}And
I
will send
the
Egyptians
in flight
among
the
nations
and wandering
through
the
countries;
and
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{31}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
in
the
eleventh
year,
in
the
third
month,
on
the
first
day
of
the
month,
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}Son
of
man,
say
to
Pharaoh,
king
of
Egypt,
and
to
his
people;
Whom
are
you
like
in
your
great power?
\VS{3}See,
a pine-tree
with
beautiful
branches
and thick growth, giving
shade
and
very
tall;
and
its
top
was
among
the
clouds.
\VS{4}It
got strength
from
the
waters
and
the
deep
made
it
tall:
its
streams
went
round
about
its
planted
land
and
it
sent
out
its waterways
to
all
the
trees
of
the
field.
\VS{5}In
this
way
it became
taller
than
all
the
trees
of
the
field;
and
its
branches
were
increased
and
its arms became
long
because
of
the
great
waters.
\VS{6}In
its
branches
all
the
birds
of
heaven came
to rest,
and
under
its arms
all
the
beasts
of
the
field
gave
birth
to
their young,
and
great
nations
were
living
in
its
shade.
\VS{7}So
it
was
beautiful,
being
so tall
and
its
branches
so
long,
for
its
root
was
by
great
waters.
\VS{8}No
cedars
were
equal
to
it
in
the
garden
of
God;
the fir-trees
were
not
like
its
branches,
and plane-trees
were
as
nothing
in comparison
with
its arms;
no
tree
in
the
garden
of
God
was
so
beautiful.
\VS{9}I
made
it
beautiful
with
its
mass
of
branches:
so
that
all
the
trees
in
the
garden
of
God
were
full
of
envy
of
it.
\VS{10}For
this
cause
the
Lord
has
said:
Because
he
is
tall,
and
has
put
his
top
among
the
clouds,
and
his
heart
is full
of
pride
because
he
is
so
high,
\VS{11}I
have
given
him
up
into
the
hands
of
a strong
one
of
the
nations;
he
will
certainly
give
him
the reward
of
his sin,
driving
him
out.
\VS{12}And
men
from
strange
lands,
who
are
to
be feared
among
the
nations,
after cutting
him
off,
have
let
him
be:
on
the
mountains
and
in
all
the
valleys
his
branches
have
come
down;
his arms
are
broken
by
all
the waterways
of
the
land;
all
the
peoples
of
the
earth
have
gone
from
his
shade,
and
have
let
him
be.
\VS{13}All
the
birds
of
heaven
have
come
to
rest
on
his broken stem
where
it
is stretched
on
the
earth,
and
all
the
beasts
of
the
field
will
be
on
his
branches:
\VS{14}In
order
that
no
trees
by
the
waters
may
be lifted
up
in
their growth,
putting
their tops
among
the
clouds;
and
that
no
trees
which
are
watered
may
take
their
place
on
high:
for
they
are
all
given
up
to
death,
to
the
lowest
parts
of
the
earth
among
the
children
of
men,
with
those
who
go
down
to
the underworld.
\VS{15}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
The
day
when
he
goes
down
to
the underworld,
I
will
make
the
deep
full
of grief
for
him;
I
will
keep
back
her
streams
and
the
great
waters
will
be
stopped:
I
will
make
Lebanon
dark
for
him,
and
all
the
trees
of
the
field
will
be feeble
because
of
him.
\VS{16}I
will send shaking
on
the
nations
at
the
sound
of
his
fall,
when
I send
him
down
to
the underworld
with
those
who
go
down
into
the deep:
and
on
earth
they
will
be comforting
themselves,
all
the
trees
of
Eden,
the
best
of
Lebanon,
even
all
the
watered ones.
\VS{17}And
they
will
go
down
with
him
to
the underworld,
to
those
who
have been
put
to
the
sword;
even
those
who
were
his helpers,
living
under
his
shade
among
the
nations
\VS{18}Whom
then
are
you
like?
for
you
will
be sent
down
with
the
trees
of
Eden
into
the
lowest
parts
of
the
earth:
there
you
will
be stretched
out
among
those without circumcision,
with
those
who
were
put
to
the
sword.
This
is
Pharaoh
and
all
his
people,
says
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{32}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
about
in
the twelfth
year,
in
the twelfth
month,
on
the
first
day
of
the
month,
that
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}Son
of
man,
make
a song
of grief
for
Pharaoh,
king
of
Egypt,
and
say
to
him,
Young
lion
of
the
nations, destruction
has come
on
you;
and
you
were
like
a sea-beast
in
the
seas, sending
out bursts
of
water, troubling
the
waters
with
your
feet, making
their
streams dirty.
\VS{3}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
My
net
will
be
stretched
out
over
you,
and
I
will
take
you
up
in
my fishing-net.
\VS{4}And
I
will let
you
be stretched
on
the
land;
I
will send
you
out violently
into
the
open
field;
I
will let
all
the
birds
of
heaven come
to
rest
on
you
and
will make
the
beasts
of
all
the
earth
full
of
you.
\VS{5}And
I
will
put
your
flesh
on
the
mountains,
and
make
the
valleys
full
of
your blood.
\VS{6}And
the
land
will
be
watered
with
your
blood,
and
the waterways
will
be
full
of
you.
\VS{7}And
when
I
put
out
your life,
the
heaven
will
be
covered
and
its
stars
made
dark;
I
will
let
the
sun
be
covered
with
a
cloud
and
the
moon
will
not
give
her
light.
\VS{8}All
the
bright
lights
of
heaven
I
will
make
dark
over
you,
and
put
dark night
on
your
land,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{9}And
the
hearts
of numbers
of
peoples
will
be troubled,
when
I send
your prisoners
among
the
nations,
into
a
country
which
is strange
to
you.
\VS{10}And
I
will
make
a
number
of
peoples overcome
with wonder
at
you,
and
their
kings
will
be
full
of
fear
because
of
you,
when
my
sword
is waved
before
them:
they
will
be shaking
every minute,
every
man fearing
for
his
life,
in
the
day
of
your
fall.
\VS{11}For
this
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
The
sword
of
the
king
of
Babylon
will
come
on
you.
\VS{12}I
will let
the
swords
of
the
strong
be
the cause
of
the
fall
of
your
people;
all
of
them
men
to
be feared
among
the
nations:
and
they
will make
waste
the
pride
of
Egypt,
and
all
its
people
will
come
to
destruction.
\VS{13}And
I
will put
an end
to
all
her
beasts
which
are
by
the
great
waters,
and
they
will
never
again
be troubled
by
the
foot
of
man
or
by
the
feet
of
beasts.
\VS{14}Then
I
will make
their
waters clear
and
their
rivers
will
be
flowing like
oil,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{15}When
I
make
Egypt
an unpeopled
waste, cutting
off
from
the
land
all
the
things
in
it;
when
I
send punishment
on
all
those
living
in
it,
then
it
will
be
clear
to
them
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{16}It
is
a song
of grief,
and
people
will give voice
to
it,
the
daughters
of
the
nations
will give voice
to
it,
even
for
Egypt
and
all
her
people,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{17}And
in
the twelfth
year,
on
the fifteenth
day
of
the
month,
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{18}Son
of
man,
let
your voice
be loud
in
sorrow
for
the
people
of
Egypt
and send
them
down,
even
you
and
the
daughters
of
the
nations;
I
will send
them
down
into
the
lowest
parts
of
the
earth,
with
those
who
go
down
into
the underworld.
\VS{19}Are
you more beautiful than any?
go
down,
and
take
your
rest
among those without circumcision,
\VS{20}Among
those
who
have
been
put
to
the
sword:
they
will
give
a resting-place
with
them
to
all
their
people.
\VS{21}The
strong
among
the
great
ones
will
say
to
him
from
the underworld,
Are
you more beautiful than any?
go
down,
you
and
your
helpers,
and
take
your
rest
among those without circumcision,
and those
who
have been
put
to
the
sword.
\VS{22}There
is
Asshur
and
all
her army,
round
about
her last resting-place:
all
of
them put
to death
by
the
sword:
\VS{23}Whose resting-places
are
in
the inmost
parts
of
the underworld,
who
were
a
cause
of fear
in
the
land
of
the
living.
\VS{24}There
is
Elam
and
all
her
people,
round
about
her last resting-place:
all
of
them
put
to death
by
the
sword,
who
have
gone
down without circumcision
into
the
lowest
parts
of
the
earth,
who
were
a
cause
of fear
in
the
land
of
the
living,
and
are
put
to
shame
with
those
who
go
down
to
the underworld:
\VS{25}They
have
made
a
bed
for
her
among
the
dead,
and
all
her
people
are
round
about
her resting-place:
all

is
Meshech,
Tubal,
and
all
her
people,
round
about
her last resting-place:
all
of
them without circumcision,
put
to death
by
the
sword;
for
they
were
a
cause
of fear
in
the
land
of
the
living.
\VS{27}And
they
have
been
put
to
rest
with
the fighting
men
who
came
to
their end
in days long past,
who
went
down
to
the underworld
with
their
instruments
of
war,
placing
their
swords
under
their
heads,
and
their body-covers
are
over
their
bones;
for
their
strength
was
a
cause
of fear
in
the
land
of
the
living.
\VS{28}But
you
will
have
your
bed
among those without circumcision,
and
will
be put
to
rest
with those who
have been put
to death
with
the
sword.
\VS{29}There
is
Edom,
her
kings
and
all
her
princes,
who
have
been
given
a resting-place
with
those
who
were
put
to
the
sword:
they
will
be resting
among
those without circumcision, even
with
those
who
go
down
to
the underworld.
\VS{30}There
are
the chiefs
of
the
north,
all
of
them,
and
all
the Zidonians,
who
have
gone
down
with
those
who
have
been
put

they
are
shamed
on account
of
all
the fear
caused
by
their
strength;
they
are resting
there without circumcision,
among
those
who
have
been
put
to
the
sword,
and
are
put

shame
with
those
who
go

\VS{31}Pharaoh
will
see
them
and
be
comforted
on
account
of
all
his
people:
even
Pharaoh
and
all
his
army, put
to death
by
the
sword,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{32}For
he
put
his fear
in
the
land
of
the
living:
and
he
will
be
put
to
rest
among
those without circumcision,
with
those
who
have

even
Pharaoh
and

\par }\Chap{33}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}Son
of
man,
give
a
word
to
the
children
of
your
people,
and
say
to
them,
When
I
make
the
sword
come
on
a
land,
if
the
people
of
the
land
take
a
man
from
among
their number
and
make
him
their
watchman:
\VS{3}If,
when
he
sees
the
sword
coming
on
the
land,
by sounding
the
horn
he gives
the
people news
of
their danger;
\VS{4}Then anyone
who,
hearing
the
sound
of
the
horn,
does
not
take note
of
it,
will
himself
be
responsible
for
his
death,
if
the
sword
comes
and
takes
him
away.
\VS{5}On
hearing
the
sound
of
the
horn,
he
did
not
take note;
his
blood
will
be
on
him;
for
if
he
had
taken note
his
life
would
have
been safe.
\VS{6}But
if
the
watchman
sees
the
sword
coming,
and
does
not
give
a
note
on
the
horn,
and
the
people
have
no word
of
the danger,
and
the
sword
comes
and
takes
any
person
from
among
them;
he
will
be
taken
away
in
his
sin,
but
I
will
make
the
watchman
responsible
for
his
blood.
\VS{7}So
you,
son
of
man,
I
have
made
you
a
watchman
for
the
children
of
Israel;
and
you
are
to
give ear
to
the
word
of
my
mouth
and
give
them news
from
me
of
their danger.
\VS{8}When
I
say
to
the evil-doer,
Death
will
certainly overtake
you;
and
you
say
nothing
to
make clear
to
the evil-doer
the danger
of
his
way;
death
will overtake
that
evil
man
in
his evil-doing,
but
I
will
make
you
responsible
for
his
blood.
\VS{9}But
if
you
make clear
to
the evil-doer
the danger
of
his
way
for
the purpose
of
turning
him
from
it,
and
he
is
not
turned
from
his
way,
death
will overtake
him
in
his evil-doing,
but
your
life
will
be safe.
\VS{10}And
you,
son
of
man,
say
to
the
children
of
Israel,
You
say,
Our wrongdoing
and
our
sins
are
on
us
and
we
are wasting
away
in
them;
how
then
may
we
have
life?
\VS{11}Say
to
them,
By
my
life,
says
the
Lord,
I
have
no
pleasure
in
the
death
of
the evil-doer;
it
is
more pleasing
to
me
if
he
is
turned
from
his
way
and
has
life:
be
turned,
be
turned
from
your
evil
ways;
why
are
you looking
for
death,
O children
of
Israel?
\VS{12}And
you,
son
of
man,
say
to
the
children
of
your
people,
The
righteousness
of
the upright
man
will
not
make
him safe
in
the
day
when
he
does
wrong;
and
the evil-doing
of
the
evil
man
will
not
be
the
cause
of
his
fall
in
the
day
when
he
is
turned
from
his evil-doing;
and
the upright
man
will
not
have
life
because
of
his
righteousness
in
the
day
when
he
does
evil.
\VS{13}When
I
say
to
the upright
that
life
will
certainly
be
his;
if
he
puts
his faith
in
his
righteousness
and
does
evil,
not
one
of
his upright
acts
will
be
kept
in memory;
but
in
the
evil
he
has
done,
death
will
overtake
him.
\VS{14}And
when
I
say
to
the evil-doer,
Death
will
certainly
be
your fate; if
he
is
turned
from
his
sin
and
does
what
is
ordered
and
right;
\VS{15}If
the evil-doer lets
one
who
is
in
his debt
have
back
what
is
his,
and
gives
back
what
he
had
taken
by force,
and
is guided
by
the
rules
of
life,
doing
no
evil;
life
will
certainly
be
his,
death
will
not overtake
him.
\VS{16}Not
one
of
the
sins
which
he
has
done
will
be
kept
in
mind
against
him:
he
has
done
what
is ordered
and
right,
life
will
certainly
be
his.
\VS{17}But
the
children
of
your
people
say,
The
way
of
the
Lord
is
not equal:
when
it
is
they
whose
way
is
not equal.
\VS{18}When
the upright
man,
turning
away
from
his
righteousness,
does
evil,
death
will overtake
him
in
it.
\VS{19}And
when
the
evil
man,
turning
away
from
his evil-doing,
does
what
is ordered
and
right,
he
will
get
life
by
it.
\VS{20}And
still
you
say,
The
way
of
the
Lord
is
not equal.
O children
of
Israel,
I
will
be
your
judge, giving
to
everyone
the reward
of
his
ways.
\VS{21}Now
in
the twelfth
year
after we
had
been
taken
away prisoners,
in
the
tenth
month,
on
the
fifth
day
of
the
month,
one
who
had got
away
in flight
from
Jerusalem
came
to
me,
saying,
The
town
has
been
taken.
\VS{22}Now
the
hand
of
the
Lord
had
been
on
me
in
the
evening,
before
the man
who
had got
away
came
to
me;
and
he
made
my
mouth
open, ready
for
his
coming
to
me
in
the
morning;
and
my
mouth
was
open
and
I
was
no
longer
without voice.
\VS{23}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{24}Son
of
man,
those
who
are
living
in
these
waste
places
in
the
land
of
Israel
say,
Abraham
was
but
one,
and
he
had
land
for
his heritage:
but
we
are
a
great number;
the
land
is
given
to
us
for
our heritage.
\VS{25}For
this cause
say
to
them,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
You
take
your meat
with
the
blood,
your
eyes
are
lifted
up
to
your images,
and
you
are takers
of
life:
are
you
to
have
the
land
for
your heritage?
\VS{26}You put
your faith
in
your
swords,
you
do
disgusting
things,
everyone
takes
his neighbour's
wife:
are
you
to
have
the
land
for
your heritage?
\VS{27}This
is
what
you
are
to
say
to
them:
The
Lord
has
said,
By
my
life,
truly,
those
who
are
in
the
waste
places
will
be
put
to
the
sword,
and
him
who
is
in
the
open
field
I
will
give
to
the
beasts
for
their
food,
and
those
who
are
in
the strong
places
and
in holes
in
the rocks
will
come
to
their
death
by disease.
\VS{28}And
I
will
make
the
land
a
waste
and
a
cause
of wonder,
and
the
pride
of
her
strength
will come
to
an end;
and
the
mountains
of
Israel
will
be
made
waste
so
that
no
one
will
go
through.
\VS{29}Then
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord,
when
I
have
made
the
land
a
waste
and
a
cause
of wonder,
because
of
all
the
disgusting
things
which
they
have
done,
\VS{30}And
as
for
you,
son
of
man,
the
children
of
your
people
are
talking
together
about
you
by
the
walls
and
in
the
doorways
of
the
houses,
saying
to
one
another,
Come
now,
give ear
to
the
word
which
comes
from
the
Lord.
\VS{31}And
they
come
to
you
as
my
people
come,
and
are
seated
before
you
as
my
people,
hearing
your
words
but
doing
them
not:
for deceit
is
in
their
mouth
and
their
heart
goes
after
profit
for
themselves.
\VS{32}And
truly
you
are
to
them
like
a love
song by
one
who
has
a very
pleasing
voice
and
is
an expert
player
on
an instrument:
for
they
give ear
to
your
words
but
do
them
not.
\VS{33}And
when
this
comes
about (see,
it
is
coming),
then
it
will
be clear
to
them
that
a
prophet
has
been
among
them.

\par }\Chap{34}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}Son
of
man,
be
a
prophet
against
the keepers
of
the
flock
of
Israel,
and
say
to
them,
O keepers
of
the
sheep!
this
is
the
word
of
the
Lord:
A curse
is
on
the keepers
of
the
flock
of
Israel
who
take
the food
for
themselves!
is
it
not right
for
the keepers
to
give
the food
to
the
sheep?
\VS{3}You take
the milk
and
are
clothed
with
the
wool,
you
put
the
fat beasts
to death,
but
you
give
the
sheep
no
food.
\VS{4}You
have
not
made
the diseased ones
strong
or
made well
that which
was ill;
you
have
not
put bands
on
the
broken
or got
back
that which
had
been
sent
away
or
made
search
for
the
wandering ones;
and
the
strong
you
have
been ruling cruelly.
\VS{5}And
they
were wandering
in
every direction
because
there
was
no keeper:
and
they
became
food
for
all
the
beasts
of
the
field.
\VS{6}And
my
sheep
went
out
of
the
way, wandering
through
all
the
mountains
and
on
every
high
hill:
my
sheep
went
here
and
there
over
all
the
face
of
the
earth;
and
no
one
was troubled
about
them
or
went
in
search
of
them.
\VS{7}For
this
cause,
O keepers
of
the flock,
give ear
to
the
word
of
the
Lord:
\VS{8}By
my
life,
says
the
Lord,
truly,
because
my
sheep
have
been
taken
away,
and
my
sheep
became
food
for
all
the
beasts
of
the
field,
because
there
was
no keeper,
and
my keepers
did
not
go
in
search
of
the
sheep,
but
the keepers
took
food
for themselves
and
gave
my
sheep
no
food;
\VS{9}For
this
reason,
O
you keepers
of
the flock,
give ear
to
the
word
of
the
Lord;
\VS{10}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
See
I
am
against
the keepers
of
the
flock,
and
I
will
make
search
and
see
what
they
have
done
with
my
sheep,
and
will
let
them
be keepers
of
my
sheep
no
longer;
and
the keepers
will
no
longer get
food
for themselves;
I
will
take
my
sheep
out
of
their
mouths
so
that
they
may
not
be
food
for
them.
\VS{11}For
this
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
Truly,
I,
even
I,
will go
searching
and looking
for
my
sheep.
\VS{12}As
the keeper goes
looking
for
his
flock
when
he
is
among
his wandering
sheep,
so
I
will
go
looking
for
my
sheep,
and
will
get
them safely
out
of
all
the
places
where
they
have
been sent wandering
in
the
day
of
clouds
and black night.
\VS{13}And
I
will
take
them
out
from
among
the
peoples,
and
get
them
together
from
the
countries,
and
will
take
them
into
their
land;
and
I
will
give
them food
on
the
mountains
of
Israel
by
the water-streams
and
wherever
men
are living
in
the
country.
\VS{14}I
will
give
them
good grass-land
for
their food,
and
their safe
place
will
be
the
mountains
of
the
high
place
of
Israel:
there
they
will
take
their
rest
in
a
good
place,
and
on fat grass-land
they
will
take
their food
on
the
mountains
of
Israel.
\VS{15}I
myself
will give food
to
my
flock,
and
I
will give
them
rest,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{16}I
will
go
in
search
of
that which
had
gone
wandering
from
the
way,
and
will
get
back
that which
had
been
sent
in flight,
and
will
put bands
on
that which
was
broken,
and
give
strength
to
that which
was ill:
but
the fat
and
the
strong
I
will
give
up
to
destruction;
I
will
give
them
for
their food
the punishment which
is theirs
by
right.
\VS{17}And
as
for
you,
O
my
flock,
says
the
Lord, truly,
I
will
be
judge
between
sheep
and
sheep,
the he-sheep
and
the he-goats.
\VS{18}Does
it seem
a
small
thing
to
you
to
have taken
your food
on
good grass-land
while
the
rest
of
your grass-land
is stamped
down
under
your
feet?
and
that
after
drinking
from
clear
waters
you
make
the
rest
of
the
waters dirty
with
your
feet?
\VS{19}And as
for
my
sheep,
their food is
the grass which
has been stamped
on
by
your
feet,
and
their
drink
the water which
has been made dirty
by
your
feet.
\VS{20}For
this
reason
the
Lord
has
said
to
them, Truly,
I,
even
I,
will
be
judge
between
the fat
sheep
and
the thin
sheep.
\VS{21}Because
you
have
been pushing
with
side
and leg, pushing
the diseased
with
your
horns
till
they
were sent
away
in
every direction;
\VS{22}I
will make
my
flock
safe,
and
they
will
no
longer
be
taken
away,
and
I
will
be
judge
between
sheep
and
sheep.
\VS{23}And
I
will put
over
them
one keeper,
and
he
will
give
them food,
even
my
servant
David;
he
will
give
them food
and
be
their keeper.
\VS{24}And
I
the
Lord
will
be
their
God
and
my
servant
David
their ruler;
I
the
Lord
have
said
it.
\VS{25}And
I
will
make
with
them
an
agreement
of
peace,
and
will put
an end
to
evil
beasts
through
all
the
land:
and
they
will
be
living
safely
in
the waste
land, sleeping
in
the
woods.
\VS{26}And
I
will
give
the
rain
at
the right
time,
and
I
will
make
the
shower
come
down
at
the right
time;
there
will
be
showers
of
blessing.
\VS{27}And
the
tree
of
the
field
will
give
its
fruit
and
the
earth
will
give
its
increase,
and
they
will
be safe
in
their
land;
and
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord,
when
I
have
had
their
yoke
broken
and
have
given
them salvation
from
the
hands
of
those
who
made
them
servants.
\VS{28}And
their goods
will
no
longer
be
taken
by
the
nations,
and
they
will
not
again
be
food
for
the
beasts
of
the
earth;
but
they
will
be
living
safely
and
no
one
will
be
a
cause
of
fear
to
them.
\VS{29}And
I
will
give
them planting-places
of peace,
and
they
will
no
longer
be wasted
from need
of food
or
put
to
shame
by
the
nations.
\VS{30}And
they
will
be
certain
that
I
the
Lord
their
God
am
with
them,
and
that
they,
the children
of
Israel,
are
my
people,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{31}And
you
are
my
sheep,
the
sheep
of
my grass-lands,
and
I
am
your
God,
says
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{35}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}Son
of
man,
let
your
face
be
turned
to
Mount
Seir,
and
be
a prophet
against
it,
\VS{3}And
say
to
it,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
See,
I
am
against
you,
O
Mount
Seir,
and
my
hand
will
be
stretched
out
against
you,
and
I
will
make
you
a
waste
and
a
cause
for wonder.
\VS{4}I
will
make
your
towns unpeopled
and
you
will
be
a
waste;
and
you
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{5}Because yours
has
been
a hate without
end,
and
you
have
given
up
the
children
of
Israel
to
the
power
of
the
sword
in
the
time
of
their trouble,
in
the
time
of
the
punishment
of
the
end:
\VS{6}For
this cause,
by
my
life,
says
the
Lord,
because
you
have
been sinning
through
blood,
blood
will come
after
you.
\VS{7}And
I
will
make
Mount
Seir
a
cause
for wonder
and
a
waste, cutting
off
from
it
all comings
and goings.
\VS{8}I
will make
his
mountains
full
of
those
who
have
been put
to death;
in
your
valleys
and
in
all
your water-streams
men
will
be
falling
by
the
sword.
\VS{9}I
will
make
you
waste
for
ever,
and
your
towns
will
be unpeopled:
and
you
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{10}Because
you
have
said,
The
two
nations
and
the
two
countries
are
to
be mine,
and
we
will
take
them
for
our heritage; though
the
Lord
was
there:
\VS{11}For
this cause,
by
my

says
the
Lord,
I
will
do
to
you
as
you
have
done
in
your
wrath
and
in
your
envy,
which
you
have
made clear
in
your
hate
for
them;

make clear
to
you
who
I
am
when
you
are
judged
by
me.
\VS{12}And
you
will
see
that
I
the

have
had
knowledge
of
all
the bitter
things
which
you
have

They

for

you
have
made
yourselves
great

with
your

your
words
against
me;
and
it
has come
to
my ears.

is
what
the

has
said:
Because

were
glad
over
my

when
it
was
a

so
will
I
do
to

\VS{13}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
Because
they
say
to
you,
You,
O land,
are
the destruction
of
men, causing loss
of
children
to
your
nation;
\VS{14}For
this
reason
you
will
no
longer take
the lives
of
men
and
will
never
again
be
the cause
of loss
of children
to
your
nation,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{15}And
I
will
not
let
the shaming
of
the
nations come
to
your ears,
and
no
longer
will
you
be
looked
down
on
by
the
peoples,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{16}Then
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{17}Son
of
man,
when
the
children
of
Israel
were
living
in
their
land,
they
made
it
unclean
by
their
way
and
their
acts:
their
way
before
me
was
as
when
a
woman
is
unclean
at
the
time
when
she
is kept separate.
\VS{18}So
I let
loose
my
wrath
on
them
because
of
those
whom
they
had violently put
to
death
in
the
land,
and
because
they
had
made
it
unclean
with
their images:
\VS{19}And
I sent
them
in flight
among
the
nations
and wandering
through
the
countries:
I
was
their
judge, rewarding
them
for
their
way
and
their
acts.
\VS{20}And
when
they
came
among
the
nations,
wherever
they
went,
they
made
my
holy
name unclean,
when
it
was
said
of
them,
These
are
the
people
of
the
Lord
who
have
gone
out
from
his
land.
\VS{21}But
I
had
pity
for
my
holy
name
which
the children
of
Israel
had
made unclean
wherever
they
went.
\VS{22}For
this cause
say
to
the children
of
Israel,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
I
am
doing
this,
not
because
of
you,
O children
of
Israel,
but
because
of
my
holy
name,
which
you
have
made unclean
among
the
nations
wherever
you
went.
\VS{23}And
I
will
make
holy
my
great
name
which
has
been
made unclean
among
the
nations,
which
you
have
made unclean
among
them;
and
it
will
be clear
to
the
nations
that
I
am
the
Lord,
says
the
Lord,
when
I
make
myself
holy
in
you
before
their
eyes.
\VS{24}For
I
will
take
you
out
from
among
the
nations,
and
get
you
together
from
all
the
countries,
and
take
you
into
your
land.
\VS{25}And
I
will put
clean
water
on
you
so
that
you
may
be
clean:
from
all
your
unclean ways
and
from
all
your images
I
will make
you
clean.
\VS{26}And
I
will
give
you
a
new
heart
and
put
a
new
spirit
in
you:
I
will
take
away
the
heart
of
stone
from
your
flesh,
and
give
you
a
heart
of
flesh.
\VS{27}And
I
will
put
my
spirit
in
you, causing
you
to
be guided
by
my
rules,
and
you
will
keep
my orders
and
do
them.
\VS{28}So
that
you
may
go
on
living
in
the
land
which
I
gave
to
your
fathers;
and
you
will
be
to
me
a
people,
and
I
will
be
to
you
a
God.
\VS{29}And
I
will
make
you free
from
all
your
unclean ways:
and
at
my voice
the
grain
will come
up
and
be
increased,
and
I
will
not
let
you
be short
of
food.
\VS{30}And
I
will
make
the
tree
give
more
fruit
and
the
field fuller
produce,
and
no
longer
will
you
be shamed
among
the
nations
for need
of food.
\VS{31}And
at
the memory
of
your
evil
ways
and
your wrongdoings,
you
will
have bitter
hate
for
yourselves
because
of
your evil-doings
and
your
disgusting
ways,
O children
of Israel.
\VS{32}Not
because
of
you
am
I
doing
it,
says
the
Lord;
let
it
be clear
to
you,
and
be
shamed
and
made low
because
of
your
ways,
O children
of
Israel.
\VS{33}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
In
the
day
when
I make
you
clean
from
all
your evil-doings
I
will let
the
towns
be peopled
and
there
will
be
building
on
the
waste
places.
\VS{34}And
the
land
which
was
waste
will
be farmed,
in
place
of
being
a
waste
in
the
eyes
of
everyone
who
went
by.
\VS{35}And
they
will
say, This
land which
was
waste
has
become
like
the
garden
of
Eden;
and
the
towns which
were unpeopled
and wasted
and pulled
down
are walled
and peopled.
\VS{36}Then
the
rest
of
the
nations
round
about
you
will
be
certain
that
I
the
Lord
am
the builder
of
the
places
which
were pulled
down
and
the planter
of
that
which
was
waste:
I
the
Lord
have
said
it,
and
I
will
do
it.
\VS{37}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
The children
of
Israel
will
again
make prayer
to
me
for
this,
that
I
may
do
it
for
them;
I
will
make
them
increased
with
men
like
a
flock.
\VS{38}Like
sheep
for
the
offerings,
like
the
sheep
of
Jerusalem
at
her
fixed
feasts,
so
the unpeopled
towns
will
be
made
full
of
men:
and
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{37}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
hand
of
the
Lord
had
been
on
me,
and
he
took
me
out
in
the
spirit
of
the
Lord
and
put
me
down
in
the
middle
of
the
valley;
and
it
was
full
of
bones;
\VS{2}And
he made
me
go past
them
round
about:
and
I
saw
that
there
was
a
very
great number
of
them
on
the
face
of
the wide
valley,
and
they
were
very
dry.
\VS{3}And
he
said
to
me,
Son
of
man,
is
it possible
for
these
bones
to come
to
life?
And
I
made
answer,
and
said,
It
is
for
you
to
say,
O
Lord.
\VS{4}And again
he
said
to
me,
Be
a
prophet
to
these
bones,
and
say
to
them,
O
you
dry
bones,
give ear
to
the
word
of
the
Lord.
\VS{5}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said
to
these
bones:
See,
I
will make
breath
come
into
you
so
that
you
may
come
to
life;
\VS{6}And
I
will
put
muscles
on
you
and
make
flesh
come
on
you,
and
put
skin
over
you,
and
breath
into
you,
so
that
you
may
have
life;
and
you
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{7}So
I
gave
the word
as
I
was
ordered:
and
at
my words
there
was
a
shaking
of
the earth,
and
the
bones
came
together,
bone
to
bone.
\VS{8}And
looking
I
saw
that
there
were
muscles
on
them
and
flesh
came
up,
and
they
were
covered
with
skin:
but
there
was
no
breath
in
them.
\VS{9}And
he
said
to
me,
Be
a
prophet
to
the
wind,
be
a
prophet,
son
of
man,
and
say
to
the
wind,
The
Lord
has
said:
Come
from
the
four
winds,
O
wind,
breathing
on
these dead
so
that
they
may
come
to
life.
\VS{10}And
I
gave
the word
at
his
orders,
and
breath
came
into
them,
and
they
came
to
life
and got
up
on
their
feet,
a
very
great
army.
\VS{11}Then
he
said
to
me,
Son
of
man,
these
bones
are
all
the
children
of
Israel:
and
see,
they
are
saying,
Our
bones
have
become
dry
our
hope
is gone,
we
are
cut
off
completely.
\VS{12}For
this cause
be
a
prophet
to
them,
and
say,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
See,
I
am opening
the resting-places
of
your dead,
and
I
will make
you
come
up
out
of
your resting-places,
O
my
people;
and
I
will
take
you
into
the
land
of
Israel.
\VS{13}And
you
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord
by
my opening
the resting-places
of
your dead
and making
you
come
up
out
of
your resting-places,
O
my
people.
\VS{14}And
I
will
put
my
spirit
in
you,
so
that
you
may come
to
life,
and
I
will
give
you
a rest
in
your
land:
and
you
will
be
certain
that
I
the
Lord
have
said
it
and
have
done
it,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{15}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{16}And
you,
son
of
man,
take
one
stick,
writing
on
it,
For
Judah
and
for
the
children
of
Israel
who
are
in
his company:
then
take
another
stick,
writing
on
it,
For
Joseph,
the
stick
of
Ephraim,
and
all
the
children
of
Israel
who
are
in
his company:
\VS{17}Then, joining
them
one
to
another,
make
them
one
stick,
so
that
they
may
be
one
in
your
hand.
\VS{18}And
when
the
children
of
your
people
say
to
you,
Will
you
not
make clear
to
us
what
these
things
have
to
do
with
us?
\VS{19}Then
say
to
them,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
See,
I
am
taking
the
stick
of
Joseph,
which
is
in
the
hand
of
Ephraim,
and
the
tribes
of
Israel
who
are
in
his company;
and
I
will
put
it
on
the
stick
of
Judah
and
make
them
one
stick,
and
they
will
be
one
in
my
hand.
\VS{20}And
the
sticks
with
your
writing
on
them
will
be
in
your
hand
before
their
eyes.
\VS{21}And
say
to
them,
These
are
the words
of
the
Lord:
See,
I
am
taking
the
children
of
Israel
from
among
the
nations
where
they
have
gone,
and
will
get
them
together
on
every
side,
and
take
them
into
their
land:
\VS{22}And
I
will
make
them
one
nation
in
the
land,
on
the
mountains
of
Israel;
and
one
king
will
be
king
over
them
all:
and
they
will
no
longer
be
two
nations,
and
will
no
longer
be parted
into
two
kingdoms:
\VS{23}And
they
will
no
longer
make
themselves
unclean
with
their images
or
with
their hated
things
or
with
any
of
their
sins:
but
I
will
give
them
salvation
from
all
their turning
away
in
which
they
have
done evil,
and
will
make
them
clean;
and
they
will
be
to
me
a
people,
and
I
will
be
to
them
a
God.
\VS{24}And
my
servant
David
will
be
king
over
them;
and
they
will
all
have
one
keeper:
and
they
will
be guided
by
my orders
and
will
keep
my
rules
and
do
them.
\VS{25}And
they
will
be
living
in
the
land
which
I
gave
to
Jacob,
my
servant,
in
which
your
fathers
were
living;
and
they
will go
on
living
there,
they
and
their
children
and
their children's
children,
for
ever:
and
David,
my
servant,
will
be
their
ruler
for
ever.
\VS{26}And
I
will
make
an
agreement
of
peace
with
them:
it
will
be
an
eternal
agreement
with
them:
and
I
will
have mercy
on
them
and
make
their numbers great,
and
will
put
my
holy
place
among
them
for
ever.
\VS{27}And
my House
will
be
over
them;
and
I
will
be
to
them
a
God,
and
they
will
be
to
me
a
people.
\VS{28}And
the
nations
will
be
certain
that
I
who
make
Israel
holy
am
the
Lord,
when
my
holy
place
is
among
them
for
ever.

\par }\Chap{38}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}Son
of
man,
let
your
face
be
turned
against
Gog,
of
the
land
of
Magog,
the ruler
of Rosh,
Meshech,
and

and
be

This

has
said:
See,
I
am
against
you,
O
Gog, ruler
of Rosh,
Meshech,
and
Tubal:
\VS{4}And
turning
you round,
I
will
put
hooks
in
your mouth
and
make
you
come
out
with
all
your
army,
horses
and
horsemen,
all
of
them
in
full war-dress,
a
great force
with breastplate
and body-cover,

armed
with
swords:
\VS{5}Persia,
Cush,
and
Put
with

all
of

with body-cover
and metal head-dress:

people
of
Togarmah
in
the inmost
parts

the
north,
with
all
his forces:

great number
of
peoples

you.
\VS{7}Be
ready,
make
yourself
ready,
you
and
all
the forces
who
are
with
you,
and
be
ready
for
my orders.
\VS{8}After
a
long
time
you
will
get
your orders:
in
the
last
years
you
will
come
into
the
land
which
has
been given
back
from
the
sword,
which
has
been
got
together
out
of
a
great
number
of
peoples,
on
the
mountains
of
Israel
which
have
ever
been
a
waste:
but
it
has
been
taken
out
from
the
peoples
and
they
will
be
living,
all
of
them, without fear
of danger.
\VS{9}And
you
will
go
up,

will
come
like
a storm,
you
will
be
like
a
cloud
covering
the
land,
you
and
all
your forces,
and
a
great number
of
peoples
with
you.
\VS{10}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
In
that
day
it
will
come
about
that
things
will
come
into
your
mind,
and
you
will
have
thoughts
of
an
evil
design:
\VS{11}And
you
will
say,
I
will
go
up
to
the
land
of small
unwalled towns;
I
will
go
to
those
who
are
quiet,
living,
all
of
them,
without fear
of danger,
without
walls
or locks
or
doors:
\VS{12}To
take
their
property
by
force
and
go
off
with
their
goods;
turning
your
hand
against
the
waste
places
which
now
are peopled,
and
against
the
people
who
have
been got
together
out
of
the
nations,
who
have got
cattle
and
goods
for
themselves,
who
are
living
in
the middle
of
the
earth.
\VS{13}Sheba,
and
Dedan
and
her
traders,
Tarshish
with
all
her
traders,
will
say
to
you,
Have
you

have
you
got

together
to
take
away
our
property
by force?
to
take
away
silver
and
gold,
cattle
and
goods,
to
go
off
with
great wealth?
\VS{14}For
this cause,
son
of
man,
be
a
prophet
and
say
to
Gog,
These
are
the words
of
the
Lord:
In
that
day,
when
my
people
Israel
are
living
without fear
of danger,
will
you
not
be moved
against
them?
\VS{15}And
you
will
come
from
your
place
in
the inmost
parts
of
the
north,
you
and
a
great number
of
peoples
with
you,
all
of
them
on
horseback,
a
great force
and
a
strong
army:
\VS{16}And
you
will
come
up
against
my
people
Israel,
like
a
cloud
covering
the
land;
and
it
will
come
about,
in
the
last
days,
that
I
will
make
you
come
against
my
land,
so
that
the
nations
may
have
knowledge
of
me
when
I
make
myself
holy
in
you, O
Gog,
before
their
eyes.
\VS{17}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
You
are
he
of
whom
I
gave
them
word
in earlier
times
by
my
servants,
the
prophets
of
Israel,
who
in
those
days
went
on
saying,
year
after
year,
that
I
would
make
you
come
up
against
them.
\VS{18}And
it
will
come
about
in
that
day,
when
Gog
comes
up
against
the
land
of
Israel,
says
the
Lord,
that
my
wrath
will
come
up,
and
my passion
and
my bitter feeling.
\VS{19}For
in
the
fire
of
my
wrath
I
have
said,
Truly,
in
that
day
there
will
be
a
great
shaking
in
the
land
of
Israel;
\VS{20}So
that
the
fish
of
the
sea
and
the
birds
of
heaven
and
the
beasts
of
the
field
and
everything
moving
on
the
earth,
and
all
the
men
who
are
on
the
face
of
the
earth,
will
be shaking
before
me,
and
the
mountains
will
be overturned
and
the high
places
will
come
down,
and
every
wall
will
come
falling
down
to
the
earth.
\VS{21}And
I
will send
to
all
my
mountains
for
a
sword
against
him,
says
the
Lord:
every man's
sword
will
be
against
his
brother.
\VS{22}And
I
will take
up
my cause
against
him
with disease
and
with
blood;
and
I
will
send
down
on
him
and
on
his forces
and
on
the
peoples
who
are
with
him,
an
overflowing
shower
and
great ice-drops,
fire,
and
burning.
\VS{23}And
I
will
make
my name
great
and
make
myself
holy,
and
I
will
make
myself clear
to
a number
of
nations;
and
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{39}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
you,
son
of
man,
be
a
prophet
against
Gog,
and
say, These
are
the words
of
the
Lord:
See,
I
am
against
you,
O
Gog, ruler
of Rosh,
Meshech,
and
Tubal:
\VS{2}And
turning
you round,
I
will
be
your guide,
and
make
you
come
up
from
the inmost
parts
of
the
north;
I
will
make
you
come
on
to
the
mountains
of
Israel:
\VS{3}And
with
a blow
I
will send
your
bow
out
of
your
left
hand
and
your
arrows
falling
from
your
right
hand.
\VS{4}On
the
mountains
of
Israel
you
will
come
down,
you
and
all
your forces
and
the
peoples
who
are
with
you:
I
will
give
you
to cruel
birds
of
every sort
and
to
the
beasts
of
the
field
to
be
their
food.
\VS{5}You
will
come
down
in
the
open
field:
for
I
have
said
it,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{6}And
I
will
send
a
fire
on
Magog,
and
on
those
who
are
living
in
the sea-lands without fear:
and
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord.
\VS{7}And
I
will
make clear
my
holy
name
among
my
people
Israel;
I
will
no
longer
let
my
holy
name
be
made unclean:
and
the
nations
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord,
the
Holy
One
in
Israel.
\VS{8}See,
it
is
coming
and
it
will
be
done,
says
the
Lord;
this
is
the
day
of
which
I
have given
word.
\VS{9}And those
who
are
living
in
the
towns
of
Israel
will
go
out
and
make
fires
of
the instruments
of
war,
burning
the body-covers
and
the breastplates,
the
bows
and
the
arrows
and
the
sticks
and
the
spears,
and
for
seven
years
they
will
make
fires
of
them:
\VS{10}And
they
will
take
no
wood
out
of
the
field
or
have
any
cut
down
in
the
woods;
for
they
will
make
their
fires
of
the instruments
of war:
and
they
will
take
by force
the property
of
those
who
took
their property,
and go
off
with
the goods
of
those
who
took
their goods,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{11}And
it
will
come
about
in
those
days,
that
I
will
give
to
Gog
a last resting-place
there
in
Israel,
in
the
valley
of Abarim
on
the
east
of
the
sea:
and
those
who
go
through
will
be stopped:
and
there
Gog
and
all
his
people
will
be
put
to
rest,
and
the
place
will
be
named,
The
valley
of
Hamon-gog.
\VS{12}And
the children
of
Israel
will
be
seven
months putting
them
in
the
earth,
so
as
to make
the
land
clean.
\VS{13}And
all
the
people
of
the
land
will put
them
in
the
earth;
and
it
will
be
to
their honour
in
the
day
when
I
let
my
glory
be seen,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{14}And
they
will put
on
one side
men
to do no
other work
but
to
go
through
the
land
and put
in
the
earth
the
rest
of
those
who
are still
on
the
face
of
the
land,
to
make
it
clean:
after
seven
months
are ended
they
are
to
make
a
search.
\VS{15}And
while
they
go
through
the
land,
if
anyone
sees
a man's
bone,
he
is
to put
up
a sign
by
the
place
till
those
who
are doing
the work
have put
it
in
the
earth
in
the
valley
of
Hamon-gog.
\VS{16}And there
they
will put
all
the
army
of Gog
in
the
earth.
So
they
will
make
the
land
clean.
\VS{17}And
you,
son
of
man,
this
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
Say
to
the
birds
of
every sort
and
to
all
the
beasts
of
the
field,
Get
together
and
come;
come
together
on
every
side
to
the
offering
which
I
am
putting
to
death
for
you,
a
great
offering
on
the
mountains
of
Israel,
so
that
you
may
have
flesh
for
your
food
and
blood
for
your
drink.
\VS{18}The
flesh
of
the
men
of war
will
be
your
food,
and
your
drink
the
blood
of
the
princes
of
the
earth,
of sheep
and
lambs,
of he-goats,
of
oxen,
all
of
them
fat beasts
of
Bashan.
\VS{19}You
will go
on
feasting
on
the
fat till
you
are full,
and
drinking
the
blood till
you
are overcome
with
it,
of
my
offering
which
I
have put
to
death
for
you.
\VS{20}At
my
table
you
will
have food
in
full measure,
horses
and war-carriages,
great
men
and
all
the
men
of
war,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{21}And
I
will
put
my
glory among
the
nations,
and
all
the
nations
will
see
my punishments
which
I
have
put
into effect,
and
my
hand
which
I
have
put
on
them.
\VS{22}So
the children
of
Israel
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord
their
God,
from
that
day
and
for
the future.
\VS{23}And
it
will
be
clear
to
the
nations
that
the children
of
Israel
were
taken
away prisoners
for
their evil-doing;
because
they
did
wrong
against
me,
and
my
face
was
covered
from
them:
so
I
gave
them
up
into
the
hands
of
their attackers,
and
they
all
came
to
their end
by
the
sword.
\VS{24}In
the measure
of
their
unclean ways
and
their sins,
so
I
did
to
them;
and
I
kept
my
face covered
from
them.
\VS{25}For
this
cause
the
Lord
has
said,
Now
I
will
let
the fate
of
Jacob
be changed,
and
I
will
have
mercy
on
all
the children
of
Israel,
and
will
take care
of
the honour
of
my
holy
name.
\VS{26}And
they
will
be conscious
of
their
shame
and
of
all
the wrong
which
they
have
done
against
me,
when
they
are
living
in
their
land
with
no sense
of danger
and
with
no
one
to
be
a cause
of
fear
to
them;
\VS{27}When
I
have taken
them
back
from
among
the
peoples
and got
them
together
out
of
the
lands
of
their haters,
and
have
made
myself
holy
in
them
before
the
eyes
of
a
great number
of
nations.
\VS{28}And
they
will
be
certain
that
I
am
the
Lord
their
God,
because
I
sent
them
away
as prisoners
among
the
nations,
and
have
taken
them
together
back
to
their
land;
and
I
have
not
let
one
of
them
be
there
any
longer.
\VS{29}And
my
face
will
no
longer
be covered
from
them:
for
I
have sent
the out-flowing
of
my
spirit
on
the children
of
Israel,
says
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{40}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In
the twenty-fifth
year
after
we
had
been
taken
away prisoners,
in
the
first
month
of
the
year,
on
the
tenth
day
of
the
month,
in
the fourteenth
year
after
the
town
was
taken,
on
the
very
same
day,
the
hand
of
the
Lord
was
on
me,
and
he
took
me
there.
\VS{2}In
the
visions
of
God
he
took
me
into
the
land
of
Israel,
and
put
me
down
on
a
very
high
mountain,
on
which
there
was,
as
it seemed,
a building
like
a
town
opposite
me.
\VS{3}He
took
me
there,
and
I
saw
a
man,
looking
like
brass,
with
a
linen
cord
in
his
hand
and
a
measuring
rod:
and
he
was
stationed
in
the doorway.
\VS{4}And
the
man
said
to
me,
Son
of
man,
see
with
your
eyes
and
give
hearing
with
your
ears,
and
take
to
heart
everything
I
am
going
to
let
you
see;
for
in
order
that
I
might
let
you
see
them,
you
have
come
here:
and
give
an
account
of
all
you
see
to
the
children
of
Israel.
\VS{5}And
there
was
a
wall
on
the
outside
of
the
house
all
round,
and
in
the man's
hand
there
was
a
measuring
rod
six
cubits
long
by
a
cubit
and
a hand's
measure:
so
he
took
the
measure
of
the
building
from
side
to
side,
one
rod;
and
from base
to top,
one
rod.
\VS{6}Then
he
came
to
the doorway looking
to
the
east,
and
went
up
by
its
steps;
and
he
took
the
measure
of
the doorstep,
one
rod
wide.
\VS{7}And
the watchmen's
rooms
were
one
rod
long
and
one
rod
wide;
and
the space
between
the
rooms
was
five
cubits;
the doorstep
of
the doorway,
by
the covered way
of
the doorway
inside,
was
one
rod.
\VS{8}And
he
took
the
measure
of
the covered way
of
the doorway
inside,
\VS{9}Eight
cubits;
and
its uprights,
two
cubits;
the covered way
of
the doorway
was
inside.
\VS{10}And
the rooms
of
the doorway
on
the
east
were
three
on this
side
and
three
on
that;
all
three
were
of
the
same
size;
and
the uprights
on this
side
and
on
that
were
of
the
same
size.
\VS{11}And
he
took
the
measure
of
the
opening
of
the
doorway,
ten
cubits
wide;
and
the way down
the
doorway
was
thirteen
cubits;
\VS{12}And
the space
in
front
of
the rooms,
a
cubit
on this
side
and
a
cubit
on that
side;
and
the rooms
six
cubits
on this
side
and
six
cubits
on that.
\VS{13}And
he
took
the
measure
of
the
doorway
from
the back
of
one
room
to
the back
of
the
other,
twenty-five
cubits across,
from
door
to
door.
\VS{14}And
he
took
the
measure
of
the covered way, twenty
cubits;
and opening
from
the covered way
of
the doorway
was
the open square
round
about.
\VS{15}And
from
before
the opening
of
the doorway
to
before
the
inner covered
way
of
the doorway
was
fifty
cubits.
\VS{16}And
the
rooms
and
their uprights
had sloping
windows
inside
the doorway
all
round,
and
in
the
same
way
the covered
way
had
windows
all
round
on
the
inside:
and
on
every upright there
were palm-trees.
\VS{17}Then
he
took
me
into
the
outer square,
and
there
were
rooms
and
a stone floor
made
for
the open square
all
round:
there
were
thirty
rooms
on
the stone floor.
\VS{18}And
the stone floor
was
by
the
side
of
the doorways,
and
was
as wide
as
the doorways
were
long, even
the
lower floor.
\VS{19}Then
he took
the
measure
of
the square
across,
from
before
the
lower doorway
inside
to
before
the
inner doorway
outside,
one
hundred
cubits.
And
he took
me
in
the
direction
of
the
north,
\VS{20}And
there
was
a doorway
to
the
outer square, looking
to
the
north;
and
he took
the
measure
of
it
to
see
how
wide
and
how
long
it
was.
\VS{21}And
it
had
three rooms
on this
side
of
it
and
three
on
that;
its uprights
and
its covered ways
were
the same
size
as
those
of
the
first doorway:
it
was
fifty
cubits
long
and
twenty-five
cubits
wide.
\VS{22}And
its
windows,
and
the
windows
of
its covered
ways,
and
its palm-trees,
were
the same
as
those
of
the doorway looking
to
the
east;
and
there
were
seven
steps
up
to
it;
and
the covered
way
went
inside.
\VS{23}And there
was
a doorway
to
the
inner square
opposite
the doorway
on
the
north,
like
the doorway
on
the
east;
and
he took
the
measure
from doorway
to doorway,
a
hundred
cubits.
\VS{24}And
he took me
to
the
south,
and
I
saw
a doorway looking
to
the
south:
and
he took
the
measure
of
its rooms
and
its uprights
and
its covered
ways
by
these measures.
\VS{25}And there
were
windows
in
it
and
in
the covered way
all
round,
like
the
other
windows:
it
was
fifty
cubits
long
and
twenty-five
cubits
wide.
\VS{26}And there
were
seven
steps
up
to
it,
and
its covered
way
went
inside:
and
it
had palm-trees,
one
on this
side
and
one
on
that,
on
its uprights.
\VS{27}And there
was
a doorway
to
the
inner square looking
to
the
south:
he took
the
measure
from doorway
to doorway
to
the
south,
a
hundred
cubits.
\VS{28}Then
he
took
me
to
the
inner square
by
the
south doorway:
and
he
took
the
measure
of
the
south doorway
by
these measures;
\VS{29}And
the
rooms
in
it
and
the uprights
and
the covered ways,
by
these measures:
\VS{30}And there
were windows
in
it
and
in
the covered way
all
round:
it
was fifty
cubits
long
and
twenty-five
cubits
wide.
\VS{31}The covered way
was
on
the side nearest
the
outer square;
and there
were palm-trees
on
the uprights:
and there
were
eight
steps going
up
to it.
\VS{32}And
he
took
me
into
the
inner square
facing
the
east:
and
he
took
the
measure
of
the doorway
by
these measures;
\VS{33}And
of
the
rooms
in
it
and
its uprights
and
its covered ways,
by
these measures:
and
there
were
windows
in
it
and
in
the covered way
round
about:
it
was
fifty
cubits
long
and
twenty-five
cubits
wide.
\VS{34}And
the covered way
was
on
the
side nearest
the
outer square; there
were palm-trees
on
the uprights,
on this
side
and
on
that:
and there
were
eight
steps going
up
to it.
\VS{35}And
he
took
me
to
the
north doorway:
and
he
took
the
measure
of
it
by
these measures;
\VS{36}Its
rooms,
its uprights,
and
its covered way
had
the same measures,
and
its covered way
had
windows
all
round:
it
was
fifty
cubits
long
and
twenty-five
cubits
wide.
\VS{37}Its uprights
were
on
the
side nearest
to
the
outer square; there
were palm-trees
on
the uprights,
on this
side
and
on
that:
and there
were
eight
steps going
up
to it.
\VS{38}And
there
was
a
room
with
a
door
in
the covered way
of
the
doorway,
where
the burned offering
was
washed.
\VS{39}And
in
the covered way
of
the doorway there
were
two
tables
on this
side
and
two
tables
on
that
side,
on which
the burned
offering
and
the sin-offering
and
the
offering
for error
were put
to death:
\VS{40}On
the
outer
side,
to
the
north,
as
one
goes
up
to
the
opening
of
the
doorway,
were
two
tables.
\VS{41}There
were
four
tables
on
one
side
and
four
tables
on
the
other,
by
the
side
of
the doorway;
eight
tables,
on which
they put
to death
the beasts
for
the offerings.
\VS{42}And
there
were
four
tables
for
the burned
offering,
made
of
cut
stone,
one
and
a
half
cubits
long,
one
and
a
half
cubits
wide
and
a
cubit
high,
where
the
instruments
were
placed
which
were
used
for putting
to
death
the burned
offering
and
the beasts
for
the
offerings.
\VS{43}And they
had edges
all
round
as wide
as
a man's hand:
and
on
the
tables
was
the
flesh
of
the offerings.
\VS{44}And
he took
me
into
the
inner square,
and
there
were two
rooms
in
the
inner square,
one
at
the
side
of
the
north doorway,
facing
south;
and
one
at
the
side
of
the
south doorway,
facing
north.
\VS{45}And
he
said
to
me,
This
room,
facing
south,
is
for
the
priests
who
have
the
care
of
the
house.
\VS{46}And
the
room
facing
north
is
for
the
priests
who
have
the
care
of
the
altar:
these
are
the
sons
of
Zadok,
who,
from
among
the
sons
of
Levi,
come
near
to
the
Lord
to
do
the work
of
his house.
\VS{47}And
he
took
the
measure
of
the
open
square,
a
hundred
cubits
long
and
a
hundred
cubits
wide, being
square;
and
the
altar
was
in
front
of
the
house.
\VS{48}Then
he
took
me
to
the covered way
before
the
house,
and
took
the
measure
of
its uprights,
five
cubits
on
one
side
and
five
cubits
on
the
other:
and
the doorway
was fourteen
cubits
wide;
and
the side-walls
of
the doorway
were
three
cubits
on
one
side
and
three
cubits
on
the
other.
\VS{49}The covered way
was
twenty
cubits
long
and
twelve
cubits
wide,
and
they
went
up
to
it
by ten
steps;
and
there
were
pillars
by
the uprights,
one
on
one
side
and
one
on
the
other.

\par }\Chap{41}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
he
took
me
to
the
Temple,
and
took
the
measure
of
the uprights,
six
cubits
wide
on
one
side
and
six
cubits
wide
on
the

the door-opening
was
ten

the
side walls
of
the door-opening were
five
cubits
on
one
side
and
five
cubits
on
the
other:
and
it
was
forty
cubits
long
and
twenty
cubits
wide.
\VS{3}And
he
went
inside
and
took
the
measure
of
the uprights
of
the door-opening,
two
cubits:
and
the door-opening,
six
cubits;
and
the side-walls
of
the door-opening
were
seven
cubits
on
one side
and
seven
cubits
on
the
other.
\VS{4}And
by
his
measure
it
was
twenty
cubits
long
and
twenty
cubits
wide
in
front
of
the
Temple:
and
he
said
to
me,
This
is
the
most
holy
place.
\VS{5}Then
he took
the
measure
of
the
wall
of
the
house,
which
was
six
cubits;
and
of
the side-rooms
round
the
house,
which
were
four
cubits
wide.
\VS{6}And
the side-rooms,
room
over
room,
were
three
times
thirty;
there
were inlets
in
the
wall
of
the
house
for
the side-rooms
round
about,
for supports
in
the
wall
of
the
house.
\VS{7}The side-rooms became
wider
as
they
went
higher
up
the
house,
by
the amount
of
the space
let
into
the wall
up
round
about
the
house,
because
of
the inlets
in
the
house;
and
one
went
up
from
the
lowest
floor
by steps
to
the
middle,
and
from
the
middle
to
the
upper
floor.
\VS{8}And
I
saw
that
the
house had
a stone floor
all
round;
the bases
of
the side-rooms
were
a
full
rod
of
six great
cubits
high.
\VS{9}The
wall supporting
the side-rooms
on
the
outside
was
five
cubits
thick:
and
there
was
a free space
of
five
cubits between
the side-rooms
of
the
house.
\VS{10}And
between
the
rooms
was
a space
twenty
cubits
wide
all
round
the
house.
\VS{11}And
the free
space
had
doors
opening
from
the side-rooms,
one
door
on
the
north
and
one
door
on
the
south:
and
the free
space
was
five
cubits
wide
all
round.
\VS{12}And
the
building
which
was
in
front
of
the
separate
place
at
the
side
to
the
west
was
seventy
cubits
wide;
the
wall
of
the
building
was
five
cubits
thick
all
round
and
ninety
cubits
long.
\VS{13}And
he
took
the
measure
of
the
house;
it
was
a
hundred
cubits
long;
and
the
separate
place
and
the
building
with
its
walls
was
a
hundred
cubits
long;
\VS{14}And
the
east
front
of
the
house
and
of
the
separate
place
was
a
hundred
cubits
wide.
\VS{15}And
he took
the
measure
of
the
building
in
front
of
the
separate place
which
was
at
the
back
of
it,
and
the pillared walks
on
one
side
and
on
the
other
side;
they
were
a
hundred
cubits
long;
and
the
Temple
and
the
inner
part
and
its
outer covered
way
were covered
in;
\VS{16}And
the sloping
windows
and
the
covered ways
round
all
three
of
them
were
of shakiph-wood
all
round
from
the level
of
the
earth
up
to
the
windows;
\VS{17}And
there
was
a roof
over
the
doorway
and
as
far
as
the
inner
house,
and
to
the
outside
and
on
the
wall
all
round,
inside
and
outside.
\VS{18}And
it
had pictured forms
of winged beings
and palm-trees;
a palm-tree
between
two winged ones,
and every winged
one
had
two
faces;
\VS{19}So
that
there
was
the
face
of
a
man
turned
to
the palm-tree
on
one
side,
and
the
face
of
a
young
lion
on
the
other
side:
so
it
was
made
all
round
the
house.
\VS{20}From
earth level
up
to
the windows
there
were winged ones
and palm-trees pictured
on
the
wall.
\VS{21}...
\VS{22}The
altar
was
made
of
wood,
and
was
three
cubits
high
and
two
cubits
long;
it
had angles,
and
its
base
and
sides
were
of
wood;
and
he
said
to
me,
This
is
the
table
which
is
before
the
Lord.
\VS{23}The
Temple
had
two
doors.
\VS{24}And
the holy place
had
two
doors,
and
the
doors
had
two turning
leaves,
two
for
one
and
two
for
the
other.
\VS{25}And
on
them
were pictured winged ones
and palm-trees,
as
on
the
walls;
and
a ...
of
wood
was
on
the
front
of
the covered
way
outside.
\VS{26}And there
were sloping
windows
and palm-trees
on
one
side
and
on
the
other,
on
the
sides
of
the covered way:
and
the side-rooms
of
the
house
and
the ...

\par }\Chap{42}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
he
took
me
out
into
the inner square
in
the
direction
of
the
north:
and
he
took
me
into
the
rooms
which
were
opposite
the
separate
place
and
opposite
the
building
to
the
north.
\VS{2}On
the
north
side
it
was
a
hundred
cubits
long
and
fifty
cubits
wide,
\VS{3}Opposite
the space
of
twenty cubits
which
was
part
of
the
inner square,
and
opposite
the
stone floor
of
the
outer square.
There
were covered ways
facing
one another
on
the
third floor.
\VS{4}And
in
front
of
the
rooms
was
a
walk,
ten
cubits
wide
and
a hundred
cubits
long;
and
their
doors
were
facing
north.
\VS{5}And
the higher
rooms
were shorter:
for
the covered ways
took
up
more space
from
these
than
from
the
lower
and
middle
rooms.
\VS{6}For
they
were
on
three floors,
and
they
had
no
pillars
like
the
pillars
of
the outer square;
so
the highest
was narrower
than
the
lowest
and
middle floors
from
the
earth level.
\VS{7}And
the
wall
which
went
outside
by
the
side
of
the
rooms,
in
the
direction
of
the
outer square
in
front
of
the
rooms,
was
fifty
cubits
long.
\VS{8}For
the
rooms
in
the
outer square
were
fifty
cubits
long:
and
in
front
of
the
Temple
was
a space
of
a
hundred
cubits.
\VS{9}And
under
these
rooms
was
the way
in
from
the
east
side,
as
one
goes
into
them
from
the
outer square
at
the head
of
the
outer wall.
\VS{10}(And
he took
me)
to
the south,
and
in
front
of
the
separate place
and
in
front
of
the
building there
were
rooms.
\VS{11}And
there
was
a
walk
in
front
of
them
like
that
by
the
rooms
on
the
north;
they
were equally
long
and
wide;
and
the
ways
out
of
them
were
the
same
in design
and
had
the
same sort
of
doors.
\VS{12}And
under
the
rooms
on
the
south
was
a
door
at
the
head
of
the
outer
wall
in
the
direction
of
the
east
as
one
goes
in.
\VS{13}And
he
said
to
me,
The
north
rooms
and
the
south
rooms
in
front
of
the
separate
place
are
the
holy
rooms,
where
the
priests
who come
near
the
Lord take
the
most
holy
things
for
their
food:
there
the
most
holy
things
are
placed,
with
the
meal
offering
and
the sin-offering
and
the
offering
for error;
for
the
place
is
holy.
\VS{14}When
the
priests
go
in,
they
may
not
go
out
of
the
holy
place
into
the
outer square,
and
there
they
are
to
put
the
robes
in
which
they
do
the work
of
the Lord's house,
for
they
are
holy:
and
they
have
to
put
on
other
clothing
before
they
come
near
that
which
has
to
do
with
the
people.
\VS{15}And
when
he
had
come
to
the
end
of
measuring
the
inner
house,
he
took
me
out
to
the doorway looking
to
the
east,
and
took
its
measure
all
round.
\VS{16}He went
round
and took
the
measure
of
it
on
the
east
side
with
the
measuring
rod,
five hundred,
measured
with
the
rod
all
round.
\VS{17}And
he went
round
and took
the
measure
of
it
on
the
north
side
with
the
measuring
rod,
five
hundred,
measured
with
the
rod
all
round.
\VS{18}And
he went round
and
took
the
measure
of
it
on
the
south
side
with
the
measuring
rod,
five
hundred,
measured
with
the
rod all round.
\VS{19}And
he
went
round
and took
the
measure
of
it
on
the
west
side
with
the
measuring
rod,
five
hundred,
measured
with
the
rod
all
round.
\VS{20}He took
its
measure
on
the
four
sides:
and
it had
a
wall
all
round,
five
hundred
long
and
five
hundred
wide, separating what
was
holy
from what
was
common.

\par }\Chap{43}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
he took
me
to
the doorway looking
to
the
east:
\VS{2}And
there
was
the
glory
of
the
God
of
Israel
coming
from
the
way
of
the
east:
and
his
voice
was
like
the
sound
of
great
waters,
and
the
earth
was shining
with
his
glory.
\VS{3}And
the
vision
which
I
saw
was
like
the
vision
I
had
seen
when
he
came
for
the
destruction
of
the
town:
and
like
the
vision
which
I
saw
by
the
river
Chebar;
and
I
went
down
on
my
face.
\VS{4}And
the
glory
of
the
Lord
came
into
the
house
by
the
way
of
the doorway looking
to
the
east.
\VS{5}And
the
spirit, lifting
me
up,
took
me
into
the
inner square;
and
I
saw
that
the
house
was
full
of
the
glory
of
the
Lord.
\VS{6}And
the voice
of
one
talking
to
me
came
to
my ears
from
inside
the
house;
and
the
man
was
by
my
side.
\VS{7}And
he
said
to
me,
Son
of
man,
this
is
the
place
where
the
seat
of
my
power
is
and
the resting-place
of
my
feet,
where
I
will
be
among
the
children
of
Israel
for
ever:
and
no
longer
will
the
people
of
Israel
make
my
holy
name
unclean,
they
or
their
kings,
by
their
loose ways
and
by
the
dead
bodies
of
their
kings;
\VS{8}By
putting
their doorstep
by
my doorstep,
and
the pillar
of
their
door
by
the pillar
of
my
door,
with only
a
wall
between
me
and
them;
and
they
have
made
my
holy
name
unclean
by
the
disgusting
things
which
they
have
done:
so
in
my
wrath
I
sent destruction
on
them.
\VS{9}Now
let
them
put
their loose ways
and
the
dead
bodies
of
their
kings
far
from
me,
and
I
will
be
among
them
for
ever.
\VS{10}You,
son
of
man,
give
the
children
of
Israel an account
of
this
house,
so
that
they
may
be shamed
because
of
their evil-doing:
and
let
them see
the vision
of
it
and
its image.
\VS{11}And
they
will
be shamed
by
what
they
have
done;
so
give
them
the
knowledge
of
the form
of
the
house
and
its structure,
and
the ways
out
of
it
and
into
it,
and
all
its
laws
and
its
rules,
writing
it
down
for
them:
so
that
they
may
keep
all
its
laws
and
do
them.
\VS{12}This
is
the
law
of
the
house:
On
the
top
of
the
mountain
all
the space
round
it
on
every
side
will
be
most
holy.
See,
this
is
the
law
of
the
house.
\VS{13}And
these
are
the measures
of
the
altar
in
cubits: (the
cubit being
a
cubit
and
a hand's
measure;)
its hollow
base
is
a
cubit
high
and
a
cubit
wide,
and
it
has
an overhanging
edge
as
wide
as
a hand-stretch
all
round
it:
\VS{14}And
from
the
base
on
the
earth level
to
the
lower shelf,
the altar
is
two
cubits
high
and
a
cubit
wide;
and
from
the smaller shelf
to
the
greater shelf
it
is
four
cubits
high
and
a
cubit
wide.
\VS{15}And
the fireplace
is
four
cubits
high:
and coming
up
from
the fireplace
are
the
horns, a
cubit
high.
\VS{16}And
the fireplace
is
twelve cubits
long
and
twelve cubits
wide,
square
on its
four
sides.
\VS{17}And
the shelf
is
fourteen
cubits
long
and
fourteen
cubits
wide,
on
its
four
sides;
the
edge
round
it
is
half
a
cubit;
the
base
of
it
is
a
cubit
all
round,
and
its
steps
are
facing
the
east.
\VS{18}And
he
said
to
me,
Son
of
man,
the
Lord
God
has
said,
These
are
the
rules
for
the
altar,
when
they
make
it,
for
the
offering
of burned
offerings
on
it
and
the draining
out
of
the
blood.
\VS{19}You
are
to
give
to
the
priests,
the
Levites
of
the
seed
of
Zadok,
who come
near
to
me,
says
the
Lord
God,
to do
my
work,
a
young
ox
for
a sin-offering.
\VS{20}You
are
to
take some
of
its
blood
and
put
it
on
the
four
horns
and
on
the
four angles
of
the shelf
and
on
the
edge
all
round:
and
you
are
to
make
it clean
and free
from
sin.
\VS{21}And
you
are
to
take
the
ox
of
the sin-offering,
and
have
it
burned
in
the special
place
ordered
for
it
in
the
house,
outside
the
holy
place.
\VS{22}And
on
the
second
day
you
are
to
have
a he-goat
without any mark
on
it
offered
for
a sin-offering;
and
they
are
to make
the
altar clean
as
they
did
with
the
young
ox.
\VS{23}And
after
you
have
made
it clean, let
a
young
ox
without
a mark
be
offered,
and
a
male
sheep
from
the
flock
without
a mark.
\VS{24}And
you
are
to
take
them
before
the
Lord,
and
the
priests
will
put
salt
on
them,
offering
them
up
for
a burned
offering
to
the
Lord.
\VS{25}Every
day
for
seven
days
you
are
to give
a
goat
for
a sin-offering:
and let
them give
in addition
a
young
ox
and
a
male
sheep
from
the
flock
without
any mark
on
them.
\VS{26}For
seven
days
they
are
to
make offerings
to take away sin
from
the
altar
and
to
make
it
clean;
so
they
are
to
make
it holy.
\VS{27}And
when these
days
have
come
to
an
end,
then
on
the
eighth
day
and
after,
the
priests
will
make
your burned
offerings
on
the
altar
and
your peace-offerings;
and
I
will
take
pleasure
in
you,
says
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{44}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
he
took
me
back
to
the
outer doorway
of
the
holy
place, looking
to
the
east;
and
it
was
shut.
\VS{2}And
the
Lord
said
to
me,
This doorway
is
to
be
shut,
it
is
not
to
be
open,
and
no
man
is
to
go
in
by
it,
because
the
Lord,
the
God
of
Israel,
has
gone
in
by
it;
and
it
is
to
be
shut.
\VS{3}But
the
ruler
will
be
seated
there
to
take
his
food
before
the
Lord;
he
will
go
in
by
the covered
way
to
the door,
and
will
come
out
by
the
same
way.
\VS{4}And
he
took
me
to
the
north doorway
in
front
of
the
house;
and,
looking,
I
saw
that
the
house
of
the
Lord
was
full
of
the
glory
of
the
Lord;
and
I
went
down
on
my
face.
\VS{5}And
the
Lord
said
to
me,
Son
of
man,
take
to
heart,
and
let
your
eyes
see
and
your
ears
be open
to
everything
I
say
to
you
about
all
the
rules
of
the
house
of
the
Lord
and
all
its
laws;
and
take
note
of
the ways
into
the
house
and
all
the ways
out
of
the
holy
place.
\VS{6}And
say
to
the uncontrolled children
of
Israel,
This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
O
you children
of
Israel, let
it
be
enough
for
you,
among
the
disgusting
things
which
you
have
done,
\VS{7}To
have
let
men
from
strange lands, without circumcision
of
heart
or
flesh,
come
into
my
holy
place,
making
my
house unclean;
and
to
have
made
the
offering
of
my
food,
even
the
fat
and
the
blood;
and
in
addition
to
all
your
disgusting ways,
you
have
let
my
agreement
be
broken.
\VS{8}And
you
have
not
taken
care
of
my
holy
things;
but
you
have
put
them
as
keepers
to
take
care
of
my
work
in
my
holy
place.
\VS{9}For
this cause
the
Lord
has
said,
No
man
from
a
strange land,
without circumcision
of
heart
and
flesh,
of
all
those
who
are
living
among
the
children
of
Israel,
is
to
come
into
my
holy
place.
\VS{10}But
as
for
the
Levites,
who
went
far
from
me,
when
Israel
went
out
of
the right
way, turning
away
from
me
to
go
after
their images;
their
punishment
will come
on
them.
\VS{11}But
they
may
be caretakers
in
my
holy
place,
and overseers
at
the doors
of
the
house, doing
the work
of
the
house:
they
will put
to death
the burned offering
and
the beasts offered
for
the
people,
and
they
will
take
their
place
before
them
as
their
servants.
\VS{12}Because
they
did
this work
for
them
before
their images,
and
became
a
cause
of
sin
to
the children
of
Israel;
for
this
cause
my
hand
has
been
lifted
up
against
them,
says
the
Lord,
and
their
punishment
will
be
on
them.
\VS{13}And
they
will
not
come
near
me
to
do
the work
of
priests
to
me,
or
come
near
any
of
my
holy
things,
or
the
things
which
are
most
holy:
but
their
shame
will
be
on
them,
and
the punishment
for
the
disgusting
things
which
they
have
done.
\VS{14}But
I
will
make
them
responsible
for
the
care
of
the
house
and
all
its
work
and
everything
which
is
done
in
it.
\VS{15}But
as
for
the
priests,
the
sons
of
Zadok,
who
took
care
of
my
holy
place
when
the
children
of
Israel
were
turned
away
from
me,
they
are
to
come
near
me
to
do
my work,
they
will
take
their
places
before
me,
offering
to
me
the
fat
and
the
blood,
says
the
Lord;
\VS{16}They
are
to
come
into
my
holy
place
and
they
are
to
come
near
to
my
table,
to
do
my work
and
have
the
care
of
my house.
\VS{17}And
when
they
come
in
by
the doorways
of
the
inner square,
they
are
to
be
clothed
in
linen
robes;
there
is
to
be
no
wool
on
them
while
they
are doing
my work
in
the doorway
of
the
inner square
and
inside
the
house.
\VS{18}They
are
to
have
linen head-dresses
on
their
heads
and
linen trousers
on
their legs,
and
they
are
to
have
nothing round
them
to make
their skin wet
with heat.
\VS{19}And
when
they
go
out
into
the
outer square
to
the
people,
they
are
to
take
off
the
robes
in
which
they
do
the work
of
priests,
and
put
them
away
in
the
holy
rooms,
and
put
on
other
clothing,
so
that
the
people
may
not
be
made
holy
by
their
robes.
\VS{20}They
are
not
to
have all
the
hair
cut
off
their
heads,
and
they
are
not
to
let
their
hair
get
long,
but
they
are
to
have
the
ends
of
their
hair
cut.
\VS{21}The
priests
are
not
to
take
wine
when
they
go
into
the
inner square.
\VS{22}And
they
are
not
to
take
as
wives
any
widow
or
woman
whose husband
has
put
her
away:
but
they
may
take
virgins
of
the
seed
of
Israel,
or
a
widow
who
is
the
widow
of
a
priest.
\VS{23}And
they
are
to
make clear
to
my
people
the division
between
what
is
holy
and
what
is
common,
and
to give
them
the
knowledge
of
what
is
clean
and
what
is
unclean.
\VS{24}In
any
cause,
they
are
to
be
in
the
position
of
judges,
judging
in harmony
with
my
decisions:
they
are
to
keep
my
laws
and
my
rules
in
all
my
fixed
feasts;
and
they
are
to
keep
my
Sabbaths
holy.
\VS{25}They
are
not
to
come
near
any
dead
person
so
as
to
become
unclean:
but
for
a
father
or
mother
or
son
or
daughter
or
brother
or
for
a
sister
who
has
no
husband,
they
may
make themselves
unclean.
\VS{26}And
after
he
has been made
clean,
seven
days
are
to
be
numbered
for
him.
\VS{27}And
on
the
day
when
he
goes
into
the
inner square,
to
do
the work
of
the
holy
place,
he
is
to make
his sin-offering,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{28}And
they
are
to
have
no
heritage;
I
am
their
heritage:
you
are
to
give
them
no
property
in
Israel;
I
am
their
property.
\VS{29}Their
food
is
to
be
the
meal
offering
and
the sin-offering
and
the
offering
for error;
and
everything given specially
to
the Lord
in
Israel
will
be
theirs.
\VS{30}And
the best
of
all
the first-fruits
of
everything,
and
every
offering
which
is lifted
up
of
all
your
offerings,
will
be
for
the
priests:
and
you
are
to
give
the
priest
the
first
of
your bread-making,
so causing
a
blessing
to
come
on
your
house.
\VS{31}The
priests
may
not take
for
food
any
bird
or
beast
which
has come
to
a
natural
death
or
whose
death
has
been caused
by
another
animal.

\par }\Chap{45}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
when
you
are
making
a distribution
of
the
land,
by
the decision
of
the
Lord,
for
your
heritage,
you
are
to
make
an
offering
to
the
Lord
of
a
part
of
the
land
as
holy:
it
is
to
be
twenty-five
thousand
long
and
twenty
thousand
wide:
all
the
land
inside
these limits
is
to
be
holy.
\VS{2}Of
this,
a
square
five
hundred
long
and
five
hundred wide
is
to
be
for
the
holy
place,
with
a
space
of
fifty
cubits
all
round
it.
\VS{3}And
of
this
measure,
let
a space
be
measured,
twenty-five
thousand
long
and
ten
thousand
wide:
in
it
there
will
be
the
holy
place, even
the
most
holy.
\VS{4}This
holy
part
of
the
land
is
to
be
for
the
priests,
the
servants
of
the
holy
place,
who
come
near
to
the
Lord
to do
his work;
it
is
to
be
a
place
for
their
houses
and
for grass-land
and
for cattle.
\VS{5}A space
of land
twenty-five
thousand
long
and
ten
thousand
wide
is
to
be
for
the
Levites,
the
servants
of
the
house,
a
property
for
themselves,
for towns
for
their living-places.
\VS{6}And
as
the
property
for
the
town
you
are
to
have
a part
five
thousand
wide
and
twenty-five
thousand
long,
by
the
side
of
the
offering
of
the
holy part
of
the land:
this
is
to
be
for
all
the children
of
Israel.
\VS{7}And
for
the ruler
there
is
to
be
a part
on
one
side
and
on
the
other
side
of
the
holy
offering
and
of
the
property
of
the
town,
in
front
of
the
holy
offering
and
in
front
of
the
property
of
the
town
on
the
west
of
it
and
on
the
east: measured
in
the
same
line
as
one
of
the parts
of
the
land,
from
its limit
on
the
west
to
its limit
on
the
east
of
the
land.
\VS{8}And this
will
be
his heritage
in
Israel:
and
my rulers
will
no
longer
be cruel masters
to
my
people;
but
they
will
give
the
land
as
a heritage
to
the children
of
Israel
by
their
tribes.
\VS{9}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said: Let
this
be
enough
for
you,
O rulers
of
Israel: let
there
be
an end
of
violent behaviour
and wasting;
do
what
is
right, judging
uprightly; let
there
be no
more driving
out
of
my
people,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{10}Have true
scales
and
a true
ephah
and
a true
bath.
\VS{11}The
ephah
and
the
bath
are
to
be
of
the
same
measure,
so
that
the
bath
is equal
to
a
tenth
of
a homer,
and
the
ephah
to
a
tenth
of
a homer:
the
unit
of
measure
is
to
be
a homer.
\VS{12}And
the
shekel
is
to
be
twenty
gerahs:
five
shekels
are
five,
and
ten
shekels
are
ten,
and
your
maneh
is
to
be fifty
shekels
\VS{13}This
is
the
offering
you
are
to give:
a
sixth
of
an
ephah out
of
a homer
of
wheat,
and
a
sixth
of
an
ephah out
of
a homer
of
barley;
\VS{14}And
the
fixed
measure
of
oil
is
to
be
a
tenth
of
a
bath
from
the cor,
for
ten
baths
make
up
the cor;
\VS{15}And
one
lamb
from
the
flock
out
of
every
two
hundred,
from
all
the families
of
Israel,
for
a
meal
offering
and
for
a burned
offering
and
for peace-offerings,
to take
away
their sin,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{16}All
the
people
are
to
give
this
offering
to
the ruler.
\VS{17}And
the ruler
will
be
responsible
for
the burned
offering
and
the
meal
offering
and
the drink
offering,
at
the
feasts
and
the
new
moons
and
the
Sabbaths,
at
all
the
fixed
feasts
of
the children
of
Israel:
he
will
give
the sin-offering
and
meal
offering
and burned
offering
and
the peace-offerings,
to
take
away
the
sin
of
the children
of
Israel.
\VS{18}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
In
the
first
month,
on
the
first
day
of
the
month,
you
are
to
take
a
young
ox
without
any mark
on
him,
and
you
are
to
make
the
holy
place clean.
\VS{19}And
the
priest
is
to
take some
of
the
blood
of
the sin-offering
and
put
it
on
the uprights
at
the sides
of
the doors
of
the
house,
and
on
the
four angles
of
the shelf
of
the
altar,
and
on
the sides
of
the doorway
of
the
inner square.
\VS{20}And
this
you
are
to
do
on
the
seventh
day
of
the
month
for
everyone
who
is
in
error
and
for
the feeble-minded:
you
are
to
make
the
house free
from sin.
\VS{21}In
the
first
month,
on
the fourteenth
day
of
the
month,
you
are
to
have
the
Passover,
a
feast
of
seven
days;
unleavened
bread
is
to
be
your
food.
\VS{22}And
on
that
day
the ruler
is
to give
for
himself
and
for
all
the
people
of
the
land an
ox
for
a sin-offering.
\VS{23}And
on
the
seven
days
of
the
feast
he
is
to give
a burned
offering
to
the
Lord,
seven
oxen
and
seven sheep
without any mark
on
them,
every
day
for
seven
days;
and
a he-goat
every
day
for
a sin-offering.
\VS{24}And
he
is
to give
a
meal
offering,
an
ephah
for every
ox
and
an
ephah
for every sheep
and
a
hin
of
oil
to every
ephah.
\VS{25}In
the
seventh
month,
on
the fifteenth
day
of
the
month,
at
the
feast,
he
is
to give
the
same
for
seven
days;
the sin-offering,
the burned
offering,
the
meal
offering,
and
the
oil
as
before.

\par }\Chap{46}{\PP \VerseOne{1}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
The doorway
of
the
inner square
looking
to
the
east
is
to
be
shut
on
the
six
working
days;
but
on
the
Sabbath
it
is
to
be
open,
and
at
the
time
of
the
new
moon
it
is
to
be
open.
\VS{2}And
the ruler
is
to
go
in
through
the covered
way
of
the
outer doorway
outside,
and
take
his
place
by
the pillar
of
the doorway,
and
the
priests
will
make
his burned
offering
and
his peace-offerings
and
he
will
give
worship
at
the doorstep
of
the doorway;
then
he
will
go
out,
and
the
door
will
not
be
shut
till
the
evening.
\VS{3}And
the
people
of
the
land
are
to give
worship
at
the
door
of
that
doorway
before
the
Lord
on
the
Sabbaths
and
at
the
new
moons.
\VS{4}And
the burned
offering
offered
to
the
Lord
by
the ruler
on
the
Sabbath
day
is
to
be
six
lambs
without
a mark
on
them
and
a
male
sheep
without
a mark;
\VS{5}And
the
meal
offering
is
to
be
an
ephah
for
the
sheep,
and
for
the
lambs whatever
he
is
able
to
give,
and
a
hin
of
oil
to
an
ephah.
\VS{6}And
at
the
time
of
the
new
moon
it
is
to
be
a
young
ox
of
the
herd
without
a mark
on
him,
and
six
lambs
and
a
male
sheep,
all
without
a mark:
\VS{7}And
he
is
to give
a
meal
offering,
an
ephah
for
the
ox
and
an
ephah
for
the
sheep,
and
for
the
lambs
whatever
he
is
able
to give,
and
a
hin
of
oil
to
an
ephah.

when
the ruler
comes
in,
he
is
to
go
in
through
the covered
way
of
the doorway,
and
he
is
to
go
out
by
the same
way.
\VS{9}But
when
the
people
of
the
land
come
before
the
Lord
at
the
fixed
feasts,
he
who
comes
in
by
the
north doorway
to
give
worship
is
to
go
out
by
the
south doorway;
and
he
who
comes
in
by
the
south doorway
is
to
go
out
by
the
north doorway:
he
is
not
to
come
back
by
the doorway
through
which
he
went
in,
but
is
to
go
straight
before
him.
\VS{10}And
the ruler,
when
they
come
in,
is
to
come
among
them,
and
is
to
go
out
when
they
go
out.
\VS{11}At
the
feasts
and
the
fixed meetings
the
meal
offerings
are
to
be
an
ephah
for
an
ox,
and
an
ephah
for
a
male
sheep,
and
for
the
lambs whatever
he
is
able
to
give,
and
a
hin
of
oil
to
an
ephah.
\VS{12}And
when
the ruler
makes
a
free
offering,
a burned
offering
or
a peace-offering
freely
given
to
the
Lord,
the doorway looking
to
the
east
is
to
be
made
open
for
him,

he
is
to
make
his burned
offering
and
his peace-offerings
as
he
does
on
the
Sabbath
day:
and
he
will
go
out;
and
the door
will
be
shut
after
he
has
gone
out.
\VS{13}And
you
are
to give
a
lamb
a
year
old
without any mark
on
it
for
a burned
offering
to
the
Lord
every
day:
morning
by
morning
you
are
to give
it.
\VS{14}And
you
are
to give,
morning
by
morning,
a
meal
offering
with
it,
a
sixth
of
an
ephah
and
a
third
of
a
hin
of
oil dropped
on
the best
meal;
a
meal
offering offered
to
the
Lord
at
all
times
by
an
eternal
order.
\VS{15}And
they
are
to give
the
lamb
and
the
meal
offering
and
the
oil,
morning
by
morning,
for
a burned
offering at
all
times.
\VS{16}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
If
the ruler
gives
a
property
to
any
of
his
sons,
it
is
his
heritage
and
will
be
the
property
of
his
sons;
it
is theirs
for
their
heritage.
\VS{17}And
if
he
gives
a part
of
his
heritage
to
one
of
his
servants,
it
will
be
his
till
the
year
of
making free,
and
then
it
will
go
back
to
the ruler;
for
it
is
his sons'
heritage,
and
is
to
be
theirs.
\VS{18}And
the ruler
is
not
to
take
the
heritage
of
any
of
the
people, driving
them
out
of
their
property;
he
is
to
give
a
heritage
to
his
sons
out
of
the
property
which
is
his:
so
that
my
people
may
not
be
sent
away
from
their
property.
\VS{19}And
he
took
me
through
by
the
way
in
at
the
side
of
the doorway
into
the
holy
rooms
which
are
the priests', looking
to
the
north:
and
I
saw
a
place
at
the
side
of
them
to
the
west.
\VS{20}And
he
said
to
me,
This
is
the
place
where
the
offering
for error
and
the sin-offering
are
to
be cooked
in water
by
the
priests,
and
where
the
meal
offering
is
to
be cooked
in
the oven;
so
that
they
may
not
be
taken
out
into
the
outer square
to make
the
people
holy.
\VS{21}And
he
took
me
out
into
the
outer square
and made
me
go
by
the
four angles
of
the square;
and
I
saw
that
in
every
angle
of
the open square
there was
a space shut
in.
\VS{22}In the
four angles
there
were spaces walled
in,
forty cubits
long
and
thirty
wide; the
four
were
of the
same
size.
\VS{23}And
there was
a line
of wall
all
round inside
them,
round
all
four,
and boiling-places
were
made
under
it
all
round
about.
\VS{24}And
he
said
to
me,
These
are
the boiling-rooms,
where
the offering
of
the
people
is cooked
by
the
servants
of
the
house.

\par }\Chap{47}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
he
took
me
back
to
the
door
of
the
house;
and
I
saw
that
waters
were
flowing
out
from
under
the doorstep
of
the
house
on
the
east,
for
the
house
was
facing
east:
and
the
waters
came
down
from
under,
from
the
right
side

house,
on

south
side
of

took
me
out
by
the
north doorway,
and
made
me
go
round
to
the
outside
of
the doorway looking
to
the
east;
and
I
saw
waters running slowly
out
on
the
south
side.
\VS{3}And
the
man
went
out
to
the
east
with
the line
in
his
hand,
and
after measuring
a
thousand
cubits,
he made
me
go
through
the
waters,
which
came
over
my
feet.
\VS{4}And again, measuring
a
thousand cubits,
he made me
go
through
the
waters
which came up
to my
knees. Again, measuring
a
thousand,
he made me
go
through
the
waters up
to
the middle
of my
body.
\VS{5}Again,
after
his measuring
a
thousand,
it became
a
river
which
it
was
not possible
to
go
through:
for
the
waters
had become deep enough
for swimming,
a
river
it
was
not possible
to
go
through.
\VS{6}And
he
said
to
me,
Son
of
man,
have
you
seen
this?
Then
he
took
me
to
the river's
edge.
\VS{7}And
he
took
me
back,
and
I
saw
at
the
edge
of
the
river
a
very
great number
of
trees
on
this
side
and
on
that.
\VS{8}And
he
said
to
me,
These
waters
are
flowing
out
to
the east
part
of
the land
and
down
into
the
Arabah;
and
they
will
go
to
the
sea,
and
the
waters
will
be made sweet.
\VS{9}And
it
will
come
about
that
every
living
and moving
thing,
wherever
their
streams
come,
will
have
life;
and
there
will
be
very
much
fish
because
these
waters
have
come
there
and
have
been
made sweet:
and
everything
wherever
the
river
comes
will
have
life.
\VS{10}And
fishermen
will
take
up
their places
by
it:
from En-gedi
as
far
as
En-eglaim
will
be
a
place
for
the stretching
out
of
nets;
the
fish
will
be
of every sort,
like
the
fish
of
the
Great
Sea,
a
very
great number.
\VS{11}The wet places
and
the pools
will
not
be
made sweet;
they
will
be
given
up
to
salt.
\VS{12}And
by
the
edge
of
the
river,
on
this
side
and
on
that,
will
come
up
every
tree
used
for
food,
whose
leaves
will
ever
be green
and
its
fruit
will
not
come
to
an
end:
it
will
have
new
fruit
every
month,
because
its
waters
come
out
from
the
holy
place:
the
fruit
will
be
for
food
and
the
leaf
will
make
well
those
who
are ill.
\VS{13}This
is
what
the
Lord
has
said:
These
are
the limits
by
which
you
will
take
up
your heritage
in
the
land
among
the
twelve
tribes
of
Israel:
Joseph
is
to
have
two parts.
\VS{14}And
you
are
to
make
an equal division
of
it;
as
I
gave
my oath
to
your
fathers
to
give
it
to
you:
for
this
land
is
to
be
your
heritage.
\VS{15}And
this
is
to
be
the limit
of
the
land:
on
the
north
side,
from
the
Great
Sea,
in
the
direction
of
Hethlon,
as
far
as
the
way
into Hamath;
\VS{16}To Zedad,
Berothah,
Sibraim,
which
is
between
the limit
of
Damascus
and
the limit
of Hazar-hatticon,
which
is
on
the limit
of
Hauran.
\VS{17}And this
is
the limit
from
the
sea
in
the direction
of Hazar-enon;
and
the limit
of
Damascus
is
to
the
north,
and
on
the
north
is
the limit
of
Hamath. This
is
the
north
side.
\VS{18}And
the
east
side
will
be
from Hazar-enon,
which
is
between
Hauran
and
Damascus;
and
between
Gilead
and
the
land
of
Israel
the
Jordan
will
be
the limit,
to
the
east
sea,
to Tamar. This
is
the
east
side.
\VS{19}And
the
south
side
to
the
south
will
be
from
Tamar
as
far
as
the
waters
of Meribath-kadesh,
to
the
stream
of Egypt,
to
the
Great
Sea. This
is
the
south
side,
on
the
south.
\VS{20}And
the
west
side
will
be
the
Great
Sea,
from
the limit
on
the
south
to
a
point
opposite
the
way
into
Hamath.
This
is
the
west
side.
\VS{21}You
will make
a division
of
the
land
among
you,
tribe
by
tribe.
\VS{22}And
you
are
to make
a distribution
of
it,
by
the decision
of
the Lord,
for
a
heritage
to
you
and
to
the
men
from
other lands
who
are
living
among
you
and
who
have
children
in
your
land:
they
will
be
the
same
to
you
as
if
they
were
Israelites
by
birth,
they
will
have
their
heritage
with
you
among
the
tribes
of
Israel.
\VS{23}In
whatever
tribe
the man
from
a strange
land
is
living,
there
you
are
to
give
him
his
heritage,
says
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{48}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
these
are
the
names
of
the
tribes:
from
the
north
end,
from
the
west
on
the
way
of
Hethlon
to
the
way
into
Hamath,
in
the
direction
of Hazar-enon,
with
the limit
of
Damascus
to
the
north,
by
Hamath;
and
on
the limit
from
the
east
side
to
the
west
side:
Dan,
one
part.
\VS{2}And
on
the limit
of
Dan,
from
the
east
side
to
the
west
side:
Asher,
one
part.
\VS{3}And
on
the limit
of
Asher,
from
the
east
side
to
the
west
side:
Naphtali,
one
part.
\VS{4}And
on
the limit
of
Naphtali,
from
the
east
side
to
the
west
side:
Manasseh,
one
part.
\VS{5}And
on
the limit
of
Manasseh,
from
the
east
side
to
the
west
side:
Ephraim,
one
part.
\VS{6}And
on
the limit
of
Ephraim,
from
the
east
side
to
the
west
side:
Reuben,
one
part.
\VS{7}And
on
the limit
of
Reuben,
from
the
east
side
to
the
west
side:
Judah,
one
part.
\VS{8}And
on
the limit
of
Judah,
from
the
east
side
to
the
west
side,
will
be
the
offering
which
you
are
to
make,
twenty-five
thousand
wide,
and
as
long
as
one
of
the parts,
from
the
east
side
to
the
west
side:
and
the
holy
place
will
be
in
the
middle
of
it.
\VS{9}The
offering
you
will give
to
the
Lord
is
to
be
twenty-five
thousand
long
and
twenty-five
thousand
wide.
\VS{10}And
for
these,
that
is
the
priests,
the
holy
offering
is
to
be
twenty-five
thousand
long
to
the
north,
ten
thousand
wide
to
the
west,
ten
thousand
wide
to
the
east
and
twenty-five
thousand
long
to
the
south;
and
the
holy
place
of
the
Lord
will
be
in
the
middle
of
it.
\VS{11}For
the
priests
who
have
been
made
holy,
those
of
the
sons
of
Zadok
who
kept
the orders
I gave
them,
who
did
not
go out
of
the right way
when
the
children
of
Israel
went
from
the way,
as
the
Levites
did,
\VS{12}Even
for
them
will
be
the
offering
from
the
offering
of
the
land,
a
thing
most
holy,
on
the limit
of
the
land given
to
the
Levites.
\VS{13}And
the
Levites
are
to
have
a part
of
the
land equal
to
the limit
of
the priests',
twenty-five
thousand
long
and
ten
thousand
wide,
all
of
it together
to
be
twenty-five
thousand
long
and
twenty
thousand
wide.
\VS{14}And
they
are
not
to
let
any
of
it
go
for
a price,
or give
it
in
exchange;
and
the
part
of
the
land given
to
the
Lord
is
not
to
go
into other hands:
for
it
is
holy
to
the
Lord.
\VS{15}And
the other
five
thousand, measured
from side
to side,
in
front
of
the
twenty-five
thousand,
is
to
be
for
common
use,
for
the
town,
for living
in
and
for
a free
space:
and
the
town
will
be
in
the
middle
of
it.
\VS{16}And
these
will
be
its measures:
the
north
side,
four
thousand
five
hundred,
and
the
south
side,
four
thousand
five
hundred,
and
on
the
east
side,
four
thousand
five
hundred,
and
on
the
west
side,
four
thousand
five
hundred.
\VS{17}And
the
town
will
have
a free
space
on
the
north
of
two
hundred
and
fifty,
on
the
south
of
two
hundred
and
fifty,
on
the
east
of
two
hundred
and
fifty,
and
on
the
west
of
two
hundred
and
fifty.
\VS{18}And
the
rest,
in measure
as
long
as
the
holy
offering,
will
be
ten
thousand
to
the
east
and
ten
thousand
to
the
west:
and
its
produce
will
be
for
food
for
the
workers
of
the
town.
\VS{19}It
will
be farmed
by
workers
of
the
town
from
all
the
tribes
of
Israel.
\VS{20}The size
of
the
offering
all together
is
to
be
twenty-five
thousand
by
twenty-five
thousand:
you
are
to
make
the
holy
offering
a
square, together
with
the
property
of
the
town.
\VS{21}And
the
rest
is
to
be
for
the
prince,
on
this
side
and
on
that
side
of
the
holy
offering
and
of
the
property
of
the
town,
in
front
of
the
twenty-five
thousand
to
the
east,
as
far
as
the
east limit,
and
to
the
west,
in
front
of
the
twenty-five
thousand,
as
far
as
the
west limit,
and
of
the
same measure
as
those parts;
it
will
be
the
property
of
the
prince:
and
the
holy
offering
and
holy
place
of
the
house
will
be
in
the
middle
of
it.
\VS{22}And
the
property
of
the
Levites
and
the
property
of
the
town
will
be
in
the
middle
of
the prince's
property;
between
the limit
of Judah's
part
and
the limit
of Benjamin's
part
will
be
for
the
prince.
\VS{23}And
as
for
the
rest
of
the
tribes:
from
the
east
side
to
the
west
side:
Benjamin,
one part.
\VS{24}And
on
the limit
of
Benjamin,
from
the
east
side
to
the
west
side:
Simeon,
one
part.
\VS{25}And
on
the limit
of
Simeon,
from
the
east
side
to
the
west
side:
Issachar,
one
part.
\VS{26}And
on
the limit
of
Issachar,
from
the
east
side
to
the
west
side:
Zebulun,
one
part.
\VS{27}And
on
the limit
of
Zebulun,
from
the
east
side
to
the
west
side:
Gad
one
part.
\VS{28}And
on
the limit
of
Gad,
on
the
south
side
and
to
the
south
of
it,
the limit
will
be
from
Tamar
to
the
waters
of Meribath-kadesh,
to
the
stream,
to
the
Great
Sea.
\VS{29}This
is
the
land
of
which distribution
is
to
be
made
by
the decision
of
the
Lord,
among
the
tribes
of
Israel
for
their
heritage,
and
these
are
their
heritages,
says
the
Lord.
\VS{30}And
these
are
the outskirts
of
the
town:
on
the
north
side,
four
thousand
five
hundred
by measure;
\VS{31}And
the doors
of
the
town
are
to
be
named
by
the
names
of
the
tribes
of
Israel;
three doors
on
the
north,
one
for
Reuben,
one
for
Judah,
one
for
Levi;
\VS{32}And
at
the
east
side,
four
thousand
five
hundred
by measure,
and
three doors,
one
for
Joseph,
one
for
Benjamin,
one
for
Dan;
\VS{33}And
at
the
south
side,
four
thousand
five
hundred
by measure,
and
three doors,
one
for
Simeon,
one
for
Issachar,
one
for
Zebulun;
\VS{34}At
the
west
side,
four
thousand
five
hundred
by measure,
with their
three doors,
one
for
Gad,
one
for
Asher,
one
for
Naphtali.
\VS{35}It
is
to
be
eighteen
thousand
all
round:
and
the
name
of
the
town
from
that
day
will
be,
The
Lord
is
there.
