^[1] Moreover the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of Yahweh’s house, which looks eastward. Behold, twenty-five men were at the door of the gate; and I saw among them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people. ^[2] He said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city; ^[3] who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses. This is the cauldron, and we are the meat.’ ^[4] Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man.” ^[5] Yahweh’s Spirit fell on me, and he said to me, “Speak, ‘Yahweh says: “Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind. ^[6] You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.” ^[7] “ ‘Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Your slain whom you have laid in the middle of it, they are the meat, and this is the cauldron; but you will be brought out of the middle of it. ^[8] You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,” says the Lord Yahweh. ^[9] “I will bring you out of the middle of it, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you. ^[10] You will fall by the sword. I will judge you in the border of Israel. Then you will know that I am Yahweh. ^[11] This will not be your cauldron, neither will you be the meat in the middle of it. I will judge you in the border of Israel. ^[12] You will know that I am Yahweh, for you have not walked in my statutes. You have not executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you.” ’ ” ^[13] When I prophesied, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?” ^[14] Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, ^[15] “Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, are the ones to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Go far away from Yahweh. This land has been given to us for a possession.’ ^[16] “Therefore say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come.” ’ ^[17] “Therefore say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.” ^[18] “ ‘They will come there, and they will take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there. ^[19] I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them. I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh, ^[20] that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them. They will be my people, and I will be their God. ^[21] But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads,’ says the Lord Yahweh.” ^[22] Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them. The glory of the God of Israel was over them above. ^[23] Yahweh’s glory went up from the middle of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city. ^[24] The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to the captives.So the vision that I had seen went up from me. ^[25] Then I spoke to the captives all the things that Yahweh had shown me.

[but] I will judgeH8199(QalImpf) you in the borderH1366 of Israel:H3478 ^[12] And ye shall knowH3045(QalPerf) that I [am] the Lord:H3068 for ye have not walkedH1980(QalPerf) in my statutes,H2706 neither executedH6213(QalPerf) my judgments,H4941 but have doneH6213(QalPerf) after the mannersH4941 of the heathenH1471 that [are] round aboutH5439 you. ^[13] And it came to pass, when I prophesied,H5012(NiphInf) that PelatiahH6410 the sonH1121 of BenaiahH1141 died.H4191(QalPerf) Then fell I downH5307(QalImpf) upon my face,H6440 and criedH2199(QalImpf) with a loudH1419 voice,H6963 and said,H559(QalImpf) AhH162 LordH136 God!H3069 wilt thou makeH6213(QalActPtc) a full endH3617 of the remnantH7611 of Israel?H3478 ^[14] Again the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 came unto me, saying,H559(QalInf) ^[15] SonH1121 of man,H120 thy brethren,H251 [even] thy brethren,H251 the menH582 of thy kindred,H1353 and all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 wholly, [are] they unto whom the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of JerusalemH3389 have said,H559(QalPerf) Get you farH7368(QalImpv) from the Lord:H3068 unto us is this landH776 givenH5414(NiphPerf) in possession.H4181 ^[16] Therefore say,H559(QalImpv) Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH136 God;H3069 Although I have cast them far offH7368(HiphPerf) among the heathen,H1471 and although I have scatteredH6327(HiphPerf) them among the countries,H776 yet will I be to them as a littleH4592 sanctuaryH4720 in the countriesH776 where they shall come.H935(QalPerf) ^[17] Therefore say,H559(QalImpv) Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH136 God;H3069 I will even gatherH6908(PielPerf) you from the people,H5971 and assembleH622(QalPerf) you out of the countriesH776 where ye have been scattered,H6327(NiphPerf) and I will giveH5414(QalPerf) you the landH127 of Israel.H3478 ^[18] And they shall comeH935(QalPerf) thither, and they shall take awayH5493(HiphPerf) all the detestable thingsH8251 thereof and all the abominationsH8441 thereof from thence. ^[19] And I will giveH5414(QalPerf) them oneH259 heart,H3820 and I will putH5414(QalImpf) a newH2319 spiritH7307 withinH7130 you; and I will takeH5493(HiphPerf) the stonyH68 heartH3820 out of their flesh,H1320 and will giveH5414(QalPerf) them an heartH3820 of flesh:H1320 ^[20] That they may walkH3212(QalImpf) in my statutes,H2708 and keepH8104(QalImpf) mine ordinances,H4941 and doH6213(QalPerf) them: and they shall be my people,H5971 and I will be their God.H430 ^[21] But [as for them] whose heartH3820 walkethH1980(QalActPtc) after the heartH3820 of their detestable thingsH8251 and their abominations,H8441 I will recompenseH5414(QalPerf) their wayH1870 upon their own heads,H7218 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the LordH136 God.H3069 ^[22] Then did the cherubimsH3742 lift upH5375(QalImpf) their wings,H3671 and the wheelsH212 besideH5980 them; and the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 [was] over them above.H4605 ^[23] And the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 went upH5927(QalImpf) from the midstH8432 of the city,H5892 and stoodH5975(QalImpf) upon the mountainH2022 which [is] on the east sideH6924 of the city.H5892 ^[24] Afterwards the spiritH7307 took me up,H5375(QalPerf) and broughtH935(HiphImpf) me in a visionH4758 by the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 into Chaldea,H3778 to them of the captivity.H1473 So the visionH4758 that I had seenH7200(QalPerf) went upH5927(QalImpf) from me. ^[25] Then I spakeH1696(PielImpf) unto them of the captivityH1473 all the thingsH1697 that the LordH3068 had shewedH7200(HiphPerf) me.
