Ezekiel 11 (WEBP)
[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.

Ezekiel 11 (KJVS)
[1] Moreover the spirit H7307 lifted me up H5375 (8799), and brought H935 (8686) me unto the east H6931 gate H8179 of the LORD’S H3068 house H1004, which looketh H6437 (8802) eastward H6921: and behold at the door H6607 of the gate H8179 five H2568 and twenty H6242 men H376; among H8432 whom I saw H7200 (8799) Jaazaniah H2970 the son H1121 of Azur H5809, and Pelatiah H6410 the son H1121 of Benaiah H1141, princes H8269 of the people H5971.
[2] Then said H559 (8799) he unto me, Son H1121 of man H120, these [are] the men H582 that devise H2803 (8802) mischief H205, and give H3289 (8802) wicked H7451 counsel H6098 in this city H5892:
[3] Which say H559 (8802), [It is] not near H7138; let us build H1129 (8800) houses H1004: this [city is] the caldron H5518, and we [be] the flesh H1320.
[4] Therefore prophesy H5012 (8734) against them, prophesy H5012 (8734), O son H1121 of man H120.
[5] And the Spirit H7307 of the LORD H3068 fell H5307 (8799) upon me, and said H559 (8799) unto me, Speak H559 (8798); Thus saith H559 (8804) the LORD H3068; Thus have ye said H559 (8799), O house H1004 of Israel H3478: for I know H3045 (8804) the things that come H4609 into your mind H7307, [every one of] them.
[6] Ye have multiplied H7235 (8689) your slain H2491 in this city H5892, and ye have filled H4390 (8765) the streets H2351 thereof with the slain H2491.
[7] Therefore thus saith H559 (8804) the Lord H136 GOD H3069; Your slain H2491 whom ye have laid H7760 (8804) in the midst H8432 of it, they [are] the flesh H1320, and this [city is] the caldron H5518: but I will bring you forth H3318 (8689) out of the midst H8432 of it.
[8] Ye have feared H3372 (8804) the sword H2719; and I will bring H935 (8686) a sword H2719 upon you, saith H5002 (8803) the Lord H136 GOD H3069.
[9] And I will bring you out H3318 (8689) of the midst H8432 thereof, and deliver H5414 (8804) you into the hands H3027 of strangers H2114 (8801), and will execute H6213 (8804) judgments H8201 among you.
[10] Ye shall fall H5307 (8799) by the sword H2719; I will judge H8199 (8799) you in the border H1366 of Israel H3478; and ye shall know H3045 (8804) that I [am] the LORD H3068.
[11] This [city] shall not be your caldron H5518, neither shall ye be the flesh H1320 in the midst H8432 thereof; [but] I will judge H8199 (8799) you in the border H1366 of Israel H3478:
[12] And ye shall know H3045 (8804) that I [am] the LORD H3068: for ye have not walked H1980 (8804) in my statutes H2706, neither executed H6213 (8804) my judgments H4941, but have done H6213 (8804) after the manners H4941 of the heathen H1471 that [are] round about H5439 you.
[13] And it came to pass, when I prophesied H5012 (8736), that Pelatiah H6410 the son H1121 of Benaiah H1141 died H4191 (8804). Then fell I down H5307 (8799) upon my face H6440, and cried H2199 (8799) with a loud H1419 voice H6963, and said H559 (8799), Ah H162 Lord H136 GOD H3069! wilt thou make H6213 (8802) a full end H3617 of the remnant H7611 of Israel H3478?
[14] Again the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came unto me, saying H559 (8800),
[15] Son H1121 of man H120, thy brethren H251, [even] thy brethren H251, the men H582 of thy kindred H1353, and all the house H1004 of Israel H3478 wholly, [are] they unto whom the inhabitants H3427 (8802) of Jerusalem H3389 have said H559 (8804), Get you far H7368 (8798) from the LORD H3068: unto us is this land H776 given H5414 (8738) in possession H4181.
[16] Therefore say H559 (8798), Thus saith H559 (8804) the Lord H136 GOD H3069; Although I have cast them far off H7368 (8689) among the heathen H1471, and although I have scattered H6327 (8689) them among the countries H776, yet will I be to them as a little H4592 sanctuary H4720 in the countries H776 where they shall come H935 (8804).
[17] Therefore say H559 (8798), Thus saith H559 (8804) the Lord H136 GOD H3069; I will even gather H6908 (8765) you from the people H5971, and assemble H622 (8804) you out of the countries H776 where ye have been scattered H6327 (8738), and I will give H5414 (8804) you the land H127 of Israel H3478.
[18] And they shall come H935 (8804) thither, and they shall take away H5493 (8689) all the detestable things H8251 thereof and all the abominations H8441 thereof from thence.
[19] And I will give H5414 (8804) them one H259 heart H3820, and I will put H5414 (8799) a new H2319 spirit H7307 within H7130 you; and I will take H5493 (8689) the stony H68 heart H3820 out of their flesh H1320, and will give H5414 (8804) them an heart H3820 of flesh H1320:
[20] That they may walk H3212 (8799) in my statutes H2708, and keep H8104 (8799) mine ordinances H4941, and do H6213 (8804) them: and they shall be my people H5971, and I will be their God H430.
[21] But [as for them] whose heart H3820 walketh H1980 (8802) after the heart H3820 of their detestable things H8251 and their abominations H8441, I will recompense H5414 (8804) their way H1870 upon their own heads H7218, saith H5002 (8803) the Lord H136 GOD H3069.
[22] Then did the cherubims H3742 lift up H5375 (8799) their wings H3671, and the wheels H212 beside H5980 them; and the glory H3519 of the God H430 of Israel H3478 [was] over them above H4605.
[23] And the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 went up H5927 (8799) from the midst H8432 of the city H5892, and stood H5975 (8799) upon the mountain H2022 which [is] on the east side H6924 of the city H5892.
[24] Afterwards the spirit H7307 took me up H5375 (8804), and brought H935 (8686) me in a vision H4758 by the Spirit H7307 of God H430 into Chaldea H3778, to them of the captivity H1473. So the vision H4758 that I had seen H7200 (8804) went up H5927 (8799) from me.
[25] Then I spake H1696 (8762) unto them of the captivity H1473 all the things H1697 that the LORD H3068 had shewed H7200 (8689) me.
Young’s Literal Translation
Ezekiel 11 (YLT)
[1] And lift me up doth a spirit, and it bringeth me in unto the east gate of the house of Jehovah, that is facing the east, and lo, at the opening of the gate twenty and five men, and I see in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur, and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, heads of the people.
[2] And He saith unto me, ‘Son of man, these are the men who are devising iniquity, and who are giving evil counsel in this city;
[3] who are saying, It is not near-to build houses, it is the pot, and we the flesh.
[4] Therefore prophesy concerning them, prophesy, son of man.’
[5] And fall upon me doth the Spirit of Jehovah, and He saith unto me, ‘Say: Thus said Jehovah: Rightly ye have said, O house of Israel, And the steps of your spirit I have known.
[6] Ye multiplied your wounded in this city, And filled its out-places with the wounded.
[7] Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Your wounded whom ye placed in its midst, They are the flesh, and it is the pot, And you he hath brought out from its midst.
[8] A sword ye have feared, And a sword I bring in against you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
[9] And I have brought you out of its midst, And given you into the hand of strangers, And I have done among you judgments.
[10] By the sword ye do fall, On the border of Israel I do judge you, And ye have known that I am Jehovah.
[11] It is not to you for a pot, Nor are ye in its midst for flesh, At the border of Israel I do judge you.
[12] And ye have known that I am Jehovah, For in My statutes ye have not walked, And My Judgments ye have not done, And according to the judgments of the nations Who are round about you-ye have done!’
[13] And it cometh to pass, at my prophesying, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah is dying, and I fall on my face, and cry-a loud voice-and say, ‘Ah, Lord Jehovah, an end Thou art making of the remnant of Israel.’
[14] And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
[15] ‘Son of man, thy brethren, thy brethren, men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel-all of it, are they to whom inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Keep far off from Jehovah;
[16] it is ours, the land hath been given for an inheritance; therefore say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because I put them afar off among nations, And because I scattered them through lands, I also am to them for a little sanctuary, In lands whither they have gone in.
[17] Therefore say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And I have assembled you from the peoples, And I have gathered you from the lands, Into which ye have been scattered, And I have given to you the ground of Israel.
[18] And they have gone in thither. And turned aside all its detestable things, And all its abominations-out of it.
[19] And I have given to them one heart, And a new spirit I do give in your midst, And I have turned the heart of stone out of their flesh, And I have given to them a heart of flesh.
[20] So that in My statutes they walk, And My judgments they keep, and have done them, And they have been to me for a people, And I am to them for God.
[21] As to those whose heart is going unto the heart Of their detestable and their abominable things, Their way on their head I have put, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.’
[22] And the cherubs lift up their wings, and the wheels are over-against them, and the honour of the God of Israel is over them above.
[23] And the honour of Jehovah goeth up from off the midst of the city, and standeth on the mountain, that is on the east of the city.
[24] And a spirit hath lifted me up, and bringeth me in to Chaldea, unto the Removed, in a vision, by the Spirit of God, and go up from off me doth the vision that I have seen;
[25] and I speak unto the Removed all the matters of Jehovah that He hath shewed me.
