Ezekiel 14 (WEBP)

[1] Then some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat before me.
[2] Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
[3] “Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their heart, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face. Should I be inquired of at all by them?
[4] Therefore speak to them and tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Every man of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face then comes to the prophet, I Yahweh will answer him there according to the multitude of his idols,
[5] that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.”’
[6] “Therefore tell the house of Israel, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Return, and turn yourselves from your idols! Turn away your faces from all your abominations.
[7] “‘“For everyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live in Israel, who separates himself from me and takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet to inquire for himself of me, I Yahweh will answer him by myself.
[8] I will set my face against that man and will make him an astonishment, for a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from among my people. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.
[9] “‘“If the prophet is deceived and speaks a word, I, Yahweh, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand on him, and will destroy him from among my people Israel.
[10] They will bear their iniquity. The iniquity of the prophet will be even as the iniquity of him who seeks him,
[11] that the house of Israel may no more go astray from me, neither defile themselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God,” says the Lord Yahweh.’”
[12] Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
[13] “Son of man, when a land sins against me by committing a trespass, and I stretch out my hand on it, and break the staff of its bread and send famine on it, and cut off from it man and animal—
[14] though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver only their own souls by their righteousness,” says the Lord Yahweh.
[15] “If I cause evil animals to pass through the land, and they ravage it and it is made desolate, so that no man may pass through because of the animals—
[16] though these three men were in it, as I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “they would deliver neither sons nor daughters. They only would be delivered, but the land would be desolate.
[17] “Or if I bring a sword on that land, and say, ‘Sword, go through the land, so that I cut off from it man and animal’—
[18] though these three men were in it, as I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “they would deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only would be delivered themselves.
[19] “Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my wrath on it in blood, to cut off from it man and animal—
[20] though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “they would deliver neither son nor daughter; they would deliver only their own souls by their righteousness.”
[21] For the Lord Yahweh says: “How much more when I send my four severe judgments on Jerusalem—the sword, the famine, the evil animals, and the pestilence—to cut off from it man and animal!
[22] Yet, behold, there will be left a remnant in it that will be carried out, both sons and daughters. Behold, they will come out to you, and you will see their way and their doings. Then you will be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought on it.
[23] They will comfort you, when you see their way and their doings; then you will know that I have not done all that I have done in it without cause,” says the Lord Yahweh.

Ezekiel 14 (KJVS)

[1] Then came () certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat () before me.
[2] And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, ()
[3] Son of man, these men have set up () their idols in their heart, and put () the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired () of at all () by them?
[4] Therefore speak () unto them, and say () unto them, Thus saith () the Lord God; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up () his idols in his heart, and putteth () the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh () to the prophet; I the Lord will answer () him that cometh () according to the multitude of his idols;
[5] that I may take () the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged () from me through their idols.
[6] Therefore say () unto the house of Israel, Thus saith () the Lord God; Repent, () and turn () yourselves from your idols; and turn away () your faces from all your abominations.
[7] For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth () in Israel, which separateth () himself from me, and setteth up () his idols in his heart, and putteth () the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh () to a prophet to enquire () of him concerning me; I the Lord will answer () him by myself:
[8] and I will set () my face against that man, and will make () him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off () from the midst of my people; and ye shall know () that I am the Lord.
[9] And if the prophet be deceived () when he hath spoken () a thing, I the Lord have deceived () that prophet, and I will stretch out () my hand upon him, and will destroy () him from the midst of my people Israel.
[10] And they shall bear () the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh () unto him;
[11] that the house of Israel may go no more astray () from me, neither be polluted () any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith () the Lord God.
[12] The word of the Lord came again to me, saying, ()
[13] Son of man, when the land sinneth () against me by trespassing () grievously, then will I stretch out () mine hand upon it, and will break () the staff of the bread thereof, and will send () famine upon it, and will cut off () man and beast from it:
[14] though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver () but their own souls by their righteousness, saith () the Lord God.
[15] If I cause noisome beasts to pass through () the land, and they spoil () it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through () because of the beasts:
[16] though these three men were in it, as I live, saith () the Lord God, they shall deliver () neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, () but the land shall be desolate.
[17] Or if I bring () a sword upon that land, and say, () Sword, go through () the land; so that I cut off () man and beast from it:
[18] though these three men were in it, as I live, saith () the Lord God, they shall deliver () neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered () themselves.
[19] Or if I send () a pestilence into that land, and pour out () my fury upon it in blood, to cut off () from it man and beast:
[20] though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith () the Lord God, they shall deliver () neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver () their own souls by their righteousness.
[21] For thus saith () the Lord God; How much more when I send () my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off () from it man and beast?
[22] Yet, behold, therein shall be left () a remnant that shall be brought forth, () both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth () unto you, and ye shall see () their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted () concerning the evil that I have brought () upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought () upon it.
[23] And they shall comfort () you, when ye see () their ways and their doings: and ye shall know () that I have not done () without cause all that I have done () in it, saith () the Lord God.

Ezekiel 14 (BYZ)

[1] και ηλθον προς με ανδρες εκ των πρεσβυτερων του ισραηλ και εκαθισαν προ προσωπου μου
[2] και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων
[3] υιε ανθρωπου οι ανδρες ουτοι εθεντο τα διανοηματα αυτων επι τας καρδιας αυτων και την κολασιν των αδικιων αυτων εθηκαν προ προσωπου αυτων ει αποκρινομενος αποκριθω αυτοις
[4] δια τουτο λαλησον αυτοις και ερεις προς αυτους ταδε λεγει κυριος ανθρωπος ανθρωπος εκ του οικου ισραηλ ος αν θη τα διανοηματα αυτου επι την καρδιαν αυτου και την κολασιν της αδικιας αυτου ταξη προ προσωπου αυτου και ελθη προς τον προφητην εγω κυριος αποκριθησομαι αυτω εν οις ενεχεται η διανοια αυτου
[5] οπως πλαγιαση τον οικον του ισραηλ κατα τας καρδιας αυτων τας απηλλοτριωμενας απ εμου εν τοις ενθυμημασιν αυτων
[6] δια τουτο ειπον προς τον οικον του ισραηλ ταδε λεγει κυριος κυριος επιστραφητε και αποστρεψατε απο των επιτηδευματων υμων και απο πασων των ασεβειων υμων και επιστρεψατε τα προσωπα υμων
[7] διοτι ανθρωπος ανθρωπος εκ του οικου ισραηλ και εκ των προσηλυτων των προσηλυτευοντων εν τω ισραηλ ος αν απαλλοτριωθη απ εμου και θηται τα ενθυμηματα αυτου επι την καρδιαν αυτου και την κολασιν της αδικιας αυτου ταξη προ προσωπου αυτου και ελθη προς τον προφητην του επερωτησαι αυτον εν εμοι εγω κυριος αποκριθησομαι αυτω εν ω ενεχεται εν αυτω
[8] και στηριω το προσωπον μου επι τον ανθρωπον εκεινον και θησομαι αυτον εις ερημον και εις αφανισμον και εξαρω αυτον εκ μεσου του λαου μου και επιγνωσεσθε οτι εγω κυριος
[9] και ο προφητης εαν πλανηθη και λαληση εγω κυριος πεπλανηκα τον προφητην εκεινον και εκτενω την χειρα μου επ αυτον και αφανιω αυτον εκ μεσου του λαου μου ισραηλ
[10] και λημψονται την αδικιαν αυτων κατα το αδικημα του επερωτωντος και κατα το αδικημα ομοιως τω προφητη εσται
[11] οπως μη πλαναται ετι ο οικος του ισραηλ απ εμου και ινα μη μιαινωνται ετι εν πασιν τοις παραπτωμασιν αυτων και εσονται μοι εις λαον και εγω εσομαι αυτοις εις θεον λεγει κυριος
[12] και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων
[13] υιε ανθρωπου γη εαν αμαρτη μοι του παραπεσειν παραπτωμα και εκτενω την χειρα μου επ αυτην και συντριψω αυτης στηριγμα αρτου και εξαποστελω επ αυτην λιμον και εξαρω εξ αυτης ανθρωπον και κτηνη
[14] και εαν ωσιν οι τρεις ανδρες ουτοι εν μεσω αυτης νωε και δανιηλ και ιωβ αυτοι εν τη δικαιοσυνη αυτων σωθησονται λεγει κυριος
[15] εαν και θηρια πονηρα επαγω επι την γην και τιμωρησομαι αυτην και εσται εις αφανισμον και ουκ εσται ο διοδευων απο προσωπου των θηριων
[16] και οι τρεις ανδρες ουτοι εν μεσω αυτης ωσι ζω εγω λεγει κυριος ει υιοι η θυγατερες σωθησονται αλλ η αυτοι μονοι σωθησονται η δε γη εσται εις ολεθρον
[17] η και ρομφαιαν εαν επαγω επι την γην εκεινην και ειπω ρομφαια διελθατω δια της γης και εξαρω εξ αυτης ανθρωπον και κτηνος
[18] και οι τρεις ανδρες ουτοι εν μεσω αυτης ζω εγω λεγει κυριος ου μη ρυσωνται υιους ουδε θυγατερας αυτοι μονοι σωθησονται
[19] η και θανατον επαποστειλω επι την γην εκεινην και εκχεω τον θυμον μου επ αυτην εν αιματι του εξολεθρευσαι εξ αυτης ανθρωπον και κτηνος
[20] και νωε και δανιηλ και ιωβ εν μεσω αυτης ζω εγω λεγει κυριος εαν υιοι η θυγατερες υπολειφθωσιν αυτοι εν τη δικαιοσυνη αυτων ρυσονται τας ψυχας αυτων
[21] ταδε λεγει κυριος εαν δε και τας τεσσαρας εκδικησεις μου τας πονηρας ρομφαιαν και λιμον και θηρια πονηρα και θανατον εξαποστειλω επι ιερουσαλημ του εξολεθρευσαι εξ αυτης ανθρωπον και κτηνος
[22] και ιδου υπολελειμμενοι εν αυτη οι ανασεσωσμενοι αυτης οι εξαγουσιν εξ αυτης υιους και θυγατερας ιδου αυτοι εκπορευονται προς υμας και οψεσθε τας οδους αυτων και τα ενθυμηματα αυτων και μεταμεληθησεσθε επι τα κακα α επηγαγον επι ιερουσαλημ παντα τα κακα α επηγαγον επ αυτην
[23] και παρακαλεσουσιν υμας διοτι οψεσθε τας οδους αυτων και τα ενθυμηματα αυτων και επιγνωσεσθε διοτι ου ματην πεποιηκα παντα οσα εποιησα εν αυτη λεγει κυριος
