* BOOK26 EZEKIEL
= CHAPTER 1 
# 1 NOW IT CAME TO PASS IN THE THIRTIETH YEAR, IN THE FOURTH MONTH, IN THE
 FIFTH DAY OF THE MONTH, AS I WAS AMONG THE CAPTIVES BY THE RIVER OF CHEBAR,
 THAT THE HEAVENS WERE OPENED, AND I SAW VISIONS OF GOD.
# 2 IN THE FIFTH DAY OF THE MONTH, WHICH WAS THE FIFTH YEAR OF KING
 JEHOIACHINS CAPTIVITY,
# 3 THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME EXPRESSLY UNTO EZEKIEL THE PRIEST, THE SON OF
 BUZI, IN THE LAND OF THE CHALDEANS BY THE RIVER CHEBAR; AND THE HAND OF THE
 LORD WAS THERE UPON HIM.
# 4 AND I LOOKED, AND, BEHOLD, A WHIRLWIND CAME OUT OF THE NORTH, A GREAT
 CLOUD, AND A FIRE INFOLDING ITSELF, AND A BRIGHTNESS WAS ABOUT IT, AND OUT OF
 THE MIDST THEREOF AS THE COLOUR OF AMBER, OUT OF THE MIDST OF THE FIRE.
# 5 ALSO OUT OF THE MIDST THEREOF CAME THE LIKENESS OF FOUR LIVING CREATURES.
 AND THIS WAS THEIR APPEARANCE; THEY HAD THE LIKENESS OF A MAN.
# 6 AND EVERY ONE HAD FOUR FACES, AND EVERY ONE HAD FOUR WINGS.
# 7 AND THEIR FEET WERE STRAIGHT FEET; AND THE SOLE OF THEIR FEET WAS LIKE
 THE SOLE OF A CALFS FOOT: AND THEY SPARKLED LIKE THE COLOUR OF BURNISHED
 BRASS.
# 8 AND THEY HAD THE HANDS OF A MAN UNDER THEIR WINGS ON THEIR FOUR SIDES;
 AND THEY FOUR HAD THEIR FACES AND THEIR WINGS.
# 9 THEIR WINGS WERE JOINED ONE TO ANOTHER; THEY TURNED NOT WHEN THEY WENT;
 THEY WENT EVERY ONE STRAIGHT FORWARD.
# 10 AS FOR THE LIKENESS OF THEIR FACES, THEY FOUR HAD THE FACE OF A MAN, AND
 THE FACE OF A LION, ON THE RIGHT SIDE: AND THEY FOUR HAD THE FACE OF AN OX ON
 THE LEFT SIDE; THEY FOUR ALSO HAD THE FACE OF AN EAGLE.
# 11 THUS WERE THEIR FACES: AND THEIR WINGS WERE STRETCHED UPWARD; TWO WINGS
 OF EVERY ONE WERE JOINED ONE TO ANOTHER, AND TWO COVERED THEIR BODIES.
# 12 AND THEY WENT EVERY ONE STRAIGHT FORWARD: WHITHER THE SPIRIT WAS TO GO,
 THEY WENT; AND THEY TURNED NOT WHEN THEY WENT.
# 13 AS FOR THE LIKENESS OF THE LIVING CREATURES, THEIR APPEARANCE WAS LIKE
 BURNING COALS OF FIRE, AND LIKE THE APPEARANCE OF LAMPS: IT WENT UP AND DOWN
 AMONG THE LIVING CREATURES; AND THE FIRE WAS BRIGHT, AND OUT OF THE FIRE WENT
 FORTH LIGHTNING.
# 14 AND THE LIVING CREATURES RAN AND RETURNED AS THE APPEARANCE OF A FLASH
 OF LIGHTNING.
# 15 NOW AS I BEHELD THE LIVING CREATURES, BEHOLD ONE WHEEL UPON THE EARTH BY
 THE LIVING CREATURES, WITH HIS FOUR FACES.
# 16 THE APPEARANCE OF THE WHEELS AND THEIR WORK WAS LIKE UNTO THE COLOUR OF
 A BERYL: AND THEY FOUR HAD ONE LIKENESS: AND THEIR APPEARANCE AND THEIR WORK
 WAS AS IT WERE A WHEEL IN THE MIDDLE OF A WHEEL.
# 17 WHEN THEY WENT, THEY WENT UPON THEIR FOUR SIDES: AND THEY TURNED NOT
 WHEN THEY WENT.
# 18 AS FOR THEIR RINGS, THEY WERE SO HIGH THAT THEY WERE DREADFUL; AND THEIR
 RINGS WERE FULL OF EYES ROUND ABOUT THEM FOUR.
# 19 AND WHEN THE LIVING CREATURES WENT, THE WHEELS WENT BY THEM: AND WHEN
 THE LIVING CREATURES WERE LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH, THE WHEELS WERE LIFTED
 UP.
# 20 WHITHERSOEVER THE SPIRIT WAS TO GO, THEY WENT, THITHER WAS THEIR SPIRIT
 TO GO; AND THE WHEELS WERE LIFTED UP OVER AGAINST THEM: FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE
 LIVING CREATURE WAS IN THE WHEELS.
# 21 WHEN THOSE WENT, THESE WENT; AND WHEN THOSE STOOD, THESE STOOD; AND WHEN
 THOSE WERE LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH, THE WHEELS WERE LIFTED UP OVER AGAINST
 THEM: FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING CREATURE WAS IN THE WHEELS.
# 22 AND THE LIKENESS OF THE FIRMAMENT UPON THE HEADS OF THE LIVING CREATURE
 WAS AS THE COLOUR OF THE TERRIBLE CRYSTAL, STRETCHED FORTH OVER THEIR HEADS
 ABOVE.
# 23 AND UNDER THE FIRMAMENT WERE THEIR WINGS STRAIGHT, THE ONE TOWARD THE
 OTHER: EVERY ONE HAD TWO, WHICH COVERED ON THIS SIDE, AND EVERY ONE HAD TWO,
 WHICH COVERED ON THAT SIDE, THEIR BODIES.
# 24 AND WHEN THEY WENT, I HEARD THE NOISE OF THEIR WINGS, LIKE THE NOISE OF
 GREAT WATERS, AS THE VOICE OF THE ALMIGHTY, THE VOICE OF SPEECH, AS THE NOISE
 OF AN HOST: WHEN THEY STOOD, THEY LET DOWN THEIR WINGS.
# 25 AND THERE WAS A VOICE FROM THE FIRMAMENT THAT WAS OVER THEIR HEADS, WHEN
 THEY STOOD, AND HAD LET DOWN THEIR WINGS.
# 26 AND ABOVE THE FIRMAMENT THAT WAS OVER THEIR HEADS WAS THE LIKENESS OF A
 THRONE, AS THE APPEARANCE OF A SAPPHIRE STONE: AND UPON THE LIKENESS OF THE
 THRONE WAS THE LIKENESS AS THE APPEARANCE OF A MAN ABOVE UPON IT.
# 27 AND I SAW AS THE COLOUR OF AMBER, AS THE APPEARANCE OF FIRE ROUND ABOUT
 WITHIN IT, FROM THE APPEARANCE OF HIS LOINS EVEN UPWARD, AND FROM THE
 APPEARANCE OF HIS LOINS EVEN DOWNWARD, I SAW AS IT WERE THE APPEARANCE OF
 FIRE, AND IT HAD BRIGHTNESS ROUND ABOUT.
# 28 AS THE APPEARANCE OF THE BOW THAT IS IN THE CLOUD IN THE DAY OF RAIN, SO
 WAS THE APPEARANCE OF THE BRIGHTNESS ROUND ABOUT. THIS WAS THE APPEARANCE OF
 THE LIKENESS OF THE GLORY OF THE LORD. AND WHEN I SAW IT, I FELL UPON MY
 FACE, AND I HEARD A VOICE OF ONE THAT SPAKE.
= CHAPTER 2 
# 1 AND HE SAID UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, STAND UPON THY FEET, AND I WILL SPEAK
 UNTO THEE.
# 2 AND THE SPIRIT ENTERED INTO ME WHEN HE SPAKE UNTO ME, AND SET ME UPON MY
 FEET, THAT I HEARD HIM THAT SPAKE UNTO ME.
# 3 AND HE SAID UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, I SEND THEE TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL,
 TO A REBELLIOUS NATION THAT HATH REBELLED AGAINST ME: THEY AND THEIR FATHERS
 HAVE TRANSGRESSED AGAINST ME, EVEN UNTO THIS VERY DAY.
# 4 FOR THEY ARE IMPUDENT CHILDREN AND STIFFHEARTED. I DO SEND THEE UNTO
 THEM; AND THOU SHALT SAY UNTO THEM, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 5 AND THEY, WHETHER THEY WILL HEAR, OR WHETHER THEY WILL FORBEAR, (FOR THEY
 ARE A REBELLIOUS HOUSE,) YET SHALL KNOW THAT THERE HATH BEEN A PROPHET AMONG
 THEM.
# 6 AND THOU, SON OF MAN, BE NOT AFRAID OF THEM, NEITHER BE AFRAID OF THEIR
 WORDS, THOUGH BRIERS AND THORNS BE WITH THEE, AND THOU DOST DWELL AMONG
 SCORPIONS: BE NOT AFRAID OF THEIR WORDS, NOR BE DISMAYED AT THEIR LOOKS,
 THOUGH THEY BE A REBELLIOUS HOUSE.
# 7 AND THOU SHALT SPEAK MY WORDS UNTO THEM, WHETHER THEY WILL HEAR, OR
 WHETHER THEY WILL FORBEAR: FOR THEY ARE MOST REBELLIOUS.
# 8 BUT THOU, SON OF MAN, HEAR WHAT I SAY UNTO THEE; BE NOT THOU REBELLIOUS
 LIKE THAT REBELLIOUS HOUSE: OPEN THY MOUTH, AND EAT THAT I GIVE THEE.
# 9 AND WHEN I LOOKED, BEHOLD, AN HAND WAS SENT UNTO ME; AND, LO, A ROLL OF A
 BOOK WAS THEREIN;
# 10 AND HE SPREAD IT BEFORE ME; AND IT WAS WRITTEN WITHIN AND WITHOUT: AND
 THERE WAS WRITTEN THEREIN LAMENTATIONS, AND MOURNING, AND WOE.
= CHAPTER 3 
# 1 MOREOVER HE SAID UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, EAT THAT THOU FINDEST; EAT THIS
 ROLL, AND GO SPEAK UNTO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.
# 2 SO I OPENED MY MOUTH, AND HE CAUSED ME TO EAT THAT ROLL.
# 3 AND HE SAID UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, CAUSE THY BELLY TO EAT, AND FILL THY
 BOWELS WITH THIS ROLL THAT I GIVE THEE. THEN DID I EAT IT; AND IT WAS IN MY
 MOUTH AS HONEY FOR SWEETNESS.
# 4 AND HE SAID UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, GO, GET THEE UNTO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL,
 AND SPEAK WITH MY WORDS UNTO THEM.
# 5 FOR THOU ART NOT SENT TO A PEOPLE OF A STRANGE SPEECH AND OF AN HARD
 LANGUAGE, BUT TO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL;
# 6 NOT TO MANY PEOPLE OF A STRANGE SPEECH AND OF AN HARD LANGUAGE, WHOSE
 WORDS THOU CANST NOT UNDERSTAND. SURELY, HAD I SENT THEE TO THEM, THEY WOULD
 HAVE HEARKENED UNTO THEE.
# 7 BUT THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL WILL NOT HEARKEN UNTO THEE; FOR THEY WILL NOT
 HEARKEN UNTO ME: FOR ALL THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL ARE IMPUDENT AND HARDHEARTED.
# 8 BEHOLD, I HAVE MADE THY FACE STRONG AGAINST THEIR FACES, AND THY FOREHEAD
 STRONG AGAINST THEIR FOREHEADS.
# 9 AS AN ADAMANT HARDER THAN FLINT HAVE I MADE THY FOREHEAD: FEAR THEM NOT,
 NEITHER BE DISMAYED AT THEIR LOOKS, THOUGH THEY BE A REBELLIOUS HOUSE.
# 10 MOREOVER HE SAID UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, ALL MY WORDS THAT I SHALL SPEAK
 UNTO THEE RECEIVE IN THINE HEART, AND HEAR WITH THINE EARS.
# 11 AND GO, GET THEE TO THEM OF THE CAPTIVITY, UNTO THE CHILDREN OF THY
 PEOPLE, AND SPEAK UNTO THEM, AND TELL THEM, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; WHETHER
 THEY WILL HEAR, OR WHETHER THEY WILL FORBEAR.
# 12 THEN THE SPIRIT TOOK ME UP, AND I HEARD BEHIND ME A VOICE OF A GREAT
 RUSHING, SAYING, BLESSED BE THE GLORY OF THE LORD FROM HIS PLACE.
# 13 I HEARD ALSO THE NOISE OF THE WINGS OF THE LIVING CREATURES THAT TOUCHED
 ONE ANOTHER, AND THE NOISE OF THE WHEELS OVER AGAINST THEM, AND A NOISE OF A
 GREAT RUSHING.
# 14 SO THE SPIRIT LIFTED ME UP, AND TOOK ME AWAY, AND I WENT IN BITTERNESS,
 IN THE HEAT OF MY SPIRIT; BUT THE HAND OF THE LORD WAS STRONG UPON ME.
# 15 THEN I CAME TO THEM OF THE CAPTIVITY AT TELABIB, THAT DWELT BY THE RIVER
 OF CHEBAR, AND I SAT WHERE THEY SAT, AND REMAINED THERE ASTONISHED AMONG THEM
 SEVEN DAYS.
# 16 AND IT CAME TO PASS AT THE END OF SEVEN DAYS, THAT THE WORD OF THE LORD
 CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 17 SON OF MAN, I HAVE MADE THEE A WATCHMAN UNTO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL:
 THEREFORE HEAR THE WORD AT MY MOUTH, AND GIVE THEM WARNING FROM ME.
# 18 WHEN I SAY UNTO THE WICKED, THOU SHALT SURELY DIE; AND THOU GIVEST HIM
 NOT WARNING, NOR SPEAKEST TO WARN THE WICKED FROM HIS WICKED WAY, TO SAVE HIS
 LIFE; THE SAME WICKED MAN SHALL DIE IN HIS INIQUITY; BUT HIS BLOOD WILL I
 REQUIRE AT THINE HAND.
# 19 YET IF THOU WARN THE WICKED, AND HE TURN NOT FROM HIS WICKEDNESS, NOR
 FROM HIS WICKED WAY, HE SHALL DIE IN HIS INIQUITY; BUT THOU HAST DELIVERED
 THY SOUL.
# 20 AGAIN, WHEN A RIGHTEOUS MAN DOTH TURN FROM HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND COMMIT
 INIQUITY, AND I LAY A STUMBLING-BLOCK BEFORE HIM, HE SHALL DIE: BECAUSE THOU
 HAST NOT GIVEN HIM WARNING, HE SHALL DIE IN HIS SIN, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS
 WHICH HE HATH DONE SHALL NOT BE REMEMBERED; BUT HIS BLOOD WILL I REQUIRE AT
 THINE HAND.
# 21 NEVERTHELESS IF THOU WARN THE RIGHTEOUS MAN, THAT THE RIGHTEOUS SIN NOT,
 AND HE DOTH NOT SIN, HE SHALL SURELY LIVE, BECAUSE HE IS WARNED; ALSO THOU
 HAST DELIVERED THY SOUL.
# 22 AND THE HAND OF THE LORD WAS THERE UPON ME; AND HE SAID UNTO ME, ARISE,
 GO FORTH INTO THE PLAIN, AND I WILL THERE TALK WITH THEE.
# 23 THEN I AROSE, AND WENT FORTH INTO THE PLAIN: AND, BEHOLD, THE GLORY OF
 THE LORD STOOD THERE, AS THE GLORY WHICH I SAW BY THE RIVER OF CHEBAR: AND I
 FELL ON MY FACE.
# 24 THEN THE SPIRIT ENTERED INTO ME, AND SET ME UPON MY FEET, AND SPAKE WITH
 ME, AND SAID UNTO ME, GO, SHUT THYSELF WITHIN THINE HOUSE.
# 25 BUT THOU, O SON OF MAN, BEHOLD, THEY SHALL PUT BANDS UPON THEE, AND
 SHALL BIND THEE WITH THEM, AND THOU SHALT NOT GO OUT AMONG THEM:
# 26 AND I WILL MAKE THY TONGUE CLEAVE TO THE ROOF OF THY MOUTH, THAT THOU
 SHALT BE DUMB, AND SHALT NOT BE TO THEM A REPROVER: FOR THEY ARE A REBELLIOUS
 HOUSE.
# 27 BUT WHEN I SPEAK WITH THEE, I WILL OPEN THY MOUTH, AND THOU SHALT SAY
 UNTO THEM, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; HE THAT HEARETH, LET HIM HEAR; AND HE
 THAT FORBEARETH, LET HIM FORBEAR: FOR THEY ARE A REBELLIOUS HOUSE.
= CHAPTER 4 
# 1 THOU ALSO, SON OF MAN, TAKE THEE A TILE, AND LAY IT BEFORE THEE, AND
 POURTRAY UPON IT THE CITY, EVEN JERUSALEM:
# 2 AND LAY SIEGE AGAINST IT, AND BUILD A FORT AGAINST IT, AND CAST A MOUNT
 AGAINST IT; SET THE CAMP ALSO AGAINST IT, AND SET BATTERING RAMS AGAINST IT
 ROUND ABOUT.
# 3 MOREOVER TAKE THOU UNTO THEE AN IRON PAN, AND SET IT FOR A WALL OF IRON
 BETWEEN THEE AND THE CITY: AND SET THY FACE AGAINST IT, AND IT SHALL BE
 BESIEGED, AND THOU SHALT LAY SIEGE AGAINST IT. THIS SHALL BE A SIGN TO THE
 HOUSE OF ISRAEL.
# 4 LIE THOU ALSO UPON THY LEFT SIDE, AND LAY THE INIQUITY OF THE HOUSE OF
 ISRAEL UPON IT: ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF THE DAYS THAT THOU SHALT LIE UPON
 IT THOU SHALT BEAR THEIR INIQUITY.
# 5 FOR I HAVE LAID UPON THEE THE YEARS OF THEIR INIQUITY, ACCORDING TO THE
 NUMBER OF THE DAYS, THREE HUNDRED AND NINETY DAYS: SO SHALT THOU BEAR THE
 INIQUITY OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.
# 6 AND WHEN THOU HAST ACCOMPLISHED THEM, LIE AGAIN ON THY RIGHT SIDE, AND
 THOU SHALT BEAR THE INIQUITY OF THE HOUSE OF JUDAH FORTY DAYS: I HAVE
 APPOINTED THEE EACH DAY FOR A YEAR.
# 7 THEREFORE THOU SHALT SET THY FACE TOWARD THE SIEGE OF JERUSALEM, AND
 THINE ARM SHALL BE UNCOVERED, AND THOU SHALT PROPHESY AGAINST IT.
# 8 AND, BEHOLD, I WILL LAY BANDS UPON THEE, AND THOU SHALT NOT TURN THEE
 FROM ONE SIDE TO ANOTHER, TILL THOU HAST ENDED THE DAYS OF THY SIEGE.
# 9 TAKE THOU ALSO UNTO THEE WHEAT, AND BARLEY, AND BEANS, AND LENTILES, AND
 MILLET, AND FITCHES, AND PUT THEM IN ONE VESSEL, AND MAKE THEE BREAD THEREOF,
 ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF THE DAYS THAT THOU SHALT LIE UPON THY SIDE, THREE
 HUNDRED AND NINETY DAYS SHALT THOU EAT THEREOF.
# 10 AND THY MEAT WHICH THOU SHALT EAT SHALL BE BY WEIGHT, TWENTY SHEKELS A
 DAY: FROM TIME TO TIME SHALT THOU EAT IT.
# 11 THOU SHALT DRINK ALSO WATER BY MEASURE, THE SIXTH PART OF AN HIN: FROM
 TIME TO TIME SHALT THOU DRINK.
# 12 AND THOU SHALT EAT IT AS BARLEY CAKES, AND THOU SHALT BAKE IT WITH DUNG
 THAT COMETH OUT OF MAN, IN THEIR SIGHT.
# 13 AND THE LORD SAID, EVEN THUS SHALL THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL EAT THEIR
 DEFILED BREAD AMONG THE GENTILES, WHITHER I WILL DRIVE THEM.
# 14 THEN SAID I, AH LORD GOD! BEHOLD, MY SOUL HATH NOT BEEN POLLUTED: FOR
 FROM MY YOUTH UP EVEN TILL NOW HAVE I NOT EATEN OF THAT WHICH DIETH OF
 ITSELF, OR IS TORN IN PIECES; NEITHER CAME THERE ABOMINABLE FLESH INTO MY
 MOUTH.
# 15 THEN HE SAID UNTO ME, LO, I HAVE GIVEN THEE COWS DUNG FOR MANS DUNG, AND
 THOU SHALT PREPARE THY BREAD THEREWITH.
# 16 MOREOVER HE SAID UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, BEHOLD, I WILL BREAK THE STAFF OF
 BREAD IN JERUSALEM: AND THEY SHALL EAT BREAD BY WEIGHT, AND WITH CARE; AND
 THEY SHALL DRINK WATER BY MEASURE, AND WITH ASTONISHMENT:
# 17 THAT THEY MAY WANT BREAD AND WATER, AND BE ASTONIED ONE WITH ANOTHER,
 AND CONSUME AWAY FOR THEIR INIQUITY.
= CHAPTER 5 
# 1 AND THOU, SON OF MAN, TAKE THEE A SHARP KNIFE, TAKE THEE A BARBERS RAZOR,
 AND CAUSE IT TO PASS UPON THINE HEAD AND UPON THY BEARD: THEN TAKE THEE
 BALANCES TO WEIGH, AND DIVIDE THE HAIR.
# 2 THOU SHALT BURN WITH FIRE A THIRD PART IN THE MIDST OF THE CITY, WHEN THE
 DAYS OF THE SIEGE ARE FULFILLED: AND THOU SHALT TAKE A THIRD PART, AND SMITE
 ABOUT IT WITH A KNIFE: AND A THIRD PART THOU SHALT SCATTER IN THE WIND; AND I
 WILL DRAW OUT A SWORD AFTER THEM.
# 3 THOU SHALT ALSO TAKE THEREOF A FEW IN NUMBER, AND BIND THEM IN THY
 SKIRTS.
# 4 THEN TAKE OF THEM AGAIN, AND CAST THEM INTO THE MIDST OF THE FIRE, AND
 BURN THEM IN THE FIRE; FOR THEREOF SHALL A FIRE COME FORTH INTO ALL THE HOUSE
 OF ISRAEL.
# 5 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; THIS IS JERUSALEM: I HAVE SET IT IN THE MIDST OF
 THE NATIONS AND COUNTRIES THAT ARE ROUND ABOUT HER.
# 6 AND SHE HATH CHANGED MY JUDGMENTS INTO WICKEDNESS MORE THAN THE NATIONS,
 AND MY STATUTES MORE THAN THE COUNTRIES THAT ARE ROUND ABOUT HER: FOR THEY
 HAVE REFUSED MY JUDGMENTS AND MY STATUTES, THEY HAVE NOT WALKED IN THEM.
# 7 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BECAUSE YE MULTIPLIED MORE THAN THE
 NATIONS THAT ARE ROUND ABOUT YOU, AND HAVE NOT WALKED IN MY STATUTES, NEITHER
 HAVE KEPT MY JUDGMENTS, NEITHER HAVE DONE ACCORDING TO THE JUDGMENTS OF THE
 NATIONS THAT ARE ROUND ABOUT YOU;
# 8 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BEHOLD, I, EVEN I, AM AGAINST THEE,
 AND WILL EXECUTE JUDGMENTS IN THE MIDST OF THEE IN THE SIGHT OF THE NATIONS.
# 9 AND I WILL DO IN THEE THAT WHICH I HAVE NOT DONE, AND WHEREUNTO I WILL
 NOT DO ANY MORE THE LIKE, BECAUSE OF ALL THINE ABOMINATIONS.
# 10 THEREFORE THE FATHERS SHALL EAT THE SONS IN THE MIDST OF THEE, AND THE
 SONS SHALL EAT THEIR FATHERS; AND I WILL EXECUTE JUDGMENTS IN THEE, AND THE
 WHOLE REMNANT OF THEE WILL I SCATTER IN TO ALL THE WINDS.
# 11 WHEREFORE, AS I LIVE, SAITH THE LORD GOD; SURELY, BECAUSE THOU HAST
 DEFILED MY SANCTUARY WITH ALL THY DETESTABLE THINGS, AND WITH ALL THINE
 ABOMINATIONS, THEREFORE WILL I ALSO DIMINISH THEE; NEITHER SHALL MINE EYE
 SPARE, NEITHER WILL I HAVE ANY PITY.
# 12 A THIRD PART OF THEE SHALL DIE WITH THE PESTILENCE, AND WITH FAMINE
 SHALL THEY BE CONSUMED IN THE MIDST OF THEE: AND A THIRD PART SHALL FALL BY
 THE SWORD ROUND ABOUT THEE; AND I WILL SCATTER A THIRD PART INTO ALL THE
 WINDS, AND I WILL DRAW OUT A SWORD AFTER THEM.
# 13 THUS SHALL MINE ANGER BE ACCOMPLISHED, AND I WILL CAUSE MY FURY TO REST
 UPON THEM, AND I WILL BE COMFORTED: AND THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I THE LORD HAVE
 SPOKEN IT IN MY ZEAL, WHEN I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED MY FURY IN THEM.
# 14 MOREOVER I WILL MAKE THEE WASTE, AND A REPROACH AMONG THE NATIONS THAT
 ARE ROUND ABOUT THEE, IN THE SIGHT OF ALL THAT PASS BY.
# 15 SO IT SHALL BE A REPROACH AND A TAUNT, AN INSTRUCTION AND AN
 ASTONISHMENT UNTO THE NATIONS THAT ARE ROUND ABOUT THEE, WHEN I SHALL EXECUTE
 JUDGMENTS IN THEE IN ANGER AND IN FURY AND IN FURIOUS REBUKES. I THE LORD
 HAVE SPOKEN IT.
# 16 WHEN I SHALL SEND UPON THEM THE EVIL ARROWS OF FAMINE, WHICH SHALL BE
 FOR THEIR DESTRUCTION, AND WHICH I WILL SEND TO DESTROY YOU: AND I WILL
 INCREASE THE FAMINE UPON YOU, AND WILL BREAK YOUR STAFF OF BREAD:
# 17 SO WILL I SEND UPON YOU FAMINE AND EVIL BEASTS, AND THEY SHALL BEREAVE
 THEE: AND PESTILENCE AND BLOOD SHALL PASS THROUGH THEE; AND I WILL BRING THE
 SWORD UPON THEE. I THE LORD HAVE SPOKEN IT.
= CHAPTER 6 
# 1 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 2 SON OF MAN, SET THY FACE TOWARD THE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL, AND PROPHESY
 AGAINST THEM,
# 3 AND SAY, YE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL, HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD GOD; THUS
 SAITH THE LORD GOD TO THE MOUNTAINS, AND TO THE HILLS, TO THE RIVERS, AND TO
 THE VALLEYS; BEHOLD, I, EVEN I, WILL BRING A SWORD UPON YOU, AND I WILL
 DESTROY YOUR HIGH PLACES.
# 4 AND YOUR ALTARS SHALL BE DESOLATE, AND YOUR IMAGES SHALL BE BROKEN: AND I
 WILL CAST DOWN YOUR SLAIN MEN BEFORE YOUR IDOLS.
# 5 AND I WILL LAY THE DEAD CARCASES OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL BEFORE THEIR
 IDOLS; AND I WILL SCATTER YOUR BONES ROUND ABOUT YOUR ALTARS.
# 6 IN ALL YOUR DWELLINGPLACES THE CITIES SHALL BE LAID WASTE, AND THE HIGH
 PLACES SHALL BE DESOLATE; THAT YOUR ALTARS MAY BE LAID WASTE AND MADE
 DESOLATE, AND YOUR IDOLS MAY BE BROKEN AND CEASE, AND YOUR IMAGES MAY BE CUT
 DOWN, AND YOUR WORKS MAY BE ABOLISHED.
# 7 AND THE SLAIN SHALL FALL IN THE MIDST OF YOU, AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM
 THE LORD.
# 8 YET WILL I LEAVE A REMNANT, THAT YE MAY HAVE SOME THAT SHALL ESCAPE THE
 SWORD AMONG THE NATIONS, WHEN YE SHALL BE SCATTERED THROUGH THE COUNTRIES.
# 9 AND THEY THAT ESCAPE OF YOU SHALL REMEMBER ME AMONG THE NATIONS WHITHER
 THEY SHALL BE CARRIED CAPTIVES, BECAUSE I AM BROKEN WITH THEIR WHORISH HEART,
 WHICH HATH DEPARTED FROM ME, AND WITH THEIR EYES, WHICH GO A WHORING AFTER
 THEIR IDOLS: AND THEY SHALL LOTHE THEMSELVES FOR THE EVILS WHICH THEY HAVE
 COMMITTED IN ALL THEIR ABOMINATIONS.
# 10 AND THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD, AND THAT I HAVE NOT SAID IN VAIN
 THAT I WOULD DO THIS EVIL UNTO THEM.
# 11 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; SMITE WITH THINE HAND, AND STAMP WITH THY FOOT,
 AND SAY, ALAS FOR ALL THE EVIL ABOMINATIONS OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL! FOR THEY
 SHALL FALL BY THE SWORD, BY THE FAMINE, AND BY THE PESTILENCE.
# 12 HE THAT IS FAR OFF SHALL DIE OF THE PESTILENCE; AND HE THAT IS NEAR
 SHALL FALL BY THE SWORD; AND HE THAT REMAINETH AND IS BESIEGED SHALL DIE BY
 THE FAMINE: THUS WILL I ACCOMPLISH MY FURY UPON THEM.
# 13 THEN SHALL YE KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD, WHEN THEIR SLAIN MEN SHALL BE
 AMONG THEIR IDOLS ROUND ABOUT THEIR ALTARS, UPON EVERY HIGH HILL, IN ALL THE
 TOPS OF THE MOUNTAINS, AND UNDER EVERY GREEN TREE, AND UNDER EVERY THICK OAK,
 THE PLACE WHERE THEY DID OFFER SWEET SAVOUR TO ALL THEIR IDOLS.
# 14 SO WILL I STRETCH OUT MY HAND UPON THEM, AND MAKE THE LAND DESOLATE,
 YEA, MORE DESOLATE THAN THE WILDERNESS TOWARD DIBLATH, IN ALL THEIR
 HABITATIONS: AND THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
= CHAPTER 7 
# 1 MOREOVER THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 2 ALSO, THOU SON OF MAN, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD UNTO THE LAND OF ISRAEL;
 AN END, THE END IS COME UPON THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE LAND.
# 3 NOW IS THE END COME UPON THEE, AND I WILL SEND MINE ANGER UPON THEE, AND
 WILL JUDGE THEE ACCORDING TO THY WAYS, AND WILL RECOMPENSE UPON THEE ALL
 THINE ABOMINATIONS.
# 4 AND MINE EYE SHALL NOT SPARE THEE, NEITHER WILL I HAVE PITY: BUT I WILL
 RECOMPENSE THY WAYS UPON THEE, AND THINE ABOMINATIONS SHALL BE IN THE MIDST
 OF THEE: AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
# 5 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; AN EVIL, AN ONLY EVIL, BEHOLD, IS COME.
# 6 AN END IS COME, THE END IS COME: IT WATCHETH FOR THEE; BEHOLD, IT IS
 COME.
# 7 THE MORNING IS COME UNTO THEE, O THOU THAT DWELLEST IN THE LAND: THE TIME
 IS COME, THE DAY OF TROUBLE IS NEAR, AND NOT THE SOUNDING AGAIN OF THE
 MOUNTAINS.
# 8 NOW WILL I SHORTLY POUR OUT MY FURY UPON THEE, AND ACCOMPLISH MINE ANGER
 UPON THEE: AND I WILL JUDGE THEE ACCORDING TO THY WAYS, AND WILL RECOMPENSE
 THEE FOR ALL THINE ABOMINATIONS.
# 9 AND MINE EYE SHALL NOT SPARE, NEITHER WILL I HAVE PITY: I WILL RECOMPENSE
 THEE ACCORDING TO THY WAYS AND THINE ABOMINATIONS THAT ARE IN THE MIDST OF
 THEE; AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD THAT SMITETH.
# 10 BEHOLD THE DAY, BEHOLD, IT IS COME: THE MORNING IS GONE FORTH; THE ROD
 HATH BLOSSOMED, PRIDE HATH BUDDED.
# 11 VIOLENCE IS RISEN UP INTO A ROD OF WICKEDNESS: NONE OF THEM SHALL
 REMAIN, NOR OF THEIR MULTITUDE, NOR OF ANY OF THEIRS: NEITHER SHALL THERE BE
 WAILING FOR THEM.
# 12 THE TIME IS COME, THE DAY DRAWETH NEAR: LET NOT THE BUYER REJOICE, NOR
 THE SELLER MOURN: FOR WRATH IS UPON ALL THE MULTITUDE THEREOF.
# 13 FOR THE SELLER SHALL NOT RETURN TO THAT WHICH IS SOLD, ALTHOUGH THEY
 WERE YET ALIVE: FOR THE VISION IS TOUCHING THE WHOLE MULTITUDE THEREOF, WHICH
 SHALL NOT RETURN; NEITHER SHALL ANY STRENGTHEN HIMSELF IN THE INIQUITY OF HIS
 LIFE.
# 14 THEY HAVE BLOWN THE TRUMPET, EVEN TO MAKE ALL READY; BUT NONE GOETH TO
 THE BATTLE: FOR MY WRATH IS UPON ALL THE MULTITUDE THEREOF.
# 15 THE SWORD IS WITHOUT, AND THE PESTILENCE AND THE FAMINE WITHIN: HE THAT
 IS IN THE FIELD SHALL DIE WITH THE SWORD; AND HE THAT IS IN THE CITY, FAMINE
 AND PESTILENCE SHALL DEVOUR HIM.
# 16 BUT THEY THAT ESCAPE OF THEM SHALL ESCAPE, AND SHALL BE ON THE MOUNTAINS
 LIKE DOVES OF THE VALLEYS, ALL OF THEM MOURNING, EVERY ONE FOR HIS INIQUITY.
# 17 ALL HANDS SHALL BE FEEBLE, AND ALL KNEES SHALL BE WEAK AS WATER.
# 18 THEY SHALL ALSO GIRD THEMSELVES WITH SACKCLOTH, AND HORROR SHALL COVER
 THEM; AND SHAME SHALL BE UPON ALL FACES, AND BALDNESS UPON ALL THEIR HEADS.
# 19 THEY SHALL CAST THEIR SILVER IN THE STREETS, AND THEIR GOLD SHALL BE
 REMOVED: THEIR SILVER AND THEIR GOLD SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO DELIVER THEM IN THE
 DAY OF THE WRATH OF THE LORD: THEY SHALL NOT SATISFY THEIR SOULS, NEITHER
 FILL THEIR BOWELS: BECAUSE IT IS THE STUMBLINGBLOCK OF THEIR INIQUITY.
# 20 AS FOR THE BEAUTY OF HIS ORNAMENT, HE SET IT IN MAJESTY: BUT THEY MADE
 THE IMAGES OF THEIR ABOMINATIONS AND OF THEIR DETESTABLE THINGS THEREIN:
 THEREFORE HAVE I SET IT FAR FROM THEM.
# 21 AND I WILL GIVE IT INTO THE HANDS OF THE STRANGERS FOR A PREY, AND TO
 THE WICKED OF THE EARTH FOR A SPOIL; AND THEY SHALL POLLUTE IT.
# 22 MY FACE WILL I TURN ALSO FROM THEM, AND THEY SHALL POLLUTE MY SECRET
 PLACE: FOR THE ROBBERS SHALL ENTER INTO IT, AND DEFILE IT.
# 23 MAKE A CHAIN: FOR THE LAND IS FULL OF BLOODY CRIMES, AND THE CITY IS
 FULL OF VIOLENCE.
# 24 WHEREFORE I WILL BRING THE WORST OF THE HEATHEN, AND THEY SHALL POSSESS
 THEIR HOUSES: I WILL ALSO MAKE THE POMP OF THE STRONG TO CEASE; AND THEIR
 HOLY PLACES SHALL BE DEFILED.
# 25 DESTRUCTION COMETH; AND THEY SHALL SEEK PEACE, AND THERE SHALL BE NONE.
# 26 MISCHIEF SHALL COME UPON MISCHIEF, AND RUMOUR SHALL BE UPON RUMOUR; THEN
 SHALL THEY SEEK A VISION OF THE PROPHET; BUT THE LAW SHALL PERISH FROM THE
 PRIEST, AND COUNSEL FROM THE ANCIENTS.
# 27 THE KING SHALL MOURN, AND THE PRINCE SHALL BE CLOTHED WITH DESOLATION,
 AND THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND SHALL BE TROUBLED: I WILL DO UNTO
 THEM AFTER THEIR WAY, AND ACCORDING TO THEIR DESERTS WILL I JUDGE THEM; AND
 THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
= CHAPTER 8 
# 1 AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THE SIXTH YEAR, IN THE SIXTH MONTH, IN THE FIFTH
 DAY OF THE MONTH, AS I SAT IN MINE HOUSE, AND THE ELDERS OF JUDAH SAT BEFORE
 ME, THAT THE HAND OF THE LORD GOD FELL THERE UPON ME.
# 2 THEN I BEHELD, AND LO A LIKENESS AS THE APPEARANCE OF FIRE: FROM THE
 APPEARANCE OF HIS LOINS EVEN DOWNWARD, FIRE; AND FROM HIS LOINS EVEN UPWARD,
 AS THE APPEARANCE OF BRIGHTNESS, AS THE COLOUR OF AMBER.
# 3 AND HE PUT FORTH THE FORM OF AN HAND, AND TOOK ME BY A LOCK OF MINE HEAD;
 AND THE SPIRIT LIFTED ME UP BETWEEN THE EARTH AND THE HEAVEN, AND BROUGHT ME
 IN THE VISIONS OF GOD TO JERUSALEM, TO THE DOOR OF THE INNER GATE THAT
 LOOKETH TOWARD THE NORTH; WHERE WAS THE SEAT OF THE IMAGE OF JEALOUSY, WHICH
 PROVOKETH TO JEALOUSY.
# 4 AND, BEHOLD, THE GLORY OF THE GOD OF ISRAEL WAS THERE, ACCORDING TO THE
 VISION THAT I SAW IN THE PLAIN.
# 5 THEN SAID HE UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, LIFT UP THINE EYES NOW THE WAY TOWARD
 THE NORTH. SO I LIFTED UP MINE EYES THE WAY TOWARD THE NORTH, AND BEHOLD
 NORTHWARD AT THE GATE OF THE ALTAR THIS IMAGE OF JEALOUSY IN THE ENTRY.
# 6 HE SAID FURTHERMORE UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, SEEST THOU WHAT THEY DO? EVEN
 THE GREAT ABOMINATIONS THAT THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL COMMITTETH HERE, THAT I
 SHOULD GO FAR OFF FROM MY SANCTUARY? BUT TURN THEE YET AGAIN, AND THOU SHALT
 SEE GREATER ABOMINATIONS.
# 7 AND HE BROUGHT ME TO THE DOOR OF THE COURT; AND WHEN I LOOKED, BEHOLD A
 HOLE IN THE WALL.
# 8 THEN SAID HE UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, DIG NOW IN THE WALL: AND WHEN I HAD
 DIGGED IN THE WALL, BEHOLD A DOOR.
# 9 AND HE SAID UNTO ME, GO IN, AND BEHOLD THE WICKED ABOMINATIONS THAT THEY
 DO HERE.
# 10 SO I WENT IN AND SAW; AND BEHOLD EVERY FORM OF CREEPING THINGS, AND
 ABOMINABLE BEASTS, AND ALL THE IDOLS OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, POURTRAYED UPON
 THE WALL ROUND ABOUT.
# 11 AND THERE STOOD BEFORE THEM SEVENTY MEN OF THE ANCIENTS OF THE HOUSE OF
 ISRAEL, AND IN THE MIDST OF THEM STOOD JAAZANIAH THE SON OF SHAPHAN, WITH
 EVERY MAN HIS CENSER IN HIS HAND; AND A THICK CLOUD OF INCENSE WENT UP.
# 12 THEN SAID HE UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, HAST THOU SEEN WHAT THE ANCIENTS OF
 THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL DO IN THE DARK, EVERY MAN IN THE CHAMBERS OF HIS IMAGERY?
 FOR THEY SAY, THE LORD SEETH US NOT; THE LORD HATH FORSAKEN THE EARTH.
# 13 HE SAID ALSO UNTO ME, TURN THEE YET AGAIN, AND THOU SHALT SEE GREATER
 ABOMINATIONS THAT THEY DO.
# 14 THEN HE BROUGHT ME TO THE DOOR OF THE GATE OF THE LORDS HOUSE WHICH WAS
 TOWARD THE NORTH; AND, BEHOLD, THERE SAT WOMEN WEEPING FOR TAMMUZ.
# 15 THEN SAID HE UNTO ME, HAST THOU SEEN THIS, O SON OF MAN? TURN THEE YET
 AGAIN, AND THOU SHALT SEE GREATER ABOMINATIONS THAN THESE.
# 16 AND HE BROUGHT ME INTO THE INNER COURT OF THE LORDS HOUSE, AND, BEHOLD,
 AT THE DOOR OF THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD, BETWEEN THE PORCH AND THE ALTAR, WERE
 ABOUT FIVE AND TWENTY MEN, WITH THEIR BACKS TOWARD THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD,
 AND THEIR FACES TOWARD THE EAST; AND THEY WORSHIPPED THE SUN TOWARD THE EAST.
# 17 THEN HE SAID UNTO ME, HAST THOU SEEN THIS, O SON OF MAN? IS IT A LIGHT
 THING TO THE HOUSE OF JUDAH THAT THEY COMMIT THE ABOMINATIONS WHICH THEY
 COMMIT HERE? FOR THEY HAVE FILLED THE LAND WITH VIOLENCE, AND HAVE RETURNED
 TO PROVOKE ME TO ANGER: AND, LO, THEY PUT THE BRANCH TO THEIR NOSE.
# 18 THEREFORE WILL I ALSO DEAL IN FURY: MINE EYE SHALL NOT SPARE, NEITHER
 WILL I HAVE PITY: AND THOUGH THEY CRY IN MINE EARS WITH A LOUD VOICE, YET
 WILL I NOT HEAR THEM.
= CHAPTER 9 
# 1 HE CRIED ALSO IN MINE EARS WITH A LOUD VOICE, SAYING, CAUSE THEM THAT HAVE
 CHARGE OVER THE CITY TO DRAW NEAR, EVEN EVERY MAN WITH HIS DESTROYING WEAPON
 IN HIS HAND.
# 2 AND, BEHOLD, SIX MEN CAME FROM THE WAY OF THE HIGHER GATE, WHICH LIETH
 TOWARD THE NORTH, AND EVERY MAN A SLAUGHTER WEAPON IN HIS HAND; AND ONE MAN
 AMONG THEM WAS CLOTHED WITH LINEN, WITH A WRITERS INKHORN BY HIS SIDE: AND
 THEY WENT IN, AND STOOD BESIDE THE BRASEN ALTAR.
# 3 AND THE GLORY OF THE GOD OF ISRAEL WAS GONE UP FROM THE CHERUB, WHEREUPON
 HE WAS, TO THE THRESHOLD OF THE HOUSE. AND HE CALLED TO THE MAN CLOTHED WITH
 LINEN, WHICH HAD THE WRITERS INKHORN BY HIS SIDE;
# 4 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO HIM, GO THROUGH THE MIDST OF THE CITY, THROUGH THE
 MIDST OF JERUSALEM, AND SET A MARK UPON THE FOREHEADS OF THE MEN THAT SIGH
 AND THAT CRY FOR ALL THE ABOMINATIONS THAT BE DONE IN THE MIDST THEREOF.
# 5 AND TO THE OTHERS HE SAID IN MINE HEARING, GO YE AFTER HIM THROUGH THE
 CITY, AND SMITE: LET NOT YOUR EYE SPARE, NEITHER HAVE YE PITY:
# 6 SLAY UTTERLY OLD AND YOUNG, BOTH MAIDS, AND LITTLE CHILDREN, AND WOMEN:
 BUT COME NOT NEAR ANY MAN UPON WHOM IS THE MARK; AND BEGIN AT MY SANCTUARY.
 THEN THEY BEGAN AT THE ANCIENT MEN WHICH WERE BEFORE THE HOUSE.
# 7 AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, DEFILE THE HOUSE, AND FILL THE COURTS WITH THE
 SLAIN: GO YE FORTH. AND THEY WENT FORTH, AND SLEW IN THE CITY.
# 8 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHILE THEY WERE SLAYING THEM, AND I WAS LEFT, THAT I
 FELL UPON MY FACE, AND CRIED, AND SAID, AH LORD GOD! WILT THOU DESTROY ALL
 THE RESIDUE OF ISRAEL IN THY POURING OUT OF THY FURY UPON JERUSALEM?
# 9 THEN SAID HE UNTO ME, THE INIQUITY OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH IS
 EXCEEDING GREAT, AND THE LAND IS FULL OF BLOOD, AND THE CITY FULL OF
 PERVERSENESS: FOR THEY SAY, THE LORD HATH FORSAKEN THE EARTH, AND THE LORD
 SEETH NOT.
# 10 AND AS FOR ME ALSO, MINE EYE SHALL NOT SPARE, NEITHER WILL I HAVE PITY,
 BUT I WILL RECOMPENSE THEIR WAY UPON THEIR HEAD.
# 11 AND, BEHOLD, THE MAN CLOTHED WITH LINEN, WHICH HAD THE INKHORN BY HIS
 SIDE, REPORTED THE MATTER, SAYING, I HAVE DONE AS THOU HAST COMMANDED ME.
= CHAPTER 10 
# 1 THEN I LOOKED, AND, BEHOLD, IN THE FIRMAMENT THAT WAS ABOVE THE HEAD OF
 THE CHERUBIMS THERE APPEARED OVER THEM AS IT WERE A SAPPHIRE STONE, AS THE
 APPEARANCE OF THE LIKENESS OF A THRONE.
# 2 AND HE SPAKE UNTO THE MAN CLOTHED WITH LINEN, AND SAID, GO IN BETWEEN THE
 WHEELS, EVEN UNDER THE CHERUB, AND FILL THINE HAND WITH COALS OF FIRE FROM
 BETWEEN THE CHERUBIMS, AND SCATTER THEM OVER THE CITY. AND HE WENT IN IN MY
 SIGHT.
# 3 NOW THE CHERUBIMS STOOD ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HOUSE, WHEN THE MAN WENT
 IN; AND THE CLOUD FILLED THE INNER COURT.
# 4 THEN THE GLORY OF THE LORD WENT UP FROM THE CHERUB, AND STOOD OVER THE
 THRESHOLD OF THE HOUSE; AND THE HOUSE WAS FILLED WITH THE CLOUD, AND THE
 COURT WAS FULL OF THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE LORDS GLORY.
# 5 AND THE SOUND OF THE CHERUBIMS WINGS WAS HEARD EVEN TO THE OUTER COURT,
 AS THE VOICE OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD WHEN HE SPEAKETH.
# 6 AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT WHEN HE HAD COMMANDED THE MAN CLOTHED WITH
 LINEN, SAYING, TAKE FIRE FROM BETWEEN THE WHEELS, FROM BETWEEN THE CHERUBIMS;
 THEN HE WENT IN, AND STOOD BESIDE THE WHEELS.
# 7 AND ONE CHERUB STRETCHED FORTH HIS HAND FROM BETWEEN THE CHERUBIMS UNTO
 THE FIRE THAT WAS BETWEEN THE CHERUBIMS, AND TOOK THEREOF, AND PUT IT INTO
 THE HANDS OF HIM THAT WAS CLOTHED WITH LINEN: WHO TOOK IT, AND WENT OUT.
# 8 AND THERE APPEARED IN THE CHERUBIMS THE FORM OF A MANS HAND UNDER THEIR
 WINGS.
# 9 AND WHEN I LOOKED, BEHOLD THE FOUR WHEELS BY THE CHERUBIMS, ONE WHEEL BY
 ONE CHERUB, AND ANOTHER WHEEL BY ANOTHER CHERUB: AND THE APPEARANCE OF THE
 WHEELS WAS AS THE COLOUR OF A BERYL STONE.
# 10 AND AS FOR THEIR APPEARANCES, THEY FOUR HAD ONE LIKENESS, AS IF A WHEEL
 HAD BEEN IN THE MIDST OF A WHEEL.
# 11 WHEN THEY WENT, THEY WENT UPON THEIR FOUR SIDES; THEY TURNED NOT AS THEY
 WENT, BUT TO THE PLACE WHITHER THE HEAD LOOKED THEY FOLLOWED IT; THEY TURNED
 NOT AS THEY WENT.
# 12 AND THEIR WHOLE BODY, AND THEIR BACKS, AND THEIR HANDS, AND THEIR WINGS,
 AND THE WHEELS, WERE FULL OF EYES ROUND ABOUT, EVEN THE WHEELS THAT THEY FOUR
 HAD.
# 13 AS FOR THE WHEELS, IT WAS CRIED UNTO THEM IN MY HEARING, O WHEEL.
# 14 AND EVERY ONE HAD FOUR FACES: THE FIRST FACE WAS THE FACE OF A CHERUB,
 AND THE SECOND FACE WAS THE FACE OF A MAN, AND THE THIRD THE FACE OF A LION,
 AND THE FOURTH THE FACE OF AN EAGLE.
# 15 AND THE CHERUBIMS WERE LIFTED UP. THIS IS THE LIVING CREATURE THAT I SAW
 BY THE RIVER OF CHEBAR.
# 16 AND WHEN THE CHERUBIMS WENT, THE WHEELS WENT BY THEM: AND WHEN THE
 CHERUBIMS LIFTED UP THEIR WINGS TO MOUNT UP FROM THE EARTH, THE SAME WHEELS
 ALSO TURNED NOT FROM BESIDE THEM.
# 17 WHEN THEY STOOD, THESE STOOD; AND WHEN THEY WERE LIFTED UP, THESE LIFTED
 UP THEMSELVES ALSO: FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING CREATURE WAS IN THEM.
# 18 THEN THE GLORY OF THE LORD DEPARTED FROM OFF THE THRESHOLD OF THE HOUSE,
 AND STOOD OVER THE CHERUBIMS.
# 19 AND THE CHERUBIMS LIFTED UP THEIR WINGS, AND MOUNTED UP FROM THE EARTH
 IN MY SIGHT: WHEN THEY WENT OUT, THE WHEELS ALSO WERE BESIDE THEM, AND EVERY
 ONE STOOD AT THE DOOR OF THE EAST GATE OF THE LORDS HOUSE; AND THE GLORY OF
 THE GOD OF ISRAEL WAS OVER THEM ABOVE.
# 20 THIS IS THE LIVING CREATURE THAT I SAW UNDER THE GOD OF ISRAEL BY THE
 RIVER OF CHEBAR; AND I KNEW THAT THEY WERE THE CHERUBIMS.
# 21 EVERY ONE HAD FOUR FACES APIECE, AND EVERY ONE FOUR WINGS; AND THE
 LIKENESS OF THE HANDS OF A MAN WAS UNDER THEIR WINGS.
# 22 AND THE LIKENESS OF THEIR FACES WAS THE SAME FACES WHICH I SAW BY THE
 RIVER OF CHEBAR, THEIR APPEARANCES AND THEMSELVES: THEY WENT EVERY ONE
 STRAIGHT FORWARD.
= CHAPTER 11 
# 1 MOREOVER THE SPIRIT LIFTED ME UP, AND BROUGHT ME UNTO THE EAST GATE OF THE
 LORDS HOUSE, WHICH LOOKETH EASTWARD: AND BEHOLD AT THE DOOR OF THE GATE FIVE
 AND TWENTY MEN; AMONG WHOM I SAW JAAZANIAH THE SON OF AZUR, AND PELATIAH THE
 SON OF BENAIAH, PRINCES OF THE PEOPLE.
# 2 THEN SAID HE UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, THESE ARE THE MEN THAT DEVISE MISCHIEF,
 AND GIVE WICKED COUNSEL IN THIS CITY:
# 3 WHICH SAY, IT IS NOT NEAR; LET US BUILD HOUSES: THIS CITY IS THE CALDRON,
 AND WE BE THE FLESH.
# 4 THEREFORE PROPHESY AGAINST THEM, PROPHESY, O SON OF MAN.
# 5 AND THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD FELL UPON ME, AND SAID UNTO ME, SPEAK; THUS
 SAITH THE LORD; THUS HAVE YE SAID, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL: FOR I KNOW THE THINGS
 THAT COME INTO YOUR MIND, EVERY ONE OF THEM.
# 6 YE HAVE MULTIPLIED YOUR SLAIN IN THIS CITY, AND YE HAVE FILLED THE
 STREETS THEREOF WITH THE SLAIN.
# 7 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; YOUR SLAIN WHOM YE HAVE LAID IN THE
 MIDST OF IT, THEY ARE THE FLESH, AND THIS CITY IS THE CALDRON: BUT I WILL
 BRING YOU FORTH OUT OF THE MIDST OF IT.
# 8 YE HAVE FEARED THE SWORD; AND I WILL BRING A SWORD UPON YOU, SAITH THE
 LORD GOD.
# 9 AND I WILL BRING YOU OUT OF THE MIDST THEREOF, AND DELIVER YOU INTO THE
 HANDS OF STRANGERS, AND WILL EXECUTE JUDGMENTS AMONG YOU.
# 10 YE SHALL FALL BY THE SWORD; I WILL JUDGE YOU IN THE BORDER OF ISRAEL;
 AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
# 11 THIS CITY SHALL NOT BE YOUR CALDRON, NEITHER SHALL YE BE THE FLESH IN
 THE MIDST THEREOF; BUT I WILL JUDGE YOU IN THE BORDER OF ISRAEL:
# 12 AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD: FOR YE HAVE NOT WALKED IN MY
 STATUTES, NEITHER EXECUTED MY JUDGMENTS, BUT HAVE DONE AFTER THE MANNERS OF
 THE HEATHEN THAT ARE ROUND ABOUT YOU.
# 13 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN I PROPHESIED, THAT PELATIAH THE SON OF BENAIAH
 DIED. THEN FELL I DOWN UPON MY FACE, AND CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE, AND SAID,
 AH LORD GOD! WILT THOU MAKE A FULL END OF THE REMNANT OF ISRAEL?
# 14 AGAIN THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 15 SON OF MAN, THY BRETHREN, EVEN THY BRETHREN, THE MEN OF THY KINDRED, AND
 ALL THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL WHOLLY, ARE THEY UNTO WHOM THE INHABITANTS OF
 JERUSALEM HAVE SAID, GET YOU FAR FROM THE LORD: UNTO US IS THIS LAND GIVEN IN
 POSSESSION.
# 16 THEREFORE SAY, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; ALTHOUGH I HAVE CAST THEM FAR
 OFF AMONG THE HEATHEN, AND ALTHOUGH I HAVE SCATTERED THEM AMONG THE
 COUNTRIES, YET WILL I BE TO THEM AS A LITTLE SANCTUARY IN THE COUNTRIES WHERE
 THEY SHALL COME.
# 17 THEREFORE SAY, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; I WILL EVEN GATHER YOU FROM THE
 PEOPLE, AND ASSEMBLE YOU OUT OF THE COUNTRIES WHERE YE HAVE BEEN SCATTERED,
 AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
# 18 AND THEY SHALL COME THITHER, AND THEY SHALL TAKE AWAY ALL THE DETESTABLE
 THINGS THEREOF AND ALL THE ABOMINATIONS THEREOF FROM THENCE.
# 19 AND I WILL GIVE THEM ONE HEART, AND I WILL PUT A NEW SPIRIT WITHIN YOU;
 AND I WILL TAKE THE STONY HEART OUT OF THEIR FLESH, AND WILL GIVE THEM AN
 HEART OF FLESH:
# 20 THAT THEY MAY WALK IN MY STATUTES, AND KEEP MINE ORDINANCES, AND DO
 THEM: AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE, AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD.
# 21 BUT AS FOR THEM WHOSE HEART WALKETH AFTER THE HEART OF THEIR DETESTABLE
 THINGS AND THEIR ABOMINATIONS, I WILL RECOMPENSE THEIR WAY UPON THEIR OWN
 HEADS, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 22 THEN DID THE CHERUBIMS LIFT UP THEIR WINGS, AND THE WHEELS BESIDE THEM;
 AND THE GLORY OF THE GOD OF ISRAEL WAS OVER THEM ABOVE.
# 23 AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD WENT UP FROM THE MIDST OF THE CITY, AND STOOD
 UPON THE MOUNTAIN WHICH IS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE CITY.
# 24 AFTERWARDS THE SPIRIT TOOK ME UP, AND BROUGHT ME IN A VISION BY THE
 SPIRIT OF GOD INTO CHALDEA, TO THEM OF THE CAPTIVITY. SO THE VISION THAT I
 HAD SEEN WENT UP FROM ME.
# 25 THEN I SPAKE UNTO THEM OF THE CAPTIVITY ALL THE THINGS THAT THE LORD HAD
 SHEWED ME.
= CHAPTER 12 
# 1 THE WORD OF THE LORD ALSO CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 2 SON OF MAN, THOU DWELLEST IN THE MIDST OF A REBELLIOUS HOUSE, WHICH HAVE
 EYES TO SEE, AND SEE NOT; THEY HAVE EARS TO HEAR, AND HEAR NOT: FOR THEY ARE
 A REBELLIOUS HOUSE.
# 3 THEREFORE, THOU SON OF MAN, PREPARE THEE STUFF FOR REMOVING, AND REMOVE
 BY DAY IN THEIR SIGHT; AND THOU SHALT REMOVE FROM THY PLACE TO ANOTHER PLACE
 IN THEIR SIGHT: IT MAY BE THEY WILL CONSIDER, THOUGH THEY BE A REBELLIOUS
 HOUSE.
# 4 THEN SHALT THOU BRING FORTH THY STUFF BY DAY IN THEIR SIGHT, AS STUFF FOR
 REMOVING: AND THOU SHALT GO FORTH AT EVEN IN THEIR SIGHT, AS THEY THAT GO
 FORTH INTO CAPTIVITY.
# 5 DIG THOU THROUGH THE WALL IN THEIR SIGHT, AND CARRY OUT THEREBY.
# 6 IN THEIR SIGHT SHALT THOU BEAR IT UPON THY SHOULDERS, AND CARRY IT FORTH
 IN THE TWILIGHT: THOU SHALT COVER THY FACE, THAT THOU SEE NOT THE GROUND: FOR
 I HAVE SET THEE FOR A SIGN UNTO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.
# 7 AND I DID SO AS I WAS COMMANDED: I BROUGHT FORTH MY STUFF BY DAY, AS
 STUFF FOR CAPTIVITY, AND IN THE EVEN I DIGGED THROUGH THE WALL WITH MINE
 HAND; I BROUGHT IT FORTH IN THE TWILIGHT, AND I BARE IT UPON MY SHOULDER IN
 THEIR SIGHT.
# 8 AND IN THE MORNING CAME THE WORD OF THE LORD UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 9 SON OF MAN, HATH NOT THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, THE REBELLIOUS HOUSE, SAID UNTO
 THEE, WHAT DOEST THOU?
# 10 SAY THOU UNTO THEM, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; THIS BURDEN CONCERNETH THE
 PRINCE IN JERUSALEM, AND ALL THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL THAT ARE AMONG THEM.
# 11 SAY, I AM YOUR SIGN: LIKE AS I HAVE DONE, SO SHALL IT BE DONE UNTO THEM:
 THEY SHALL REMOVE AND GO INTO CAPTIVITY.
# 12 AND THE PRINCE THAT IS AMONG THEM SHALL BEAR UPON HIS SHOULDER IN THE
 TWILIGHT, AND SHALL GO FORTH: THEY SHALL DIG THROUGH THE WALL TO CARRY OUT
 THEREBY: HE SHALL COVER HIS FACE, THAT HE SEE NOT THE GROUND WITH HIS EYES.
# 13 MY NET ALSO WILL I SPREAD UPON HIM, AND HE SHALL BE TAKEN IN MY SNARE:
 AND I WILL BRING HIM TO BABYLON TO THE LAND OF THE CHALDEANS; YET SHALL HE
 NOT SEE IT, THOUGH HE SHALL DIE THERE.
# 14 AND I WILL SCATTER TOWARD EVERY WIND ALL THAT ARE ABOUT HIM TO HELP HIM,
 AND ALL HIS BANDS; AND I WILL DRAW OUT THE SWORD AFTER THEM.
# 15 AND THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD, WHEN I SHALL SCATTER THEM AMONG
 THE NATIONS, AND DISPERSE THEM IN THE COUNTRIES.
# 16 BUT I WILL LEAVE A FEW MEN OF THEM FROM THE SWORD, FROM THE FAMINE, AND
 FROM THE PESTILENCE; THAT THEY MAY DECLARE ALL THEIR ABOMINATIONS AMONG THE
 HEATHEN WHITHER THEY COME; AND THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
# 17 MOREOVER THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO ME, SAYING,
# 18 SON OF MAN, EAT THY BREAD WITH QUAKING, AND DRINK THY WATER WITH
 TREMBLING AND WITH CAREFULNESS;
# 19 AND SAY UNTO THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD OF THE
 INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM, AND OF THE LAND OF ISRAEL; THEY SHALL EAT THEIR
 BREAD WITH CAREFULNESS, AND DRINK THEIR WATER WITH ASTONISHMENT, THAT HER
 LAND MAY BE DESOLATE FROM ALL THAT IS THEREIN, BECAUSE OF THE VIOLENCE OF ALL
 THEM THAT DWELL THEREIN.
# 20 AND THE CITIES THAT ARE INHABITED SHALL BE LAID WASTE, AND THE LAND
 SHALL BE DESOLATE; AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
# 21 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING, IT
# 22 SON OF MAN, WHAT IS THAT PROVERB THAT YE HAVE IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL,
 SAYING, THE DAYS ARE PROLONGED, AND EVERY VISION FAILETH?
# 23 TELL THEM THEREFORE, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; I WILL MAKE THIS PROVERB
 TO CEASE, AND THEY SHALL NO MORE USE IT AS A PROVERB IN ISRAEL; BUT SAY UNTO
 THEM, THE DAYS ARE AT HAND, AND THE EFFECT OF EVERY VISION.
# 24 FOR THERE SHALL BE NO MORE ANY VAIN VISION NOR FLATTERING DIVINATION
 WITHIN THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.
# 25 FOR I AM THE LORD: I WILL SPEAK, AND THE WORD THAT I SHALL SPEAK SHALL
 COME TO PASS; IT SHALL BE NO MORE PROLONGED: FOR IN YOUR DAYS, O REBELLIOUS
 HOUSE, WILL I SAY THE WORD, AND WILL PERFORM IT, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 26 AGAIN THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO ME, SAYING.
# 27 SON OF MAN, BEHOLD, THEY OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL SAY, THE VISION THAT HE
 SEETH IS FOR MANY DAYS TO COME, AND HE PROPHESIETH OF THE TIMES THAT ARE FAR
 OFF.
# 28 THEREFORE SAY UNTO THEM, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; THERE SHALL NONE OF MY
 WORDS BE PROLONGED ANY MORE, BUT THE WORD WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN SHALL BE DONE,
 SAITH THE LORD GOD.
= CHAPTER 13 
# 1 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 2 SON OF MAN, PROPHESY AGAINST THE PROPHETS OF ISRAEL THAT PROPHESY, AND
 SAY THOU UNTO THEM THAT PROPHESY OUT OF THEIR OWN HEARTS, HEAR YE THE WORD OF
 THE LORD;
# 3 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; WOE UNTO THE FOOLISH PROPHETS, THAT FOLLOW THEIR
 OWN SPIRIT, AND HAVE SEEN NOTHING!
# 4 O ISRAEL, THY PROPHETS ARE LIKE THE FOXES IN THE DESERTS.
# 5 YE HAVE NOT GONE UP INTO THE GAPS, NEITHER MADE UP THE HEDGE FOR THE
 HOUSE OF ISRAEL TO STAND IN THE BATTLE IN THE DAY OF THE LORD.
# 6 THEY HAVE SEEN VANITY AND LYING DIVINATION, SAYING, THE LORD SAITH: AND
 THE LORD HATH NOT SENT THEM: AND THEY HAVE MADE OTHERS TO HOPE THAT THEY
 WOULD CONFIRM THE WORD.
# 7 HAVE YE NOT SEEN A VAIN VISION, AND HAVE YE NOT SPOKEN A LYING
 DIVINATION, WHEREAS YE SAY, THE LORD SAITH IT; ALBEIT I HAVE NOT SPOKEN?
# 8 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BECAUSE YE HAVE SPOKEN VANITY, AND
 SEEN LIES, THEREFORE, BEHOLD, I AM AGAINST YOU, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 9 AND MINE HAND SHALL BE UPON THE PROPHETS THAT SEE VANITY, AND THAT DIVINE
 LIES: THEY SHALL NOT BE IN THE ASSEMBLY OF MY PEOPLE, NEITHER SHALL THEY BE
 WRITTEN IN THE WRITING OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, NEITHER SHALL THEY ENTER INTO
 THE LAND OF ISRAEL; AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD GOD.
# 10 BECAUSE, EVEN BECAUSE THEY HAVE SEDUCED MY PEOPLE, SAYING, PEACE; AND
 THERE WAS NO PEACE; AND ONE BUILT UP A WALL, AND, LO, OTHERS DAUBED IT WITH
 UNTEMPERED MORTER:
# 11 SAY UNTO THEM WHICH DAUB IT WITH UNTEMPERED MORTER, THAT IT SHALL FALL:
 THERE SHALL BE AN OVERFLOWING SHOWER; AND YE, O GREAT HAILSTONES, SHALL FALL;
 AND A STORMY WIND SHALL REND IT.
# 12 LO, WHEN THE WALL IS FALLEN, SHALL IT NOT BE SAID UNTO YOU, WHERE IS THE
 DAUBING WHEREWITH YE HAVE DAUBED IT?
# 13 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; I WILL EVEN REND IT WITH A STORMY
 WIND IN MY FURY; AND THERE SHALL BE AN OVERFLOWING SHOWER IN MINE ANGER, AND
 GREAT HAILSTONES IN MY FURY TO CONSUME IT.
# 14 SO WILL I BREAK DOWN THE WALL THAT YE HAVE DAUBED WITH UNTEMPERED
 MORTER, AND BRING IT DOWN TO THE GROUND, SO THAT THE FOUNDATION THEREOF SHALL
 BE DISCOVERED, AND IT SHALL FALL, AND YE SHALL BE CONSUMED IN THE MIDST
 THEREOF: AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
# 15 THUS WILL I ACCOMPLISH MY WRATH UPON THE WALL, AND UPON THEM THAT HAVE
 DAUBED IT WITH UNTEMPERED MORTER, AND WILL SAY UNTO YOU, THE WALL IS NO MORE,
 NEITHER THEY THAT DAUBED IT;
# 16 TO WIT, THE PROPHETS OF ISRAEL WHICH PROPHESY CONCERNING JERUSALEM, AND
 WHICH SEE VISIONS OF PEACE FOR HER, AND THERE IS NO PEACE, SAITH THE LORD
 GOD.
# 17 LIKEWISE, THOU SON OF MAN, SET THY FACE AGAINST THE DAUGHTERS OF THY
 PEOPLE, WHICH PROPHESY OUT OF THEIR OWN HEART; AND PROPHESY THOU AGAINST
 THEM,
# 18 AND SAY, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; WOE TO THE WOMEN THAT SEW PILLOWS TO
 ALL ARMHOLES, AND MAKE KERCHIEFS UPON THE HEAD OF EVERY STATURE TO HUNT
 SOULS! WILL YE HUNT THE SOULS OF MY PEOPLE, AND WILL YE SAVE THE SOULS ALIVE
 THAT COME UNTO YOU?
# 19 AND WILL YE POLLUTE ME AMONG MY PEOPLE FOR HANDFULS OF BARLEY AND FOR
 PIECES OF BREAD, TO SLAY THE SOULS THAT SHOULD NOT DIE, AND TO SAVE THE SOULS
 ALIVE THAT SHOULD NOT LIVE, BY YOUR LYING TO MY PEOPLE THAT HEAR YOUR LIES?
# 20 WHEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BEHOLD, I AM AGAINST YOUR PILLOWS,
 WHEREWITH YE THERE HUNT THE SOULS TO MAKE THEM FLY, AND I WILL TEAR THEM FROM
 YOUR ARMS, AND WILL LET THE SOULS GO, EVEN THE SOULS THAT YE HUNT TO MAKE
 THEM FLY.
# 21 YOUR KERCHIEFS ALSO WILL I TEAR, AND DELIVER MY PEOPLE OUT OF YOUR HAND,
 AND THEY SHALL BE NO MORE IN YOUR HAND TO BE HUNTED; AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I
 AM THE LORD.
# 22 BECAUSE WITH LIES YE HAVE MADE THE HEART OF THE RIGHTEOUS SAD, WHOM I
 HAVE NOT MADE SAD; AND STRENGTHENED THE HANDS OF THE WICKED, THAT HE SHOULD
 NOT RETURN FROM HIS WICKED WAY, BY PROMISING HIM LIFE:
# 23 THEREFORE YE SHALL SEE NO MORE VANITY, NOR DIVINE DIVINATIONS: FOR I
 WILL DELIVER MY PEOPLE OUT OF YOUR HAND: AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE
 LORD.
= CHAPTER 14 
# 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.
= CHAPTER 15 
# 1 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 2 SON OF MAN, WHAT IS THE VINE TREE MORE THAN ANY TREE, OR THAN A BRANCH
 WHICH IS AMONG THE TREES OF THE FOREST?
# 3 SHALL WOOD BE TAKEN THEREOF TO DO ANY WORK? OR WILL MEN TAKE A PIN OF IT
 TO HANG ANY VESSEL THEREON?
# 4 BEHOLD, IT IS CAST INTO THE FIRE FOR FUEL; THE FIRE DEVOURETH BOTH THE
 ENDS OF IT, AND THE MIDST OF IT IS BURNED. IS IT MEET FOR ANY WORK?
# 5 BEHOLD, WHEN IT WAS WHOLE, IT WAS MEET FOR NO WORK: HOW MUCH LESS SHALL
 IT BE MEET YET FOR ANY WORK, WHEN THE FIRE HATH DEVOURED IT, AND IT IS
 BURNED?
# 6 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; AS THE VINE TREE AMONG THE TREES OF
 THE FOREST, WHICH I HAVE GIVEN TO THE FIRE FOR FUEL, SO WILL I GIVE THE
 INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM.
# 7 AND I WILL SET MY FACE AGAINST THEM; THEY SHALL GO OUT FROM ONE FIRE, AND
 ANOTHER FIRE SHALL DEVOUR THEM; AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD, WHEN I
 SET MY FACE AGAINST THEM.
# 8 AND I WILL MAKE THE LAND DESOLATE, BECAUSE THEY HAVE COMMITTED A
 TRESPASS, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
= CHAPTER 16 
# 1 AGAIN THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 2 SON OF MAN, CAUSE JERUSALEM TO KNOW HER ABOMINATIONS,
# 3 AND SAY, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD UNTO JERUSALEM; THY BIRTH AND THY
 NATIVITY IS OF THE LAND OF CANAAN; THY FATHER WAS AN AMORITE, AND THY MOTHER
 AN HITTITE.
# 4 AND AS FOR THY NATIVITY, IN THE DAY THOU WAST BORN THY NAVEL WAS NOT CUT,
 NEITHER WAST THOU WASHED IN WATER TO SUPPLE THEE; THOU WAST NOT SALTED AT
 ALL, NOR SWADDLED AT ALL.
# 5 NONE EYE PITIED THEE, TO DO ANY OF THESE UNTO THEE, TO HAVE COMPASSION
 UPON THEE; BUT THOU WAST CAST OUT IN THE OPEN FIELD, TO THE LOTHING OF THY
 PERSON, IN THE DAY THAT THOU WAST BORN.
# 6 AND WHEN I PASSED BY THEE, AND SAW THEE POLLUTED IN THINE OWN BLOOD, I
 SAID UNTO THEE WHEN THOU WAST IN THY BLOOD, LIVE; YEA, I SAID UNTO THEE WHEN
 THOU WAST IN THY BLOOD, LIVE.
# 7 I HAVE CAUSED THEE TO MULTIPLY AS THE BUD OF THE FIELD, AND THOU HAST
 INCREASED AND WAXEN GREAT, AND THOU ART COME TO EXCELLENT ORNAMENTS: THY
 BREASTS ARE FASHIONED, AND THINE HAIR IS GROWN, WHEREAS THOU WAST NAKED AND
 BARE.
# 8 NOW WHEN I PASSED BY THEE, AND LOOKED UPON THEE, BEHOLD, THY TIME WAS THE
 TIME OF LOVE; AND I SPREAD MY SKIRT OVER THEE, AND COVERED THY NAKEDNESS:
 YEA, I SWARE UNTO THEE, AND ENTERED INTO A COVENANT WITH THEE, SAITH THE LORD
 GOD, AND THOU BECAMEST MINE.
# 9 THEN WASHED I THEE WITH WATER; YEA, I THROUGHLY WASHED AWAY THY BLOOD
 FROM THEE, AND I ANOINTED THEE WITH OIL.
# 10 I CLOTHED THEE ALSO WITH BROIDERED WORK, AND SHOD THEE WITH BADGERS
 SKIN, AND I GIRDED THEE ABOUT WITH FINE LINEN, AND I COVERED THEE WITH SILK.
# 11 I DECKED THEE ALSO WITH ORNAMENTS, AND I PUT BRACELETS UPON THY HANDS,
 AND A CHAIN ON THY NECK.
# 12 AND I PUT A JEWEL ON THY FOREHEAD, AND EARRINGS IN THINE EARS, AND A
 BEAUTIFUL CROWN UPON THINE HEAD.
# 13 THUS WAST THOU DECKED WITH GOLD AND SILVER; AND THY RAIMENT WAS OF FINE
 LINEN, AND SILK, AND BROIDERED WORK; THOU DIDST EAT FINE FLOUR, AND HONEY,
 AND OIL: AND THOU WAST EXCEEDING BEAUTIFUL, AND THOU DIDST PROSPER INTO A
 KINGDOM.
# 14 AND THY RENOWN WENT FORTH AMONG THE HEATHEN FOR THY BEAUTY: FOR IT WAS
 PERFECT THROUGH MY COMELINESS, WHICH I HAD PUT UPON THEE, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 15 BUT THOU DIDST TRUST IN THINE OWN BEAUTY, AND PLAYEDST THE HARLOT
 BECAUSE OF THY RENOWN, AND POUREDST OUT THY FORNICATIONS ON EVERY ONE THAT
 PASSED BY; HIS IT WAS.
# 16 AND OF THY GARMENTS THOU DIDST TAKE, AND DECKEDST THY HIGH PLACES WITH
 DIVERS COLOURS, AND PLAYEDST THE HARLOT THEREUPON: THE LIKE THINGS SHALL NOT
 COME, NEITHER SHALL IT BE SO.
# 17 THOU HAST ALSO TAKEN THY FAIR JEWELS OF MY GOLD AND OF MY SILVER, WHICH
 I HAD GIVEN THEE, AND MADEST TO THYSELF IMAGES OF MEN, AND DIDST COMMIT
 WHOREDOM WITH THEM,
# 18 AND TOOKEST THY BROIDERED GARMENTS, AND COVEREDST THEM: AND THOU HAST
 SET MINE OIL AND MINE INCENSE BEFORE THEM.
# 19 MY MEAT ALSO WHICH I GAVE THEE, FINE FLOUR, AND OIL, AND HONEY,
 WHEREWITH I FED THEE, THOU HAST EVEN SET IT BEFORE THEM FOR A SWEET SAVOUR:
 AND THUS IT WAS, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 20 MOREOVER THOU HAST TAKEN THY SONS AND THY DAUGHTERS, WHOM THOU HAST
 BORNE UNTO ME, AND THESE HAST THOU SACRIFICED UNTO THEM TO BE DEVOURED. IS
 THIS OF THY WHOREDOMS A SMALL MATTER,
# 21 THAT THOU HAST SLAIN MY CHILDREN, AND DELIVERED THEM TO CAUSE THEM TO
 PASS THROUGH THE FIRE FOR THEM?
# 22 AND IN ALL THINE ABOMINATIONS AND THY WHOREDOMS THOU HAST NOT REMEMBERED
 THE DAYS OF THY YOUTH, WHEN THOU WAST NAKED AND BARE, AND WAST POLLUTED IN
 THY BLOOD.
# 23 AND IT CAME TO PASS AFTER ALL THY WICKEDNESS, (WOE, WOE UNTO THEE! SAITH
 THE LORD GOD;)
# 24 THAT THOU HAST ALSO BUILT UNTO THEE AN EMINENT PLACE, AND HAST MADE THEE
 AN HIGH PLACE IN EVERY STREET.
# 25 THOU HAST BUILT THY HIGH PLACE AT EVERY HEAD OF THE WAY, AND HAST MADE
 THY BEAUTY TO BE ABHORRED, AND HAST OPENED THY FEET TO EVERY ONE THAT PASSED
 BY, AND MULTIPLIED THY WHOREDOMS.
# 26 THOU HAST ALSO COMMITTED FORNICATION WITH THE EGYPTIANS THY NEIGHBOURS,
 GREAT OF FLESH; AND HAST INCREASED THY WHOREDOMS, TO PROVOKE ME TO ANGER.
# 27 BEHOLD, THEREFORE I HAVE STRETCHED OUT MY HAND OVER THEE, AND HAVE
 DIMINISHED THINE ORDINARY FOOD, AND DELIVERED THEE UNTO THE WILL OF THEM THAT
 HATE THEE, THE DAUGHTERS OF THE PHILISTINES, WHICH ARE ASHAMED OF THY LEWD
 WAY.
# 28 THOU HAST PLAYED THE WHORE ALSO WITH THE ASSYRIANS, BECAUSE THOU WAST
 UNSATIABLE; YEA, THOU HAST PLAYED THE HARLOT WITH THEM, AND YET COULDEST NOT
 BE SATISFIED.
# 29 THOU HAST MOREOVER MULTIPLIED THY FORNICATION IN THE LAND OF CANAAN UNTO
 CHALDEA; AND YET THOU WAST NOT SATISFIED THEREWITH.
# 30 HOW WEAK IS THINE HEART, SAITH THE LORD GOD, SEEING THOU DOEST ALL THESE
 THINGS, THE WORK OF AN IMPERIOUS WHORISH WOMAN;
# 31 IN THAT THOU BUILDEST THINE EMINENT PLACE IN THE HEAD OF EVERY WAY, AND
 MAKEST THINE HIGH PLACE IN EVERY STREET; AND HAST NOT BEEN AS AN HARLOT, IN
 THAT THOU SCORNEST HIRE;
# 32 BUT AS A WIFE THAT COMMITTETH ADULTERY, WHICH TAKETH STRANGERS INSTEAD
 OF HER HUSBAND!
# 33 THEY GIVE GIFTS TO ALL WHORES: BUT THOU GIVEST THY GIFTS TO ALL THY
 LOVERS, AND HIREST THEM, THAT THEY MAY COME UNTO THEE ON EVERY SIDE FOR THY
 WHOREDOM.
# 34 AND THE CONTRARY IS IN THEE FROM OTHER WOMEN IN THY WHOREDOMS, WHEREAS
 NONE FOLLOWETH THEE TO COMMIT WHOREDOMS: AND IN THAT THOU GIVEST A REWARD,
 AND NO REWARD IS GIVEN UNTO THEE, THEREFORE THOU ART CONTRARY.
# 35 WHEREFORE, O HARLOT, HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD:
# 36 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BECAUSE THY FILTHINESS WAS POURED OUT, AND THY
 NAKEDNESS DISCOVERED THROUGH THY WHOREDOMS WITH THY LOVERS, AND WITH ALL THE
 IDOLS OF THY ABOMINATIONS, AND BY THE BLOOD OF THY CHILDREN, WHICH THOU DIDST
 GIVE UNTO THEM;
# 37 BEHOLD, THEREFORE I WILL GATHER ALL THY LOVERS, WITH WHOM THOU HAST
 TAKEN PLEASURE, AND ALL THEM THAT THOU HAST LOVED, WITH ALL THEM THAT THOU
 HAST HATED; I WILL EVEN GATHER THEM ROUND ABOUT AGAINST THEE, AND WILL
 DISCOVER THY NAKEDNESS UNTO THEM, THAT THEY MAY SEE ALL THY NAKEDNESS.
# 38 AND I WILL JUDGE THEE, AS WOMEN THAT BREAK WEDLOCK AND SHED BLOOD ARE
 JUDGED; AND I WILL GIVE THEE BLOOD IN FURY AND JEALOUSY.
# 39 AND I WILL ALSO GIVE THEE INTO THEIR HAND, AND THEY SHALL THROW DOWN
 THINE EMINENT PLACE, AND SHALL BREAK DOWN THY HIGH PLACES: THEY SHALL STRIP
 THEE ALSO OF THY CLOTHES, AND SHALL TAKE THY FAIR JEWELS, AND LEAVE THEE
 NAKED AND BARE.
# 40 THEY SHALL ALSO BRING UP A COMPANY AGAINST THEE, AND THEY SHALL STONE
 THEE WITH STONES, AND THRUST THEE THROUGH WITH THEIR SWORDS.
# 41 AND THEY SHALL BURN THINE HOUSES WITH FIRE, AND EXECUTE JUDGMENTS UPON
 THEE IN THE SIGHT OF MANY WOMEN: AND I WILL CAUSE THEE TO CEASE FROM PLAYING
 THE HARLOT, AND THOU ALSO SHALT GIVE NO HIRE ANY MORE.
# 42 SO WILL I MAKE MY FURY TOWARD THEE TO REST, AND MY JEALOUSY SHALL DEPART
 FROM THEE, AND I WILL BE QUIET, AND WILL BE NO MORE ANGRY.
# 43 BECAUSE THOU HAST NOT REMEMBERED THE DAYS OF THY YOUTH, BUT HAST FRETTED
 ME IN ALL THESE THINGS; BEHOLD, THEREFORE I ALSO WILL RECOMPENSE THY WAY UPON
 THINE HEAD, SAITH THE LORD GOD: AND THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT THIS LEWDNESS ABOVE
 ALL THINE ABOMINATIONS.
# 44 BEHOLD, EVERY ONE THAT USETH PROVERBS SHALL USE THIS PROVERB AGAINST
 THEE, SAYING, AS IS THE MOTHER, SO IS HER DAUGHTER.
# 45 THOU ART THY MOTHERS DAUGHTER, THAT LOTHETH HER HUSBAND AND HER
 CHILDREN; AND THOU ART THE SISTER OF THY SISTERS, WHICH LOTHED THEIR HUSBANDS
 AND THEIR CHILDREN: YOUR MOTHER WAS AN HITTITE, AND YOUR FATHER AN AMORITE.
# 46 AND THINE ELDER SISTER IS SAMARIA, SHE AND HER DAUGHTERS THAT DWELL AT
 THY LEFT HAND: AND THY YOUNGER SISTER, THAT DWELLETH AT THY RIGHT HAND, IS
 SODOM AND HER DAUGHTERS.
# 47 YET HAST THOU NOT WALKED AFTER THEIR WAYS, NOR DONE AFTER THEIR
 ABOMINATIONS: BUT, AS IF THAT WERE A VERY LITTLE THING, THOU WAST CORRUPTED
 MORE THAN THEY IN ALL THY WAYS.
# 48 AS I LIVE, SAITH THE LORD GOD, SODOM THY SISTER HATH NOT DONE, SHE NOR
 HER DAUGHTERS, AS THOU HAST DONE, THOU AND THY DAUGHTERS.
# 49 BEHOLD, THIS WAS THE INIQUITY OF THY SISTER SODOM, PRIDE, FULNESS OF
 BREAD, AND ABUNDANCE OF IDLENESS WAS IN HER AND IN HER DAUGHTERS, NEITHER DID
 SHE STRENGTHEN THE HAND OF THE POOR AND NEEDY.
# 50 AND THEY WERE HAUGHTY, AND COMMITTED ABOMINATION BEFORE ME: THEREFORE I
 TOOK THEM AWAY AS I SAW GOOD.
# 51 NEITHER HATH SAMARIA COMMITTED HALF OF THY SINS; BUT THOU HAST
 MULTIPLIED THINE ABOMINATIONS MORE THAN THEY, AND HAST JUSTIFIED THY SISTERS
 IN ALL THINE ABOMINATIONS WHICH THOU HAST DONE.
# 52 THOU ALSO, WHICH HAST JUDGED THY SISTERS, BEAR THINE OWN SHAME FOR THY
 SINS THAT THOU HAST COMMITTED MORE ABOMINABLE THAN THEY: THEY ARE MORE
 RIGHTEOUS THAN THOU: YEA, BE THOU CONFOUNDED ALSO, AND BEAR THY SHAME, IN
 THAT THOU HAST JUSTIFIED THY SISTERS.
# 53 WHEN I SHALL BRING AGAIN THEIR CAPTIVITY, THE CAPTIVITY OF SODOM AND HER
 DAUGHTERS, AND THE CAPTIVITY OF SAMARIA AND HER DAUGHTERS, THEN WILL I BRING
 AGAIN THE CAPTIVITY OF THY CAPTIVES IN THE MIDST OF THEM:
# 54 THAT THOU MAYEST BEAR THINE OWN SHAME, AND MAYEST BE CONFOUNDED IN ALL
 THAT THOU HAST DONE, IN THAT THOU ART A COMFORT UNTO THEM.
# 55 WHEN THY SISTERS, SODOM AND HER DAUGHTERS, SHALL RETURN TO THEIR FORMER
 ESTATE, AND SAMARIA AND HER DAUGHTERS SHALL RETURN TO THEIR FORMER ESTATE,
 THEN THOU AND THY DAUGHTERS SHALL RETURN TO YOUR FORMER ESTATE.
# 56 FOR THY SISTER SODOM WAS NOT MENTIONED BY THY MOUTH IN THE DAY OF THY
 PRIDE,
# 57 BEFORE THY WICKEDNESS WAS DISCOVERED, AS AT THE TIME OF THY REPROACH OF
 THE DAUGHTERS OF SYRIA, AND ALL THAT ARE ROUND ABOUT HER, THE DAUGHTERS OF
 THE PHILISTINES, WHICH DESPISE THEE ROUND ABOUT.
# 58 THOU HAST BORNE THY LEWDNESS AND THINE ABOMINATIONS, SAITH THE LORD.
# 59 FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; I WILL EVEN DEAL WITH THEE AS THOU HAST
 DONE, WHICH HAST DESPISED THE OATH IN BREAKING THE COVENANT.
# 60 NEVERTHELESS I WILL REMEMBER MY COVENANT WITH THEE IN THE DAYS OF THY
 YOUTH, AND I WILL ESTABLISH UNTO THEE AN EVERLASTING COVENANT.
# 61 THEN THOU SHALT REMEMBER THY WAYS, AND BE ASHAMED, WHEN THOU SHALT
 RECEIVE THY SISTERS, THINE ELDER AND THY YOUNGER: AND I WILL GIVE THEM UNTO
 THEE FOR DAUGHTERS, BUT NOT BY THY COVENANT.
# 62 AND I WILL ESTABLISH MY COVENANT WITH THEE; AND THOU SHALT KNOW THAT I
 AM THE LORD:
# 63 THAT THOU MAYEST REMEMBER, AND BE CONFOUNDED, AND NEVER OPEN THY MOUTH
 ANY MORE BECAUSE OF THY SHAME, WHEN I AM PACIFIED TOWARD THEE FOR ALL THAT
 THOU HAST DONE, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
= CHAPTER 17 
# 1 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 2 SON OF MAN, PUT FORTH A RIDDLE, AND SPEAK A PARABLE UNTO THE HOUSE OF
 ISRAEL;
# 3 AND SAY, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; A GREAT EAGLE WITH GREAT WINGS,
 LONGWINGED, FULL OF FEATHERS, WHICH HAD DIVERS COLOURS, CAME UNTO LEBANON,
 AND TOOK THE HIGHEST BRANCH OF THE CEDAR:
# 4 HE CROPPED OFF THE TOP OF HIS YOUNG TWIGS, AND CARRIED IT INTO A LAND OF
 TRAFFICK; HE SET IT IN A CITY OF MERCHANTS.
# 5 HE TOOK ALSO OF THE SEED OF THE LAND, AND PLANTED IT IN A FRUITFUL FIELD;
 HE PLACED IT BY GREAT WATERS, AND SET IT AS A WILLOW TREE.
# 6 AND IT GREW, AND BECAME A SPREADING VINE OF LOW STATURE, WHOSE BRANCHES
 TURNED TOWARD HIM, AND THE ROOTS THEREOF WERE UNDER HIM: SO IT BECAME A VINE,
 AND BROUGHT FORTH BRANCHES, AND SHOT FORTH SPRIGS.
# 7 THERE WAS ALSO ANOTHER GREAT EAGLE WITH GREAT WINGS AND MANY FEATHERS:
 AND, BEHOLD, THIS VINE DID BEND HER ROOTS TOWARD HIM, AND SHOT FORTH HER
 BRANCHES TOWARD HIM, THAT HE MIGHT WATER IT BY THE FURROWS OF HER PLANTATION.
# 8 IT WAS PLANTED IN A GOOD SOIL BY GREAT WATERS, THAT IT MIGHT BRING FORTH
 BRANCHES, AND THAT IT MIGHT BEAR FRUIT, THAT IT MIGHT BE A GOODLY VINE.
# 9 SAY THOU, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; SHALL IT PROSPER? SHALL HE NOT PULL UP
 THE ROOTS THEREOF, AND CUT OFF THE FRUIT THEREOF, THAT IT WITHER? IT SHALL
 WITHER IN ALL THE LEAVES OF HER SPRING, EVEN WITHOUT GREAT POWER OR MANY
 PEOPLE TO PLUCK IT UP BY THE ROOTS THEREOF.
# 10 YEA, BEHOLD, BEING PLANTED, SHALL IT PROSPER? SHALL IT NOT UTTERLY
 WITHER, WHEN THE EAST WIND TOUCHETH IT? IT SHALL WITHER IN THE FURROWS WHERE
 IT GREW.
# 11 MOREOVER THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 12 SAY NOW TO THE REBELLIOUS HOUSE, KNOW YE NOT WHAT THESE THINGS MEAN?
 TELL THEM, BEHOLD, THE KING OF BABYLON IS COME TO JERUSALEM, AND HATH TAKEN
 THE KING THEREOF, AND THE PRINCES THEREOF, AND LED THEM WITH HIM TO BABYLON;
# 13 AND HATH TAKEN OF THE KINGS SEED, AND MADE A COVENANT WITH HIM, AND HATH
 TAKEN AN OATH OF HIM: HE HATH ALSO TAKEN THE MIGHTY OF THE LAND:
# 14 THAT THE KINGDOM MIGHT BE BASE, THAT IT MIGHT NOT LIFT ITSELF UP, BUT
 THAT BY KEEPING OF HIS COVENANT IT MIGHT STAND.
# 15 BUT HE REBELLED AGAINST HIM IN SENDING HIS AMBASSADORS INTO EGYPT, THAT
 THEY MIGHT GIVE HIM HORSES AND MUCH PEOPLE. SHALL HE PROSPER? SHALL HE ESCAPE
 THAT DOETH SUCH THINGS? OR SHALL HE BREAK THE COVENANT, AND BE DELIVERED?
# 16 AS I LIVE, SAITH THE LORD GOD, SURELY IN THE PLACE WHERE THE KING
 DWELLETH THAT MADE HIM KING, WHOSE OATH HE DESPISED, AND WHOSE COVENANT HE
 BRAKE, EVEN WITH HIM IN THE MIDST OF BABYLON HE SHALL DIE.
# 17 NEITHER SHALL PHARAOH WITH HIS MIGHTY ARMY AND GREAT COMPANY MAKE FOR
 HIM IN THE WAR, BY CASTING UP MOUNTS, AND BUILDING FORTS, TO CUT OFF MANY
 PERSONS:
# 18 SEEING HE DESPISED THE OATH BY BREAKING THE COVENANT, WHEN, LO, HE HAD
 GIVEN HIS HAND, AND HATH DONE ALL THESE THINGS, HE SHALL NOT ESCAPE.
# 19 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; AS I LIVE, SURELY MINE OATH THAT HE
 HATH DESPISED, AND MY COVENANT THAT HE HATH BROKEN, EVEN IT WILL I RECOMPENSE
 UPON HIS OWN HEAD.
# 20 AND I WILL SPREAD MY NET UPON HIM, AND HE SHALL BE TAKEN IN MY SNARE,
 AND I WILL BRING HIM TO BABYLON, AND WILL PLEAD WITH HIM THERE FOR HIS
 TRESPASS THAT HE HATH TRESPASSED AGAINST ME.
# 21 AND ALL HIS FUGITIVES WITH ALL HIS BANDS SHALL FALL BY THE SWORD, AND
 THEY THAT REMAIN SHALL BE SCATTERED TOWARD ALL WINDS: AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT
 I THE LORD HAVE SPOKEN IT.
# 22 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; I WILL ALSO TAKE OF THE HIGHEST BRANCH OF THE
 HIGH CEDAR, AND WILL SET IT; I WILL CROP OFF FROM THE TOP OF HIS YOUNG TWIGS
 A TENDER ONE, AND WILL PLANT IT UPON AN HIGH MOUNTAIN AND EMINENT:
# 23 IN THE MOUNTAIN OF THE HEIGHT OF ISRAEL WILL I PLANT IT: AND IT SHALL
 BRING FORTH BOUGHS, AND BEAR FRUIT, AND BE A GOODLY CEDAR: AND UNDER IT SHALL
 DWELL ALL FOWL OF EVERY WING; IN THE SHADOW OF THE BRANCHES THEREOF SHALL
 THEY DWELL.
# 24 AND ALL THE TREES OF THE FIELD SHALL KNOW THAT I THE LORD HAVE BROUGHT
 DOWN THE HIGH TREE, HAVE EXALTED THE LOW TREE, HAVE DRIED UP THE GREEN TREE,
 AND HAVE MADE THE DRY TREE TO FLOURISH: I THE LORD HAVE SPOKEN AND HAVE DONE
 IT.
= CHAPTER 18 
# 1 THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME AGAIN, SAYING,
# 2 WHAT MEAN YE, THAT YE USE THIS PROVERB CONCERNING THE LAND OF ISRAEL,
 SAYING, THE FATHERS HAVE EATEN SOUR GRAPES, AND THE CHILDRENS TEETH ARE SET
 ON EDGE?
# 3 AS I LIVE, SAITH THE LORD GOD, YE SHALL NOT HAVE OCCASION ANY MORE TO USE
 THIS PROVERB IN ISRAEL.
# 4 BEHOLD, ALL SOULS ARE MINE; AS THE SOUL OF THE FATHER, SO ALSO THE SOUL
 OF THE SON IS MINE: THE SOUL THAT SINNETH, IT SHALL DIE.
# 5 BUT IF A MAN BE JUST, AND DO THAT WHICH IS LAWFUL AND RIGHT,
# 6 AND HATH NOT EATEN UPON THE MOUNTAINS, NEITHER HATH LIFTED UP HIS EYES TO
 THE IDOLS OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, NEITHER HATH DEFILED HIS NEIGHBOURS WIFE,
 NEITHER HATH COME NEAR TO A MENSTRUOUS WOMAN,
# 7 AND HATH NOT OPPRESSED ANY, BUT HATH RESTORED TO THE DEBTOR HIS PLEDGE,
 HATH SPOILED NONE BY VIOLENCE, HATH GIVEN HIS BREAD TO THE HUNGRY, AND HATH
 COVERED THE NAKED WITH A GARMENT;
# 8 HE THAT HATH NOT GIVEN FORTH UPON USURY, NEITHER HATH TAKEN ANY INCREASE,
 THAT HATH WITHDRAWN HIS HAND FROM INIQUITY, HATH EXECUTED TRUE JUDGMENT
 BETWEEN MAN AND MAN,
# 9 HATH WALKED IN MY STATUTES, AND HATH KEPT MY JUDGMENTS, TO DEAL TRULY; HE
 IS JUST, HE SHALL SURELY LIVE, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 10 IF HE BEGET A SON THAT IS A ROBBER, A SHEDDER OF BLOOD, AND THAT DOETH
 THE LIKE TO ANY ONE OF THESE THINGS,
# 11 AND THAT DOETH NOT ANY OF THOSE DUTIES, BUT EVEN HATH EATEN UPON THE
 MOUNTAINS, AND DEFILED HIS NEIGHBOURS WIFE,
# 12 HATH OPPRESSED THE POOR AND NEEDY, HATH SPOILED BY VIOLENCE, HATH NOT
 RESTORED THE PLEDGE, AND HATH LIFTED UP HIS EYES TO THE IDOLS, HATH COMMITTED
 ABOMINATION,
# 13 HATH GIVEN FORTH UPON USURY, AND HATH TAKEN INCREASE: SHALL HE THEN
 LIVE? HE SHALL NOT LIVE: HE HATH DONE ALL THESE ABOMINATIONS; HE SHALL SURELY
 DIE; HIS BLOOD SHALL BE UPON HIM.
# 14 NOW, LO, IF HE BEGET A SON, THAT SEETH ALL HIS FATHERS SINS WHICH HE
 HATH DONE, AND CONSIDERETH, AND DOETH NOT SUCH LIKE,
# 15 THAT HATH NOT EATEN UPON THE MOUNTAINS, NEITHER HATH LIFTED UP HIS EYES
 TO THE IDOLS OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, HATH NOT DEFILED HIS NEIGHBOURS WIFE,
# 16 NEITHER HATH OPPRESSED ANY, HATH NOT WITHHOLDEN THE PLEDGE, NEITHER HATH
 SPOILED BY VIOLENCE, BUT HATH GIVEN HIS BREAD TO THE HUNGRY, AND HATH COVERED
 THE NAKED WITH A GARMENT,
# 17 THAT HATH TAKEN OFF HIS HAND FROM THE POOR, THAT HATH NOT RECEIVED USURY
 NOR INCREASE, HATH EXECUTED MY JUDGMENTS, HATH WALKED IN MY STATUTES; HE
 SHALL NOT DIE FOR THE INIQUITY OF HIS FATHER, HE SHALL SURELY LIVE.
# 18 AS FOR HIS FATHER, BECAUSE HE CRUELLY OPPRESSED, SPOILED HIS BROTHER BY
 VIOLENCE, AND DID THAT WHICH IS NOT GOOD AMONG HIS PEOPLE, LO, EVEN HE SHALL
 DIE IN HIS INIQUITY.
# 19 YET SAY YE, WHY? DOTH NOT THE SON BEAR THE INIQUITY OF THE FATHER? WHEN
 THE SON HATH DONE THAT WHICH IS LAWFUL AND RIGHT, AND HATH KEPT ALL MY
 STATUTES, AND HATH DONE THEM, HE SHALL SURELY LIVE.
# 20 THE SOUL THAT SINNETH, IT SHALL DIE. THE SON SHALL NOT BEAR THE INIQUITY
 OF THE FATHER, NEITHER SHALL THE FATHER BEAR THE INIQUITY OF THE SON: THE
 RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL BE UPON HIM, AND THE WICKEDNESS OF THE
 WICKED SHALL BE UPON HIM.
# 21 BUT IF THE WICKED WILL TURN FROM ALL HIS SINS THAT HE HATH COMMITTED,
 AND KEEP ALL MY STATUTES, AND DO THAT WHICH IS LAWFUL AND RIGHT, HE SHALL
 SURELY LIVE, HE SHALL NOT DIE.
# 22 ALL HIS TRANSGRESSIONS THAT HE HATH COMMITTED, THEY SHALL NOT BE
 MENTIONED UNTO HIM: IN HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT HE HATH DONE HE SHALL LIVE.
# 23 HAVE I ANY PLEASURE AT ALL THAT THE WICKED SHOULD DIE? SAITH THE LORD
 GOD: AND NOT THAT HE SHOULD RETURN FROM HIS WAYS, AND LIVE?
# 24 BUT WHEN THE RIGHTEOUS TURNETH AWAY FROM HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND
 COMMITTETH INIQUITY, AND DOETH ACCORDING TO ALL THE ABOMINATIONS THAT THE
 WICKED MAN DOETH, SHALL HE LIVE? ALL HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT HE HATH DONE
 SHALL NOT BE MENTIONED: IN HIS TRESPASS THAT HE HATH TRESPASSED, AND IN HIS
 SIN THAT HE HATH SINNED, IN THEM SHALL HE DIE.
# 25 YET YE SAY, THE WAY OF THE LORD IS NOT EQUAL. HEAR NOW, O HOUSE OF
 ISRAEL; IS NOT MY WAY EQUAL? ARE NOT YOUR WAYS UNEQUAL?
# 26 WHEN A RIGHTEOUS MAN TURNETH AWAY FROM HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND COMMITTETH
 INIQUITY, AND DIETH IN THEM; FOR HIS INIQUITY THAT HE HATH DONE SHALL HE DIE.
# 27 AGAIN, WHEN THE WICKED MAN TURNETH AWAY FROM HIS WICKEDNESS THAT HE HATH
 COMMITTED, AND DOETH THAT WHICH IS LAWFUL AND RIGHT, HE SHALL SAVE HIS SOUL
 ALIVE.
# 28 BECAUSE HE CONSIDERETH, AND TURNETH AWAY FROM ALL HIS TRANSGRESSIONS
 THAT HE HATH COMMITTED, HE SHALL SURELY LIVE, HE SHALL NOT DIE.
# 29 YET SAITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, THE WAY OF THE LORD IS NOT EQUAL. O HOUSE
 OF ISRAEL, ARE NOT MY WAYS EQUAL? ARE NOT YOUR WAYS UNEQUAL?
# 30 THEREFORE I WILL JUDGE YOU, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL, EVERY ONE ACCORDING TO
 HIS WAYS, SAITH THE LORD GOD. REPENT, AND TURN YOURSELVES FROM ALL YOUR
 TRANSGRESSIONS; SO INIQUITY SHALL NOT BE YOUR RUIN.
# 31 CAST AWAY FROM YOU ALL YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS, WHEREBY YE HAVE
 TRANSGRESSED; AND MAKE YOU A NEW HEART AND A NEW SPIRIT: FOR WHY WILL YE DIE,
 O HOUSE OF ISRAEL?
# 32 FOR I HAVE NO PLEASURE IN THE DEATH OF HIM THAT DIETH, SAITH THE LORD
 GOD: WHEREFORE TURN YOURSELVES, AND LIVE YE.
= CHAPTER 19 
# 1 MOREOVER TAKE THOU UP A LAMENTATION FOR THE PRINCES OF ISRAEL,
# 2 AND SAY, WHAT IS THY MOTHER? A LIONESS: SHE LAY DOWN AMONG LIONS, SHE
 NOURISHED HER WHELPS AMONG YOUNG LIONS.
# 3 AND SHE BROUGHT UP ONE OF HER WHELPS: IT BECAME A YOUNG LION, AND IT
 LEARNED TO CATCH THE PREY; IT DEVOURED MEN.
# 4 THE NATIONS ALSO HEARD OF HIM; HE WAS TAKEN IN THEIR PIT, AND THEY
 BROUGHT HIM WITH CHAINS UNTO THE LAND OF EGYPT.
# 5 NOW WHEN SHE SAW THAT SHE HAD WAITED, AND HER HOPE WAS LOST, THEN SHE
 TOOK ANOTHER OF HER WHELPS, AND MADE HIM A YOUNG LION.
# 6 AND HE WENT UP AND DOWN AMONG THE LIONS, HE BECAME A YOUNG LION, AND
 LEARNED TO CATCH THE PREY, AND DEVOURED MEN.
# 7 AND HE KNEW THEIR DESOLATE PALACES, AND HE LAID WASTE THEIR CITIES; AND
 THE LAND WAS DESOLATE, AND THE FULNESS THEREOF, BY THE NOISE OF HIS ROARING.
# 8 THEN THE NATIONS SET AGAINST HIM ON EVERY SIDE FROM THE PROVINCES, AND
 SPREAD THEIR NET OVER HIM: HE WAS TAKEN IN THEIR PIT.
# 9 AND THEY PUT HIM IN WARD IN CHAINS, AND BROUGHT HIM TO THE KING OF
 BABYLON: THEY BROUGHT HIM INTO HOLDS, THAT HIS VOICE SHOULD NO MORE BE HEARD
 UPON THE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL.
# 10 THY MOTHER IS LIKE A VINE IN THY BLOOD, PLANTED BY THE WATERS: SHE WAS
 FRUITFUL AND FULL OF BRANCHES BY REASON OF MANY WATERS.
# 11 AND SHE HAD STRONG RODS FOR THE SCEPTRES OF THEM THAT BARE RULE, AND HER
 STATURE WAS EXALTED AMONG THE THICK BRANCHES, AND SHE APPEARED IN HER HEIGHT
 WITH THE MULTITUDE OF HER BRANCHES.
# 12 BUT SHE WAS PLUCKED UP IN FURY, SHE WAS CAST DOWN TO THE GROUND, AND THE
 EAST WIND DRIED UP HER FRUIT: HER STRONG RODS WERE BROKEN AND WITHERED; THE
 FIRE CONSUMED THEM.
# 13 AND NOW SHE IS PLANTED IN THE WILDERNESS, IN A DRY AND THIRSTY GROUND.
# 14 AND FIRE IS GONE OUT OF A ROD OF HER BRANCHES, WHICH HATH DEVOURED HER
 FRUIT, SO THAT SHE HATH NO STRONG ROD TO BE A SCEPTRE TO RULE. THIS IS A
 LAMENTATION, AND SHALL BE FOR A LAMENTATION.
= CHAPTER 20 
# 1 AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THE SEVENTH YEAR, IN THE FIFTH MONTH, THE TENTH DAY
 OF THE MONTH, THAT CERTAIN OF THE ELDERS OF ISRAEL CAME TO ENQUIRE OF THE
 LORD, AND SAT BEFORE ME.
# 2 THEN CAME THE WORD OF THE LORD UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 3 SON OF MAN, SPEAK UNTO THE ELDERS OF ISRAEL, AND SAY UNTO THEM, THUS
 SAITH THE LORD GOD; ARE YE COME TO ENQUIRE OF ME? AS I LIVE, SAITH THE LORD
 GOD, I WILL NOT BE ENQUIRED OF BY YOU.
# 4 WILT THOU JUDGE THEM, SON OF MAN, WILT THOU JUDGE THEM? CAUSE THEM TO
 KNOW THE ABOMINATIONS OF THEIR FATHERS:
# 5 AND SAY UNTO THEM, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; IN THE DAY WHEN I CHOSE
 ISRAEL, AND LIFTED UP MINE HAND UNTO THE SEED OF THE HOUSE OF JACOB, AND MADE
 MYSELF KNOWN UNTO THEM IN THE LAND OF EGYPT, WHEN I LIFTED UP MINE HAND UNTO
 THEM, SAYING, I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD;
# 6 IN THE DAY THAT I LIFTED UP MINE HAND UNTO THEM, TO BRING THEM FORTH OF
 THE LAND OF EGYPT INTO A LAND THAT I HAD ESPIED FOR THEM, FLOWING WITH MILK
 AND HONEY, WHICH IS THE GLORY OF ALL LANDS:
# 7 THEN SAID I UNTO THEM, CAST YE AWAY EVERY MAN THE ABOMINATIONS OF HIS
 EYES, AND DEFILE NOT YOURSELVES WITH THE IDOLS OF EGYPT: I AM THE LORD YOUR
 GOD.
# 8 BUT THEY REBELLED AGAINST ME, AND WOULD NOT HEARKEN UNTO ME: THEY DID NOT
 EVERY MAN CAST AWAY THE ABOMINATIONS OF THEIR EYES, NEITHER DID THEY FORSAKE
 THE IDOLS OF EGYPT: THEN I SAID, I WILL POUR OUT MY FURY UPON THEM, TO
 ACCOMPLISH MY ANGER AGAINST THEM IN THE MIDST OF THE LAND OF EGYPT.
# 9 BUT I WROUGHT FOR MY NAMES SAKE, THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE POLLUTED BEFORE
 THE HEATHEN, AMONG WHOM THEY WERE, IN WHOSE SIGHT I MADE MYSELF KNOWN UNTO
 THEM, IN BRINGING THEM FORTH OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT.
# 10 WHEREFORE I CAUSED THEM TO GO FORTH OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, AND
 BROUGHT THEM INTO THE WILDERNESS.
# 11 AND I GAVE THEM MY STATUTES, AND SHEWED THEM MY JUDGMENTS, WHICH IF A
 MAN DO, HE SHALL EVEN LIVE IN THEM.
# 12 MOREOVER ALSO I GAVE THEM MY SABBATHS, TO BE A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND THEM,
 THAT THEY MIGHT KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD THAT SANCTIFY THEM.
# 13 BUT THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL REBELLED AGAINST ME IN THE WILDERNESS: THEY
 WALKED NOT IN MY STATUTES, AND THEY DESPISED MY JUDGMENTS, WHICH IF A MAN DO,
 HE SHALL EVEN LIVE IN THEM; AND MY SABBATHS THEY GREATLY POLLUTED: THEN I
 SAID, I WOULD POUR OUT MY FURY UPON THEM IN THE WILDERNESS, TO CONSUME THEM.
# 14 BUT I WROUGHT FOR MY NAMES SAKE, THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE POLLUTED BEFORE
 THE HEATHEN, IN WHOSE SIGHT I BROUGHT THEM OUT.
# 15 YET ALSO I LIFTED UP MY HAND UNTO THEM IN THE WILDERNESS, THAT I WOULD
 NOT BRING THEM INTO THE LAND WHICH I HAD GIVEN THEM, FLOWING WITH MILK AND
 HONEY, WHICH IS THE GLORY OF ALL LANDS;
# 16 BECAUSE THEY DESPISED MY JUDGMENTS, AND WALKED NOT IN MY STATUTES, BUT
 POLLUTED MY SABBATHS: FOR THEIR HEART WENT AFTER THEIR IDOLS.
# 17 NEVERTHELESS MINE EYE SPARED THEM FROM DESTROYING THEM, NEITHER DID I
 MAKE AN END OF THEM IN THE WILDERNESS.
# 18 BUT I SAID UNTO THEIR CHILDREN IN THE WILDERNESS, WALK YE NOT IN THE
 STATUTES OF YOUR FATHERS, NEITHER OBSERVE THEIR JUDGMENTS, NOR DEFILE
 YOURSELVES WITH THEIR IDOLS:
# 19 I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD; WALK IN MY STATUTES, AND KEEP MY JUDGMENTS, AND
 DO THEM;
# 20 AND HALLOW MY SABBATHS; AND THEY SHALL BE A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND YOU,
 THAT YE MAY KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD.
# 21 NOTWITHSTANDING THE CHILDREN REBELLED AGAINST ME: THEY WALKED NOT IN MY
 STATUTES, NEITHER KEPT MY JUDGMENTS TO DO THEM, WHICH IF A MAN DO, HE SHALL
 EVEN LIVE IN THEM; THEY POLLUTED MY SABBATHS: THEN I SAID, I WOULD POUR OUT
 MY FURY UPON THEM, TO ACCOMPLISH MY ANGER AGAINST THEM IN THE WILDERNESS.
# 22 NEVERTHELESS I WITHDREW MINE HAND, AND WROUGHT FOR MY NAMES SAKE, THAT
 IT SHOULD NOT BE POLLUTED IN THE SIGHT OF THE HEATHEN, IN WHOSE SIGHT I
 BROUGHT THEM FORTH.
# 23 I LIFTED UP MINE HAND UNTO THEM ALSO IN THE WILDERNESS, THAT I WOULD
 SCATTER THEM AMONG THE HEATHEN, AND DISPERSE THEM THROUGH THE COUNTRIES;
# 24 BECAUSE THEY HAD NOT EXECUTED MY JUDGMENTS, BUT HAD DESPISED MY
 STATUTES, AND HAD POLLUTED MY SABBATHS, AND THEIR EYES WERE AFTER THEIR
 FATHERS IDOLS.
# 25 WHEREFORE I GAVE THEM ALSO STATUTES THAT WERE NOT GOOD, AND JUDGMENTS
 WHEREBY THEY SHOULD NOT LIVE;
# 26 AND I POLLUTED THEM IN THEIR OWN GIFTS, IN THAT THEY CAUSED TO PASS
 THROUGH THE FIRE ALL THAT OPENETH THE WOMB, THAT I MIGHT MAKE THEM DESOLATE,
 TO THE END THAT THEY MIGHT KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
# 27 THEREFORE, SON OF MAN, SPEAK UNTO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, AND SAY UNTO
 THEM, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; YET IN THIS YOUR FATHERS HAVE BLASPHEMED ME,
 IN THAT THEY HAVE COMMITTED A TRESPASS AGAINST ME.
# 28 FOR WHEN I HAD BROUGHT THEM INTO THE LAND, FOR THE WHICH I LIFTED UP
 MINE HAND TO GIVE IT TO THEM, THEN THEY SAW EVERY HIGH HILL, AND ALL THE
 THICK TREES, AND THEY OFFERED THERE THEIR SACRIFICES, AND THERE THEY
 PRESENTED THE PROVOCATION OF THEIR OFFERING: THERE ALSO THEY MADE THEIR SWEET
 SAVOUR, AND POURED OUT THERE THEIR DRINK OFFERINGS.
# 29 THEN I SAID UNTO THEM, WHAT IS THE HIGH PLACE WHEREUNTO YE GO? AND THE
 NAME WHEREOF IS CALLED BAMAH UNTO THIS DAY.
# 30 WHEREFORE SAY UNTO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; ARE YE
 POLLUTED AFTER THE MANNER OF YOUR FATHERS? AND COMMIT YE WHOREDOM AFTER THEIR
 ABOMINATIONS?
# 31 FOR WHEN YE OFFER YOUR GIFTS, WHEN YE MAKE YOUR SONS TO PASS THROUGH THE
 FIRE, YE POLLUTE YOURSELVES WITH ALL YOUR IDOLS, EVEN UNTO THIS DAY: AND
 SHALL I BE ENQUIRED OF BY YOU, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL? AS I LIVE, SAITH THE LORD
 GOD, I WILL NOT BE ENQUIRED OF BY YOU.
# 32 AND THAT WHICH COMETH INTO YOUR MIND SHALL NOT BE AT ALL, THAT YE SAY,
 WE WILL BE AS THE HEATHEN, AS THE FAMILIES OF THE COUNTRIES, TO SERVE WOOD
 AND STONE.
# 33 AS I LIVE, SAITH THE LORD GOD, SURELY WITH A MIGHTY HAND, AND WITH A
 STRETCHED OUT ARM, AND WITH FURY POURED OUT, WILL I RULE OVER YOU:
# 34 AND I WILL BRING YOU OUT FROM THE PEOPLE, AND WILL GATHER YOU OUT OF THE
 COUNTRIES WHEREIN YE ARE SCATTERED, WITH A MIGHTY HAND, AND WITH A STRETCHED
 OUT ARM, AND WITH FURY POURED OUT.
# 35 AND I WILL BRING YOU INTO THE WILDERNESS OF THE PEOPLE, AND THERE WILL I
 PLEAD WITH YOU FACE TO FACE.
# 36 LIKE AS I PLEADED WITH YOUR FATHERS IN THE WILDERNESS OF THE LAND OF
 EGYPT, SO WILL I PLEAD WITH YOU, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 37 AND I WILL CAUSE YOU TO PASS UNDER THE ROD, AND I WILL BRING YOU INTO
 THE BOND OF THE COVENANT:
# 38 AND I WILL PURGE OUT FROM AMONG YOU THE REBELS, AND THEM THAT TRANSGRESS
 AGAINST ME: I WILL BRING THEM FORTH OUT OF THE COUNTRY WHERE THEY SOJOURN,
 AND THEY SHALL NOT ENTER INTO THE LAND OF ISRAEL: AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM
 THE LORD.
# 39 AS FOR YOU, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; GO YE, SERVE YE
 EVERY ONE HIS IDOLS, AND HEREAFTER ALSO, IF YE WILL NOT HEARKEN UNTO ME: BUT
 POLLUTE YE MY HOLY NAME NO MORE WITH YOUR GIFTS, AND WITH YOUR IDOLS.
# 40 FOR IN MINE HOLY MOUNTAIN, IN THE MOUNTAIN OF THE HEIGHT OF ISRAEL,
 SAITH THE LORD GOD, THERE SHALL ALL THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, ALL OF THEM IN THE
 LAND, SERVE ME: THERE WILL I ACCEPT THEM, AND THERE WILL I REQUIRE YOUR
 OFFERINGS, AND THE FIRSTFRUITS OF YOUR OBLATIONS, WITH ALL YOUR HOLY THINGS.
# 41 I WILL ACCEPT YOU WITH YOUR SWEET SAVOUR, WHEN I BRING YOU OUT FROM THE
 PEOPLE, AND GATHER YOU OUT OF THE COUNTRIES WHEREIN YE HAVE BEEN SCATTERED;
 AND I WILL BE SANCTIFIED IN YOU BEFORE THE HEATHEN.
# 42 AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD, WHEN I SHALL BRING YOU INTO THE
 LAND OF ISRAEL, INTO THE COUNTRY FOR THE WHICH I LIFTED UP MINE HAND TO GIVE
 IT TO YOUR FATHERS.
# 43 AND THERE SHALL YE REMEMBER YOUR WAYS, AND ALL YOUR DOINGS, WHEREIN YE
 HAVE BEEN DEFILED; AND YE SHALL LOTHE YOURSELVES IN YOUR OWN SIGHT FOR ALL
 YOUR EVILS THAT YE HAVE COMMITTED.
# 44 AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD WHEN I HAVE WROUGHT WITH YOU FOR MY
 NAMES SAKE, NOT ACCORDING TO YOUR WICKED WAYS, NOR ACCORDING TO YOUR CORRUPT
 DOINGS, O YE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 45 MOREOVER THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 46 SON OF MAN, SET THY FACE TOWARD THE SOUTH, AND DROP THY WORD TOWARD THE
 SOUTH, AND PROPHESY AGAINST THE FOREST OF THE SOUTH FIELD;
# 47 AND SAY TO THE FOREST OF THE SOUTH, HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD; THUS
 SAITH THE LORD GOD; BEHOLD, I WILL KINDLE A FIRE IN THEE, AND IT SHALL DEVOUR
 EVERY GREEN TREE IN THEE, AND EVERY DRY TREE: THE FLAMING FLAME SHALL NOT BE
 QUENCHED, AND ALL FACES FROM THE SOUTH TO THE NORTH SHALL BE BURNED THEREIN.
# 48 AND ALL FLESH SHALL SEE THAT I THE LORD HAVE KINDLED IT: IT SHALL NOT BE
 QUENCHED.
# 49 THEN SAID I, AH LORD GOD! THEY SAY OF ME, DOTH HE NOT SPEAK PARABLES?
= CHAPTER 21 
# 1 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 2 SON OF MAN, SET THY FACE TOWARD JERUSALEM, AND DROP THY WORD TOWARD THE
 HOLY PLACES, AND PROPHESY AGAINST THE LAND OF ISRAEL,
# 3 AND SAY TO THE LAND OF ISRAEL, THUS SAITH THE LORD; BEHOLD, I AM AGAINST
 THEE, AND WILL DRAW FORTH MY SWORD OUT OF HIS SHEATH, AND WILL CUT OFF FROM
 THEE THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED.
# 4 SEEING THEN THAT I WILL CUT OFF FROM THEE THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED,
 THEREFORE SHALL MY SWORD GO FORTH OUT OF HIS SHEATH AGAINST ALL FLESH FROM
 THE SOUTH TO THE NORTH:
# 5 THAT ALL FLESH MAY KNOW THAT I THE LORD HAVE DRAWN FORTH MY SWORD OUT OF
 HIS SHEATH: IT SHALL NOT RETURN ANY MORE.
# 6 SIGH THEREFORE, THOU SON OF MAN, WITH THE BREAKING OF THY LOINS; AND WITH
 BITTERNESS SIGH BEFORE THEIR EYES.
# 7 AND IT SHALL BE, WHEN THEY SAY UNTO THEE, WHEREFORE SIGHEST THOU? THAT
 THOU SHALT ANSWER, FOR THE TIDINGS; BECAUSE IT COMETH: AND EVERY HEART SHALL
 MELT, AND ALL HANDS SHALL BE FEEBLE, AND EVERY SPIRIT SHALL FAINT, AND ALL
 KNEES SHALL BE WEAK AS WATER: BEHOLD, IT COMETH, AND SHALL BE BROUGHT TO
 PASS, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 8 AGAIN THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 9 SON OF MAN, PROPHESY, AND SAY, THUS SAITH THE LORD; SAY, A SWORD, A SWORD
 IS SHARPENED, AND ALSO FURBISHED:
# 10 IT IS SHARPENED TO MAKE A SORE SLAUGHTER; IT IS FURBISHED THAT IT MAY
 GLITTER: SHOULD WE THEN MAKE MIRTH? IT CONTEMNETH THE ROD OF MY SON, AS EVERY
 TREE.
# 11 AND HE HATH GIVEN IT TO BE FURBISHED, THAT IT MAY BE HANDLED: THIS SWORD
 IS SHARPENED, AND IT IS FURBISHED, TO GIVE IT INTO THE HAND OF THE SLAYER.
# 12 CRY AND HOWL, SON OF MAN: FOR IT SHALL BE UPON MY PEOPLE, IT SHALL BE
 UPON ALL THE PRINCES OF ISRAEL: TERRORS BY REASON OF THE SWORD SHALL BE UPON
 MY PEOPLE: SMITE THEREFORE UPON THY THIGH.
# 13 BECAUSE IT IS A TRIAL, AND WHAT IF THE SWORD CONTEMN EVEN THE ROD? IT
 SHALL BE NO MORE, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 14 THOU THEREFORE, SON OF MAN, PROPHESY, AND SMITE THINE HANDS TOGETHER.
 AND LET THE SWORD BE DOUBLED THE THIRD TIME, THE SWORD OF THE SLAIN: IT IS
 THE SWORD OF THE GREAT MEN THAT ARE SLAIN, WHICH ENTERETH INTO THEIR PRIVY
 CHAMBERS.
# 15 I HAVE SET THE POINT OF THE SWORD AGAINST ALL THEIR GATES, THAT THEIR
 HEART MAY FAINT, AND THEIR RUINS BE MULTIPLIED: AH! IT IS MADE BRIGHT, IT IS
 WRAPPED UP FOR THE SLAUGHTER.
# 16 GO THEE ONE WAY OR OTHER, EITHER ON THE RIGHT HAND, OR ON THE LEFT,
 WHITHERSOEVER THY FACE IS SET.
# 17 I WILL ALSO SMITE MINE HANDS TOGETHER, AND I WILL CAUSE MY FURY TO REST:
 I THE LORD HAVE SAID IT.
# 18 THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME AGAIN, SAYING,
# 19 ALSO, THOU SON OF MAN, APPOINT THEE TWO WAYS, THAT THE SWORD OF THE KING
 OF BABYLON MAY COME: BOTH TWAIN SHALL COME FORTH OUT OF ONE LAND: AND CHOOSE
 THOU A PLACE, CHOOSE IT AT THE HEAD OF THE WAY TO THE CITY.
# 20 APPOINT A WAY, THAT THE SWORD MAY COME TO RABBATH OF THE AMMONITES, AND
 TO JUDAH IN JERUSALEM THE DEFENCED.
# 21 FOR THE KING OF BABYLON STOOD AT THE PARTING OF THE WAY, AT THE HEAD OF
 THE TWO WAYS, TO USE DIVINATION: HE MADE HIS ARROWS BRIGHT, HE CONSULTED WITH
 IMAGES, HE LOOKED IN THE LIVER.
# 22 AT HIS RIGHT HAND WAS THE DIVINATION FOR JERUSALEM, TO APPOINT CAPTAINS,
 TO OPEN THE MOUTH IN THE SLAUGHTER, TO LIFT UP THE VOICE WITH SHOUTING, TO
 APPOINT BATTERING RAMS AGAINST THE GATES, TO CAST A MOUNT, AND TO BUILD A
 FORT.
# 23 AND IT SHALL BE UNTO THEM AS A FALSE DIVINATION IN THEIR SIGHT, TO THEM
 THAT HAVE SWORN OATHS: BUT HE WILL CALL TO REMEMBRANCE THE INIQUITY, THAT
 THEY MAY BE TAKEN.
# 24 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BECAUSE YE HAVE MADE YOUR INIQUITY TO
 BE REMEMBERED, IN THAT YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS ARE DISCOVERED, SO THAT IN ALL
 YOUR DOINGS YOUR SINS DO APPEAR; BECAUSE, I SAY, THAT YE ARE COME TO
 REMEMBRANCE, YE SHALL BE TAKEN WITH THE HAND.
# 25 AND THOU, PROFANE WICKED PRINCE OF ISRAEL, WHOSE DAY IS COME, WHEN
 INIQUITY SHALL HAVE AN END,
# 26 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; REMOVE THE DIADEM, AND TAKE OFF THE CROWN: THIS
 SHALL NOT BE THE SAME: EXALT HIM THAT IS LOW, AND ABASE HIM THAT IS HIGH.
# 27 I WILL OVERTURN, OVERTURN, OVERTURN, IT: AND IT SHALL BE NO MORE, UNTIL
 HE COME WHOSE RIGHT IT IS; AND I WILL GIVE IT HIM.
# 28 AND THOU, SON OF MAN, PROPHESY AND SAY, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD
 CONCERNING THE AMMONITES, AND CONCERNING THEIR REPROACH; EVEN SAY THOU, THE
 SWORD, THE SWORD IS DRAWN: FOR THE SLAUGHTER IT IS FURBISHED, TO CONSUME
 BECAUSE OF THE GLITTERING:
# 29 WHILES THEY SEE VANITY UNTO THEE, WHILES THEY DIVINE A LIE UNTO THEE, TO
 BRING THEE UPON THE NECKS OF THEM THAT ARE SLAIN, OF THE WICKED, WHOSE DAY IS
 COME, WHEN THEIR INIQUITY SHALL HAVE AN END.
# 30 SHALL I CAUSE IT TO RETURN INTO HIS SHEATH? I WILL JUDGE THEE IN THE
 PLACE WHERE THOU WAST CREATED, IN THE LAND OF THY NATIVITY.
# 31 AND I WILL POUR OUT MINE INDIGNATION UPON THEE, I WILL BLOW AGAINST THEE
 IN THE FIRE OF MY WRATH, AND DELIVER THEE INTO THE HAND OF BRUTISH MEN, AND
 SKILFUL TO DESTROY.
# 32 THOU SHALT BE FOR FUEL TO THE FIRE; THY BLOOD SHALL BE IN THE MIDST OF
 THE LAND; THOU SHALT BE NO MORE REMEMBERED: FOR I THE LORD HAVE SPOKEN IT.
= CHAPTER 22 
# 1 MOREOVER THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 2 NOW, THOU SON OF MAN, WILT THOU JUDGE, WILT THOU JUDGE THE BLOODY CITY?
 YEA, THOU SHALT SHEW HER ALL HER ABOMINATIONS.
# 3 THEN SAY THOU, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD, THE CITY SHEDDETH BLOOD IN THE
 MIDST OF IT, THAT HER TIME MAY COME, AND MAKETH IDOLS AGAINST HERSELF TO
 DEFILE HERSELF.
# 4 THOU ART BECOME GUILTY IN THY BLOOD THAT THOU HAST SHED; AND HAST DEFILED
 THYSELF IN THINE IDOLS WHICH THOU HAST MADE; AND THOU HAST CAUSED THY DAYS TO
 DRAW NEAR, AND ART COME EVEN UNTO THY YEARS: THEREFORE HAVE I MADE THEE A
 REPROACH UNTO THE HEATHEN, AND A MOCKING TO ALL COUNTRIES.
# 5 THOSE THAT BE NEAR, AND THOSE THAT BE FAR FROM THEE, SHALL MOCK THEE,
 WHICH ART INFAMOUS AND MUCH VEXED.
# 6 BEHOLD, THE PRINCES OF ISRAEL, EVERY ONE WERE IN THEE TO THEIR POWER TO
 SHED BLOOD.
# 7 IN THEE HAVE THEY SET LIGHT BY FATHER AND MOTHER: IN THE MIDST OF THEE
 HAVE THEY DEALT BY OPPRESSION WITH THE STRANGER: IN THEE HAVE THEY VEXED THE
 FATHERLESS AND THE WIDOW.
# 8 THOU HAST DESPISED MINE HOLY THINGS, AND HAST PROFANED MY SABBATHS.
# 9 IN THEE ARE MEN THAT CARRY TALES TO SHED BLOOD: AND IN THEE THEY EAT UPON
 THE MOUNTAINS: IN THE MIDST OF THEE THEY COMMIT LEWDNESS.
# 10 IN THEE HAVE THEY DISCOVERED THEIR FATHERS NAKEDNESS: IN THEE HAVE THEY
 HUMBLED HER THAT WAS SET APART FOR POLLUTION.
# 11 AND ONE HATH COMMITTED ABOMINATION WITH HIS NEIGHBOURS WIFE; AND ANOTHER
 HATH LEWDLY DEFILED HIS DAUGHTER IN LAW; AND ANOTHER IN THEE HATH HUMBLED HIS
 SISTER, HIS FATHERS DAUGHTER.
# 12 IN THEE HAVE THEY TAKEN GIFTS TO SHED BLOOD; THOU HAST TAKEN USURY AND
 INCREASE, AND THOU HAST GREEDILY GAINED OF THY NEIGHBOURS BY EXTORTION, AND
 HAST FORGOTTEN ME, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 13 BEHOLD, THEREFORE I HAVE SMITTEN MINE HAND AT THY DISHONEST GAIN WHICH
 THOU HAST MADE, AND AT THY BLOOD WHICH HATH BEEN IN THE MIDST OF THEE.
# 14 CAN THINE HEART ENDURE, OR CAN THINE HANDS BE STRONG, IN THE DAYS THAT I
 SHALL DEAL WITH THEE? I THE LORD HAVE SPOKEN IT, AND WILL DO IT.
# 15 AND I WILL SCATTER THEE AMONG THE HEATHEN, AND DISPERSE THEE IN THE
 COUNTRIES, AND WILL CONSUME THY FILTHINESS OUT OF THEE.
# 16 AND THOU SHALT TAKE THINE INHERITANCE IN THYSELF IN THE SIGHT OF THE
 HEATHEN, AND THOU SHALT KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
# 17 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 18 SON OF MAN, THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL IS TO ME BECOME DROSS: ALL THEY ARE
 BRASS, AND TIN, AND IRON, AND LEAD, IN THE MIDST OF THE FURNACE; THEY ARE
 EVEN THE DROSS OF SILVER.
# 19 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BECAUSE YE ARE ALL BECOME DROSS,
 BEHOLD, THEREFORE I WILL GATHER YOU INTO THE MIDST OF JERUSALEM.
# 20 AS THEY GATHER SILVER, AND BRASS, AND IRON, AND LEAD, AND TIN, INTO THE
 MIDST OF THE FURNACE, TO BLOW THE FIRE UPON IT, TO MELT IT; SO WILL I GATHER
 YOU IN MINE ANGER AND IN MY FURY, AND I WILL LEAVE YOU THERE, AND MELT YOU.
# 21 YEA, I WILL GATHER YOU, AND BLOW UPON YOU IN THE FIRE OF MY WRATH, AND
 YE SHALL BE MELTED IN THE MIDST THEROF.
# 22 AS SILVER IS MELTED IN THE MIDST OF THE FURNACE, SO SHALL YE BE MELTED
 IN THE MIDST THEREOF; AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I THE LORD HAVE POURED OUT MY
 FURY UPON YOU.
# 23 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 24 SON OF MAN, SAY UNTO HER, THOU ART THE LAND THAT IS NOT CLEANSED, NOR
 RAINED UPON IN THE DAY OF INDIGNATION.
# 25 THERE IS A CONSPIRACY OF HER PROPHETS IN THE MIDST THEREOF, LIKE A
 ROARING LION RAVENING THE PREY; THEY HAVE DEVOURED SOULS; THEY HAVE TAKEN THE
 TREASURE AND PRECIOUS THINGS; THEY HAVE MADE HER MANY WIDOWS IN THE MIDST
 THEREOF.
# 26 HER PRIESTS HAVE VIOLATED MY LAW, AND HAVE PROFANED MINE HOLY THINGS:
 THEY HAVE PUT NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HOLY AND PROFANE, NEITHER HAVE THEY
 SHEWED DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE UNCLEAN AND THE CLEAN, AND HAVE HID THEIR EYES
 FROM MY SABBATHS, AND I AM PROFANED AMONG THEM.
# 27 HER PRINCES IN THE MIDST THEREOF ARE LIKE WOLVES RAVENING THE PREY, TO
 SHED BLOOD, AND TO DESTROY SOULS, TO GET DISHONEST GAIN.
# 28 AND HER PROPHETS HAVE DAUBED THEM WITH UNTEMPERED MORTER, SEEING VANITY,
 AND DIVINING LIES UNTO THEM, SAYING, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD, WHEN THE LORD
 HATH NOT SPOKEN.
# 29 THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND HAVE USED OPPRESSION, AND EXERCISED ROBBERY, AND
 HAVE VEXED THE POOR AND NEEDY: YEA, THEY HAVE OPPRESSED THE STRANGER
 WRONGFULLY.
# 30 AND I SOUGHT FOR A MAN AMONG THEM, THAT SHOULD MAKE UP THE HEDGE, AND
 STAND IN THE GAP BEFORE ME FOR THE LAND, THAT I SHOULD NOT DESTROY IT: BUT I
 FOUND NONE.
# 31 THEREFORE HAVE I POURED OUT MINE INDIGNATION UPON THEM; I HAVE CONSUMED
 THEM WITH THE FIRE OF MY WRATH: THEIR OWN WAY HAVE I RECOMPENSED UPON THEIR
 HEADS, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
= CHAPTER 23 
# 1 THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME AGAIN UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 2 SON OF MAN, THERE WERE TWO WOMEN, THE DAUGHTERS OF ONE MOTHER:
# 3 AND THEY COMMITTED WHOREDOMS IN EGYPT; THEY COMMITTED WHOREDOMS IN THEIR
 YOUTH: THERE WERE THEIR BREASTS PRESSED, AND THERE THEY BRUISED THE TEATS OF
 THEIR VIRGINITY.
# 4 AND THE NAMES OF THEM WERE AHOLAH THE ELDER, AND AHOLIBAH HER SISTER: AND
 THEY WERE MINE, AND THEY BARE SONS AND DAUGHTERS. THUS WERE THEIR NAMES;
 SAMARIA IS AHOLAH, AND JERUSALEM AHOLIBAH.
# 5 AND AHOLAH PLAYED THE HARLOT WHEN SHE WAS MINE; AND SHE DOTED ON HER
 LOVERS, ON THE ASSYRIANS HER NEIGHBOURS,
# 6 WHICH WERE CLOTHED WITH BLUE, CAPTAINS AND RULERS, ALL OF THEM DESIRABLE
 YOUNG MEN, HORSEMEN RIDING UPON HORSES.
# 7 THUS SHE COMMITTED HER WHOREDOMS WITH THEM, WITH ALL THEM THAT WERE THE
 CHOSEN MEN OF ASSYRIA, AND WITH ALL ON WHOM SHE DOTED: WITH ALL THEIR IDOLS
 SHE DEFILED HERSELF.
# 8 NEITHER LEFT SHE HER WHOREDOMS BROUGHT FROM EGYPT: FOR IN HER YOUTH THEY
 LAY WITH HER, AND THEY BRUISED THE BREASTS OF HER VIRGINITY, AND POURED THEIR
 WHOREDOM UPON HER.
# 9 WHEREFORE I HAVE DELIVERED HER INTO THE HAND OF HER LOVERS, INTO THE HAND
 OF THE ASSYRIANS, UPON WHOM SHE DOTED.
# 10 THESE DISCOVERED HER NAKEDNESS: THEY TOOK HER SONS AND HER DAUGHTERS,
 AND SLEW HER WITH THE SWORD: AND SHE BECAME FAMOUS AMONG WOMEN; FOR THEY HAD
 EXECUTED JUDGMENT UPON HER.
# 11 AND WHEN HER SISTER AHOLIBAH SAW THIS, SHE WAS MORE CORRUPT IN HER
 INORDINATE LOVE THAN SHE, AND IN HER WHOREDOMS MORE THAN HER SISTER IN HER
 WHOREDOMS.
# 12 SHE DOTED UPON THE ASSYRIANS HER NEIGHBOURS, CAPTAINS AND RULERS CLOTHED
 MOST GORGEOUSLY, HORSEMEN RIDING UPON HORSES, ALL OF THEM DESIRABLE YOUNG
 MEN.
# 13 THEN I SAW THAT SHE WAS DEFILED, THAT THEY TOOK BOTH ONE WAY,
# 14 AND THAT SHE INCREASED HER WHOREDOMS: FOR WHEN SHE SAW MEN POURTRAYED
 UPON THE WALL, THE IMAGES OF THE CHALDEANS POURTRAYED WITH VERMILION,
# 15 GIRDED WITH GIRDLES UPON THEIR LOINS, EXCEEDING IN DYED ATTIRE UPON
 THEIR HEADS, ALL OF THEM PRINCES TO LOOK TO, AFTER THE MANNER OF THE
 BABYLONIANS OF CHALDEA, THE LAND OF THEIR NATIVITY:
# 16 AND AS SOON AS SHE SAW THEM WITH HER EYES, SHE DOTED UPON THEM, AND SENT
 MESSENGERS UNTO THEM INTO CHALDEA.
# 17 AND THE BABYLONIANS CAME TO HER INTO THE BED OF LOVE, AND THEY DEFILED
 HER WITH THEIR WHOREDOM, AND SHE WAS POLLUTED WITH THEM, AND HER MIND WAS
 ALIENATED FROM THEM.
# 18 SO SHE DISCOVERED HER WHOREDOMS, AND DISCOVERED HER NAKEDNESS: THEN MY
 MIND WAS ALIENATED FROM HER, LIKE AS MY MIND WAS ALIENATED FROM HER SISTER.
# 19 YET SHE MULTIPLIED HER WHOREDOMS, IN CALLING TO REMEMBRANCE THE DAYS OF
 HER YOUTH, WHEREIN SHE HAD PLAYED THE HARLOT IN THE LAND OF EGYPT.
# 20 FOR SHE DOTED UPON THEIR PARAMOURS, WHOSE FLESH IS AS THE FLESH OF
 ASSES, AND WHOSE ISSUE IS LIKE THE ISSUE OF HORSES.
# 21 THUS THOU CALLEDST TO REMEMBRANCE THE LEWDNESS OF THY YOUTH, IN BRUISING
 THY TEATS BY THE EGYPTIANS FOR THE PAPS OF THY YOUTH.
# 22 THEREFORE, O AHOLIBAH, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BEHOLD, I WILL RAISE UP
 THY LOVERS AGAINST THEE, FROM WHOM THY MIND IS ALIENATED, AND I WILL BRING
 THEM AGAINST THEE ON EVERY SIDE;
# 23 THE BABYLONIANS, AND ALL THE CHALDEANS, PEKOD, AND SHOA, AND KOA, AND
 ALL THE ASSYRIANS WITH THEM: ALL OF THEM DESIRABLE YOUNG MEN, CAPTAINS AND
 RULERS, GREAT LORDS AND RENOWNED, ALL OF THEM RIDING UPON HORSES.
# 24 AND THEY SHALL COME AGAINST THEE WITH CHARIOTS, WAGONS, AND WHEELS, AND
 WITH AN ASSEMBLY OF PEOPLE, WHICH SHALL SET AGAINST THEE BUCKLER AND SHIELD
 AND HELMET ROUND ABOUT: AND I WILL SET JUDGMENT BEFORE THEM, AND THEY SHALL
 JUDGE THEE ACCORDING TO THEIR JUDGMENTS.
# 25 AND I WILL SET MY JEALOUSY AGAINST THEE, AND THEY SHALL DEAL FURIOUSLY
 WITH THEE: THEY SHALL TAKE AWAY THY NOSE AND THINE EARS; AND THY REMNANT
 SHALL FALL BY THE SWORD: THEY SHALL TAKE THY SONS AND THY DAUGHTERS; AND THY
 RESIDUE SHALL BE DEVOURED BY THE FIRE.
# 26 THEY SHALL ALSO STRIP THEE OUT OF THY CLOTHES, AND TAKE AWAY THY FAIR
 JEWELS.
# 27 THUS WILL I MAKE THY LEWDNESS TO CEASE FROM THEE, AND THY WHOREDOM
 BROUGHT FROM THE LAND OF EGYPT: SO THAT THOU SHALT NOT LIFT UP THINE EYES
 UNTO THEM, NOR REMEMBER EGYPT ANY MORE.
# 28 FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BEHOLD, I WILL DELIVER THEE INTO THE HAND
 OF THEM WHOM THOU HATEST, INTO THE HAND OF THEM FROM WHOM THY MIND IS
 ALIENATED:
# 29 AND THEY SHALL DEAL WITH THEE HATEFULLY, AND SHALL TAKE AWAY ALL THY
 LABOUR, AND SHALL LEAVE THEE NAKED AND BARE: AND THE NAKEDNESS OF THY
 WHOREDOMS SHALL BE DISCOVERED, BOTH THY LEWDNESS AND THY WHOREDOMS.
# 30 I WILL DO THESE THINGS UNTO THEE, BECAUSE THOU HAST GONE A WHORING AFTER
 THE HEATHEN, AND BECAUSE THOU ART POLLUTED WITH THEIR IDOLS.
# 31 THOU HAST WALKED IN THE WAY OF THY SISTER; THEREFORE WILL I GIVE HER CUP
 INTO THINE HAND.
# 32 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; THOU SHALT DRINK OF THY SISTERS CUP DEEP AND
 LARGE: THOU SHALT BE LAUGHED TO SCORN AND HAD IN DERISION; IT CONTAINETH
 MUCH.
# 33 THOU SHALT BE FILLED WITH DRUNKENNESS AND SORROW, WITH THE CUP OF
 ASTONISHMENT AND DESOLATION, WITH THE CUP OF THY SISTER SAMARIA.
# 34 THOU SHALT EVEN DRINK IT AND SUCK IT OUT, AND THOU SHALT BREAK THE
 SHERDS THEREOF, AND PLUCK OFF THINE OWN BREASTS: FOR I HAVE SPOKEN IT, SAITH
 THE LORD GOD.
# 35 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BECAUSE THOU HAST FORGOTTEN ME, AND
 CAST ME BEHIND THY BACK, THEREFORE BEAR THOU ALSO THY LEWDNESS AND THY
 WHOREDOMS.
# 36 THE LORD SAID MOREOVER UNTO ME; SON OF MAN, WILT THOU JUDGE AHOLAH AND
 AHOLIBAH? YEA, DECLARE UNTO THEM THEIR ABOMINATIONS; IT
# 37 THAT THEY HAVE COMMITTED ADULTERY, AND BLOOD IS IN THEIR HANDS, AND WITH
 THEIR IDOLS HAVE THEY COMMITTED ADULTERY, AND HAVE ALSO CAUSED THEIR SONS,
 WHOM THEY BARE UNTO ME, TO PASS FOR THEM THROUGH THE FIRE, TO DEVOUR THEM.
# 38 MOREOVER THIS THEY HAVE DONE UNTO ME: THEY HAVE DEFILED MY SANCTUARY IN
 THE SAME DAY, AND HAVE PROFANED MY SABBATHS.
# 39 FOR WHEN THEY HAD SLAIN THEIR CHILDREN TO THEIR IDOLS, THEN THEY CAME
 THE SAME DAY INTO MY SANCTUARY TO PROFANE IT; AND, LO, THUS HAVE THEY DONE IN
 THE MIDST OF MINE HOUSE.
# 40 AND FURTHERMORE, THAT YE HAVE SENT FOR MEN TO COME FROM FAR, UNTO WHOM A
 MESSENGER WAS SENT; AND, LO, THEY CAME: FOR WHOM THOU DIDST WASH THYSELF,
 PAINTEDST THY EYES, AND DECKEDST THYSELF WITH ORNAMENTS,
# 41 AND SATEST UPON A STATELY BED, AND A TABLE PREPARED BEFORE IT, WHEREUPON
 THOU HAST SET MINE INCENSE AND MINE OIL.
# 42 AND A VOICE OF A MULTITUDE BEING AT EASE WAS WITH HER: AND WITH THE MEN
 OF THE COMMON SORT WERE BROUGHT SABEANS FROM THE WILDERNESS, WHICH PUT
 BRACELETS UPON THEIR HANDS, AND BEAUTIFUL CROWNS UPON THEIR HEADS.
# 43 THEN SAID I UNTO HER THAT WAS OLD IN ADULTERIES, WILL THEY NOW COMMIT
 WHOREDOMS WITH HER, AND SHE WITH THEM?
# 44 YET THEY WENT IN UNTO HER, AS THEY GO IN UNTO A WOMAN THAT PLAYETH THE
 HARLOT: SO WENT THEY IN UNTO AHOLAH AND UNTO AHOLIBAH, THE LEWD WOMEN.
# 45 AND THE RIGHTEOUS MEN, THEY SHALL JUDGE THEM AFTER THE MANNER OF
 ADULTERESSES, AND AFTER THE MANNER OF WOMEN THAT SHED BLOOD; BECAUSE THEY ARE
 ADULTERESSES, AND BLOOD IS IN THEIR HANDS.
# 46 FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; I WILL BRING UP A COMPANY UPON THEM, AND
 WILL GIVE THEM TO BE REMOVED AND SPOILED.
# 47 AND THE COMPANY SHALL STONE THEM WITH STONES, AND DISPATCH THEM WITH
 THEIR SWORDS; THEY SHALL SLAY THEIR SONS AND THEIR DAUGHTERS, AND BURN UP
 THEIR HOUSES WITH FIRE.
# 48 THUS WILL I CAUSE LEWDNESS TO CEASE OUT OF THE LAND, THAT ALL WOMEN MAY
 BE TAUGHT NOT TO DO AFTER YOUR LEWDNESS.
# 49 AND THEY SHALL RECOMPENSE YOUR LEWDNESS UPON YOU, AND YE SHALL BEAR THE
 SINS OF YOUR IDOLS: AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD GOD.
= CHAPTER 24 
# 1 AGAIN IN THE NINTH YEAR, IN THE TENTH MONTH, IN THE TENTH DAY OF THE
 MONTH, THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 2 SON OF MAN, WRITE THEE THE NAME OF THE DAY, EVEN OF THIS SAME DAY: THE
 KING OF BABYLON SET HIMSELF AGAINST JERUSALEM THIS SAME DAY.
# 3 AND UTTER A PARABLE UNTO THE REBELLIOUS HOUSE, AND SAY UNTO THEM, THUS
 SAITH THE LORD GOD; SET ON A POT, SET IT ON, AND ALSO POUR WATER INTO IT:
# 4 GATHER THE PIECES THEREOF INTO IT, EVEN EVERY GOOD PIECE, THE THIGH, AND
 THE SHOULDER; FILL IT WITH THE CHOICE BONES.
# 5 TAKE THE CHOICE OF THE FLOCK, AND BURN ALSO THE BONES UNDER IT, AND MAKE
 IT BOIL WELL, AND LET THEM SEETHE THE BONES OF IT THEREIN.
# 6 WHEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; WOE TO THE BLOODY CITY, TO THE POT
 WHOSE SCUM IS THEREIN, AND WHOSE SCUM IS NOT GONE OUT OF IT! BRING IT OUT
 PIECE BY PIECE; LET NO LOT FALL UPON IT.
# 7 FOR HER BLOOD IS IN THE MIDST OF HER; SHE SET IT UPON THE TOP OF A ROCK;
 SHE POURED IT NOT UPON THE GROUND, TO COVER IT WITH DUST;
# 8 THAT IT MIGHT CAUSE FURY TO COME UP TO TAKE VENGEANCE; I HAVE SET HER
 BLOOD UPON THE TOP OF A ROCK, THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE COVERED.
# 9 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; WOE TO THE BLOODY CITY! I WILL EVEN
 MAKE THE PILE FOR FIRE GREAT.
# 10 HEAP ON WOOD, KINDLE THE FIRE, CONSUME THE FLESH, AND SPICE IT WELL, AND
 LET THE BONES BE BURNED.
# 11 THEN SET IT EMPTY UPON THE COALS THEREOF, THAT THE BRASS OF IT MAY BE
 HOT, AND MAY BURN, AND THAT THE FILTHINESS OF IT MAY BE MOLTEN IN IT, THAT
 THE SCUM OF IT MAY BE CONSUMED.
# 12 SHE HATH WEARIED HERSELF WITH LIES, AND HER GREAT SCUM WENT NOT FORTH
 OUT OF HER: HER SCUM SHALL BE IN THE FIRE.
# 13 IN THY FILTHINESS IS LEWDNESS: BECAUSE I HAVE PURGED THEE, AND THOU WAST
 NOT PURGED, THOU SHALT NOT BE PURGED FROM THY FILTHINESS ANY MORE, TILL I
 HAVE CAUSED MY FURY TO REST UPON THEE.
# 14 I THE LORD HAVE SPOKEN IT: IT SHALL COME TO PASS, AND I WILL DO IT; I
 WILL NOT GO BACK, NEITHER WILL I SPARE, NEITHER WILL I REPENT; ACCORDING TO
 THY WAYS, AND ACCORDING TO THY DOINGS, SHALL THEY JUDGE THEE, SAITH THE LORD
 GOD.
# 15 ALSO THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 16 SON OF MAN, BEHOLD, I TAKE AWAY FROM THEE THE DESIRE OF THINE EYES WITH
 A STROKE: YET NEITHER SHALT THOU MOURN NOR WEEP, NEITHER SHALL THY TEARS RUN
 DOWN.
# 17 FORBEAR TO CRY, MAKE NO MOURNING FOR THE DEAD, BIND THE TIRE OF THINE
 HEAD UPON THEE, AND PUT ON THY SHOES UPON THY FEET, AND COVER NOT THY LIPS,
 AND EAT NOT THE BREAD OF MEN.
# 18 SO I SPAKE UNTO THE PEOPLE IN THE MORNING: AND AT EVEN MY WIFE DIED; AND
 I DID IN THE MORNING AS I WAS COMMANDED.
# 19 AND THE PEOPLE SAID UNTO ME, WILT THOU NOT TELL US WHAT THESE THINGS ARE
 TO US, THAT THOU DOEST SO?
# 20 THEN I ANSWERED THEM, THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 21 SPEAK UNTO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BEHOLD, I WILL
 PROFANE MY SANCTUARY, THE EXCELLENCY OF YOUR STRENGTH, THE DESIRE OF YOUR
 EYES, AND THAT WHICH YOUR SOUL PITIETH; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS WHOM
 YE HAVE LEFT SHALL FALL BY THE SWORD.
# 22 AND YE SHALL DO AS I HAVE DONE: YE SHALL NOT COVER YOUR LIPS, NOR EAT
 THE BREAD OF MEN.
# 23 AND YOUR TIRES SHALL BE UPON YOUR HEADS, AND YOUR SHOES UPON YOUR FEET:
 YE SHALL NOT MOURN NOR WEEP; BUT YE SHALL PINE AWAY FOR YOUR INIQUITIES, AND
 MOURN ONE TOWARD ANOTHER.

 THEIR STRENGTH, THE JOY OF THEIR GLORY, THE DESIRE OF THEIR EYES, AND THAT
 WHEREUPON THEY SET THEIR MINDS, THEIR SONS AND THEIR DAUGHTERS,

# 1 THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME AGAIN UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 2 SON OF MAN, SET THY FACE AGAINST THE AMMONITES, AND PROPHESY AGAINST
 THEM;
# 3 AND SAY UNTO THE AMMONITES, HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD GOD; THUS SAITH THE
 LORD GOD; BECAUSE THOU SAIDST, AHA, AGAINST MY SANCTUARY, WHEN IT WAS
 PROFANED; AND AGAINST THE LAND OF ISRAEL, WHEN IT WAS DESOLATE; AND AGAINST
 THE HOUSE OF JUDAH, WHEN THEY WENT INTO CAPTIVITY;
# 4 BEHOLD, THEREFORE I WILL DELIVER THEE TO THE MEN OF THE EAST FOR A
 POSSESSION, AND THEY SHALL SET THEIR PALACES IN THEE, AND MAKE THEIR
 DWELLINGS IN THEE: THEY SHALL EAT THY FRUIT, AND THEY SHALL DRINK THY MILK.
# 5 AND I WILL MAKE RABBAH A STABLE FOR CAMELS, AND THE AMMONITES A COUCHING
 PLACE FOR FLOCKS: AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
# 6 FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BECAUSE THOU HAST CLAPPED THINE HANDS, AND
 STAMPED WITH THE FEET, AND REJOICED IN HEART WITH ALL THY DESPITE AGAINST THE
 LAND OF ISRAEL;
# 7 BEHOLD, THEREFORE I WILL STRETCH OUT MINE HAND UPON THEE, AND WILL
 DELIVER THEE FOR A SPOIL TO THE HEATHEN; AND I WILL CUT THEE OFF FROM THE
 PEOPLE, AND I WILL CAUSE THEE TO PERISH OUT OF THE COUNTRIES: I WILL DESTROY
 THEE; AND THOU SHALT KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
# 8 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BECAUSE THAT MOAB AND SEIR DO SAY, BEHOLD, THE
 HOUSE OF JUDAH IS LIKE UNTO ALL THE HEATHEN;
# 9 THEREFORE, BEHOLD, I WILL OPEN THE SIDE OF MOAB FROM THE CITIES, FROM HIS
 CITIES WHICH ARE ON HIS FRONTIERS, THE GLORY OF THE COUNTRY, BETHJESHIMOTH,
 BAALMEON, AND KIRIATHAIM,
# 10 UNTO THE MEN OF THE EAST WITH THE AMMONITES, AND WILL GIVE THEM IN
 POSSESSION, THAT THE AMMONITES MAY NOT BE REMEMBERED AMONG THE NATIONS.
# 11 AND I WILL EXECUTE JUDGMENTS UPON MOAB; AND THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I AM
 THE LORD.
# 12 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BECAUSE THAT EDOM HATH DEALT AGAINST THE HOUSE
 OF JUDAH BY TAKING VENGEANCE, AND HATH GREATLY OFFENDED, AND REVENGED HIMSELF
 UPON THEM;
# 13 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; I WILL ALSO STRETCH OUT MINE HAND
 UPON EDOM, AND WILL CUT OFF MAN AND BEAST FROM IT; AND I WILL MAKE IT
 DESOLATE FROM TEMAN; AND THEY OF DEDAN SHALL FALL BY THE SWORD.
# 14 AND I WILL LAY MY VENGEANCE UPON EDOM BY THE HAND OF MY PEOPLE ISRAEL:
 AND THEY SHALL DO IN EDOM ACCORDING TO MINE ANGER AND ACCORDING TO MY FURY;
 AND THEY SHALL KNOW MY VENGEANCE, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 15 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BECAUSE THE PHILISTINES HAVE DEALT BY REVENGE,
 AND HAVE TAKEN VENGEANCE WITH A DESPITEFUL HEART, TO DESTROY IT FOR THE OLD
 HATRED;
# 16 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BEHOLD, I WILL STRETCH OUT MINE HAND
 UPON THE PHILISTINES, AND I WILL CUT OFF THE CHERETHIMS, AND DESTROY THE
 REMNANT OF THE SEA COAST.
# 17 AND I WILL EXECUTE GREAT VENGEANCE UPON THEM WITH FURIOUS REBUKES; AND
 THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD, WHEN I SHALL LAY MY VENGEANCE UPON THEM.

# 1 AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THE ELEVENTH YEAR, IN THE FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH,
 THAT THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 2 SON OF MAN, BECAUSE THAT TYRUS HATH SAID AGAINST JERUSALEM, AHA, SHE IS
 BROKEN THAT WAS THE GATES OF THE PEOPLE: SHE IS TURNED UNTO ME: I SHALL BE
 REPLENISHED, NOW SHE IS LAID WASTE:
# 3 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BEHOLD, I AM AGAINST THEE, O TYRUS,
 AND WILL CAUSE MANY NATIONS TO COME UP AGAINST THEE, AS THE SEA CAUSETH HIS
 WAVES TO COME UP.
# 4 AND THEY SHALL DESTROY THE WALLS OF TYRUS, AND BREAK DOWN HER TOWERS: I
 WILL ALSO SCRAPE HER DUST FROM HER, AND MAKE HER LIKE THE TOP OF A ROCK.
# 5 IT SHALL BE A PLACE FOR THE SPREADING OF NETS IN THE MIDST OF THE SEA:
 FOR I HAVE SPOKEN IT, SAITH THE LORD GOD: AND IT SHALL BECOME A SPOIL TO THE
 NATIONS.
# 6 AND HER DAUGHTERS WHICH ARE IN THE FIELD SHALL BE SLAIN BY THE SWORD; AND
 THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
# 7 FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BEHOLD, I WILL BRING UPON TYRUS
 NEBUCHADREZZAR KING OF BABYLON, A KING OF KINGS, FROM THE NORTH, WITH HORSES,
 AND WITH CHARIOTS, AND WITH HORSEMEN, AND COMPANIES, AND MUCH PEOPLE.
# 8 HE SHALL SLAY WITH THE SWORD THY DAUGHTERS IN THE FIELD: AND HE SHALL
 MAKE A FORT AGAINST THEE, AND CAST A MOUNT AGAINST THEE, AND LIFT UP THE
 BUCKLER AGAINST THEE.
# 9 AND HE SHALL SET ENGINES OF WAR AGAINST THY WALLS, AND WITH HIS AXES HE
 SHALL BREAK DOWN THY TOWERS.
# 10 BY REASON OF THE ABUNDANCE OF HIS HORSES THEIR DUST SHALL COVER THEE:
 THY WALLS SHALL SHAKE AT THE NOISE OF THE HORSEMEN, AND OF THE WHEELS, AND OF
 THE CHARIOTS, WHEN HE SHALL ENTER INTO THY GATES, AS MEN ENTER INTO A CITY
 WHEREIN IS MADE A BREACH.
# 11 WITH THE HOOFS OF HIS HORSES SHALL HE TREAD DOWN ALL THY STREETS: HE
 SHALL SLAY THY PEOPLE BY THE SWORD, AND THY STRONG GARRISONS SHALL GO DOWN TO
 THE GROUND.
# 12 AND THEY SHALL MAKE A SPOIL OF THY RICHES, AND MAKE A PREY OF THY
 MERCHANDISE: AND THEY SHALL BREAK DOWN THY WALLS, AND DESTROY THY PLEASANT
 HOUSES: AND THEY SHALL LAY THY STONES AND THY TIMBER AND THY DUST IN THE
 MIDST OF THE WATER.
# 13 AND I WILL CAUSE THE NOISE OF THY SONGS TO CEASE; AND THE SOUND OF THY
 HARPS SHALL BE NO MORE HEARD.
# 14 AND I WILL MAKE THEE LIKE THE TOP OF A ROCK: THOU SHALT BE A PLACE TO
 SPREAD NETS UPON; THOU SHALT BE BUILT NO MORE: FOR I THE LORD HAVE SPOKEN IT,
 SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 15 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD TO TYRUS; SHALL NOT THE ISLES SHAKE AT THE SOUND
 OF THY FALL, WHEN THE WOUNDED CRY, WHEN THE SLAUGHTER IS MADE IN THE MIDST OF
 THEE?
# 16 THEN ALL THE PRINCES OF THE SEA SHALL COME DOWN FROM THEIR THRONES, AND
 LAY AWAY THEIR ROBES, AND PUT OFF THEIR BROIDERED GARMENTS: THEY SHALL CLOTHE
 THEMSELVES WITH TREMBLING; THEY SHALL SIT UPON THE GROUND, AND SHALL TREMBLE
 AT EVERY MOMENT, AND BE ASTONISHED AT THEE.
# 17 AND THEY SHALL TAKE UP A LAMENTATION FOR THEE, AND SAY TO THEE, HOW ART
 THOU DESTROYED, THAT WAST INHABITED OF SEAFARING MEN, THE RENOWNED CITY,
 WHICH WAST STRONG IN THE SEA, SHE AND HER INHABITANTS, WHICH CAUSE THEIR
 TERROR TO BE ON ALL THAT HAUNT IT!
# 18 NOW SHALL THE ISLES TREMBLE IN THE DAY OF THY FALL; YEA, THE ISLES THAT
 ARE IN THE SEA SHALL BE TROUBLED AT THY DEPARTURE.
# 19 FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; WHEN I SHALL MAKE THEE A DESOLATE CITY,
 LIKE THE CITIES THAT ARE NOT INHABITED; WHEN I SHALL BRING UP THE DEEP UPON
 THEE, AND GREAT WATERS SHALL COVER THEE;
# 20 WHEN I SHALL BRING THEE DOWN WITH THEM THAT DESCEND INTO THE PIT, WITH
 THE PEOPLE OF OLD TIME, AND SHALL SET THEE IN THE LOW PARTS OF THE EARTH, IN
 PLACES DESOLATE OF OLD, WITH THEM THAT GO DOWN TO THE PIT, THAT THOU BE NOT
 INHABITED; AND I SHALL SET GLORY IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING;

 SOUGHT FOR, YET SHALT THOU NEVER BE FOUND AGAIN, SAITH THE LORD GOD.

 WHICH ART A MERCHANT OF THE PEOPLE FOR MANY ISLES, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; O
 TYRUS, THOU HAST SAID, I AM OF PERFECT BEAUTY.
# 4 THY BORDERS ARE IN THE MIDST OF THE SEAS, THY BUILDERS HAVE PERFECTED THY
 BEAUTY.
# 5 THEY HAVE MADE ALL THY SHIP BOARDS OF FIR TREES OF SENIR: THEY HAVE TAKEN
 CEDARS FROM LEBANON TO MAKE MASTS FOR THEE.
# 6 OF THE OAKS OF BASHAN HAVE THEY MADE THINE OARS; THE COMPANY OF THE
 ASHURITES HAVE MADE THY BENCHES OF IVORY, BROUGHT OUT OF THE ISLES OF
 CHITTIM.
# 7 FINE LINEN WITH BROIDERED WORK FROM EGYPT WAS THAT WHICH THOU SPREADEST
 FORTH TO BE THY SAIL; BLUE AND PURPLE FROM THE ISLES OF ELISHAH WAS THAT
 WHICH COVERED THEE.
# 8 THE INHABITANTS OF ZIDON AND ARVAD WERE THY MARINERS: THY WISE MEN, O
 TYRUS, THAT WERE IN THEE, WERE THY PILOTS.
# 9 THE ANCIENTS OF GEBAL AND THE WISE MEN THEREOF WERE IN THEE THY CALKERS:
 ALL THE SHIPS OF THE SEA WITH THEIR MARINERS WERE IN THEE TO OCCUPY THY
 MERCHANDISE.
# 10 THEY OF PERSIA AND OF LUD AND OF PHUT WERE IN THINE ARMY, THY MEN OF
 WAR: THEY HANGED THE SHIELD AND HELMET IN THEE; THEY SET FORTH THY
 COMELINESS.
# 11 THE MEN OF ARVAD WITH THINE ARMY WERE UPON THY WALLS ROUND ABOUT, AND
 THE GAMMADIMS WERE IN THY TOWERS: THEY HANGED THEIR SHIELDS UPON THY WALLS
 ROUND ABOUT; THEY HAVE MADE THY BEAUTY PERFECT.
# 12 TARSHISH WAS THY MERCHANT BY REASON OF THE MULTITUDE OF ALL KIND OF
 RICHES; WITH SILVER, IRON, TIN, AND LEAD, THEY TRADED IN THY FAIRS.
# 13 JAVAN, TUBAL, AND MESHECH, THEY WERE THY MERCHANTS: THEY TRADED THE
 PERSONS OF MEN AND VESSELS OF BRASS IN THY MARKET.
# 14 THEY OF THE HOUSE OF TOGARMAH TRADED IN THY FAIRS WITH HORSES AND
 HORSEMEN AND MULES.
# 15 THE MEN OF DEDAN WERE THY MERCHANTS; MANY ISLES WERE THE MERCHANDISE OF
 THINE HAND: THEY BROUGHT THEE FOR A PRESENT HORNS OF IVORY AND EBONY.
# 16 SYRIA WAS THY MERCHANT BY REASON OF THE MULTITUDE OF THE WARES OF THY
 MAKING: THEY OCCUPIED IN THY FAIRS WITH EMERALDS, PURPLE, AND BROIDERED WORK,
 AND FINE LINEN, AND CORAL, AND AGATE.
# 17 JUDAH, AND THE LAND OF ISRAEL, THEY WERE THY MERCHANTS: THEY TRADED IN
 THY MARKET WHEAT OF MINNITH, AND PANNAG, AND HONEY, AND OIL, AND BALM.
# 18 DAMASCUS WAS THY MERCHANT IN THE MULTITUDE OF THE WARES OF THY MAKING,
 FOR THE MULTITUDE OF ALL RICHES; IN THE WINE OF HELBON, AND WHITE WOOL.
# 19 DAN ALSO AND JAVAN GOING TO AND FRO OCCUPIED IN THY FAIRS: BRIGHT IRON,
 CASSIA, AND CALAMUS, WERE IN THY MARKET.
# 20 DEDAN WAS THY MERCHANT IN PRECIOUS CLOTHES FOR CHARIOTS.
# 21 ARABIA, AND ALL THE PRINCES OF KEDAR, THEY OCCUPIED WITH THEE IN LAMBS,
 AND RAMS, AND GOATS: IN THESE WERE THEY THY MERCHANTS.
# 22 THE MERCHANTS OF SHEBA AND RAAMAH, THEY WERE THY MERCHANTS: THEY
 OCCUPIED IN THY FAIRS WITH CHIEF OF ALL SPICES, AND WITH ALL PRECIOUS STONES,
 AND GOLD.
# 23 HARAN, AND CANNEH, AND EDEN, THE MERCHANTS OF SHEBA, ASSHUR, AND
 CHILMAD, WERE THY MERCHANTS.
# 24 THESE WERE THY MERCHANTS IN ALL SORTS OF THINGS, IN BLUE CLOTHES, AND
 BROIDERED WORK, AND IN CHESTS OF RICH APPAREL, BOUND WITH CORDS, AND MADE OF
 CEDAR, AMONG THY MERCHANDISE.
# 25 THE SHIPS OF TARSHISH DID SING OF THEE IN THY MARKET: AND THOU WAST
 REPLENISHED, AND MADE VERY GLORIOUS IN THE MIDST OF THE SEAS.
# 26 THY ROWERS HAVE BROUGHT THEE INTO GREAT WATERS: THE EAST WIND HATH
 BROKEN THEE IN THE MIDST OF THE SEAS.
# 27 THY RICHES, AND THY FAIRS, THY MERCHANDISE, THY MARINERS, AND THY
 PILOTS, THY CALKERS, AND THE OCCUPIERS OF THY MERCHANDISE, AND ALL THY MEN OF
 WAR, THAT ARE IN THEE, AND IN ALL THY COMPANY WHICH IS IN THE MIDST OF THEE,
 SHALL FALL INTO THE MIDST OF THE SEAS IN THE DAY OF THY RUIN.
# 28 THE SUBURBS SHALL SHAKE AT THE SOUND OF THE CRY OF THY PILOTS.
# 29 AND ALL THAT HANDLE THE OAR, THE MARINERS, AND ALL THE PILOTS OF THE
 SEA, SHALL COME DOWN FROM THEIR SHIPS, THEY SHALL STAND UPON THE LAND;
# 30 AND SHALL CAUSE THEIR VOICE TO BE HEARD AGAINST THEE, AND SHALL CRY
 BITTERLY, AND SHALL CAST UP DUST UPON THEIR HEADS, THEY SHALL WALLOW
 THEMSELVES IN THE ASHES:
# 31 AND THEY SHALL MAKE THEMSELVES UTTERLY BALD FOR THEE, AND GIRD THEM WITH
 SACKCLOTH, AND THEY SHALL WEEP FOR THEE WITH BITTERNESS OF HEART AND BITTER
 WAILING.
# 32 AND IN THEIR WAILING THEY SHALL TAKE UP A LAMENTATION FOR THEE, AND
 LAMENT OVER THEE, SAYING, WHAT CITY IS LIKE TYRUS, LIKE THE DESTROYED IN THE
 MIDST OF THE SEA?
# 33 WHEN THY WARES WENT FORTH OUT OF THE SEAS, THOU FILLEDST MANY PEOPLE;
 THOU DIDST ENRICH THE KINGS OF THE EARTH WITH THE MULTITUDE OF THY RICHES AND
 OF THY MERCHANDISE.
# 34 IN THE TIME WHEN THOU SHALT BE BROKEN BY THE SEAS IN THE DEPTHS OF THE
 WATERS THY MERCHANDISE AND ALL THY COMPANY IN THE MIDST OF THEE SHALL FALL.
# 35 ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE ISLES SHALL BE ASTONISHED AT THEE, AND THEIR
 KINGS SHALL BE SORE AFRAID, THEY SHALL BE TROUBLED IN THEIR COUNTENANCE.

 THOUGH THOU SET THINE HEART AS THE HEART OF GOD:
# 3 BEHOLD, THOU ART WISER THAN DANIEL; THERE IS NO SECRET THAT THEY CAN HIDE
 FROM THEE:
# 4 WITH THY WISDOM AND WITH THINE UNDERSTANDING THOU HAST GOTTEN THEE
 RICHES, AND HAST GOTTEN GOLD AND SILVER INTO THY TREASURES:
# 5 BY THY GREAT WISDOM AND BY THY TRAFFICK HAST THOU INCREASED THY RICHES,
 AND THINE HEART IS LIFTED UP BECAUSE OF THY RICHES:
# 6 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BECAUSE THOU HAST SET THINE HEART AS
 THE HEART OF GOD;

 NATIONS: AND THEY SHALL DRAW THEIR SWORDS AGAINST THE BEAUTY OF THY WISDOM,
 AND THEY SHALL DEFILE THY BRIGHTNESS.

 HIM, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; THOU SEALEST UP THE SUM, FULL OF WISDOM, AND
 PERFECT IN BEAUTY.

 COVERING, THE SARDIUS, TOPAZ, AND THE DIAMOND, THE BERYL, THE ONYX, AND THE
 JASPER, THE SAPPHIRE, THE EMERALD, AND THE CARBUNCLE, AND GOLD: THE
 WORKMANSHIP OF THY TABRETS AND OF THY PIPES WAS PREPARED IN THEE IN THE DAY
 THAT THOU WAST CREATED.
# 14 THOU ART THE ANOINTED CHERUB THAT COVERETH; AND I HAVE SET THEE SO: THOU

 PHARAOH KING OF EGYPT, THE GREAT DRAGON THAT LIETH IN THE MIDST OF HIS
 RIVERS, WHICH HATH SAID, MY RIVER IS MINE OWN, AND I HAVE MADE IT FOR MYSELF.
# 4 BUT I WILL PUT HOOKS IN THY JAWS, AND I WILL CAUSE THE FISH OF THY RIVERS
 TO STICK UNTO THY SCALES, AND I WILL BRING THEE UP OUT OF THE MIDST OF THY
 RIVERS, AND ALL THE FISH OF THY RIVERS SHALL STICK UNTO THY SCALES.
# 5 AND I WILL LEAVE THEE THROWN INTO THE WILDERNESS, THEE AND ALL THE FISH
 OF THY RIVERS: THOU SHALT FALL UPON THE OPEN FIELDS; THOU SHALT NOT BE
 BROUGHT TOGETHER, NOR GATHERED: I HAVE GIVEN THEE FOR MEAT TO THE BEASTS OF
 THE FIELD AND TO THE FOWLS OF THE HEAVEN.
# 6 AND ALL THE INHABITANTS OF EGYPT SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD, BECAUSE
 THEY HAVE BEEN A STAFF OF REED TO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.

 THEIR SHOULDER: AND WHEN THEY LEANED UPON THEE, THOU BRAKEST, AND MADEST ALL
 THEIR LOINS TO BE AT A STAND.

 MAKE THE LAND OF EGYPT UTTERLY WASTE AND DESOLATE, FROM THE TOWER OF SYENE
 EVEN UNTO THE BORDER OF ETHIOPIA.
# 11 NO FOOT OF MAN SHALL PASS THROUGH IT, NOR FOOT OF BEAST SHALL PASS
 THROUGH IT, NEITHER SHALL IT BE INHABITED FORTY YEARS.
# 12 AND I WILL MAKE THE LAND OF EGYPT DESOLATE IN THE MIDST OF THE COUNTRIES
 THAT ARE DESOLATE, AND HER CITIES AMONG THE CITIES THAT ARE LAID WASTE SHALL
 BE DESOLATE FORTY YEARS: AND I WILL SCATTER THE EGYPTIANS AMONG THE NATIONS,
 AND WILL DISPERSE THEM THROUGH THE COUNTRIES.

 EGYPTIANS FROM THE PEOPLE WHITHER THEY WERE SCATTERED:

 RETURN INTO THE LAND OF PATHROS, INTO THE LAND OF THEIR HABITATION; AND THEY
 SHALL BE THERE A BASE KINGDOM.
# 15 IT SHALL BE THE BASEST OF THE KINGDOMS; NEITHER SHALL IT EXALT ITSELF
 ANY MORE ABOVE THE NATIONS: FOR I WILL DIMINISH THEM, THAT THEY SHALL NO MORE
 RULE OVER THE NATIONS.

 GREAT SERVICE AGAINST TYRUS: EVERY HEAD WAS MADE BALD, AND EVERY SHOULDER WAS
 PEELED: YET HAD HE NO WAGES, NOR HIS ARMY, FOR TYRUS, FOR THE SERVICE THAT HE
 HAD SERVED AGAINST IT:

 RUNNING ROUND ABOUT HIS PLANTS, AND SENT HER LITTLE RIVERS UNTO ALL THE TREES
 OF THE FIELD.
# 5 THEREFORE HIS HEIGHT WAS EXALTED ABOVE ALL THE TREES OF THE FIELD, AND
 HIS BOUGHS WERE MULTIPLIED, AND HIS BRANCHES BECAME LONG BECAUSE OF THE
 MULTITUDE OF WATERS, WHEN HE SHOT FORTH.
# 6 ALL THE FOWLS OF HEAVEN MADE THEIR NESTS IN HIS BOUGHS, AND UNDER HIS
 BRANCHES DID ALL THE BEASTS OF THE FIELD BRING FORTH THEIR YOUNG, AND UNDER
 HIS SHADOW DWELT ALL GREAT NATIONS.
# 7 THUS WAS HE FAIR IN HIS GREATNESS, IN THE LENGTH OF HIS BRANCHES: FOR HIS
 ROOT WAS BY GREAT WATERS.
# 8 THE CEDARS IN THE GARDEN OF GOD COULD NOT HIDE HIM: THE FIR TREES WERE
 NOT LIKE HIS BOUGHS, AND THE CHESTNUT TREES WERE NOT LIKE HIS BRANCHES; NOR
 ANY TREE IN THE GARDEN OF GOD WAS LIKE UNTO HIM IN HIS BEAUTY.
# 9 I HAVE MADE HIM FAIR BY THE MULTITUDE OF HIS BRANCHES: SO THAT ALL THE
 TREES OF EDEN, THAT WERE IN THE GARDEN OF GOD, ENVIED HIM.
# 10 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BECAUSE THOU HAST LIFTED UP THYSELF
 IN HEIGHT, AND HE HATH SHOT UP HIS TOP AMONG THE THICK BOUGHS, AND HIS HEART
 IS LIFTED UP IN HIS HEIGHT;
# 11 I HAVE THEREFORE DELIVERED HIM INTO THE HAND OF THE MIGHTY ONE OF THE
 HEATHEN; HE SHALL SURELY DEAL WITH HIM: I HAVE DRIVEN HIM OUT FOR HIS
 WICKEDNESS.
# 12 AND STRANGERS, THE TERRIBLE OF THE NATIONS, HAVE CUT HIM OFF, AND HAVE
 LEFT HIM: UPON THE MOUNTAINS AND IN ALL THE VALLEYS HIS BRANCHES ARE FALLEN,
 AND HIS BOUGHS ARE BROKEN BY ALL THE RIVERS OF THE LAND; AND ALL THE PEOPLE
 OF THE EARTH ARE GONE DOWN FROM HIS SHADOW, AND HAVE LEFT HIM.
# 13 UPON HIS RUIN SHALL ALL THE FOWLS OF THE HEAVEN REMAIN, AND ALL THE
 BEASTS OF THE FIELD SHALL BE UPON HIS BRANCHES:
# 14 TO THE END THAT NONE OF ALL THE TREES BY THE WATERS EXALT THEMSELVES FOR
 THEIR HEIGHT, NEITHER SHOOT UP THEIR TOP AMONG THE THICK BOUGHS, NEITHER
 THEIR TREES STAND UP IN THEIR HEIGHT, ALL THAT DRINK WATER: FOR THEY ARE ALL
 DELIVERED UNTO DEATH, TO THE NETHER PARTS OF THE EARTH, IN THE MIDST OF THE
 CHILDREN OF MEN, WITH THEM THAT GO DOWN TO THE PIT.
# 15 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; IN THE DAY WHEN HE WENT DOWN TO THE GRAVE I
 CAUSED A MOURNING: I COVERED THE DEEP FOR HIM, AND I RESTRAINED THE FLOODS
 THEREOF, AND THE GREAT WATERS WERE STAYED: AND I CAUSED LEBANON TO MOURN FOR
 HIM, AND ALL THE TREES OF THE FIELD FAINTED FOR HIM.
# 16 I MADE THE NATIONS TO SHAKE AT THE SOUND OF HIS FALL, WHEN I CAST HIM
 DOWN TO HELL WITH THEM THAT DESCEND INTO THE PIT: AND ALL THE TREES OF EDEN,
 THE CHOICE AND BEST OF LEBANON, ALL THAT DRINK WATER, SHALL BE COMFORTED IN
 THE NETHER PARTS OF THE EARTH.
# 17 THEY ALSO WENT DOWN INTO HELL WITH HIM UNTO THEM THAT BE SLAIN WITH THE
 SWORD; AND THEY THAT WERE HIS ARM, THAT DWELT UNDER HIS SHADOW IN THE MIDST
 OF THE HEATHEN.
# 18 TO WHOM ART THOU THUS LIKE IN GLORY AND IN GREATNESS AMONG THE TREES OF
 EDEN? YET SHALT THOU BE BROUGHT DOWN WITH THE TREES OF EDEN UNTO THE NETHER
 PARTS OF THE EARTH: THOU SHALT LIE IN THE MIDST OF THE UNCIRCUMCISED WITH
 THEM THAT BE SLAIN BY THE SWORD. THIS IS PHARAOH AND ALL HIS MULTITUDE, SAITH
 THE LORD GOD.
= CHAPTER 32 
# 1 AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THE TWELFTH YEAR, IN THE TWELFTH MONTH, IN THE
 FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH, THAT THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 2 SON OF MAN, TAKE UP A LAMENTATION FOR PHARAOH KING OF EGYPT, AND SAY UNTO
 HIM, THOU ART LIKE A YOUNG LION OF THE NATIONS, AND THOU ART AS A WHALE IN
 THE SEAS: AND THOU CAMEST FORTH WITH THY RIVERS, AND TROUBLEDST THE WATERS
 WITH THY FEET, AND FOULEDST THEIR RIVERS.
# 3 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; I WILL THEREFORE SPREAD OUT MY NET OVER THEE
 WITH A COMPANY OF MANY PEOPLE; AND THEY SHALL BRING THEE UP IN MY NET.
# 4 THEN WILL I LEAVE THEE UPON THE LAND, I WILL CAST THEE FORTH UPON THE
 OPEN FIELD, AND WILL CAUSE ALL THE FOWLS OF THE HEAVEN TO REMAIN UPON THEE,
 AND I WILL FILL THE BEASTS OF THE WHOLE EARTH WITH THEE.
# 5 AND I WILL LAY THY FLESH UPON THE MOUNTAINS, AND FILL THE VALLEYS WITH
 THY HEIGHT.
# 6 I WILL ALSO WATER WITH THY BLOOD THE LAND WHEREIN THOU SWIMMEST, EVEN TO
 THE MOUNTAINS; AND THE RIVERS SHALL BE FULL OF THEE.
# 7 AND WHEN I SHALL PUT THEE OUT, I WILL COVER THE HEAVEN, AND MAKE THE
 STARS THEREOF DARK; I WILL COVER THE SUN WITH A CLOUD, AND THE MOON SHALL NOT
 GIVE HER LIGHT.
# 8 ALL THE BRIGHT LIGHTS OF HEAVEN WILL I MAKE DARK OVER THEE, AND SET
 DARKNESS UPON THY LAND, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 9 I WILL ALSO VEX THE HEARTS OF MANY PEOPLE, WHEN I SHALL BRING THY
 DESTRUCTION AMONG THE NATIONS, INTO THE COUNTRIES WHICH THOU HAST NOT KNOWN.
# 10 YEA, I WILL MAKE MANY PEOPLE AMAZED AT THEE, AND THEIR KINGS SHALL BE
 HORRIBLY AFRAID FOR THEE, WHEN I SHALL BRANDISH MY SWORD BEFORE THEM; AND
 THEY SHALL TREMBLE AT EVERY MOMENT, EVERY MAN FOR HIS OWN LIFE, IN THE DAY OF
 THY FALL.
# 11 FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; THE SWORD OF THE KING OF BABYLON SHALL COME
 UPON THEE.
# 12 BY THE SWORDS OF THE MIGHTY WILL I CAUSE THY MULTITUDE TO FALL, THE
 TERRIBLE OF THE NATIONS, ALL OF THEM: AND THEY SHALL SPOIL THE POMP OF EGYPT,
 AND ALL THE MULTITUDE THEREOF SHALL BE DESTROYED.
# 13 I WILL DESTROY ALSO ALL THE BEASTS THEREOF FROM BESIDE THE GREAT WATERS;
 NEITHER SHALL THE FOOT OF MAN TROUBLE THEM ANY MORE, NOR THE HOOFS OF BEASTS
 TROUBLE THEM.
# 14 THEN WILL I MAKE THEIR WATERS DEEP, AND CAUSE THEIR RIVERS TO RUN LIKE
 OIL, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 15 WHEN I SHALL MAKE THE LAND OF EGYPT DESOLATE, AND THE COUNTRY SHALL BE
 DESTITUTE OF THAT WHEREOF IT WAS FULL, WHEN I SHALL SMITE ALL THEM THAT DWELL
 THEREIN, THEN SHALL THEY KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
# 16 THIS IS THE LAMENTATION WHEREWITH THEY SHALL LAMENT HER: THE DAUGHTERS
 OF THE NATIONS SHALL LAMENT HER: THEY SHALL LAMENT FOR HER, EVEN FOR EGYPT,
 AND FOR ALL HER MULTITUDE, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 17 IT CAME TO PASS ALSO IN THE TWELFTH YEAR, IN THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF THE
 MONTH, THAT THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 18 SON OF MAN, WAIL FOR THE MULTITUDE OF EGYPT, AND CAST THEM DOWN, EVEN
 HER, AND THE DAUGHTERS OF THE FAMOUS NATIONS, UNTO THE NETHER PARTS OF THE
 EARTH, WITH THEM THAT GO DOWN INTO THE PIT.
# 19 WHOM DOST THOU PASS IN BEAUTY? GO DOWN, AND BE THOU LAID WITH THE
 UNCIRCUMCISED.
# 20 THEY SHALL FALL IN THE MIDST OF THEM THAT ARE SLAIN BY THE SWORD: SHE IS
 DELIVERED TO THE SWORD: DRAW HER AND ALL HER MULTITUDES.
# 21 THE STRONG AMONG THE MIGHTY SHALL SPEAK TO HIM OUT OF THE MIDST OF HELL
 WITH THEM THAT HELP HIM: THEY ARE GONE DOWN, THEY LIE UNCIRCUMCISED, SLAIN BY
 THE SWORD.
# 22 ASSHUR IS THERE AND ALL HER COMPANY: HIS GRAVES ARE ABOUT HIM: ALL OF
 THEM SLAIN, FALLEN BY THE SWORD:
# 23 WHOSE GRAVES ARE SET IN THE SIDES OF THE PIT, AND HER COMPANY IS ROUND
 ABOUT HER GRAVE: ALL OF THEM SLAIN, FALLEN BY THE SWORD, WHICH CAUSED TERROR
 IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING.
# 24 THERE IS ELAM AND ALL HER MULTITUDE ROUND ABOUT HER GRAVE, ALL OF THEM
 SLAIN, FALLEN BY THE SWORD, WHICH ARE GONE DOWN UNCIRCUMCISED INTO THE NETHER
 PARTS OF THE EARTH, WHICH CAUSED THEIR TERROR IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING; YET
 HAVE THEY BORNE THEIR SHAME WITH THEM THAT GO DOWN TO THE PIT.
# 25 THEY HAVE SET HER A BED IN THE MIDST OF THE SLAIN WITH ALL HER
 MULTITUDE: HER GRAVES ARE ROUND ABOUT HIM: ALL OF THEM UNCIRCUMCISED, SLAIN
 BY THE SWORD: THOUGH THEIR TERROR WAS CAUSED IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING, YET
 HAVE THEY BORNE THEIR SHAME WITH THEM THAT GO DOWN TO THE PIT: HE IS PUT IN
 THE MIDST OF THEM THAT BE SLAIN.
# 26 THERE IS MESHECH, TUBAL, AND ALL HER MULTITUDE: HER GRAVES ARE ROUND
 ABOUT HIM: ALL OF THEM UNCIRCUMCISED, SLAIN BY THE SWORD, THOUGH THEY CAUSED
 THEIR TERROR IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING.
# 27 AND THEY SHALL NOT LIE WITH THE MIGHTY THAT ARE FALLEN OF THE
 UNCIRCUMCISED, WHICH ARE GONE DOWN TO HELL WITH THEIR WEAPONS OF WAR: AND
 THEY HAVE LAID THEIR SWORDS UNDER THEIR HEADS, BUT THEIR INIQUITIES SHALL BE
 UPON THEIR BONES, THOUGH THEY WERE THE TERROR OF THE MIGHTY IN THE LAND OF
 THE LIVING.
# 28 YEA, THOU SHALT BE BROKEN IN THE MIDST OF THE UNCIRCUMCISED, AND SHALT
 LIE WITH THEM THAT ARE SLAIN WITH THE SWORD.
# 29 THERE IS EDOM, HER KINGS, AND ALL HER PRINCES, WHICH WITH THEIR MIGHT
 ARE LAID BY THEM THAT WERE SLAIN BY THE SWORD: THEY SHALL LIE WITH THE
 UNCIRCUMCISED, AND WITH THEM THAT GO DOWN TO THE PIT.
# 30 THERE BE THE PRINCES OF THE NORTH, ALL OF THEM, AND ALL THE ZIDONIANS,
 WHICH ARE GONE DOWN WITH THE SLAIN; WITH THEIR TERROR THEY ARE ASHAMED OF
 THEIR MIGHT; AND THEY LIE UNCIRCUMCISED WITH THEM THAT BE SLAIN BY THE SWORD,
 AND BEAR THEIR SHAME WITH THEM THAT GO DOWN TO THE PIT.
# 31 PHARAOH SHALL SEE THEM, AND SHALL BE COMFORTED OVER ALL HIS MULTITUDE,
 EVEN PHARAOH AND ALL HIS ARMY SLAIN BY THE SWORD, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 32 FOR I HAVE CAUSED MY TERROR IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING: AND HE SHALL BE

= CHAPTER 33 
# 1 AGAIN THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 2 SON OF MAN, SPEAK TO THE CHILDREN OF THY PEOPLE, AND SAY UNTO THEM, WHEN
 I BRING THE SWORD UPON A LAND, IF THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND TAKE A MAN OF THEIR
 COASTS, AND SET HIM FOR THEIR WATCHMAN:
# 3 IF WHEN HE SEETH THE SWORD COME UPON THE LAND, HE BLOW THE TRUMPET, AND
 WARN THE PEOPLE;
# 4 THEN WHOSOEVER HEARETH THE SOUND OF THE TRUMPET, AND TAKETH NOT WARNING;
 IF THE SWORD COME, AND TAKE HIM AWAY, HIS BLOOD SHALL BE UPON HIS OWN HEAD.
# 5 HE HEARD THE SOUND OF THE TRUMPET, AND TOOK NOT WARNING; HIS BLOOD SHALL
 BE UPON HIM. BUT HE THAT TAKETH WARNING SHALL DELIVER HIS SOUL.
# 6 BUT IF THE WATCHMAN SEE THE SWORD COME, AND BLOW NOT THE TRUMPET, AND THE
 PEOPLE BE NOT WARNED; IF THE SWORD COME, AND TAKE ANY PERSON FROM AMONG THEM,
 HE IS TAKEN AWAY IN HIS INIQUITY; BUT HIS BLOOD WILL I REQUIRE AT THE
 WATCHMANS HAND.
# 7 SO THOU, O SON OF MAN, I HAVE SET THEE A WATCHMAN UNTO THE HOUSE OF
 ISRAEL; THEREFORE THOU SHALT HEAR THE WORD AT MY MOUTH, AND WARN THEM FROM
 ME.
# 8 WHEN I SAY UNTO THE WICKED, O WICKED MAN, THOU SHALT SURELY DIE; IF THOU
 DOST NOT SPEAK TO WARN THE WICKED FROM HIS WAY, THAT WICKED MAN SHALL DIE IN
 HIS INIQUITY; BUT HIS BLOOD WILL I REQUIRE AT THINE HAND.
# 9 NEVERTHELESS, IF THOU WARN THE WICKED OF HIS WAY TO TURN FROM IT; IF HE
 DO NOT TURN FROM HIS WAY, HE SHALL DIE IN HIS INIQUITY; BUT THOU HAST
 DELIVERED THY SOUL.
# 10 THEREFORE, O THOU SON OF MAN, SPEAK UNTO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL; THUS YE
 SPEAK, SAYING, IF OUR TRANSGRESSIONS AND OUR SINS BE UPON US, AND WE PINE
 AWAY IN THEM, HOW SHOULD WE THEN LIVE?
# 11 SAY UNTO THEM, AS I LIVE, SAITH THE LORD GOD, I HAVE NO PLEASURE IN THE
 DEATH OF THE WICKED; BUT THAT THE WICKED TURN FROM HIS WAY AND LIVE: TURN YE,
 TURN YE FROM YOUR EVIL WAYS; FOR WHY WILL YE DIE, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL?
# 12 THEREFORE, THOU SON OF MAN, SAY UNTO THE CHILDREN OF THY PEOPLE, THE
 RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL NOT DELIVER HIM IN THE DAY OF HIS
 TRANSGRESSION: AS FOR THE WICKEDNESS OF THE WICKED, HE SHALL NOT FALL THEREBY
 IN THE DAY THAT HE TURNETH FROM HIS WICKEDNESS; NEITHER SHALL THE RIGHTEOUS
 BE ABLE TO LIVE FOR HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE DAY THAT HE SINNETH.
# 13 WHEN I SHALL SAY TO THE RIGHTEOUS, THAT HE SHALL SURELY LIVE; IF HE
 TRUST TO HIS OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND COMMIT INIQUITY, ALL HIS RIGHTEOUSNESSES
 SHALL NOT BE REMEMBERED; BUT FOR HIS INIQUITY THAT HE HATH COMMITTED, HE
 SHALL DIE FOR IT.
# 14 AGAIN, WHEN I SAY UNTO THE WICKED, THOU SHALT SURELY DIE; IF HE TURN
 FROM HIS SIN, AND DO THAT WHICH IS LAWFUL AND RIGHT;
# 15 IF THE WICKED RESTORE THE PLEDGE, GIVE AGAIN THAT HE HAD ROBBED, WALK IN
 THE STATUTES OF LIFE, WITHOUT COMMITTING INIQUITY; HE SHALL SURELY LIVE, HE
 SHALL NOT DIE.
# 16 NONE OF HIS SINS THAT HE HATH COMMITTED SHALL BE MENTIONED UNTO HIM: HE
 HATH DONE THAT WHICH IS LAWFUL AND RIGHT; HE SHALL SURELY LIVE.
# 17 YET THE CHILDREN OF THY PEOPLE SAY, THE WAY OF THE LORD IS NOT EQUAL:
 BUT AS FOR THEM, THEIR WAY IS NOT EQUAL.
# 18 WHEN THE RIGHTEOUS TURNETH FROM HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND COMMITTETH
 INIQUITY, HE SHALL EVEN DIE THEREBY.
# 19 BUT IF THE WICKED TURN FROM HIS WICKEDNESS, AND DO THAT WHICH IS LAWFUL
 AND RIGHT, HE SHALL LIVE THEREBY.
# 20 YET YE SAY, THE WAY OF THE LORD IS NOT EQUAL. O YE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, I
 WILL JUDGE YOU EVERY ONE AFTER HIS WAYS.
# 21 AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THE TWELFTH YEAR OF OUR CAPTIVITY, IN THE TENTH
 MONTH, IN THE FIFTH DAY OF THE MONTH, THAT ONE THAT HAD ESCAPED OUT OF
 JERUSALEM CAME UNTO ME, SAYING, THE CITY IS SMITTEN.
# 22 NOW THE HAND OF THE LORD WAS UPON ME IN THE EVENING, AFORE HE THAT WAS
 ESCAPED CAME; AND HAD OPENED MY MOUTH, UNTIL HE CAME TO ME IN THE MORNING;
 AND MY MOUTH WAS OPENED, AND I WAS NO MORE DUMB.
# 23 THEN THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 24 SON OF MAN, THEY THAT INHABIT THOSE WASTES OF THE LAND OF ISRAEL SPEAK,
 SAYING, ABRAHAM WAS ONE, AND HE INHERITED THE LAND: BUT WE ARE MANY; THE LAND
 IS GIVEN US FOR INHERITANCE.
# 25 WHEREFORE SAY UNTO THEM, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; YE EAT WITH THE BLOOD,
 AND LIFT UP YOUR EYES TOWARD YOUR IDOLS, AND SHED BLOOD: AND SHALL YE POSSESS
 THE LAND?
# 26 YE STAND UPON YOUR SWORD, YE WORK ABOMINATION, AND YE DEFILE EVERY ONE
 HIS NEIGHBOURS WIFE: AND SHALL YE POSSESS THE LAND?
# 27 SAY THOU THUS UNTO THEM, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; AS I LIVE, SURELY THEY
 THAT ARE IN THE WASTES SHALL FALL BY THE SWORD, AND HIM THAT IS IN THE OPEN
 FIELD WILL I GIVE TO THE BEASTS TO BE DEVOURED, AND THEY THAT BE IN THE FORTS
 AND IN THE CAVES SHALL DIE OF THE PESTILENCE.
# 28 FOR I WILL LAY THE LAND MOST DESOLATE, AND THE POMP OF HER STRENGTH
 SHALL CEASE; AND THE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL SHALL BE DESOLATE, THAT NONE SHALL
 PASS THROUGH.
# 29 THEN SHALL THEY KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD, WHEN I HAVE LAID THE LAND MOST
 DESOLATE BECAUSE OF ALL THEIR ABOMINATIONS WHICH THEY HAVE COMMITTED.
# 30 ALSO, THOU SON OF MAN, THE CHILDREN OF THY PEOPLE STILL ARE TALKING
 AGAINST THEE BY THE WALLS AND IN THE DOORS OF THE HOUSES, AND SPEAK ONE TO
 ANOTHER, EVERY ONE TO HIS BROTHER, SAYING, COME, I PRAY YOU, AND HEAR WHAT IS
 THE WORD THAT COMETH FORTH FROM THE LORD.
# 31 AND THEY COME UNTO THEE AS THE PEOPLE COMETH, AND THEY SIT BEFORE THEE
 AS MY PEOPLE, AND THEY HEAR THY WORDS, BUT THEY WILL NOT DO THEM: FOR WITH
 THEIR MOUTH THEY SHEW MUCH LOVE, BUT THEIR HEART GOETH AFTER THEIR
 COVETOUSNESS.
# 32 AND, LO, THOU ART UNTO THEM AS A VERY LOVELY SONG OF ONE THAT HATH A
 PLEASANT VOICE, AND CAN PLAY WELL ON AN INSTRUMENT: FOR THEY HEAR THY WORDS,
 BUT THEY DO THEM NOT.
# 33 AND WHEN THIS COMETH TO PASS, (LO, IT WILL COME,) THEN SHALL THEY KNOW
 THAT A PROPHET HATH BEEN AMONG THEM.
= CHAPTER 34 
# 1 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 2 SON OF MAN, PROPHESY AGAINST THE SHEPHERDS OF ISRAEL, PROPHESY, AND SAY
 UNTO THEM, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD UNTO THE SHEPHERDS; WOE BE TO THE
 SHEPHERDS OF ISRAEL THAT DO FEED THEMSELVES! SHOULD NOT THE SHEPHERDS FEED
 THE FLOCKS?
# 3 YE EAT THE FAT, AND YE CLOTHE YOU WITH THE WOOL, YE KILL THEM THAT ARE
 FED: BUT YE FEED NOT THE FLOCK.
# 4 THE DISEASED HAVE YE NOT STRENGTHENED, NEITHER HAVE YE HEALED THAT WHICH
 WAS SICK, NEITHER HAVE YE BOUND UP THAT WHICH WAS BROKEN, NEITHER HAVE YE
 BROUGHT AGAIN THAT WHICH WAS DRIVEN AWAY, NEITHER HAVE YE SOUGHT THAT WHICH
 WAS LOST; BUT WITH FORCE AND WITH CRUELTY HAVE YE RULED THEM.
# 5 AND THEY WERE SCATTERED, BECAUSE THERE IS NO SHEPHERD: AND THEY BECAME
 MEAT TO ALL THE BEASTS OF THE FIELD, WHEN THEY WERE SCATTERED.
# 6 MY SHEEP WANDERED THROUGH ALL THE MOUNTAINS, AND UPON EVERY HIGH HILL:
 YEA, MY FLOCK WAS SCATTERED UPON ALL THE FACE OF THE EARTH, AND NONE DID
 SEARCH OR SEEK AFTER THEM.
# 7 THEREFORE, YE SHEPHERDS, HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD;
# 8 AS I LIVE, SAITH THE LORD GOD, SURELY BECAUSE MY FLOCK BECAME A PREY, AND
 MY FLOCK BECAME MEAT TO EVERY BEAST OF THE FIELD, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO
 SHEPHERD, NEITHER DID MY SHEPHERDS SEARCH FOR MY FLOCK, BUT THE SHEPHERDS FED
 THEMSELVES, AND FED NOT MY FLOCK;
# 9 THEREFORE, O YE SHEPHERDS, HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD;
# 10 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BEHOLD, I AM AGAINST THE SHEPHERDS; AND I WILL
 REQUIRE MY FLOCK AT THEIR HAND, AND CAUSE THEM TO CEASE FROM FEEDING THE
 FLOCK; NEITHER SHALL THE SHEPHERDS FEED THEMSELVES ANY MORE; FOR I WILL
 DELIVER MY FLOCK FROM THEIR MOUTH, THAT THEY MAY NOT BE MEAT FOR THEM.
# 11 FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BEHOLD, I, EVEN I, WILL BOTH SEARCH MY
 SHEEP, AND SEEK THEM OUT.
# 12 AS A SHEPHERD SEEKETH OUT HIS FLOCK IN THE DAY THAT HE IS AMONG HIS
 SHEEP THAT ARE SCATTERED; SO WILL I SEEK OUT MY SHEEP, AND WILL DELIVER THEM
 OUT OF ALL PLACES WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN SCATTERED IN THE CLOUDY AND DARK DAY.
# 13 AND I WILL BRING THEM OUT FROM THE PEOPLE, AND GATHER THEM FROM THE
 COUNTRIES, AND WILL BRING THEM TO THEIR OWN LAND, AND FEED THEM UPON THE
 MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL BY THE RIVERS, AND IN ALL THE INHABITED PLACES OF THE
 COUNTRY.
# 14 I WILL FEED THEM IN A GOOD PASTURE, AND UPON THE HIGH MOUNTAINS OF
 ISRAEL SHALL THEIR FOLD BE: THERE SHALL THEY LIE IN A GOOD FOLD, AND IN A FAT
 PASTURE SHALL THEY FEED UPON THE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL.
# 15 I WILL FEED MY FLOCK, AND I WILL CAUSE THEM TO LIE DOWN, SAITH THE LORD
 GOD.
# 16 I WILL SEEK THAT WHICH WAS LOST, AND BRING AGAIN THAT WHICH WAS DRIVEN
 AWAY, AND WILL BIND UP THAT WHICH WAS BROKEN, AND WILL STRENGTHEN THAT WHICH
 WAS SICK: BUT I WILL DESTROY THE FAT AND THE STRONG; I WILL FEED THEM WITH
 JUDGMENT.
# 17 AND AS FOR YOU, O MY FLOCK, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BEHOLD, I JUDGE
 BETWEEN CATTLE AND CATTLE, BETWEEN THE RAMS AND THE HE GOATS.
# 18 SEEMETH IT A SMALL THING UNTO YOU TO HAVE EATEN UP THE GOOD PASTURE, BUT
 YE MUST TREAD DOWN WITH YOUR FEET THE RESIDUE OF YOUR PASTURES? AND TO HAVE
 DRUNK OF THE DEEP WATERS, BUT YE MUST FOUL THE RESIDUE WITH YOUR FEET?
# 19 AND AS FOR MY FLOCK, THEY EAT THAT WHICH YE HAVE TRODDEN WITH YOUR FEET;
 AND THEY DRINK THAT WHICH YE HAVE FOULED WITH YOUR FEET.
# 20 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD UNTO THEM; BEHOLD, I, EVEN I, WILL
 JUDGE BETWEEN THE FAT CATTLE AND BETWEEN THE LEAN CATTLE.
# 21 BECAUSE YE HAVE THRUST WITH SIDE AND WITH SHOULDER, AND PUSHED ALL THE
 DISEASED WITH YOUR HORNS, TILL YE HAVE SCATTERED THEM ABROAD;
# 22 THEREFORE WILL I SAVE MY FLOCK, AND THEY SHALL NO MORE BE A PREY; AND I
 WILL JUDGE BETWEEN CATTLE AND CATTLE.
# 23 AND I WILL SET UP ONE SHEPHERD OVER THEM, AND HE SHALL FEED THEM, EVEN
 MY SERVANT DAVID; HE SHALL FEED THEM, AND HE SHALL BE THEIR SHEPHERD.
# 24 AND I THE LORD WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND MY SERVANT DAVID A PRINCE AMONG
 THEM; I THE LORD HAVE SPOKEN IT.
# 25 AND I WILL MAKE WITH THEM A COVENANT OF PEACE, AND WILL CAUSE THE EVIL
 BEASTS TO CEASE OUT OF THE LAND: AND THEY SHALL DWELL SAFELY IN THE
 WILDERNESS, AND SLEEP IN THE WOODS.
# 26 AND I WILL MAKE THEM AND THE PLACES ROUND ABOUT MY HILL A BLESSING; AND
 I WILL CAUSE THE SHOWER TO COME DOWN IN HIS SEASON; THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF
 BLESSING.
# 27 AND THE TREE OF THE FIELD SHALL YIELD HER FRUIT, AND THE EARTH SHALL
 YIELD HER INCREASE, AND THEY SHALL BE SAFE IN THEIR LAND, AND SHALL KNOW THAT
 I AM THE LORD, WHEN I HAVE BROKEN THE BANDS OF THEIR YOKE, AND DELIVERED THEM
 OUT OF THE HAND OF THOSE THAT SERVED THEMSELVES OF THEM.
# 28 AND THEY SHALL NO MORE BE A PREY TO THE HEATHEN, NEITHER SHALL THE BEAST
 OF THE LAND DEVOUR THEM; BUT THEY SHALL DWELL SAFELY, AND NONE SHALL MAKE
 THEM AFRAID.
# 29 AND I WILL RAISE UP FOR THEM A PLANT OF RENOWN, AND THEY SHALL BE NO
 MORE CONSUMED WITH HUNGER IN THE LAND, NEITHER BEAR THE SHAME OF THE HEATHEN
 ANY MORE.
# 30 THUS SHALL THEY KNOW THAT I THE LORD THEIR GOD AM WITH THEM, AND THAT
 THEY, EVEN THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, ARE MY PEOPLE, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 31 AND YE MY FLOCK, THE FLOCK OF MY PASTURE, ARE MEN, AND I AM YOUR GOD,
 SAITH THE LORD GOD.

 AGAINST THEE, AND I WILL STRETCH OUT MINE HAND AGAINST THEE, AND I WILL MAKE
 THEE MOST DESOLATE.
# 4 I WILL LAY THY CITIES WASTE, AND THOU SHALT BE DESOLATE, AND THOU SHALT
 KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
# 5 BECAUSE THOU HAST HAD A PERPETUAL HATRED, AND HAST SHED THE BLOOD OF THE
 CHILDREN OF ISRAEL BY THE FORCE OF THE SWORD IN THE TIME OF THEIR CALAMITY,
 IN THE TIME THAT THEIR INIQUITY HAD AN END:
# 6 THEREFORE, AS I LIVE, SAITH THE LORD GOD, I WILL PREPARE THEE UNTO BLOOD,
 AND BLOOD SHALL PURSUE THEE: SITH THOU HAST NOT HATED BLOOD, EVEN BLOOD SHALL
 PURSUE THEE.
# 7 THUS WILL I MAKE MOUNT SEIR MOST DESOLATE, AND CUT OFF FROM IT HIM THAT
 PASSETH OUT AND HIM THAT RETURNETH.
# 8 AND I WILL FILL HIS MOUNTAINS WITH HIS SLAIN MEN: IN THY HILLS, AND IN
 THY VALLEYS, AND IN ALL THY RIVERS, SHALL THEY FALL THAT ARE SLAIN WITH THE
 SWORD.
# 9 I WILL MAKE THEE PERPETUAL DESOLATIONS, AND THY CITIES SHALL NOT RETURN:
 AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
# 10 BECAUSE THOU HAST SAID, THESE TWO NATIONS AND THESE TWO COUNTRIES SHALL
 BE MINE, AND WE WILL POSSESS IT; WHEREAS THE LORD WAS THERE:
# 11 THEREFORE, AS I LIVE, SAITH THE LORD GOD, I WILL EVEN DO ACCORDING TO
 THINE ANGER, AND ACCORDING TO THINE ENVY WHICH THOU HAST USED OUT OF THY
 HATRED AGAINST THEM; AND I WILL MAKE MYSELF KNOWN AMONG THEM, WHEN I HAVE
 JUDGED THEE.
# 12 AND THOU SHALT KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD, AND THAT I HAVE HEARD ALL THY
 BLASPHEMIES WHICH THOU HAST SPOKEN AGAINST THE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL, SAYING,
 THEY ARE LAID DESOLATE, THEY ARE GIVEN US TO CONSUME.
# 13 THUS WITH YOUR MOUTH YE HAVE BOASTED AGAINST ME, AND HAVE MULTIPLIED
 YOUR WORDS AGAINST ME: I HAVE HEARD THEM.

 THEE DESOLATE.
# 15 AS THOU DIDST REJOICE AT THE INHERITANCE OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, BECAUSE
 IT WAS DESOLATE, SO WILL I DO UNTO THEE: THOU SHALT BE DESOLATE, O MOUNT

# 16 MOREOVER THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 17 SON OF MAN, WHEN THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL DWELT IN THEIR OWN LAND, THEY
 DEFILED IT BY THEIR OWN WAY AND BY THEIR DOINGS: THEIR WAY WAS BEFORE ME AS
 THE UNCLEANNESS OF A REMOVED WOMAN.
# 18 WHEREFORE I POURED MY FURY UPON THEM FOR THE BLOOD THAT THEY HAD SHED
 UPON THE LAND, AND FOR THEIR IDOLS WHEREWITH THEY HAD POLLUTED IT:
# 19 AND I SCATTERED THEM AMONG THE HEATHEN, AND THEY WERE DISPERSED THROUGH
 THE COUNTRIES: ACCORDING TO THEIR WAY AND ACCORDING TO THEIR DOINGS I JUDGED
 THEM.
# 20 AND WHEN THEY ENTERED UNTO THE HEATHEN, WHITHER THEY WENT, THEY PROFANED
 MY HOLY NAME, WHEN THEY SAID TO THEM, THESE ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE LORD, AND
 ARE GONE FORTH OUT OF HIS LAND.
# 21 BUT I HAD PITY FOR MINE HOLY NAME, WHICH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL HAD
 PROFANED AMONG THE HEATHEN, WHITHER THEY WENT.
# 22 THEREFORE SAY UNTO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; I DO
 NOT THIS FOR YOUR SAKES, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL, BUT FOR MINE HOLY NAMES SAKE,
 WHICH YE HAVE PROFANED AMONG THE HEATHEN, WHITHER YE WENT.
# 23 AND I WILL SANCTIFY MY GREAT NAME, WHICH WAS PROFANED AMONG THE HEATHEN,
 WHICH YE HAVE PROFANED IN THE MIDST OF THEM; AND THE HEATHEN SHALL KNOW THAT
 I AM THE LORD, SAITH THE LORD GOD, WHEN I SHALL BE SANCTIFIED IN YOU BEFORE
 THEIR EYES.
# 24 FOR I WILL TAKE YOU FROM AMONG THE HEATHEN, AND GATHER YOU OUT OF ALL
 COUNTRIES, AND WILL BRING YOU INTO YOUR OWN LAND.
# 25 THEN WILL I SPRINKLE CLEAN WATER UPON YOU, AND YE SHALL BE CLEAN: FROM
 ALL YOUR FILTHINESS, AND FROM ALL YOUR IDOLS, WILL I CLEANSE YOU.
# 26 A NEW HEART ALSO WILL I GIVE YOU, AND A NEW SPIRIT WILL I PUT WITHIN
 YOU: AND I WILL TAKE AWAY THE STONY HEART OUT OF YOUR FLESH, AND I WILL GIVE
 YOU AN HEART OF FLESH.
# 27 AND I WILL PUT MY SPIRIT WITHIN YOU, AND CAUSE YOU TO WALK IN MY
 STATUTES, AND YE SHALL KEEP MY JUDGMENTS, AND DO THEM.
# 28 AND YE SHALL DWELL IN THE LAND THAT I GAVE TO YOUR FATHERS; AND YE SHALL
 BE MY PEOPLE, AND I WILL BE YOUR GOD.
# 29 I WILL ALSO SAVE YOU FROM ALL YOUR UNCLEANNESSES: AND I WILL CALL FOR
 THE CORN, AND WILL INCREASE IT, AND LAY NO FAMINE UPON YOU.
# 30 AND I WILL MULTIPLY THE FRUIT OF THE TREE, AND THE INCREASE OF THE
 FIELD, THAT YE SHALL RECEIVE NO MORE REPROACH OF FAMINE AMONG THE HEATHEN.
# 31 THEN SHALL YE REMEMBER YOUR OWN EVIL WAYS, AND YOUR DOINGS THAT WERE NOT
 GOOD, AND SHALL LOTHE YOURSELVES IN YOUR OWN SIGHT FOR YOUR INIQUITIES AND
 FOR YOUR ABOMINATIONS.
# 32 NOT FOR YOUR SAKES DO I THIS, SAITH THE LORD GOD, BE IT KNOWN UNTO YOU:
 BE ASHAMED AND CONFOUNDED FOR YOUR OWN WAYS, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL.
# 33 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; IN THE DAY THAT I SHALL HAVE CLEANSED YOU FROM
 ALL YOUR INIQUITIES I WILL ALSO CAUSE YOU TO DWELL IN THE CITIES, AND THE
 WASTES SHALL BE BUILDED.
# 34 AND THE DESOLATE LAND SHALL BE TILLED, WHEREAS IT LAY DESOLATE IN THE
 SIGHT OF ALL THAT PASSED BY.
# 35 AND THEY SHALL SAY, THIS LAND THAT WAS DESOLATE IS BECOME LIKE THE
 GARDEN OF EDEN; AND THE WASTE AND DESOLATE AND RUINED CITIES ARE BECOME
 FENCED, AND ARE INHABITED.
# 36 THEN THE HEATHEN THAT ARE LEFT ROUND ABOUT YOU SHALL KNOW THAT I THE
 LORD BUILD THE RUINED PLACES, AND PLANT THAT THAT WAS DESOLATE: I THE LORD
 HAVE SPOKEN IT, AND I WILL DO IT.
# 37 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; I WILL YET FOR THIS BE ENQUIRED OF BY THE HOUSE
 OF ISRAEL, TO DO IT FOR THEM; I WILL INCREASE THEM WITH MEN LIKE A FLOCK.
# 38 AS THE HOLY FLOCK, AS THE FLOCK OF JERUSALEM IN HER SOLEMN FEASTS; SO
 SHALL THE WASTE CITIES BE FILLED WITH FLOCKS OF MEN: AND THEY SHALL KNOW THAT
 I AM THE LORD.
= CHAPTER 37 
# 1 THE HAND OF THE LORD WAS UPON ME, AND CARRIED ME OUT IN THE SPIRIT OF THE
 LORD, AND SET ME DOWN IN THE MIDST OF THE VALLEY WHICH WAS FULL OF BONES,
# 2 AND CAUSED ME TO PASS BY THEM ROUND ABOUT: AND, BEHOLD, THERE WERE VERY
 MANY IN THE OPEN VALLEY; AND, LO, THEY WERE VERY DRY.
# 3 AND HE SAID UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, CAN THESE BONES LIVE? AND I ANSWERED, O
 LORD GOD, THOU KNOWEST.
# 4 AGAIN HE SAID UNTO ME, PROPHESY UPON THESE BONES, AND SAY UNTO THEM, O YE
 DRY BONES, HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD.
# 5 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD UNTO THESE BONES; BEHOLD, I WILL CAUSE BREATH TO
 ENTER INTO YOU, AND YE SHALL LIVE:
# 6 AND I WILL LAY SINEWS UPON YOU, AND WILL BRING UP FLESH UPON YOU, AND
 COVER YOU WITH SKIN, AND PUT BREATH IN YOU, AND YE SHALL LIVE; AND YE SHALL
 KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
# 7 SO I PROPHESIED AS I WAS COMMANDED: AND AS I PROPHESIED, THERE WAS A
 NOISE, AND BEHOLD A SHAKING, AND THE BONES CAME TOGETHER, BONE TO HIS BONE.
# 8 AND WHEN I BEHELD, LO, THE SINEWS AND THE FLESH CAME UP UPON THEM, AND
 THE SKIN COVERED THEM ABOVE: BUT THERE WAS NO BREATH IN THEM.
# 9 THEN SAID HE UNTO ME, PROPHESY UNTO THE WIND, PROPHESY, SON OF MAN, AND
 SAY TO THE WIND, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; COME FROM THE FOUR WINDS, O BREATH,
 AND BREATHE UPON THESE SLAIN, THAT THEY MAY LIVE.
# 10 SO I PROPHESIED AS HE COMMANDED ME, AND THE BREATH CAME INTO THEM, AND
 THEY LIVED, AND STOOD UP UPON THEIR FEET, AN EXCEEDING GREAT ARMY.
# 11 THEN HE SAID UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, THESE BONES ARE THE WHOLE HOUSE OF
 ISRAEL: BEHOLD, THEY SAY, OUR BONES ARE DRIED, AND OUR HOPE IS LOST: WE ARE
 CUT OFF FOR OUR PARTS.
# 12 THEREFORE PROPHESY AND SAY UNTO THEM, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BEHOLD, O
 MY PEOPLE, I WILL OPEN YOUR GRAVES, AND CAUSE YOU TO COME UP OUT OF YOUR
 GRAVES, AND BRING YOU INTO THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
# 13 AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD, WHEN I HAVE OPENED YOUR GRAVES, O
 MY PEOPLE, AND BROUGHT YOU UP OUT OF YOUR GRAVES,
# 14 AND SHALL PUT MY SPIRIT IN YOU, AND YE SHALL LIVE, AND I SHALL PLACE YOU
 IN YOUR OWN LAND: THEN SHALL YE KNOW THAT I THE LORD HAVE SPOKEN IT, AND
 PERFORMED IT, SAITH THE LORD.
# 15 THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME AGAIN UNTO ME, SAYING,
# 16 MOREOVER, THOU SON OF MAN, TAKE THEE ONE STICK, AND WRITE UPON IT, FOR
 JUDAH, AND FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL HIS COMPANIONS: THEN TAKE ANOTHER
 STICK, AND WRITE UPON IT, FOR JOSEPH, THE STICK OF EPHRAIM AND FOR ALL THE
 HOUSE OF ISRAEL HIS COMPANIONS:
# 17 AND JOIN THEM ONE TO ANOTHER INTO ONE STICK; AND THEY SHALL BECOME ONE
 IN THINE HAND.
# 18 AND WHEN THE CHILDREN OF THY PEOPLE SHALL SPEAK UNTO THEE, SAYING, WILT
 THOU NOT SHEW US WHAT THOU MEANEST BY THESE?
# 19 SAY UNTO THEM, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BEHOLD, I WILL TAKE THE STICK OF
 JOSEPH, WHICH IS IN THE HAND OF EPHRAIM, AND THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL HIS
 FELLOWS, AND WILL PUT THEM WITH HIM, EVEN WITH THE STICK OF JUDAH, AND MAKE
 THEM ONE STICK, AND THEY SHALL BE ONE IN MINE HAND.
# 20 AND THE STICKS WHEREON THOU WRITEST SHALL BE IN THINE HAND BEFORE THEIR
 EYES.
# 21 AND SAY UNTO THEM, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BEHOLD, I WILL TAKE THE
 CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FROM AMONG THE HEATHEN, WHITHER THEY BE GONE, AND WILL
 GATHER THEM ON EVERY SIDE, AND BRING THEM INTO THEIR OWN LAND:
# 22 AND I WILL MAKE THEM ONE NATION IN THE LAND UPON THE MOUNTAINS OF
 ISRAEL; AND ONE KING SHALL BE KING TO THEM ALL: AND THEY SHALL BE NO MORE TWO
 NATIONS, NEITHER SHALL THEY BE DIVIDED INTO TWO KINGDOMS ANY MORE AT ALL.
# 23 NEITHER SHALL THEY DEFILE THEMSELVES ANY MORE WITH THEIR IDOLS, NOR WITH
 THEIR DETESTABLE THINGS, NOR WITH ANY OF THEIR TRANSGRESSIONS: BUT I WILL
 SAVE THEM OUT OF ALL THEIR DWELLINGPLACES, WHEREIN THEY HAVE SINNED, AND WILL
 CLEANSE THEM: SO SHALL THEY BE MY PEOPLE, AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD.
# 24 AND DAVID MY SERVANT SHALL BE KING OVER THEM; AND THEY ALL SHALL HAVE
 ONE SHEPHERD: THEY SHALL ALSO WALK IN MY JUDGMENTS, AND OBSERVE MY STATUTES,
 AND DO THEM.
# 25 AND THEY SHALL DWELL IN THE LAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN UNTO JACOB MY
 SERVANT, WHEREIN YOUR FATHERS HAVE DWELT; AND THEY SHALL DWELL THEREIN, EVEN
 THEY, AND THEIR CHILDREN, AND THEIR CHILDRENS CHILDREN FOR EVER: AND MY
 SERVANT DAVID SHALL BE THEIR PRINCE FOR EVER.
# 26 MOREOVER I WILL MAKE A COVENANT OF PEACE WITH THEM; IT SHALL BE AN
 EVERLASTING COVENANT WITH THEM: AND I WILL PLACE THEM, AND MULTIPLY THEM, AND
 WILL SET MY SANCTUARY IN THE MIDST OF THEM FOR EVERMORE.
# 27 MY TABERNACLE ALSO SHALL BE WITH THEM: YEA, I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND
 THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.
# 28 AND THE HEATHEN SHALL KNOW THAT I THE LORD DO SANCTIFY ISRAEL, WHEN MY
 SANCTUARY SHALL BE IN THE MIDST OF THEM FOR EVERMORE.
= CHAPTER 38 
# 1 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING,

 OF MESHECH AND TUBAL, AND PROPHESY AGAINST HIM,

 CHIEF PRINCE OF MESHECH AND TUBAL:
# 4 AND I WILL TURN THEE BACK, AND PUT HOOKS INTO THY JAWS, AND I WILL BRING
 THEE FORTH, AND ALL THINE ARMY, HORSES AND HORSEMEN, ALL OF THEM CLOTHED WITH
 ALL SORTS OF ARMOUR, EVEN A GREAT COMPANY WITH BUCKLERS AND SHIELDS, ALL OF
 THEM HANDLING SWORDS:

 HELMET:

 AND ALL HIS BANDS: AND MANY PEOPLE WITH THEE.
# 7 BE THOU PREPARED, AND PREPARE FOR THYSELF, THOU, AND ALL THY COMPANY THAT
 ARE ASSEMBLED UNTO THEE, AND BE THOU A GUARD UNTO THEM.
# 8 AFTER MANY DAYS THOU SHALT BE VISITED: IN THE LATTER YEARS THOU SHALT
 COME INTO THE LAND THAT IS BROUGHT BACK FROM THE SWORD, AND IS GATHERED OUT
 OF MANY PEOPLE, AGAINST THE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL, WHICH HAVE BEEN ALWAYS
 WASTE: BUT IT IS BROUGHT FORTH OUT OF THE NATIONS, AND THEY SHALL DWELL
 SAFELY ALL OF THEM.
# 9 THOU SHALT ASCEND AND COME LIKE A STORM, THOU SHALT BE LIKE A CLOUD TO
 COVER THE LAND, THOU, AND ALL THY BANDS, AND MANY PEOPLE WITH THEE.
# 10 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; IT SHALL ALSO COME TO PASS, THAT AT THE SAME
 TIME SHALL THINGS COME INTO THY MIND, AND THOU SHALT THINK AN EVIL THOUGHT:
# 11 AND THOU SHALT SAY, I WILL GO UP TO THE LAND OF UNWALLED VILLAGES; I
 WILL GO TO THEM THAT ARE AT REST, THAT DWELL SAFELY, ALL OF THEM DWELLING
 WITHOUT WALLS, AND HAVING NEITHER BARS NOR GATES,
# 12 TO TAKE A SPOIL, AND TO TAKE A PREY; TO TURN THINE HAND UPON THE
 DESOLATE PLACES THAT ARE NOW INHABITED, AND UPON THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GATHERED
 OUT OF THE NATIONS, WHICH HAVE GOTTEN CATTLE AND GOODS, THAT DWELL IN THE
 MIDST OF THE LAND.
# 13 SHEBA, AND DEDAN, AND THE MERCHANTS OF TARSHISH, WITH ALL THE YOUNG
 LIONS THEREOF, SHALL SAY UNTO THEE, ART THOU COME TO TAKE A SPOIL? HAST THOU
 GATHERED THY COMPANY TO TAKE A PREY? TO CARRY AWAY SILVER AND GOLD, TO TAKE
 AWAY CATTLE AND GOODS, TO TAKE A GREAT SPOIL?
# 14 THEREFORE, SON OF MAN, PROPHESY AND SAY UNTO GOG, THUS SAITH THE LORD
 GOD; IN THAT DAY WHEN MY PEOPLE OF ISRAEL DWELLETH SAFELY, SHALT THOU NOT
 KNOW IT?
# 15 AND THOU SHALT COME FROM THY PLACE OUT OF THE NORTH PARTS, THOU, AND
 MANY PEOPLE WITH THEE, ALL OF THEM RIDING UPON HORSES, A GREAT COMPANY, AND A
 MIGHTY ARMY:
# 16 AND THOU SHALT COME UP AGAINST MY PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, AS A CLOUD TO COVER
 THE LAND; IT SHALL BE IN THE LATTER DAYS, AND I WILL BRING THEE AGAINST MY
 LAND, THAT THE HEATHEN MAY KNOW ME, WHEN I SHALL BE SANCTIFIED IN THEE, O
 GOG, BEFORE THEIR EYES.
# 17 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; ART THOU HE OF WHOM I HAVE SPOKEN IN OLD TIME
 BY MY SERVANTS THE PROPHETS OF ISRAEL, WHICH PROPHESIED IN THOSE DAYS MANY
 YEARS THAT I WOULD BRING THEE AGAINST THEM?
# 18 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS AT THE SAME TIME WHEN GOG SHALL COME AGAINST
 THE LAND OF ISRAEL, SAITH THE LORD GOD, THAT MY FURY SHALL COME UP IN MY
 FACE.
# 19 FOR IN MY JEALOUSY AND IN THE FIRE OF MY WRATH HAVE I SPOKEN, SURELY IN
 THAT DAY THERE SHALL BE A GREAT SHAKING IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL;
# 20 SO THAT THE FISHES OF THE SEA, AND THE FOWLS OF THE HEAVEN, AND THE
 BEASTS OF THE FIELD, AND ALL CREEPING THINGS THAT CREEP UPON THE EARTH, AND
 ALL THE MEN THAT ARE UPON THE FACE OF THE EARTH, SHALL SHAKE AT MY PRESENCE,
 AND THE MOUNTAINS SHALL BE THROWN DOWN, AND THE STEEP PLACES SHALL FALL, AND
 EVERY WALL SHALL FALL TO THE GROUND.
# 21 AND I WILL CALL FOR A SWORD AGAINST HIM THROUGHOUT ALL MY MOUNTAINS,
 SAITH THE LORD GOD: EVERY MANS SWORD SHALL BE AGAINST HIS BROTHER.
# 22 AND I WILL PLEAD AGAINST HIM WITH PESTILENCE AND WITH BLOOD; AND I WILL
 RAIN UPON HIM, AND UPON HIS BANDS, AND UPON THE MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE WITH
 HIM, AN OVERFLOWING RAIN, AND GREAT HAILSTONES, FIRE, AND BRIMSTONE.
# 23 THUS WILL I MAGNIFY MYSELF, AND SANCTIFY MYSELF; AND I WILL BE KNOWN IN
 THE EYES OF MANY NATIONS, AND THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.

 LORD GOD; BEHOLD, I AM AGAINST THEE, O GOG, THE CHIEF PRINCE OF MESHECH AND
 TUBAL:
# 2 AND I WILL TURN THEE BACK, AND LEAVE BUT THE SIXTH PART OF THEE, AND WILL
 CAUSE THEE TO COME UP FROM THE NORTH PARTS, AND WILL BRING THEE UPON THE
 MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL:

 ARROWS TO FALL OUT OF THY RIGHT HAND.
# 4 THOU SHALT FALL UPON THE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL, THOU, AND ALL THY BANDS,
 AND THE PEOPLE THAT IS WITH THEE: I WILL GIVE THEE UNTO THE RAVENOUS BIRDS OF
 EVERY SORT, AND TO THE BEASTS OF THE FIELD TO BE DEVOURED.
# 5 THOU SHALT FALL UPON THE OPEN FIELD: FOR I HAVE SPOKEN IT, SAITH THE LORD
 GOD.
# 6 AND I WILL SEND A FIRE ON MAGOG, AND AMONG THEM THAT DWELL CARELESSLY IN
 THE ISLES: AND THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.
# 7 SO WILL I MAKE MY HOLY NAME KNOWN IN THE MIDST OF MY PEOPLE ISRAEL; AND I
 WILL NOT LET THEM POLLUTE MY HOLY NAME ANY MORE: AND THE HEATHEN SHALL KNOW
 THAT I AM THE LORD, THE HOLY ONE IN ISRAEL.
# 8 BEHOLD, IT IS COME, AND IT IS DONE, SAITH THE LORD GOD; THIS IS THE DAY
 WHEREOF I HAVE SPOKEN.
# 9 AND THEY THAT DWELL IN THE CITIES OF ISRAEL SHALL GO FORTH, AND SHALL SET
 ON FIRE AND BURN THE WEAPONS, BOTH THE SHIELDS AND THE BUCKLERS, THE BOWS AND
 THE ARROWS, AND THE HANDSTAVES, AND THE SPEARS, AND THEY SHALL BURN THEM WITH
 FIRE SEVEN YEARS:
# 10 SO THAT THEY SHALL TAKE NO WOOD OUT OF THE FIELD, NEITHER CUT DOWN ANY
 OUT OF THE FORESTS; FOR THEY SHALL BURN THE WEAPONS WITH FIRE: AND THEY SHALL
 SPOIL THOSE THAT SPOILED THEM, AND ROB THOSE THAT ROBBED THEM, SAITH THE LORD
 GOD.
# 11 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT DAY, THAT I WILL GIVE UNTO GOG A PLACE
 THERE OF GRAVES IN ISRAEL, THE VALLEY OF THE PASSENGERS ON THE EAST OF THE
 SEA: AND IT SHALL STOP THE NOSES OF THE PASSENGERS: AND THERE SHALL THEY BURY
 GOG AND ALL HIS MULTITUDE: AND THEY SHALL CALL IT THE VALLEY OF HAMONGOG.
# 12 AND SEVEN MONTHS SHALL THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL BE BURYING OF THEM, THAT THEY
 MAY CLEANSE THE LAND.
# 13 YEA, ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND SHALL BURY THEM; AND IT SHALL BE TO THEM
 A RENOWN THE DAY THAT I SHALL BE GLORIFIED, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 14 AND THEY SHALL SEVER OUT MEN OF CONTINUAL EMPLOYMENT, PASSING THROUGH
 THE LAND TO BURY WITH THE PASSENGERS THOSE THAT REMAIN UPON THE FACE OF THE
 EARTH, TO CLEANSE IT: AFTER THE END OF SEVEN MONTHS SHALL THEY SEARCH.
# 15 AND THE PASSENGERS THAT PASS THROUGH THE LAND, WHEN ANY SEETH A MANS
 BONE, THEN SHALL HE SET UP A SIGN BY IT, TILL THE BURIERS HAVE BURIED IT IN
 THE VALLEY OF HAMONGOG.
# 16 AND ALSO THE NAME OF THE CITY SHALL BE HAMONAH. THUS SHALL THEY CLEANSE
 THE LAND.
# 17 AND, THOU SON OF MAN, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; SPEAK UNTO EVERY
 FEATHERED FOWL, AND TO EVERY BEAST OF THE FIELD, ASSEMBLE YOURSELVES, AND
 COME; GATHER YOURSELVES ON EVERY SIDE TO MY SACRIFICE THAT I DO SACRIFICE FOR
 YOU, EVEN A GREAT SACRIFICE UPON THE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL, THAT YE MAY EAT
 FLESH, AND DRINK BLOOD.
# 18 YE SHALL EAT THE FLESH OF THE MIGHTY, AND DRINK THE BLOOD OF THE PRINCES
 OF THE EARTH, OF RAMS, OF LAMBS, AND OF GOATS, OF BULLOCKS, ALL OF THEM
 FATLINGS OF BASHAN.
# 19 AND YE SHALL EAT FAT TILL YE BE FULL, AND DRINK BLOOD TILL YE BE
 DRUNKEN, OF MY SACRIFICE WHICH I HAVE SACRIFICED FOR YOU.
# 20 THUS YE SHALL BE FILLED AT MY TABLE WITH HORSES AND CHARIOTS, WITH
 MIGHTY MEN, AND WITH ALL MEN OF WAR, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 21 AND I WILL SET MY GLORY AMONG THE HEATHEN, AND ALL THE HEATHEN SHALL SEE
 MY JUDGMENT THAT I HAVE EXECUTED, AND MY HAND THAT I HAVE LAID UPON THEM.
# 22 SO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD THEIR GOD FROM THAT
 DAY AND FORWARD.
# 23 AND THE HEATHEN SHALL KNOW THAT THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL WENT INTO CAPTIVITY
 FOR THEIR INIQUITY: BECAUSE THEY TRESPASSED AGAINST ME, THEREFORE HID I MY
 FACE FROM THEM, AND GAVE THEM INTO THE HAND OF THEIR ENEMIES: SO FELL THEY
 ALL BY THE SWORD.
# 24 ACCORDING TO THEIR UNCLEANNESS AND ACCORDING TO THEIR TRANSGRESSIONS
 HAVE I DONE UNTO THEM, AND HID MY FACE FROM THEM.
# 25 THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; NOW WILL I BRING AGAIN THE CAPTIVITY
 OF JACOB, AND HAVE MERCY UPON THE WHOLE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, AND WILL BE JEALOUS
 FOR MY HOLY NAME;
# 26 AFTER THAT THEY HAVE BORNE THEIR SHAME, AND ALL THEIR TRESPASSES WHEREBY
 THEY HAVE TRESPASSED AGAINST ME, WHEN THEY DWELT SAFELY IN THEIR LAND, AND
 NONE MADE THEM AFRAID.
# 27 WHEN I HAVE BROUGHT THEM AGAIN FROM THE PEOPLE, AND GATHERED THEM OUT OF
 THEIR ENEMIES LANDS, AND AM SANCTIFIED IN THEM IN THE SIGHT OF MANY NATIONS;
# 28 THEN SHALL THEY KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD THEIR GOD, WHICH CAUSED THEM TO
 BE LED INTO CAPTIVITY AMONG THE HEATHEN: BUT I HAVE GATHERED THEM UNTO THEIR
 OWN LAND, AND HAVE LEFT NONE OF THEM ANY MORE THERE.
# 29 NEITHER WILL I HIDE MY FACE ANY MORE FROM THEM: FOR I HAVE POURED OUT MY
 SPIRIT UPON THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, SAITH THE LORD GOD.

 INCREASED FROM THE LOWEST CHAMBER TO THE HIGHEST BY THE MIDST.
# 8 I SAW ALSO THE HEIGHT OF THE HOUSE ROUND ABOUT: THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE
 SIDE CHAMBERS WERE A FULL REED OF SIX GREAT CUBITS.
# 9 THE THICKNESS OF THE WALL, WHICH WAS FOR THE SIDE CHAMBER WITHOUT, WAS
 FIVE CUBITS: AND THAT WHICH WAS LEFT WAS THE PLACE OF THE SIDE CHAMBERS THAT
 WERE WITHIN.
# 10 AND BETWEEN THE CHAMBERS WAS THE WIDENESS OF TWENTY CUBITS ROUND ABOUT
 THE HOUSE ON EVERY SIDE.
# 11 AND THE DOORS OF THE SIDE CHAMBERS WERE TOWARD THE PLACE THAT WAS LEFT,
 ONE DOOR TOWARD THE NORTH, AND ANOTHER DOOR TOWARD THE SOUTH: AND THE BREADTH
 OF THE PLACE THAT WAS LEFT WAS FIVE CUBITS ROUND ABOUT.
# 12 NOW THE BUILDING THAT WAS BEFORE THE SEPARATE PLACE AT THE END TOWARD
 THE WEST WAS SEVENTY CUBITS BROAD; AND THE WALL OF THE BUILDING WAS FIVE
 CUBITS THICK ROUND ABOUT, AND THE LENGTH THEREOF NINETY CUBITS.
# 13 SO HE MEASURED THE HOUSE, AN HUNDRED CUBITS LONG; AND THE SEPARATE
 PLACE, AND THE BUILDING, WITH THE WALLS THEREOF, AN HUNDRED CUBITS LONG;
# 14 ALSO THE BREADTH OF THE FACE OF THE HOUSE, AND OF THE SEPARATE PLACE
 TOWARD THE EAST, AN HUNDRED CUBITS.
# 15 AND HE MEASURED THE LENGTH OF THE BUILDING OVER AGAINST THE SEPARATE
 PLACE WHICH WAS BEHIND IT, AND THE GALLERIES THEREOF ON THE ONE SIDE AND ON
 THE OTHER SIDE, AN HUNDRED CUBITS, WITH THE INNER TEMPLE, AND THE PORCHES OF
 THE COURT;
# 16 THE DOOR POSTS, AND THE NARROW WINDOWS, AND THE GALLERIES ROUND ABOUT ON
 THEIR THREE STORIES, OVER AGAINST THE DOOR, CIELED WITH WOOD ROUND ABOUT, AND
 FROM THE GROUND UP TO THE WINDOWS, AND THE WINDOWS WERE COVERED;
# 17 TO THAT ABOVE THE DOOR, EVEN UNTO THE INNER HOUSE, AND WITHOUT, AND BY
 ALL THE WALL ROUND ABOUT WITHIN AND WITHOUT, BY MEASURE.
# 18 AND IT WAS MADE WITH CHERUBIMS AND PALM TREES, SO THAT A PALM TREE WAS
 BETWEEN A CHERUB AND A CHERUB; AND EVERY CHERUB HAD TWO FACES;
# 19 SO THAT THE FACE OF A MAN WAS TOWARD THE PALM TREE ON THE ONE SIDE, AND
 THE FACE OF A YOUNG LION TOWARD THE PALM TREE ON THE OTHER SIDE: IT WAS MADE
 THROUGH ALL THE HOUSE ROUND ABOUT.
# 20 FROM THE GROUND UNTO ABOVE THE DOOR WERE CHERUBIMS AND PALM TREES MADE,
 AND ON THE WALL OF THE TEMPLE.
# 21 THE POSTS OF THE TEMPLE WERE SQUARED, AND THE FACE OF THE SANCTUARY; THE
 APPEARANCE OF THE ONE AS THE APPEARANCE OF THE OTHER.
# 22 THE ALTAR OF WOOD WAS THREE CUBITS HIGH, AND THE LENGTH THEREOF TWO
 CUBITS; AND THE CORNERS THEREOF, AND THE LENGTH THEREOF, AND THE WALLS
 THEREOF, WERE OF WOOD: AND HE SAID UNTO ME, THIS IS THE TABLE THAT IS BEFORE
 THE LORD.
# 23 AND THE TEMPLE AND THE SANCTUARY HAD TWO DOORS.
# 24 AND THE DOORS HAD TWO LEAVES APIECE, TWO TURNING LEAVES; TWO LEAVES FOR
 THE ONE DOOR, AND TWO LEAVES FOR THE OTHER DOOR.
# 25 AND THERE WERE MADE ON THEM, ON THE DOORS OF THE TEMPLE, CHERUBIMS AND
 PALM TREES, LIKE AS WERE MADE UPON THE WALLS; AND THERE WERE THICK PLANKS
 UPON THE FACE OF THE PORCH WITHOUT.
# 26 AND THERE WERE NARROW WINDOWS AND PALM TREES ON THE ONE SIDE AND ON THE
 OTHER SIDE, ON THE SIDES OF THE PORCH, AND UPON THE SIDE CHAMBERS OF THE
 HOUSE, AND THICK PLANKS.
= CHAPTER 42 
# 1 THEN HE BROUGHT ME FORTH INTO THE UTTER COURT, THE WAY TOWARD THE NORTH:
 AND HE BROUGHT ME INTO THE CHAMBER THAT WAS OVER AGAINST THE SEPARATE PLACE,
 AND WHICH WAS BEFORE THE BUILDING TOWARD THE NORTH.
# 2 BEFORE THE LENGTH OF AN HUNDRED CUBITS WAS THE NORTH DOOR, AND THE
 BREADTH WAS FIFTY CUBITS.
# 3 OVER AGAINST THE TWENTY CUBITS WHICH WERE FOR THE INNER COURT, AND OVER
 AGAINST THE PAVEMENT WHICH WAS FOR THE UTTER COURT, WAS GALLERY AGAINST
 GALLERY IN THREE STORIES.
# 4 AND BEFORE THE CHAMBERS WAS A WALK TO TEN CUBITS BREADTH INWARD, A WAY OF
 ONE CUBIT; AND THEIR DOORS TOWARD THE NORTH.
# 5 NOW THE UPPER CHAMBERS WERE SHORTER: FOR THE GALLERIES WERE HIGHER THAN
 THESE, THAN THE LOWER, AND THAN THE MIDDLEMOST OF THE BUILDING.
# 6 FOR THEY WERE IN THREE STORIES, BUT HAD NOT PILLARS AS THE PILLARS OF THE
 COURTS: THEREFORE THE BUILDING WAS STRAITENED MORE THAN THE LOWEST AND THE
 MIDDLEMOST FROM THE GROUND.
# 7 AND THE WALL THAT WAS WITHOUT OVER AGAINST THE CHAMBERS, TOWARD THE UTTER
 COURT ON THE FOREPART OF THE CHAMBERS, THE LENGTH THEREOF WAS FIFTY CUBITS.
# 8 FOR THE LENGTH OF THE CHAMBERS THAT WERE IN THE UTTER COURT WAS FIFTY
 CUBITS: AND, LO, BEFORE THE TEMPLE WERE AN HUNDRED CUBITS.
# 9 AND FROM UNDER THESE CHAMBERS WAS THE ENTRY ON THE EAST SIDE, AS ONE
 GOETH INTO THEM FROM THE UTTER COURT.
# 10 THE CHAMBERS WERE IN THE THICKNESS OF THE WALL OF THE COURT TOWARD THE
 EAST, OVER AGAINST THE SEPARATE PLACE, AND OVER AGAINST THE BUILDING.
# 11 AND THE WAY BEFORE THEM WAS LIKE THE APPEARANCE OF THE CHAMBERS WHICH
 WERE TOWARD THE NORTH, AS LONG AS THEY, AND AS BROAD AS THEY: AND ALL THEIR
 GOINGS OUT WERE BOTH ACCORDING TO THEIR FASHIONS, AND ACCORDING TO THEIR
 DOORS.
# 12 AND ACCORDING TO THE DOORS OF THE CHAMBERS THAT WERE TOWARD THE SOUTH
 WAS A DOOR IN THE HEAD OF THE WAY, EVEN THE WAY DIRECTLY BEFORE THE WALL
 TOWARD THE EAST, AS ONE ENTERETH INTO THEM.
# 13 THEN SAID HE UNTO ME, THE NORTH CHAMBERS AND THE SOUTH CHAMBERS, WHICH
 ARE BEFORE THE SEPARATE PLACE, THEY BE HOLY CHAMBERS, WHERE THE PRIESTS THAT
 APPROACH UNTO THE LORD SHALL EAT THE MOST HOLY THINGS: THERE SHALL THEY LAY
 THE MOST HOLY THINGS, AND THE MEAT OFFERING, AND THE SIN OFFERING, AND THE
 TRESPASS OFFERING; FOR THE PLACE IS HOLY.
# 14 WHEN THE PRIESTS ENTER THEREIN, THEN SHALL THEY NOT GO OUT OF THE HOLY
 PLACE INTO THE UTTER COURT, BUT THERE THEY SHALL LAY THEIR GARMENTS WHEREIN
 THEY MINISTER; FOR THEY ARE HOLY; AND SHALL PUT ON OTHER GARMENTS, AND SHALL
 APPROACH TO THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE FOR THE PEOPLE.
# 15 NOW WHEN HE HAD MADE AN END OF MEASURING THE INNER HOUSE, HE BROUGHT ME
 FORTH TOWARD THE GATE WHOSE PROSPECT IS TOWARD THE EAST, AND MEASURED IT
 ROUND ABOUT.
# 16 HE MEASURED THE EAST SIDE WITH THE MEASURING REED, FIVE HUNDRED REEDS,
 WITH THE MEASURING REED ROUND ABOUT.
# 17 HE MEASURED THE NORTH SIDE, FIVE HUNDRED REEDS, WITH THE MEASURING REED
 ROUND ABOUT.
# 18 HE MEASURED THE SOUTH SIDE, FIVE HUNDRED REEDS, WITH THE MEASURING REED.
# 19 HE TURNED ABOUT TO THE WEST SIDE, AND MEASURED FIVE HUNDRED REEDS WITH
 THE MEASURING REED.
# 20 HE MEASURED IT BY THE FOUR SIDES: IT HAD A WALL ROUND ABOUT, FIVE
 HUNDRED REEDS LONG, AND FIVE HUNDRED BROAD, TO MAKE A SEPARATION BETWEEN THE
 SANCTUARY AND THE PROFANE PLACE.
= CHAPTER 43 
# 1 AFTERWARD HE BROUGHT ME TO THE GATE, EVEN THE GATE THAT LOOKETH TOWARD THE
 EAST:
# 2 AND, BEHOLD, THE GLORY OF THE GOD OF ISRAEL CAME FROM THE WAY OF THE
 EAST: AND HIS VOICE WAS LIKE A NOISE OF MANY WATERS: AND THE EARTH SHINED
 WITH HIS GLORY.
# 3 AND IT WAS ACCORDING TO THE APPEARANCE OF THE VISION WHICH I SAW, EVEN
 ACCORDING TO THE VISION THAT I SAW WHEN I CAME TO DESTROY THE CITY: AND THE
 VISIONS WERE LIKE THE VISION THAT I SAW BY THE RIVER CHEBAR; AND I FELL UPON
 MY FACE.
# 4 AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD CAME INTO THE HOUSE BY THE WAY OF THE GATE
 WHOSE PROSPECT IS TOWARD THE EAST.
# 5 SO THE SPIRIT TOOK ME UP, AND BROUGHT ME INTO THE INNER COURT; AND,
 BEHOLD, THE GLORY OF THE LORD FILLED THE HOUSE.
# 6 AND I HEARD HIM SPEAKING UNTO ME OUT OF THE HOUSE; AND THE MAN STOOD BY
 ME.
# 7 AND HE SAID UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, THE PLACE OF MY THRONE, AND THE PLACE OF
 THE SOLES OF MY FEET, WHERE I WILL DWELL IN THE MIDST OF THE CHILDREN OF
 ISRAEL FOR EVER, AND MY HOLY NAME, SHALL THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL NO MORE DEFILE,
 NEITHER THEY, NOR THEIR KINGS, BY THEIR WHOREDOM, NOR BY THE CARCASES OF
 THEIR KINGS IN THEIR HIGH PLACES.
# 8 IN THEIR SETTING OF THEIR THRESHOLD BY MY THRESHOLDS, AND THEIR POST BY
 MY POSTS, AND THE WALL BETWEEN ME AND THEM, THEY HAVE EVEN DEFILED MY HOLY
 NAME BY THEIR ABOMINATIONS THAT THEY HAVE COMMITTED: WHEREFORE I HAVE
 CONSUMED THEM IN MINE ANGER.
# 9 NOW LET THEM PUT AWAY THEIR WHOREDOM, AND THE CARCASES OF THEIR KINGS,
 FAR FROM ME, AND I WILL DWELL IN THE MIDST OF THEM FOR EVER.
# 10 THOU SON OF MAN, SHEW THE HOUSE TO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, THAT THEY MAY BE
 ASHAMED OF THEIR INIQUITIES: AND LET THEM MEASURE THE PATTERN.
# 11 AND IF THEY BE ASHAMED OF ALL THAT THEY HAVE DONE, SHEW THEM THE FORM OF
 THE HOUSE, AND THE FASHION THEREOF, AND THE GOINGS OUT THEREOF, AND THE
 COMINGS IN THEREOF, AND ALL THE FORMS THEREOF, AND ALL THE ORDINANCES
 THEREOF, AND ALL THE FORMS THEREOF, AND ALL THE LAWS THEREOF: AND WRITE IT IN
 THEIR SIGHT, THAT THEY MAY KEEP THE WHOLE FORM THEREOF, AND ALL T
 ORDINANCES THEREOF, AND DO THEM.
# 12 THIS IS THE LAW OF THE HOUSE; UPON THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN THE WHOLE
 LIMIT THEREOF ROUND ABOUT SHALL BE MOST HOLY. BEHOLD, THIS IS THE LAW OF THE
 HOUSE.
# 13 AND THESE ARE THE MEASURES OF THE ALTAR AFTER THE CUBITS: THE CUBIT IS A
 CUBIT AND AN HAND BREADTH; EVEN THE BOTTOM SHALL BE A CUBIT, AND THE BREADTH
 A CUBIT, AND THE BORDER THEREOF BY THE EDGE THEREOF ROUND ABOUT SHALL BE A
 SPAN: AND THIS SHALL BE THE HIGHER PLACE OF THE ALTAR.
# 14 AND FROM THE BOTTOM UPON THE GROUND EVEN TO THE LOWER SETTLE SHALL BE
 TWO CUBITS, AND THE BREADTH ONE CUBIT; AND FROM THE LESSER SETTLE EVEN TO THE
 GREATER SETTLE SHALL BE FOUR CUBITS, AND THE BREADTH ONE CUBIT.
# 15 SO THE ALTAR SHALL BE FOUR CUBITS; AND FROM THE ALTAR AND UPWARD SHALL
 BE FOUR HORNS.
# 16 AND THE ALTAR SHALL BE TWELVE CUBITS LONG, TWELVE BROAD, SQUARE IN THE
 FOUR SQUARES THEREOF.
# 17 AND THE SETTLE SHALL BE FOURTEEN CUBITS LONG AND FOURTEEN BROAD IN THE
 FOUR SQUARES THEREOF; AND THE BORDER ABOUT IT SHALL BE HALF A CUBIT; AND THE
 BOTTOM THEREOF SHALL BE A CUBIT ABOUT; AND HIS STAIRS SHALL LOOK TOWARD THE
 EAST.
# 18 AND HE SAID UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; THESE ARE THE
 ORDINANCES OF THE ALTAR IN THE DAY WHEN THEY SHALL MAKE IT, TO OFFER BURNT
 OFFERINGS THEREON, AND TO SPRINKLE BLOOD THEREON.
# 19 AND THOU SHALT GIVE TO THE PRIESTS THE LEVITES THAT BE OF THE SEED OF
 ZADOK, WHICH APPROACH UNTO ME, TO MINISTER UNTO ME, SAITH THE LORD GOD, A
 YOUNG BULLOCK FOR A SIN OFFERING.
# 20 AND THOU SHALT TAKE OF THE BLOOD THEREOF, AND PUT IT ON THE FOUR HORNS
 OF IT, AND ON THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE SETTLE, AND UPON THE BORDER ROUND
 ABOUT: THUS SHALT THOU CLEANSE AND PURGE IT.
# 21 THOU SHALT TAKE THE BULLOCK ALSO OF THE SIN OFFERING, AND HE SHALL BURN
 IT IN THE APPOINTED PLACE OF THE HOUSE, WITHOUT THE SANCTUARY.
# 22 AND ON THE SECOND DAY THOU SHALT OFFER A KID OF THE GOATS WITHOUT
 BLEMISH FOR A SIN OFFERING; AND THEY SHALL CLEANSE THE ALTAR, AS THEY DID
 CLEANSE IT WITH THE BULLOCK.
# 23 WHEN THOU HAST MADE AN END OF CLEANSING IT, THOU SHALT OFFER A YOUNG
 BULLOCK WITHOUT BLEMISH, AND A RAM OUT OF THE FLOCK WITHOUT BLEMISH.
# 24 AND THOU SHALT OFFER THEM BEFORE THE LORD, AND THE PRIESTS SHALL CAST
 SALT UPON THEM, AND THEY SHALL OFFER THEM UP FOR A BURNT OFFERING UNTO THE
 LORD.
# 25 SEVEN DAYS SHALT THOU PREPARE EVERY DAY A GOAT FOR A SIN OFFERING: THEY
 SHALL ALSO PREPARE A YOUNG BULLOCK, AND A RAM OUT OF THE FLOCK, WITHOUT
 BLEMISH.
# 26 SEVEN DAYS SHALL THEY PURGE THE ALTAR AND PURIFY IT; AND THEY SHALL
 CONSECRATE THEMSELVES.
# 27 AND WHEN THESE DAYS ARE EXPIRED, IT SHALL BE, THAT UPON THE EIGHTH DAY,
 AND SO FORWARD, THE PRIESTS SHALL MAKE YOUR BURNT OFFERINGS UPON THE ALTAR,
 AND YOUR PEACE OFFERINGS; AND I WILL ACCEPT YOU, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
= CHAPTER 44 
# 1 THEN HE BROUGHT ME BACK THE WAY OF THE GATE OF THE OUTWARD SANCTUARY WHICH
 LOOKETH TOWARD THE EAST; AND IT WAS SHUT.
# 2 THEN SAID THE LORD UNTO ME; THIS GATE SHALL BE SHUT, IT SHALL NOT BE
 OPENED, AND NO MAN SHALL ENTER IN BY IT; BECAUSE THE LORD, THE GOD OF ISRAEL,
 HATH ENTERED IN BY IT, THEREFORE IT SHALL BE SHUT.
# 3 IT IS FOR THE PRINCE; THE PRINCE, HE SHALL SIT IN IT TO EAT BREAD BEFORE
 THE LORD; HE SHALL ENTER BY THE WAY OF THE PORCH OF THAT GATE, AND SHALL GO
 OUT BY THE WAY OF THE SAME.
# 4 THEN BROUGHT HE ME THE WAY OF THE NORTH GATE BEFORE THE HOUSE: AND I
 LOOKED, AND, BEHOLD, THE GLORY OF THE LORD FILLED THE HOUSE OF THE LORD: AND
 I FELL UPON MY FACE.
# 5 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, MARK WELL, AND BEHOLD WITH THINE
 EYES, AND HEAR WITH THINE EARS ALL THAT I SAY UNTO THEE CONCERNING ALL THE
 ORDINANCES OF THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, AND ALL THE LAWS THEREOF; AND MARK WELL
 THE ENTERING IN OF THE HOUSE, WITH EVERY GOING FORTH OF THE SANCTUARY.
# 6 AND THOU SHALT SAY TO THE REBELLIOUS, EVEN TO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, THUS
 SAITH THE LORD GOD; O YE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, LET IT SUFFICE YOU OF ALL YOUR
 ABOMINATIONS,
# 7 IN THAT YE HAVE BROUGHT INTO MY SANCTUARY STRANGERS, UNCIRCUMCISED IN
 HEART, AND UNCIRCUMCISED IN FLESH, TO BE IN MY SANCTUARY, TO POLLUTE IT, EVEN
 MY HOUSE, WHEN YE OFFER MY BREAD, THE FAT AND THE BLOOD, AND THEY HAVE BROKEN
 MY COVENANT BECAUSE OF ALL YOUR ABOMINATIONS.
# 8 AND YE HAVE NOT KEPT THE CHARGE OF MINE HOLY THINGS: BUT YE HAVE SET
 KEEPERS OF MY CHARGE IN MY SANCTUARY FOR YOURSELVES.
# 9 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; NO STRANGER, UNCIRCUMCISED IN HEART, NOR
 UNCIRCUMCISED IN FLESH, SHALL ENTER INTO MY SANCTUARY, OF ANY STRANGER THAT
 IS AMONG THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.
# 10 AND THE LEVITES THAT ARE GONE AWAY FAR FROM ME, WHEN ISRAEL WENT ASTRAY,
 WHICH WENT ASTRAY AWAY FROM ME AFTER THEIR IDOLS; THEY SHALL EVEN BEAR THEIR
 INIQUITY.
# 11 YET THEY SHALL BE MINISTERS IN MY SANCTUARY, HAVING CHARGE AT THE GATES
 OF THE HOUSE, AND MINISTERING TO THE HOUSE: THEY SHALL SLAY THE BURNT
 OFFERING AND THE SACRIFICE FOR THE PEOPLE, AND THEY SHALL STAND BEFORE THEM
 TO MINISTER UNTO THEM.
# 12 BECAUSE THEY MINISTERED UNTO THEM BEFORE THEIR IDOLS, AND CAUSED THE
 HOUSE OF ISRAEL TO FALL INTO INIQUITY; THEREFORE HAVE I LIFTED UP MINE HAND
 AGAINST THEM, SAITH THE LORD GOD, AND THEY SHALL BEAR THEIR INIQUITY.
# 13 AND THEY SHALL NOT COME NEAR UNTO ME, TO DO THE OFFICE OF A PRIEST UNTO
 ME, NOR TO COME NEAR TO ANY OF MY HOLY THINGS, IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE: BUT
 THEY SHALL BEAR THEIR SHAME, AND THEIR ABOMINATIONS WHICH THEY HAVE
 COMMITTED.
# 14 BUT I WILL MAKE THEM KEEPERS OF THE CHARGE OF THE HOUSE, FOR ALL THE
 SERVICE THEREOF, AND FOR ALL THAT SHALL BE DONE THEREIN.
# 15 BUT THE PRIESTS THE LEVITES, THE SONS OF ZADOK, THAT KEPT THE CHARGE OF
 MY SANCTUARY WHEN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WENT ASTRAY FROM ME, THEY SHALL COME
 NEAR TO ME TO MINISTER UNTO ME, AND THEY SHALL STAND BEFORE ME TO OFFER UNTO
 ME THE FAT AND THE BLOOD, SAITH THE LORD GOD:
# 16 THEY SHALL ENTER INTO MY SANCTUARY, AND THEY SHALL COME NEAR TO MY
 TABLE, TO MINISTER UNTO ME, AND THEY SHALL KEEP MY CHARGE.
# 17 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT WHEN THEY ENTER IN AT THE GATES OF THE
 INNER COURT, THEY SHALL BE CLOTHED WITH LINEN GARMENTS; AND NO WOOL SHALL
 COME UPON THEM, WHILES THEY MINISTER IN THE GATES OF THE INNER COURT, AND
 WITHIN.
# 18 THEY SHALL HAVE LINEN BONNETS UPON THEIR HEADS, AND SHALL HAVE LINEN
 BREECHES UPON THEIR LOINS; THEY SHALL NOT GIRD THEMSELVES WITH ANY THING THAT
 CAUSETH SWEAT.
# 19 AND WHEN THEY GO FORTH INTO THE UTTER COURT, EVEN INTO THE UTTER COURT
 TO THE PEOPLE, THEY SHALL PUT OFF THEIR GARMENTS WHEREIN THEY MINISTERED, AND
 LAY THEM IN THE HOLY CHAMBERS, AND THEY SHALL PUT ON OTHER GARMENTS; AND THEY
 SHALL NOT SANCTIFY THE PEOPLE WITH THEIR GARMENTS.
# 20 NEITHER SHALL THEY SHAVE THEIR HEADS, NOR SUFFER THEIR LOCKS TO GROW
 LONG; THEY SHALL ONLY POLL THEIR HEADS.
# 21 NEITHER SHALL ANY PRIEST DRINK WINE, WHEN THEY ENTER INTO THE INNER
 COURT.
# 22 NEITHER SHALL THEY TAKE FOR THEIR WIVES A WIDOW, NOR HER THAT IS PUT
 AWAY: BUT THEY SHALL TAKE MAIDENS OF THE SEED OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, OR A
 WIDOW THAT HAD A PRIEST BEFORE.
# 23 AND THEY SHALL TEACH MY PEOPLE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HOLY AND
 PROFANE, AND CAUSE THEM TO DISCERN BETWEEN THE UNCLEAN AND THE CLEAN.
# 24 AND IN CONTROVERSY THEY SHALL STAND IN JUDGMENT; AND THEY SHALL JUDGE IT
 ACCORDING TO MY JUDGMENTS: AND THEY SHALL KEEP MY LAWS AND MY STATUTES IN ALL
 MINE ASSEMBLIES; AND THEY SHALL HALLOW MY SABBATHS.
# 25 AND THEY SHALL COME AT NO DEAD PERSON TO DEFILE THEMSELVES: BUT FOR
 FATHER, OR FOR MOTHER, OR FOR SON, OR FOR DAUGHTER, FOR BROTHER, OR FOR
 SISTER THAT HATH HAD NO HUSBAND, THEY MAY DEFILE THEMSELVES.
# 26 AND AFTER HE IS CLEANSED, THEY SHALL RECKON UNTO HIM SEVEN DAYS.
# 27 AND IN THE DAY THAT HE GOETH INTO THE SANCTUARY, UNTO THE INNER COURT,
 TO MINISTER IN THE SANCTUARY, HE SHALL OFFER HIS SIN OFFERING, SAITH THE LORD
 GOD.
# 28 AND IT SHALL BE UNTO THEM FOR AN INHERITANCE: I AM THEIR INHERITANCE:
 AND YE SHALL GIVE THEM NO POSSESSION IN ISRAEL: I AM THEIR POSSESSION.
# 29 THEY SHALL EAT THE MEAT OFFERING, AND THE SIN OFFERING, AND THE TRESPASS
 OFFERING: AND EVERY DEDICATED THING IN ISRAEL SHALL BE THEIRS.
# 30 AND THE FIRST OF ALL THE FIRSTFRUITS OF ALL THINGS, AND EVERY OBLATION
 OF ALL, OF EVERY SORT OF YOUR OBLATIONS, SHALL BE THE PRIESTS: YE SHALL ALSO
 GIVE UNTO THE PRIEST THE FIRST OF YOUR DOUGH, THAT HE MAY CAUSE THE BLESSING
 TO REST IN THINE HOUSE.
# 31 THE PRIESTS SHALL NOT EAT OF ANY THING THAT IS DEAD OF ITSELF, OR TORN,
 WHETHER IT BE FOWL OR BEAS
= CHAPTER 45 
# 1 MOREOVER, WHEN YE SHALL DIVIDE BY LOT THE LAND FOR INHERITANCE, YE SHALL
 OFFER AN OBLATION UNTO THE LORD, AN HOLY PORTION OF THE LAND: THE LENGTH
 SHALL BE THE LENGTH OF FIVE AND TWENTY THOUSAND REEDS, AND THE BREADTH SHALL
 BE TEN THOUSAND. THIS SHALL BE HOLY IN ALL THE BORDERS THEREOF ROUND ABOUT.
# 2 OF THIS THERE SHALL BE FOR THE SANCTUARY FIVE HUNDRED IN LENGTH, WITH
 FIVE HUNDRED IN BREADTH, SQUARE ROUND ABOUT; AND FIFTY CUBITS ROUND ABOUT FOR
 THE SUBURBS THEREOF.
# 3 AND OF THIS MEASURE SHALT THOU MEASURE THE LENGTH OF FIVE AND TWENTY
 THOUSAND, AND THE BREADTH OF TEN THOUSAND: AND IN IT SHALL BE THE SANCTUARY
 AND THE MOST HOLY PLACE.
# 4 THE HOLY PORTION OF THE LAND SHALL BE FOR THE PRIESTS THE MINISTERS OF
 THE SANCTUARY, WHICH SHALL COME NEAR TO MINISTER UNTO THE LORD: AND IT SHALL
 BE A PLACE FOR THEIR HOUSES, AND AN HOLY PLACE FOR THE SANCTUARY.
# 5 AND THE FIVE AND TWENTY THOUSAND OF LENGTH, AND THE TEN THOUSAND OF
 BREADTH SHALL ALSO THE LEVITES, THE MINISTERS OF THE HOUSE, HAVE FOR
 THEMSELVES, FOR A POSSESSION FOR TWENTY CHAMBERS.
# 6 AND YE SHALL APPOINT THE POSSESSION OF THE CITY FIVE THOUSAND BROAD, AND
 FIVE AND TWENTY THOUSAND LONG, OVER AGAINST THE OBLATION OF THE HOLY PORTION:
 IT SHALL BE FOR THE WHOLE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.
# 7 AND A PORTION SHALL BE FOR THE PRINCE ON THE ONE SIDE AND ON THE OTHER
 SIDE OF THE OBLATION OF THE HOLY PORTION, AND OF THE POSSESSION OF THE CITY,
 BEFORE THE OBLATION OF THE HOLY PORTION, AND BEFORE THE POSSESSION OF THE
 CITY, FROM THE WEST SIDE WESTWARD, AND FROM THE EAST SIDE EASTWARD: AND THE
 LENGTH SHALL BE OVER AGAINST ONE OF THE PORTIONS, FROM THE WEST BORDER UNTO
 THE EAST BORDER.
# 8 IN THE LAND SHALL BE HIS POSSESSION IN ISRAEL: AND MY PRINCES SHALL NO
 MORE OPPRESS MY PEOPLE; AND THE REST OF THE LAND SHALL THEY GIVE TO THE HOUSE
 OF ISRAEL ACCORDING TO THEIR TRIBES.
# 9 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; LET IT SUFFICE YOU, O PRINCES OF ISRAEL: REMOVE
 VIOLENCE AND SPOIL, AND EXECUTE JUDGMENT AND JUSTICE, TAKE AWAY YOUR
 EXACTIONS FROM MY PEOPLE, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 10 YE SHALL HAVE JUST BALANCES, AND A JUST EPHAH, AND A JUST BATH.
# 11 THE EPHAH AND THE BATH SHALL BE OF ONE MEASURE, THAT THE BATH MAY
 CONTAIN THE TENTH PART OF AN HOMER, AND THE EPHAH THE TENTH PART OF AN HOMER:
 THE MEASURE THEREOF SHALL BE AFTER THE HOMER.
# 12 AND THE SHEKEL SHALL BE TWENTY GERAHS: TWENTY SHEKELS, FIVE AND TWENTY
 SHEKELS, FIFTEEN SHEKELS, SHALL BE YOUR MANEH.
# 13 THIS IS THE OBLATION THAT YE SHALL OFFER; THE SIXTH PART OF AN EPHAH OF
 AN HOMER OF WHEAT, AND YE SHALL GIVE THE SIXTH PART OF AN EPHAH OF AN HOMER
 OF BARLEY:
# 14 CONCERNING THE ORDINANCE OF OIL, THE BATH OF OIL, YE SHALL OFFER THE
 TENTH PART OF A BATH OUT OF THE COR, WHICH IS AN HOMER OF TEN BATHS; FOR TEN
 BATHS ARE AN HOMER:
# 15 AND ONE LAMB OUT OF THE FLOCK, OUT OF TWO HUNDRED, OUT OF THE FAT
 PASTURES OF ISRAEL; FOR A MEAT OFFERING, AND FOR A BURNT OFFERING, AND FOR
 PEACE OFFERINGS, TO MAKE RECONCILIATION FOR THEM, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
# 16 ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND SHALL GIVE THIS OBLATION FOR THE PRINCE IN
 ISRAEL.
# 17 AND IT SHALL BE THE PRINCES PART TO GIVE BURNT OFFERINGS, AND MEAT
 OFFERINGS, AND DRINK OFFERINGS, IN THE FEASTS, AND IN THE NEW MOONS, AND IN
 THE SABBATHS, IN ALL SOLEMNITIES OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL: HE SHALL PREPARE THE
 SIN OFFERING, AND THE MEAT OFFERING, AND THE BURNT OFFERING, AND THE PEACE
 OFFERINGS, TO MAKE RECONCILIATION FOR THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.
# 18 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; IN THE FIRST MONTH, IN THE FIRST DAY OF THE
 MONTH, THOU SHALT TAKE A YOUNG BULLOCK WITHOUT BLEMISH, AND CLEANSE THE
 SANCTUARY:
# 19 AND THE PRIEST SHALL TAKE OF THE BLOOD OF THE SIN OFFERING, AND PUT IT
 UPON THE POSTS OF THE HOUSE, AND UPON THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE SETTLE OF THE
 ALTAR, AND UPON THE POSTS OF THE GATE OF THE INNER COURT.
# 20 AND SO THOU SHALT DO THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE MONTH FOR EVERY ONE THAT
 ERRETH, AND FOR HIM THAT IS SIMPLE: SO SHALL YE RECONCILE THE HOUSE.
# 21 IN THE FIRST MONTH, IN THE FOURTEENTH DAY OF THE MONTH, YE SHALL HAVE
 THE PASSOVER, A FEAST OF SEVEN DAYS; UNLEAVENED BREAD SHALL BE EATEN.
# 22 AND UPON THAT DAY SHALL THE PRINCE PREPARE FOR HIMSELF AND FOR ALL THE
 PEOPLE OF THE LAND A BULLOCK FOR A SIN OFFERING.
# 23 AND SEVEN DAYS OF THE FEAST HE SHALL PREPARE A BURNT OFFERING TO THE
 LORD, SEVEN BULLOCKS AND SEVEN RAMS WITHOUT BLEMISH DAILY THE SEVEN DAYS; AND
 A KID OF THE GOATS DAILY FOR A SIN OFFERING.
# 24 AND HE SHALL PREPARE A MEAT OFFERING OF AN EPHAH FOR A BULLOCK, AND AN
 EPHAH FOR A RAM, AND AN HIN OF OIL FOR AN EPHAH.
# 25 IN THE SEVENTH MONTH, IN THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF THE MONTH, SHALL HE DO THE
 LIKE IN THE FEAST OF THE SEVEN DAYS, ACCORDING TO THE SIN OFFERING, ACCORDING
 TO THE BURNT OFFERING, AND ACCORDING TO THE MEAT OFFERING, AND ACCORDING TO
 THE OIL.
= CHAPTER 46 
# 1 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; THE GATE OF THE INNER COURT THAT LOOKETH TOWARD
 THE EAST SHALL BE SHUT THE SIX WORKING DAYS; BUT ON THE SABBATH IT SHALL BE
 OPENED, AND IN THE DAY OF THE NEW MOON IT SHALL BE OPENED.
# 2 AND THE PRINCE SHALL ENTER BY THE WAY OF THE PORCH OF THAT GATE WITHOUT,
 AND SHALL STAND BY THE POST OF THE GATE, AND THE PRIESTS SHALL PREPARE HIS
 BURNT OFFERING AND HIS PEACE OFFERINGS, AND HE SHALL WORSHIP AT THE THRESHOLD
 OF THE GATE: THEN HE SHALL GO FORTH; BUT THE GATE SHALL NOT BE SHUT UNTIL THE
 EVENING.
# 3 LIKEWISE THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND SHALL WORSHIP AT THE DOOR OF THIS GATE
 BEFORE THE LORD IN THE SABBATHS AND IN THE NEW MOONS.
# 4 AND THE BURNT OFFERING THAT THE PRINCE SHALL OFFER UNTO THE LORD IN THE
 SABBATH DAY SHALL BE SIX LAMBS WITHOUT BLEMISH, AND A RAM WITHOUT BLEMISH.
# 5 AND THE MEAT OFFERING SHALL BE AN EPHAH FOR A RAM, AND THE MEAT OFFERING
 FOR THE LAMBS AS HE SHALL BE ABLE TO GIVE, AND AN HIN OF OIL TO AN EPHAH.
# 6 AND IN THE DAY OF THE NEW MOON IT SHALL BE A YOUNG BULLOCK WITHOUT
 BLEMISH, AND SIX LAMBS, AND A RAM: THEY SHALL BE WITHOUT BLEMISH.
# 7 AND HE SHALL PREPARE A MEAT OFFERING, AN EPHAH FOR A BULLOCK, AND AN
 EPHAH FOR A RAM, AND FOR THE LAMBS ACCORDING AS HIS HAND SHALL ATTAIN UNTO,
 AND AN HIN OF OIL TO AN EPHAH.
# 8 AND WHEN THE PRINCE SHALL ENTER, HE SHALL GO IN BY THE WAY OF THE PORCH
 OF THAT GATE, AND HE SHALL GO FORTH BY THE WAY THERE OF.
# 9 BUT WHEN THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND SHALL COME BEFORE THE LORD IN THE SOLEMN
 FEASTS, HE THAT ENTERETH IN BY THE WAY OF THE NORTH GATE TO WORSHIP SHALL GO
 OUT BY THE WAY OF THE SOUTH GATE; AND HE THAT ENTERETH BY THE WAY OF THE
 SOUTH GATE SHALL GO FORTH BY THE WAY OF THE NORTH GATE: HE SHALL NOT RETURN
 BY THE WAY OF THE GATE WHEREBY HE CAME IN, BUT SHALL GO FORTH OVER AGAINST
 IT.
# 10 AND THE PRINCE IN THE MIDST OF THEM, WHEN THEY GO IN, SHALL GO IN; AND
 WHEN THEY GO FORTH, SHALL GO FORTH.
# 11 AND IN THE FEASTS AND IN THE SOLEMNITIES THE MEAT OFFERING SHALL BE AN
 EPHAH TO A BULLOCK, AND AN EPHAH TO A RAM, AND TO THE LAMBS AS HE IS ABLE TO
 GIVE, AND AN HIN OF OIL TO AN EPHAH.
# 12 NOW WHEN THE PRINCE SHALL PREPARE A VOLUNTARY BURNT OFFERING OR PEACE
 OFFERINGS VOLUNTARILY UNTO THE LORD, ONE SHALL THEN OPEN HIM THE GATE THAT
 LOOKETH TOWARD THE EAST, AND HE SHALL PREPARE HIS BURNT OFFERING AND HIS
 PEACE OFFERINGS, AS HE DID ON THE SABBATH DAY: THEN HE SHALL GO FORTH; AND
 AFTER HIS GOING FORTH ONE SHALL SHUT THE GATE.
# 13 THOU SHALT DAILY PREPARE A BURNT OFFERING UNTO THE LORD OF A LAMB OF THE
 FIRST YEAR WITHOUT BLEMISH: THOU SHALT PREPARE IT EVERY MORNING.
# 14 AND THOU SHALT PREPARE A MEAT OFFERING FOR IT EVERY MORNING, THE SIXTH
 PART OF AN EPHAH, AND THE THIRD PART OF AN HIN OF OIL, TO TEMPER WITH THE
 FINE FLOUR; A MEAT OFFERING CONTINUALLY BY A PERPETUAL ORDINANCE UNTO THE
 LORD.
# 15 THUS SHALL THEY PREPARE THE LAMB, AND THE MEAT OFFERING, AND THE OIL,
 EVERY MORNING FOR A CONTINUAL BURNT OFFERING.
# 16 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; IF THE PRINCE GIVE A GIFT UNTO ANY OF HIS SONS,
 THE INHERITANCE THEREOF SHALL BE HIS SONS; IT SHALL BE THEIR POSSESSION BY
 INHERITANCE.
# 17 BUT IF HE GIVE A GIFT OF HIS INHERITANCE TO ONE OF HIS SERVANTS, THEN IT
 SHALL BE HIS TO THE YEAR OF LIBERTY; AFTER IT SHALL RETURN TO THE PRINCE: BUT
 HIS INHERITANCE SHALL BE HIS SONS FOR THEM.
# 18 MOREOVER THE PRINCE SHALL NOT TAKE OF THE PEOPLES INHERITANCE BY
 OPPRESSION, TO THRUST THEM OUT OF THEIR POSSESSION; BUT HE SHALL GIVE HIS
 SONS INHERITANCE OUT OF HIS OWN POSSESSION: THAT MY PEOPLE BE NOT SCATTERED
 EVERY MAN FROM HIS POSSESSION.
# 19 AFTER HE BROUGHT ME THROUGH THE ENTRY, WHICH WAS AT THE SIDE OF THE
 GATE, INTO THE HOLY CHAMBERS OF THE PRIESTS, WHICH LOOKED TOWARD THE NORTH:
 AND, BEHOLD, THERE WAS A PLACE ON THE TWO SIDES WESTWARD.
# 20 THEN SAID HE UNTO ME, THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE THE PRIESTS SHALL BOIL THE
 TRESPASS OFFERING AND THE SIN OFFERING, WHERE THEY SHALL BAKE THE MEAT
 OFFERING; THAT THEY BEAR THEM NOT OUT INTO THE UTTER COURT, TO SANCTIFY THE
 PEOPLE.
# 21 THEN HE BROUGHT ME FORTH INTO THE UTTER COURT, AND CAUSED ME TO PASS BY
 THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE COURT; AND, BEHOLD, IN EVERY CORNER OF THE COURT
 THERE WAS A COURT.
# 22 IN THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE COURT THERE WERE COURTS JOINED OF FORTY
 CUBITS LONG AND THIRTY BROAD: THESE FOUR CORNERS WERE OF ONE MEASURE.
# 23 AND THERE WAS A ROW OF BUILDING ROUND ABOUT IN THEM, ROUND ABOUT THEM
 FOUR, AND IT WAS MADE WITH BOILING PLACES UNDER THE ROWS ROUND ABOUT.
# 24 THEN SAID HE UNTO ME, THESE ARE THE PLACES OF THEM THAT BOIL, WHERE THE
 MINISTERS OF THE HOUSE SHALL BOIL THE SACRIFICE OF THE PEOPLE.
= CHAPTER 47 
# 1 AFTERWARD HE BROUGHT ME AGAIN UNTO THE DOOR OF THE HOUSE; AND, BEHOLD,
 WATERS ISSUED OUT FROM UNDER THE THRESHOLD OF THE HOUSE EASTWARD: FOR THE
 FOREFRONT OF THE HOUSE STOOD TOWARD THE EAST, AND THE WATERS CAME DOWN FROM
 UNDER FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HOUSE, AT THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ALTAR.
# 2 THEN BROUGHT HE ME OUT OF THE WAY OF THE GATE NORTHWARD, AND LED ME ABOUT
 THE WAY WITHOUT UNTO THE UTTER GATE BY THE WAY THAT LOOKETH EASTWARD; AND,
 BEHOLD, THERE RAN OUT WATERS ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
# 3 AND WHEN THE MAN THAT HAD THE LINE IN HIS HAND WENT FORTH EASTWARD, HE
 MEASURED A THOUSAND CUBITS, AND HE BROUGHT ME THROUGH THE WATERS; THE WATERS
 WERE TO THE ANKLES.
# 4 AGAIN HE MEASURED A THOUSAND, AND BROUGHT ME THROUGH THE WATERS; THE
 WATERS WERE TO THE KNEES. AGAIN HE MEASURED A THOUSAND, AND BROUGHT ME
 THROUGH; THE WATERS WERE TO THE LOINS.
# 5 AFTERWARD HE MEASURED A THOUSAND; AND IT WAS A RIVER THAT I COULD NOT
 PASS OVER: FOR THE WATERS WERE RISEN, WATERS TO SWIM IN, A RIVER THAT COULD
 NOT BE PASSED OVER.
# 6 AND HE SAID UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, HAST THOU SEEN THIS? THEN HE BROUGHT ME,
 AND CAUSED ME TO RETURN TO THE BRINK OF THE RIVER.
# 7 NOW WHEN I HAD RETURNED, BEHOLD, AT THE BANK OF THE RIVER WERE VERY MANY
 TREES ON THE ONE SIDE AND ON THE OTHER.
# 8 THEN SAID HE UNTO ME, THESE WATERS ISSUE OUT TOWARD THE EAST COUNTRY, AND
 GO DOWN INTO THE DESERT, AND GO INTO THE SEA: WHICH BEING BROUGHT FORTH INTO
 THE SEA, THE WATERS SHALL BE HEALED.
# 9 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT EVERY THING THAT LIVETH, WHICH MOVETH,
 WHITHERSOEVER THE RIVERS SHALL COME, SHALL LIVE: AND THERE SHALL BE A VERY
 GREAT MULTITUDE OF FISH, BECAUSE THESE WATERS SHALL COME THITHER: FOR THEY
 SHALL BE HEALED; AND EVERY THING SHALL LIVE WHITHER THE RIVER COMETH.
# 10 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT THE FISHERS SHALL STAND UPON IT FROM
 ENGEDI EVEN UNTO ENEGLAIM; THEY SHALL BE A PLACE TO SPREAD FORTH NETS; THEIR
 FISH SHALL BE ACCORDING TO THEIR KINDS, AS THE FISH OF THE GREAT SEA,
 EXCEEDING MANY.
# 11 BUT THE MIRY PLACES THEREOF AND THE MARISHES THEREOF SHALL NOT BE
 HEALED; THEY SHALL BE GIVEN TO SALT.
# 12 AND BY THE RIVER UPON THE BANK THEREOF, ON THIS SIDE AND ON THAT SIDE,
 SHALL GROW ALL TREES FOR MEAT, WHOSE LEAF SHALL NOT FADE, NEITHER SHALL THE
 FRUIT THEREOF BE CONSUMED: IT SHALL BRING FORTH NEW FRUIT ACCORDING TO HIS
 MONTHS, BECAUSE THEIR WATERS THEY ISSUED OUT OF THE SANCTUARY: AND THE FRUIT
 THEREOF SHALL BE FOR MEAT, AND THE LEAF THEREOF FOR MEDICINE.
# 13 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; THIS SHALL BE THE BORDER, WHEREBY YE SHALL
 INHERIT THE LAND ACCORDING TO THE TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL: JOSEPH SHALL HAVE
 TWO PORTIONS.
# 14 AND YE SHALL INHERIT IT, ONE AS WELL AS ANOTHER: CONCERNING THE WHICH I
 LIFTED UP MINE HAND TO GIVE IT UNTO YOUR FATHERS: AND THIS LAND SHALL FALL
 UNTO YOU FOR INHERITANCE.
# 15 AND THIS SHALL BE THE BORDER OF THE LAND TOWARD THE NORTH SIDE, FROM THE
 GREAT SEA, THE WAY OF HETHLON, AS MEN GO TO ZEDAD;
# 16 HAMATH, BEROTHAH, SIBRAIM, WHICH IS BETWEEN THE BORDER OF DAMASCUS AND
 THE BORDER OF HAMATH; HAZARHATTICON, WHICH IS BY THE COAST OF HAURAN.
# 17 AND THE BORDER FROM THE SEA SHALL BE HAZARENAN, THE BORDER OF DAMASCUS,
 AND THE NORTH NORTHWARD, AND THE BORDER OF HAMATH. AND THIS IS THE NORTH
 SIDE.
# 18 AND THE EAST SIDE YE SHALL MEASURE FROM HAURAN, AND FROM DAMASCUS, AND
 FROM GILEAD, AND FROM THE LAND OF ISRAEL BY JORDAN, FROM THE BORDER UNTO THE
 EAST SEA. AND THIS IS THE EAST SIDE.
# 19 AND THE SOUTH SIDE SOUTHWARD, FROM TAMAR EVEN TO THE WATERS OF STRIFE IN
 KADESH, THE RIVER TO THE GREAT SEA. AND THIS IS THE SOUTH SIDE SOUTHWARD.
# 20 THE WEST SIDE ALSO SHALL BE THE GREAT SEA FROM THE BORDER, TILL A MAN
 COME OVER AGAINST HAMATH. THIS IS THE WEST SIDE.
# 21 SO SHALL YE DIVIDE THIS LAND UNTO YOU ACCORDING TO THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL.
# 22 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT YE SHALL DIVIDE IT BY LOT FOR AN
 INHERITANCE UNTO YOU, AND TO THE STRANGERS THAT SOJOURN AMONG YOU, WHICH
 SHALL BEGET CHILDREN AMONG YOU: AND THEY SHALL BE UNTO YOU AS BORN IN THE
 COUNTRY AMONG THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL; THEY SHALL HAVE INHERITANCE WITH YOU
 AMONG THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL.
# 23 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT IN WHAT TRIBE THE STRANGER SOJOURNETH,
 THERE SHALL YE GIVE HIM HIS INHERITANCE, SAITH THE LORD GOD.

 BE FOR FOOD UNTO THEM THAT SERVE THE CITY.

 ISRAEL.
# 20 ALL THE OBLATION SHALL BE FIVE AND TWENTY THOUSAND BY FIVE AND TWENTY
