peared over them as_it_were a sapphire stone, as. the_appearance_of the_like- ness_of a throne.
2 And He spake unto the ‘man elothed_with xlinen, 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.
8 Now the cherubims -stood on_the_ right_side_of the house, when the ‘man went in; and the cloud filled the inner xcourt.
4 Then the_glory_of J the Lorp 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 Jthe Lorv’s glory.
5 And the_sound_of the cherubim’s wings was_heard even to the outer xcourt, as, the_voice_of the s=Almighty e-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 xcherub stretched_forth his -hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put zt into the_hands_of him that was clothed with «linen: who took 7, and went_out.
8 And there appeared in the cheru-
ims the_form_of a « man’s hand under
their wings. 8 And when I looked, behold the four cewheels by the cherubims, one ¢ wheel
*|by one xcherub, and another ¢ wheel by
another xcherub: and the_appearance_ of the cwheels was as the_colour_of a st beryl stone.
10 And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if @ ¢ xwheel thad_been in the_midst_of @ ¢ xwheel.
11 When they went, they twent ‘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.
22 And their whole / body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the cwheels, were full_of eyes round_about, even the ewheels that they four had.
13 As for the c wheels, +it_was_cried
-|unto them in my hearing, “O r wheel.”
14 And every_one had four faces : the first face was the_face_of a xcherub, 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.
1+ And the cherubims were_lifted up. This 7s the living_creature that I saw by the_riyer_of Chebar.
16 And when the cherubims went, the e wheels went > by them: and when the cherubims lifted_up their -wings to mount_up from. the earth, the_same cwheels also turned not from beside them.
17 When they stood, these 'stood ; and when they were lifted_up, these

‘ifted_up themselves also: for the_ spirit_of the living_creature was in them.
18 Then the-glory_of 'the Lorp de-
arted from off the_threshold_of the
ouse, 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 ‘ihe Lorp’s house; and the _glory_of the_=God_of Israél was over them above.
2 This 2 the living_ereature that I saw under the_=God_of Israél by the_ river_of Chebar ; and I knew that thep were the Cherubims.
21 Every_one had four faces apiece, and every_one four wings; and the_ likeness_of the_hands_of a aman was under their wings.
22 And the_likeness_of their faces was the_same xfaces which I saw by the. river_of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they ‘went every _ one straight forward.
1 1 MOREOVER the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate_of the Lorp’s house, x+which looketh eastward: and behold at the_ e 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 aman, these are the «men xthat devise in mischief, and x+give wicked counsel in xthis «city:
3 x1Which say, ‘Jt 7s not near ; let_ us_build houses: this city is the cal- dron, and wwe be the flesh.’ f
4 Therefore :prophesy against them, *prophesy, O_son_of « man.”
5 And the_Spirit_of !the Lorp fell upon me, and said unto me, “*Speak ; Thus ssaith ) the Lorn; Thus have ye said, O_house_of Israél: for E know the things_that_come_into your mind, every one of them.
6 Ye ‘have_multiplied your =slain in xthis xcity, and ye -have_filled the streets thereof with the slain.
7 Therefore thus J Gop; Your =slain whom ye shave_laid in the_midst_of it, they ave the flesh, and this city 7s the caldron : but I +will_ bring pou forth out_of the_midst_of it.
8 Ye shave_feared the sword; and I will_bring a sword upon you; saith A the =Lord™ Gop.
9 And I -will_bring pou out_of the_ midst thereof, and «deliver pot into the_ hands_of strangers, and -will_execute judgments among you.
10 Ye shall_fall by the sword ; I will_ judge pou in the_border_of Israel ; and ye ‘shall_know that £ am ‘the Lorp.
1 This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall pe be the flesh in the_ midst thereof; but I will_judge pou in the_border_of Israél :

138 And it came_to_pass, when I pro- phesied, that Pelatiah the _ son _ of Benaiah died. Then fell_I_-down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, “Ah 4=Lord !Gop! «wilt Thou make a full_end_of -the_rem- nant_of Israél?”
14 Again the_word_of ! the Lorp came unto me, saying,
1s “Son_of «man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the_«men_of thy kindred, and all the_house_of Israél wholly, are they unto whom the_inhabitants_of Jerusalem -have_said, ‘-Get_you _far from / the Lorp: unto us «is this land given in possession’
16 Therefore -say, ‘Thus ssaith 4 the =Lord !Gop; 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 alittle sanctuary in the countries where they -shall_come.’
7 Therefore ssay, ‘Thus -saith 4 the =Lord 'Gop; I -will'even gather pou from the =people, and ‘assemble pou out_of the countries where ye shave_ been_scattered, and I -will_give you -the_g land_of Israél.
18 And they -shall_come thither, and they -shall_take_away «all the_detest- able_things thereof and -all the_abom- inations 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 a heart_ of flesh : ;
20 That they ‘may _ walk in My sta- tutes, and ‘keep Mine -ordinances, and ‘do them: and they «shall_be My -peo- ple, and € will_be their =God.
21 But as for them whose heart swalketh after the_heart_of their de- testable things and their abominations, I -will_recompense their way upon their_own heads, «saith Athe =Lord J Gop.”
22 Then did the cherubims lift_up their -wings, and ‘the wheels beside them; and the_glory_of the_=God_of Israél was over them above.
33 And the_glory_of the Lorp 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.
2> Then I spake unto them of_the_ captivity ~all the things that 'the Lorp
had_shewed me. 1 THE_word_of ‘the Lorp also came unto me, saying,
2 “Son_of «man, thon 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, thon son _ of «man, :pre- pare thee vstutf for_removing, and -re- move by_day in their sight; and thou
place in their sight: it-may_be they will_consider, though thep be a re- bellious house, fs
4 Then -shalt_thou_bring_forth thy
vstuff by_day in their sight, as vstuff| v.
for_removing: and thou shalt_go_ forth at xeven 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 tt upon thy -shoulders, and tearry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt_cover thy face, that thou see not «the eground : for I -have_set thee for a sign unto the_ house-_of Israél.”
7 And I did so «eas I was_command- ed: I broughtforth my vstuff by_day, as v stuff for_r captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought_it_forth in the twi- light, and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.
8 And in the morning came the_word_ of Jthe Lorp unto me, saying,
®“Son_of «man, :hath not the_house_ of Israél, the rebellious house, said unto thee, ‘What doest thou?’
10 -Say thou unto them, Thus ssaith Athe =Lord /Gop; xThis xburden con- cerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and
all the_house_of Israél that ave among} %
them. ll -Say, E am your sign: like as I shave_done, so shall it_be_done unto
them: they shall_remove and go into xcaptivity.
12 And the prince that is among them shall_bear upon his shoulder in the twi- light, and shall_go_forth: they shall_dig through the wall to carry_out thereby: he shall_cover his face, that he see not -the e 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 € am Jthe Lorp, 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 amo! the » =heathen whither they «come; an they -shall_know that £ am ‘the Lorn.”
17 Moreover the _word _ of Jthe Lorp came to me, saying,
18 “Son_of «man, teat thy bread with quaking, and ‘drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness ;
19 And ‘say unto the_-people_of the
land, Thus «saith A the =Lord Gop ‘of|,’
the_inhabitants_of Jerusalem, and ¢of the_land_of Israél ; They shall_eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may-_be_desolate from all that is there- in, because _of the _ violence _of all xsthem_that dwell therein.

21 And the_word_of ! the Lorp came unto me, saying,
= “Son_of «man, what 7s xthat verb that ye have in the_land_of Is- raél, saying, ‘The days tare_prolonged, and every vision -faileth?’
2% -Tell them therefore, Thus ‘saith Athe =Lord /Gop; I willamake xthis xproverb to_cease, and they shall no more use if as a proverb in Israél; 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 Israél.
> For £ am / the Lorp: I will_speak, and «the word that I shall_speak shall_ come_to_pass; it shall_be no more @pro- longed : for in your days, O_rebellious house, will_I_say the word, and -will_ perform it, +saith 4 fhe =Lord ! Gop.”
26 Again the_word_of ! the Lorp came
to me, saying, 27 “Son_of «man, behold, they of the_ house _of Israél +say, ‘The vision that he +seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far_off’
23 Therefore ‘say unto them, ‘Thus ssaith Athe =Lord !Gop; There shall none of My words be_¢ prolonged any_ more, but the word which I thave_ spoken shall_be done, «saith 4 the =Lord
1Gop.’” 1 AND the_word_of !the Lorp came unto me, saying,
2 “Son_of «man, -prophesy against the_prophets_of Israél x-that prophesy, and ‘say thou unto them_that_prophesy out_of their_own hearts, -Hear ye the_ word_of *the Lorp; fer. xxiii. | 3 Thus -saith 4 the =Lord ’ Gop: Woe unto the foolish xprophets, +that_follow rd |their_own spirit, and -have_seen no-

4 O_Israél, thy prophets «are like the foxes in the deserts.
5 Ye -have not gone_up into the bgaps, neither made_up the hedge for the_house_of Israél to stand in the battle in the_day_of ¥ the Lorn.
6 They -have_seen vanity and lying di- vination, «saying, ‘1 The Lorp -saith :’ and Jthe 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 shave ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye +say, ‘’ The Lorp +saith it ;’ albeit £ -have not spoken ?

10 Because, even because they -have_| 5
seduced My -people, saying, ‘Peace; and there was no peace ; and one~built_ up a owall, and, lo, others +daubed it with untempered mortar :
-i-Say unto them_which_daub #¢ with untempered mortar, that it shall_fall : there -shall_be an overflowing shower; and pe, O_great hailstones, shall_fall ; and a stormy wind shall_rend if.
© Lo, when the wall is_fallen, shall it not be_said unto you, ‘Where is the oe wherewith ye -have_daubed tt 2’
13 Therefore thus ‘saith 4the =Lord 1Gop; I -will even render 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 if.
14So -will_I_break_down -the wall that ye -have_daubed with untempered mortar, 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 E am ‘the Lorp.
15 Thus -will_I_accomplish My «wrath upon the wall, and upon them that_ shave_daubed it with untempered mor- tar, and will_say unto you, ‘The wall is no more, neither xthey_that daubed it ;” :
16To wit, the_prophets_of Israél which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and x.which see -visions_of peace for her, | and there is no peace, saith 4 the =Lord 1 Gop.
VW Likewise, thou son_of «man, ‘set| thy face against the_daughters_of thy people, xswhich prophesy out_of their_ ele heart ; and -prophesy thou against them,

20 Wherefore thus saith “4 the =Lord Gop; Behold, I am against your pil- lows, wherewith ye there thunt -the souls to make_them_fiy, and I -will_tear them from your arms, and -will_let -the souls go, even «the souls that pe +hunt to make_them_fiy.

1 THEN came certain of the_elders_ of Israél unto me, and sat before me.
2 And the_word_of Jthe Lorp came unto me, saying, 3 “Son_of «man, xthese “ xmen shaye_
|set_up their 7idols in their heart, and
put the_stumblingblock_of their iniquity before their face : should I be_inquired_ of at_all by them ?
4Therefore -speak unto them, and ‘say unto them, Thus saith 4 the =Lord + Gop ; ‘Every ‘ man_of the_house_of Is- raél that tsetteth_up his ¢ ~idols in his heart, and ‘putteth the_stumblingblock_ of his iniquity before his face, and com- eth to the prophet; £/the Lorp -will_ answer him that_cometh according_to the_multitude_of his @ idols ;
5 That I may_take -the_house_of Is- raél in their_own heart, because they sare all estranged from Me through their @ idols.
6 Therefore -say unto the_house_of Israél, Thus ‘saith 4the =Lord 4 Gop; ‘-Repent, and «turn yourselves from your @idols ; and ‘turn_away your faces from all your abominations.
7 For ‘every ‘ one of the_house-_of Is- raél, or of the stranger, that ‘sojourneth in Israél, which separateth _ himself from Me, and setteth_up his 4 idols in his heart, and putteth the_stumblingblock_ of his iniquity before his face, and com- eth to a prophet to inquire of him con- cerning Me; £ !the Lorp -will_answer him by Myself:
8 And I »will_set My face against xthat ‘xman, 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 £ am ‘the Lorp.
9 And if the prophet 'be_e deceived when he hath_spoken a thing, E ! the Lorp -have_¢ deceived xthat xprophet, and I -will_stretch_out My -hand upon him, and -will_destroy him from the_ midst_of My people Israél.
10 And they -shall_bear the_punish- ment_of_their_iniguity: the punish- ment of the prophet shall_-be even as the punishment_of x-him_that seeketh unto him ;
ll That the_house_of Israél_may_go no more astray from Me, neither tbhe_ polluted any_more with all their trans- gressions ; but that they -may_be My -people, and — may_be their =God,-saith 4 the =Lord / Gop.”
12 The_word_of J the Lorp came again to me, saying,
13 “Son_of «man, when the land tsinneth against Me by trespassing grievously, then -will_I_stretch_out
31 Mine hand upon it, and -will_break "|the _staff_ of the_bread thereof, and
-will_send famine upon it, and -will

17 Or if I ‘bring a sword upon, that xland, and ssay, ‘Sword, 'go_through

beast from it:
18 Though xthese three @xmen were in tit, as £ live, ssaith 4the =Lord 1 Gop, they shall_deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall_be_ delivered themselves.

20 Though Noah, Daniél, and Job, were in ait, as £ live, ssaith Athe =Lord ‘ Gop, they shall_deliver neither son nor daughter; thep shall_but_deliver their_ own souls by their righteousness,
21 For thus «saith Athe =Lord 4 Gop ; How much more when I send My four xsore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut_off from it «man and beast? .
2 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 Je- rusalem, even concerning rall that I -haye_brought upon it.
2 And they -shall_comfort pou, when ye 'see their -ways and their doings : and ye sshall_know that I shave not done / without_cause rall that I -have_ done in it, ssaith 4 the =Lord Gop.”
m AND the_word_of 4 the Lorp came

2 “Son_of «man, What tis the vine tree more than any. tree, or than a xbranch 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 ?

7 And -I will.set My +face against them ; they shall_go_out from one ~fire, and another xfire shall.devour them ; and ye *shall_know that £ am ‘the Lorp, when I set My ~face against them.
