1 AGAIN the_word_of J the Lorp came unto me, saying,

mute thee on every_side for thy whore- ou,
8! And the contrary is in thee from other xwomen in thy whoredoms, where- as 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 Jthe Lorp:
36 Thus -saith Athe =Lord !Gop; Because thy ?filthiness was_poured_ out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the_d idols_of thy abomin- ations, and by the_=blood_of thy « chil- dren, which thou didst - give unto them ;
37 Behold, therefore I -+will_gather rall thy lovers, with whom thou shast_ taken_pleasure, and «all them that thou -hast_loved, with all them that thou shast_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.
38 And I -will also give thee into their hand, and they -shall_throw_down thine aeminent_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 com- pany against thee, and they -shall_stone thee with xstones, ‘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.
# So -will._I_make My fury toward thee to_rest, and My jealousy sshall_de- part from thee, and I -will_be_quiet, and will_be no more angry.
43 Because thou shast not remem- bered «the_days_of thy youth, but hast_ fretted Me in all these things ; behold, therefore £ also will_recompense: thy way upon thine head, +saith 4 the =Lord JGop: and thou sshalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations,
44 Behold, every _one x-+that useth_ proverbs shall_use_this_proverb against thee, saying, ‘As is the mother, so is her daughter.’
4 Thou art thy mother’s daughter, that_loatheth her husband and her schildren; and thon art the_sister_of thy sisters, which loathed their hus- bands and theirs children : your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite. :
46 And thine xelder sister 7s Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left_hand: and thy xyounger sister, xithat dwelleth at_thy_right_hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
47 Yet -hast thou not walked after their ways, nor -done after their abom- inations: but, as 7f that were a very_
{ '
Ezexrer XVI. 63 little thing, thou wast_corrupted more_} B.C. 59
than — in all thy ways $ | Sodom thy sister -hath not done, she
nor her daughters, as thou -hast_done,| 7°
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_ of the
-poor and —needy.
50 And they were_haughty, and com- mitted abomination before Me: there- fore I took them away «cas I saw good.
5. Neither hath Samaria committed xhalf_of thy sins; but thou hast_multi- plied thine -abominations more_than they, and hast_justified thy -sisters in all thine abominations which thou -hast_done.
52 Thon also, which -hast_judged thy sisters, -bear thine_own shame for thy sins that thou -hast_committed_more_ abominable than they: they tare more righteous than thou: yea, ‘be thon 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 :
5 That thou mayest_bear thine_own shame, and -mayest_be_confounded in all that thou shast_done, in that thou sart 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 thon 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_dis- covered, as at the_time_of thy reproach_ of the_daughters_of Syria, and all that are round_about her, the_daughters_of the Philistines, xtwhich despise thee round_about.

1 AND the_word_of J the Lorp came unto me, saying, 2“Son_of «man, -put_forth a riddle, gus opesk a parable unto the_house_of els
3 And «say, Thus «saith 4the =Lord
“es IGop; A great xeagle with great hovah, | *-Wings, -longwinged, full_of xfeathers,
which ‘had xdivers_colours, came unto xLebanon, and took -the _highest _ branch_of the cedar:
4 He cropped_off -the_top_of his yonse tales, and carried it into a
and_of traftick; he set it in a city_of merchants.
5 He took also of the_seed_of the land, and planted it in a / fruitful fleld ; he placed tt by great waters, and set it as a willow_tree.
6 Andit grew, and became a spreading
vine_of low stature, whose branches’
turned toward him, and the = roots thereof twere 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, xthis xvine did_bend her roots toward him, and shot_forth her branches toward him, that he might_ water it by the_furrows_of her planta- tion.
8 Et 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 4the =Lord JGop; Shall_it_prosper? shall he not
rd |pull_up -the_roots thereof, and cut_off
-the fruit thereof, that it wither? it shall_wither in all the_leaves_of her

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.”
il Moreover the_word_of Jthe Lorp came unto me, saying,
12 “-Say now to the rebellious house,
in. | Know ye not what these things mean !
«tell them, Behold, the_king_of Babylon +is_come to Jerusalem, and hath_taken ethe _king thereof, and -the_ princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon ;

16 As £ live, ssaith 4 the =Lord J Gop, surely in the place where the king dwelleth xsthat made_him_king, whose roath 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 hmake_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 Athe =Lord 1 Gop; As & 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 ie pan the epee against

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: £ am ‘the Lorp your =God.

not ‘every_man cast_away -the_abomi- nations_of their eyes, neither did_they_
forsake -the_d 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 name's sake, that it should not be_» polluted before the »=heathen, among whom thep 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 thent My judgments, which 7fa axman do at, he -shall even live in them. -
12 Moreoyer also I gave them My -sabbaths, to be a sign between Me and them, that they might_know that E am ‘the Lorp +that_sanctify them.
13 But the_house_of Israél rebelled against Me in the wilderness: they walked not in My statutes, and they despised My «judgments, which 7f a axman ‘do ,»f, he sshall even live in them; and My polluted: then I said, I would_pour_ out My fury upon them in the wilder- ness, to consume them.
14 But I wrought for My name’s sake, that it should not be_polluted before the »=heathen, in whose sight I brought_ them_out.
15 Yet also E 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 zs the_glory_of all xlands;
18 Because they despised My judg- ments, and walked not in My ~statutes, but ppolluted My -sabbaths: for their heart +went_after their @ idols.
17 Neyertheless Mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did_I_ make an end_of them in the wilder- ness.
18 But I said unto their schildren in the wilderness, ‘Walk ye not in the_sta- tutes_of your fathers, neither ‘observe their «judgments, nor ‘defile _your- selves with their ¢@ idols:

24 Because they had not executed My judgments, but had_despised My sta- tutes, and had_p polluted My -sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ d idols.
25 Wherefore £ gave them also sta- tutes that were not good, and judg- ments whereby they should not live;
26 And I p 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_deso- late, to_the_end that they might_know that € am 4 the Lorp.
2 Therefore, son _of «man, »speak unto the_house_of Israél, and «say unto them, Thus ssaith 4the =Lord 2 Gop; Yet in this your fathers shave_blas- phemed Me, in that they shave_com- mitted a trespass against Me.
28 For when I had_brought them into the land, for the which I lifted_up Mine rhand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they s«offered there their ~sacri- fices, and there they presented the_ provocation_of their «offering: there also they made their rsweet savour, and poured_out there their ?-drink_ offerings.
22 Then I said unto them, What is the high_place whereunto pe go? And the_name thereof is_called + Bamah unto «this xday,
30 Wherefore -say unto the_house_of Israél, Thus -saith Athe =Lord J Gop; Are pe 4polluted after the.manner_of your fathers? and +commit pe whore- dom after their abominations ?
31 For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to_pass_through the fire, pe +pollute _ yourselves with all your didols, even unto this day: and shall E be_inquired_of by you, O_house_ of Israél? As € live, ssaith 4 the =Lord 4 Gop, I will not be_inquired_of by you.
32 ‘And xsthat_which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that pe 4say, We will_be as the »=heathen, as the_families_of the countries, to serve wood and stone.
33 As ¥ live, ssaith 4 the =Lord! Gop, 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 pou out from the =people, and -will_gather pon out_of the countries wherein ye ‘are_scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretch- ed_out arm, and with fury poured_ out.
85 And I -will_bring pow into the_ wilderness_of the =people, and there *will_I_plead with pou face to face.
36 Like as I pleaded_with your -fa- thers in the_wilderness_of the_land_of Egypt, so will_I_plead with pou, +saith Athe =Lord Gop.

39 As_for pou, O_house_of Israél,|: thus «saith Athe =Lord !Gop; *Go ye,| 14 serve ye every_one his idols, and here- after also, if ye will not hearken unto Me: but p'pollute ye My holy "name no| J me with your gifts, and with your didols. p.
40 For in Mine holy mountain, in the_mountain_of the_height_of Israé! 4saith 4 the =Lord 4 Gop, there shall al the_house_of Israél, all of them in the land, serve Me: there will_I_accept them, and there will_I_require your 1 offerings, and -the_firstfruits_of your oblations, with all your holy_things.
41 T will_accept pou with your rsweet savour, when I bring pow out from the |”; =" =people, and «gather pow out_of the countries wherein ye have_been_scat-|_ tered ; and I -will_be_sanctified in you sigh ‘before the =heathen.
42 And ye -shall_ know that € am 3 the Lorp, when I shall_bring pow into the_land_of Israél, 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 fue doings, where- in ye -have_been_defiled ; and ye*shall_ loathe_yourselves in your_own sight for all your evils that ye -have_com- mitted.
44 And ye sshall_know that € wm ‘the Lorp; when I -have_wrought with you for My name's sake, not according to your xwicked ways, nor according_to your xcorrupt xdoings, O_ye house_of Israél, ssaith 4 the =Lord 4 Gop.”
4 Moreover the_word_of 7 the Lorp 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 ; hss
47 And «say to the_forest_of the south, ‘Hear the_word_of Jthe Lorp; Thus saith Athe =Lord %Gop; Behold, I 4will_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 € J the Lorp chave_kindled it: it shall not be_ quenched.”
49 Then said I, “Ah 4=Lord 1Gop! thep 4say of me, ‘Doth he not speak parables ?’”

6-Sigh therefore, thon son_of «man, with the_breaking of thy =loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.
7 And it -shall_be, when they 'say un- to thee,‘ Wherefore sighest thon?’ that thou -shalt_answer, ‘For the tidings ; because it cometh: and every heart -shall_melt, and all hands shall_be_ feeble, and 2a bagacion shall_faint, and all knees shall_be_weak as water: be- hold, it cometh, and -shall_be_brought_ to_pass, 4saith 4 the =Lord J Gop.”
® Again the_word_of Jthe Lorp came unto me, saying,
9“Son_of 4 man, «prophesy, and -say, Thus «saith ’ the Lorp; -Say,a sword, a — ‘is_sharpened, and also furbish-
10 Tt is_sharpened to make a sore

2 -Cry and -howl, son_of «man: for it -shall_be upon My people, it shall be upon all the_princes_of Israél : terrors by_reason_of the sword -shall_be upon My people: «smite therefore upon thy thigh.
18 Because it is a trial, and what if the sword +contemn even the rod? it shall_ be no more, saith 4 the =Lord ? Gop.
14 Thon therefore, son_of «man, pro- phesy, 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_cham-

W = will also smite Mine hands to- gether, and I -will_cause My fury to_ rest : £ 4 the Lorp shave-_said it.”
18 The_word_of 4 the Lorp came unto Ine again, saying,
19 “ Also, thon son_of 4 man, sappoint 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.

of the two «ways, to use divination: he «made his xarrows bright, he consulted with tximages, he looked in the liver.
2 At his right_hand was the divina- tion for Jerusalem, to appoint 4 cap- tains, 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. d
% 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 4the =Lord 1Gop; Because ye shave-made your iniquity to_be_remembered, inthat 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.
2 And thon, profane / wicked prince_ of Israél, whose day is_come, when ini- quity shall have an end,

5 Those that be xnear, and those that be xfar from thee, shall_mock thee, which art infamous and much vexed.
6 Behold, the _ princes _of Israél, 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 -shast_despised Mine holy_ things, and shast_profaned My -sab- baths.
9 In thee sare «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 abomin- ation with his neighbour's -wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his “daugh- ter in law ; and another in thee shath_ humbled his -sister, his father’s daugh- ter.
12 In thee have they -taken gifts to shed blood; thou shast_taken usury and increase, and thou -hast_greedily_ gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and -hast_forgotten Sle, +saith Athe =Lord 2 Gop. ’
13 Behold, therefore I -have _ smitten Mine hand at thy dishonest_gain which thou shast_made, and at thy blood which shath_been in the_midst_of thee.
14 Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be_strong, in the days that ¥ ashall_deal with thee? E Jthe Lorp shave_spoken it, and -will_do it.
15 And I -will_scatter thee among the n=heathen, and -disperse thee in the countries, and -will_consume thy filthi- ness out_of thee.
16 And thou -sshalt_’take_thine_in- heritance in thyself in the_sight_of the n=heathen, and thou -shalt _ know that E am 5 the Lorp.”
17 And the_word_of J the Lorp came unto me, saying,
318 “Son_of «man, the_house_of Israél ‘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.

2 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 i; so will _I_gather you in Mine anger and in My fury, and I -willleave you there, and -melt pon.
21 Yea, I -will_gather pou, and «blow upon you in the_fire_of My wrath, and ue sshall_be_melted in the_midst there- of,

3 And the_word_of 4the Lorp-came unto me, saying, $ssncte al oF Is'

% Then I saw that she was_defiled, that they took both one way,
14 And that she increased her whore- doms: for when she saw “men pour- trayed upon the wall, the_images_of ies Chaldeans pourtrayed with xver- mailion,
15 Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire n their heads, all of them princes to look to, after lonians_of nativity:
16 And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and ro messengers unto them into Chal-

W@ 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 ae as My mind was-_alienated from her

#2 And a voice_of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with the_ @men_of the common sort were brought dSabeans from the wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.
43 Then said I unto her that was xold in adulteries, ‘ Will they now.commit whoredoms with her, and she with them 2’
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,
4 And the righteous «men, thep shall_judge them after_the_manner_of adulteresses, and after_the:manner_of women_that_shed blood ; because thep are adulteresses, and blood 7s in their hands.
46 For thus saith Athe =Lord J Gop; I+will_bring_up a company upon them, and will_give them to be-removed and spoiled.
47 And the company sshall_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 xwomen smay-be_taught not to do after your lewdness.
49 And they sshall_recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall_bear the_sins_of your didols: and ye *shall_ know that E am athe =Lord 4 Gop.”
2 4 AGAIN in the ninth xyear, in the
tenth xmonth, in the tenth day of the month, the_word_of Jthe Lorp came unto me, saying,
2“Son_of «man, «write thee -the_ name-of the day, even of xthis -same xday: the_king_of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem xthis same xday.
8 And -utter a parable unto the re- bellious house, and ssay unto them, Thus -saith 4 the =Lord ! Gop; -Set_on a xpot, -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 2é with the choice bones.
5 Take the_choice_of the: flock, and p-burn also the bones under it, and -make it boil well, and «let them seethe the_bones_of it therein.
Ezexiet XXIV. !
6 Wherefore thus ssaith Athe =Lord| B.C. 5! ‘Gop; Woe to the bloody city, to the} \> pot whose scum 7s 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| Je) 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 Athe =Lord 3 Gop; Woe to the bloody city! £ will even make the pile_for_fire great.
10 -Heap_on x=wood, ‘kindle the fire, m 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_filthi- ness_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: be- cause I shave_purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be_ purged from thy filthiness any_more, be I-have_caused My -fury to rest upon thee. ‘
14 — ‘the Lorp shave_spoken it: it 4shall_come_to_pass, and I -will_do %t ; I will not go_back, neither will_I_spare, neither will_I_repent ; according_to thy ways, and according_to thy ae ‘shall _they _judge thee, saith At =Lord J Gop.”
1 Also the_word_of 4 the Lorp eame 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 teat not the_bread_of men.”
18 So I spake unto the -people in the morning: ana at xeven my wife died ; and I did in the morning «cas I was_ commanded.
19 And the -people said unto me, “Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thon doest so?”
20 Then I answered them, “The_word_ of J the Lorp came unto me, saying,

18 Thou shast_defiled thy sanctuaries by the_multitude_of thine iniqui-

IN the tenth xyear, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the_word_of J the Lorp came
unto me, saying, E 2 “Son_of «man, set thy face against Pharaoh king_of Egypt, and -prophesy
against him, and against all Egypt: 3 Speak, and -say, Thus -saith 4 the
= =Lord JGop; Behold, I am against
thee, Pharaoh king_of t, the great xdragon x+that lieth in the_midst_of his rivers, which -hath_said, ‘My river is mine_own, and £ -have_made i¢ for myself.”
+ 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_leaye thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and «all the_fish_of thy rivers; thou shalt_fall upon the f open fields ; thoushalt not be_brought_ together, nor gathered: I -have_given thee for meat to the_beasts_of the field and to the_fowls_of the =heayen.
6 And all the_inhabitants_of Egypt -shall_know that £ am ‘the Lorp, be- cause they -have_been a staff_of reed to the_house_of Israél.
7 When they took_hold of thee by thy hand, thou.'didst_break, and -rend all their shoulder: and. when they leaned upon thee, thou ‘brakest, and *madest all their=loins to be_at_a_stand.
8 Therefore thus -saith Athe =Lord 1 Gop; Behold, I -will_bring a sword upon thee, and -cut_off «man and beast out_of thee.
9 And the_land_of Egypt -shall_be desolate and waste; and they -shall_ know that £ am ‘the Lorp: because he -hath_said, ‘The river is mine, and ¥ -have_made it.’
10 Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I -will_ make -the_land_of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the_tower_of Syene eyen 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.
122 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.
13 Yet thus ‘saith 4 the =Lord J Gop; At the_end of forty years will_I.gather -theEgyptians from the =people whither
. |they were_scattered :
14 And I -will_bring_again -the_cap- tivity_of Egypt, and -will_cause them to_return into the_land_of Pathros, into the_land_of their » habitation; ae they «shall_be there a ! base king-
om.
45 It shall_be the lo basest of the king- doms ; neither shall_it_exalt_itself any_ more above the nations: for I -will_ diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.
EzrexKIEL XXX. 10.
16 And it shall_be no more the_confi- dence_of the_house_of Israél, +which_ bringeth their iniquity to_remem-
brance, when they shall_look after
them: but they -shall_know that € am Athe =Lord J Gop.”
17 And it came_to_pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the_word_ of ‘the Lorp came unto me, saying,
18 “Son_of aman, Nebuchadrezzar king_of Babylon caused his army to_ serve a 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 :
19 Therefore thus -saith 4the =Lord 1 Gop:; Behold, I will_give -the_land_ of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king_of Babylon; and he -shall_take her multi- tude, and -take her spoil, and -take her prey ; and it -shall_be the wages for his army.
2 I -haye_given him «the_land_of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for Me, «saith 4 the =Lord J Gop.
21 In xthat xday will_I_cause the_ horn_of the_house_of Israél to_bud_ forth, and I will_give thee the_opening_ of the mouth in the_midst_of them; and they -shall_know that E am ‘the
RD.”
THE_word_of 4 the Lorp came again unto me, saying,
2 “Son_of «man, -prophesy and ssay, Thus -saith 4 the =Lord JGop; -Howl_ ye, Woe_worth the day!
3 For the day is near, even the_day_ of ‘the Lorp ts near, a cloudy day; it shall_be the_time_of the »=heathen.
4 And the sword -shall_come upon Egypt, and: great_pain -shall_be in c Ethiopia, when the slain shall_fall in Egypt, and ae *shall_take_away her multitude, and her foundations -shall_ be_broken_down.
5 ¢ Ethiopia, and p Libya, and? Lydia, and all the mingled_people, and Chub, and the_smen_of the land that is_in_ league, shall_fall with them by the sword. ?
6 Thus «saith ‘the Lorp; They_also_ that_uphold Egypt -shall_fall ; and the_ pride_of her power -shall_come_down : from ™ the_tower_of Syene shall_they_ fll in it by the sword, -saith 4 the =Lord
OD.
7 And they -shall_be_desolate in the_ midst_of the countries that are deso- late, and her cities shall_be in the_ midst_of the eities that are wasted.
8 And they -shall_know that E am Ithe Lorp, when I -have_set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers -shall_ be_destroyed. _
9 In xthat xday shall messengers go_ forth from Me in ships to make -the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great_ pain -shall_come upon them, as in the_ day_of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.
10 Thus -saith Athe =Lord JGop; I -will also make -the_multitude_of Egypt to_cease by the_hand_of Nebuchadrez- zar king_of Babylon,

19 Thus «will_I_execute judgments in Egypt: and they -shall_know that E am J the Lorn.”
20 And it came_to_pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the_word_of J the LorD came unto me, saying,
21“Son_of aman, I shave_broken -the_arm_of Pharaoh king_of Egypt;
jand, lo, it shall not be_bound_up to be_

2% And I -will_scatter -the Egyptians among the nations, and -will_disperse them through the countries.

ee Egypt, and to his multi- ude ; B Whom *art thou like in thy great-
ness ? 3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in xLebanon
With fair branches, and with a shadowing /shroud, and of a high stature ;
And his top was among the thick_ boughs.
4 The waters made_him_great,
The deep set_him_up_on_high with her rivers running round_about his plants,
And sent_out her -little_rivers unto all the_trees_of the field.
5 Therefcre 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 x=heaven made_ their_nests in his ea
And under his branches did all the_ beasts_of the field bring_forth their Aide
And under 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 cfir_trees were not like his boughs,
And the chesnut_trees were not like his branches ; :
Nor any tree in the _ garden _of =God was_like unto him in his beauty.
9I -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 4the =Lord JGop; ©
Because thou -hast_lifted_up_thy-

Andhe hath_shot_up his top among} re

And his heart «is_lifted_up in his height ;
11 T 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 lwickedness.
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_s rivers_of the land ;
And all the_=people_of the earth are_gone_down from his shadow, and have_left him.

21 And it came_to_pass in the twelfth year ofour 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.”
2 Now the_hand_of ‘the Lorp was upon me in the evening, afore he that_ was.escaped came; and had_opened
EzexKIeEL XXXIV. 4:
my «mouth, until he came to mein the morning ; and my mouth was_opened, and I was no more dumb.
2% Then the_word_of /the Lorp came unto me, saying,
24 “Son_of aman, they_that_inhabit xthose xwastes_of the_gland_of Israél 4speak, saying, ‘Abraham was one, and he inherited -the land: but we are many ; the land is_given us for inherit- ance.
2 Wherefore -say unto them, Thus saith Athe =Lord JGop; Ye teat with the blood, and ‘lift_up your eyes toward your idols, and ‘shed blood; and tshall_ye_possess the land ?
26 Ye «stand upon your sword, ye -work abomination, and ye -defile every_one his neighbour’s «wife: and shall_ye_ possess the land ?
27 Say thou thus unto them, Thus ssaith Athe =Lord JGop; As live, surely they_that are in the wastes shall_ fall by the sword, and him that 7s 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.
23 For I -will_lay -the land most desolate, and the_pomp-of her strength «shall_cease ; and the_mountains_of Is- raél-shall_be_desolate,that none -shall_ pass_through.
29 Then -shall_they_know that £ am
‘ the Lorn, when I -have_laid «the land most desolate because of all #heir abominations which they -haye.com- mnitted. . 30 Also, thew son_of «man, the_s ehil- dren_of thy people x-still_are_talking against thee by the walls and in the_ e doors_of the houses, and -speak one to another, every_one «to his brother, saying, ‘-Come, I_pray_you, and shear what is the xword xthat_cometh forth from /«the Lorb,

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:
ea, My flock was_scattered upon all the_face_of the earth, and none «did_ search or +seek after them.
7 Therefore, ye shepherds, shear -the_ word_of / the LorpD;
8 As & live, ssaith Athe =Lord 1 Gop, 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 eflock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not My «flock ;
®° Therefore, O_ye shepherds, shear the_word_of / the Lorn ;
10 Thus ssaith 4 the =Lord 4 Gop; Be- hold, I am against the shepherds; and I -will_require My 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 athe =Lord ’ Gop; Beh@ld, I, even £, -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 xplaces 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 Israél by the srivers, and in all the inhabited _places of the country.
14] will_feed thent in a good pasture, and upon the_high mountains_of Israél shall their fold be: there shall_they_lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall_they_feed upon the_mountains_ of IsraéL .
15 will_feed My flock, and £ will_ cause_them_to_lie_down, -saith Athe =Lord J Gop.
16 T will_seek -that xswhich was_lost, and bring_again «that ~:which was_ driven_away, and will_bind_up that which was xbroken, and will_strengthen «that which was_sick: but I will_destroy the fat and them with judgment.
W And as for pou, O_My flock, thus saith Athe =Lord ‘Gop; Behold, I sjudge between cattle and cattle, be- tween the rams and the he_goats.
18 Seemeth it a small_thing unto you to thave_eaten_up the good xpasture, but ye *must_tread_down with your feet the_residue_of your pastures? and to thave_drunk of the deep waters, but ye *must_foul -the residue with your feet?
19 And as for My flock, they teat that_

which_ye_haye_trodden with your feet ; and they ‘drink that-which_ye_haye_ fouled with your feet.
20 Therefore thus *saith 4 the =Lord 5Gop unto them; Behold, I, even £, -will_judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle. re 21 Because ye thave_thrust with side and with shoulder, and tpushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye -have_ scattered them abroad ;
22 Therefore -will_I_save My flock, and psf shall no more be a prey; and I -will_judge between cattle and cattle.
2 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 € J the Lorp will_be their =God, | s. and My servant David a prince among them; ¥ the Lorp shave_spoken 7t.
2 And I -will.cmake with them a covenant_of peace, and -will_cause the evil beasts to_cease out_of the land: a and they -shall_dwell cosafely in the} o¢ wilderness, and «sleep in the woods.
2 And I will.make them and the places_round_about My hill a blessing ; and I -will_cause the shower to_comie_ down in. his season; there shall_be showers_of blessing.
2% And the_tree_ofthe field -shall_yield her -fruit, and the earth shall_yield her increase, and they -shall_be co safe in their land, and -shall_know that £ am ‘the Lorp, when I -have_broken -the_bands_of their yoke, and -delivered them out_of the_hand_of x+those_that served_themselves of them.
28 And they shall no more bea prey to the » =heathen, neither shall the_beast_ of the land devour them; but they sshall_dwell co safely, and none 4shall_ make_them_afraid.
22 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 n=heathen any_more.

8 And I -will_fill his “mountains with his =slain men : in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy srivers, shall_ they _ fall that -are_slain with the sword.
$I will_make thee perpetual desola- tions, and thy cities shall not Y return: and ye -shall_know that E am ?the Lorp.
10 Because thou -hast_said,‘-These two xnations and these two xcountries shall_be mine, and we -will_possess it;’ whereas 4 the Lorp was there:
‘the Lorp, and that I -have_heard all thy blasphemies which thou -hast_ spoken against the_mountains_of Israél, saying, ‘They -are_laid_desolate, they *are_given us to consume,

- 1 As thou didst_rejoice at the_inherit- ance_of the_house_of Israél, because it was_desolate, so will_I_do unto thee: thou shalt_be desolate, O_mount Seir, and all ¢Idumea, even all of it: and they *shall_know that £ am ! the Lorp.
36 “ALSO, then son_of «man, -pro-
phesy unto the_mountains_of Israel, and -say, Ye mountains_of Israél, shear the_word_of J the Lorp:
2 Thus ssaith 4 the =Lord J Gop ; Be- cause the enemy shath_said against you, “Aha, even the ancient high_places «are ours in possession :’
3 Therefore -prophesy and ssay, Thus *saith 4 the =Lord J Gop; Because ne they -have_made_you_desolate, and -swallow- ed pou upon every_side, that ye -might_ be a possession unto the_residue_of the n =heathen, and ye are_taken_up in the_ lips_of talkers, and are an infamy_of the -people:
4 Therefore, ye mountains_of Israél, shear the_word_of 4the =Lord J Gop; Thus -saith Athe =Lord J Gop to the mountains, and to the hills, to the srivers, and to the valleys, to the deso- late wastes, and to the cities that are_forsaken, which became a prey and derision_to the_residue_of the n=heathen that are round_about ;
® Therefore thus -saith Athe =Lord 4 Gop; Surely in the_fire_of My jealousy shave_I_spoken against the_residue_of the »=heathen, and against alle Idumea,

their possession with the_joy_of all their heart, with despiteful so minds, to cast_it_out for a prey.
6 -Prophesy therefore concerning the_land_of Israél, and «say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the srivers, and to the valleys, Thus -saith Athe =Lord !Gop; Behold, I -haye_ spoken in My jealousy and in My fury, because ye -have_borne the_shame_of the »=heathen :
7 Therefore thus -saith Athe =Lord Gop; & -have_lifted_up Mine -hand, Surely the »=heathen that are about | you, thep shall_bear their shame, |
§ But pe, O_mountains_of Israél, ye shall_shoot_forth your branches, and/| yield your fruit to My -people_of Israél ; for they -are_at_hand to come.
9 For, behold, I am for you, and I -will_turn unto you, and ye -shall_be_ tilled and -sown :
10 And I -will_multiply «men upon you, all the_house_of Israél, even all_ of_it : and the cities »shall_be_inhabited, | and the wastes shall_be_builded :
1 And I -will_ multiply upon you aman and beast; and they -shall_in- crease and -bring_fruit: and I -will_ settle pow after your fold _ estates, and| will_do_better unto you than at your beginnings : and ye -shall_know that = am ‘the Lorp.
12 Yea, I spill conse ous 0 wake upon you, even “My -people Israél ; and they -shall_possess thee, and thou sshalt_be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of men.

19 And I scattered them among the n=heathen, and they were_dispersed through the countries: according_to their way and according-to their doings I judged them.
