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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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 watchman's hand.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Therefore, 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, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord GOD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ It came to pass also in the twelfth twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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. woods.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord GOD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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 Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
