ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And say unto the Ammonites, 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;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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: reprover: for they are a rebellious house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

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

⁶ Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the little chambers were five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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 LORD'S house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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 neighbour's wife,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.
