³ And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?

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

⁸ And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye come to enquire of me? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.

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

² Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth the day!

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

¹⁶ Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.

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

² Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.

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

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

¹⁵ Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.

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

¹¹ And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.

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

¹³ Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them.

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

²¹ Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.

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

¹² Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites, Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ The LORD said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.

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

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

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

¹¹ And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession.
