² And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.

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

³ And say, 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; Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places.

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 Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.

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

³ Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

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

¹ Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD'S house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord GOD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me.

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

⁷ For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast naked and bare.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; A great eagle with great wings, longwinged, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffick; he set it in a city of merchants.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to enquire of the LORD, and sat before me.

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 And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord GOD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.

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

¹¹ And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.

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

⁴ And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ In that day 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.

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

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

³ If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.

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

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

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

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

⁸ After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.

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

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south.

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

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

⁶ Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad; and the other threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits.

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

¹ Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was before the building toward the north.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And from under these chambers was the entry entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter court.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.

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

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

³ It is for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.

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

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

⁹ Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of that gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth over against it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his sides east and west; a portion for Dan.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.

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

²⁵ Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.

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

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

¹⁶ Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; 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 a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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 among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

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

²² 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 Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom.

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

¹³ And hath taken of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of the land:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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 trespass that he hath trespassed against me.
