⁵ Thus saith the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.

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

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

⁹ Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.

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

⁵ He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree.

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

⁷ And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise of his roaring.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I am the LORD your God;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands:

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 But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.

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 her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.

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

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

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

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

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

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

² Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

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 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

⁶ For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.

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

¹ Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto the LORD, an holy portion of the land: the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand reeds, and the breadth shall be ten thousand. This shall be holy in all the borders thereof round about.

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

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

³ Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.

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

¹⁴ So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

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

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

¹⁶ And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.

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

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

¹⁷ Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.

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

¹⁵ And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

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

¹⁵ If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.

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

²⁹ Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.

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

¹² But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Yet also I 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 is the glory of all lands;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴¹ I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴² And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to your fathers.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Also, thou son of man, appoint 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ The people of the land have used oppression, oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.

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

¹⁵ Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁸ Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;
