: Ezekiel 1

 : 1 .  Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the thirtieth <7970 sh@lowshiym > year <8141 shaneh > ,  in the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy >  [ month ]  ,  in the fifth <2568 chamesh >  [ day ]  of the month <2320 chodesh > ,  as I  [ was ]  among <8432 tavek > the captives <1473 gowlah > by the river <5104 nahar > of Chebar <3529 K@bar > ,   [ that ]  the heavens <8064 shamayim > were opened <6605 pathach > ,  and I saw <7200 ra>ah > visions <4759 mar>ah > of God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 2 In the fifth <2568 chamesh >  [ day ]  of the month <2320 chodesh > ,  which <1958 hiy >  [ was ]  the fifth <2549 chamiyshiy > year <8141 shaneh > of king <4428 melek > Jehoiachin s <3112 Yowyakiyn > captivity <1546 galuwth > ,

 : 3 The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > expressly unto Ezekiel <3168 Y@chezqe>l > the priest <3548 kohen > ,  the son <1121 ben > of Buzi <0941 Buwziy > ,  in the land <0776 >erets > of the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > by the river <5104 nahar > Chebar <3529 K@bar > ;  and the hand <3027 yad > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was there <8033 sham > upon him .

 : 4 .  And I looked <7200 ra>ah > ,  and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  a whirlwind came <0935 bow> > out of the north <6828 tsaphown > ,  a great <1419 gadowl > cloud <6051 <anan > ,  and a fire <0784 >esh > infolding <3947 laqach > itself ,  and a brightness <5051 nogahh >  [ was ]  about <5439 cabiyb > it ,  and out of the midst <8432 tavek > thereof as the colour <5869 <ayin > of amber <2830 chashmal > ,  out of the midst <8432 tavek > of the fire <0784 >esh > .

 : 5 Also out of the midst <8432 tavek > thereof  [ came ]  the likeness <1823 d@muwth > of four <0702 >arba< > living <2416 chay > creatures <2416 chay > .  And this <2088 zeh >  [ was ]  their appearance <4758 mar>eh > ;  they had the likeness <1823 d@muwth > of a man <0120 >adam > .

 : 6 And every one <0259 >echad > had four <0702 >arba< > faces <6440 paniym > ,  and every one <0259 >echad > had four <0702 >arba< > wings <3671 kanaph > .

 : 7 And their feet <7272 regel >  [ were ]  straight <3474 yashar > feet <7272 regel > ;  and the sole <3709 kaph > of their feet <7272 regel >  [ was ]  like the sole <3709 kaph > of a calf s <5695 <egel > foot <7272 regel > : and they sparkled <5340 natsats > like the colour <5869 <ayin > of burnished <7044 qalal > brass <5178 n@chosheth > .

 : 8 And  [ they had ]  the hands <3027 yad > of a man <0120 >adam > under <8478 tachath > their wings <3671 kanaph > on <5921 <al > their four <0702 >arba< > sides <7253 reba< > ;  and they four <0702 >arba< > had their faces <6440 paniym > and their wings <3671 kanaph > .

 : 9 Their wings <3671 kanaph >  [ were ]  joined <2266 chabar > one <0802 >ishshah > to another <0269 >achowth > ;  they turned <5437 cabab > not when they went <3212 yalak > ;  they went <3212 yalak > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > straight <5676 <eber > forward <6440 paniym > .

 : 10 As for the likeness <1823 d@muwth > of their faces <6440 paniym > ,  they four <0702 >arba< > had the face <6440 paniym > of a man <0120 >adam > ,  and the face <6440 paniym > of a lion <0738 >ariy > ,  on <0413 >el > the right <3225 yamiyn > side <3225 yamiyn > : and they four <0702 >arba< > had the face <6440 paniym > of an ox <7794 showr > on the left <8040 s@mo>wl > side <8040 s@mo>wl > ;  they four <0702 >arba< > also had the face <6440 paniym > of an eagle <5404 nesher > .

 : 11 Thus  [ were ]  their faces <6440 paniym > : and their wings <3671 kanaph >  [ were ]  stretched <6504 parad > upward <4605 ma<al > ;  two <8147 sh@nayim >  [ wings ]  of every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh >  [ were ]  joined <2266 chabar > one <0376 >iysh > to another <0376 >iysh > ,  and two <8147 sh@nayim > covered <3680 kacah > their bodies <1472 g@viyah > .

 : 12 And they went <3212 yalak > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > straight <5676 <eber > forward <6440 paniym > : whither the spirit <7307 ruwach > was to go <3212 yalak > ,  they went <3212 yalak > ;   [ and ]  they turned <5437 cabab > not when they went <3212 yalak > .

 : 13 As for the likeness <1823 d@muwth > of the living <2416 chay > creatures <2416 chay > ,  their appearance <4758 mar>eh >  [ was ]  like burning <1197 ba<ar > coals <1513 gechel > of fire <0784 >esh > ,   [ and ]  like the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of lamps <3940 lappiyd > : it went <1980 halak > up and down among <0996 beyn > the living <2416 chay > creatures <2416 chay > ;  and the fire <0784 >esh > was bright <5051 nogahh > ,  and out of the fire <0784 >esh > went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > lightning <1300 baraq > .

 : 14 And the living <2416 chay > creatures <2416 chay > ran <7519 ratsa> > and returned <7725 shuwb > as the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of a flash <0965 bazaq > of lightning <0965 bazaq > .

 : 15 .  Now as I beheld <7200 ra>ah > the living <2416 chay > creatures <2416 chay > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > one <0259 >echad > wheel <0212 >owphan > upon the earth <0776 >erets > by the living <2416 chay > creatures <2416 chay > ,  with his four <0702 >arba< > faces <6440 paniym > .

 : 16 The appearance <4758 mar>eh > of the wheels <0212 >owphan > and their work <4639 ma<aseh >  [ was ]  like unto the colour <5869 <ayin > of a beryl <8658 tarshiysh > : and they four <0702 >arba< > had one <0259 >echad > likeness <1823 d@muwth > : and their appearance <4758 mar>eh > and their work <4639 ma<aseh >  [ was ]  as it were a wheel <0212 >owphan > in the middle <8432 tavek > of a wheel <0212 >owphan > .

 : 17 When they went <3212 yalak > ,  they went <3212 yalak > upon their four <0702 >arba< > sides <7253 reba< > :  [ and ]  they turned <5437 cabab > not when they went <3212 yalak > .

 : 18 As for their rings <1354 gab > ,  they were so high <1362 gabahh > that they were dreadful <3374 yir>ah > ;  and their rings <1354 gab >  [ were ]  full <4392 male> > of eyes <5869 <ayin > round <5439 cabiyb > about them four <0702 >arba< > .

 : 19 And when the living <2416 chay > creatures <2416 chay > went <3212 yalak > ,  the wheels <0212 >owphan > went <3212 yalak > by them : and when the living <2416 chay > creatures <2416 chay > were lifted <5375 nasa> > up from the earth <0776 >erets > ,  the wheels <0212 >owphan > were lifted <5375 nasa> > up .

 : 20 Whithersoever the spirit <7307 ruwach > was to go <3212 yalak > ,  they went <3212 yalak > ,  thither <8033 sham >  [ was their ]  spirit <7307 ruwach > to go <3212 yalak > ;  and the wheels <0212 >owphan > were lifted <5375 nasa> > up over <5980 <ummah > against <5980 <ummah > them : for the spirit <7307 ruwach > of the living <2416 chay > creature <2416 chay >  [ was ]  in the wheels <0212 >owphan > .

 : 21 When those went <3212 yalak > ,   [ these ]  went <3212 yalak > ;  and when those stood <5975 <amad > ,   [ these ]  stood <5975 <amad > ;  and when those were lifted <5375 nasa> > up from the earth <0776 >erets > ,  the wheels <0212 >owphan > were lifted <5375 nasa> > up over <5980 <ummah > against <5980 <ummah > them : for the spirit <7307 ruwach > of the living <2416 chay > creature <2416 chay >  [ was ]  in the wheels <0212 >owphan > .

 : 22 And the likeness <1823 d@muwth > of the firmament <7549 raqiya< > upon the heads <7218 ro>sh > of the living <2416 chay > creature <2416 chay >  [ was ]  as the colour <5869 <ayin > of the terrible <3372 yare> > crystal <7140 qerach > ,  stretched <5186 natah > forth over <5921 <al > their heads <7218 ro>sh > above <4605 ma<al > .

 : 23 And under <8478 tachath > the firmament <7549 raqiya< >  [ were ]  their wings <3671 kanaph > straight <3474 yashar > ,  the one <0802 >ishshah > toward <0413 >el > the other <0269 >achowth > : every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > had two <8147 sh@nayim > ,  which covered <3680 kacah > on this <2007 hennah > side ,  and every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > had two <8147 sh@nayim > ,  which covered <3680 kacah > on that side ,  their bodies <1472 g@viyah > .

 : 24 And when they went <3212 yalak > ,  I heard <8085 shama< > the noise <6963 qowl > of their wings <3671 kanaph > ,  like the noise <6963 qowl > of great <7227 rab > waters <4325 mayim > ,  as the voice <6963 qowl > of the Almighty <7706 Shadday > ,  the voice <6963 qowl > of speech <1999 hamullah > ,  as the noise <6963 qowl > of an host <4264 machaneh > : when they stood <5975 <amad > ,  they let <7503 raphah > down <7503 raphah > their wings <3671 kanaph > .

 : 25 And there was a voice <6963 qowl > from the firmament <7549 raqiya< > that  [ was ]  over <5921 <al > their heads <7218 ro>sh > ,  when they stood <5975 <amad > ,   [ and ]  had let <7503 raphah > down <7503 raphah > their wings <3671 kanaph > .

 : 26 .  And above <4605 ma<al > the firmament <7549 raqiya< > that  [ was ]  over <5921 <al > their heads <7218 ro>sh >  [ was ]  the likeness <1823 d@muwth > of a throne <3678 kicce> > ,  as the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of a sapphire <5601 cappiyr > stone <68> : and upon the likeness <1823 d@muwth > of the throne <3678 kicce> >  [ was ]  the likeness <1823 d@muwth > as the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of a man <0120 >adam > above <4605 ma<al > upon it .

 : 27 And I saw <7200 ra>ah > as the colour <5869 <ayin > of amber <2830 chashmal > ,  as the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of fire <0784 >esh > round <5439 cabiyb > about within <1004 bayith > it ,  from the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of his loins <4975 mothen > even upward <4605 ma<al > ,  and from the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of his loins <4975 mothen > even downward <4295 mattah > ,  I saw <7200 ra>ah > as it were the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of fire <0784 >esh > ,  and it had brightness <5051 nogahh > round <5439 cabiyb > about .

 : 28 As the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of the bow <7198 qesheth > that is in the cloud <6051 <anan > in the day <3117 yowm > of rain <1653 geshem > ,  so <3651 ken >  [ was ]  the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of the brightness <5051 nogahh > round <5439 cabiyb > about .  This <1931 huw> >  [ was ]  the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of the likeness <1823 d@muwth > of the glory <3519 kabowd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .  And when I saw <7200 ra>ah >  [ it ]  ,  I fell <5307 naphal > upon my face <6440 paniym > ,  and I heard <8085 shama< > a voice <6963 qowl > of one that spake <1696 dabar > .

 : Ezekiel 2

 : 1 .  And he said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  stand <5975 <amad > upon thy feet <7272 regel > ,  and I will speak <1696 dabar > unto thee .

 : 2 And the spirit <7307 ruwach > entered <0935 bow> > into me when <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > unto me ,  and set <5975 <amad > me upon my feet <7272 regel > ,  that I heard <8085 shama< > him that spake <1696 dabar > unto me .

 : 3 And he said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  I send <7971 shalach > thee to the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  to a rebellious <4775 marad > nation <1471 gowy > that hath rebelled <4775 marad > against me : they and their fathers <1> have transgressed <6586 pasha< > against me ,   [ even ]  unto this <2088 zeh > very <6106 <etsem > day <3117 yowm > .

 : 4 For  [ they are ]  impudent children <1121 ben > and stiffhearted .  I do send <7971 shalach > thee unto them ;  and thou shalt say <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : 5 And they ,  whether <0518 >im > they will hear <8085 shama< > ,  or whether <0518 >im > they will forbear <2308 chadal > ,   ( for they  [ are ]  a rebellious <4805 m@riy > house <1004 bayith > ,  )  yet shall know <3045 yada< > that there hath been <1961 hayah > a prophet <5030 nabiy> > among <8432 tavek > them .

 : 6 .  And thou ,  son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  be not afraid <3372 yare> > of them ,  neither <0408 >al > be afraid <3372 yare> > of their words <1697 dabar > ,  though <3588 kiy > briers <5621 carab > and thorns <5544 cillown >  [ be ]  with thee ,  and thou dost dwell <3427 yashab > among <0413 >el > scorpions <6137 <aqrab > : be not afraid <3372 yare> > of their words <1697 dabar > ,  nor <0408 >al > be dismayed <2865 chathath > at their looks <6400 pelach > ,  though <3588 kiy > they  [ be ]  a rebellious <4805 m@riy > house .

 : 7 And thou shalt speak <1696 dabar > my words <1697 dabar > unto them ,  whether <0518 >im > they will hear <8085 shama< > ,  or whether <0518 >im > they will forbear <2308 chadal > : for they  [ are ]  most rebellious <4805 m@riy > .

 : 8 But thou ,  son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  hear <8085 shama< > what I say <1696 dabar > unto thee ;  Be not thou rebellious <4805 m@riy > like that rebellious <4805 m@riy > house <1004 bayith > : open <6475 patsah > thy mouth <6310 peh > ,  and eat <0398 >akal > that I give <5414 nathan > thee .

 : 9 And when I looked <7200 ra>ah > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  an hand <3027 yad >  [ was ]  sent <7971 shalach > unto me ;  and ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,  a roll <4040 m@gillah > of a book <5612 cepher >  [ was ]  therein ;

 : 10 And he spread <6566 paras > it before <6440 paniym > me ;  and it  [ was ]  written <3789 kathab > within <6440 paniym > and without <0268 >achowr > : and  [ there was ]  written <3789 kathab > therein <0413 >el > lamentations <7015 qiynah > ,  and mourning <1899 hegeh > ,  and woe <1958 hiy > .

 : Ezekiel 3

 : 1 .  Moreover he said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  eat <0398 >akal > that thou findest <4672 matsa> > ;  eat <0398 >akal > this <2063 zo>th > roll <4040 m@gillah > ,  and go <3212 yalak > speak <1696 dabar > unto the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 2 So I opened <6605 pathach > my mouth <6310 peh > ,  and he caused me to eat <0398 >akal > that roll <4040 m@gillah > .

 : 3 And he said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  cause thy belly <0990 beten > to eat <0398 >akal > ,  and fill <4390 male> > thy bowels <4578 me<ah > with this <2063 zo>th > roll <4040 m@gillah > that I give <5414 nathan > thee .  Then did I eat <0398 >akal >  [ it ]  ;  and it was in my mouth <6310 peh > as honey <1706 d@bash > for sweetness <4966 mathowq > .

 : 4 And he said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  go <3212 yalak > ,  get <0935 bow> > thee unto the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and speak <1696 dabar > with my words <1697 dabar > unto them .

 : 5 For thou  [ art ]  not sent <7971 shalach > to a people <5971 <am > of a strange <6012 <ameq > speech <8193 saphah > and of an hard <3515 kabed > language <3956 lashown > ,   [ but ]  to the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;

 : 6 Not to many <7227 rab > people <5971 <am > of a strange <6012 <ameq > speech <8193 saphah > and of an hard <3515 kabed > language <3956 lashown > ,  whose <0834 >aher > words <1697 dabar > thou canst not understand <8085 shama< > .  Surely ,  had I sent <7971 shalach > thee to them ,  they would have hearkened <8085 shama< > unto thee .

 : 7 But the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > will <14> not hearken <8085 shama< > unto thee ;  for they will <14> not hearken <8085 shama< > unto me : for all <3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >  [ are ]  impudent and hardhearted .

 : 8 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  I have made <5414 nathan > thy face <6440 paniym > strong <2389 chazaq > against <5980 <ummah > their faces <6440 paniym > ,  and thy forehead <4696 metsach > strong <2389 chazaq > against <5980 <ummah > their foreheads <4696 metsach > .

 : 9 As an adamant <8068 shamiyr > harder <2389 chazaq > than flint <6864 tsor > have I made <5414 nathan > thy forehead <4696 metsach > : fear <3372 yare> > them not ,  neither <3808 lo> > be dismayed <2865 chathath > at their looks <6400 pelach > ,  though they  [ be ]  a rebellious <4805 m@riy > house <1004 bayith > .

 : 10 Moreover he said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  all <3605 kol > my words <1697 dabar > that I shall speak <1696 dabar > unto thee receive <3947 laqach > in thine heart <3824 lebab > ,  and hear <8085 shama< > with thine ears <0241 >ozen > .

 : 11 And go <3212 yalak > ,  get <0935 bow> > thee to them of the captivity <1473 gowlah > ,  unto the children <1121 ben > of thy people <5971 <am > ,  and speak <1696 dabar > unto them ,  and tell <0559 >amar > them ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  whether <0518 >im > they will hear <8085 shama< > ,  or whether <0518 >im > they will forbear <2308 chadal > .

 : 12 Then the spirit <7307 ruwach > took <5375 nasa> > me up ,  and I heard <8085 shama< > behind <0310 >achar > me a voice <6963 qowl > of a great <1419 gadowl > rushing <7494 ra<ash > ,   [ saying ]  ,  Blessed <1288 barak >  [ be ]  the glory <3519 kabowd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > from his place <4725 maqowm > .

 : 13  [ I heard ]  also the noise <6963 qowl > of the wings <3671 kanaph > of the living <2416 chay > creatures <2416 chay > that touched <5401 nashaq > one <0802 >ishshah > another <0269 >achowth > ,  and the noise <6963 qowl > of the wheels <0212 >owphan > over <5980 <ummah > against <5980 <ummah > them ,  and a noise <6963 qowl > of a great <1419 gadowl > rushing <7494 ra<ash > .

 : 14 So the spirit <7307 ruwach > lifted <5375 nasa> > me up ,  and took <3947 laqach > me away ,  and I went <3212 yalak > in bitterness <4751 mar > ,  in the heat <2534 chemah > of my spirit <7307 ruwach > ;  but the hand <3027 yad > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was strong <2388 chazaq > upon me .

 : 15 Then I came <0935 bow> > to them of the captivity <1473 gowlah > at Telabib <8512 Tel >Abiyb > ,  that dwelt <3427 yashab > by the river <5104 nahar > of Chebar <3529 K@bar > ,  and I sat <3427 yashab > where <8033 sham > they sat <3427 yashab > ,  and remained <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham > astonished <8074 shamem > among <8432 tavek > them seven <7651 sheba< > days <3117 yowm > .

 : 16 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the end <7097 qatseh > of seven <7651 sheba< > days <3117 yowm > ,  that the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 17 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  I have made <5414 nathan > thee a watchman <6822 tsaphah > unto the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : therefore hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar > at my mouth <6310 peh > ,  and give them warning <2094 zahar > from me .

 : 18 When I say <0559 >amar > unto the wicked <7563 rasha< > ,  Thou shalt surely die <4191 muwth > ;  and thou givest him not warning <2094 zahar > ,  nor <3808 lo> > speakest <1696 dabar > to warn <2094 zahar > the wicked <7563 rasha< > from his wicked <7563 rasha< > way <1870 derek > ,  to save <2421 chayah > his life <2421 chayah > ;  the same <1931 huw> > wicked <7563 rasha< >  [ man ]  shall die <4191 muwth > in his iniquity <5771 <avon > ;  but his blood <1818 dam > will I require <1245 baqash > at thine hand <3027 yad > .

 : 19 Yet if <3588 kiy > thou warn <2094 zahar > the wicked <7563 rasha< > ,  and he turn <7725 shuwb > not from his wickedness <7562 resha< > ,  nor from his wicked <7563 rasha< > way <1870 derek > ,  he shall die <4191 muwth > in his iniquity <5771 <avon > ;  but thou hast delivered <5337 natsal > thy soul <5315 nephesh > .

 : 20 Again <7725 shuwb > ,  When a righteous <6662 tsaddiyq >  [ man ]  doth turn <7725 shuwb > from his righteousness <6664 tsedeq > ,  and commit <6213 <asah > iniquity <5766 <evel > ,  and I lay <5414 nathan > a stumblingblock <4383 mikshowl > before <6440 paniym > him ,  he shall die <4191 muwth > : because <3588 kiy > thou hast not given him warning <2094 zahar > ,  he shall die <4191 muwth > in his sin <2403 chatta>ah > ,  and his righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > which <0834 >aher > he hath done <6213 <asah > shall not be remembered <2142 zakar > ;  but his blood <1818 dam > will I require <1245 baqash > at thine hand <3027 yad > .

 : 21 Nevertheless if <3588 kiy > thou warn <2094 zahar > the righteous <6662 tsaddiyq >  [ man ]  ,  that the righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > sin <2398 chata> > not ,  and he doth not sin <2398 chata> > ,  he shall surely live <2421 chayah > ,  because <3588 kiy > he is warned <2094 zahar > ;  also thou hast delivered <5337 natsal > thy soul <5315 nephesh > .

 : 22 .  And the hand <3027 yad > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was there <8033 sham > upon me ;  and he said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Arise <6965 quwm > ,  go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > into <0413 >el > the plain <1237 biq<ah > ,  and I will there <8033 sham > talk <1696 dabar > with thee .

 : 23 Then I arose <6965 quwm > ,  and went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > into <0413 >el > the plain <1237 biq<ah > : and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the glory <3519 kabowd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > stood <5975 <amad > there <8033 sham > ,  as the glory <3519 kabowd > which <0834 >aher > I saw <7200 ra>ah > by the river <5104 nahar > of Chebar <3529 K@bar > : and I fell <5307 naphal > on <5921 <al > my face <6440 paniym > .

 : 24 Then the spirit <7307 ruwach > entered <0935 bow> > into me ,  and set <5975 <amad > me upon my feet <7272 regel > ,  and spake <1696 dabar > with me ,  and said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Go <0935 bow> > ,  shut <5462 cagar > thyself within <8432 tavek > thine house <1004 bayith > .

 : 25 But thou ,  O son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  they shall put <5414 nathan > bands <5688 <aboth > upon thee ,  and shall bind <0631 >acar > thee with them ,  and thou shalt not go <3318 yatsa> > out among <8432 tavek > them :

 : 26 And I will make thy tongue <3956 lashown > cleave <1692 dabaq > to the roof <2441 chek > of thy mouth <2441 chek > ,  that thou shalt be dumb <0481 >alam > ,  and shalt not be to them a reprover <3198 yakach > : for they  [ are ]  a rebellious <4805 m@riy > house <1004 bayith > .

 : 27 But when I speak <1696 dabar > with thee ,  I will open <6605 pathach > thy mouth <6310 peh > ,  and thou shalt say <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  He that heareth <8085 shama< > ,  let him hear <8085 shama< > ;  and he that forbeareth <2310 chadel > ,  let him forbear <2308 chadal > : for they  [ are ]  a rebellious <4805 m@riy > house <1004 bayith > .

 : Ezekiel 4

 : 1 .  Thou also ,  son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  take <3947 laqach > thee a tile <3843 l@benah > ,  and lay <5414 nathan > it before <6440 paniym > thee ,  and pourtray <2710 chaqaq > upon it the city <5892 <iyr > ,   [ even <0853 >eth > ]  Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > :

 : 2 And lay <5414 nathan > siege <4692 matsowr > against <5921 <al > it ,  and build <1129 banah > a fort <1785 dayeq > against <5921 <al > it ,  and cast <8210 shaphak > a mount <5550 col@lah > against <5921 <al > it ;  set <5414 nathan > the camp <4264 machaneh > also against <5921 <al > it ,  and set <7760 suwm >  [ battering ]  rams <3733 kar > against <5921 <al > it round <5439 cabiyb > about .

 : 3 Moreover take <3947 laqach > thou unto thee an iron <1270 barzel > pan <4227 machabath > ,  and set <5414 nathan > it  [ for ]  a wall <7023 qiyr > of iron <1270 barzel > between <0996 beyn > thee and the city <5892 <iyr > : and set <3559 kuwn > thy face <6440 paniym > against <0413 >el > it ,  and it shall be besieged <4692 matsowr > ,  and thou shalt lay siege <6696 tsuwr > against <5921 <al > it .  This <1931 huw> >  [ shall be ]  a sign <0226 >owth > to the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 4 Lie <7901 shakab > thou also upon thy left <8042 s@ma>liy > side <6654 tsad > ,  and lay <7760 suwm > the iniquity <5771 <avon > of the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > upon it :  [ according ]  to the number <4557 micpar > of the days <3117 yowm > that thou shalt lie <7901 shakab > upon it thou shalt bear <5375 nasa> > their iniquity <5771 <avon > .

 : 5 For I have laid <5414 nathan > upon thee the years <8141 shaneh > of their iniquity <5771 <avon > ,  according to the number <4557 micpar > of the days <3117 yowm > ,  three <7969 shalowsh > hundred <3967 me>ah > and ninety <8673 tish<iym > days <3117 yowm > : so shalt thou bear <5375 nasa> > the iniquity <5771 <avon > of the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 6 And when thou hast accomplished <3615 kalah > them ,  lie <7901 shakab > again <8145 sheniy > on <5921 <al > thy right <6227 <ashan > side <6654 tsad > ,  and thou shalt bear <5375 nasa> > the iniquity <5771 <avon > of the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > forty <0705 >arba<iym > days <3117 yowm > : I have appointed <5414 nathan > thee each day <3117 yowm > for a year <8141 shaneh > .

 : 7 Therefore thou shalt set <3559 kuwn > thy face <6440 paniym > toward <0413 >el > the siege <4692 matsowr > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and thine arm <2220 z@rowa< >  [ shall be ]  uncovered <2834 chasaph > ,  and thou shalt prophesy <5012 naba> > against <5921 <al > it .

 : 8 And ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  I will lay bands <5688 <aboth > upon thee ,  and thou shalt not turn <2015 haphak > thee from one side <6654 tsad > to another ,  till <5704 <ad > thou hast ended <3615 kalah > the days <3117 yowm > of thy siege <4692 matsowr > .

 : 9 .  Take <3947 laqach > thou also unto thee wheat <2406 chittah > ,  and barley <8184 s@<orah > ,  and beans <6321 powl > ,  and lentiles <5742 <adash > ,  and millet <1764 dochan > ,  and fitches <3698 kuccemeth > ,  and put <5414 nathan > them in one <0259 >echad > vessel <3627 k@liy > ,  and make <6213 <asah > thee bread <3899 lechem > thereof ,   [ according ]  to the number <4557 micpar > of the days <3117 yowm > that thou shalt lie <7901 shakab > upon thy side <6654 tsad > ,  three <7969 shalowsh > hundred <3967 me>ah > and ninety <8673 tish<iym > days <3117 yowm > shalt thou eat <0398 >akal > thereof .

 : 10 And thy meat <3978 ma>akal > which <0834 >aher > thou shalt eat <0398 >akal >  [ shall be ]  by weight <4946 mishqowl > ,  twenty <6242 <esriym > shekels <8255 sheqel > a day <3117 yowm > : from time <6256 <eth > to time <6256 <eth > shalt thou eat <0398 >akal > it .

 : 11 Thou shalt drink <8354 shathah > also water <4325 mayim > by measure <4884 m@suwrah > ,  the sixth <8345 shishshiy > part of an hin <1969 hiyn > : from time <6256 <eth > to time <6256 <eth > shalt thou drink <8354 shathah > .

 : 12 And thou shalt eat <0398 >akal > it  [ as ]  barley <8184 s@<orah > cakes<5692 <uggah > ,  and thou shalt bake <5746 <uwg > it with dung <1561 gelel > that cometh <6627 tsa>ah > out of man <0120 >adam > ,  in their sight <5869 <ayin > .

 : 13 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > ,  Even <3602 kakah > thus <3602 kakah > shall the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > eat <0398 >akal > their defiled <2931 tame> > bread <3899 lechem > among the Gentiles <1471 gowy > ,  whither I will drive <5080 nadach > them .

 : 14 Then said <0559 >amar > I ,  Ah <0162 >ahahh > Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > !  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  my soul <5315 nephesh > hath not been polluted <2930 tame> > : for from my youth <5271 na<uwr > up even till <5704 <ad > now <6258 <attah > have I not eaten <0398 >akal > of that which dieth <5038 n@belah > of itself ,  or is torn <2966 t@rephah > in pieces ;  neither <3808 lo> > came <0935 bow> > there abominable <6292 pigguwl > flesh <1320 basar > into my mouth <6310 peh > .

 : 15 Then he said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Lo <7200 ra>ah > ,  I have given <5414 nathan > thee cow s <1241 baqar > dung <6832 ts@phuwa< > for man s <0120 >adam > dung <1561 gelel > ,  and thou shalt prepare <6213 <asah > thy bread <3899 lechem > therewith <5921 <al > .

 : 16 Moreover he said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  behold <2005 hen > ,  I will break <7665 shabar > the staff <4294 matteh > of bread <3899 lechem > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > : and they shall eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem > by weight <4948 mishqal > ,  and with care <1674 d@>agah > ;  and they shall drink <8354 shathah > water <4325 mayim > by measure <4884 m@suwrah > ,  and with astonishment <8078 shimmamown > :

 : 17 That they may want <2637 chacer > bread <3899 lechem > and water <4325 mayim > ,  and be astonied <8074 shamem > one <0376 >iysh > with another <0250 >Ezrachiy > ,  and consume <4743 maqaq > away for their iniquity <5771 <avon > .

 : Ezekiel 5

 : 1 .  And thou ,  son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  take <3947 laqach > theea sharp <2299 chad > knife <2719 chereb > ,  take <3947 laqach > thee a barber s <1532 gallab > razor <8593 ta<ar > ,  and cause  [ it ]  to pass <5674 <abar > upon thine head <7218 ro>sh > and upon thy beard <2206 zaqan > : then take <3947 laqach > thee balances <3976 mo>zen > to weigh <4948 mishqal > ,  and divide <2505 chalaq > the  [ hair ]  .

 : 2 Thou shalt burn <1197 ba<ar > with fire <0217 >uwr > a third <7992 sh@liyshiy > part in the midst <8432 tavek > of the city <5892 <iyr > ,  when the days <3117 yowm > of the siege <4692 matsowr > are fulfilled <4390 male> > : and thou shalt take <3947 laqach > a third <7992 sh@liyshiy > part ,   [ and ]  smite <5221 nakah > about <5439 cabiyb > it with a knife <2719 chereb > : and a third <7992 sh@liyshiy > part thou shalt scatter <2219 zarah > in the wind <7307 ruwach > ;  and I will draw <7324 ruwq > out a sword <2719 chereb > after <0310 >achar > them .

 : 3 Thou shalt also take <3947 laqach > thereof a few <4592 m@<at > in number <4557 micpar > ,  and bind <6887 tsarar > them in thy skirts <3671 kanaph > .

 : 4 Then take <3947 laqach > of them again <5750 <owd > ,  and cast <7993 shalak > them into <0413 >el > the midst <8432 tavek > of the fire <0784 >esh > ,  and burn <8313 saraph > them in the fire <0784 >esh > ;   [ for ]  thereof shall a fire <0784 >esh > come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > into <0413 >el > all <3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 5 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  This <2063 zo>th >  [ is ]  Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > : I have set <7760 suwm > it in the midst <8432 tavek > of the nations <1471 gowy > and countries <0776 >erets >  [ that are ]  round <5439 cabiyb > about her .

 : 6 And she hath changed <4171 muwr > my judgments <4941 mishpat > into wickedness <7564 rish<ah > more <4480 min > than <4480 min > the nations <1471 gowy > ,  and my statutes <2708 chuqqah > more <4480 min > than <4480 min > the countries <0776 >erets > that  [ are ]  round <5439 cabiyb > about her : for they have refused <3988 ma>ac > my judgments <4941 mishpat > and my statutes <2708 chuqqah > ,  they have not walked <1980 halak > in them .

 : 7 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Because <3282 ya<an > ye multiplied <1995 hamown > more <4480 min > than <4480 min > the nations <1471 gowy > that  [ are ]  round <5439 cabiyb > about you ,   [ and ]  have not walked <1980 halak > in my statutes <2708 chuqqah > ,  neither <3808 lo> > have kept <6213 <asah > my judgments <4941 mishpat > ,  neither <3808 lo> > have done <6213 <asah > according to the judgments <4941 mishpat > of the nations <1471 gowy > that  [ are ]  round <5439 cabiyb > about you ;

 : 8 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I ,  even <1571 gam > I ,   [ am ]  against <5921 <al > thee ,  and will execute <6213 <asah > judgments <4941 mishpat > in the midst <8432 tavek > of thee in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the nations <1471 gowy > .

 : 9 And I will do <6213 <asah > in thee that which <0834 >aher > I have not done <6213 <asah > ,  and whereunto <0834 >aher > I will not do <6213 <asah > any more <5750 <owd > the like <3644 k@mow > ,  because <3282 ya<an > of all <3605 kol > thine abominations <8441 tow<ebah > .

 : 10 Therefore <3651 ken > the fathers <1> shall eat <0398 >akal > the sons <1121 ben > in the midst <8432 tavek > of thee ,  and the sons <1121 ben > shall eat <0398 >akal > their fathers <1> ;  and I will execute <6213 <asah > judgments <8201 shephet > in thee ,  and the whole <3605 kol > remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of thee will I scatter <2219 zarah > into all <3605 kol > the winds <7307 ruwach > .

 : 11 Wherefore <3651 ken > ,   [ as ]  I live <2416 chay > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Surely ,  because <3282 ya<an > thou hast defiled <2930 tame> > my sanctuary <4720 miqdash > with all <3605 kol > thy detestable <8251 shiqquwts > things ,  and with all <3605 kol > thine abominations <8441 tow<ebah > ,  therefore will I also <1571 gam > diminish <1639 gara< >  [ thee ]  ;  neither <1571 gam > shall mine eye <5869 <ayin > spare <2347 chuwc > ,  neither <1571 gam > will I have any pity <2550 chamal > .

 : 12 A third <7992 sh@liyshiy > part of thee shall die <4191 muwth > with the pestilence <1698 deber > ,  and with famine <7458 ra<ab > shall they be consumed <3615 kalah > in the midst <8432 tavek > of thee : and a third <7992 sh@liyshiy > part shall fall <5307 naphal > by the sword <2719 chereb > round <5439 cabiyb > about thee ;  and I will scatter <2219 zarah > a third <7992 sh@liyshiy > part into all <3605 kol > the winds <7307 ruwach > ,  and I will draw <7324 ruwq > out a sword <2719 chereb > after <0310 >achar > them .

 : 13 Thus shall mine anger <0639 >aph > be accomplished <3615 kalah > ,  and I will cause my fury <2534 chemah > to rest <5117 nuwach > upon them ,  and I will be comforted <5162 nacham > : and they shall know <3045 yada< > that I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > have spoken <1696 dabar >  [ it ]  in my zeal <7068 qin>ah > ,  when I have accomplished <3615 kalah > my fury <2534 chemah > in them .

 : 14 Moreover I will make <5414 nathan > thee waste <2723 chorbah > ,  and a reproach <2781 cherpah > among the nations <1471 gowy > that  [ are ]  round <5439 cabiyb > about thee ,  in the sight <5869 <ayin > of all <3605 kol > that pass <5674 <abar > by .

 : 15 So it shall be a reproach <2781 cherpah > and a taunt <1422 g@duwphah > ,  an instruction <4148 muwcar > and an astonishment <8047 shammah > unto the nations <1471 gowy > that  [ are ]  round <5439 cabiyb > about thee ,  when I shall execute <6213 <asah > judgments <8201 shephet > in thee in anger <0639 >aph > and in fury <2534 chemah > and in furious <2534 chemah > rebukes <8433 towkechah > .  I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > have spoken <1696 dabar >  [ it ]  .

 : 16 When I shall send <7971 shalach > upon them the evil <7451 ra< > arrows <2671 chets > of famine <7458 ra<ab > ,  which <0834 >aher > shall be for  [ their ]  destruction <4889 mashchiyth > ,   [ and ]  which <0834 >aher > I will send <7971 shalach > to destroy <7843 shachath > you : and I will increase <3254 yacaph > the famine <7458 ra<ab > upon you ,  and will break <7665 shabar > your staff <4294 matteh > of bread <3899 lechem > :

 : 17 So will I send <7971 shalach > upon you famine <7458 ra<ab > and evil <7451 ra< > beasts <2416 chay > ,  and they shall bereave <7921 shakol > thee ;  and pestilence <1698 deber > and blood <1818 dam > shall pass <5674 <abar > through thee ;  and I will bring <0935 bow> > the sword <2719 chereb > upon thee .  I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > have spoken <1696 dabar >  [ it ]  .

 : 4 And your altars <4196 mizbeach > shall be desolate <8074 shamem > ,  and your images <2553 chamman > shall be broken <7665 shabar > : and I will cast <5307 naphal > down <5307 naphal > your slain <2491 chalal >  [ men ]  before <6440 paniym > your idols <1544 gilluwl > .

 : 5 And I will lay <5414 nathan > the dead carcases <6297 peger > of the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > before <6440 paniym > their idols <1544 gilluwl > ;  and I will scatter <2219 zarah > your bones <6106 <etsem > round <5439 cabiyb > about your altars <4196 mizbeach > .

 : 6 In all <3605 kol > your dwellingplaces <4186 mowshab > the cities <5892 <iyr > shall be laid waste <2717 charab > ,  and the high <1116 bamah > places shall be desolate <3456 yasham > ;  that your altars <4196 mizbeach > may be laid waste <2717 charab > and made desolate <0816 >asham > ,  and your idols <1544 gilluwl > may be broken <7665 shabar > and cease <7673 shabath > ,  and your images <2553 chamman > may be cut <1438 gada< > down <1438 gada< > ,  and your works <4639 ma<aseh > may be abolished <4229 machah > .

 : 7 And the slain <2491 chalal > shall fall <5307 naphal > in the midst <8432 tavek > of you ,  and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 8 .  Yet will I leave <3498 yathar > a remnant <3498 yathar > ,  that ye may have <1961 hayah >  [ some ]  that shall escape <6412 paliyt > the sword <2719 chereb > among the nations <1471 gowy > ,  when ye shall be scattered <2219 zarah > through the countries <0776 >erets > .

 : 9 And they that escape <6412 paliyt > of you shall remember <2142 zakar > me among the nations <1471 gowy > whither they shall be carried <7617 shabah > captives <7617 shabah > ,  because <0834 >aher > I am broken <7665 shabar > with their whorish <2181 zanah > heart <3820 leb > ,  which <0834 >aher > hath departed <5493 cuwr > from me ,  and with their eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  which go a whoring <2181 zanah > after <0310 >achar > their idols <1544 gilluwl > : and they shall lothe <6962 quwt > themselves <6440 paniym > for the evils <7451 ra< > which <0834 >aher > they have committed <6213 <asah > in all <3605 kol > their abominations <8441 tow<ebah > .

 : 10 And they shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,   [ and that ]  I have not said <1696 dabar > in vain <2600 chinnam > that I would do <6213 <asah > this <2063 zo>th > evil <7451 ra< > unto them .

 : 11 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Smite <5221 nakah > with thine hand <3709 kaph > ,  and stamp <7554 raqa< > with thy foot <7272 regel > ,  and say <0559 >amar > ,  Alas <0253 >ach > for all <3605 kol > the evil <7451 ra< > abominations <8441 tow<ebah > of the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > !  for they shall fall <5307 naphal > by the sword <2719 chereb > ,  by the famine <7458 ra<ab > ,  and by the pestilence <1698 deber > .

 : 12 He that is far <7350 rachowq > off shall die <4191 muwth > of the pestilence <1698 deber > ;  and he that is near <7138 qarowb > shall fall <5307 naphal > by the sword <2719 chereb > ;  and he that remaineth <7604 sha>ar > and is besieged <5341 natsar > shall die <4191 muwth > by the famine <7458 ra<ab > : thus will I accomplish <3615 kalah > my fury <2534 chemah > upon them .

 : 13 Then shall ye know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  when their slain <2491 chalal >  [ men ]  shall be among <8432 tavek > their idols <1544 gilluwl > round <5439 cabiyb > about their altars <4196 mizbeach > ,  upon every <3605 kol > high <7311 ruwm > hill <1389 gib<ah > ,  in all <3605 kol > the tops <7218 ro>sh > of the mountains <2022 har > ,  and under <8478 tachath > every <3605 kol > green <7488 ra<anan > tree <6086 <ets > ,  and under <8478 tachath > every <3605 kol > thick <5687 <aboth > oak <0424 >elah > ,  the place <4725 maqowm > where they did offer <5414 nathan > sweet <5207 nichowach > savour <7381 reyach > to all <3605 kol > their idols <1544 gilluwl > .

 : 14 So will I stretch <5186 natah > out my hand <3027 yad > upon them ,  and make <5414 nathan > the land <0776 >erets > desolate <8077 sh@mamah > ,  yea ,  more desolate <8047 shammah > than the wilderness <4057 midbar > toward Diblath <1689 Diblah > ,  in all <3605 kol > their habitations <4186 mowshab > : and they shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : Ezekiel 7

 : 1 .  Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 2 Also ,  thou son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > unto the land <0127 >adamah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  An end <7093 qets > ,  the end <7093 qets > is come <0935 bow> > upon the four <0702 >arba< > corners <3671 kanaph > of the land <0776 >erets > .

 : 3 Now <6258 <attah >  [ is ]  the end <7093 qets >  [ come ]  upon thee ,  and I will send <7971 shalach > mine anger <0639 >aph > upon thee ,  and will judge <8199 shaphat > thee according to thy ways <1870 derek > ,  and will recompense <5414 nathan > upon thee all <3605 kol > thine abominations <8441 tow<ebah > .

 : 4 And mine eye <5869 <ayin > shall not spare <2347 chuwc > thee ,  neither <3808 lo> > will I have pity <2550 chamal > : but I will recompense <5414 nathan > thy ways <1870 derek > upon thee ,  and thine abominations <8441 tow<ebah > shall be in the midst <8432 tavek > of thee : and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 5 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  An evil <7451 ra< > ,  an only <0259 >echad > evil <7451 ra< > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  is come <0935 bow> > .

 : 6 An end <7093 qets > is come <0935 bow> > ,  the end <7093 qets > is come <0935 bow> > : it watcheth <6974 quwts > for thee ;  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  it is come <0935 bow> > .

 : 7 The morning <6843 ts@phiyrah > is come <0935 bow> > unto thee ,  O thou that dwellest <3427 yashab > in the land <0776 >erets > : the time <6256 <eth > is come <0935 bow> > ,  the day <3117 yowm > of trouble <4103 m@huwmah >  [ is ]  near <7138 qarowb > ,  and not the sounding <1906 hed > again <1906 hed > of the mountains <2022 har > .

 : 8 Now <6258 <attah > will I shortly <7138 qarowb > pour <8210 shaphak > out my fury <2534 chemah > upon thee ,  and accomplish <3615 kalah > mine anger <0639 >aph > upon thee : and I will judge <8199 shaphat > thee according to thy ways <1870 derek > ,  and will recompense <5414 nathan > thee for all <3605 kol > thine abominations <8441 tow<ebah > .

 : 9 And mine eye <5869 <ayin > shall not spare <2347 chuwc > ,  neither <3808 lo> > will I have pity <2550 chamal > : I will recompense <5414 nathan > thee according to thy ways <1870 derek > and thine abominations <8441 tow<ebah >  [ that ]  are in the midst <8432 tavek > of thee ;  and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that smiteth <5221 nakah > .

 : 10 Behold <2009 hinneh > the day <3117 yowm > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  it is come <0935 bow> > : the morning <6843 ts@phiyrah > is gone <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > ;  the rod <4294 matteh > hath blossomed <6692 tsuwts > ,  pride <2087 zadown > hath budded <6524 parach > .

 : 11 Violence <2555 chamac > is risen <6965 quwm > up into a rod <4294 matteh > of wickedness <7562 resha< > : none <3808 lo> > of them  [ shall remain ]  ,  nor <3808 lo> > of their multitude <1995 hamown > ,  nor <3808 lo> > of any <1991 hem > of theirs <1992 hem > : neither <3808 lo> >  [ shall there be ]  wailing <5089 noahh > for them .

 : 12 The time <6256 <eth > is come <0935 bow> > ,  the day <3117 yowm > draweth near <5060 naga< > : let not the buyer <7069 qanah > rejoice <8055 samach > ,  nor <0408 >al > the seller <4376 makar > mourn <56> : for wrath <2740 charown >  [ is ]  upon all <3605 kol > the multitude <1995 hamown > thereof .

 : 13 For the seller <4376 makar > shall not return <7725 shuwb > to that which is sold <4465 mimkar > ,  although they were yet <5750 <owd > alive <2416 chay > : for the vision <2377 chazown >  [ is ]  touching <0413 >el > the whole <3605 kol > multitude <1995 hamown > thereof ,   [ which ]  shall not return <7725 shuwb > ;  neither <3808 lo> > shall any <0376 >iysh > strengthen <2388 chazaq > himself in the iniquity <5771 <avon > of his life <2416 chay > .

 : 14 They have blown <8628 taqa< > the trumpet <8628 taqa< > ,  even to make all <3605 kol > ready <3559 kuwn > ;  but none <0369 >ayin > goeth <1980 halak > to the battle <4421 milchamah > : for my wrath <2740 charown >  [ is ]  upon all <3605 kol > the multitude <1995 hamown > thereof .

 : 15 The sword <2719 chereb >  [ is ]  without <2351 chuwts > ,  and the pestilence <1698 deber > and the famine <7458 ra<ab > within <1004 bayith > : he that  [ is ]  in the field <7704 sadeh > shall die <4191 muwth > with the sword <2719 chereb > ;  and he that  [ is ]  in the city <5892 <iyr > ,  famine <7458 ra<ab > and pestilence <1698 deber > shall devour <0398 >akal > him .

 : 16 .  But they that escape <6403 palat > of them shall escape <6412 paliyt > ,  and shall be on <0413 >el > the mountains <2022 har > like doves <3123 yownah > of the valleys <1516 gay> > ,  all <3605 kol > of them mourning <1993 hamah > ,  every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > for his iniquity <5771 <avon > .

 : 17 All <3605 kol > hands <3027 yad > shall be feeble <7503 raphah > ,  and all <3605 kol > knees <1290 berek > shall be weak <3212 yalak >  [ as ]  water <4325 mayim > .

 : 18 They shall also gird <2296 chagar >  [ themselves ]  with sackcloth <8242 saq > ,  and horror <6427 pallatsuwth > shall cover <3680 kacah > them ;  and shame <0955 buwshah >  [ shall be ]  upon all <3605 kol > faces <6440 paniym > ,  and baldness <7144 qorchah > upon all <3605 kol > their heads <7218 ro>sh > .

 : 19 They shall cast <7993 shalak > their silver <3701 keceph > in the streets <2351 chuwts > ,  and their gold <2091 zahab > shall be removed <5079 niddah > : their silver <3701 keceph > and their gold <2091 zahab > shall not be able <3201 yakol > to deliver <5337 natsal > them in the day <3117 yowm > of the wrath <5678 <ebrah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : they shall not satisfy <7646 saba< > their souls <5315 nephesh > ,  neither <3808 lo> > fill <4390 male> > their bowels <4578 me<ah > : because <3588 kiy > it is the stumblingblock <4383 mikshowl > of their iniquity <5771 <avon > .

 : 20 As for the beauty <6643 ts@biy > of his ornament <5716 <adiy > ,  he set <7760 suwm > it in majesty <1347 ga>own > : but they made <6213 <asah > the images <6754 tselem > of their abominations <8441 tow<ebah >  [ and ]  of their detestable <8251 shiqquwts > things therein : therefore have I set <5414 nathan > it far <5079 niddah > from them .

 : 21 And I will give <5414 nathan > it into the hands <3027 yad > of the strangers <2114 zuwr > for a prey <0957 baz > ,  and to the wicked <7563 rasha< > of the earth <0776 >erets > for a spoil <7998 shalal > ;  and they shall pollute <2490 chalal > it .

 : 22 My face <6440 paniym > will I turn <5437 cabab > also from them ,  and they shall pollute <2490 chalal > my secret <6845 tsaphan >  [ place ]  : for the robbers <6530 p@riyts > shall enter <0935 bow> > into it ,  and defile <2490 chalal > it .

 : 23 .  Make <6213 <asah > a chain <7659 shib<athayim > : for the land <0776 >erets > is full <4390 male> > of bloody <1818 dam > crimes <4941 mishpat > ,  and the city <5892 <iyr > is full <4390 male> > of violence <2555 chamac > .

 : 24 Wherefore I will bring <0935 bow> > the worst <7451 ra< > of the heathen <1471 gowy > ,  and they shall possess <3423 yarash > their houses <1004 bayith > : I will also make the pomp <1347 ga>own > of the strong <5794 <az > to cease <7673 shabath > ;  and their holy <6942 qadash > places shall be defiled <2490 chalal > .

 : 25 Destruction <7089 q@phadah > cometh <0935 bow> > ;  and they shall seek <1245 baqash > peace <7965 shalowm > ,  and  [ there shall be ]  none <0369 >ayin > .

 : 26 Mischief <1943 hovah > shall come <0935 bow> > upon mischief <1943 hovah > ,  and rumour <8052 sh@muw<ah > shall be upon rumour <8052 sh@muw<ah > ;  then shall they seek <1245 baqash > a vision <2377 chazown > of the prophet <5030 nabiy> > ;  but the law <8451 towrah > shall perish <6> from the priest <3548 kohen > ,  and counsel <6098 <etsah > from the ancients <2204 zaqen > .

 : 27 The king <4428 melek > shall mourn <56> ,  and the prince <5387 nasiy> > shall be clothed <3847 labash > with desolation <8077 sh@mamah > ,  and the hands <3027 yad > of the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets > shall be troubled <0926 bahal > : I will do <6213 <asah > unto them after their way <1870 derek > ,  and according to their deserts <4941 mishpat > will I judge <8199 shaphat > them ;  and they shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : Ezekiel 8

 : 1 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the sixth <8345 shishshiy > year <8141 shaneh > ,  in the sixth <8345 shishshiy >  [ month ]  ,  in the fifth <2568 chamesh >  [ day ]  of the month <2320 chodesh > ,   [ as ]  I sat <3427 yashab > in mine house <1004 bayith > ,  and the elders <2205 zaqen > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > sat <3427 yashab > before <6440 paniym > me ,  that the hand <3027 yad > of the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > fell <5307 naphal > there <8033 sham > upon me .

 : 2 Then I beheld <7200 ra>ah > ,  and lo <2009 hinneh > a likeness <1823 d@muwth > as the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of fire <0784 >esh > : from the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of his loins <4975 mothen > even downward <4295 mattah > ,  fire <0784 >esh > ;  and from his loins <4975 mothen > even upward <4605 ma<al > ,  as the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of brightness <2096 zohar > ,  as the colour <5869 <ayin > of amber <2830 chashmal > .

 : 3 And he put <7971 shalach > forth <7971 shalach > the form <8403 tabniyth > of an hand <3027 yad > ,  and took <3947 laqach > me by a lock <6734 tsiytsith > of mine head <7218 ro>sh > ;  and the spirit <7307 ruwach > lifted <5375 nasa> > me up between <0996 beyn > the earth <0776 >erets > and the heaven <8064 shamayim > ,  and brought <0935 bow> > me in the visions <4759 mar>ah > of God <0430 >elohiym > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  to the door <6607 pethach > of the inner <6442 p@niymiy > gate <8179 sha<ar > that looketh <6437 panah > toward the north <6828 tsaphown > ;  where  [ was ]  the seat <4186 mowshab > of the image <5566 cemel > of jealousy <7069 qanah > ,  which provoketh to jealousy <7069 qanah > .

 : 4 And ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the glory <3519 kabowd > of the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >  [ was ]  there <8033 sham > ,  according to the vision <4758 mar>eh > that I saw <7200 ra>ah > in the plain <1237 biq<ah > .

 : 5 Then said <0559 >amar > he unto me ,  Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  lift <5375 nasa> > up thine eyes <5869 <ayin > now <4994 na> > the way <1870 derek > toward the north <6828 tsaphown > .  So I lifted <5375 nasa> > up mine eyes <5869 <ayin > the way <1870 derek > toward the north <6828 tsaphown > ,  and behold <2009 hinneh > northward <6828 tsaphown > at the gate <8179 sha<ar > of the altar <4196 mizbeach > this <2088 zeh > image <5566 cemel > of jealousy <7068 qin>ah > in the entry <0872 b@>ah > .

 : 6 He said <0559 >amar > furthermore unto me ,  Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  seest <7200 ra>ah > thou what <4100 mah > they do <6213 <asah > ?   [ even ]  the great <1419 gadowl > abominations <8441 tow<ebah > that the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > committeth <6213 <asah > here <6311 poh > ,  that I should go <7368 rachaq > far <7368 rachaq > off from my sanctuary <4720 miqdash > ?  but turn <7725 shuwb > thee yet <5750 <owd > again <5750 <owd > ,   [ and ]  thou shalt see <7200 ra>ah > greater <1419 gadowl > abominations <8441 tow<ebah > .

 : 7 .  And he brought <0935 bow> > me to the door <6607 pethach > of the court <2691 chatser > ;  and when I looked <7200 ra>ah > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > a hole <2356 chowr > in the wall <7023 qiyr > .

 : 8 Then said <0559 >amar > he unto me ,  Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  dig <2864 chathar > now <4994 na> > in the wall <7023 qiyr > : and when I had digged <2864 chathar > in the wall <7023 qiyr > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > a door <6607 pethach > .

 : 9 And he said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Go <0935 bow> > in ,  and behold <7200 ra>ah > the wicked <7451 ra< > abominations <8441 tow<ebah > that they do <6213 <asah > here <6311 poh > .

 : 10 So I went <0935 bow> > in and saw <7200 ra>ah > ;  and behold <2009 hinneh > every <3605 kol > form <8403 tabniyth > of creeping <7431 remes > things ,  and abominable <8263 sheqets > beasts <0929 b@hemah > ,  and all <3605 kol > the idols <1544 gilluwl > of the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  pourtrayed <2707 chaqah > upon the wall <7023 qiyr > round <5439 cabiyb > about .

 : 11 And there stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > them seventy <7657 shib<iym .  > men <0376 >iysh > of the ancients <2204 zaqen > of the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and in the midst <8432 tavek > of them stood <5975 <amad > Jaazaniah <2970 Ya>azanyah > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227 shaphan > ,  with every man <0376 >iysh > his censer <4730 miqtereth > in his hand <3027 yad > ;  and a thick <6282 <athar > cloud <6051 <anan > of incense <7004 q@toreth > went <5927 <alah > up .

 : 12 Then said <0559 >amar > he unto me ,  Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  hast thou seen <7200 ra>ah > what <0834 >aher > the ancients <2204 zaqen > of the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > do <6213 <asah > in the dark <2822 choshek > ,  every man <0376 >iysh > in the chambers <2315 cheder > of his imagery <4906 maskiyth > ?  for they say <0559 >amar > ,  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > seeth <7200 ra>ah > us not ;  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath forsaken <5800 <azab > the earth <0776 >erets > .

 : 13 .  He said <0559 >amar > also unto me ,  Turn <7725 shuwb > thee yet <5750 <owd > again <5750 <owd > ,   [ and ]  thou shalt see <7200 ra>ah > greater <1419 gadowl > abominations <8441 tow<ebah > that they do <6213 <asah > .

 : 14 Then he brought <0935 bow> > me to the door <6607 pethach > of the gate <8179 sha<ar > of the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith > which <0834 >aher >  [ was ]  toward <5921 <al > the north <6828 tsaphown > ;  and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  there <8033 sham > sat <3427 yashab > women <0802 >ishshah > weeping <1058 bakah > for Tammuz <8542 Tammuwz > .

 : 15 Then said <0559 >amar > he unto me ,  Hast thou seen <7200 ra>ah >  [ this ]  ,  O son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ?  turn <7725 shuwb > thee yet <5750 <owd > again <5750 <owd > ,   [ and ]  thou shalt see <7200 ra>ah > greater <1419 gadowl > abominations <8441 tow<ebah > than these <0428 >el - leh > .

 : 16 And he brought <0935 bow> > me into <0413 >el > the inner <6442 p@niymiy > court <2691 chatser > of the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith > ,  and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  at the door <6607 pethach > of the temple <1964 heykal > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  between <0996 beyn > the porch <0197 >uwlam > and the altar <4196 mizbeach > ,   [ were ]  about five <2568 chamesh > and twenty <6242 <esriym > men <0376 >iysh > ,  with their backs <0268 >achowr > toward <0413 >el > the temple <1964 heykal > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and their faces <6440 paniym > toward the east <6924 qedem > ;  and they worshipped <7812 shachah > the sun <8121 shemesh > toward the east <6924 qedem > .

 : 17 Then he said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Hast thou seen <7200 ra>ah >  [ this ]  ,  O son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ?  Is it a light <7043 qalal > thing to the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > that they commit <6213 <asah > the abominations <8441 tow<ebah > which <0834 >aher > they commit <6213 <asah > here <6311 poh > ?  for they have filled <4390 male> > the land <0776 >erets > with violence <2555 chamac > ,  and have returned <7725 shuwb > to provoke me to anger <3707 ka<ac > : and ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,  they put <7971 shalach > the branch <2156 z@mowrah > to their nose <0639 >aph > .

 : 18 Therefore will I also <1571 gam > deal <6213 <asah > in fury <2534 chemah > : mine eye <5869 <ayin > shall not spare <2347 chuwc > ,  neither <3808 lo> > will I have pity <2550 chamal > : and though they cry <7121 qara> > in mine ears <0241 >ozen > with a loud <1419 gadowl > voice <6963 qowl > ,   [ yet ]  will I not hear <8085 shama< > them .

 : Ezekiel 9

 : 1 .  He cried <7121 qara> > also in mine ears <0241 >ozen > with a loud <1419 gadowl > voice <6963 qowl > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Cause them that have charge <6486 p@quddah > over the city <5892 <iyr > to draw near <7126 qarab > ,  even every man <0376 >iysh >  [ with ]  his destroying <4892 mashcheth > weapon <3627 k@liy > in his hand <3027 yad > .

 : 2 And ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  six <8337 shesh > men <0582 >enowsh > came <0935 bow> > from the way <1870 derek > of the higher <5945 >elyown > gate <8179 sha<ar > ,  which <0834 >aher > lieth toward the north <6828 tsaphown > ,  and every man <0376 >iysh > a slaughter <4660 mappats > weapon <3627 k@liy > in his hand <3027 yad > ;  and one <0259 >echad > man <0376 >iysh > among <8432 tavek > them  [ was ]  clothed <3847 labash > with linen <0906 bad > ,  with a writer s <5608 caphar > inkhorn <7083 qeceth > by his side <4975 mothen > : and they went <0935 bow> > in ,  and stood <5975 <amad > beside <0681 >etsel > the brasen <5178 n@chosheth > altar <4196 mizbeach > .

 : 3 And the glory <3519 kabowd > of the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > was gone <5927 <alah > up from the cherub <3742 k@ruwb > ,  whereupon he was ,  to the threshold <4670 miphtan > of the house <1004 bayith > .  And he called <7121 qara> > to the man <0376 >iysh > clothed <3847 labash > with linen <0906 bad > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ had ]  the writer s <5608 caphar > inkhorn <7083 qeceth > by his side <4975 mothen > ;

 : 4 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Go <5674 <abar > through <5674 <abar > the midst <8432 tavek > of the city <5892 <iyr > ,  through the midst <8432 tavek > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and set <8427 tavah > a mark <8420 tav > upon the foreheads <4696 metsach > of the men <0582 >enowsh > that sigh <0584 >anach > and that cry <0602 >anaq > for all <3605 kol > the abominations <8441 tow<ebah > that be done <6213 <asah > in the midst <8432 tavek > thereof .

 : 5 .  And to the others <0428 >el - leh > he said <0559 >amar > in mine hearing <0241 >ozen > ,  Go <5674 <abar > ye after <0310 >achar > him through the city <5892 <iyr > ,  and smite <5221 nakah > : let not your eye <5869 <ayin > spare <2347 chuwc > ,  neither <0408 >al > have ye pity <2550 chamal > :

 : 6 Slay <2026 harag > utterly old <2205 zaqen >  [ and ]  young <0970 bachuwr > ,  both maids <1330 b@thuwlah > ,  and little <2945 taph > children <2945 taph > ,  and women <0802 >ishshah > : but come <5066 nagash > not near <5066 nagash > any <3605 kol > man <0376 >iysh > upon whom <0834 >aher >  [ is ]  the mark <8420 tav > ;  and begin <2490 chalal > at my sanctuary <4720 miqdash > .  Then they began <2490 chalal > at the ancient <2204 zaqen > men <0582 >enowsh > which <0834 >aher >  [ were ]  before <6440 paniym > the house <1004 bayith > .

 : 7 And he said <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Defile <2930 tame> > the house <1004 bayith > ,  and fill <4390 male> > the courts <2691 chatser > with the slain <2491 chalal > : go <3318 yatsa> > ye forth <3318 yatsa> > .  And they went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > ,  and slew <5221 nakah > in the city <5892 <iyr > .

 : 8 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  while they were slaying <5221 nakah > them ,  and I was left <7604 sha>ar > ,  that I fell <5307 naphal > upon my face <6440 paniym > ,  and cried <2199 za<aq > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Ah <0162 >ahahh > Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > !  wilt thou destroy <7843 shachath > all <3605 kol > the residue <7611 sh@>eriyth > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in thy pouring <8210 shaphak > out of thy fury <2534 chemah > upon Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ?

 : 9 Then said <0559 >amar > he unto me ,  The iniquity <5771 <avon > of the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >  [ is ]  exceeding <3966 m@<od > great <1419 gadowl > ,  and the land <0776 >erets > is full <4390 male> > of blood <1818 dam > ,  and the city <5892 <iyr > full <4390 male> > of perverseness <4297 mutteh > : for they say <0559 >amar > ,  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath forsaken <5800 <azab > the earth <0776 >erets > ,  and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > seeth <7200 ra>ah > not .

 : 10 And as for me also <1571 gam > ,  mine eye <5869 <ayin > shall not spare <2347 chuwc > ,  neither <3808 lo> > will I have pity <2550 chamal > ,   [ but ]  I will recompense <5414 nathan > their way <1870 derek > upon their head <7218 ro>sh > .

 : 11 And ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the man <0376 >iysh > clothed <3847 labash > with linen <0906 bad > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ had ]  the inkhorn <7083 qeceth > by his side <4975 mothen > ,  reported <7725 shuwb > the matter <1697 dabar > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  I have done <6213 <asah > as thou hast commanded <6680 tsavah > me .

 : Ezekiel 10

 : 1 .  Then I looked <7200 ra>ah > ,  and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  in the firmament <7549 raqiya< > that was above <5921 <al > the head <7218 ro>sh > of the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > there appeared <7200 ra>ah > over <5921 <al > them as it were a sapphire <5601 cappiyr > stone <68> ,  as the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of the likeness <1823 d@muwth > of a throne <3678 kicce> > .

 : 2 And he spake <0559 >amar > unto the man <0376 >iysh > clothed <3847 labash > with linen <0906 bad > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Go <0935 bow> > in between <0996 beyn > the wheels <1534 galgal > ,   [ even ]  under the cherub <3742 k@ruwb > ,  and fill <4390 male> > thine hand <2651 chophen > with coals <1513 gechel > of fire <0784 >esh > from between <0996 beyn > the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > ,  and scatter <2236 zaraq >  [ them ]  over <5921 <al > the city <5892 <iyr > .  And he went <0935 bow> > in in my sight <5869 <ayin > .

 : 3 Now the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > stood <5975 <amad > on <5921 <al > the right <3225 yamiyn > side <3225 yamiyn > of the house <1004 bayith > ,  when the man <0376 >iysh > went <0935 bow> > in ;  and the cloud <6051 <anan > filled <4390 male> > the inner <6442 p@niymiy > court <2691 chatser > .

 : 4 Then the glory <3519 kabowd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > went <7311 ruwm > up from the cherub <3742 k@ruwb > ,   [ and stood ]  over <5921 <al > the threshold <4670 miphtan > of the house <1004 bayith > ;  and the house <1004 bayith > was filled <4390 male> > with the cloud <6051 <anan > ,  and the court <2691 chatser > was full <4390 male> > of the brightness <5051 nogahh > of the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > glory <3519 kabowd > .

 : 5 And the sound <6963 qowl > of the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb >  wings <3671 kanaph > was heard <8085 shama< >  [ even ]  to the outer <2435 chiytsown > court <2691 chatser > ,  as the voice <6963 qowl > of the Almighty <7706 Shadday > God <0410 >el > when he speaketh <1696 dabar > .

 : 6 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,   [ that ]  when he had commanded <6680 tsavah > the man <0376 >iysh > clothed <3847 labash > with linen <0906 bad > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Take <3947 laqach > fire <0784 >esh > from between <0996 beyn > the wheels <1534 galgal > ,  from between <0996 beyn > the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > ;  then he went <0935 bow> > in ,  and stood <5975 <amad > beside <0681 >etsel > the wheels <0212 >owphan > .

 : 7 And  [ one ]  cherub <3742 k@ruwb > stretched <7971 shalach > forth his hand <3027 yad > from between <0996 beyn > the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > unto the fire <0784 >esh > that  [ was ]  between <0996 beyn > the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > ,  and took <5375 nasa> >  [ thereof ]  ,  and put <5414 nathan >  [ it ]  into <0413 >el > the hands <2651 chophen > of  [ him that was ]  clothed <3847 labash > with linen <0906 bad > : who took <3947 laqach >  [ it ]  ,  and went <3318 yatsa> > out .

 : 8 .  And there appeared <7200 ra>ah > in the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > the form<8403 tabniyth > of a man s <0120 >adam > hand <3027 yad > under <8478 tachath > their wings <3671 kanaph > .

 : 9 And when I looked <7200 ra>ah > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > the four <0702 >arba< > wheels <0212 >owphan > by the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > ,  one <0259 >echad > wheel <0212 >owphan > by one <0259 >echad > cherub <3742 k@ruwb > ,  and another <0259 >echad > wheel <0212 >owphan > by another <0259 >echad > cherub <3742 k@ruwb > : and the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of the wheels <0212 >owphan >  [ was ]  as the colour <5869 <ayin > of a beryl <8658 tarshiysh > stone <68> .

 : 10 And  [ as for ]  their appearances <4758 mar>eh > ,  they four <0702 >arba< > had <1961 hayah > one <0259 >echad > likeness <1823 d@muwth > ,  as if <0834 >aher > a wheel <0212 >owphan > had been <1961 hayah > in the midst <8432 tavek > of a wheel <0212 >owphan > .

 : 11 When they went <3212 yalak > ,  they went <3212 yalak > upon their four <0702 >arba< > sides <7253 reba< > ;  they turned <5437 cabab > not as they went <3212 yalak > ,  but to the place <4725 maqowm > whither <0834 >aher > the head <7218 ro>sh > looked <6437 panah > they followed it ;  they turned <5437 cabab > not as they went <3212 yalak > .

 : 12 And their whole <3605 kol > body <1320 basar > ,  and their backs <1354 gab > ,  and their hands <3027 yad > ,  and their wings <3671 kanaph > ,  and the wheels <0212 >owphan > ,   [ were ]  full <4392 male> > of eyes <5869 <ayin > round <5439 cabiyb > about ,   [ even ]  the wheels <0212 >owphan > that they four <0702 >arba< > had .

 : 13 As for the wheels <0212 >owphan > ,  it was cried <7121 qara> > unto them in my hearing <0241 >ozen > ,  O wheel <1534 galgal > .

 : 14 And every one <0259 >echad > had four <0702 >arba< > faces <6440 paniym > : the first <0259 >echad > face <6440 paniym >  [ was ]  the face <6440 paniym > of a cherub <3742 k@ruwb > ,  and the second <8145 sheniy > face <6440 paniym >  [ was ]  the face <6440 paniym > of a man <0120 >adam > ,  and the third <7992 sh@liyshiy > the face <6440 paniym > of a lion <0738 >ariy > ,  and the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > the face <6440 paniym > of an eagle <5404 nesher > .

 : 15 And the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > were lifted <7426 ramam > up .  This <1931 huw> >  [ is ]  the living <2416 chay > creature <2416 chay > that I saw <7200 ra>ah > by the river <5104 nahar > of Chebar <3529 K@bar > .

 : 16 And when the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > went <3212 yalak > ,  the wheels <0212 >owphan > went <3212 yalak > by them : and when the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > lifted <5375 nasa> > up their wings <3671 kanaph > to mount <7311 ruwm > up from the earth <0776 >erets > ,  the same <1992 hem > wheels <0212 >owphan > also <1571 gam > turned <5437 cabab > not from beside <0681 >etsel > them .

 : 17 When they stood <5975 <amad > ,   [ these ]  stood <5975 <amad > ;  and when they were lifted <7311 ruwm > up ,   [ these ]  lifted <7426 ramam > up themselves  [ also ]  : for the spirit <7307 ruwach > of the living <2416 chay > creature <2416 chay >  [ was ]  in them .

 : 18 Then the glory <3519 kabowd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > departed <3318 yatsa> > from off <5921 <al > the threshold <4670 miphtan > of the house <1004 bayith > ,  and stood <5975 <amad > over <5921 <al > the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > .

 : 19 And the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > lifted <5375 nasa> > up their wings <3671 kanaph > ,  and mounted <7426 ramam > up from the earth <0776 >erets > in my sight <5869 <ayin > : when they went <3318 yatsa> > out ,  the wheels <0212 >owphan > also  [ were ]  beside <5980 <ummah > them ,  and  [ every one ]  stood <5975 <amad > at the door <6607 pethach > of the east <6931 qadmowniy > gate <8179 sha<ar > of the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith > ;  and the glory <3519 kabowd > of the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >  [ was ]  over <5921 <al > them above <4605 ma<al > .

 : 20 This <1931 huw> >  [ is ]  the living <2416 chay > creature <2416 chay > that I saw <7200 ra>ah > under <8478 tachath > the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > by the river <5104 nahar > of Chebar <3529 K@bar > ;  and I knew <3045 yada< > that they  [ were ]  the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > .

 : 21 Every one <0259 >echad > had four <0702 >arba< > faces <6440 paniym > apiece <0259 >echad > ,  and every one <0259 >echad > four <0702 >arba< > wings <3671 kanaph > ;  and the likeness <1823 d@muwth > of the hands <3027 yad > of a man <0120 >adam >  [ was ]  under <8478 tachath > their wings <3671 kanaph > .

 : 22 And the likeness <1823 d@muwth > of their faces <6440 paniym >  [ was ]  the same <1992 hem > faces <6440 paniym > which <0834 >aher > I saw <7200 ra>ah > by the river <5104 nahar > of Chebar <3529 K@bar > ,  their appearances <4758 mar>eh > and themselves <6440 paniym > : they went <3212 yalak > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > straight <5676 <eber > forward <6440 paniym > .

 : Ezekiel 11

 : 1 .  Moreover the spirit <7307 ruwach > lifted <5375 nasa> > me up ,  and brought <0935 bow> > me unto the east <6931 qadmowniy > gate <8179 sha<ar > of the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith > ,  which looketh <6437 panah > eastward <6921 qadiym > : and behold <2009 hinneh > at the door <6607 pethach > of the gate <8179 sha<ar > five <2568 chamesh > and twenty <6242 <esriym > men <0376 >iysh > ;  among <8432 tavek > whom I saw <7200 ra>ah > Jaazaniah <2970 Ya>azanyah > the son <1121 ben > of Azur <5809 <Azzuwr > ,  and Pelatiah <6410 P@latyah > the son <1121 ben > of Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > ,  princes <8269 sar > of the people <5971 <am > .

 : 2 Then said <0559 >amar > he unto me ,  Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  these <0428 >el - leh >  [ are ]  the men <0582 >enowsh > that devise <2803 chashab > mischief <0205 >aven > ,  and give wicked <7451 ra< > counsel <6098 <etsah > in this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > :

 : 3 Which say <0559 >amar > ,   [ It is ]  not near <7138 qarowb > ;  let us build <1129 banah > houses <1004 bayith > : this <1931 huw> >  [ city is ]  the caldron <5518 ciyr > ,  and we  [ be ]  the flesh <1320 basar > .

 : 4 Therefore <3651 ken > prophesy <5012 naba> > against <5921 <al > them ,  prophesy <5012 naba> > ,  O son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > .

 : 5 And the Spirit <7307 ruwach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > fell <5307 naphal > upon me ,  and said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Speak <0559 >amar > ;  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  Thus <3651 ken > have ye said <0559 >amar > ,  O house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : for I know <3045 yada< > the things that come <4609 ma<alah > into your mind <7307 ruwach > ,   [ every one of ]  them .

 : 6 Ye have multiplied <7235 rabah > your slain <2491 chalal > in this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > ,  and ye have filled <4390 male> > the streets <2351 chuwts > thereof with the slain <2491 chalal > .

 : 7 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Your slain <2491 chalal > whom <0834 >aher > ye have laid <7760 suwm > in the midst <8432 tavek > of it ,  they  [ are ]  the flesh <1320 basar > ,  and this <1931 huw> >  [ city is ]  the caldron <5518 ciyr > : but I will bring <3318 yatsa> > you forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the midst <8432 tavek > of it .

 : 8 Ye have feared <3372 yare> > the sword <2719 chereb > ;  and I will bring <0935 bow> > a sword <2719 chereb > upon you ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : 9 And I will bring <3318 yatsa> > you out of the midst <8432 tavek > thereof ,  and deliver <5414 nathan > you into the hands <3027 yad > of strangers <2114 zuwr > ,  and will execute <6213 <asah > judgments <8201 shephet > among you .

 : 10 Ye shall fall <5307 naphal > by the sword <2719 chereb > ;  I will judge <8199 shaphat > you in the border <1366 g@buwl > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 11 This <1931 huw> >  [ city ]  shall not be your caldron <5518 ciyr > ,  neither shall ye be the flesh <1320 basar > in the midst <8432 tavek > thereof ;   [ but ]  I will judge <8199 shaphat > you in the border <1366 g@buwl > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > :

 : 12 And ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : for ye have not walked <1980 halak > in my statutes <2706 choq > ,  neither <3808 lo> > executed <6213 <asah > my judgments <4941 mishpat > ,  but have done <6213 <asah > after the manners <4941 mishpat > of the heathen <1471 gowy > that  [ are ]  round <5439 cabiyb > about you .

 : 13 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when I prophesied <5012 naba> > ,  that Pelatiah <6410 P@latyah > the son <1121 ben > of Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > died <4191 muwth > .  Then fell <5307 naphal > I down upon my face <6440 paniym > ,  and cried <2199 za<aq > with a loud <1419 gadowl > voice <6963 qowl > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Ah <0162 >ahahh > Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > !  wilt thou make <6213 <asah > a full end <3615 kalah > of the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ?

 : 14 .  Again the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 15 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  thy brethren <0251 >ach > ,   [ even ]  thy brethren <0251 >ach > ,  the men <0582 >enowsh > of thy kindred <1353 g@ullah > ,  and all <3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > wholly <3605 kol > ,   [ are ]  they unto whom <0834 >aher > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > have said <0559 >amar > ,  Get you far <7368 rachaq > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : unto us is this <1931 huw> > land <0776 >erets > given <5414 nathan > in possession <4181 mowrashah > .

 : 16 Therefore <3651 ken > say <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Although <3588 kiy > I have cast <7368 rachaq > them far <7368 rachaq > off among the heathen <1471 gowy > ,  and although <0272 >achuzzah > I have scattered <6327 puwts > them among the countries <0776 >erets > ,  yet will I be to them as a little <4592 m@<at > sanctuary <4720 miqdash > in the countries <0776 >erets > where they shall come <0935 bow> > .

 : 17 Therefore <3651 ken > say <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  I will even gather <6908 qabats > you from the people <5971 <am > ,  and assemble <0622 >acaph > you out of the countries <0776 >erets > where <0834 >aher > ye have been scattered <6327 puwts > ,  and I will give <5414 nathan > you the land <0127 >adamah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 18 And they shall come <0935 bow> > thither <8033 sham > ,  and they shall take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > all <3605 kol > the detestable <8251 shiqquwts > things thereof and all <3605 kol > the abominations <8441 tow<ebah > thereof from thence .

 : 19 And I will give <5414 nathan > them one <0259 >echad > heart <3820 leb > ,  and I will put <5414 nathan > a new <2319 chadash > spirit <7307 ruwach > within <7130 qereb > you ;  and I will take <5493 cuwr > the stony <68> heart <3820 leb > out of their flesh <1320 basar > ,  and will give <5414 nathan > them an heart <3820 leb > of flesh <1320 basar > :

 : 20 That they may walk <3212 yalak > in my statutes <2708 chuqqah > ,  and keep <8104 shamar > mine ordinances <4941 mishpat > ,  and do <6213 <asah > them : and they shall be my people <5971 <am > ,  and I will be their God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 21 But  [ as for them ]  whose heart <3820 leb > walketh <1980 halak > after the heart <3820 leb > of their detestable <8251 shiqquwts > things and their abominations <8441 tow<ebah > ,  I will recompense <5414 nathan > their way <1870 derek > upon their own heads <7218 ro>sh > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : 22 .  Then did the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > lift <5375 nasa> > up their wings <3671 kanaph > ,  and the wheels <0212 >owphan > beside <5980 <ummah > them ;  and the glory <3519 kabowd > of the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >  [ was ]  over <5921 <al > them above <4605 ma<al > .

 : 23 And the glory <3519 kabowd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > went <5927 <alah > up from the midst <8432 tavek > of the city <5892 <iyr > ,  and stood <5975 <amad > upon the mountain <2022 har > which <0834 >aher >  [ is ]  on the east <6924 qedem > side <6954 Q@helathah > of the city <5892 <iyr > .

 : 24 Afterwards the spirit <7307 ruwach > took <5375 nasa> > me up ,  and brought <0935 bow> > me in a vision <4758 mar>eh > by the Spirit <7307 ruwach > of God <0430 >elohiym > into Chaldea <3778 Kasdiy > ,  to them of the captivity <1473 gowlah > .  So the vision <4758 mar>eh > that I had seen <7200 ra>ah > went <5927 <alah > up from me .

 : 25 Then I spake <1696 dabar > unto them of the captivity <1473 gowlah > all <3605 kol > the things <1697 dabar > that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had shewed <7200 ra>ah > me .

 : Ezekiel 12

 : 1 .  The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > also came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 2 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  thou dwellest <3427 yashab > in the midst <8432 tavek > of a rebellious <4805 m@riy > house <1004 bayith > ,  which <0834 >aher > have eyes <5869 <ayin > to see <7200 ra>ah > ,  and see <7200 ra>ah > not ;  they have ears <0241 >ozen > to hear <8085 shama< > ,  and hear <8085 shama< > not : for they  [ are ]  a rebellious <4805 m@riy > house <1004 bayith > .

 : 3 Therefore ,  thou son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  prepare <6213 <asah > thee stuff <3627 k@liy > for removing <1473 gowlah > ,  and remove <1540 galah > by day <3119 yowmam > in their sight <5869 <ayin > ;  and thou shalt remove <1540 galah > from thy place <4725 maqowm > to another <0312 >acher > place <4725 maqowm > in their sight <5869 <ayin > : it may be they will consider <7200 ra>ah > ,  though <3518 kabah > they  [ be ]  a rebellious <4805 m@riy > house <1004 bayith > .

 : 4 Then shalt thou bring <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > thy stuff <3627 k@liy > by day <3119 yowmam > in their sight <5869 <ayin > ,  as stuff <3627 k@liy > for removing <1473 gowlah > : and thou shalt go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > at even <6153 <ereb > in their sight <5869 <ayin > ,  as they that go <4161 mowtsa> > forth <4161 mowtsa> > into captivity <1473 gowlah > .

 : 5 Dig <2864 chathar > thou through the wall <7023 qiyr > in their sight<5869 <ayin > ,  and carry <3318 yatsa> > out thereby .

 : 6 In their sight <5869 <ayin > shalt thou bear <5375 nasa> >  [ it ]  upon  [ thy ]  shoulders <3802 katheph > ,   [ and ]  carry <3318 yatsa> >  [ it ]  forth <3318 yatsa> > in the twilight <5939 <alatah > : thou shalt cover <3680 kacah > thy face <6440 paniym > ,  that thou see <7200 ra>ah > not the ground <0776 >erets > : for I have set <5414 nathan > thee  [ for ]  a sign <4159 mowpheth > unto the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 7 And I did <6213 <asah > so <3651 ken > as I was commanded <6680 tsavah > : I brought <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > my stuff <3627 k@liy > by day <3119 yowmam > ,  as stuff <3627 k@liy > for captivity <1473 gowlah > ,  and in the even <6153 <ereb > I digged <2864 chathar > through the wall <7023 qiyr > with mine hand <3027 yad > ;  I brought <3318 yatsa> >  [ it ]  forth <3318 yatsa> > in the twilight <5939 <alatah > ,   [ and ]  I bare <5375 nasa> >  [ it ]  upon  [ my ]  shoulder <3802 katheph > in their sight <5869 <ayin > .

 : 8 And in the morning <1242 boqer > came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 9 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  hath not the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  the rebellious <4805 m@riy > house <1004 bayith > ,  said <0559 >amar > unto thee ,  What <4100 mah > doest <6213 <asah > thou ?

 : 10 Say <0559 >amar > thou unto them ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  This <2088 zeh > burden <4853 massa> >  [ concerneth ]  the prince <5387 nasiy> > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and all <3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > that  [ are ]  among <8432 tavek > them .

 : 11 Say <0559 >amar > ,  I  [ am ]  your sign <4159 mowpheth > : like as I have done <6213 <asah > ,  so <3651 ken > shall it be done <6213 <asah > unto them : they shall remove <5493 cuwr >  [ and ]  go <3212 yalak > into captivity <7628 sh@biy > .

 : 12 And the prince <5387 nasiy> > that  [ is ]  among <8432 tavek > them shall bear <5375 nasa> > upon  [ his ]  shoulder <3802 katheph > in the twilight <5939 <alatah > ,  and shall go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > : they shall dig <2864 chathar > through the wall <7023 qiyr > to carry <3318 yatsa> > out thereby : he shall cover <3680 kacah > his face <6440 paniym > ,  that he see <7200 ra>ah > not the ground <0776 >erets > with  [ his ]  eyes <5869 <ayin > .

 : 13 My net <7568 resheth > also will I spread <6566 paras > upon him ,  and he shall be taken <8610 taphas > in my snare <4686 matsuwd > : and I will bring <0935 bow> > him to Babylon <0894 Babel >  [ to ]  the land <0776 >erets > of the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > ;  yet shall he not see <7200 ra>ah > it ,  though he shall die <4191 muwth > there <8033 sham > .

 : 14 And I will scatter <2219 zarah > toward every <3605 kol > wind <7307 ruwach > all <3605 kol > that  [ are ]  about <5439 cabiyb > him to help <5828 <ezer > him ,  and all <3605 kol > his bands <0102 >aggaph > ;  and I will draw <7324 ruwq > out the sword <2719 chereb > after <0310 >achar > them .

 : 15 And they shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  when I shall scatter <6327 puwts > them among the nations <1471 gowy > ,  and disperse <2219 zarah > them in the countries <0776 >erets > .

 : 16 But I will leave <3498 yathar > a few <4557 micpar > men <0582 >enowsh > of them from the sword <2719 chereb > ,  from the famine <7458 ra<ab > ,  and from the pestilence <1698 deber > ;  that they may declare <5608 caphar > all <3605 kol > their abominations <8441 tow<ebah > among the heathen <1471 gowy > whither they come <0935 bow> > ;  and they shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 17 .  Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > to me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 18 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  eat <0398 >akal > thy bread <3899 lechem > with quaking <7494 ra<ash > ,  and drink <8354 shathah > thy water <4325 mayim > with trembling <7269 rogzah > and with carefulness <1674 d@>agah > ;

 : 19 And say <0559 >amar > unto the people <5971 <am > of the land <0127 >adamah > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > of the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,   [ and ]  of the land <0776 >erets > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  They shall eat <0398 >akal > their bread <3899 lechem > with carefulness <1674 d@>agah > ,  and drink <8354 shathah > their water <4325 mayim > with astonishment <8078 shimmamown > ,  that her land <0776 >erets > may be desolate <3456 yasham > from all <4393 m@lo> > that is therein <4393 m@lo> > ,  because of the violence <2555 chamac > of all <3605 kol > them that dwell <3427 yashab > therein .

 : 20 And the cities <5892 <iyr > that are inhabited <3427 yashab > shall be laid waste <2717 charab > ,  and the land <0776 >erets > shall be desolate <8077 sh@mamah > ;  and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 21 .  And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 22 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  what <4100 mah >  [ is ]  that proverb <4912 mashal >  [ that ]  ye have in the land <0127 >adamah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  The days <3117 yowm > are prolonged <0748 >arak > ,  and every <3605 kol > vision <2377 chazown > faileth <6> ?

 : 23 Tell <0559 >amar > them therefore <3651 ken > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  I will make this <2088 zeh > proverb <4912 mashal > to cease <7673 shabath > ,  and they shall no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > use <4912 mashal > it as a proverb <4911 mashal > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  but say <1696 dabar > unto them ,  The days <3117 yowm > are at <7196 qishshur > hand <7126 qarab > ,  and the effect <1697 dabar > of every <3605 kol > vision <2377 chazown > .

 : 24 For there shall be no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > any vain <7723 shav> > vision <2377 chazown > nor flattering <2509 chalaq > divination <4738 miqcam > within <8432 tavek > the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 25 For I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : I will speak <1696 dabar > ,  and the word <1697 dabar > that I shall speak <1696 dabar > shall come <6213 <asah > to pass <6213 <asah > ;  it shall be no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > prolonged <4900 mashak > : for in your days <3117 yowm > ,  O rebellious <4805 m@riy > house <1004 bayith > ,  will I say <1696 dabar > the word <1697 dabar > ,  and will perform <6213 <asah > it ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : 26 Again the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > to me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 27 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,   [ they of ]  the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > say <0559 >amar > ,  The vision <2377 chazown > that he seeth <2372 chazah >  [ is ]  for many <7227 rab > days <3117 yowm >  [ to come ]  ,  and he prophesieth <5012 naba> > of the times <6256 <eth >  [ that are ]  far <7350 rachowq > off .

 : 28 Therefore <3651 ken > say <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  There shall none <3808 lo> > of my words <1697 dabar > be prolonged <4900 mashak > any <3605 kol > more <5750 <owd > ,  but the word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > I have spoken <1696 dabar > shall be done <6213 <asah > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : Ezekiel 13

 : 1 .  And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 2 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  prophesy <5012 naba> > against <0413 >el > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > that prophesy <5012 naba> > ,  and say <0559 >amar > thou unto them that prophesy <5012 naba> > out of their own hearts <3820 leb > ,  Hear <8085 shama< > ye the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;

 : 3 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Woe <1945 howy > unto the foolish <5036 nabal > prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,  that follow their own spirit <7307 ruwach > ,  and have seen <7200 ra>ah > nothing <1115 biltiy > !

 : 4 O Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  thy prophets <5030 nabiy> > are like the foxes <7776 shuw<al > in the deserts <2723 chorbah > .

 : 5 Ye have not gone <5927 <alah > up into the gaps <6556 perets > ,  neither made <1443 gadar > up the hedge <1447 gader > for the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to stand <5975 <amad > in the battle <4421 milchamah > in the day <3117 yowm > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 6 They have seen <2372 chazah > vanity <7723 shav> > and lying <3577 kazab > divination <7081 qecem > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > saith <5002 n@>um > : and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath not sent <7971 shalach > them : and they have made  [ others ]  to hope <3176 yachal > that they would confirm <6965 quwm > the word <1697 dabar > .

 : 7 Have ye not seen <2372 chazah > a vain <7723 shav> > vision <4236 machazeh > ,  and have ye not spoken <1696 dabar > a lying <3577 kazab > divination <4738 miqcam > ,  whereas ye say <0559 >amar > ,  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > saith <5002 n@>um >  [ it ]  ;  albeit I have not spoken <0559 >amar > ?

 : 8 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Because <3282 ya<an > ye have spoken <1696 dabar > vanity <7723 shav> > ,  and seen <2372 chazah > lies <3576 kazab > ,  therefore <3651 ken > ,  behold <2005 hen > ,  I  [ am ]  against <0413 >el > you ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : 9 And mine hand <3027 yad > shall be upon the prophets <5030 nabiy> > that see <2374 chozeh > vanity <7723 shav> > ,  and that divine <7080 qacam > lies <3576 kazab > : they shall not be in the assembly <5475 cowd > of my people <5971 <am > ,  neither <3808 lo> > shall they be written <3789 kathab > in the writing <3791 kathab > of the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  neither <3808 lo> > shall they enter <0935 bow> > into the land <0127 >adamah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : 10 .  Because <3282 ya<an > ,  even because <3282 ya<an > they have seduced <2937 ta<ah > my people <5971 <am > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Peace <7965 shalowm > ;  and  [ there was ]  no <0369 >ayin > peace <7965 shalowm > ;  and one built <1129 banah > up a wall <2434 chayits > ,  and ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,  others daubed <2902 tuwach > it with untempered <8602 taphel >  [ morter ]  :

 : 12 Lo <2009 hinneh > ,  when the wall <7023 qiyr > is fallen <5307 naphal > ,  shall it not be said <0559 >amar > unto you ,  Where <0346 >ayeh >  [ is ]  the daubing <2915 tiyach > wherewith <0834 >aher > ye have daubed <2902 tuwach >  [ it ]  ?

 : 13 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  I will even rend <1234 baqa< >  [ it ]  with a stormy <5591 ca<ar > wind <7307 ruwach > in my fury <2534 chemah > ;  and there shall be an overflowing <7857 shataph > shower <1653 geshem > in mine anger <0639 >aph > ,  and great <0417 >elgabiysh > hailstones in  [ my ]  fury <2534 chemah > to consume <3615 kalah >  [ it ]  .

 : 14 So will I break <2040 harac > down <2040 harac > the wall <7023 qiyr > that ye have daubed <2902 tuwach > with untempered <8602 taphel >  [ morter ]  ,  and bring <5060 naga< > it down to the ground <0776 >erets > ,  so that the foundation <3247 y@cowd > thereof shall be discovered <1540 galah > ,  and it shall fall <5307 naphal > ,  and ye shall be consumed <3615 kalah > in the midst <8432 tavek > thereof : and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 15 Thus will I accomplish <3615 kalah > my wrath <2534 chemah > upon the wall <7023 qiyr > ,  and upon them that have daubed <2902 tuwach > it with untempered <8602 taphel >  [ morter ]  ,  and will say <0559 >amar > unto you ,  The wall <7023 qiyr >  [ is ]  no <0369 >ayin >  [ more ]  ,  neither <0369 >ayin > they that daubed <2902 tuwach > it ;

 : 20 Wherefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I  [ am ]  against <0413 >el > your pillows <3704 keceth > ,  wherewith <0834 >aher > ye there <8033 sham > hunt <6679 tsuwd > the souls <5315 nephesh > to make  [ them ]  fly <6524 parach > ,  and I will tear <7167 qara< > them from your arms <2220 z@rowa< > ,  and will let the souls <5315 nephesh > go <7971 shalach > ,   [ even ]  the souls <5315 nephesh > that ye hunt <6679 tsuwd > to make  [ them ]  fly <6524 parach > .

 : 7 I have caused <5414 nathan > thee to multiply <7233 r@babah > as the bud <6779 tsamach > of the field <7704 sadeh > ,  and thou hast increased <7235 rabah > and waxen great <1431 gadal > ,  and thou art come <0935 bow> > to excellent <5716 <adiy > ornaments <5716 <adiy > :  [ thy ]  breasts <7699 shad > are fashioned <3559 kuwn > ,  and thine hair <8181 se<ar > is grown <6779 tsamach > ,  whereas thou  [ wast ]  naked <5903 <eyrom > and bare <6181 <eryah > .

 : 8 Now when I passed <5674 <abar > by thee ,  and looked <7200 ra>ah > uponthee ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  thy time <6256 <eth >  [ was ]  the time <6256 <eth > of love <1730 dowd > ;  and I spread <6566 paras > my skirt <3671 kanaph > over <5921 <al > thee ,  and covered <3680 kacah > thy nakedness <6172 <ervah > : yea ,  I sware <7650 shaba< > unto thee ,  and entered <0935 bow> > into a covenant <1285 b@riyth > with thee ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ,  and thou becamest <1961 hayah > mine .

 : 9 Then washed <7364 rachats > I thee with water <4325 mayim > ;  yea ,  I throughly washed <7857 shataph > away thy blood <1818 dam > from thee ,  and I anointed <5480 cuwk > thee with oil <8081 shemen > .

 : 10 I clothed <3847 labash > thee also with broidered <7553 riqmah > work <7553 riqmah > ,  and shod <5274 na<al > thee with badgers <8476 tachash >  skin ,  and I girded <2280 chabash > thee about with fine linen <8336 shesh > ,  and I covered <3680 kacah > thee with silk <4897 meshiy > .

 : 11 I decked <5710 <adah > thee also with ornaments <5716 <adiy > ,  and I put <5414 nathan > bracelets <6781 tsamiyd > upon thy hands <3027 yad > ,  and a chain <7242 rabiyd > on <5921 <al > thy neck <1627 garown > .

 : 12 And I put <5414 nathan > a jewel <5141 nexem > on <5921 <al > thy forehead <0639 >aph > ,  and earrings <5694 <agiyl > in thine ears <0241 >ozen > ,  and a beautiful <8597 tiph>arah > crown <5850 <atarah > upon thine head <7218 ro>sh > .

 : 13 Thus wast thou decked <5710 <adah > with gold <2091 zahab > and silver <3701 keceph > ;  and thy raiment <4403 malbuwsh >  [ was of ]  fine linen <8336 shesh > ,  and silk <4897 meshiy > ,  and broidered <7553 riqmah > work <7553 riqmah > ;  thou didst eat <0398 >akal > fine flour <5560 coleth > ,  and honey <1706 d@bash > ,  and oil <8081 shemen > : and thou wast exceeding <3966 m@<od > beautiful <3303 yapheh > ,  and thou didst prosper <6743 tsalach > into a kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > .

 : 14 And thy renown <8034 shem > went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > among the heathen <1471 gowy > for thy beauty <3308 yophiy > : for it  [ was ]  perfect <3632 kaliyl > through my comeliness <1926 hadar > ,  which <0834 >aher > I had put <7760 suwm > upon thee ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : 15 .  But thou didst trust <0982 batach > in thine own beauty <3308 yophiy > ,  and playedst the harlot <2181 zanah > because <5921 <al > of thy renown <8034 shem > ,  and pouredst <8210 shaphak > out thy fornications <8457 taznuwth > on every <3605 kol > one that passed <5674 <abar > by ;  his it was .

 : 16 And of thy garments <0899 beged > thou didst take <3947 laqach > ,  and deckedst <6213 <asah > thy high <1116 bamah > places with divers <2921 tala> > colours <2921 tala> > ,  and playedst the harlot <2181 zanah > thereupon :  [ the like things ]  shall not come <0935 bow> > ,  neither <3808 lo> > shall it be  [ so ]  .

 : 17 Thou hast also taken <3947 laqach > thy fair <8597 tiph>arah > jewels <3627 k@liy > of my gold <2091 zahab > and of my silver <3701 keceph > ,  which <0834 >aher > I had given <5414 nathan > thee ,  and madest <6213 <asah > to thyself images <6754 tselem > of men <2145 zakar > ,  and didst commit <2181 zanah > whoredom <2181 zanah > with them ,

 : 18 And tookest <3947 laqach > thy broidered <7553 riqmah > garments <0899 beged > ,  and coveredst them : and thou hast set <5414 nathan > mine oil <8081 shemen > and mine incense <7004 q@toreth > before <6440 paniym > them .

 : 19 My meat <3899 lechem > also which <0834 >aher > I gave <5414 nathan > thee ,  fine flour <5560 coleth > ,  and oil <8081 shemen > ,  and honey <1706 d@bash > ,   [ wherewith ]  I fed <0398 >akal > thee ,  thou hast even set <5414 nathan > it before <6440 paniym > them for a sweet <5207 nichowach > savour <7381 reyach > : and  [ thus ]  it was ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : 20 Moreover thou hast taken <3947 laqach > thy sons <1121 ben > and thy daughters <1121 ben > ,  whom <0834 >aher > thou hast borne <3205 yalad > unto me ,  and these hast thou sacrificed <2076 zabach > unto them to be devoured <0398 >akal > .   [ Is this ]  of thy whoredoms <8457 taznuwth > a small <4592 m@<at > matter ,

 : 21 That thou hast slain <7819 shachat > my children <1121 ben > ,  and delivered <5414 nathan > them to cause them to pass <5674 <abar > through  [ the fire ]  for them ?

 : 22 And in all <3605 kol > thine abominations <8441 tow<ebah > and thy whoredoms <8457 taznuwth > thou hast not remembered <2142 zakar > the days <3117 yowm > of thy youth <5271 na<uwr > ,  when thou wast <1961 hayah > naked <5903 <eyrom > and bare <6181 <eryah > ,   [ and ]  wast <1961 hayah > polluted <0947 buwc > in thy blood <1818 dam > .

 : 23 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <0310 >achar > all <3605 kol > thy wickedness <7451 ra< > ,   ( woe ,  woe <0188 >owy > unto thee !  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  )

 : 24  [ That ]  thou hast also built <1129 banah > unto thee an eminent <1354 gab > place ,  and hast made <6213 <asah > thee an high <7413 ramah > place in every <3605 kol > street <7339 r@chob > .

 : 25 Thou hast built <1129 banah > thy high <7413 ramah > place at <0413 >el > every <3605 kol > head <7218 ro>sh > of the way <1870 derek > ,  and hast made thy beauty <3308 yophiy > to be abhorred <8581 ta<ab > ,  and hast opened <6589 pasaq > thy feet <7272 regel > to every <3605 kol > one that passed <5674 <abar > by ,  and multiplied <7235 rabah > thy whoredoms <8457 taznuwth > .

 : 26 Thou hast also committed <2181 zanah > fornication <2181 zanah > with the Egyptians <4714 Mitsrayim > thy neighbours <7934 shaken > ,  great <1432 gadel > of flesh <1320 basar > ;  and hast increased <7235 rabah > thy whoredoms <8457 taznuwth > ,  to provoke me to anger <3707 ka<ac > .

 : 27 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  therefore I have stretched <5186 natah > out my hand <3027 yad > over <5921 <al > thee ,  and have diminished <1639 gara< > thine ordinary <2706 choq >  [ food ]  ,  and delivered <5414 nathan > thee unto the will <5314 naphash > of them that hate <8130 sane> > thee ,  the daughters <1121 ben > of the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy > ,  which are ashamed <3637 kalam > of thy lewd <2154 zimmah > way <1870 derek > .

 : 28 Thou hast played the whore <2181 zanah > also with the Assyrians <0804 >Ashshuwr > ,  because <1115 biltiy > thou wast unsatiable ;  yea ,  thou hast played the harlot <2181 zanah > with them ,  and yet couldest not be satisfied <7646 saba< > .

 : 29 Thou hast moreover multiplied <7235 rabah > thy fornication <8457 taznuwth > in the land <0776 >erets > of Canaan <3667 K@na<an > unto Chaldea <3778 Kasdiy > ;  and yet <1571 gam > thou wast not satisfied <7646 saba< > herewith .

 : 30 How <4100 mah > weak <0535 >amal > is thine heart <3826 libbah > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ,  seeing thou doest <6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  ,  the work <4639 ma<aseh > of an imperious <7986 shalleteth > whorish <2181 zanah > woman <0802 >ishshah > ;

 : 31 In that thou buildest <1129 banah > thine eminent <1354 gab > place in the head <7218 ro>sh > of every <3605 kol > way <1870 derek > ,  and makest <6213 <asah > thine high <7413 ramah > place in every <3605 kol > street <7339 r@chob > ;  and hast not been <1961 hayah > as an harlot <2181 zanah > ,  in that thou scornest <7046 qalac > hire <0868 >ethnan > ;

 : 32  [ But as ]  a wife <0802 >ishshah > that committeth <5003 na>aph > adultery <5003 na>aph > ,   [ which ]  taketh <3947 laqach > strangers <2114 zuwr > instead <8478 tachath > of her husband <0376 >iysh > !

 : 33 They give <5414 nathan > gifts <5078 nedeh > to all <3605 kol > whores <2181 zanah > : but thou givest <5414 nathan > thy gifts <5083 nadan > to all <3605 kol > thy lovers <0157 >ahab > ,  and hirest <7806 shazar > them ,  that they may come <0935 bow> > unto thee on every <5437 cabab > side <5439 cabiyb > for thy whoredom <8457 taznuwth > .

 : 34 And the contrary <2016 hephek > is in thee from  [ other ]  women <0802 >ishshah > in thy whoredoms <8457 taznuwth > ,  whereas none <3808 lo> > followeth <0310 >achar > thee to commit <2181 zanah > whoredoms <2181 zanah > : and in that thou givest <5414 nathan > a reward <0868 >ethnan > ,  and no <3808 lo> > reward <0868 >ethnan > is given <5414 nathan > unto thee ,  therefore thou art contrary <2016 hephek > .

 : 35 .  Wherefore <3651 ken > ,  O harlot <2181 zanah > ,  hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > :

 : 36 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Because <3282 ya<an > thy filthiness <5178 n@chosheth > was poured <8210 shaphak > out ,  and thy nakedness <6172 <ervah > discovered <1540 galah > through thy whoredoms <8457 taznuwth > with thy lovers <0157 >ahab > ,  and with all <3605 kol > the idols <1544 gilluwl > of thy abominations <8441 tow<ebah > ,  and by the blood <1818 dam > of thy children <1121 ben > ,  which <0834 >aher > thou didst give <5414 nathan > unto them ;

 : 37 Behold <2005 hen > ,  therefore <3651 ken > I will gather <6908 qabats > all <3605 kol > thy lovers <0157 >ahab > ,  with whom <0834 >aher > thou hast taken pleasure <6148 <arab > ,  and all <3605 kol >  [ them ]  that thou hast loved <0157 >ahab > ,  with all <3605 kol >  [ them ]  that thou hast hated <8130 sane> > ;  I will even gather <6908 qabats > them round <5439 cabiyb > about against <5921 <al > thee ,  and will discover <1540 galah > thy nakedness <6172 <ervah > unto them ,  that they may see <7200 ra>ah > all <3605 kol > thy nakedness <6172 <ervah > .

 : 38 And I will judge <8199 shaphat > thee ,  as women that break <5003 na>aph > wedlock <5003 na>aph > and shed <8210 shaphak > blood <1818 dam > are judged <4941 mishpat > ;  and I will give <5414 nathan > thee blood <1818 dam > in fury <2534 chemah > and jealousy <7068 qin>ah > .

 : 39 And I will also give <5414 nathan > thee into their hand <3027 yad > ,  and they shall throw <2040 harac > down <2040 harac > thine eminent <1354 gab > place ,  and shall break <5422 nathats > down <5422 nathats > thy high <7413 ramah > places : they shall strip <6584 pashat > thee also of thy clothes <0899 beged > ,  and shall take <3947 laqach > thy fair <8597 tiph>arah > jewels <3627 k@liy > ,  and leave <3241 Yaniym > thee naked <5903 <eyrom > and bare <6181 <eryah > .

 : 40 They shall also bring <5927 <alah > up a company <6951 qahal > against <5921 <al > thee ,  and they shall stone <7275 ragam > thee with stones <68> ,  and thrust <1333 bathaq > thee through with their swords <2719 chereb > .

 : 41 And they shall burn <8313 saraph > thine houses <1004 bayith > with fire <0784 >esh > ,  and execute <6213 <asah > judgments <8201 shephet > upon thee in the sight <5869 <ayin > of many <7227 rab > women <0802 >ishshah > : and I will cause thee to cease <7673 shabath > from playing the harlot <2181 zanah > ,  and thou also <1571 gam > shalt give <5414 nathan > no <3808 lo> > hire <0868 >ethnan > any more <5750 <owd > .

 : 42 So will I make my fury <2534 chemah > toward thee to rest <5117 nuwach > ,  and my jealousy <7068 qin>ah > shall depart <5493 cuwr > from thee ,  and I will be quiet <8252 shaqat > ,  and will be no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > angry <3707 ka<ac > .

 : 43 Because thou hast not remembered <2142 zakar > the days <3117 yowm > of thy youth <5271 na<uwr > ,  but hast fretted <7264 ragaz > me in all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  ;  behold <1887 he> > ,  therefore I also <1571 gam > will recompense <5414 nathan > thy way <1870 derek > upon  [ thine ]  head <7218 ro>sh > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > : and thou shalt not commit <6213 <asah > this lewdness <2154 zimmah > above <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > thine abominations <8441 tow<ebah > .

 : 44 .  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  every <3605 kol > one that useth proverbs <4911 mashal > shall use <4911 mashal >  [ this ]  proverb <4911 mashal > against <5921 <al > thee ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  As  [ is ]  the mother <0517 >em > ,   [ so is ]  her daughter <1323 bath > .

 : 45 Thou  [ art ]  thy mother s <0517 >em > daughter <1323 bath > ,  that lotheth <1602 ga<al > her husband <0376 >iysh > and her children <1121 ben > ;  and thou  [ art ]  the sister <0269 >achowth > of thy sisters <0269 >achowth > ,  which <0834 >aher > lothed <1602 ga<al > their husbands <0582 >enowsh > and their children <1121 ben > : your mother <0517 >em >  [ was ]  an Hittite <2850 Chittiy > ,  and your father <1> an Amorite <0567 >Emoriy > .

 : 46 And thine elder <1419 gadowl > sister <0269 >achowth >  [ is ]  Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > ,  she and her daughters <1121 ben > that dwell <3427 yashab > at <5921 <al > thy left <8040 s@mo>wl > hand <8040 s@mo>wl > : and thy younger <6996 qatan > sister <0269 >achowth > ,  that dwelleth <3427 yashab > at thy right <3225 yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > ,   [ is ]  Sodom <5467 C@dom > and her daughters <1121 ben > .

 : 47 Yet hast thou not walked <1980 halak > after their ways <1870 derek > ,  nor done <6213 <asah > after their abominations <8441 tow<ebah > : but ,  as  [ if that were ]  a very <6985 qat > little <4592 m@<at >  [ thing ]  ,  thou wast corrupted <7843 shachath > more than they in all <3605 kol > thy ways <1870 derek > .

 : 48  [ As ]  I live <2416 chay > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ,  Sodom <5467 C@dom > thy sister <0269 >achowth > hath not done <6213 <asah > ,  she nor her daughters <1121 ben > ,  as thou hast done <6213 <asah > ,  thou and thy daughters <1121 ben > .

 : 49 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  this <2088 zeh > was the iniquity <5771 <avon > of thy sister <0269 >achowth > Sodom <5467 C@dom > ,  pride <1347 ga>own > ,  fulness <7653 sib<ah > of bread <3899 lechem > ,  and abundance <7962 shalvah > of idleness <8252 shaqat > was in her and in her daughters <1121 ben > ,  neither <3808 lo> > did she strengthen <2388 chazaq > the hand <3027 yad > of the poor <6041 <aniy > and needy <34> .

 : 50 And they were haughty <1361 gabahh > ,  and committed <6213 <asah > abomination <8441 tow<ebah > before <6440 paniym > me : therefore I took <5493 cuwr > them away <5493 cuwr > as I saw <7200 ra>ah >  [ good ]  .

 : 51 Neither <3808 lo> > hath Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > committed <2398 chata> > half <2677 chetsiy > of thy sins <2403 chatta>ah > ;  but thou hast multiplied <7235 rabah > thine abominations <8441 tow<ebah > more than they ,  and hast justified <6663 tsadaq > thy sisters <0269 >achowth > in all <3605 kol > thine abominations <8441 tow<ebah > which <0834 >aher > thou hast done <6213 <asah > .

 : 52 Thou also <1571 gam > ,  which <0834 >aher > hast judged <6419 palal > thy sisters <0269 >achowth > ,  bear <5375 nasa> > thine own shame <3639 k@limmah > for thy sins <2403 chatta>ah > that thou hast committed <8581 ta<ab > more abominable <8581 ta<ab > than they : they are more righteous <6663 tsadaq > than thou : yea <1571 gam > ,  be thou confounded <0954 buwsh > also <1571 gam > ,  and bear <5375 nasa> > thy shame <3639 k@limmah > ,  in that thou hast justified <6663 tsadaq > thy sisters <0269 >achowth > .

 : 53 When I shall bring <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > their captivity <7622 sh@buwth > ,  the captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of Sodom <5467 C@dom > and her daughters <1121 ben > ,  and the captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > and her daughters <1121 ben > ,  then  [ will I bring again ]  the captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of thy captives <7628 sh@biy > in the midst <8432 tavek > of them :

 : 54 That thou mayest bear <5375 nasa> > thine own shame <3639 k@limmah > ,  and mayest be confounded <3637 kalam > in all <3605 kol > that thou hast done <6213 <asah > ,  in that thou art a comfort <5162 nacham > unto them .

 : 55 When thy sisters <0269 >achowth > ,  Sodom <5467 C@dom > and her daughters <1121 ben > ,  shall return <7725 shuwb > to their former <6927 qadmah > estate ,  and Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > and her daughters <1121 ben > shall return <7725 shuwb > to their former <6927 qadmah > estate <3653 ken > ,  then thou and thy daughters <1121 ben > shall return <7725 shuwb > to your former <6927 qadmah > estate .

 : 56 For thy sister <0269 >achowth > Sodom <5467 C@dom > was not mentioned <8052 sh@muw<ah > by thy mouth <6310 peh > in the day <3117 yowm > of thy pride <1347 ga>own > ,

 : 57 Before <2962 terem > thy wickedness <7451 ra< > was discovered <1540 galah > ,  as at the time <6256 <eth > of  [ thy ]  reproach <2781 cherpah > of the daughters <1121 ben > of Syria <0758 >Aram > ,  and all <3605 kol >  [ that are ]  round <5439 cabiyb > about her ,  the daughters <1121 ben > of the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy > ,  which despise <7590 sha>t > thee round <5439 cabiyb > about .

 : 58 Thou hast borne <5375 nasa> > thy lewdness <2154 zimmah > and thine abominations <8441 tow<ebah > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 59 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD<3069 Y@hovih > ;  I will even deal <6213 <asah > with thee as thou hast done <6213 <asah > ,  which <0834 >aher > hast despised <0959 bazah > the oath <0423 >alah > in breaking <6565 parar > the covenant <1285 b@riyth > .

 : 60 .  Nevertheless I will remember <2142 zakar > my covenant <1285 b@riyth > with thee in the days <3117 yowm > of thy youth <5271 na<uwr > ,  and I will establish <6965 quwm > unto thee an everlasting <5769 <owlam > covenant <1285 b@riyth > .

 : 61 Then thou shalt remember <2142 zakar > thy ways <1870 derek > ,  and be ashamed <3637 kalam > ,  when thou shalt receive <3947 laqach > thy sisters <0269 >achowth > ,  thine elder <1419 gadowl > and thy younger <6996 qatan > : and I will give <5414 nathan > them unto thee for daughters <1121 ben > ,  but not by thy covenant <1285 b@riyth > .

 : 62 And I will establish <6965 quwm > my covenant <1285 b@riyth > with thee ;  and thou shalt know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > :

 : Ezekiel 17

 : 1 .  And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 2 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  put <2330 chuwd > forth <2330 chuwd > a riddle <2420 chiydah > ,  and speak <4911 mashal > a parable <4912 mashal > unto the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;

 : 3 And say <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  A great <1419 gadowl > eagle <5404 nesher > with great <1419 gadowl > wings <3671 kanaph > ,  longwinged ,  full <4392 male> > of feathers <5133 nowtsah > ,  which <0834 >aher > had divers <7553 riqmah > colours <7553 riqmah > ,  came <0935 bow> > unto Lebanon <3844 L@banown > ,  and took <3947 laqach > the highest <6788 tsammereth > branch <6788 tsammereth > of the cedar <0730 >erez > :

 : 4 He cropped <6998 qataph > off the top <7218 ro>sh > of his young <3242 y@niqah > twigs <3242 y@niqah > ,  and carried <0935 bow> > it into a land <0776 >erets > of traffick <3667 K@na<an > ;  he set <7760 suwm > it in a city <5892 <iyr > of merchants <7402 rakal > .

 : 5 He took <3947 laqach > also of the seed <2233 zera< > of the land <0776 >erets > ,  and planted it in a fruitful <2233 zera< > field <7704 sadeh > ;  he placed <3947 laqach >  [ it ]  by great <7227 rab > waters <4325 mayim > ,   [ and ]  set <7760 suwm > it  [ as ]  a willow <6851 tsaphtsaphah > tree .

 : 6 And it grew <6779 tsamach > ,  and became <1961 hayah > a spreading <5627 carah > vine <1612 gephen > of low <8217 shaphal > stature <6967 qowmah > ,  whose branches <1808 daliyah > turned <6437 panah > toward <0413 >el > him ,  and the roots <8328 sheresh > thereof were under <8478 tachath > him : so it became <1961 hayah > a vine <1612 gephen > ,  and brought <5375 nasa> > forth <6213 <asah > branches <0905 bad > ,  and shot <7971 shalach > forth sprigs <6288 p@>orah > .

 : 7 There was also another <0259 >echad > great <1419 gadowl > eagle <5404 nesher > with great <1419 gadowl > wings <3671 kanaph > and many <7227 rab > feathers <5133 nowtsah > : and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  this <2063 zo>th > vine <1612 gephen > did bend <3719 kaphan > her roots <8328 sheresh > toward <5921 <al > him ,  and shot <7971 shalach > forth her branches <1808 daliyah > toward <5921 <al > him ,  that he might water <8248 shaqah > it by the furrows <6170 <aruwgah > of her plantation <4302 matta< > .

 : 8 It was planted <8362 shathal > in a good <2896 towb > soil <7704 sadeh > by great <7227 rab > waters <4325 mayim > ,  that it might bring <6213 <asah > forth <6213 <asah > branches <6057 <anaph > ,  and that it might bear <5375 nasa> > fruit <6529 p@riy > ,  that it might be a goodly <0155 >addereth > vine <1612 gephen > .

 : 9 Say <0559 >amar > thou ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Shall it prosper <6743 tsalach > ?  shall he not pull <5423 nathaq > up the roots <8328 sheresh > thereof ,  and cut <7082 qacac > off the fruit <6529 p@riy > thereof ,  that it wither <3001 yabesh > ?  it shall wither <3001 yabesh > in all <3605 kol > the leaves <2964 tereph > of her spring <6780 tsemach > ,  even without <3808 lo> > great <1419 gadowl > power <2220 z@rowa< > or many <7227 rab > people <5971 <am > to pluck <5375 nasa> > it up by the roots <8328 sheresh > thereof .

 : 10 Yea ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,   [ being ]  planted <8362 shathal > ,  shall it prosper <6743 tsalach > ?  shall it not utterly wither <3001 yabesh > ,  when the east <6921 qadiym > wind <7307 ruwach > toucheth <5060 naga< > it ?  it shall wither <3001 yabesh > in the furrows <6170 <aruwgah > where <5921 <al > it grew <6780 tsemach > .

 : 11 Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 12 Say <0559 >amar > now <4994 na> > to the rebellious <4805 m@riy > house <1004 bayith > ,  Know <3045 yada< > ye not what <4100 mah > these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things mean ]  ?  tell <0559 >amar >  [ them ]  ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > is come <0935 bow> > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and hath taken <3947 laqach > the king <4428 melek > thereof ,  and the princes <8269 sar > thereof ,  and led <0935 bow> > them with him to Babylon <0894 Babel > ;

 : 13 And hath taken <3947 laqach > of the king s <4410 m@luwkah > seed <2233 zera< > ,  and made <3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth > with him ,  and hath taken <0935 bow> > an oath <0423 >alah > of him : he hath also taken <3947 laqach > the mighty <0352 >ayil > of the land <0776 >erets > :

 : 14 That the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > might be base <8217 shaphal > ,  that it might not lift <5375 nasa> > itself up ,   [ but ]  that by keeping <8104 shamar > of his covenant <1285 b@riyth > it might stand <5975 <amad > .

 : 15 But he rebelled <4775 marad > against him in sending <7971 shalach > his ambassadors <4397 mal>ak > into Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  that they might give <5414 nathan > him horses <5483 cuwc > and much <7227 rab > people <5971 <am > .  Shall he prosper <6743 tsalach > ?  shall he escape <4422 malat > that doeth <6213 <asah > such <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  ?  or shall he break <6565 parar > the covenant <1285 b@riyth > ,  and be delivered <4422 malat > ?

 : 16  [ As ]  I live <2416 chay > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ,  surely in the place <4725 maqowm >  [ where ]  the king <4428 melek >  [ dwelleth ]  that made him king <4427 malak > ,  whose oath <0423 >alah > he despised <0959 bazah > ,  and whose <0853 >eth > covenant <1285 b@riyth > he brake <6565 parar > ,   [ even ]  with him in the midst <8432 tavek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > he shall die <4191 muwth > .

 : 17 Neither <3808 lo> > shall Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > with  [ his ]  mighty <1419 gadowl > army <2428 chayil > and great <7227 rab > company <6951 qahal > make <6213 <asah > for him in the war <4421 milchamah > ,  by casting <8210 shaphak > up mounts <5550 col@lah > ,  and building <1129 banah > forts <1785 dayeq > ,  to cut <3772 karath > off many <7227 rab > persons <5315 nephesh > :

 : 18 Seeing he despised <0959 bazah > the oath <0423 >alah > by breaking <6565 parar > the covenant <1285 b@riyth > ,  when ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,  he had given <5414 nathan > his hand <3027 yad > ,  and hath done <6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  ,  he shall not escape <4422 malat > .

 : 19 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;   [ As ]  I live <2416 chay > ,  surely mine oath <0423 >alah > that he hath despised <0959 bazah > ,  and my covenant <1285 b@riyth > that he hath broken <6331 puwr > ,  even it will I recompense <5414 nathan > upon his own head <7218 ro>sh > .

 : 20 And I will spread <6566 paras > my net <7568 resheth > upon him ,  and he shall be taken <8610 taphas > in my snare <4686 matsuwd > ,  and I will bring <0935 bow> > him to Babylon <0894 Babel > ,  and will plead <8199 shaphat > with him there <8033 sham > for his trespass <4604 ma<al > that he hath trespassed <4604 ma<al > against me .

 : 21 And all <3605 kol > his fugitives <4015 mibrach > with all <3605 kol > his bands <0102 >aggaph > shall fall <5307 naphal > by the sword <2719 chereb > ,  and they that remain <7604 sha>ar > shall be scattered <6566 paras > toward all <3605 kol > winds <7307 ruwach > : and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > have spoken <1696 dabar >  [ it ]  .

 : 22 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  I will also take <3947 laqach > of the highest <6788 tsammereth > branch <6788 tsammereth > of the high <7311 ruwm > cedar <0730 >erez > ,  and will set <5414 nathan >  [ it ]  ;  I will crop <6998 qataph > off from the top <7218 ro>sh > of his young <3127 yowneqeth > twigs <3127 yowneqeth > a tender <7390 rak > one ,  and will plant <8362 shathal >  [ it ]  upon an high <1364 gaboahh > mountain <2022 har > and eminent <8524 talal > :

 : 23 In the mountain <2022 har > of the height <4791 marowm > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > will I plant <8362 shathal > it : and it shall bring <5375 nasa> > forth <5375 nasa> > boughs <6057 <anaph > ,  and bear <6213 <asah > fruit <6529 p@riy > ,  and be a goodly <0117 >addiyr > cedar <0730 >erez > : and under <8478 tachath > it shall dwell <7931 shakan > all <3605 kol > fowl <6833 tsippowr > of every <3605 kol > wing <3671 kanaph > ;  in the shadow <6738 tsel > of the branches <1808 daliyah > thereof shall they dwell <7931 shakan > .

 : 24 And all <3605 kol > the trees <6086 <ets > of the field <7704 sadeh > shall know <3045 yada< > that I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > have brought <8213 shaphel > down <8213 shaphel > the high <1364 gaboahh > tree <6086 <ets > ,  have exalted <1361 gabahh > the low <8217 shaphal > tree <6086 <ets > ,  have dried <3001 yabesh > up the green <3892 lach > tree <6086 <ets > ,  and have made the dry <3002 yabesh > tree <6086 <ets > to flourish <6524 parach > : I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > have spoken <1696 dabar > and have done <6213 <asah >  [ it ]  .

 : Ezekiel 18

 : 1 .  The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me again ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 2 What <4100 mah > mean ye ,  that ye use <4911 mashal > this <2088 zeh > proverb <4911 mashal > concerning <5921 <al > the land <0127 >adamah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  The fathers <1> have eaten <0398 >akal > sour <1155 bocer > grapes <1154 becer > ,  and the children s <1121 ben > teeth <8127 shen > are set on edge <6949 qahah > ?

 : 3  [ As ]  I live <2416 chay > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ,  ye shall not have  [ occasion ]  any more <5750 <owd > to use <4911 mashal > this <2088 zeh > proverb <4911 mashal > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 4 Behold <2005 hen > ,  all <3605 kol > souls <5315 nephesh > are mine ;  as the soul <5315 nephesh > of the father <1> ,  so also the soul <5315 nephesh > of the son <1121 ben > is mine : the soul <5315 nephesh > that sinneth <2398 chata> > ,  it shall die <4191 muwth > .

 : 5 But if <3588 kiy > a man <0376 >iysh > be just <6662 tsaddiyq > ,  and do <6213 <asah > that which is lawful <4941 mishpat > and right <6666 ts@daqah > ,

 : 6  [ And ]  hath not eaten <0398 >akal > upon the mountains <2022 har > ,  neither <3808 lo> > hath lifted <5375 nasa> > up his eyes <5869 <ayin > to the idols <1544 gilluwl > of the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  neither <3808 lo> > hath defiled <2930 tame> > his neighbour s <7453 rea< > wife <0802 >ishshah > ,  neither <3808 lo> > hath come <7126 qarab > near <7126 qarab > to a menstruous <5079 niddah > woman <0802 >ishshah > ,

 : 7 And hath not oppressed <3238 yanah > any <0376 >iysh > ,   [ but ]  hath restored <7725 shuwb > to the debtor <2326 chowb > his pledge <2258 chabol > ,  hath spoiled <1497 gazal > none <3808 lo> > by violence <1500 g@zelah > ,  hath given <5414 nathan > his bread <3899 lechem > to the hungry <7456 ra<eb > ,  and hath covered <3680 kacah > the naked <5903 <eyrom > with a garment <0899 beged > ;

 : 8 He  [ that ]  hath not given <5414 nathan > forth upon usury <5392 neshek > ,  neither <3808 lo> > hath taken <3947 laqach > any increase <8635 tarbuwth > ,   [ that ]  hath withdrawn <7725 shuwb > his hand <3027 yad > from iniquity <5766 <evel > ,  hath executed <6213 <asah > true <0571 >emeth > judgment <4941 mishpat > between <0996 beyn > man <0376 >iysh > and man <0376 >iysh > ,

 : 9 Hath walked <1980 halak > in my statutes <2708 chuqqah > ,  and hath kept <8104 shamar > my judgments <4941 mishpat > ,  to deal <6213 <asah > truly <0571 >emeth > ;  he  [ is ]  just <6662 tsaddiyq > ,  he shall surely live <2421 chayah > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : 10 .  If he beget <3205 yalad > a son <1121 ben >  [ that is ]  a robber <6530 p@riyts > ,  a shedder <8210 shaphak > of blood <1818 dam > ,  and  [ that ]  doeth <6213 <asah > the like <0251 >ach > to  [ any ]  one <0259 >echad > of these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  ,

 : 11 And that doeth <6213 <asah > not any <3605 kol > of those <0428 >el - leh >  [ duties ]  ,  but even <1571 gam > hath eaten <0398 >akal > upon the mountains <2022 har > ,  and defiled <2930 tame> > his neighbour s <7453 rea< > wife <0802 >ishshah > ,

 : 12 Hath oppressed <3238 yanah > the poor <6041 <aniy > and needy <34> ,  hath spoiled <1497 gazal > by violence <1500 g@zelah > ,  hath not restored <7725 shuwb > the pledge <2258 chabol > ,  and hath lifted <5375 nasa> > up his eyes <5869 <ayin > to the idols <1544 gilluwl > ,  hath committed <6213 <asah > abomination <8441 tow<ebah > ,

 : 13 Hath given <5414 nathan > forth upon usury <5392 neshek > ,  and hath taken <3947 laqach > increase <8635 tarbuwth > : shall he then live <2425 chayay > ?  he shall not live <2421 chayah > : he hath done <6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh > abominations <8441 tow<ebah > ;  he shall surely die <4191 muwth > ;  his blood <1818 dam > shall be upon him .

 : 14 Now ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,   [ if ]  he beget <3205 yalad > a son <1121 ben > ,  that seeth <7200 ra>ah > all <3605 kol > his father s <1> sins <2403 chatta>ah > which <0834 >aher > he hath done <6213 <asah > ,  and considereth <7200 ra>ah > ,  and doeth <6213 <asah > not such <2007 hennah > like ,

 : 15  [ That ]  hath not eaten <0398 >akal > upon the mountains <2022 har > ,  neither <3808 lo> > hath lifted <5375 nasa> > up his eyes <5869 <ayin > to the idols <1544 gilluwl > of the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  hath not defiled <2930 tame> > his neighbour s <7453 rea< > wife <0802 >ishshah > ,

 : 16 Neither <3808 lo> > hath oppressed <3238 yanah > any <0376 >iysh > ,  hath not withholden <2254 chabal > the pledge <2258 chabol > ,  neither <3808 lo> > hath spoiled <1497 gazal > by violence <1500 g@zelah > ,   [ but ]  hath given <5414 nathan > his bread <3899 lechem > to the hungry <7456 ra<eb > ,  and hath covered <3680 kacah > the naked <5903 <eyrom > with a garment <0899 beged > ,

 : 17  [ That ]  hath taken <7725 shuwb > off his hand <3027 yad > from the poor<6041 <aniy > ,   [ that ]  hath not received <3947 laqach > usury <5392 neshek > nor increase <8635 tarbuwth > ,  hath executed <6213 <asah > my judgments <4941 mishpat > ,  hath walked <1980 halak > in my statutes <2708 chuqqah > ;  he shall not die <4191 muwth > for the iniquity <5771 <avon > of his father <1> ,  he shall surely live <2421 chayah > .

 : 18  [ As for ]  his father <1> ,  because <3588 kiy > he cruelly <6233 <osheq > oppressed <6231 <ashaq > ,  spoiled <1497 gazal > his brother <0251 >ach > by violence <1499 gezel > ,  and did <6213 <asah >  [ that ]  which <0834 >aher >  [ is ]  not good <2896 towb > among <8432 tavek > his people <5971 <am > ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,  even he shall die <4191 muwth > in his iniquity <5771 <avon > .

 : 19 Yet say <0559 >amar > ye ,  Why <4069 madduwa< > ?  doth not the son <1121 ben > bear <5375 nasa> > the iniquity <5771 <avon > of the father <1> ?  When the son <1121 ben > hath done <6213 <asah > that which is lawful <4941 mishpat > and right <6666 ts@daqah > ,   [ and ]  hath kept <8104 shamar > all <3605 kol > my statutes <2708 chuqqah > ,  and hath done <6213 <asah > them ,  he shall surely live <2421 chayah > .

 : 20 The soul <5315 nephesh > that sinneth <2398 chata> > ,  it shall die <4191 muwth > .  The son <1121 ben > shall not bear <5375 nasa> > the iniquity <5771 <avon > of the father <1> ,  neither <3808 lo> > shall the father <1> bear <5375 nasa> > the iniquity <5771 <avon > of the son <1121 ben > : the righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > of the righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > shall be upon him ,  and the wickedness <7564 rish<ah > of the wicked <7563 rasha< > shall be upon him .

 : 21 .  But if the wicked <7563 rasha< > will turn <7725 shuwb > from all <3605 kol > his sins <2403 chatta>ah > that he hath committed <6213 <asah > ,  and keep <8104 shamar > all <3605 kol > my statutes <2708 chuqqah > ,  and do <6213 <asah > that which is lawful <4941 mishpat > and right <6666 ts@daqah > ,  he shall surely live <2421 chayah > ,  he shall not die <4191 muwth > .

 : 22 All <3605 kol > his transgressions <6588 pesha< > that he hath committed <6213 <asah > ,  they shall not be mentioned <2142 zakar > unto him : in his righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > that he hath done <6213 <asah > he shall live <2421 chayah > .

 : 23 Have I any pleasure <2654 chaphets > at all that the wicked <7563 rasha< > should die <4194 maveth > ?  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > :  [ and ]  not that he should return <7725 shuwb > from his ways <1870 derek > ,  and live <2421 chayah > ?

 : 24 But when the righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > turneth <7725 shuwb > away from his righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > ,  and committeth <6213 <asah > iniquity <5766 <evel > ,   [ and ]  doeth <6213 <asah > according to all <3605 kol > the abominations <8441 tow<ebah > that the wicked <7563 rasha< >  [ man ]  doeth <6213 <asah > ,  shall he live <2425 chayay > ?  All <3605 kol > his righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > that he hath done <6213 <asah > shall not be mentioned <2142 zakar > : in his trespass <4604 ma<al > that he hath trespassed <4604 ma<al > ,  and in his sin <2403 chatta>ah > that he hath sinned <2398 chata> > ,  in them shall he die <4191 muwth > .

 : 25 Yet ye say <0559 >amar > ,  The way <1870 derek > of the Lord <0136 >Adonay > is not equal <8505 takan > .  Hear <8085 shama< > now <4994 na> > ,  O house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  Is not my way <1870 derek > equal <8505 takan > ?  are not your ways <1870 derek > unequal ?

 : 26 When a righteous <6662 tsaddiyq >  [ man ]  turneth <7725 shuwb > away from his righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > ,  and committeth <6213 <asah > iniquity <5766 <evel > ,  and dieth <4191 muwth > in them ;  for his iniquity <5766 <evel > that he hath done <6213 <asah > shall he die <4191 muwth > .

 : 27 Again ,  when the wicked <7563 rasha< >  [ man ]  turneth <7725 shuwb > away from his wickedness <7564 rish<ah > that he hath committed <6213 <asah > ,  and doeth <6213 <asah > that which is lawful <4941 mishpat > and right <6666 ts@daqah > ,  he shall save <2421 chayah > his soul <5315 nephesh > alive <2421 chayah > .

 : 28 Because he considereth <7200 ra>ah > ,  and turneth <7725 shuwb > away from all <3605 kol > his transgressions <6588 pesha< > that he hath committed <6213 <asah > ,  he shall surely live <2421 chayah > ,  he shall not die <4191 muwth > .

 : 29 Yet saith <0559 >amar > the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  The way <1870 derek > of the Lord <0136 >Adonay > is not equal <8505 takan > .  O house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  are not my ways <1870 derek > equal <8505 takan > ?  are not your ways <1870 derek > unequal ?

 : 30 .  Therefore <3651 ken > I will judge <8199 shaphat > you ,  O house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > according to his ways <1870 derek > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .  Repent <7725 shuwb > ,  and turn <7725 shuwb >  [ yourselves ]  from all <3605 kol > your transgressions <6588 pesha< > ;  so iniquity <5771 <avon > shall not be your ruin <4383 mikshowl > .

 : 31 Cast <7993 shalak > away from you all <3605 kol > your transgressions <6588 pesha< > ,  whereby <0834 >aher > ye have transgressed <6586 pasha< > ;  and make <6213 <asah > you a new <2319 chadash > heart <3820 leb > and a new <2319 chadash > spirit <7307 ruwach > : for why <4100 mah > will ye die <4191 muwth > ,  O house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ?

 : 32 For I have no <3808 lo> > pleasure <2654 chaphets > in the death <4194 maveth > of him that dieth <4191 muwth > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > : wherefore turn <7725 shuwb >  [ yourselves ]  ,  and live <2421 chayah > ye .

 : Ezekiel 19

 : 1 .  Moreover take <5375 nasa> > thou up a lamentation <7015 qiynah > for the princes <5387 nasiy> > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,

 : 2 And say <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah >  [ is ]  thy mother <0517 >em > ?  A lioness <3833 labiy> > : she lay <7257 rabats > down <7257 rabats > among <0996 beyn > lions <0738 >ariy > ,  she nourished <7235 rabah > her whelps <1482 guwr > among <8432 tavek > young <3715 k@phiyr > lions <3715 k@phiyr > .

 : 3 And she brought <5927 <alah > up one <0259 >echad > of her whelps <1482guwr > : it became <1961 hayah > a young <3715 k@phiyr > lion <3715 k@phiyr > ,  and it learned <3925 lamad > to catch <2963 taraph > the prey <2964 tereph > ;  it devoured <0398 >akal > men <0120 >adam > .

 : 4 The nations <1471 gowy > also heard <8085 shama< > of him ;  he was taken <8610 taphas > in their pit <7845 shachath > ,  and they brought <0935 bow> > him with chains <2397 chach > unto the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > .

 : 5 Now when she saw <7200 ra>ah > that she had waited <3176 yachal > ,   [ and ]  her hope <8615 tiqvah > was lost <6> ,  then she took <3947 laqach > another <0259 >echad > of her whelps <1482 guwr > ,   [ and ]  made <7760 suwm > him a young <3715 k@phiyr > lion <3715 k@phiyr > .

 : 6 And he went <1980 halak > up and down among <8432 tavek > the lions <0738 >ariy > ,  he became <1961 hayah > a young <3715 k@phiyr > lion <3715 k@phiyr > ,  and learned <3925 lamad > to catch <2963 taraph > the prey <2964 tereph > ,   [ and ]  devoured <0398 >akal > men <0120 >adam > .

 : 7 And he knew <3045 yada< > their desolate <0490 >almanah > palaces ,  and he laid waste <2717 charab > their cities <5892 <iyr > ;  and the land <0776 >erets > was desolate <3456 yasham > ,  and the fulness <4393 m@lo> > thereof ,  by the noise <6963 qowl > of his roaring <7581 sh@agah > .

 : 8 Then the nations <1471 gowy > set <5414 nathan > against <5921 <al > him on every <5437 cabab > side <5439 cabiyb > from the provinces <4082 m@diynah > ,  and spread <6566 paras > their net <7568 resheth > over <5921 <al > him : he was taken <8610 taphas > in their pit <7845 shachath > .

 : 9 And they put <5414 nathan > him in ward <5474 cuwgar > in chains <2397 chach > ,  and brought <0935 bow> > him to the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > : they brought <0935 bow> > him into holds <4686 matsuwd > ,  that his voice <6963 qowl > should no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > be heard <8085 shama< > upon the mountains <2022 har > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 10 .  Thy mother <0517 >em >  [ is ]  like a vine <1612 gephen > in thy blood <1818 dam > ,  planted <8362 shathal > by the waters <4325 mayim > : she was fruitful <6509 parah > and full of branches <6058 <aneph > by reason of many <7227 rab > waters <4325 mayim > .

 : 11 And she had <1961 hayah > strong <5797 <oz > rods <4294 matteh > for the sceptres <7626 shebet > of them that bare <4910 mashal > rule <4910 mashal > ,  and her stature <6967 qowmah > was exalted <1361 gabahh > among <0996 beyn > the thick <5688 <aboth > branches <5688 <aboth > ,  and she appeared <7200 ra>ah > in her height <1363 gobahh > with the multitude <7230 rob > of her branches <1808 daliyah > .

 : 12 But she was plucked <5428 nathash > up in fury <2534 chemah > ,  she was cast <7993 shalak > down to the ground <0776 >erets > ,  and the east <6921 qadiym > wind <7307 ruwach > dried <3001 yabesh > up her fruit <6529 p@riy > : her strong <5797 <oz > rods <4294 matteh > were broken <6531 perek > and withered <3001 yabesh > ;  the fire <0784 >esh > consumed <0398 >akal > them .

 : 13 And now <6258 <attah > she  [ is ]  planted <8362 shathal > in the wilderness <4057 midbar > ,  in a dry <6723 tsiyah > and thirsty <6772 tsama> > ground <0776 >erets > .

 : 14 And fire <0784 >esh > is gone <3318 yatsa> > out of a rod <4294 matteh > of her branches <0905 bad > ,   [ which ]  hath devoured <0398 >akal > her fruit <6529 p@riy > ,  so that she hath no <3808 lo> > strong <5797 <oz > rod <4294 matteh >  [ to be ]  a sceptre <7626 shebet > to rule <4910 mashal > .  This <1931 huw> >  [ is ]  a lamentation <7015 qiynah > ,  and shall be for a lamentation <7015 qiynah > .

 : Ezekiel 20

 : 1 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the seventh <7637 sh@biy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > ,  in the fifth <2549 chamiyshiy >  [ month ]  ,  the tenth <6218 <asowr >  [ day ]  of the month <2320 chodesh > ,   [ that ]  certain <0582 >enowsh > of the elders <2205 zaqen > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > came <0935 bow> > to enquire <1875 darash > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and sat <3427 yashab > before <6440 paniym > me .

 : 2 Then came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 3 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  speak <1696 dabar > unto the elders <2205 zaqen > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and say <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Are ye come <0935 bow> > to enquire <1875 darash > of me ?   [ As ]  I live <2416 chay > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ,  I will not be enquired <1875 darash > of by you .

 : 4 Wilt thou judge <8199 shaphat > them ,  son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  wilt thou judge <8199 shaphat >  [ them ]  ?  cause them to know <3045 yada< > the abominations <8441 tow<ebah > of their fathers <1> :

 : 5 .  And say <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  In the day <3117 yowm > when I chose <0977 bachar > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and lifted <5375 nasa> > up mine hand <3027 yad > unto the seed <2233 zera< > of the house <1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > ,  and made myself known <3045 yada< > unto them in the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  when I lifted <5375 nasa> > up mine hand <3027 yad > unto them ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym > ;

 : 6 In the day <3117 yowm >  [ that ]  I lifted <5375 nasa> > up mine hand <3027 yad > unto them ,  to bring <3318 yatsa> > them forth <3318 yatsa> > of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > into <0413 >el > a land <0776 >erets > that I had espied <8446 tuwr > for them ,  flowing <2100 zuwb > with milk <2461 chalab > and honey <1706 d@bash > ,  which <1958 hiy >  [ is ]  the glory <6643 ts@biy > of all <3605 kol > lands <0776 >erets > :

 : 7 Then said <0559 >amar > I unto them ,  Cast <7993 shalak > ye away every man <0376 >iysh > the abominations <8251 shiqquwts > of his eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  and defile <2930 tame> > not yourselves with the idols <1544 gilluwl > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > : I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 8 But they rebelled <4784 marah > against me ,  and would <14> not hearken <8085 shama< > unto me : they did not every man <0376 >iysh > cast <7993 shalak > away the abominations <8251 shiqquwts > of their eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  neither <3808 lo> > did they forsake <5800 <azab > the idols <1544 gilluwl > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > : then I said <0559 >amar > ,  I will pour <8210 shaphak > out my fury <2534 chemah > upon them ,  to accomplish <3615 kalah > my anger <0639 >aph > against them in the midst <8432 tavek > of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > .

 : 9 But I wrought <6213 <asah > for my name s <8034 shem > sake <4616 ma<an > ,  that it should not be polluted <2490 chalal > before <5869 <ayin > the heathen <1471 gowy > ,  among <8432 tavek > whom <0834 >aher > they  [ were ]  ,  in whose <0853 >eth > sight <5869 <ayin > I made myself known <3045 yada< > unto them ,  in bringing <3318 yatsa> > them forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > .

 : 10 .  Wherefore I caused them to go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  and brought <0935 bow> > them into <0413 >el > the wilderness <4057 midbar > .

 : 11 And I gave <5414 nathan > them my statutes <2708 chuqqah > ,  and shewed <3045 yada< > them my judgments <4941 mishpat > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ if ]  a man <0120 >adam > do <6213 <asah > ,  he shall even live <2425 chayay > in them .

 : 12 Moreover <1571 gam > also <1571 gam > I gave <5414 nathan > them my sabbaths <7676 shabbath > ,  to be a sign <0226 >owth > between <0996 beyn > me and them ,  that they might know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that sanctify <6942 qadash > them .

 : 13 But the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > rebelled <4784 marah > against me in the wilderness <4057 midbar > : they walked <1980 halak > not in my statutes <2708 chuqqah > ,  and they despised <3988 ma>ac > my judgments <4941 mishpat > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ if ]  a man <0120 >adam > do <6213 <asah > ,  he shall even live <2425 chayay > in them ;  and my sabbaths <7676 shabbath > they greatly <3966 m@<od > polluted <2490 chalal > : then I said <0559 >amar > ,  I would pour <8210 shaphak > out my fury <2534 chemah > upon them in the wilderness <4057 midbar > ,  to consume <3615 kalah > them .

 : 14 But I wrought <6213 <asah > for my name s <8034 shem > sake <4616 ma<an > ,  that it should not be polluted <2490 chalal > before <5869 <ayin > the heathen <1471 gowy > ,  in whose <0834 >aher > sight <5869 <ayin > I brought <3318 yatsa> > them out .

 : 15 Yet also <1571 gam > I lifted <5375 nasa> > up my hand <3027 yad > unto them in the wilderness <4057 midbar > ,  that I would not bring <0935 bow> > them into <0413 >el > the land <0776 >erets > which <0834 >aher > I had given <5414 nathan >  [ them ]  ,  flowing <2100 zuwb > with milk <2461 chalab > and honey <1706 d@bash > ,  which <1958 hiy >  [ is ]  the glory of all <3605 kol > lands <0776 >erets > ;

 : 16 Because <3282 ya<an > they despised <3988 ma>ac > my judgments <4941 mishpat > ,  and walked <1980 halak > not in my statutes <2708 chuqqah > ,  but polluted <2490 chalal > my sabbaths <7676 shabbath > : for their heart <3820 leb > went <1980 halak > after <0310 >achar > their idols <1544 gilluwl > .

 : 17 Nevertheless mine eye <5869 <ayin > spared <2347 chuwc > them from destroying <7843 shachath > them ,  neither <3808 lo> > did I make <6213 <asah > an end <3615 kalah > of them in the wilderness <4057 midbar > .

 : 18 But I said <0559 >amar > unto their children <1121 ben > in the wilderness <4057 midbar > ,  Walk <3212 yalak > ye not in the statutes <2706 choq > of your fathers <1> ,  neither <0408 >al > observe <8104 shamar > their judgments <4941 mishpat > ,  nor <0408 >al > defile <2930 tame> > yourselves with their idols <1544 gilluwl > :

 : 19 I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym > ;  walk <3212 yalak > in my statutes <2708 chuqqah > ,  and keep <8104 shamar > my judgments <4941 mishpat > ,  and do <6213 <asah > them ;

 : 20 And hallow <6942 qadash > my sabbaths <7676 shabbath > ;  and they shall be a sign <0226 >owth > between <0996 beyn > me and you ,  that ye may know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 21 Notwithstanding the children <1121 ben > rebelled <4784 marah > against me : they walked <1980 halak > not in my statutes <2708 chuqqah > ,  neither <3808 lo> > kept <8104 shamar > my judgments <4941 mishpat > to do <6213 <asah > them ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ if ]  a man <0120 >adam > do <6213 <asah > ,  he shall even live <2425 chayay > in them ;  they polluted <2490 chalal > my sabbaths <7676 shabbath > : then I said <0559 >amar > ,  I would pour <8210 shaphak > out my fury <2534 chemah > upon them ,  to accomplish <3615 kalah > my anger <0639 >aph > against them in the wilderness <4057 midbar > .

 : 22 Nevertheless I withdrew <7725 shuwb > mine hand <3027 yad > ,  and wrought <6213 <asah > for my name s <8034 shem > sake <4616 ma<an > ,  that it should not be polluted <2490 chalal > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the heathen <1471 gowy > ,  in whose <0834 >aher > sight <5869 <ayin > I brought <3318 yatsa> > them forth <3318 yatsa> > .

 : 23 I lifted <5375 nasa> > up mine hand <3027 yad > unto them also <1571 gam > in the wilderness <4057 midbar > ,  that I would scatter <6327 puwts > them among the heathen <1471 gowy > ,  and disperse <2219 zarah > them through the countries <0776 >erets > ;

 : 24 Because <3282 ya<an > they had not executed <6213 <asah > my judgments <4941 mishpat > ,  but had despised <3988 ma>ac > my statutes <2708 chuqqah > ,  and had polluted <2490 chalal > my sabbaths <7676 shabbath > ,  and their eyes <5869 <ayin > were after <0310 >achar > their fathers <1>  idols <1544 gilluwl > .

 : 25 Wherefore I gave <5414 nathan > them also <1571 gam > statutes <2706 choq >  [ that were ]  not good <2896 towb > ,  and judgments <4941 mishpat > whereby they should not live <2421 chayah > ;

 : 26 And I polluted <2930 tame> > them in their own gifts <4979 mattanah > ,  in that they caused to pass <5674 <abar > through  [ the fire ]  all <3605 kol > that openeth <6363 peter > the womb <7356 racham > ,  that I might make them desolate <8074 shamem > ,  to the end <4616 ma<an > that they might know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 27 .  Therefore <3651 ken > ,  son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  speak <1696 dabar > unto the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and say <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Yet <5750 <owd > in this <2063 zo>th > your fathers <1> have blasphemed <1442 gadaph > me ,  in that they have committed <4600 ma<ak > a trespass <4604 ma<al > against me .

 : 28  [ For ]  when I had brought <0935 bow> > them into <0413 >el > the land <0776 >erets > ,   [ for ]  the which <0834 >aher > I lifted <5375 nasa> > up mine hand <3027 yad > to give <5414 nathan > it to them ,  then they saw <7200 ra>ah > every <3605 kol > high <7311 ruwm > hill <1389 gib<ah > ,  and all <3605 kol > the thick <5687 <aboth > trees <6086 <ets > ,  and they offered <2076 zabach > there <8033 sham > their sacrifices <2077 zebach > ,  and there <8033 sham > they presented <5414 nathan > the provocation <3708 ka<ac > of their offering <7133 qorban > : there <8033 sham > also they made <7760 suwm > their sweet <5207 nichowach > savour <7381 reyach > ,  and poured <5258 nacak > out there <8033 sham > their drink <5262 necek > offerings .

 : 29 Then I said <0559 >amar > unto them ,  What <4100 mah >  [ is ]  the high <1116 bamah > place whereunto ye go <0935 bow> > ?  And the name <8034 shem > thereof is called <7121 qara> > Bamah <1117 Bamah > unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > .

 : 30 Wherefore <3651 ken > say <0559 >amar > unto the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Are ye polluted <2930 tame> > after the manner <1870 derek > of your fathers <1> ?  and commit <2181 zanah > ye whoredom <2181 zanah > after <0310 >achar > their abominations <8251 shiqquwts > ?

 : 31 For when ye offer <5375 nasa> > your gifts <4979 mattanah > ,  when ye make your sons <1121 ben > to pass <5674 <abar > through the fire <0784 >esh > ,  ye pollute <2930 tame> > yourselves with all <3605 kol > your idols <1544 gilluwl > ,  even unto this day <3117 yowm > : and shall I be enquired <1875 darash > of by you ,  O house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ?   [ As ]  I live <2416 chay > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ,  I will not be enquired of by you .

 : 32 And that which cometh <5927 <alah > into <5921 <al > your mind <7307 ruwach > shall not be at all ,  that ye say <0559 >amar > ,  We will be as the heathen <1471 gowy > ,  as the families <4940 mishpachah > of the countries <0776 >erets > ,  to serve <8334 sharath > wood <6086 <ets > and stone <68> .

 : 33 .   [ As ]  I live ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ,  surely with a mighty <2389 chazaq > hand <3027 yad > ,  and with a stretched <5186 natah > out arm <2220 z@rowa< > ,  and with fury <2534 chemah > poured <8210 shaphak > out ,  will I rule <4427 malak > over you :

 : 34 And I will bring <3318 yatsa> > you out from the people <5971 <am > ,  and will gather <6908 qabats > you out of the countries <0776 >erets > wherein <0834 >aher > ye are scattered <6327 puwts > ,  with a mighty <2389 chazaq > hand <3027 yad > ,  and with a stretched <5186 natah > out arm <2220 z@rowa< > ,  and with fury <2534 chemah > poured <8210 shaphak > out .

 : 35 And I will bring <0935 bow> > you into <0413 >el > the wilderness <4057 midbar > of the people <5971 <am > ,  and there <8033 sham > will I plead <8199 shaphat > with you face <6440 paniym > to face <6440 paniym > .

 : 36 Like as I pleaded <8199 shaphat > with your fathers <1> in the wilderness <4057 midbar > of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  so <3651 ken > will I plead <8199 shaphat > with you ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : 37 And I will cause you to pass <5674 <abar > under <8478 tachath > the rod <7626 shebet > ,  and I will bring <0935 bow> > you into the bond <4562 macoreth > of the covenant <1285 b@riyth > :

 : 38 And I will purge <1305 barar > out from among you the rebels <4775 marad > ,  and them that transgress <6586 pasha< > against me : I will bring <3318 yatsa> > them forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the country <0776 >erets > where they sojourn <4033 maguwr > ,  and they shall not enter <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > the land <0127 >adamah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 39 As for you ,  O house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Go <3212 yalak > ye ,  serve <5647 <abad > ye every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > his idols <1544 gilluwl > ,  and hereafter <0310 >achar >  [ also ]  ,  if <0518 >im > ye will not hearken <8085 shama< > unto me : but pollute <2490 chalal > ye my holy <6944 qodesh > name <8034 shem > no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > with your gifts <4979 mattanah > ,  and with your idols <1544 gilluwl > .

 : 40 For in mine holy <6944 qodesh > mountain <2022 har > ,  in the mountain <2022 har > of the height <4791 marowm > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ,  there <8033 sham > shall all <3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  all <3605 kol > of them in the land <0776 >erets > ,  serve <5647 <abad > me : there <8033 sham > will I accept <7521 ratsah > them ,  and there <8033 sham > will I require <1875 darash > your offerings <8641 t@ruwmah > ,  and the firstfruits <7225 re>shiyth > of your oblations <4864 mas>eth > ,  with all <3605 kol > your holy things .

 : 41 I will accept <7521 ratsah > you with your sweet <5207 nichowach > savour <7381 reyach > ,  when I bring <3318 yatsa> > you out from the people <5971 <am > ,  and gather <6908 qabats > you out of the countries <0776 >erets > wherein ye have been scattered <6327 puwts > ;  and I will be sanctified <6942 qadash > in you before <5869 <ayin > the heathen <1471 gowy > .

 : 42 And ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  when I shall bring <0935 bow> > you into <0413 >el > the land <0127 >adamah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  into <0413 >el > the country <0776 >erets >  [ for ]  the which <0834 >aher > I lifted <5375 nasa> > up mine hand <3027 yad > to give <5414 nathan > it to your fathers <1> .

 : 43 And there <8033 sham > shall ye remember <2142 zakar > your ways <1870 derek > ,  and all <3605 kol > your doings <5949 <aliylah > ,  wherein <0834 >aher > ye have been defiled <2930 tame> > ;  and ye shall lothe <6962 quwt > yourselves in your own sight <6440 paniym > for all <3605 kol > your evils <7451 ra< > that ye have committed <6213 <asah > .

 : 44 And ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  when <3588 kiy > I have wrought <6213 <asah > with you for my name s <8034 shem > sake <4616 ma<an > ,  not according to your wicked <7451 ra< > ways <1870 derek > ,  nor according to your corrupt <7843 shachath > doings <5949 <aliylah > ,  O ye house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : 45 .  Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 46 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  set <7760 suwm > thy face <6440 paniym > toward <1870 derek > the south <8486 teyman > ,  and drop <5197 nataph >  [ thy word ]  toward <0413 >el > the south <1864 darowm > ,  and prophesy <5012 naba> > against <0413 >el > the forest <3293 ya<ar > of the south <5045 negeb > field <7704 sadeh > ;

 : 47 And say <0559 >amar > to the forest <3293 ya<ar > of the south <5045 negeb > ,  Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will kindle <3341 yatsath > a fire <0784 >esh > in thee ,  and it shall devour <0398 >akal > every <3605 kol > green <3892 lach > tree <6086 <ets > in thee ,  and every <3605 kol > dry <3002 yabesh > tree <6086 <ets > : the flaming <3852 lehabah > flame <7957 shalhebeth > shall not be quenched <3518 kabah > ,  and all <3605 kol > faces <6440 paniym > from the south <5045 negeb > to the north <6828 tsaphown > shall be burned <6866 tsarab > therein .

 : 48 And all <3605 kol > flesh <1320 basar > shall see <7200 ra>ah > that I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > have kindled <1197 ba<ar > it : it shall not be quenched <3518 kabah > .

 : 49 Then said <0559 >amar > I ,  Ah <0162 >ahahh > Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > !  they say <0559 >amar > of me ,  Doth he not speak <4911 mashal > parables <4912 mashal > ?

 : Ezekiel 21

 : 1 .  And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 2 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  set <7760 suwm > thy face <6440 paniym > toward <0413 >el > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and drop <5197 nataph >  [ thy word ]  toward <0413 >el > the holy <4720 miqdash > places ,  and prophesy <5012 naba> > against <0413 >el > the land <0127 >adamah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,

 : 3 And say <0559 >amar > to the land <0127 >adamah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I  [ am ]  against <0413 >el > thee ,  and will draw <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > my sword <2719 chereb > out of his sheath <8593 ta<ar > ,  and will cut <3772 karath > off from thee the righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > and the wicked <7563 rasha< > .

 : 4 Seeing <3282 ya<an > then that I will cut <3772 karath > off from thee the righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > and the wicked <7563 rasha< > ,  therefore shall my sword <2719 chereb > go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of his sheath <8593 ta<ar > against <0413 >el > all <3605 kol > flesh <1320 basar > from the south <5045 negeb > to the north <6828 tsaphown > :

 : 5 That all <3605 kol > flesh <1320 basar > may know <3045 yada< > that I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > have drawn <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > my sword <2719 chereb > out of his sheath <8593 ta<ar > : it shall not return <7725 shuwb > any more <5750 <owd > .

 : 6 Sigh <0584 >anach > therefore ,  thou son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  with the breaking <7670 shibrown > of  [ thy ]  loins <4975 mothen > ;  and with bitterness <4814 m@riyruwth > sigh <0584 >anach > before their eyes <5869 <ayin > .

 : 7 And it shall be ,  when <3588 kiy > they say <0559 >amar > unto thee ,  Wherefore sighest <0584 >anach > thou ?  that thou shalt answer <0559 >amar > ,  For the tidings <8052 sh@muw<ah > ;  because <3588 kiy > it cometh <0935 bow> > : and every <3605 kol > heart <3820 leb > shall melt <4549 macac > ,  and all <3605 kol > hands <3027 yad > shall be feeble <7503 raphah > ,  and every <3605 kol > spirit <7307 ruwach > shall faint <3543 kahah > ,  and all <3605 kol > knees <1290 berek > shall be weak <3212 yalak >  [ as ]  water <4325 mayim > : behold <2009 hinneh > ,  it cometh <0935 bow> > ,  and shall be brought <1961 hayah > to pass ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : 8 .  Again the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 9 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  prophesy <5012 naba> > ,  and say <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  Say <0559 >amar > ,  A sword <2719 chereb > ,  a sword <2719 chereb > is sharpened <2300 chadad > ,  and also <1571 gam > furbished <4803 marat > :

 : 10 It is sharpened <2300 chadad > to make a sore slaughter <2873 tabach > ;  it is furbished <4803 marat > that it may glitter <1300 baraq > : should we then <0176 >ow > make mirth <7797 suws > ?  it contemneth <3988 ma>ac > the rod <7626 shebet > of my son <1121 ben > ,   [ as ]  every <3605 kol > tree <6086 <ets > .

 : 11 And he hath given <5414 nathan > it to be furbished <4803 marat > ,  that it may be handled : this <1931 huw> > sword <2719 chereb > is sharpened <2300 chadad > ,  and it is furbished <4803 marat > ,  to give <5414 nathan > it into the hand <3027 yad > of the slayer <2026 harag > .

 : 12 Cry <2199 za<aq > and howl <3213 yalal > ,  son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > : for it shall be upon my people <5971 <am > ,  it  [ shall be ]  upon all <3605 kol > the princes <5387 nasiy> > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : terrors <4048 magar > by reason <0413 >el > of the sword <2719 chereb > shall be upon my people <5971 <am > : smite <5606 caphaq > therefore upon  [ thy ]  thigh <3409 yarek > .

 : 13 Because <3588 kiy >  [ it is ]  a trial <0974 bachan > ,  and what <4100 mah > if <0518 >im >  [ the sword ]  contemn <3988 ma>ac > even <1571 gam > the rod <7626 shebet > ?  it shall be no <3808 lo> >  [ more ]  ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : 14 Thou therefore ,  son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  prophesy <5012 naba> > ,  and smite <5221 nakah >  [ thine ]  hands <3709 kaph > together ,  and let the sword <2719 chereb > be doubled <3717 kaphal > the third <7992 sh@liyshiy > time ,  the sword <2719 chereb > of the slain <2491 chalal > : it  [ is ]  the sword <2719 chereb > of the great <1419 gadowl >  [ men that are ]  slain <2491 chalal > ,  which entereth into their privy <2314 chadar > chambers <2315 cheder > .

 : 15 I have set <5414 nathan > the point <19> of the sword <2719 chereb > against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > their gates <8179 sha<ar > ,  that  [ their ]  heart <3820 leb > may faint <4127 muwg > ,  and  [ their ]  ruins <4383 mikshowl > be multiplied <7235 rabah > : ah <0253 >ach > !   [ it is ]  made bright <1300 baraq > ,   [ it is ]  wrapped <4593 ma<ot > up for the slaughter <2875 Tebach > .

 : 16 Go <0258 >achad > thee one way or other ,   [ either ]  on the right <3231 yaman > hand <3221 yam > ,   [ or ]  on the left <8041 sama>l > ,  whithersoever <0575 >an > thy face <6440 paniym >  [ is ]  set <3259 ya<ad > .

 : 17 I will also <1571 gam > smite <5221 nakah > mine hands <3709 kaph > together ,  and I will cause my fury <2534 chemah > to rest <5117 nuwach > : I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > have said <1696 dabar >  [ it ]  .

 : 18 .  The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me again ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 19 Also ,  thou son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  appoint <7760 suwm > thee two <8147 sh@nayim > ways <1870 derek > ,  that the sword <2719 chereb > of the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > may come <0935 bow> > : both twain <8147 sh@nayim > shall come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of one <0259 >echad > land <0776 >erets > : and choose <1254 bara> > thou a place <3027 yad > ,  choose <1254 bara> >  [ it ]  at the head <7218 ro>sh > of the way <1870 derek > to the city <5892 <iyr > .

 : 20 Appoint <7760 suwm > a way <1870 derek > ,  that the sword <2719 chereb > may come <0935 bow> > to Rabbath <7237 Rabbah > of the Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy > ,  and to Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > the defenced <1219 batsar > .

 : 21 For the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > stood <5975 <amad > at <0413 >el > the parting <0517 >em > of the way <1870 derek > ,  at the head <7218 ro>sh > of the two <8147 sh@nayim > ways <1870 derek > ,  to use <7080 qacam > divination <7081 qecem > : he made  [ his ]  arrows <2671 chets > bright <7043 qalal > ,  he consulted <7592 sha>al > with images <8655 t@raphiym > ,  he looked <7200 ra>ah > in the liver <3516 kabed > .

 : 22 At his right <3225 yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > was the divination <7081 qecem > for Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  to appoint <7760 suwm > captains <3733 kar > ,  to open <6605 pathach > the mouth <6310 peh > in the slaughter <7524 retsach > ,  to lift <7311 ruwm > up the voice <6963 qowl > with shouting <8643 t@ruw<ah > ,  to appoint <7760 suwm >  [ battering ]  rams <3733 kar > against <5921 <al > the gates <8179 sha<ar > ,  to cast <8210 shaphak > a mount <5550 col@lah > ,   [ and ]  to build <1129 banah > a fort <1785 dayeq > .

 : 23 And it shall be unto them as a false <7723 shav> > divination <7080 qacam > in their sight <5869 <ayin > ,  to them that have sworn <7650 shaba< > oaths <7621 sh@buw<ah > : but he will call <2142 zakar > to remembrance <2142 zakar > the iniquity <5771 <avon > ,  that they may be taken <8610 taphas > .

 : 24 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Because <3282 ya<an > ye have made your iniquity <5771 <avon > to be remembered <2142 zakar > ,  in that your transgressions <6588 pesha< > are discovered <1540 galah > ,  so that in all <3605 kol > your doings <5949 <aliylah > your sins <2403 chatta>ah > do appear <7200 ra>ah > ;  because <3282 ya<an > ,   [ I say ]  ,  that ye are come to remembrance <2142 zakar > ,  ye shall be taken <8610 taphas > with the hand <3079 Y@howyaqiym > .

 : 25 And thou ,  profane <2491 chalal > wicked <7563 rasha< > prince <5387 nasiy> > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  whose <0834 >aher > day <3117 yowm > is come <0935 bow> > ,  when <6256 <eth > iniquity <5771 <avon >  [ shall have ]  an end <7093 qets > ,

 : 26 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Remove <5493 cuwr > the diadem <4701 mitsnepheth > ,  and take <7311 ruwm > off the crown <5850 <atarah > : this <2063 zo>th >  [ shall ]  not  [ be ]  the same <2063 zo>th > : exalt <1361 gabahh >  [ him that is ]  low <8217 shaphal > ,  and abase <8213 shaphel >  [ him that is ]  high <1364 gaboahh > .

 : 27 I will overturn <5754 <avvah > ,  overturn <5754 <avvah > ,  overturn <5754 <avvah > ,  it : and it shall be no <3808 lo> >  [ more ]  ,  until <5704 <ad > he come <0935 bow> > whose <0834 >aher > right <4941 mishpat > it is ;  and I will give <5414 nathan > it  [ him ]  .

 : 28 .  And thou ,  son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  prophesy <5012 naba> > and say <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > concerning <0413 >el > the Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy > ,  and concerning <0413 >el > their reproach <2781 cherpah > ;  even say <0559 >amar > thou ,  The sword <2719 chereb > ,  the sword <2719 chereb >  [ is ]  drawn <6605 pathach > : for the slaughter <2875 Tebach >  [ it is ]  furbished <4803 marat > ,  to consume <0398 >akal > because <4616 ma<an > of the glittering <1300 baraq > :

 : 29 Whiles they see <2372 chazah > vanity <7723 shav> > unto thee ,  whiles they divine <7080 qacam > a lie <3576 kazab > unto thee ,  to bring <5414 nathan > thee upon the necks <6677 tsavva>r > of  [ them that are ]  slain <2491 chalal > ,  of the wicked <7563 rasha< > ,  whose <0834 >aher > day <3117 yowm > is come <0935 bow> > ,  when <6256 <eth > their iniquity <5771 <avon >  [ shall have ]  an end <7093 qets > .

 : 30 Shall I cause  [ it ]  to return <7725 shuwb > into his sheath <8593 ta<ar > ?  I will judge <8199 shaphat > thee in the place <4725 maqowm > where <0834 >aher > thou wast created <1254 bara> > ,  in the land <0776 >erets > of thy nativity <4351 m@kuwrah > .

 : 31 And I will pour <8210 shaphak > out mine indignation <2195 za<am > upon thee ,  I will blow <6315 puwach > against <5921 <al > thee in the fire <0784 >esh > of my wrath <5678 <ebrah > ,  and deliver <5414 nathan > thee into the hand <3027 yad > of brutish <1197 ba<ar > men <0582 >enowsh > ,   [ and ]  skilful <2796 charash > to destroy <4889 mashchiyth > .

 : 32 Thou shalt be for fuel <0402 >oklah > to the fire <0784 >esh > ;  thy blood <1818 dam > shall be in the midst <8432 tavek > of the land <0776 >erets > ;  thou shalt be no <3808 lo> >  [ more ]  remembered <2142 zakar > : for I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > have spoken <1696 dabar >  [ it ]  .

 : 1 .  Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 2 Now ,  thou son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  wilt thou judge <8199 shaphat > ,  wilt thou judge <8199 shaphat > the bloody <1818 dam > city <5892 <iyr > ?  yea ,  thou shalt shew <3045 yada< > her all <3605 kol > her abominations <8441 tow<ebah > .

 : 3 Then say <0559 >amar > thou ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ,  The city <5892 <iyr > sheddeth <8210 shaphak > blood <1818 dam > in the midst <8432 tavek > of it ,  that her time <6256 <eth > may come <0935 bow> > ,  and maketh <6213 <asah > idols <1544 gilluwl > against <5921 <al > herself to defile <2930 tame> > herself .

 : 4 Thou art become <0816 >asham > guilty <0816 >asham > in thy blood <1818 dam > that thou hast shed <8210 shaphak > ;  and hast defiled <2930 tame> > thyself in thine idols <1544 gilluwl > which <0834 >aher > thou hast made <6213 <asah > ;  and thou hast caused thy days <3117 yowm > to draw near <7126 qarab > ,  and art come <0935 bow> >  [ even ]  unto thy years <8141 shaneh > : therefore <3651 ken > have I made <5414 nathan > thee a reproach <2781 cherpah > unto the heathen <1471 gowy > ,  and a mocking <7048 qallacah > to all <3605 kol > countries <0776 >erets > .

 : 5  [ Those that be ]  near <7138 qarowb > ,  and  [ those that be ]  far <7350 rachowq > from thee ,  shall mock <7046 qalac > thee ,   [ which art ]  infamous  [ and ]  much <7227 rab > vexed <4103 m@huwmah > .

 : 6 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the princes <5387 nasiy> > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > were in thee to their power <2220 z@rowa< > to shed <8210 shaphak > blood <1818 dam > .

 : 7 In thee have they set light <7043 qalal > by father <1> and mother <0517 >em > : in the midst <8432 tavek > of thee have they dealt <6213 <asah > by oppression <6233 <osheq > with the stranger <1616 ger > : in thee have they vexed <3238 yanah > the fatherless <3490 yathowm > and the widow <0490 >almanah > .

 : 8 Thou hast despised <0959 bazah > mine holy <6944 qodesh > things ,  and hast profaned <2490 chalal > my sabbaths <7676 shabbath > .

 : 9 In thee are men <0582 >enowsh > that carry <7400 rakiyl > tales <7400 rakiyl > to shed <8210 shaphak > blood <1818 dam > : and in thee they eat <0398 >akal > upon the mountains <2022 har > : in the midst <8432 tavek > of thee they commit <6213 <asah > lewdness <2154 zimmah > .

 : 10 In thee have they discovered <1540 galah > their fathers <1>  nakedness <6172 <ervah > : in thee have they humbled <6031 <anah > her that was set <5079 niddah > apart <5079 niddah > for pollution <2931 tame> > .

 : 11 And one hath committed <6213 <asah > abomination <8441 tow<ebah > with his neighbour s <7453 rea< > wife <0802 >ishshah > ;  and another <0376 >iysh > hath lewdly <2154 zimmah > defiled <2930 tame> > his daughter <3618 kallah > in law <3618 kallah > ;  and another <0376 >iysh > in thee hath humbled <6031 <anah > his sister <0269 >achowth > ,  his father s <1> daughter <1323 bath > .

 : 12 In thee have they taken <3947 laqach > gifts <7810 shachad > to shed<8210 shaphak > blood <1818 dam > ;  thou hast taken <3947 laqach > usury <5392 neshek > and increase <8635 tarbuwth > ,  and thou hast greedily gained <1214 batsa< > of thy neighbours <7453 rea< > by extortion <6233 <osheq > ,  and hast forgotten <7911 shakach > me ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : 13 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  therefore I have smitten <5221 nakah > mine hand <3079 Y@howyaqiym > at <0413 >el > thy dishonest <1215 betsa< > gain <1214 batsa< > which <0834 >aher > thou hast made <6213 <asah > ,  and at <5921 <al > thy blood <1818 dam > which <0834 >aher > hath been <1961 hayah > in the midst <8432 tavek > of thee .

 : 14 Can thine heart <3820 leb > endure <5975 <amad > ,  or can thine hands <3027 yad > be strong <2388 chazaq > ,  in the days <3117 yowm > that I shall deal <6213 <asah > with thee ?  I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > have spoken <1696 dabar >  [ it ]  ,  and will do <6213 <asah >  [ it ]  .

 : 15 And I will scatter <6327 puwts > thee among the heathen <1471 gowy > ,  and disperse <2219 zarah > thee in the countries <0776 >erets > ,  and will consume <8552 tamam > thy filthiness <2932 tum>ah > out of thee .

 : 16 And thou shalt take thine inheritance <2490 chalal > in thyself in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the heathen <1471 gowy > ,  and thou shalt know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 17 .  And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 18 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > is to me become <1961 hayah > dross <5509 ciyg > : all <3605 kol > they  [ are ]  brass <5178 n@chosheth > ,  and tin <0913 b@diyl > ,  and iron <1270 barzel > ,  and lead <5777 <owphereth > ,  in the midst <8432 tavek > of the furnace <3564 kuwr > ;  they are  [ even ]  the dross <5509 ciyg > of silver <3701 keceph > .

 : 19 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Because <3282 ya<an > ye are all <3605 kol > become <1961 hayah > dross <5509 ciyg > ,  behold <2005 hen > ,  therefore <3651 ken > I will gather <6908 qabats > you into <0413 >el > the midst <8432 tavek > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .

 : 20  [ As ]  they gather <6910 q@butsah > silver <3701 keceph > ,  and brass <5178 n@chosheth > ,  and iron <1270 barzel > ,  and lead <5777 <owphereth > ,  and tin <0913 b@diyl > ,  into <0413 >el > the midst <8432 tavek > of the furnace <3564 kuwr > ,  to blow <5301 naphach > the fire <0784 >esh > upon it ,  to melt <5413 nathak >  [ it ]  ;  so <3651 ken > will I gather <6908 qabats >  [ you ]  in mine anger <0639 >aph > and in my fury <2534 chemah > ,  and I will leave <3241 Yaniym >  [ you there ]  ,  and melt <5413 nathak > you .

 : 21 Yea ,  I will gather <3664 kanac > you ,  and blow <5301 naphach > upon you in the fire <0784 >esh > of my wrath <5678 <ebrah > ,  and ye shall be melted <5413 nathak > in the midst <8432 tavek > thereof .

 : 22 As silver <3701 keceph > is melted <2046 hittuwk > in the midst <8432 tavek > of the furnace <3564 kuwr > ,  so <3651 ken > shall ye be melted <5413 nathak > in the midst <8432 tavek > thereof ;  and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > have poured <8210 shaphak > out my fury <2534 chemah > upon you .

 : 23 .  And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 24 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  say <0559 >amar > unto her ,  Thou  [ art ]  the land <0776 >erets > that is not cleansed <2891 taher > ,  nor <3808 lo> > rained <1656 goshem > upon in the day <3117 yowm > of indignation <2195 za<am > .

 : 25  [ There is ]  a conspiracy <7195 qesher > of her prophets <5030 nabiy> > in the midst <8432 tavek > thereof ,  like a roaring <7580 sha>ag > lion <0738 >ariy > ravening <2963 taraph > the prey <2964 tereph > ;  they have devoured <0398 >akal > souls <5315 nephesh > ;  they have taken <3947 laqach > the treasure <2633 chocen > and precious <3366 y@qar > things ;  they have made her many <7235 rabah > widows <0490 >almanah > in the midst <8432 tavek > thereof .

 : 26 Her priests <3548 kohen > have violated <2554 chamac > my law <8451 towrah > ,  and have profaned <2490 chalal > mine holy <6944 qodesh > things : they have put no <3808 lo> > difference between <0996 beyn > the holy <6944 qodesh > and profane <2455 chol > ,  neither <3808 lo> > have they shewed <3045 yada< >  [ difference ]  between <0996 beyn > the unclean <2931 tame> > and the clean <2889 tahowr > ,  and have hid <5956 <alam > their eyes <5869 <ayin > from my sabbaths <7676 shabbath > ,  and I am profaned <2490 chalal > among <8432 tavek > them .

 : 27 Her princes <8269 sar > in the midst <7130 qereb > thereof  [ are ]  like wolves <2061 z@>eb > ravening <2963 taraph > the prey <2964 tereph > ,  to shed <8210 shaphak > blood <1818 dam > ,   [ and ]  to destroy <6> souls <5315 nephesh > ,  to get <1214 batsa< > dishonest <1215 betsa< > gain <1214 batsa< > .

 : 28 And her prophets <5030 nabiy> > have daubed <2902 tuwach > them with untempered <8602 taphel >  [ morter ]  ,  seeing vanity <7723 shav> > ,  and divining <7080 qacam > lies <3576 kazab > unto them ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ,  when the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath not spoken <1696 dabar > .

 : 29 The people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets > have used oppression <6233 <osheq > ,  and exercised robbery <1498 gazel > ,  and have vexed <3238 yanah > the poor <6041 <aniy > and needy <34> : yea ,  they have oppressed <6231 <ashaq > the stranger <1616 ger > wrongfully .

 : 30 And I sought <1245 baqash > for a man <0376 >iysh > among them ,  that should make <1443 gadar > up the hedge <1447 gader > ,  and stand <5975 <amad > in the gap <6556 perets > before <6440 paniym > me for the land <0776 >erets > ,  that I should not destroy <7843 shachath > it : but I found <4672 matsa> > none <3808 lo> > .

 : 31 Therefore have I poured <8210 shaphak > out mine indignation <2195 za<am > upon them ;  I have consumed <3615 kalah > them with the fire <0784 >esh > of my wrath <5678 <ebrah > : their own way <1870 derek > have I recompensed <5414 nathan > upon their heads <7218 ro>sh > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : Ezekiel 23

 : 1 .  The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > again unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 2 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  there were two <8147 sh@nayim > women <0802 >ishshah > ,  the daughters <1121 ben > of one <0259 >echad > mother <0517 >em > :

 : 3 And they committed <2181 zanah > whoredoms in Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ;  they committed <2181 zanah > whoredoms in their youth <5271 na<uwr > : there <8033 sham > were their breasts <7699 shad > pressed <4600 ma<ak > ,  and there <8033 sham > they bruised <6213 <asah > the teats <1717 dad > of their virginity <1331 b@thuwliym > .

 : 4 And the names <8034 shem > of them  [ were ]  Aholah <0170 >Oholah > the elder <1419 gadowl > ,  and Aholibah <0172 >Oholiybah > her sister <0269 >achowth > : and they were mine ,  and they bare <3205 yalad > sons <1121 ben > and daughters <1121 ben > .  Thus  [ were ]  their names <8034 shem > ;  Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >  [ is ]  Aholah <0170 >Oholah > ,  and Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > Aholibah <0172 >Oholiybah > .

 : 5 And Aholah <0170 >Oholah > played the harlot <2181 zanah > when she was mine ;  and she doted <5689 <agab > on <0413 >el > her lovers <0157 >ahab > ,  on <0413 >el > the Assyrians <0804 >Ashshuwr >  [ her ]  neighbours <7138 qarowb > ,

 : 6  [ Which were ]  clothed <3847 labash > with blue <8504 t@keleth > ,  captains<6346 pechah > and rulers <5461 cagan > ,  all <3605 kol > of them desirable <2531 chemed > young <0970 bachuwr > men ,  horsemen <6571 parash > riding <7392 rakab > upon horses <5483 cuwc > .

 : 7 Thus she committed <5414 nathan > her whoredoms <8457 taznuwth > with them ,  with all them  [ that were ]  the chosen <4005 mibchar > men <1121 ben > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > ,  and with all <3605 kol > on whom <0834 >aher > she doted <5689 <agab > : with all <3605 kol > their idols <1544 gilluwl > she defiled <2930 tame> > herself .

 : 8 Neither <3808 lo> > left <5800 <azab > she her whoredoms <8457 taznuwth >  [ brought ]  from Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > : for in her youth <5271 na<uwr > they lay <7901 shakab > with her ,  and they bruised <6213 <asah > the breasts <1717 dad > of her virginity <1331 b@thuwliym > ,  and poured <8210 shaphak > their whoredom <8457 taznuwth > upon her .

 : 9 Wherefore <3651 ken > I have delivered <5414 nathan > her into the hand <3027 yad > of her lovers <0157 >ahab > ,  into the hand <3027 yad > of the Assyrians <0804 >Ashshuwr > ,  upon whom <0834 >aher > she doted <5689 <agab > .

 : 10 These <1992 hem > discovered <1540 galah > her nakedness <6172 <ervah > : they took <3947 laqach > her sons <1121 ben > and her daughters <1121 ben > ,  and slew her with the sword <2719 chereb > : and she became <1961 hayah > famous <8034 shem > among women <0802 >ishshah > ;  for they had executed <6213 <asah > judgment <8196 sh@phowt > upon her .

 : 11 .  And when <3588 kiy > her sister <0269 >achowth > Aholibah <0172 >Oholiybah > saw <7200 ra>ah >  [ this ]  ,  she was more corrupt <7843 shachath > in her inordinate <5691 <agabah > love <5691 <agabah > than she ,  and in her whoredoms <8457 taznuwth > more than her sister <0269 >achowth > in  [ her ]  whoredoms <2183 zanuwn > .

 : 12 She doted <5689 <agab > upon the Assyrians <0804 >Ashshuwr >  [ her ]  neighbours <7138 qarowb > ,  captains <6346 pechah > and rulers <5461 cagan > clothed <3847 labash > most gorgeously <4358 miklowl > ,  horsemen <6571 parash > riding <7392 rakab > upon horses <5483 cuwc > ,  all <3605 kol > of them desirable <2531 chemed > young <0970 bachuwr > men .

 : 13 Then I saw <7200 ra>ah > that she was defiled <2930 tame> > ,   [ that ]  they  [ took ]  both <8147 sh@nayim > one <0259 >echad > way <1870 derek > ,

 : 14 And  [ that ]  she increased <3254 yacaph > her whoredoms <8457 taznuwth > : for when she saw <7200 ra>ah > men <0582 >enowsh > pourtrayed <2707 chaqah > upon the wall <7023 qiyr > ,  the images <6754 tselem > of the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > pourtrayed <2710 chaqaq > with vermilion <8350 shashar > ,

 : 15 Girded <2289 chagowr > with girdles <0232 >ezowr > upon their loins <4975 mothen > ,  exceeding <5628 carach > in dyed <2871 tabuwl > attire <2871 tabuwl > upon their heads <7218 ro>sh > ,  all <3605 kol > of them princes <7991 shaliysh > to look <4758 mar>eh > to ,  after the manner <1823 d@muwth > of the Babylonians of Chaldea <3778 Kasdiy > ,  the land <0776 >erets > of their nativity <4138 mowledeth > :

 : 16 And as soon <4758 mar>eh > as she saw them with her eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  she doted <5689 <agab > upon them ,  and sent <7971 shalach > messengers <4397 mal>ak > unto them into Chaldea <3778 Kasdiy > .

 : 17 And the Babylonians came <0935 bow> > to her into the bed <4904 mishkab > of love <1730 dowd > ,  and they defiled <2930 tame> > her with their whoredom <8457 taznuwth > ,  and she was polluted <2930 tame> > with them ,  and her mind <5315 nephesh > was alienated <3363 yaqa< > from them .

 : 18 So she discovered <1540 galah > her whoredoms <8457 taznuwth > ,  and discovered <1540 galah > her nakedness <6172 <ervah > : then my mind <5315 nephesh > was alienated <3363 yaqa< > from her ,  like as my mind <5315 nephesh > was alienated <5361 naqa< > from her sister <0269 >achowth > .

 : 19 Yet she multiplied <7235 rabah > her whoredoms <8457 taznuwth > ,  in calling <2142 zakar > to remembrance <2142 zakar > the days <3117 yowm > of her youth <5271 na<uwr > ,  wherein <0834 >aher > she had played the harlot <2181 zanah > in the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > .

 : 20 For she doted <5689 <agab > upon their paramours <6370 piylegesh > ,  whose flesh <1320 basar >  [ is as ]  the flesh <1320 basar > of asses <2543 chamowr > ,  and whose issue <2231 zirmah >  [ is like ]  the issue <2231 zirmah > of horses <5483 cuwc > .

 : 21 Thus thou calledst <6485 paqad > to remembrance <6485 paqad > the lewdness <2154 zimmah > of thy youth <5271 na<uwr > ,  in bruising <6213 <asah > thy teats <1717 dad > by the Egyptians <4714 Mitsrayim > for the paps <7699 shad > of thy youth <5271 na<uwr > .

 : 22 .  Therefore <3651 ken > ,  O Aholibah <0172 >Oholiybah > ,  thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will raise <5782 <uwr > up thy lovers <0157 >ahab > against <5921 <al > thee ,  from whom thy mind <5315 nephesh > is alienated <5361 naqa< > ,  and I will bring <0935 bow> > them against <5921 <al > thee on every <5437 cabab > side <5439 cabiyb > ;

 : 23 The Babylonians ,  and all <3605 kol > the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > ,  Pekod <6489 P@qowd > ,  and Shoa <7772 Showa< > ,  and Koa <6970 Qowa< > ,   [ and ]  all <3605 kol > the Assyrians <0804 >Ashshuwr > with them : all <3605 kol > of them desirable <2531 chemed > young <0970 bachuwr > men ,  captains <6346 pechah > and rulers <5461 cagan > ,  great <7991 shaliysh > lords <7991 shaliysh > and renowned <7121 qara> > ,  all <3605 kol > of them riding <7392 rakab > upon horses <5483 cuwc > .

 : 24 And they shall come <0935 bow> > against <5921 <al > thee with chariots <2021 hotsen > ,  wagons <7393 rekeb > ,  and wheels <1534 galgal > ,  and with an assembly <6951 qahal > of people <5971 <am > ,   [ which ]  shall set <7760 suwm > against <5921 <al > thee buckler <6793 tsinnah > and shield <4043 magen > and helmet <6959 qowba< > round <5439 cabiyb > about : and I will set <5414 nathan > judgment <4941 mishpat > before <6440 paniym > them ,  and they shall judge <8199 shaphat > thee according to their judgments <4941 mishpat > .

 : 25 And I will set <5414 nathan > my jealousy <7068 qin>ah > against thee ,  and they shall deal <6213 <asah > furiously <2534 chemah > with thee : they shall take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > thy nose <0639 >aph > and thine ears <0241 >ozen > ;  and thy remnant <0319 >achariyth > shall fall <5307 naphal > by the sword <2719 chereb > : they shall take <3947 laqach > thy sons <1121 ben > and thy daughters <1121 ben > ;  and thy residue <0319 >achariyth > shall be devoured <0398 >akal > by the fire <0784 >esh > .

 : 26 They shall also strip <6584 pashat > thee out of thy clothes <0899 beged > ,  and take <3947 laqach > away thy fair <8597 tiph>arah > jewels <3627 k@liy > .

 : 27 Thus will I make thy lewdness <2154 zimmah > to cease <7673 shabath > from thee ,  and thy whoredom <2184 z@nuwth >  [ brought ]  from the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > : so that thou shalt not lift <5375 nasa> > up thine eyes <5869 <ayin > unto them ,  nor <3808 lo> > remember <2142 zakar > Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > any more <5750 <owd > .

 : 28 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will deliver <5414 nathan > thee into the hand <3027 yad >  [ of them ]  whom <0834 >aher > thou hatest <8130 sane> > ,  into the hand <3027 yad >  [ of them ]  from whom <0834 >aher > thy mind <5315 nephesh > is alienated <5361 naqa< > :

 : 29 And they shall deal <6213 <asah > with thee hatefully <8135 sin>ah > ,  and shall take <3947 laqach > away all <3605 kol > thy labour <3018 y@giya< > ,  and shall leave <5800 <azab > thee naked <5903 <eyrom > and bare <6181 <eryah > : and the nakedness <6172 <ervah > of thy whoredoms <2183 zanuwn > shall be discovered <1540 galah > ,  both thy lewdness <2154 zimmah > and thy whoredoms <8457 taznuwth > .

 : 30 I will do <6213 <asah > these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  unto thee ,  because thou hast gone a whoring <2181 zanah > after <0310 >achar > the heathen <1471 gowy > ,   [ and ]  because thou art polluted <2930 tame> > with their idols <1544 gilluwl > .

 : 31 Thou hast walked <1980 halak > in the way <1870 derek > of thy sister <0269 >achowth > ;  therefore will I give <5414 nathan > her cup <3563 kowc > into thine hand <3027 yad > .

 : 32 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Thou shalt drink <8354 shathah > of thy sister s <0269 >achowth > cup <3563 kowc > deep <6013 <amoq > and large <7342 rachab > : thou shalt be laughed <6712 ts@choq > to scorn and had in derision <3932 la<ag > ;  it containeth <3557 kuwl > much <4767 mirbah > .

 : 33 Thou shalt be filled <4390 male> > with drunkenness <7943 shikkarown > and sorrow <3015 yagown > ,  with the cup <3563 kowc > of astonishment <8047 shammah > and desolation <8077 sh@mamah > ,  with the cup <3563 kowc > of thy sister <0269 >achowth > Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > .

 : 34 Thou shalt even drink <8354 shathah > it and suck <4680 matsah >  [ it ]  out ,  and thou shalt break <1633 garam > the sherds <2789 cheres > thereof ,  and pluck <5423 nathaq > off thine own breasts <7699 shad > : for I have spoken <1696 dabar >  [ it ]  ,  saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : 35 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Because <3282 ya<an > thou hast forgotten <7911 shakach > me ,  and cast <7998 shalal > me behind <0310 >achar > thy back <1458 gav > ,  therefore bear <5375 nasa> > thou also <1571 gam > thy lewdness <2154 zimmah > and thy whoredoms <8457 taznuwth > .

 : 36 .  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > moreover unto me ;  Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  wilt thou judge <8199 shaphat > Aholah <0170 >Oholah > and Aholibah <0172 >Oholiybah > ?  yea ,  declare <5046 nagad > unto them their abominations <8441 tow<ebah > ;

 : 37 That they have committed <5003 na>aph > adultery <5003 na>aph > ,  and blood <1818 dam >  [ is ]  in their hands <3027 yad > ,  and with their idols <1544 gilluwl > have they committed <5003 na>aph > adultery <5003 na>aph > ,  and have also <1571 gam > caused their sons <1121 ben > ,  whom <0834 >aher > they bare <3205 yalad > unto me ,  to pass <5674 <abar > for them through  [ the fire ]  ,  to devour <0402 >oklah >  [ them ]  .

 : 38 Moreover <5750 <owd > this <2063 zo>th > they have done <6213 <asah > unto me : they have defiled <2930 tame> > my sanctuary <4720 miqdash > in the same <1931 huw> > day <3117 yowm > ,  and have profaned <2490 chalal > my sabbaths <7676 shabbath > .

 : 39 For when they had slain <7819 shachat > their children <1121 ben > to their idols <1544 gilluwl > ,  then they came <0935 bow> > the same <1931 huw> > day <3117 yowm > into <0413 >el > my sanctuary <4720 miqdash > to profane <2490 chalal > it ;  and ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,  thus <3541 koh > have they done <6213 <asah > in the midst <8432 tavek > of mine house <1004 bayith > .

 : 40 And furthermore <0637 >aph > ,  that ye have sent <7971 shalach > for men <0582 >enowsh > to come <0935 bow> > from far <4801 merchaq > ,  unto whom a messenger <4397 mal>ak >  [ was ]  sent <7971 shalach > ;  and ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,  they came <0935 bow> > : for whom <0834 >aher > thou didst wash <7364 rachats > thyself ,  paintedst <3583 kachal > thy eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  and deckedst <5710 <adah > thyself with ornaments <5716 <adiy > ,

 : 41 And satest <3427 yashab > upon a stately <3520 k@buwddah > bed <4296 mittah > ,  and a table <7979 shulchan > prepared <6186 <arak > before <6440 paniym > it ,  whereupon <5921 <al > thou hast set <7760 suwm > mine incense <7004 q@toreth > and mine oil <8081 shemen > .

 : 42 And a voice <6963 qowl > of a multitude <1995 hamown > being at ease <7961 shalev >  [ was ]  with her : and with the men <0582 >enowsh > of the common <7230 rob > sort  [ were ]  brought <0935 bow> > Sabeans <5433 caba> > from the wilderness <4057 midbar > ,  which put <5414 nathan > bracelets <6781 tsamiyd > upon their hands <3027 yad > ,  and beautiful <8597 tiph>arah > crowns <5850 <atarah > upon their heads <7218 ro>sh > .

 : 43 Then said <0559 >amar > I unto  [ her that was ]  old <1087 baleh > in adulteries <5004 ni>uph > ,  Will they now <6258 <attah > commit <2181 zanah > whoredoms <8457 taznuwth > with her ,  and she  [ with them ]  ?

 : 44 Yet they went <0935 bow> > in unto her ,  as they go <0935 bow> > in unto a woman <0802 >ishshah > that playeth the harlot <2181 zanah > : so <3651 ken > went <0935 bow> > they in unto Aholah <0170 >Oholah > and unto Aholibah <0172 >Oholiybah > ,  the lewd <2154 zimmah > women <0802 >ishshah > .

 : 45 And the righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > men <0582 >enowsh > ,  they shall judge <8199 shaphat > them after the manner <4941 mishpat > of adulteresses <5003 na>aph > ,  and after the manner <4941 mishpat > of women that shed <8210 shaphak > blood <1818 dam > ;  because <3588 kiy > they  [ are ]  adulteresses <5003 na>aph > ,  and blood <1818 dam >  [ is ]  in their hands <3027 yad > .

 : 46 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  I will bring <5927 <alah > up a company <6951 qahal > upon them ,  and will give <5414 nathan > them to be removed <2189 za<avah > and spoiled <0957 baz > .

 : 47 And the company <6951 qahal > shall stone <7275 ragam > them with stones <68> ,  and dispatch <1254 bara> > them with their swords <2719 chereb > ;  they shall slay <4191 muwth > their sons <1121 ben > and their daughters <1121 ben > ,  and burn <8313 saraph > up their houses <1004 bayith > with fire <0784 >esh > .

 : 48 Thus will I cause lewdness <2154 zimmah > to cease <7673 shabath > out of the land <0776 >erets > ,  that all <3605 kol > women <0802 >ishshah > may be taught <3256 yacar > not to do <6213 <asah > after <0310 >achar > your lewdness <2154 zimmah > .

 : 49 And they shall recompense <5414 nathan > your lewdness <2154 zimmah > upon you ,  and ye shall bear <5375 nasa> > the sins <2399 chet> > of your idols <1544 gilluwl > : and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : Ezekiel 24

 : 1 .  Again in the ninth <8671 t@shiy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > ,  in the tenth <6224 <asiyriy > month <2320 chodesh > ,  in the tenth <6218 <asowr >  [ day ]  of the month <2320 chodesh > ,  the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 2 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  write <3789 kathab > thee the name <8034 shem > of the day <3117 yowm > ,   [ even ]  of this <2088 zeh > same <6106 <etsem > day <3117 yowm > : the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > set <5564 camak > himself against <0413 >el > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > this <2088 zeh > same <6106 <etsem > day <3117 yowm > .

 : 3 And utter <4911 mashal > a parable <4912 mashal > unto the rebellious <4805 m@riy > house <1004 bayith > ,  and say <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Set <8239 shaphath > on a pot <5518 ciyr > ,  set <8239 shaphath >  [ it ]  on ,  and also <1571 gam > pour <3332 yatsaq > water <4325 mayim > into it :

 : 4 Gather <0622 >acaph > the pieces <5409 nethach > thereof into it ,   [ even ]  every <3605 kol > good <2896 towb > piece <5409 nethach > ,  the thigh <3409 yarek > ,  and the shoulder <3802 katheph > ;  fill <4390 male> >  [ it ]  with the choice <4005 mibchar > bones <6106 <etsem > .

 : 5 Take <3947 laqach > the choice <4005 mibchar > of the flock <6629 tso>n > ,  and burn <1754 duwr > also <1571 gam > the bones <6106 <etsem > under <8478 tachath > it ,   [ and ]  make it boil <7570 rathach > well <7571 rethach > ,  and let them seethe <1310 bashal > the bones <6106 <etsem > of it therein <8432 tavek > .

 : 6 Wherefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Woe <0188 >owy > to the bloody <1818 dam > city <5892 <iyr > ,  to the pot <5518 ciyr > whose <0834 >aher > scum <2457 chel>ah >  [ is ]  therein ,  and whose scum <2457 chel>ah > is not gone <3318 yatsa> > out of it !  bring <3318 yatsa> > it out piece <5409 nethach > by piece <5409 nethach > ;  let no <3808 lo> > lot <1486 gowral > fall <5307 naphal > upon it .

 : 7 For her blood <1818 dam > is in the midst <8432 tavek > of her ;  she set <7760 suwm > it upon the top <6706 ts@chiyach > of a rock <5553 cela< > ;  she poured <8210 shaphak > it not upon the ground <0776 >erets > ,  to cover <3680 kacah > it with dust <6083 <aphar > ;

 : 8 That it might cause fury <2534 chemah > to come <5927 <alah > up to take vengeance <5359 naqam > ;  I have set <5414 nathan > her blood <1818 dam > upon the top <6706 ts@chiyach > of a rock <5553 cela< > ,  that it should not be covered <3680 kacah > .

 : 9 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Woe <0188 >owy > to the bloody <1818 dam > city <5892 <iyr > !  I will even make the pile <4071 m@duwrah > for fire great <1431 gadal > .

 : 10 Heap <7235 rabah > on wood <6086 <ets > ,  kindle <1814 dalaq > the fire <0784 >esh > ,  consume <8552 tamam > the flesh <1320 basar > ,  and spice <7543 raqach > it well ,  and let the bones <6106 <etsem > be burned <2787 charar > .

 : 11 Then set <5975 <amad > it empty <7385 riyq > upon the coals <1513 gechel> thereof ,  that the brass <5178 n@chosheth > of it may be hot <3179 yacham > ,  and may burn <2787 charar > ,  and  [ that ]  the filthiness <2932 tum>ah > of it may be molten <5413 nathak > in it ,   [ that ]  the scum <2457 chel>ah > of it may be consumed <8552 tamam > .

 : 12 She hath wearied <3811 la>ah >  [ herself ]  with lies <8383 t@>un > ,  and her great <7227 rab > scum <2457 chel>ah > went <3318 yatsa> > not forth <3318 yatsa> > out of her : her scum <2457 chel>ah >  [ shall be ]  in the fire <0784 >esh > .

 : 13 In thy filthiness <2932 tum>ah >  [ is ]  lewdness <2154 zimmah > : because <3282 ya<an > I have purged <2891 taher > thee ,  and thou wast not purged <2891 taher > ,  thou shalt not be purged <2891 taher > from thy filthiness <2932 tum>ah > any more <5750 <owd > ,  till <5704 <ad > I have caused my fury <2534 chemah > to rest <5117 nuwach > upon thee .

 : 14 I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > have spoken <1696 dabar >  [ it ]  : it shall come <0835 >esher > to pass ,  and I will do <6213 <asah >  [ it ]  ;  I will not go <6544 para< > back <6544 para< > ,  neither <3808 lo> > will I spare <2347 chuwc > ,  neither <3808 lo> > will I repent <5162 nacham > ;  according to thy ways <1870 derek > ,  and according to thy doings <5949 <aliylah > ,  shall they judge <8199 shaphat > thee ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : 15 .  Also the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 16 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  behold <2005 hen > ,  I take <3947 laqach > away from thee the desire <4261 machmad > of thine eyes <5869 <ayin > with a stroke <4046 maggephah > : yet neither <3808 lo> > shalt thou mourn <5594 caphad > nor <3808 lo> > weep <1058 bakah > ,  neither <3808 lo> > shall thy tears <1832 dim<ah > run <0935 bow> > down .

 : 17 Forbear <1826 damam > to cry <0602 >anaq > ,  make <6213 <asah > no <3808 lo> > mourning <60> for the dead <4191 muwth > ,  bind <2280 chabash > the tire <6287 p@>er > of thine head upon thee ,  and put <7760 suwm > on thy shoes <5275 na<al > upon thy feet <7272 regel > ,  and cover <5844 <atah > not  [ thy ]  lips <8222 sapham > ,  and eat <0398 >akal > not the bread <3899 lechem > of men <0582 >enowsh > .

 : 18 So I spake <1696 dabar > unto the people <5971 <am > in the morning <1242 boqer > : and at even <6153 <ereb > my wife <0802 >ishshah > died <4191 muwth > ;  and I did <6213 <asah > in the morning <1242 boqer > as I was commanded <6680 tsavah > .

 : 19 And the people <5971 <am > said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Wilt thou not tell <5046 nagad > us what <4100 mah > these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things are ]  to us ,  that thou doest <6213 <asah >  [ so ]  ?

 : 20 Then I answered <0559 >amar > them ,  The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 21 Speak <0559 >amar > unto the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will profane <2490 chalal > my sanctuary <4720 miqdash > ,  the excellency <1347 ga>own > of your strength <5797 <oz > ,  the desire <4261 machmad > of your eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  and that which your soul <5315 nephesh > pitieth <4263 machmal > ;  and your sons <1121 ben > and your daughters <1121 ben > whom <0834 >aher > ye have left <5800 <azab > shall fall <5307 naphal > by the sword <2719 chereb > .

 : 22 And ye shall do <6213 <asah > as I have done <6213 <asah > : ye shall not cover <5844 <atah >  [ your ]  lips <8222 sapham > ,  nor <3808 lo> > eat <0398 >akal > the bread <3899 lechem > of men <0582 >enowsh > .

 : 23 And your tires <6287 p@>er >  [ shall be ]  upon your heads <7218 ro>sh > ,  and your shoes <5275 na<al > upon your feet <7272 regel > : ye shall not mourn <5594 caphad > nor <3808 lo> > weep <1058 bakah > ;  but ye shall pine <4743 maqaq > away for your iniquities <5771 <avon > ,  and mourn <5098 naham > one <0376 >iysh > toward <0413 >el > another <0250 >Ezrachiy > .

 : 24 Thus Ezekiel <3168 Y@chezqe>l > is unto you a sign <4159 mowpheth > : according to all <3605 kol > that he hath done <6213 <asah > shall ye do <6213 <asah > : and when this cometh <0935 bow> > ,  ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : 25 Also ,  thou son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,   [ shall it ]  not  [ be ]  in the day <3117 yowm > when I take <3947 laqach > from them their strength <4581 ma<owz > ,  the joy <4885 masows > of their glory <8597 tiph>arah > ,  the desire <4261 machmad > of their eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  and that whereupon they set <4853 massa> > their minds <5315 nephesh > ,  their sons <1121 ben > and their daughters <1121 ben > ,

 : 26  [ That ]  he that escapeth <6412 paliyt > in that day <3117 yowm > shall come <0835 >esher > unto thee ,  to cause  [ thee ]  to hear <2045 hashma<uwth >  [ it ]  with  [ thine ]  ears <0241 >ozen > ?

 : 27 In that day <3117 yowm > shall thy mouth <6310 peh > be opened <6605 pathach > to him which is escaped <6412 paliyt > ,  and thou shalt speak <1696 dabar > ,  and be no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > dumb <0481 >alam > : and thou shalt be a sign <4159 mowpheth > unto them ;  and they shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : Ezekiel 25

 : 1 .  The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > again unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 2 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  set <7760 suwm > thy face <6440 paniym > against <0413 >el > the Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy > ,  and prophesy <5012 naba> > against <5921 <al > them ;

 : 3 And say <0559 >amar > unto the Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy > ,  Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar > of the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Because <3282 ya<an > thou saidst <0559 >amar > ,  Aha <0253 >ach > ,  against <0413 >el > my sanctuary <4720 miqdash > ,  when <3588 kiy > it was profaned <2490 chalal > ;  and against <0413 >el > the land <0127 >adamah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  when <3588 kiy > it was desolate <8074 shamem > ;  and against <0413 >el > the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  when <3588 kiy > they went into captivity <1473 gowlah > ;

 : 4 Behold <2005 hen > ,  therefore <3651 ken > I will deliver <5414 nathan > thee to the men <1121 ben > of the east <6924 qedem > for a possession <4181 mowrashah > ,  and they shall set <3427 yashab > their palaces <2918 tiyrah > in thee ,  and make <5414 nathan > their dwellings <4908 mishkan > in thee : they shall eat <0398 >akal > thy fruit <6529 p@riy > ,  and they shall drink <8354 shathah > thy milk <2461 chalab > .

 : 5 And I will make <5414 nathan > Rabbah <7237 Rabbah > a stable <5116 naveh > for camels <1581 gamal > ,  and the Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy > a couchingplace <4769 marbets > for flocks <6629 tso>n > : and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 6 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Because <3282 ya<an > thou hast clapped <4222 macha> >  [ thine ]  hands <3027 yad > ,  and stamped <7554 raqa< > with the feet <7272 regel > ,  and rejoiced <8055 samach > in heart <5315 nephesh > with all <3605 kol > thy despite <7589 sh@>at > against <0413 >el > the land <0127 >adamah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;

 : 7 Behold <2005 hen > ,  therefore <3651 ken > I will stretch <5186 natah > out mine hand <3027 yad > upon thee ,  and will deliver <5414 nathan > thee for a spoil <0957 baz > to the heathen <1471 gowy > ;  and I will cut <3772 karath > thee off from the people <5971 <am > ,  and I will cause thee to perish <6> out of the countries <0776 >erets > : I will destroy <8045 shamad > thee ;  and thou shalt know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 8 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Because <3282 ya<an > that Moab <4124 Mow>ab > and Seir <8165 Se<iyr > do say <0559 >amar > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >  [ is ]  like unto all <3605 kol > the heathen <1471 gowy > ;

 : 9 Therefore <3651 ken > ,  behold <2005 hen > ,  I will open <6605 pathach > the side <3802 katheph > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > from the cities <5892 <iyr > ,  from his cities <5892 <iyr >  [ which are ]  on his frontiers <7097 qatseh > ,  the glory <6643 ts@biy > of the country <0776 >erets > ,  Bethjeshimoth <1020 Beyth ha - Y@shiy - mowth > ,  Baalmeon <1186 Ba<al M@<own > ,  and Kiriathaim <7156 Qiryathayim > ,

 : 10 Unto the men <1121 ben > of the east <6924 qedem > with the Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy > ,  and will give <5414 nathan > them in possession <4181 mowrashah > ,  that the Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy > may not be remembered <2142 zakar > among the nations <1471 gowy > .

 : 11 And I will execute <6213 <asah > judgments <8201 shephet > upon Moab <4124 Mow>ab > ;  and they shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 12 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Because <3282 ya<an > that Edom <0123 >Edom > hath dealt <6213 <asah > against the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > by taking vengeance <5359 naqam > ,  and hath greatly offended <0816 >asham > ,  and revenged <5358 naqam > himself upon them ;

 : 13 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  I will also stretch <5186 natah > out mine hand <3027 yad > upon Edom <0123 >Edom > ,  and will cut <3772 karath > off man <0120 >adam > and beast <0929 b@hemah > from it ;  and I will make <5414 nathan > it desolate <2723 chorbah > from Teman <8487 Teyman > ;  and they of Dedan <1719 D@dan > shall fall <5307 naphal > by the sword <2719 chereb > .

 : 14 And I will lay <5414 nathan > my vengeance <5360 n@qamah > upon Edom <0123 >Edom > by the hand <3027 yad > of my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : and they shall do <6213 <asah > in Edom <0123 >Edom > according to mine anger <0639 >aph > and according to my fury <2534 chemah > ;  and they shall know <3045 yada< > my vengeance <5360 n@qamah > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : 15 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Because <3282 ya<an > the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy > have dealt <6213 <asah > by revenge <5360 n@qamah > ,  and have taken vengeance <5359 naqam > with a despiteful <7589 sh@>at > heart <5315 nephesh > ,  to destroy <4889 mashchiyth >  [ it ]  for the old <5769 <owlam > hatred <0342 >eybah > ;

 : 16 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will stretch <5186 natah > out mine hand <3027 yad > upon the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy > ,  and I will cut <3772 karath > off the Cherethims <3774 K@rethiy > ,  and destroy <9> the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of the sea <3220 yam > coast <2348 chowph > .

 : 17 And I will execute <6213 <asah > great <1419 gadowl > vengeance <5360 n@qamah > upon them with furious <2534 chemah > rebukes <8433 towkechah > ;  and they shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  when I shall lay <5414 nathan > my vengeance <5360 n@qamah > upon them .

 : Ezekiel 26

 : 1 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the eleventh year <8141 shaneh > ,  in the first <0259 >echad >  [ day ]  of the month <2320 chodesh > ,   [ that ]  the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 2 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > ,  because <3282 ya<an > that Tyrus <6865 Tsor > hath said <0559 >amar > against <5921 <al > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  Aha <0253 >ach > ,  she is broken <7665 shabar >  [ that was ]  the gates <1817 deleth > of the people <5971 <am > : she is turned <5437 cabab > unto me : I shall be replenished <4390 male> > ,   [ now ]  she is laid waste <2717 charab > :

 : 3 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I  [ am ]  against <5921 <al > thee ,  O Tyrus <6865 Tsor > ,  and will cause many <7227 rab > nations <1471 gowy > to come <5927 <alah > up against <5921 <al > thee ,  as the sea <3220 yam > causeth his waves <1530 gal > to come <5927 <alah > up .

 : 4 And they shall destroy <7843 shachath > the walls <2346 chowmah > of Tyrus <6865 Tsor > ,  and break <2040 harac > down <2040 harac > her towers <4026 migdal > : I will also scrape <5500 cachah > her dust <6083 <aphar > from her ,  and make <5414 nathan > her like the top <6706 ts@chiyach > of a rock <5553 cela< > .

 : 5 It shall be  [ a place for ]  the spreading <4894 mishtowach > of nets <2764 cherem > in the midst <8432 tavek > of the sea <3220 yam > : for I have spoken <1696 dabar >  [ it ]  ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > : and it shall become <1961 hayah > a spoil <0957 baz > to the nations <1471 gowy > .

 : 6 And her daughters <1121 ben > which <0834 >aher >  [ are ]  in the field <7704 sadeh > shall be slain <2026 harag > by the sword <2719 chereb > ;  and they shall know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 7 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will bring <0935 bow> > upon Tyrus <6865 Tsor > Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > ,  a king <4428 melek > of kings <4428 melek > ,  from the north <6828 tsaphown > ,  with horses <5483 cuwc > ,  and with chariots <7393 rekeb > ,  and with horsemen <6571 parash > ,  and companies <6951 qahal > ,  and much <7227 rab > people <5971 <am > .

 : 8 He shall slay <4191 muwth > with the sword <2719 chereb > thy daughters <1121 ben > in the field <7704 sadeh > : and he shall make <5414 nathan > a fort <1785 dayeq > against <5921 <al > thee ,  and cast <8210 shaphak > a mount <5550 col@lah > against <5921 <al > thee ,  and lift <6965 quwm > up the buckler <6793 tsinnah > against <5921 <al > thee .

 : 9 And he shall set <5414 nathan > engines <4239 m@chiy > of war <6904 qobel > against thy walls <2346 chowmah > ,  and with his axes <2719 chereb > he shall break <5422 nathats > down <5422 nathats > thy towers <4026 migdal > .

 : 10 By reason of the abundance <8229 shiph<ah > of his horses <5483 cuwc > their dust <80> shall cover <3680 kacah > thee : thy walls <2346 chowmah > shall shake <7493 ra<ash > at the noise <6963 qowl > of the horsemen <6571 parash > ,  and of the wheels <1534 galgal > ,  and of the chariots <7393 rekeb > ,  when he shall enter <0935 bow> > into thy gates <8179 sha<ar > ,  as men enter <0935 bow> > into a city <5892 <iyr > wherein is made a breach <1234 baqa< > .

 : 11 With the hoofs <6541 parcah > of his horses <5483 cuwc > shall he tread <7429 ramac > down all <3605 kol > thy streets <2351 chuwts > : he shall slay <4191 muwth > thy people <5971 <am > by the sword <2719 chereb > ,  and thy strong <5797 <oz > garrisons <4676 matstsebah > shall go <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the ground <0776 >erets > .

 : 12 And they shall make <5414 nathan > a spoil <7997 shalal > of thy riches <2428 chayil > ,  and make a prey <0962 bazaz > of thy merchandise <7404 r@kullah > : and they shall break <2040 harac > down <2040 harac > thy walls <2346 chowmah > ,  and destroy <5422 nathats > thy pleasant <2532 chemdah > houses <1004 bayith > : and they shall lay <7760 suwm > thy stones <68> and thy timber <6086 <ets > and thy dust <6083 <aphar > in the midst <8432 tavek > of the water <4325 mayim > .

 : 13 And I will cause the noise <1995 hamown > of thy songs <7892 shiyr > to cease <7673 shabath > ;  and the sound <6963 qowl > of thy harps <3658 kinnowr > shall be no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > heard <8085 shama< > .

 : 14 And I will make thee like the top <6706 ts@chiyach > of a rock <5558 celeph > : thou shalt be  [ a place ]  to spread <4894 mishtowach > nets <2764 cherem > upon ;  thou shalt be built <1129 banah > no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > : for I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > have spoken <1696 dabar >  [ it ]  ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : 15 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > to Tyrus <6865 Tsor > ;  Shall not the isles <0339 >iy > shake <7493 ra<ash > at the sound <6963 qowl > of thy fall <4658 mappeleth > ,  when the wounded <2491 chalal > cry <0602 >anaq > ,  when the slaughter <2027 hereg > is made in the midst <8432 tavek > of thee ?

 : 16 Then all <3605 kol > the princes <5387 nasiy> > of the sea <3220 yam > shall come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > from their thrones <3678 kicce> > ,  and lay <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > their robes <4598 m@<iyl > ,  and put <6584 pashat > off their broidered <7553 riqmah > garments <0899 beged > : they shall clothe <3847 labash > themselves with trembling <2731 charadah > ;  they shall sit <3427 yashab > upon the ground <0776 >erets > ,  and shall tremble <2729 charad > at  [ every ]  moment <7281 rega< > ,  and be astonished <8074 shamem > at thee .

 : 17 And they shall take <5375 nasa> > up a lamentation <7015 qiynah > for thee ,  and say <0559 >amar > to thee ,  How <0349 >eyk > art thou destroyed <6> ,   [ that wast ]  inhabited <3427 yashab > of seafaring <3220 yam > men ,  the renowned <1984 halal > city <5892 <iyr > ,  which <0834 >aher > wast strong <2389 chazaq > in the sea <3220 yam > ,  she and her inhabitants <3427 yashab > ,  which <0834 >aher > cause <5414 nathan > their terror <2851 chittiyth >  [ to be ]  on all <3605 kol > that haunt <3427 yashab > it !

 : 18 Now <6258 <attah > shall the isles <0339 >iy > tremble <2729 charad > in the day <3117 yowm > of thy fall <4658 mappeleth > ;  yea ,  the isles <0339 >iy > that  [ are ]  in the sea <3220 yam > shall be troubled <0926 bahal > at thy departure <3318 yatsa> > .

 : 19 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  When I shall make <5414 nathan > thee a desolate <2717 charab > city <5892 <iyr > ,  like the cities <5892 <iyr > that are not inhabited <3427 yashab > ;  when I shall bring <5927 <alah > up the deep <8415 t@howm > upon thee ,  and great <7227 rab > waters <4325 mayim > shall cover <3680 kacah > thee ;
