11:1 Moreover the Spirit took me up, and
brought me to the front gate of the house of Yehovah, that looks eastward:
and behold at the entrance of the gate were about five and twenty men; and I
saw in the midst of them Jechonias the son of Ezer, and Phaltias the son of
Banaeas, the leaders of the people.
11:2 And Yehovah said to me, Son of man, these are the men that devise
vanities, and take evil counsel in this city:
11:3 who say, Have not the houses been newly built? This is the caldron, and
we are the flesh.
11:4 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man.
11:5 And the Spirit of Yehovah fell upon me, and said to me, say; Thus
saith Yehovah; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: and I know the devices
of your spirit.
11:6 Ye have multiplied your dead in this city, and ye have filled your ways
with slain men.
11:7 Therefore thus saith Yehovah; Your dead whom ye have smitten in the
midst of it, these are the flesh, and [city] this is the caldron: but I will
bring you forth out of the midst of it.
11:8 Ye fear the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith Yehovah.
11:9 And I will bring you forth out of the midst of it, and will deliver you
into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgements among you.
11:10 Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you on the mountains of
Israel; and ye shall know that I am Yehovah.
11:11
11:12
11:13 And it came to pass, while I was prophesying, that Phaltias the son of
Banaeas died. And I fell upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and
said, Alas, alas, O Lord! wilt thou utterly destroy the remnant of Israel?
11:14 And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
11:15 Son of man, thy brethren, and the men of thy captivity, and all the
house of Israel are come to the ful, to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem
said, Keep ye far away from Yehovah: the land is given to us for an
inheritance.
11:16 Therefore say thou, Thus saith Yehovah; I will cast them off among
the nations, and will disperse them into every land, yet will I be to them
for a little sanctuary in the countries which they shall enter.
11:17 Therefore say thou, Thus saith Yehovah; I will also take them from
the heathen, and gather them out of the lands wherein I have scattered them,
and will give them the land of Israel.
11:18 And they shall enter in there, and shall remove all the abominations
of it, and all its iniquities from it.
11:19 And I will give them another heart, and will put a new spirit within
them; and will extract the heart of stone from their flesh, and give them a
heart of flesh:
11:20 that they may walk in my commandments, and keep mine ordinances, and
do them: and they shall be to me a people, and I will be to them a Elohim.
11:21 And as for the heart [set upon] their abominations and their
iniquities, as their heart went [after them], I have recompensed their ways
on their heads, saith Yehovah.
11:22 Then the cherubs lifted up their wings, and the wheels beside them;
and the glory of the Elohim of Israel was over them above.
11:23 And the glory of Yehovah went up from the midst of the city, and
stood on the mountain which was in front of the city.
11:24 And the Spirit took me up, and brought me to the land of the Chaldeans,
to the captivity, in a vision by the Spirit of Elohim: and I went up after the
vision which I saw.
11:25 And I spoke to the captivity all the words of Yehovah which he had
shewed me. |
11:1 Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and
brought me unto the east gate of Yehovah's house, which looketh eastward:
and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw
Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the
people.
11:2 Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise
mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:
11:3 Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the
caldron, and we be the flesh.
11:4 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.
11:5 And the Spirit of Yehovah fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus
saith Yehovah; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things
that come into your mind, every one of them.
11:6 Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the
streets thereof with the slain.
11:7 Therefore thus saith Yehovah GOD; Your slain whom ye have laid in the
midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I will
bring you forth out of the midst of it.
11:8 Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the
Lord GOD.
11:9 And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the
hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
11:10 Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel;
and ye shall know that I am Yehovah.
11:11 This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in
the midst thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel:
11:12 And ye shall know that I am Yehovah: for ye have not walked in my
statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of
the heathen that are round about you.
11:13 And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of
Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice,
and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
11:14 Again the word of Yehovah came unto me, saying,
11:15 Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred,
and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of
Jerusalem have said, Get you far from Yehovah: unto us is this land given
in possession.
11:16 Therefore say, Thus saith Yehovah GOD; Although I have cast them far
off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the
countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries
where they shall come.
11:17 Therefore say, Thus saith Yehovah GOD; I will even gather you from
the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been
scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
11:18 And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the
detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within
you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them
an heart of flesh:
11:20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do
them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their Elohim.
11:21 But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their
detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon
their own heads, saith Yehovah GOD.
11:22 Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside
them; and the glory of the Elohim of Israel was over them above.
11:23 And the glory of Yehovah went up from the midst of the city, and
stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
11:24 Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the
Spirit of Elohim into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I
had seen went up from me.
11:25 Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that Yehovah
had shewed me. |
