Ezekiel, Chapter 11
1 Moreover, the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the LORD’S house which faced eastward. And behold, there were twenty-five men at the entrance of the gate, and among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people. 2 He said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and give evil advice in this city, 3 who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses.aThis city is the pot and we are the flesh.’ 4 Therefore, prophesy against them, son of man, prophesy!” | |
5 Then the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and He said to me, “Say, ‘Thus says the LORD, “So you think, house of Israel, for I knowbyour thoughts. 6 You have multiplied your slain in this city, filling its streets withcthem.” 7 Therefore, thus says the LorddGOD, “Your slain whom you have laid in the midst ofethe city are the flesh and this city is the pot; butfI will bring you out of it. 8 You have feared a sword; so I will bring a sword upon you,” the Lord GOD declares. 9 “And I will bring you out of the midst ofgthe city and deliver you into the hands of strangers and execute judgments against you. 10 You will fall by the sword. I will judge you to the border of Israel; so you shall know that I am the LORD. 11 This city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be flesh in the midst of it, but I will judge you to the border of Israel. 12 Thus you will know that I am the LORD; for you have not walked in My statutes nor have you executed My ordinances, but have acted according to the ordinances of the nations around you.”’” | |
14 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 15 “Son of man, your brothers, yourhrelatives,iyour fellow exiles and the whole house of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Go far from the LORD; this land has been given us as a possession.’ 16 Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Though I had removed them far away among the nations and though I had scattered them among the countries, yet I was a sanctuary for them a little while in the countries where they had gone.”’ 17 Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries among which you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.”’ 18 When they come there, they will remove all its detestable things and all its abominations from it. 19 And I will give them one heart, and put a new spirit withinjthem. And I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, 20 that they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances and do them. Then they will be My people, and I shall be their God. 21 kBut as for those whose hearts go after their detestable things and abominations, I will bring their conduct down on their heads,” declares the Lord GOD. | |
22 Then the cherubim lifted up their wings with the wheels beside them, and the glory of the God of Israellhovered over them. 23 The glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city and stood over the mountain which is east of the city. 24 And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God to the exilesmin Chaldea. So the vision that I had seennleft me. 25 Then I told the exiles all the things that the LORD had shown me. |
