26-EZEKIEL
26-1:1 Now
it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in
the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar,
that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
26-1:2 In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth
year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity,
26-1:3 The
word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and
the hand of the LORD was there upon him.
26-1:16 The
appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl:
and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it
were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
26-1:20 Whithersoever
the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels
were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
26-1:21 When
those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were
lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the
spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
26-1:28 As
the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the
brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of
the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one
that spake.
26-3:3 And
he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with
this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
26-3:10 Moreover
he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
26-3:14 So
the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in
bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the
hand of the LORD was strong upon me.
26-3:18 When
I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning,
nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same
wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his
blood will I require at thine hand.
26-3:19 Yet
if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his
wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but
thou hast delivered thy soul.
26-3:20 Again,
When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and
I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given
him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his
righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I
require at thine hand.
26-4:9 Take
thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and
fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make
thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon
thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
26-4:12 And
thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh
out of man, in their sight.
26-4:14 Then
said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth
up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my
mouth.
26-4:16 Moreover
he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and
with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:
26-5:2 Thou
shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst
of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a
third part, and smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt
scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword
after them.
26-5:3 Thou
shalt also take thereof a few in number, and
bind them in thy skirts.
26-5:4 Then
take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into
all the house of Israel.
26-5:5 Thus
saith the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in
the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her.
26-5:6 And
she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my
statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have
refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.
26-5:7 Therefore
thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are
round about you, and have not walked in my
statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the
judgments of the nations that are round about you;
26-5:8 Therefore
thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute
judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.
26-5:9 And
I will do in thee that which I have not done, and
whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.
26-5:10 Therefore
the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of
thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter
into all the winds.
26-5:12 A
third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be
consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part
shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into
all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.
26-5:13 Thus
shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them,
and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.
26-5:14 Moreover
I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about
thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
26-5:15 So
it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the
nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious
rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it.
26-6:6 In all your dwellingplaces the cities shall be laid
waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid
waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your
images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
26-6:7 And
the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye
shall know that I am the LORD.
26-6:9 And
they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall
be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath
departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols:
and they shall loathe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
26-6:10 And
they shall know that I am the LORD, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.
26-6:13 Then
shall ye know that I am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their
idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in
all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every
thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols.
26-6:14 So
will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more
desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in
all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
26-7:4 And
mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense
thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in
the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
26-7:7 The
morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in
the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding
again of the mountains.
26-7:9 And
mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee
according to thy ways and thine abominations that are in
the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am the LORD that smiteth.
26-7:13 For
the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet
alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not
return; neither shall any strengthen himself in
the iniquity of his life.
26-7:15 The
sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
26-7:19 They
shall cast their silver in the streets, and
their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to
deliver them in the day of the wrath of the
LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it
is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
26-7:20 As
for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in
majesty: but they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable
things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.
26-8:1 And
it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in
the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine
house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD
fell there upon me.
26-8:3 And
he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the
spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the
inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of
jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
26-8:4 And,
behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that
I saw in the plain.
26-8:5 Then
said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north.
So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the
gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the
entry.
26-8:7 And
he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.
26-8:8 Then
said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the
wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold
a door.
26-8:9 And
he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked
abominations that they do here.
26-8:10 So
I went in and saw; and behold every form of
creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel,
pourtrayed upon the wall round about.
26-8:11 And
there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and
in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of
Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and
a thick cloud of incense went up.
26-8:12 Then
said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of
Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD
seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.
26-8:18 Therefore
will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not
spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in
mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
26-9:1 He
cried also in mine ears with a loud voice,
saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man
with his destroying weapon in his hand.
26-9:2 And,
behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the
north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his
hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by
his side: and they went in, and stood beside the
brasen altar.
26-9:4 And
the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of
Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry
for all the abominations that be done in the
midst thereof.
26-9:5 And
to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye
after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye
pity:
26-9:7 And
he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye
forth. And they went forth, and slew in the
city.
26-9:8 And
it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon
my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of
Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon
Jerusalem?
26-10:1 Then
I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was
above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire
stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
26-10:2 And
he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in
between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of
fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.
26-10:3 Now
the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
26-10:6 And
it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying,
Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
26-10:8 And
there appeared in the cherubims the form of a
man’s hand under their wings.
26-10:10 And
as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.
26-10:13 As
for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my
hearing, O wheel.
26-10:17 When
they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up
themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
26-10:19 And
the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were
beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD’S
house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
26-11:2 Then
said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give
wicked counsel in this city:
26-11:6 Ye
have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye
have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
26-11:7 Therefore
thus saith the Lord 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.
26-11:10 Ye
shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the
border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
26-11:11 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:
26-11:12 And
ye shall know that I am the LORD: 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.
26-11:15 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 the LORD: unto us is this land given in possession.
26-11:16 Therefore
say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the
heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be
to them as a little sanctuary in the countries
where they shall come.
26-11:20 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 God.
26-11:24 Afterwards
the spirit took me up, and brought me in a
vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the
vision that I had seen went up from me.
26-12:2 Son
of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a
rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear,
and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.
26-12:3 Therefore,
thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place
to another place in their sight: it may be they
will consider, though they be a rebellious house.
26-12:4 Then
shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their
sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.
26-12:5 Dig
thou through the wall in their sight, and carry
out thereby.
26-12:6 In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders,
and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt
cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign
unto the house of Israel.
26-12:7 And
I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for
captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall
with mine hand; I brought it forth in the
twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in
their sight.
26-12:8 And
in the morning came the word of the LORD unto
me, saying,
26-12:10 Say
thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are
among them.
26-12:12 And
the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig
through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not
the ground with his eyes.
26-12:13 My
net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in
my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet
shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
26-12:15 And
they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the
nations, and disperse them in the countries.
26-12:22 Son
of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the
land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
26-12:23 Tell
them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and
they shall no more use it as a proverb in
Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every
vision.
26-12:25 For
I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to
pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your
days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the
Lord GOD.
26-13:4 O
Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the
deserts.
26-13:5 Ye
have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of
Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.
26-13:9 And
mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies:
they shall not be in the assembly of my people,
neither shall they be written in the writing of
the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye
shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
26-13:13 Therefore
thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it.
26-13:14 So
will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and
bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be
discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
26-13:21 Your
kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they
shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and
ye shall know that I am the LORD.
26-14:3 Son
of man, these men have set up their idols in
their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face:
should I be enquired of at all by them?
26-14:4 Therefore
speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the
house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his
heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh
to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the
multitude of his idols;
26-14:5 That
I may take the house of Israel in their own
heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
26-14:7 For
every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and
setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth
the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to
enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:
26-14:14 Though
these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in
it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the
Lord GOD.
26-14:16 Though
these three men were in it, as I live, saith the
Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be
delivered, but the land shall be desolate.
26-14:18 Though
these three men were in it, as I live, saith the
Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be
delivered themselves.
26-14:19 Or
if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
26-14:20 Though
Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith
the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but
deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
26-14:23 And
they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall
know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.
26-16:4 And
as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born
thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in
water to supple thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
26-16:5 None
eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee;
but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the
loathing of thy person, in the day that thou
wast born.
26-16:6 And
when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in
thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in
thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in
thy blood, Live.
26-16:12 And
I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in
thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.
26-16:15 But
thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and
playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on
every one that passed by; his it was.
26-16:22 And
in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou
hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and
wast polluted in thy blood.
26-16:24 That
thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high
place in every street.
26-16:29 Thou
hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the
land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.
26-16:31 In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;
26-16:34 And
the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to
commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a
reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
26-16:38 And
I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I
will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.
26-16:41 And
they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to
cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.
26-16:43 Because
thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will
recompense thy way upon thine head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit
this lewdness above all thine abominations.
26-16:47 Yet
hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but,
as if that were a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways.
26-16:49 Behold,
this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and
abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand
of the poor and needy.
26-16:51 Neither
hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine
abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done.
26-16:52 Thou
also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins that
thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than
thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.
26-16:53 When
I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters,
and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the
captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:
26-16:54 That
thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in
that thou art a comfort unto them.
26-16:56 For
thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in
the day of thy pride,
26-16:59 For
thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which
hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
26-16:60 Nevertheless
I will remember my covenant with thee in the
days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
26-17:4 He
cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffick;
he set it in a city of merchants.
26-17:5 He
took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in
a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree.
26-17:8 It
was planted in a good soil by great waters, that
it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a
goodly vine.
26-17:9 Say
thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots
thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great
power or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof.
26-17:10 Yea,
behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the
east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the
furrows where it grew.
26-17:15 But
he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors
into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper?
shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be
delivered?
26-17:16 As
I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place
where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose
covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of
Babylon he shall die.
26-17:17 Neither
shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts,
to cut off many persons:
26-17:20 And
I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in
my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for
his trespass that he hath trespassed against me.
26-17:23 In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant
it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and
under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in
the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
26-18:3 As
I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this
proverb in Israel.
26-18:9 Hath
walked in my statutes, and hath kept my
judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.
26-18:17 That
hath taken off his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor
increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in
my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely
live.
26-18:18 As
for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence,
and did that which is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity.
26-18:22 All
his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto
him: in his righteousness that he hath done he
shall live.
26-18:24 But
when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth
iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man
doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be
mentioned: in his trespass that he hath
trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
26-18:26 When
a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity,
and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath
done shall he die.
26-18:32 For
I have no pleasure in the death of him that
dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
26-19:4 The
nations also heard of him; he was taken in their
pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
26-19:8 Then
the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their
net over him: he was taken in their pit.
26-19:9 And
they put him in ward in
chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that
his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
26-19:10 Thy
mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by
the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
26-19:11 And
she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and her stature
was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in
her height with the multitude of her branches.
26-19:12 But
she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to
the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken
and withered; the fire consumed them.
26-19:13 And
now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
26-20:1 And
it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that
certain of the elders of Israel came to enquire of the LORD, and sat before me.
26-20:5 And
say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the
day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of
Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the
land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I am the LORD your
God;
26-20:6 In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to
bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them,
flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands:
26-20:8 But
they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man
cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of
Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger
against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
26-20:9 But
I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted before the
heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I
made myself known unto them, in bringing them
forth out of the land of Egypt.
26-20:11 And
I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he
shall even live in them.
26-20:13 But
the house of Israel rebelled against me in the
wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and
they despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I
said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the
wilderness, to consume them.
26-20:14 But
I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted before the
heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.
26-20:15 Yet
also I lifted up my hand unto them in the
wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them,
flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;
26-20:16 Because
they despised my judgments, and walked not in my
statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
26-20:17 Nevertheless
mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.
26-20:18 But
I said unto their children in the wilderness,
Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers,
neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols:
26-20:19 I
am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and
keep my judgments, and do them;
26-20:21 Notwithstanding
the children rebelled against me: they walked not in
my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall
even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths:
then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against
them in the wilderness.
26-20:22 Nevertheless
I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be
polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth.
26-20:23 I
lifted up mine hand unto them also in the
wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them
through the countries;
26-20:26 And
I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that
openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might
know that I am the LORD.
26-20:27 Therefore,
son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the
Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have
blasphemed me, in that they have committed a
trespass against me.
26-20:36 Like
as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness
of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.
26-20:40 For
in mine holy mountain, in
the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the
house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve
me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the
firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.
26-20:41 I
will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people,
and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will
be sanctified in you before the heathen.
26-20:43 And
there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been
defiled; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your
own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.
26-20:47 And
say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord
GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and
it shall devour every green tree in thee, and
every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the
south to the north shall be burned therein.
26-21:20 Appoint
a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.
26-21:21 For
the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two
ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images,
he looked in the liver.
26-21:22 At
his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open
the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice
with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates, to cast a mount,
and to build a fort.
26-21:23 And
it shall be unto them as a false divination in
their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the
iniquity, that they may be taken.
26-21:24 Therefore
thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I
say, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
