Ezekiel 11 📜 📕 ↷
Evil in High Places
1 AND the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the east gate of the house of our Lord, which looketh to the rising of the sun: and behold in the entry of the gate five and twenty men: and I saw in the midst of them Jezonias the son of Azur, & Pheltias the son of Banaias, the Princes of the people.📜💬📚
2 And he said to me: Son of man, these are the men that conceive iniquity, and devise most wicked counsel in this city,📜💬📚
3 saying: Were not houses builded of late? This is the caldron, & we the flesh.📜💬📚
4 Therefore prophesy of them, prophesy thou son of man.📜💬📚
5 And the spirit of our Lord fell upon me, & said to me: Speak: Thus saith our Lord: So have you spoken, o house of Israel, & the cogitations of your heart I know.📜💬📚
6 Very many have you killed in this city, and you have filled the ways thereof with the slain.📜💬📚
7 Therefore thus saith our Lord God: Your slain, whom you have laid in the midst thereof, these are the flesh, and this is the caldron: and I will bring you out of the midst thereof.📜💬📚
8 The sword you have feared, and the sword I will bring upon you, saith our Lord God.📜💬📚
9 And I will cast you out of the midst thereof, & I will give you into the hand of the enemies, & will do judgements in you.📜💬📚
10 You shall fall by the sword: in the borders of Israel will I judge you, and you shall know that I am the Lord.📜💬📚
11 This shall not be as a caldron to you, and you shall not be as flesh in the midst thereof, in the borders of Israel I will judge you.📜💬📚
12 And you shall know that I am the Lord: because you have not walked in my precepts, and have not done my judgements, but you have done according to the judgements of nations, that are round about you.📜💬📚
A Promise of Restoration
13 And it came to pass, when I prophesied, Pheltias the son of Banaias died: and I fell upon my face, crying with a loud voice: and said: Alas, alas, alas, o Lord God: makest thou a consummation of the remnant of Israel?📜💬📚
14 And the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:📜💬📚
15 Son of man thy brethren, thy brethren, thy kinsmen, and all the house of Israel, all to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said: Depart ye far from our Lord, the land is given to us in possession.📜💬📚
16 Therefore thus saith our Lord God: Because I have made them far off in the Gentiles, and because I have dispersed them in the lands: I will be a little sanctification to them in the lands, to which they are come.📜💬📚
17 Therefore speak: Thus saith our Lord God: I will gather you out of the peoples, and unite you out of the lands, wherein you are dispersed, and I will give you the ground of Israel.📜💬📚
18 And they shall go in thither, and shall take away all the offences, and all the abominations thereof out of it.📜💬📚
19 And I will give them one heart, and will give a new spirit in their bowels: and I will take away the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a fleshy heart:📜💬📚
20 that they may walk in my precepts, and keep my judgements, and do them: and they may be my people, and I may be their God.📜💬📚
21 Whose heart walketh after their offences and abominations, their way will I lay on their head, saith our Lord God.📜💬📚
God's Glory Leaves Jerusalem
22 And the Cherubs lifted up their wings, and the wheels with them: and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.📜💬📚
23 And the glory of our Lord ascended from the midst of the city, and stood over the mount, that is on the east side of the city.📜💬📚
24 And the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into Chaldee to the transmigration, in a vision in the spirit of God: and the vision which I had seen was taken up from me.📜💬📚
25 And I spake to the transmigration all the words of our Lord, which he had shewed me.📜💬📚
