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

 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

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

<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

Ezekiel 5



 1. And thou, son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam >, take <3947 
laqach > thee a sharp <2299 chad > knife <2719 chereb >, take 
<3947 laqach > thee a barber's <1532 gallab > razor <8593 ta<ar

ro>sh > and upon thy beard <2206 zaqan >: then take <3947 laqach

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

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

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

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].



Ezekiel 6



 1. And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came

Behold <2005 hen >, I, [even] I, will bring <0935 bow> > a sword 
<2719 chereb > upon you, and I will destroy <6> your high <1116 
bamah > places.



 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

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

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

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

 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

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

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

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

<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

 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

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

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

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

<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

 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

<1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > wholly <3605 kol >, 
[are] they unto whom <0834 >aher > the inhabitants <3427 yashab

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

 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

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

<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

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 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

<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

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]:



 11 Say <0559 >amar > unto them which daub <2902 tuwach > [it] 
with untempered <8602 taphel > [morter], that it shall fall 
<5307 naphal >: there shall be an overflowing <7857 shataph > 
shower <1653 geshem >; and ye, O great <0417 >elgabiysh > 
hailstones, shall fall <5307 naphal >; and a stormy <5591 ca<ar 
> wind <7307 ruwach > shall rend <1234 baqa< > [it].



 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;



 16 [To wit], the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > which prophesy <5012 naba> > concerning <0413 >el > 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and which see <2374 chozeh > 
visions <2377 chazown > of peace <7965 shalowm > for her, and 
[there is] no <0369 >ayin > peace <7965 shalowm >, saith <5002 
n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >.



 17. Likewise, thou son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam >, set 
<7760 suwm > thy face <6440 paniym > against <0413 >el > the 
daughters <1121 ben > of thy people <5971 <am >, which prophesy 
<5012 naba> > out of their own heart <3820 leb >; and prophesy 
<5012 naba> > thou against <5921 <al > them,



 18 And say <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >; Woe <1945 howy > 
to the [women] that sew <8609 taphar > pillows <3704 keceth > to 
all <3605 kol > armholes, and make <6213 <asah > kerchiefs <4556 
micpachath > upon the head <7218 ro>sh > of every <3605 kol > 
stature <6967 qowmah > to hunt <6679 tsuwd > souls <5315 nephesh

people <5971 <am >, and will ye save <2421 chayah > the souls 
<5315 nephesh > alive <2421 chayah > [that come] unto you?



 19 And will ye pollute <2490 chalal > me among <0413 >el > my 
people <5971 <am > for handfuls <8168 sho<al > of barley <8184 
s@<orah > and for pieces <6595 path > of bread <3899 lechem >, 
to slay <4191 muwth > the souls <5315 nephesh > that should not 
die <4191 muwth >, and to save <2421 chayah > the souls <5315 
nephesh > alive <2421 chayah > that should not live <2421 chayah 
>, by your lying <3576 kazab > to my people <5971 <am > that 
hear <8085 shama< > [your] lies <3576 kazab >?



 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 >.



 21 Your kerchiefs <4556 micpachath > also will I tear <7167 
qara< >, and deliver <5337 natsal > my people <5971 <am > out of 
your hand <3027 yad >, and they shall be no <3808 lo> > more 
<5750 <owd > in your hand <3027 yad > to be hunted <4686 matsuwd 
>; and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I [am] the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >.



 22 Because <3282 ya<an > with lies <3576 kazab > ye have made 
the heart <3820 leb > of the righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > sad 
<3512 ka>ah >, whom I have not made sad <3510 ka>ab >; and 
strengthened <2388 chazaq > the hands <3027 yad > of the wicked 
<7451 ra< >, that he should not return <7725 shuwb > from his 
wicked <7563 rasha< > way <1870 derek >, by promising <2421 
chayah > him life <2421 chayah >:



 23 Therefore <3651 ken > ye shall see <2372 chazah > no <3808 
lo> > more <5750 <owd > vanity <7723 shav> >, nor <3808 lo> > 
divine <7181 qashab > divinations <7081 qecem >: for I will 
deliver <5337 natsal > my people <5971 <am > out of your hand 
<3027 yad >: and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I [am] the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



Ezekiel 14



 1. Then came <0935 bow> > certain <0582 >enowsh > of the elders 
<2205 zaqen > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > unto me, and sat <3427 
yashab > before <6440 paniym > me.



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



 3 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam >, these <0428 >el-leh > 
men <0582 >enowsh > have set <5927 <alah > up their idols <1544 
gilluwl > in their heart <3820 leb >, and put <5414 nathan > the 
stumblingblock <4383 mikshowl > of their iniquity <5771 <avon > 
before <5227 nokach > their face <6440 paniym >: should I be 
enquired <1875 darash > of at all by them?



 4 Therefore <3651 ken > speak <1696 dabar > unto them, and say 
<0559 >amar > unto them, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >; Every man <0376 
>iysh > of the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
that setteth <5927 <alah > up his idols <1544 gilluwl > in his 
heart <3820 leb >, and putteth <7760 suwm > the stumblingblock 
<4383 mikshowl > of his iniquity <5771 <avon > before <5227 
nokach > his face <6440 paniym >, and cometh <0935 bow> > to the 
prophet <5030 nabiy> >; I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will answer 
<6030 <anah > him that cometh <0935 bow> > according to the 
multitude <7230 rob > of his idols <1544 gilluwl >;



 5 That I may take <8610 taphas > the house <1004 bayith > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in their own heart <3820 leb >, because 
<0834 >aher > they are all <3605 kol > estranged <2114 zuwr > 
from me through their idols <1544 gilluwl >.



 6 Therefore <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 >; 
Repent <7725 shuwb >, and turn <7725 shuwb > [yourselves] from 
your idols <1544 gilluwl >; and turn <7725 shuwb > away your 
faces <6440 paniym > from all <3605 kol > your abominations 
<8441 tow<ebah >.



 7 For every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > of the house <1004 
bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, or of the stranger <1616 
ger > that sojourneth <1481 guwr > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, 
which separateth <5144 nazar > himself from me, and setteth 
<5927 <alah > up his idols <1544 gilluwl > in his heart <3820 
leb >, and putteth <7760 suwm > the stumblingblock <4383 
mikshowl > of his iniquity <5771 <avon > before <5227 nokach > 
his face <6440 paniym >, and cometh <0935 bow> > to a prophet 
<5030 nabiy> > to enquire <1875 darash > of him concerning me; I 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will answer <6030 <anah > him by myself:



 8 And I will set <5414 nathan > my face <6440 paniym > against 
that man <0376 >iysh >, and will make <8074 shamem > him a sign 
<0226 >owth > and a proverb <4912 mashal >, and I will cut <3772 
karath > him off from the midst <8432 tavek > of my people <5971 
<am >; and ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I [am] the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >.



 9 And if <3588 kiy > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > be deceived 
<6601 pathah > when <3588 kiy > he hath spoken <1696 dabar > a 
thing <1697 dabar >, I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > have deceived 
<6601 pathah > that prophet <5030 nabiy> >, and I will stretch 
<5186 natah > out my hand <3027 yad > upon him, and will destroy 
<8045 shamad > him from the midst <8432 tavek > of my people 
<5971 <am > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



 10 And they shall bear <5375 nasa> > the punishment <5771 <avon 
> of their iniquity <5771 <avon >: the punishment <5771 <avon > 
of the prophet <5030 nabiy> > shall be even as the punishment 
<5771 <avon > of him that seeketh <1875 darash > [unto him];



 11 That the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > may 
go <8582 ta<ah > no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > astray <8582 
ta<ah > from me, neither <3808 lo> > be polluted <2930 tame> > 
any <3605 kol > more <5750 <owd > with all <3605 kol > their 
transgressions <6588 pesha< >; but that they may be my people 
<5971 <am >, and I may be their God <0430 >elohiym >, saith 
<5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >.



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



 13 Son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam >, when <3588 kiy > the 
land <0776 >erets > sinneth <2398 chata> > against me by 
trespassing <4603 ma<al > grievously <4604 ma<al >, then will I 
stretch <5186 natah > out mine hand <3027 yad > upon it, and 
will break <7665 shabar > the staff <4294 matteh > of the bread 
<3899 lechem > thereof, and will send <7971 shalach > famine 
<7458 ra<ab > upon it, and will cut <3772 karath > off man <0120 
>adam > and beast <0929 b@hemah > from it:



 14 Though these <0428 >el-leh > three <7969 shalowsh > men 
<0582 >enowsh >, Noah <5146 Noach >, Daniel <1840 Daniye>l >, 
and Job <0347 >Iyowb >, were in it, they should deliver <5337 
natsal > [but] their own souls <5315 nephesh > by their 
righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >, saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord 
<0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >.



 15 If <3863 luw> > I cause noisome <7451 ra< > beasts <2416

and they spoil <7921 shakol > it, so that it be desolate <8077 
sh@mamah >, that no <1097 b@liy > man may pass <5674 <abar > 
through because <6440 paniym > of the beasts <2416 chay >:





 16 [Though] these <0428 >el-leh > three <7969 shalowsh > men 
<0582 >enowsh > [were] in it, [as] I live <2416 chay >, saith 
<5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >, they

 17 Or <0176 >ow > [if] I bring <0935 bow> > a sword <2719

Sword <2719 chereb >, go <5674 <abar > through the land <0776

beast <0929 b@hemah > from it:



 18 Though these <0428 >el-leh > three <7969 shalowsh > men 
<0582 >enowsh > [were] in it, [as] I live <2416 chay >, saith 
<5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >, they

delivered <5337 natsal > themselves.



 19 Or <0176 >ow > [if] I send <7971 shalach > a pestilence 
<1698 deber > into <0413 >el > that land <0776 >erets >, and 
pour <8210 shaphak > out my fury <2534 chemah > upon it in blood 
<1818 dam >, to cut <3772 karath > off from it man <0120 >adam > 
and beast <0929 b@hemah >:



 20 Though Noah <5146 Noach >, Daniel <1840 Daniye>l >, and Job 
<0347 >Iyowb >, [were] in it, [as] I live <2416 chay >, saith 
<5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >, they 
shall deliver <5337 natsal > neither <0518 >im > son <1121 ben >

<5337 natsal > their own souls <5315 nephesh > by their 
righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >.



 21 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 
>Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >; How <0637 >aph > much <0637 >aph

<2416 chay >, and the pestilence <1698 deber >, to cut <3772

 22 Yet, behold <2009 hinneh >, therein shall be left <3498

 23 And they shall comfort <5162 nacham > you, when ye see <7200

Ezekiel 15



 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 >, What <4100 mah > is the 
vine <1612 gephen > tree <6086 <ets > more than any tree <6086

 3 Shall wood <6086 <ets > be taken <3947 laqach > thereof to do

 4 Behold <2009 hinneh >, it is cast <5414 nathan > into the

devoureth <0398 >akal > both <8147 sh@nayim > the ends <7098

 5 Behold <2009 hinneh >, when it was whole <8549 tamiym >, it

 6 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

 7 And I will set <5414 nathan > my face <6440 paniym > against

 8 And I will make <5414 nathan > the land <0776 >erets >

Ezekiel 16



 1. Again the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

Canaan <3667 K@na<an >; thy father <1> [was] an Amorite <0567 
>Emoriy >, and thy mother <0517 >em > an Hittite <2850 Chittiy >.



 4 And [as for] thy nativity <4138 mowledeth >, in the day <3117 
yowm > thou wast born <3205 yalad > thy navel <8270 shor > was 
not cut <3772 karath >, neither <3808 lo> > wast thou washed 
<7364 rachats > in water <4325 mayim > to supple <4935 mish<iy > 
[thee]; thou wast not salted <4414 malach > at all, nor <3808 
lo> > swaddled <2853 chathal > at all.



 5 None <3808 lo> > eye <5869 <ayin > pitied <2347 chuwc > thee, 
to do <6213 <asah > any <0259 >echad > of these <0428 >el-leh > 
unto thee, to have compassion <2550 chamal > upon thee; but thou 
wast cast <7993 shalak > out in the open <6440 paniym > field 
<7704 sadeh >, to the lothing <1604 go<al > of thy person <5315 
nephesh >, in the day <3117 yowm > that thou wast born <3205 
yalad >.



 6. And when I passed <5674 <abar > by thee, and saw <7200 ra>ah 
> thee polluted <0947 buwc > in thine own blood <1818 dam >, I 
said <0559 >amar > unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood <1818 
dam >, Live <2421 chayah >; yea, I said <0559 >amar > unto thee 
[when thou wast] in thy blood <1818 dam >, Live <2421 chayah >.



 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 > upon thee, 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

<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

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

<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

 48 [As] I live <2416 chay >, saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136

<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

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

<8441 tow<ebah > more than they, and hast justified <6663 tsadaq

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

P@lishtiy >, which despise <7590 sha>t > thee round <5439 cabiyb

 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

laqach > thy sisters <0269 >achowth >, thine elder <1419 gadowl

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 >:



 63 That thou mayest remember <2142 zakar >, and be confounded 
<0954 buwsh >, and never <3808 lo> > open <6610 pithchown > thy 
mouth <6310 peh > any more <5750 <owd > because <6440 paniym > 
of thy shame <3639 k@limmah >, when I am pacified <3722 kaphar > 
toward thee for all <3605 kol > that thou hast done <6213 <asah

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

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

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

right <6666 ts@daqah >,



 6 [And] hath not eaten <0398 >akal > upon the mountains <2022

<5869 <ayin > to the idols <1544 gilluwl > of the house <1004

 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>

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

 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

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

[any] one <0259 >echad > of these <0428 >el-leh > [things],



 11 And that doeth <6213 <asah > not any <3605 kol > of those

 12 Hath oppressed <3238 yanah > the poor <6041 <aniy > and 
needy <34>, hath spoiled <1497 gazal > by violence <1500 g@zelah

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

<5869 <ayin > to the idols <1544 gilluwl > of the house <1004

 16 Neither <3808 lo> > hath oppressed <3238 yanah > any <0376

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

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

ways <1870 derek > unequal?



 26 When a righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > [man] turneth <7725 shuwb

<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

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

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 <1482 guwr >: 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>

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

<1875 darash > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and sat <3427 yashab

 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

<0935 bow> > to enquire <1875 darash > of me? [As] I live <2416

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

 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

<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

 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

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

 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

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

<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

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

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

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

<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

and it shall devour <0398 >akal > every <3605 kol > green <3892

<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

 48 And all <3605 kol > flesh <1320 basar > shall see <7200

 49 Then said <0559 >amar > I, Ah <0162 >ahahh > Lord <0136

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

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

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

mitsnepheth >, and take <7311 ruwm > off the crown <5850 <atarah

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

[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

Ezekiel 22



 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

<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

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

 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

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

 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

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

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-

 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

Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar > of the Lord <0136

<3282 ya<an > thou saidst <0559 >amar >, Aha <0253 >ach >, 
against <0413 >el > my sanctuary <4720 miqdash >, when <3588 kiy

land <0127 >adamah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, when <3588 kiy

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

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

clapped <4222 macha> > [thine] hands <3027 yad >, and stamped

 8. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay

Mow>ab > and Seir <8165 Se<iyr > do say <0559 >amar >, Behold 
<2009 hinneh >, the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah

 9 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2005 hen >, I will open <6605

the cities <5892 <iyr >, from his cities <5892 <iyr > [which

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

 11 And I will execute <6213 <asah > judgments <8201 shephet >

I [am] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 12 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay

>Edom > hath dealt <6213 <asah > against the house <1004 bayith

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

<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

<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

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
