1And The Spirit picked me up and he brought me to the eastern gate of the house of LORD JEHOVAH that faces to the east, and I saw among them Yazaniah, son of Azur, and Pelatiah, son of Benaiah, the Princes of the people 2And LORD JEHOVAH said to me: “Son of man, these are the men who plot fraud and counsel evil counsels in this city 3And they were saying: ‘Was it not within her that we built houses? She is the caldron and we are the meat!’ 4Therefore prophesy upon them! Prophesy, son of man!”

5And The Spirit of LORD JEHOVAH fell upon me, and he said to me: “Say, ‘thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: in this way you have loved, children of Israel, and the thoughts of your spirit, I know them. 6You have multiplied your slain ones in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain 7Because of this, thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: your slain ones whom you cast within her, those are the meat, and she is the pot, and I bring you forth from inside her 8You were afraid of the sword, and the sword I shall bring upon you, says THE LORD OF LORDS 9And I shall bring you out from within her, and I shall deliver you into the hand of foreigners, and I shall execute judgments of you. 10By the sword you shall fall and upon the borders of Israel I shall judge you, and you shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH 11And she will not be the pot for you and you will not be meat in it, and upon the borders of Israel I shall judge you 12And you shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH, for you did not walk in my commandments and you have not done my judgments, and you have done according to the judgments of the Gentiles that are around you’”

13And when I prophesied, Palatiah son of Beniah died, and I fell on my face, and I cried out in a loud voice and I said, “Ah, LORD OF LORDS, do you make an end of the remnant of Israel?”

14And the answer of LORD JEHOVAH was upon me, saying: 15“Son of man, your brethren, the men of your captivity and all of the house of Israel shall be consumed, for the inhabitants of Jerusalem said to them: ‘Be far removed from LORD JEHOVAH, for the land is given to us for an inheritance!’ 16Because of this, thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: ‘I shall drive them out among the Gentiles, and I shall scatter them in the Earth, and I shall be to them for a little sanctuary in the lands to which they went’ 17Because of this, thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: ‘I shall gather you from the nations, and I shall bring you out from the lands to which you were scattered, and I shall give to you the land of Israel 18And they shall enter it and they shall remove all its idols and all its uncleanness from it 19And I shall give them a new heart, and I shall put a new spirit into them, and I shall remove the heart of stone from their flesh, and I shall give them a heart of flesh 20And they shall walk in my commandments, and they shall keep my judgments and they shall do them, and they shall be to me a people, and I shall be God to them 21For into the mind of their idols and of their abominations their heart has gone. I shall pay their ways upon their heads, says THE LORD OF LORDS”

22And the Cherubim lifted up their wings and the wheels with them, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them 23And the glory of LORD JEHOVAH was lifted up from within the city, and it stood on the mountain which is east of the city 24And The Spirit picked me up and he brought me to the land of the Chaldeans, to the captivity in a vision, and in The Spirit of God, and he took away from me the vision I had seen 25And I spoke with the captivity all of the statements of LORD JEHOVAH that he had shown me
