The Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the house of the LORD, which faces east. And behold, at the entrance of the gateway there were twenty-five men. And I saw among them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people. Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the house of the LORD that faces east. There at the entrance of the gate were twenty-five men, and I saw among them Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.
2 Then sayde he vnto me, Thou sonne of man, these men imagine mischiefe, & a wicked counsayle take they in this citie, And he said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and who give wicked counsel in this city; The LORD said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who are plotting evil and giving wicked advice in this city.
3 Saying, It is not neare, let vs builde houses: this Hierusalem is the cauldron, and we be the fleshe. who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses.

4 Therfore shalt thou prophecie against them: yea prophecie O sonne of man. Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, O son of man.” Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, son of man.”
5 And with that fell the spirite of the Lorde vpon me, and sayde vnto me, Speake, thus saith the Lorde: On this maner haue ye spoken (O ye house of Israel) and I knowe the imaginations of your heartes. And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and he said to me, “Say, Thus says the LORD: So you think, O house of Israel. For I know the things that come into your mind. Then the Spirit of the LORD came on me, and he told me to say: “This is what the LORD says: That is what you are saying, you leaders in Israel, but I know what is going through your mind.
6 Many one haue ye murthered in this citie, and fylled the streetes full of the slayne: You have multiplied your slain in this city and have filled its streets with the slain. You have killed many people in this city and filled its streets with the dead.
7 Therfore thus saith the Lorde God, The slayne men that ye haue layde on the grounde in the citie are the fleshe, and this citie is the cauldron: but I wyll bryng you out of it, Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of it, they are the meat, and this city is the cauldron, but you shall be brought out of the midst of it. “Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: The bodies you have thrown there are the meat and this city is the pot, but I will drive you out of it.
8 (11:7) ye haue feared the sworde, and I wyll bring a sworde ouer you, saith the Lorde God. You have feared the sword, and I will bring the sword upon you, declares the Lord GOD. You fear the sword, and the sword is what I will bring against you, declares the Sovereign LORD.

And I will bring you out of the midst of it, and give you into the hands of foreigners, and execute judgments upon you. I will drive you out of the city and deliver you into the hands of foreigners and inflict punishment on you.
10 Ye shall fall by the sworde, in the borders of Israel wyll I iudge you, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lorde. You shall fall by the sword. I will judge you at the border of Israel, and you shall know that I am the LORD. You will fall by the sword, and I will execute judgment on you at the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
11 This citie shall not be your cauldron, neither shall ye be the fleshe therin: but in the borders of Israel wyll I punishe you, This city shall not be your cauldron, nor shall you be the meat in the midst of it. I will judge you at the border of Israel, This city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be the meat in it; I will execute judgment on you at the borders of Israel.
12 That ye may knowe that I am the Lorde, in whose commaundementes ye haue not walked, nor kept my lawes: but haue done after the customes of the heathen that lye rounde about you. and you shall know that I am the LORD. For you have not walked in my statutes, nor obeyed my rules, but have acted according to the rules of the nations that are around you.” And you will know that I am the LORD, for you have not followed my decrees or kept my laws but have conformed to the standards of the nations around you.”
13 Nowe when I prophecied, Pheltiah the sonne of Banaiahu dyed: then fell I downe vpon my face, and cryed with a loude voyce, saying, Ah Lorde God, wylt thou then vtterly destroy all the remnaunt in Israel? And it came to pass, while I was prophesying, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face and cried out with a loud voice and said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?” Now as I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell facedown and cried out in a loud voice, “Alas, Sovereign LORD! Will you completely destroy the remnant of Israel?”
14 And so the worde of the Lorde came vnto me on this maner. And the word of the LORD came to me: The word of the LORD came to me:
15 Thou sonne of man, thy brethren euen thy brethren, the men of thy kinrede, and all the house of Israel, wholly are they vnto whom the inhabitauntes of Hierusalem haue sayde withdrawe ye farre from the Lorde, for the lande is geuen vs in possession. “Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, your kinsmen, the whole house of Israel, all of them, are those of whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Go far from the LORD; to us this land is given for a possession.’ “Son of man, the people of Jerusalem have said of your fellow exiles and all the other Israelites, ‘They are far away from the LORD; this land was given to us as our possession.’
16 Therfore tell them, thus saith the God: Although I sende them farre of among the gentiles, and scatter them among the nations, yet wyll I be to them as a litle sanctuarie in the landes where they shall come. Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: Though I removed them far off among the nations, and though I scattered them among the countries, yet I have been a sanctuary to them for a while in the countries where they have gone.’ “Therefore say: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for a little while I have been a sanctuary for them in the countries where they have gone.’
17 Tell them also, thus saith the Lorde God, I wyll gather you agayne out of the nations, and bryng you from the countreis where ye be scattered, and I wyll geue you the lande of Israel agayne. Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.’ “Therefore say: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will gather you from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you back the land of Israel again.’
18 And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all their idols, and all their abhominations from thence. And when they come there, they will remove from it all its detestable things and all its abominations. “They will return to it and remove all its vile images and detestable idols.
19 And I wyll geue them one heart, and I wyll put a newe spirite within their bowels: that stony heart wyll I take out of their body, and geue them a fleshlye heart, And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them. I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.
20 That they may walke in my commaundementes, and kepe mine ordinaunces and do them, that they may be my people, and I their God. that they may walk in my statutes and keep my rules and obey them. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God. Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
21 But to the heart of their idols and their abhominations their heart goeth, their wayes wyll I bryng vpon their owne heades, saith the Lorde God. But as for those whose heart goes after their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their deeds upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.” But as for those whose hearts are devoted to their vile images and detestable idols, I will bring down on their own heads what they have done, declares the Sovereign LORD.”
22 After this did the Cherubims lift vp their wynges and the wheeles besides them, and the glorie of the God of Israel was vpon them on hye. Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, with the wheels beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them. Then the cherubim, with the wheels beside them, spread their wings, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
23 So the glorie of the Lorde went vp from the middest of the citie, and stoode vpon the mount of the citie towarde the east. And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city and stood on the mountain that is on the east side of the city. The glory of the LORD went up from within the city and stopped above the mountain east of it.
24 And the spirite toke me vp, & brought me agayne to Chaldea to the captiuitie, in a vision by the spirite of God: then the vision that I had seene went vp from me. And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to the exiles. Then the vision that I had seen went up from me. The Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the exiles in Babylonia in the vision given by the Spirit of God. Then the vision I had seen went up from me,
25 So I spake vnto the captiues all the wordes of the Lorde which he had shewed me. And I told the exiles all the things that the LORD had shown me. and I told the exiles everything the LORD had shown me.
