Ezekiel 11:1-13 ▼

1 And the spirit will lift me up and bring me to the east gate of the house of Jehovah looking to the east: and behold, in the door of the gate, twenty and five men; and I shall see in the midst of them Jaazaniah, son of Azur, and Pelatiah, son of Benaiah, chiefs of the people.

2 And he will say to say to me, Son of man, these the men purposing vanity and counseling evil counsel in this city.

3 Saying, It not being near; build houses: this the pot, and we the flesh.

4 For this, prophesy against them, prophesy, thou son of man.

5 And the spirit of Jehovah will fall upon me, and he will say to me, Say, Thus said Jehovah; Thus ye said, O house of Israel: and the risings of your spirit, I knew it.

6 Ye multiplied your wounded in this city, and ye filled its streets with the wounded.

7 For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Your wounded which ye set in her midst, they the flesh, and this the pot: and I brought you forth from its midst.

8 Ye feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, says the Lord Jehovah.

9 And I brought you from its midst, and I gave you into the hand of strangers and I did judgment upon you.

10 By the sword shall ye fall upon the bound of Israel; I will judge you and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

11 This shall not be to you for a pot, and ye shall not be in the midst of her for flesh; upon the bound of Israel will I judge you.

12 And ye shall know That I am Jehovah: for in my laws ye went not, and my judgments ye did not; and according to the judgments of the nations round about you ye did.

13 And it will be as I prophesied, and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, died. And I shall fall upon my face and cry with a great voice, and saying, Ah. Lord Jehovah, thou makest a completion with the remnant of Israel.
