And he spread it before me, and it was written inside and outside. And there were written in it lamentations and mourning and woe.

Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. Because thou have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which h

Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it a city, even Jerusalem.

And your altars shall become desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken, and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.

And I will lay the dead bodies of the sons of Israel before their idols, and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.

And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of lord LORD fell there upon me.

And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel. And in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, each man with his censer in his hand, and the odor of the cloud of incense went up.

Kill utterly the old man, the young man, and the virgin, and little sons, and women, but come not near any man upon whom is the mark. And begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men who were before the house.

Then certain of the elders of Israel came to me, and sat before me.

Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their heart, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face. Should I be inquired of at all by them?

Therefore speak to them, and say to them, Thus says lord LORD: Every man of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet, I LORD will

For everyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel, that separates himself from me, and takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prop

And thou took thy embroidered garments, and covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them.

My bread also which I gave thee, fine flour and oil and honey, with which I fed thee, thou even set it before them for a sweet savor, and [thus] it was, says lord LORD.

And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me. Therefore I took them away as I saw [fit].

before thy wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all who are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, who do despite to thee round about.

And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], the tenth [day] of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of LORD, and sat before me.

Sigh therefore, thou son of man. With the breaking of thy loins and with bitterness thou shall sigh before their eyes.

And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.

and sat upon a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon thou did set my incense and my oil.

Will thou yet say before him who slays thee, I am God? But thou are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds thee.

Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty. Thou have corrupted thy wisdom because of thy brightness. I have cast thee to the ground. I have laid thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

In that day messengers shall go forth from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and there shall be anguish upon them, as in the day of Egypt, for, lo, it comes.

And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand. But I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a mortally wounded man.

Yea, I will make many peoples amazed at thee. And their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee when I shall brandish my sword before them. And they shall tremble at every moment, each man for his own life, in the day of thy fall.

Now the hand of LORD had been upon me in the evening, before he who escaped came. And he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning. And my mouth was opened, and I was no more mute.

And they come to thee as the people come, and they sit before thee as my people. And they hear thy words, but do not do them. For with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.

Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their doings. Their way before me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.

And I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them. And the nations shall know that I am LORD, says lord LORD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their ey

And the sticks on which thou write shall be in thy hand before their eyes.

and a border before the little chambers, one cubit [on this side], and a border, one cubit on that side, and the little chambers, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

And the windows of it, and the arches of it, and the palm trees of it, were according to the measure of the gate whose view is toward the east. And they went up to it by seven steps, and the arches of it were before them.

And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches of it were before them. And it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts of it.

And he measured the court, a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare. And the altar was before the house.

And he measured the length of it, twenty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple. And he said to me, This is the most holy place.

And the building that was before the separate place at the side toward the west was seventy cubits broad, and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length of it ninety cubits.

And he measured the length of the building before the separate place which was at the back of it, and the galleries of it on the one side and on the other side, a hundred cubits, and the inner temple, and the porches of the court,

The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and the length of it two cubits, and the corners of it, and the length of it, and the walls of it, were of wood. And he said to me, This is the table that is before LORD.

And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits' breadth inward, a way of one cubit, and their doors were toward the north.

And the wall that was outside by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court before the chambers, the length of it was fifty cubits.

In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers.

And the way before them was like the appearance of [the way of] the chambers which were toward the north. According to their length so was their breadth. And all their exits were both according to their fashions, and according to t

And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as entering into them.

Then he said to me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they are the holy chambers, where the priests that are near to LORD shall eat the most holy things. There they shall lay the most h

And thou shall bring them near before LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt-offering to LORD.

As for the ruler, he shall sit in it as ruler to eat bread before LORD. He shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.

Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house. And I looked, and, behold, the glory of LORD filled the house of LORD. And I fell upon my face.

Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house. They shall kill the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to ministe

Because they ministered to them before their idols, and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have lifted up my hand against them, says lord LORD, and they shall bear their iniquity.

But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept the charge of my sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister to me. And they shall stand before me to offer to me the fat an

And the people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate before LORD on the Sabbaths and on the new moons.

But when the people of the land shall come before LORD in the appointed feasts, he who enters by the way of the north gate to worship shall go forth by the way of the south gate, and he who enters by the way of the south gate shall
