But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? And they turned and said, Like as LORD of hosts thought to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our doings,

Then I said, O my lord, what are these? And the [heavenly] agent who talked with me said to me, I will show thee what these are.

And the man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom LORD has sent to walk to and fro through the earth.

And they answered the agent of LORD who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sits still, and is at rest.

Then the agent of LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long will thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou have had indignation these seventy years?

So the [heavenly] agent who talked with me said to me, Cry thou, saying, Thus says LORD of hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

And I said to the [heavenly] agent who talked with me, What are these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.

Then I said, What are these coming to do? And he spoke, saying, These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head. But these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted

Then I said, Where do thou go? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem. To see what is the breadth of it, and what is the length of it.

and said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and cattle therein.

And LORD said to Satan, LORD rebuke thee, O Satan. Yea, LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee. Is this not a brand plucked out of the fire?

And he answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, Take the filthy garments from off him. And to him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with rich apparel.

And I said, Let them set a clean miter upon his head. So they set a clean miter upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the agent of LORD was standing by.

And he said to me, What do thou see? And I said, I have seen, and, behold, a candlestick all of gold, with its bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps on it. There are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are upon the top o

Then the [heavenly] agent who talked with me answered and said to me, Do thou not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

Then I answered, and said to him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side of it?

And I answered the second time, and said to him, What are these two olive-branches, which are beside the two golden spouts that empty the golden [oil] out of themselves?

And he answered me and said, Do thou not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

Then he said, These are the two anointed ones, who stand by LORD of the whole earth.

And he said to me, What do thou see? And I answered, I see a flying roll. The length of it is twenty cubits, and the breadth of it ten cubits.

Then he said to me, This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole land. For everyone who steals shall be cut off on the one side according to it, and everyone who swears shall be cut off on the other side according t

Then the [heavenly] agent who talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what this is that goes forth.

And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goes forth. He said moreover, This is their appearance in all the land

And he said, This is Wickedness. And he cast her down into the midst of the ephah, and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth of it.

Then I said to the [heavenly] agent who talked with me, Where do these carry the ephah?

And he said to me, To build her a house in the land of Shinar. And when it is prepared, she shall be set there in her own place.

Then I answered and said to the [heavenly] agent who talked with me, What are these, my lord?

And the [heavenly] agent answered and said to me, These are the four winds of heaven, which go forth from standing before LORD of all the earth.

And the strong ones went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth. And he said, Get you from here. Walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.

And it has come to pass that, as he cried, and they would not hear, so they shall cry, and I will not hear, said LORD of hosts.

Thus said LORD my God: Feed the flock of slaughter,

Then I said, I will not feed you. That which dies, let it die, and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off, and let those who are left eat each one the flesh of another.

And I said to them, If ye think good, give me my wage, and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my wage thirty [pieces] of silver.

And LORD said to me, Cast it to the potter, the good price that I was valued by them. And I took the thirty [pieces] of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of LORD.

And LORD said to me, Take to thee yet again the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
