And there came the hand of the LORD upon me, and he said unto me, "Stand up and go into the field, that I may there talk with thee."

So when I had risen up, and gone forth into the field: Behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, like as I saw it afore, by the waters of Chebar. Then fell I down upon my face,

For in thee the fathers shall be fain to eat their own sons, and the sons their own fathers. Such a court will I keep in thee, and the whole remnant will I scatter into all the winds.

Moreover, I will give it into the hands of the strangers to be spoiled: and to the wicked for to be robbed, and they shall destroy it.

My face will I turn from them, my treasury shall be defiled: for the thieves shall go into it, and suspend it.

This similitude stretched out a hand, and took me by the hairy locks of my head, and the spirit lift me up betwixt heaven and earth: And God brought me in a vision to Jerusalem, into the court of the inward port that lieth toward the north. There stood an image, with whom he that hath all things in his power was very wroth.

And so he brought me into the inward court of the LORD's house. And behold, at the port of the LORD's house, betwixt the fore entry and the altar, there were five and twenty men that turned their backs on the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east, and these worshiped the sun.

Yea and the sound of the Cherubims' wings was heard into the fore court, like as it had been the voice of the almighty God when he speaketh.

I will drive you out of this city and deliver you into your enemies' hand, and will condemn you.

But the wind took me up, and in a vision which came by the spirit of God it brought me again into Chaldea among the prisoners. Then the vision that I had seen vanished away from me.

Tell them I am your show-token: like as I have done, so shall it happen unto you. Flit shall ye also, and go into captivity.

If I bring noisome beasts into the land to waste it up, and it be so desolate that no man may go therein for beasts;

Or if I bring a sword into the land, and charge it to go through the land, so that I slay down man and beast in it,

If I send a pestilence into the land, and pour out my sore indignation upon it in blood, so that I root out of it both man and beast,

Behold, it is cast into the fire to be burnt; the fire consumeth both the ends of it, the midst is burnt to ashes. Is it mete then for any work? No.

And therefore thus sayeth the LORD God: Like as I cast the vine into the fire for to be burnt, as other trees of the wood: Even so will I do with them that dwell in Jerusalem,

Behold, I will stretch out mine hand over thee, and will diminish thy store of food, and deliver thee over into the wiles of the Philistines thine enemies, which are ashamed of thy abominable way.

I will give thee over into their power, that shall break down thy stews, and destroy thy brothel houses: they shall strip thee out of thy clothes, all thy fair and beautiful Jewels shall they take from thee, and so let thee sit naked and bare.

and brake off the top of his twig, and carried it into the land of Canaan, and set it in a city of merchants.

But he fell from him, and sent his Ambassadors into Egypt that he might have horses and much people. Should that prosper? Should he be kept safe, that doth such things? Or should he escape, that breaketh his covenant?

even in the day that I lift up mine hand over them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt, into a land that I have provided for them, which floweth with milk and honey, and it is a pleasant land among all others:

"'Now when I had carried them out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness,

But I swore unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land, which I gave them: a land that floweth with milk and honey, and is a pleasure of all lands.

For after I had brought them into the land that I promised to give them, when they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees: they made there offerings, and provoked me with their oblations, making sweet savours there, and poured out their drink offerings.

and will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there I will reason with you face to face.

And that ye may know, that I am the LORD, which have brought you into the land of Israel. Yea, into the same land that I swore to give unto your forefathers.

He hath put his sword to the dighting, that good hold may be taken of it. This sword is sharpened and dight, that it may be given into the hand of the manslayer.'

Therefore, thus sayeth the LORD God: Forsomuch as ye all are turned into dross, behold: I will bring you together unto Jerusalem,

Wherefore, I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, even the Assyrians, whom she so loved.

immediately, as soon as she saw them, she burnt in love upon them, and sent messengers for them into the land of the Chaldeans.

For thus sayeth the LORD: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hands of them whom thou hatest: yea, even into the hands of them with whom thou hast fulfilled thy lust.

For when they had slain their children for their idols, they came the same day into my Sanctuary to defile it. Lo, this have they done in my house.

And they went into her, as unto a common harlot: Even so went they also to Oholah and Oholibah those filthy women.

Show that obstinate household a parable, and speak unto them, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God: Get thee a pot, set it on, and pour water into it:

The dust of his horses shall cover thee, they shall be so many: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, chariots and wheels when he cometh to thy ports, as men do into an open city.

Then will I cast thee down unto them, that descend into the pit, unto a people that hath been long dead, and set thee in a land that is beneath, like the old wilderness, with them which go down to their graves, so that no man shall dwell more in thee. And I will make thee to be no more in honor, in the land of the living.

"'Thy mariners were ever bringing unto thee out of many waters. But the east wind shall overbear thee into the midst of the sea:

and will bring the prisoners of Egypt again into the land of Pathros their own native country, that they may be there a lowly small kingdom:

I will dry up their floods of water, and sell the land into the hands of wicked people. The land and all that is therein, will I destroy through the enemies. Even I the LORD have said it.

And thus sayeth the LORD God: I will destroy the Idols, and bring the images of Noph to an end. There shall no more be a prince of Egypt, and a fearfulness will I send into the Egyptians' land.

At Tehaphnehes the day shall be dark, when I break there the scepter of the land of Egypt, and when the pomp of her power shall have an end. A cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall be led away into captivity.

Behold, Assyria was like a Cedar tree upon the mount of Lebanon, with fair branches: so thick, that he gave shadows, and shot out very high. His top reached into the clouds.

"'Therefore, thus sayeth the LORD God: Forsomuch as he hath lift up himself so high, and stretched his top into the clouds, and seeing his heart is proud in his highness:

I will deliver him into the hands of the mightiest among the Heathen, which shall root him out. According to his wickedness will I cast him away.

I will make the Heathen shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell, with them that descend into the pit. All the trees of Eden, with all the chosen and best trees of Lebanon, yea, and all they that are planted upon the waters, shall mourn with him also in the lower habitations:

Thus sayeth the LORD God: I will spread my net over thee, namely, a great multitude of people: these shall drive thee into my yarn,

There is Elam also with all his people, and their graves round about: which all being wounded and slain with the sword, are gone down uncircumcised under the earth. Which, nevertheless, sometime brought fear into the land of the living: for the which they bear their shame, with the others that be gone down to the grave.

I will bring them out from all people, and gather them together out of all lands, I will bring them into their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel, by the rivers, and in all the places of the country.

prophesy therefore, and speak: thus sayeth the LORD God: Seeing ye be wasted and trod down on every side, and become a possession unto the residue of the Gentiles, which have brought you into men's mouths and unto an evil name among the people:

Thus sayeth the LORD God unto these bones: Behold, I will put breath into you, that ye may live.

So I prophesied, as he had commanded me: then came the breath into them and they received life, and stood up upon their feet: a marvelous great sortie.

Therefore prophesy thou, and speak unto them, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God: Behold, I will open your graves, O my people, and take you out of your sepulchers, and bring you into the land of Israel again.

and shalt say unto them, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God: Behold, I will take away the children of Israel from among the Heathen, unto whom they be gone, and will gather them together on every side, and bring them again into their own land.

After many days thou shalt be visited, and in the latter years thou shalt come into the land, that hath been destroyed with the sword, and now is replenished again with divers people upon the mountains of Israel, which have long lain waste. Yea, they be brought out of the nations, and dwell all safe.

Moreover, thus sayeth the LORD God: At the same time shall many things come into thy mind, so that thou shalt imagine mischief,

Yea, thou shalt come upon my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land. This shall come to pass in the latter days: I will bring thee up into my land, that the Heathen may know me, when I get me honour upon thee; O Gog, before their eyes.

At the same time, when Gog cometh up into the land of Israel, sayeth the LORD God, shall my indignation go forth in my wrath.

Into Magog, and among those that sit so carelessly in the isles, will I send a fire, and they shall know, that I am the LORD.

"And the Heathen shall know, that whereas the house of Israel were led into captivity: it was for their wickedness' sake, because they offended me. For the which cause I hid my face from them, and delivered them into the hands of their enemies, that they might all be slain with the sword.

even into the land of Israel brought he me in the visions of God: and set me down upon a marvelous high mountain, whereupon there was a building, as it had been of a city, toward the north.

Then brought he me into the fore court, whereas were chambers and paved works, made in the fore court round about: Thirty chambers upon one paved work.

So he brought me into the innermore court, through the door of the south side: which he measured, and it had the measure afore said.

He brought me also into the inmost court upon the east side, and measured the door, according to the measure afore said.

Then carried he me out into the fore court toward the north, and brought me into the chamber that stood over against the back building northward, which had the length of a hundred cubits whose door turned toward the north.

These chambers had under them an entrance of the east side, where by a man might go into them out of the fore court,
