And I will give you a new heart, And a new spirit, will I put within you,-And I will take away the heart of stone, of your flesh, And will give you a heart of flesh;

Lo! as for all persons, mine they are, As the person of the father, so also the person of the son, mine they are, - The person that sinneth, the same shall die.

The hand of Yahweh I being upon me, he carried me forth in the spirit of Yahweh, and set me down in the midst of a plain, - and the same was full of bones;

The person that sinneth, the same, shall die, - the son shall not bear a part of the iniquity of, the father, neither shall a father bear a part of the iniquity of the son, the righteousness of the righteous upon himself, shall be. And the lawlessness of a lawless man upon himself, shall be.

Lo! this became the iniquity of Sodom thy sister, - Pride, fulness of bread, and careless security came to her and to her daughters, And the hand of the oppressed and the needy, she strengthened not.

Son of man Take thou up a dirge over the king of Tyre, - And thou shalt say to him Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, Thou wast of finished proportions, Full of wisdom and Perfect in beauty:

And I will execute upon them great vengeance, with rebukes of indignation: shall they know that I am Yahweh, when I put forth mine avenging against them.

Say unto them, As I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely, I can take no pleasure in the death of the lawless man, But that the lawless man turn from his way, and live,- Turn ye, turn ye, from your wicked ways, For wherefore should ye die. O house of Israel?

and out of the midst thereof, as burnished copper to look upon out of the midst of the fire; and out of the midst thereof, a likeness of four living ones, and this was their appearance, the likeness of a man, had they;

Will ye then say. Why hath not the son borne a part of the iniquity of the father? But the son hath done justice and righteousness, All my statutes, hath observed and done them He shall surely live.

and the hands of a man! were under their wings, on their four sides, - and their faces and their wings belonged to the four of them:

But thou didst take thine adorning jewels Of my gold and of my silver which I had given thee, And didst make thee images of the male, - c And didst act unchastely with them;

and four faces each, and four wings each, had they;

joined to each other, were their wings, - they turned not when they went, each one straight before him, did they go;

and their feet were straight feet, - and the sole of their feet was like the sole of the foot of a calf, but sparkling, as shining bronze to look upon;

and their wings were spread above, - two of each joined one another, and two covered their bodies;

and the likeness of their faces was the face of a man, with the face of a lion to the right of the four of them, and the face of an ox on the left, of the four of them, - the face of an eagle, also had they four;

Then said he unto me, - Son of man Go get thee unto the house of Israel, and thou shalt speak with my words, unto them.

And when the living ones went, the wheels went beside them, - and when the living ones were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up:

whithersoever the spirit was minded to go, they went - thither was the spirit minded to go, - and the wheels would be lifted up along with them, for the spirit of the living one was in the wheels:

And I looked at the living ones, - and lo! one wheel upon the earth beside the living ones for each of his four faces,

As for the likeness of the living ones, their appearance was like live coals of fire burning up like the appearance of torches, the same went to and fro between the living ones, - and the fire had brightness and out of the fire, went forth a lightning.

and each one straight before him, did they go, - whithersoever the spirit was minded to go, they went, they turned not when they went.

Notwithstanding. the children rebelled against me. In my statutes, walked they not. And my regulations, observed they not. to do them. Wherein the man who shall do them shall live, My sabbaths, they profaned. Therefore spake I of pouring out mine indignation upon them to bring mine anger to an end against them. in the desert.

And I heard the sound of their wings, as the sound of many waters, as the sound of the Almighty, when they went, the sound of a storm as the sound of a host, - when they stood, they let down their wings,

And the living ones ran and returned, - like the appearance of a flash of lightning.

Upon their four sides, when they went, so did they go, - they turned not when they went.

when they went, these went, and when they stood, there stood, - ad when they were lifted up from off the earth, the wheels were lifted up along with them, for the spirit of the living one was in the wheels.

as the appearance of the bow which is in a cloud on a day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about, that was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh, and when I saw, I fell upon my face, and heard a voice of one speaking.

I therefore have appointed thee the years of their punishment, by the number of days a hundred and ninety days, - so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

And there was a voice above the expanse that was over their head, - when they stood, they let down their wings.

The appearance of the wheels and of their structure was like a Tarshish-stone to look upon, and they four had one likeness, - and their appearance and their structure were just as would be a wheel in the midst of a wheel.

As for their rings, they were so high that they were terrible, -and their rings full of eyes round about, had they four.

And there was a likeness over the heads of the living one - an expanse, like terrible crystal to look upon, -stretched forth over their heads above.

And thou didst take thine embroidered raiment, and cover them,- And mine and mine incense, didst thou set before them;

And he said unto me- Son of man I am sending thee unto the sons of Israel, unto rebellious nations, which have rebelled against me, - they, and their fathers have transgressed against me, until this very day;

Therefore as for even me, Mine eye shall not shield. Neither will I pity, - Their way upon their own head, have I rendered.

But she hath changed my regulations rote lawlessness, more than the nations, And my statutes more than the countries which are round bout her, For my regulations, have they rejected, And in my statutes, have they not walked. Therefore,

And above the expanse that was over their heads, as the appearance of a sapphire stone, was the likeness of a throne, - and upon the likeness of a throne, was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above.

So hat ye now that I am Yahweh, In whose statutes, ye have not walked And whose appointments, ye have not executed, - But according to the appointments of the nations that are round about you, have ye done.

And under the expanse, their wings were straight, one towards another, - each one had two covering on this side, and each one had two covering on that side, their bodies.

And I will pull down the wall which ye have coated with whitewash And will bring it unto the ground So shall be discovered its foundation, Yea it shall fall And ye shall come to an end in the midst thereof, So shall ye know that am Yahweh.

And lo! the man clothed in linen, having the ink-holder by his side, bringing back word saying, - I have done according to all which thou didst command me.

Then said he unto me, - Go in, and see the wicked abominations. which they are committing here.

Now shortly, will I pour out mine indignation upon thee, And will bring to an end mine anger against thee, And will judge thee according to thy ways,- And will lay upon thee all thine abominations.

Seeing he hath despised an oath. by breaking a covenant - yea lo! hath given his hand and all these things hath done he shall not escape.

Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, Even yet - for this, will I be prevailed upon by the house of Israel to work for them, - I will multiply them-Like a flock - with men:Like a flock of holy offerings.

For not unto a people deep of lip and heavy of tongue, art thou sent - but unto the house of Israel:

If a mischievous wild beast, I suffer to pass through the land, and that beast bereave it, so that it become too desolate for any man to pass through, by reason of the wild beast,

Howbeit I withdrew my hand, and wrought with effect for the sake of mine own Name, - that it should not be profaned before the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had brought them forth:

Then will I spread my net ever him, and he shall be taken in my snare; And I will take him to Babylon. in the land of the Chaldeans, The which, indeed, he shall not see. And yet there, shall he die!

And I saw as burnished copper to look upon, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upwards and from the appearance of his loins and downward, saw I as the appearance of fire, and he had brightness round about:

So I went in. and looked, and lo! every similitude of creeping thing, and detestable beast, and all the manufactured gods of the house of Israel,- pourtrayed upon the wall round about on every side;

Thus will I bring to an end mine indignation against the wall, and against them who were coating it with whitewash, And will say to you No more is the wall, And no more are they who were coating it:

When they went, upon their four sides, they went, they turned not when they went, for to the place whithersoever the heads turned, after it, they went, they turned not when they went.

Son of man, say to her. Thou, art a land, that is not to be rained upon, nor to receive fruitful showers, in the day of indignation.

At the sound of the outcry of thy pots, the coasts shall quake:

Thou, therefore Son of man, Shall it not be - In the day when I take away from them Their strength, The joy of their adorning, - The delight of their eyes And the desire of their soul, Their sons and their daughters

But as for the lawless man - When he shall turn back from all his sins which he hath committed, And observe all my statutes, And do justice and righteousness He shall surely live. He shall note die:

Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh. Because ye have become more rebellious than the nations who are round about you, In My statutes, have not walked. And my regulations, have not done, And according to the regulations of the nations which are round about you, have not done:

And it came to pass as I prophesied, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah died, - so then I fell down upon my face and made outcry with a loud voice and said - Alas! My Lord Yahweh! A full end, art thou making of the remnant of Israel?

Thus then unto the siege of Jerusalem, shalt thou direct thy face, with thine arm made bare, - so shalt thou prophesy against it.

And the slain shall fall in your midst, So shall ye nod that I a Yahweh.

And lo! I have laid upon thee-bands, - and thou shalt not turn thee from thy one side to thine other, until thou have ended the days of thy siege.

And they shall come upon thee - With battle-axe, chariot and wheel And with a gathered host of peoples, :Shield and buckler and helmet, will they array against thee on every side,- And I will put before them judgment, And they shall judge thee with their judgments;

and it is unto such sons - of shameless face, and emboldened heart, that I am sending thee, - therefore shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh.

On his right hand, hath come the divination - Jerusalem! To plant battering-rams. To open a hole by breach To lift up the voice with a war-shout, - To plant battering-rams against the gates, To cast up an earth-work To bud a siege-wall.

And mine eye shall not shield thee Neither will I have pity, - According to thy ways, tunic thee will I render, And thine abominations, in thy midst shall be found, So shall ye know that I, Yahweh am smiting.

Therefore, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh As I live, Surely it is mine oath which he hath despised, and my covenant which he hath broken, Therefore will I bring it upon his own head:

and seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel with Jaazaniah son of Shaphan, who stood in their midst were standing before them, even every man with his censer in his hand, - and the fragrance of the cloud of incense ascending. le

But the house of Israel will not be willing to hearken unto thee, for they are not willing to hearken unto me, - for all the house of Israel are bold of forehead and hard of heart.

liner unto many peoples deep of lip and heavy of tongue, whose words thou couldst not understand, - surely if unto them I had sent thee, they would have hearkened unto thee.

And they! whether they will hear or whether they will forbear, for a perverse house, they are, shall then know that la prophet hath been in their midst.

And all flesh shall see that I. Yahweh have kindled it,- It shall not be quenched.

Yea thou didst slay my children, - And didst deliver them up. that they should be caused to pass through the fire unto them.

And all who are round about him to hell him. and all his tops, will scatter to every wind, - and a sword, will I make bare after them.

Could I take delight, in the death of the lawless? Demandeth My Lord. Yahweh. Must it not be in his turning from his ways in which case he shall live?

But thou son of man Be not afraid of them Nor of their words, be afraid Though thorns and thistles are about thee, And amongst prickly plants, thou dost dwell, Of their words, be not afraid nor At their faces, be thou dismayed, For a perverse house, they are!

to wit the prophets of Israel who are prophesying unto Jerusalem, and are seeing, on her behalf, visions of prosperity, - when there is no prosperity, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

Lo! the day, Lo! it hath come, The circle hath gone forth, The sceptre I hath blossomed Insolence hath sprouted:

Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Lo! I am against thee, even I, Therefore will I, execute in thy midst, judgments, in the eyes of the nations;

Therefore, say, Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, Although I have removed them far away among the nations, And although I have dispersed them throughout the lands Yet have I become to them a sanctuary for a little while, in the lands which they have entered

And all their flesh, and their back, and their hands and their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes round about, even their wheels which they four had

And when he brought me unto the porch of the house, then measured he the projection of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side, - and the breadth of the gate, was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side:

Were these three men in the midst thereof, As I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely neither sons nor daughters, should they deliver, They alone should be delivered, But the land, should become a desolation.

And my food which I had given thee, Fine flour and ell and honey wherewith I fed thee, And didst set it before them for a satisfying odour Yea so it was, - Saith My Lord Yahweh.

Yet will I leave a remnant: In that ye shall have such as are escaped of the sword throughout the nations, when ye are scattered throughout the lands.

Lo! I have made thy face bold like as their faces, and thy forehead bold like as their forehead.

That in that day, one that hath escaped shall come in unto thee, - to cause thee to hear it with thine own ears?

And thou, Son of man Set thy face against the daughters of thy people, Those who are prophesying out of their own heart, - And prophesy thou against them;

And I will spread over him my net, And he shall be taken in my snare, And I will bring him into Babylon and will enter into judgment with him there, as to his treachery wherewith he hath been treacherous against me;

To the wheels - to them, was made the cry - O whirling wheel! in mine ears.

As an adamant harder than flint, have I made thy forehead, - thou shalt not fear them neither shalt thou be dismayed at their faces, For a perverse house, they are!

Son of man Thine own brethren, thine own brethren the men of thy kindred, even all the house of Israel all of it are they to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far away from Yahweh, To us, it is that the land, hath been given, for a possession!

None of his transgressions which he hath committed shall be remembered against him, - In his righteousness which he hath done, he shall live.

and say, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Alas! for the women Who sew oracle, cases on all elbows And prepare wraps upon the head of every stature to hunt souls, - the souls ye hunt, are those of my people, Whereas your own souls:, ye keep alive.

And in all thine abominations, and thine unchaste ways, thou rememberedst not the days of thy youth, How thou wast utterly naked. When thou wast thrusting about thee in thy blood!

And thou didst take thy sons and thy daughters, Whom thou hadst borne unto me, And didst sacrifice them unto them to be devoured,- Is this of thine unchastity. a light thing?

So shall they know that, I, am Yahweh By my dispersing them among the nations, And scattering them throughout the lands.

Therefore say, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Therefore will I assemble you from among the peoples, And gather you out of the lands wherein ye have been dispersed,- And will give you the soil of Israel.

And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, Woe! Woe! to thee, Exclaimeth My Lord Yahweh;

Thou shalt therefore speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear For perverse, they are!

So he brought me into the opening of the gate of the house of Yahweh, which was toward the north, - and Lo! there, women sitting, weeping for Tammuz.

Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Therefore will I, Myself, take of the highest branch of the lofty cedar and set it, - Of the crown of its young twigs, a tender one, will I pluck off, and I. myself will plant it upon a mountain high and terraced,

Violence hath risen up as a sceptre of lawlessness, - There are none of them And none of their multitude And none of their throngs And no lamentation over them.

Then shall come down from their ships all that handle the oar, mariners, all the sailors of the sea - Upon the land, shall they take up their station;

Even, I, lifted up my hand to them in the desert, - That I would disperse them throughout the nations, And scatter them throughout the lands;

Then said he unto me, - Son of man. All my words which I shall speak unto thee, receive thou into thy heart and in thine ears, hear thou:

Yea I will execute upon thee that which I have not executed, And like unto which I will not execute again,- Because of all thine abominations.

then go get thee unto them of the captivity, unto the cons of thy people, and thou shalt speak unto them and say unto them, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear.

Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen Son of man what the elders of the house of Israel, are doing in the dark, every man in his image-chambers? for they are saying - Yahweh doth not see us! Yahweh hath forsaken the land!

When I say to the lawless man - Thou shalt surely die, and thou hast not given him warning, neither hast spoken to warn the lawless man from his lawless way, to save him- self alive the same lawless man in his iniquity shall die, but his blood, tat thy hand will I require.

Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the sound of a great rushing, - Blessed be the glory of Yahweh. From his place!

and he spread it out before me, and, it was written on the front and the back, - and there were written thereon, lamentation and sighing, and wailing.

Yet will I leave remaining of them, men easy counted, from the sword from a the famine and from the pestilence, - that they may recount all their abominations among the nations whither they have come, So shall they know that, I, am Yahweh.

Thou, therefore son of man, hear what I am speaking unto thee., become not perverse like the perverse house, - open thy mouth, and eat that which I am giving unto thee.

Her priests have done violence to my law And have profaned my holy things, Between the hallowed and the common, have they put no difference, And between the unclean and clean, have they not taught men to discern,- And from my sabbaths, have they hid their eyes, So that I have been profaned in their midst.

Therefore, fathers will eat sons in thy midst, And sons will eat fathers, - And I will execute upon thee judgments, And will scatter the whole remnant of thee, to every wind.

And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of Yahweh came unto me saying

That thou didst build thee a brothel, - and didst make thee a height in every broadway:

And four faces had each one, - the first face, was the face of a cherub, and, the second face, was the face of a man and the third was the face of a lion. and the fourth, was the face of an eagle.

Then said he unto me, - Yet again, shalt thou see great abominations, which they are committing.

The time hath come. The day hath arrived, The buyer, let him not rejoice, and The seller, let him not mourn, - For indignation, is against all her multitude.

Yea I let them defile themselves with their gifts, when they caused every firstborn to pass through the fire,-.that I might make them desolate. To the end they might know that, I, am Yahweh.

But when a lawless man turneth away from his lawlessness which he hath done, And hath done justice and righteousness He, shall save his own soul, alive:

And he said unto me, - Son of man, Stand upon thy feet, that I may, speak with thee.

And the four tables for the ascending-offering: were of hewn stone. in length, one cubit and a half, and in breadth, one cubit and a half, and in height, one cubit, - that thereon, they may lay the instruments wherewith they shall slay the ascending-offering and the sacrifice.

Were Noah, Daniel and Job n the midst thereof, As I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely neither son nor daughter, should they deliver, They, by their righteousness should deliver only their own lives.

Then shall they who have escaped of you remember me, among the nations whither they have been carried captive, In that I have broken their adulterous heart, which hath turned aside from me, And their eyes which have adulterously gone after their manufactured gods, So shall they become loathsome in their own sight, for the wicked things which they have done in all their abominations.

So shall all the trees of the field know that I Yahweh Have laid low the high tree Have exalted the low tree, Have dried up the moist tree, And have caused to flourish the tree, that was dry, - I, Yahweh, have spoken, and performed.

So I looked, and lo! a hand put forth unto me, - and lo! therein a scroll;

So shall they come in thither, - and take away all her detestable things, and all her abominations, out of her;

How weak was thy heart! Exclaimeth My Lord Yahweh, - That thou couldst have done all these things, The doing of a lewd woman without shame:

Then said he unto me, Son of man What thou findest, eat, - -eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.

So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away, - and I went bitterly, in the rage of my spirit, but the hand of Yahweh upon me was strong.

At the head of every road, didst thou bud thy height, And bring thy beauty into disgust, And open thy feet to every passer-by, So didst thou make thine unchaste ways to abound.

Then came there unto me men, of the elders of Israel, - and sat before me -

Therefore as live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, - Surely because my sanctuary, thou hast defiled, with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations Even I also, will cut off, and mine eye I shall not spare, Yea even I will not pity.

When the cherubim went, then went the wheels beside them, - and when the cherubim lifted up their wings, to arise from off the earth, the wheels themselves turned not from beside them;

Then arose the cherubim, - the same, was the living one, which I had seen by the river Chebar.

But as for them who having a heart for their detestable things and for their abominations after their own heart, do walk, Their way upon their own heads, will I render, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

Then looked I. and lo! in the expanses which was over the head of the cherubim as a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne, appeared over them.

Can ye then say - The way of My Lord will not be equal? Hear I pray you O house of Israel, Will my way, not be equal? Will not your ways be unequal?

And, the spirit lifted me up, and brought me to Chaldea unto them of the captivity, in the vision by the Spirit of God, - thus went up from me, the vision which I had seen.

And there were hooks of three hand-breadth fastened within round about on every side, - and upon the tables, the flesh of the offering.

To the end that in my statutes, they may walk, And mine appointments, they may keep, and do them, - So shall they become my people, And l will become their God.

Though it will become to them a veritably false divination in their eyes, even when hound by oaths to theme Yet he calling to mind iniquity, will determine that it shall he captured.

The same, was the living one which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar,- then knew I that cherubim, they were.

Then shalt thou say unto the people of the land Thus saith the Lord Yahweh concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, upon the so of Israel, Their bread, with anxious care, shall they eat, And their water in astonishment, shall they drink, - That there land may be deserted of her fulness because of the violence of all them who dwell therein:

And when a righteous man hath turned from his righteousness, and committed perversity, and I have suffered a stumbling- block to be laid before him he shall die, - though thou hast not warned him, in his sin I shall he die, neither shall be remembered his righteous deeds which he hath done, but his blood, at thy hand will I require;

Yea the sound of the wings of the living ones, gently touching each other, and the sound of the wheels, along with them, even the sound of a great rushing.

Thus came I unto them of the captivity, at Tel-abib. who were dwelling towards he river Chebar and I dwelt where They were dwelling; yea I dwelt there seven days, stunned in their midst,

To all harlots, they give a present, But thou, didst give thy presents to all thy lovers, And didst bribe them to come in unto thee from every side in thine unchastity!

Thou therefore O son of man Take thee a tablet, and lay it before thee, - and pourtray thereon a city, even Jerusalem.

And shall take up for thee in their Wailing: a dirge, And shall chant over thee,- Who is like Tyre? Like the Sent One in the midst of the sea?

When I brought them into the land as to which I had lifted up mine hand to give it them, then beheld they every high hill and every tangled tree And offered there their sacrifices, And presented there, their provoking gift, And placed there, their satisfying odour, And poured out there, their drink- offerings.

And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the east gate of the house of Yahweh which looketh eastward, and lo! in the opening of the gate, twenty-five men, - and I saw in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah princes of the people.

and as a barley cake, shalt thou eat it, - and the same with dung proceeding from man, shalt thou bake, before their eyes.

Whereas when thou hast warned a lawless man, and he hath not turned from his lawlessness and from his lawless way he in his iniquity shall die, but Thou hast delivered thine own soul.

So he brought me into the inner court of the house of Yahweh, and lo! at the opening of the temple of Yahweh, between the porch and the altar, about twenty-five men, - their backs towards the temple of Yahweh and their faces eastward, and they were bowing down eastward unto the Sun.

when they stood, these stood, and when they arose, these arose with them, - for the spirit of the living ones was in them.

and thy food which thou shalt eat shall be by weight twenty shekels a day, - from time to time, shalt thou eat it;

Then said he unto me Hast thou seen O son of man? Is it too small a thing for the house of Judah, to be committing the abominations which they have committed here, - that they have fled the land with violence and have again provoked me to anger and there they are! putting the branch to my nose.

So shall ye know that I, am Yahweh, In that their slain are in the midst of their manufactured gods, on every side of their altars, - Upon every high hl In all the tops of the mountains and Under every green tree and Under every tangled oak, The place where they offered a satisfying odour to all their manufactured gods.

By the going forth of thy commodities out of the seas, Thou didst satisfy many peoples, By the multitude of thy wares and of thy merchandise, Thou didst enrich the kings of the earth.

Thus went up the glory of Yahweh, out from the midst of the city, - and stood on the mountain, which is on the east of the city.

Son of man. In the midst of a perverse house, dost thou dwell, - Who have eyes to see - and have not seen. Ears have they to hear - and have no heard, For a perverse house, they are.

The third part of thee by pestilence, shall die, and by famine, be consumed in thy midst And the third part by the sword, shall fall round about thee,- And the third part to every wind, will I scatter, and a sword, will I make bare after them.

Son of man What is this proverb ye have, concerning the so of Israel, saying, - The days, are prolonged, Therefore shall every vision come to nought?

Son of man, Thy bread, with trembling, shalt thou eat, - And thy water, in agitation and in fear, shalt thou drink.

So will I send upon you famine and mischievous beast and they shall bereave thee, - and pestilence and blood, shall pass through thee, - and a sword, will I bring in upon thee, Yahweh have spoken.

And I will bring you into the desert of the peoples, - and will contend with you there, I face to face.

Then the Spirit entered into me as soon as he spoke unto me, and it caused me to stand upon my feet, - and I heard one speaking unto me.

Then did the cherubim lift up their wings, the wheels also going in unison with them, - the glory of the God of Israel, being over them above.

They have blown the trumpet, even to make All ready, Yet is there none going to the battle; For mine indignation is against all her multitude.

and water by measure, shalt thou drink the sixth part of a hin,-from time to time shalt thou drink;

Therefore say unto them, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, I will cause this proverb to cease, And they shall use it as a proverb no more in Israel, - But speak unto them, The days late drawn near, And the substance of every vision.

Therefore say thou unto the house of Israel. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Is it in the way of your fathers, you are defiling yourselves,- And after their abominations, that ye are committing lewdness

For there shall no more be - Any vision of falsehood Or divination of deceit, In the midst of the house of Israel.

Then shall ye call to mind. there, your own ways and all your own doings, where- with ye had defiled yourselves,- And ye stroll become loathsome in your own sight, for all your wickednesses, which ye have done.

Then fell upon me the Spirit of Yahweh, and he said unto me Say - Thus, saith Yahweh, Thus have ye said O house of Israel, Yea the things that come up on your spirit, know every one.

Then said he unto me Hast thou seen O son of man? Yet again, shalt thou see greater abominations than these.

A wife who committeth adultery, instead of her husband accepteth strangers.

And I will cause you to pass under the rod And will bring you into the bond of the covenant;

So I arose and went forth into the valley, and lo! there the glory of Yahweh, standing, like the glory which I saw by the river Chebar,-and I fell upon my face.

Or, a sword, I should bring upon that land, and should say. O sword! thou shalt go through the land, and so I should cut off therefrom, man and beast,

Then came upon me there the hand of Yahweh, - and he said unto me, Arise go forth into the valley, and there, will I speak with thee.

And will tear off your wraps, And deliver my people out of your hand, And they shall be no longer in your hand to be hunted;- So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.

Like the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts So shall the waste cities be fled with flocks of men,- And they shall know that I, am Yahweh.

Then shall they know that, I, Yahweh, - not in vain, had threatened to bring upon them this calamity.

Yea the cities that are inhabited I shall be laid waste, And the land, shall become m astonish- men, - So shall ye know that, I am Yahweh.

And I will throw upon you clean water and ye shall he clean, - From all your uncleannesses and from all your manufactured gods, will I cleanse you;

For, I, Yahweh will speak whatsoever word I please to speak, And it shall be done, It shall not be delayed any more, - For in your own days, O perverse house, will I speak a word and perform it, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh.

Therefore have I poured out upon them mine indignation, In the fire of mine outburst, have I consumed them, - Their way, upon their own head, have I placed Declareth, My Lord Yahweh.

And it came to pass, in the sixth year in the sixth month, on the fifth of the month, I being seated in my house, and the elders of Judah being seated before me, then fell upon me there the hand of My Lord Yahweh.

Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, Smite with thy hand, and stamp with thy foot and say, Alas! regarding all the wicked abominations of the house of Israel, - in that by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, shall they fall:

For the seller, unto that which is to be sold, shall not return, though yet among the living, were their life, for the vision is against all her multitude. He shall not return, And line man by his punishment, shall strengthen his life.

Therefore even I, will act with indignation, Mine eye shall not shield. Neither will I pity, - Though they have cried in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

Because my regulations, had they not done And my statutes, they had rejected, My sabbaths also, they had profaned,- And after the manufactured gods of their fathers, were their eyes turned.

Thou, therefore lie thou on thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it, - during the number of the days which thou shalt lie thereon, shalt thou bear their punishment.

whereas when Thou hast warned a righteous man. That a righteous man must not sin and he hath not sinned, he shall surely live in that he took warning, and thou hast delivered thine own soul.

And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard, as far as the outer court, - like the voice of the Almighty GOD when he speaketh,

Then said he unto the man clothed in linen - then said he Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fl both thy hands with live coals of fire from between the cherubim, and throw over the city. So he went in before mine eyes.

So shall it become a reproach and an insult warning and an astonishment, tob the nations that are round about thee, - in that I have executed upon thee judgments in anger and in indignation and in rebukes of indignation, I, Yahweh have spoken:

Then said, I, Ah! My Lord. Yahweh, lo! my person, hath not been defiled: neither of what hath died of itself nor of what hath been torn in pieces: have I eaten, from my youthful days even unto now, neither hath come into my mouth the flesh of a foul thing.

Thou, therefore Son of man, Prepare thee baggage for exe, and exe thyself, by day, before their eyes, - so shalt thou exe thyself out of thy place unto another place before their eyes, peradventure they will consider - though a perverse house, they are.

So shall mine anger have an end, And I will cause mine indignation to find rest I upon a them, and will console myself,- And they shall know that, I, Yahweh, have spoken in my jealousy, when mine indignation hath come to an end, upon them.

Then said he unto me Son of man. Thy belly, cause thou to eat and thy bowels, fl thou with this roll which I am giving unto thee. So I did eat, and it became in my mouth, as honey for sweetness.

Then said Yahweh, In like manner, shall the sons of Israel eat their bread defiled, - among the nations whither I will drive them.

Because of the paining of the heart the righteous man with falsehood, whom, I, have not pained, - And strengthening the hands of the lawless man, that he should not turn from his wicked way. by letting him live

And when the glory of Yahweh went forth from off the threshold of the house, - and stood over the cherubim,

And as for the likeness of their faces, They were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves - every one straight before him, did they go.

Therefore say unto them. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, None of my words shall be delayed any more, - Whatsoever word I speak, then shall it be performed, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

This city shall not serve you for a caldron, Neither shall, ye, serve in the midst thereof for flesh, - Near the boundary of Israel, will I judge you,

But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, - He that is minded to hear, let him hear, And he that is minded to forbear, let him forbear! For a perverse house, they are!

then the cherubim uplifted their wings and arose from the earth before mine eyes as they went forth, the wheels also in unison with them, - and it stood at the opening of the gate of the house of Yahweh that was toward the east, with the glory of the God of Israel over them, above.

But when a righteous man I shall turn away I from his righteousness and do that which is perverse, Shall do according to all the abominations which the lawless man hath done Shall he live? None of his righteous acts which he hath done shall be remembered, In his treachery wherein he hath been treacherous, And in his sin wherein he hath sinned In them, shall he die.

Then put he forth the similitude of a hand, and took me by the forelock of my head, - and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heavens and brought me to Jerusalem in the visions of God into the opening of the inner gate that looketh toward the north, where was the seat of the Statue of Jealousy. that provoketh to jealousy;

Therefore - of falsehood:, shall ye have no vision, And a divination:, shall ye not divine any more, - So will I deliver my people out of your hand, And ye shall know that, I, am Yahweh.

So I spake unto them of the captivity, - all the words of Yahweh which he had shewed me.

Then looked I. and lo! four wheels by the cherubim - one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub, - and the appearance of the wheels was to look upon like a Tarshish stone;

Son of man. Lo! the house of Israel are saying, the vision which he seeth is for many days, Yea for times far away, hath hell prophesied.

So will I take you forth out of her midst, and will deliver you into the hand of foreigners, - and will execute upon you judgments.

And so there came about in thee, the reverse of women, in thine unchastity, In that they did not follow thee for purposes of lewdness, - And in that thou gavest a present when no present was given to thee So didst thou become the reverse.

Four faces severally, had each one, and four wings, had each one, - and the likeness of the hands of a man, was under their wings.

So I opened my mouth, - and he caused me to eat this roll.

In Eden the garden of God, thou wast. Of every precious stone, was thy covering-Sardius. topaz, and diamond, Chrysolite beryl, and jasper, Sapphire carbuncle and emerald,- And of gold, was the work of thy timbrels and thy flutes within thee, In the day thou wast created, were they prepared:

the traders among the peoples, have hissed over thee: A terror, hast thou become, And I art not, Unto times age-abiding.

That thou couldst have but thy brothel at the head of every road, And thy height, couldst have made in every broadway,- Yet becamest not as harlot to lay claim to a harlots hire.

By the sword, shah ye fall, Upon the boundary of Israel, will I judge you, - So shall, ye know that a Yahweh.

Then came the word of Yahweh. unto me saying,

Then will they bring up against thee a gathered host, And they will stone thee with stones,- And cut thee to pieces with their swords;

Yea, the Bearer, who is in their midst, Upon his shoulder, shall lift it. In thick darkness, shall he go forth, Through the wall, shall they break to hear forth through it, - His face, shall he cover, to the end that his own eye may not see the land.

Now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the house when the man went in, - and, the, cloud filled the inner court,

Then the Spirit entered into me, and caused me to stand upon my feet, - and he spake with me and said unto me, Go in shut thyself up, in the midst of thine own house,

Then arose the glory of Yahweh from off the cherub, unto the threshold of the house, - and the house was fled with the cloud, and the, court, was fled with the brightness of the glory of Yahweh.

Thou therefore son of man Take thee a sharp cuting instrument, a barbers razor, shalt thou take thee, and shalt cause it to pass upon thy head and upon thy chin, - and shalt take the balances for weighing, and shalt divide the hair.

who are saying, Not near! let us build houses, - It, is the caldron, and, we, are the flesh!

So then it came to pass - when he commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim, then went he in and stood beside the wheel.

Say unto them, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, - For the Bearer, is this burden, in Jerusalem, and for all the house of Israel such as are in their midst.

Their silver into the streets, shall they cast and Their gold for throwing away, shall serve, Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Yahweh, Their craving, shall they not satisfy, and Their belly, shall they not fill, For a stumbling-block, hath their iniquity become.

Then said he unto me, Son of man, These, are the men who are devising iniquity, and who are counselling wicked counsel in this city;

The sword without, and Pestilence and famine within, - He that is in the field by the sword, shall die, and He that is in the city famine or pestilence shall devour him;

And he said unto me, Son of man Behold me! breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, So shall they eat bread by weight and with anxious care, And water by measure, and in astonishment, shall they drink:

thy tongue also, will I cause to cleave unto the roof of thy mouth, so shalt thou be dumb and not be to them a reprover, - For a perverse house, they are!

And thou - O son of man, lo! they have put upon thee bands, and they will bind thee therewith,-.so that thou go not forth in their midst;

When I set forth my jealousy against thee, Then will they deal with thee in indignation, :Thy nose and thine ears, will they remove, And that which is left of thee, by the sword, shall fall, - They, will take away thy sons and thy daughters, And that which is left of thee, shall be devoured by the fire;

Because her princes in her midst are like a roaring lion rending prey, - Life, have they devoured Wealth and precious things, have they been wont to take, Her widows, have they multiplied in her midst.

Before their eyes, Upon the shoulder, shalt thou lift it. In thick darkness, take it forth, Thy face, shalt thou cover so that thou see not the land; For a sign, have I appointed thee to the house of Israel.

In that I have sent the malignant arrows of famine among them which were for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, - and famine, will I increase upon you, and will break for you the staff of bread.

He that is far off by pestilence, shall die and He that is near by the sword, shall fall, and He that is left and is besieged by the famine, shall die; Thus will I make an end of mine indignation against them.

that they may lack bread and water and be astonished one with another, and pine away in their punishment.

Say, I, am your sign: As I have done, so. shall it be done to them, Into exile - into captivity, shall they go.

Then came the word of Yahweh unto me in the morning, saying:

Ye have multiplied your slain in this city,- And have fled her streets with slain.

All hands shall be unnerved; and All knees shall be weak as water,

Thus will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land a greater waste and devastation than the desert toward Diblah throughout all their dwelling-places,- And they shall know that, I, am Yahweh.

Therefore Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Your Main. whom ye have laid in her midst, They are the flesh, and She is the caldron, - when ye are taken out of her midst.

While they who escape of them shall escape and become on the mountains as the doves of the valleys, all of them cooing, - -each one in his punishment.

Therefore, prophesy against them, - prophesy. Son of man.

And I will give them another heart, And a new spirit, will I put within you, - And will take away the heart of stone out of their e flesh, and give them a heart of flesh:

Therefore shalt thou take forth thy baggage as baggage for exe, by day before their eyes, - and thou thyself, shalt go forth in the evening, before their eyes, like them who go forth to exe.

That in that day, thy mouth shall be opened unto him that hath escaped, And thou shalt speak and not be dumb any longer? So shalt thou become to them a wonder, And they shall know that, I, am Yahweh.

While the beauty of his own ornament he had in majesty placed, Then the images, of their abominations. Their detestable things, Made they therein, - For this cause have I delivered it up to them for removal;

Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, This, is Jerusalem, In the midst of the nations, I placed her, - and of the countries round about her;

And I did so, just as I was commanded, My baggage, took I forth as baggage for exe by day, and in the evening, I brake forth by myself through the wall, by force: in the twilight, I took it forth - on to my shoulder, I lifted it, before their eyes.

Before their eyes, break thou forth by thyself through the wall, - and carry forth through it.

And the cherub put forth his hand from between the cherubim unto the fire that was between the cherubim, and took up thereof and gave into the hands of him who was clothed with linen, - who took it and went forth,

Then shalt thou lay siege against it And bud up against it a siege-wall And cast up against it, a mound, - And set against it camps, And place against it battering-rams, round about.

and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear ye the word of My Lord Yahweh, - Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh- To the mountains and to the hills to the hollows and to the valleys,- Behold me! I, am bringing upon you a sword, And I will destroy your high places;

For I cannot take delight in the death of him that dieth, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Make good your return then and, live!

Therefore shall they gird themselves with sackcloth, And shuddering shall cover them,-And in all faces, shall be paleness, And in all their heads, baldness.

Just as I contended with yore fathers in the desert of the land of Egypt, So will I contend with you, Declareth My Lord Yahweh;

A sword, have ye feared, - And a sword, will I bring in upon you, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

Son of man, Have not the house of Israel the perverse house, said unto thee, - What art thou doing?

And I will deliver thee up to desolation and reproach, among the nations that are round about thee, - in the eyes of every passer-by.

So then he said unto me, See I have granted thee cows dung for mans dung, - and thou shalt prepare thy bread thereupon.

Thou, therefore take time a pan of iron, and set it for a wall of iron, between thee and the city, - then shalt thou direct thy face against it and it shall come into siege and thou shalt lay siege to it, a sign, shall it be to the house of Israel.

Now the cherubim appeared to have. the likeness of the hand of a man, under their wings.

So I looked, and lo! a likeness as the appearance of a man, from the appearance of his loins and downward fire, and from his loins and upwards as an appearance of shining, as the look of amber,

I myself, indeed, suffered them to walk in statutes which were not good, - And regulations in which they could not live.

Then cried he in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Draw near ye that have charge of the city,-even every man with his weapon of destruction in his hand.

A third part in the fire, shalt thou burn in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled, - and thou shalt take a third part, thou shalt smite it with the cuting instrument round about it, and a third part, shalt thou scatter to the wind, and sword, will I, make bare after then;

Thou therefore O son of man. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, To the so of Israel, there is an end,- The end hath come upon the four skirts of the land.

Yea I will deliver it Into the hand of foreigners for a prey, And to the lawless ones of the earth for a spoil, And they will profane it;

Then said he unto me, Son of man Lift up. I pray thee thine eyes, the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and 1o! on the north by the gate of the altar, this Statue of Jealousy, in the entrance.

Prepare thou a chain, For the land is full of the crime of bloodshed, And the city is full of violence.

and lo! there, the glory of the God of Israel, like the appearance which I had seen in the valley.

Four tables on this side and four tables on that side by the side of the gate,-eight tables whereupon they shall slay.

And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:

and as for their appearance, one likeness had they our,-as might be a wheel in the midst of a wheel.

So he brought me into the opening of the court, - and I looked, and lo! a single hole in the wall.

Then said he unto me, Son of man Canst thou see what they are doing, - the great abominations which the house of Israel are committing here, that I should go faraway from my sanctuary? Howbeit yet again, shalt thou see great abominations.

And I will turn away my face from them, And they will profane my cherished place, - Yea there will enter it violent men Who will profane it. -

Cast off from you all your transgressions which ye have committed against me, And make you a new heart; And a new spirit,- For why should ye die, O house of Israel?

the king, shall mourn and the chief shall clothe himself with astonishment, and the hands of the people of the land shall be wrung in anguish, - After their own way, will I deal with them and :With their own sentences, will I sentence them, And they shall know that all Yahweh.

So then I will bring in the wicked ones of the nations, And they shall take possession of their houses, - And I will cause to cease the pomp of the strong ones, And their holy places shall be profaned.

Therefore Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, Because ye have brought to mind your iniquity, by revealing your transgressions causing your sins to appear in all your doings,- Because ye have brought yourselves to mind By force shall ye be captured.

Then he brought me back unto the entrance of the house, and lo! waters coming forth from under the threshold of the house eastward, because the front of the house, was to the east, - and the waters, were coming down from beneath, from the right side of the house, on the south of the altar.

The circle hath come round unto thee. O inhabitant of the land,- The time hath come L The day of consternation hath drawn near. And not the joyful shout of the mountain.

And mine eye shall not shield thee. Neither will I pity, - . For thy ways - upon thee, will I lay. And thine abominations in thy midst, shall be found, So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.

So then I beheld and lo! a tempestuous wind coming out of the North, a great cloud and a fire catching hold of itself, and it had a brightness round about, -

Son of man, Set thy face against the mountains of Israel, - and prophesy unto them;

But unto these, said he in mine ears, Pass along through the city after him and smite, - let not your eyes shield, neither have ye pity:

Disaster upon disaster, shall come, And report after report shall arise, Therefore shall they seek a vision from prophet, And law shall perish from priest. And counsel from elders.

And your altars shall be laid waste, And your sun-pillars shall be broken in pieces, - And I will cause your slain to fall before your manufactured gods;

And lo! six men coming in out of the way of the upper gate which looketh toward the north even every man with his destructive weapon in his hand, and one man in their midst clothed with linen, having a scribes ink holder by his side, - so they came in and stood beside the altar of bronze.

and thou shalt take from thence, a few in number, - and shalt bind them in thy skirts;

Then said he unto m Son of man Break I pray thee through the wall. So I broke through the wall, and lo! a single opening.

and of them, again take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire,-therefrom, shall go forth a fire unto all the house of Israel.

Thou, wast the anointed cherub that covered, - When I appointed thee, in the holy mount of God, thou wast, Amid stones of fire, thou didst walk to and fro:

In all your dwelling-places, the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places, shall be made desolate, To the end your altar may be laid waste and become desolate. And your manufactured gods be broken in pieces and cease, And your sun-pillars be cut down, And your handiworks be abolished.

Thus saith My Lord Yahweh:A calamity, a sole calamity, lo! it hath come.

Therefore will I take you from among the nations, And gather you out of all the lands,- And will bring you upon your own soil;

Now is the end upon thee, Therefore will I send mine anger against thee, And judge these according to thy ways,- And lay upon thee all thine abominations;

And I will lay the carcases of the sons of Israel before their manufactured gods, - And will scatter your bones round about your altars.
