The form of four living creatures came from it. And this was their appearance: They had human form,

A voice came from above the expanse over their heads; when they stood still, they lowered their wings.

I came to the exiles at Tel-abib, who were living by the Chebar Canal, and I sat there among them stunned for seven days.

Now at the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me:

The word of the Lord came to me:

And I saw six men coming from the direction of the Upper Gate, which faces north, each with a war club in his hand. There was another man among them, clothed in linen, with writing equipment at his side. They came and stood beside the bronze altar.

So I answered them: “The word of the Lord came to me:

In the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:

The word of the Lord came to me:

The elders of Gebal and its wise men
were within you, repairing your leaks.

All the ships of the sea and their sailors
came to you to barter for your goods.

The word of the Lord came to me:

In the twelfth year of our exile, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month, a fugitive from Jerusalem came to me and reported, “The city has been taken!”

Now the hand of the Lord had been on me the evening before the fugitive arrived, and He opened my mouth before the man came to me in the morning. So my mouth was opened and I was no longer mute.

Then the word of the Lord came to me:

The word of the Lord came to me:

When they came to the nations where they went, they profaned My holy name, because it was said about them, ‘These are the people of Yahweh, yet they had to leave His land in exile.’
