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.

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

No eye threw a shield over thee. by doing for thee one of these things, taking pity on thee, - - But thou wast cast out, on the face of the field Because thy person was abhorred, in the day thou wast born.

Son of man Set thy face the way towards Teman, And drop thy word against the land of the sun, And prophesy unto the forest of the field of the South;

Son of man, Because Tyre hath said concerning Jerusalem. Aha! She is broken that was the doors of the peoples. She is turned unto me, - I shall be fled, She is laid waste,

And her daughters that are in the field: with the sword shall be slain: ho shall they know that I am Yahweh.

For this cause higher, was his stature than any of the trees of the field,-And multiplied were his boughs And lengthened were his branches, By reason of the mighty waters when he shot forth shoots.

Among his branches, all the birds of the heavens I made their nests, And under his boughs, all the wild beasts of the field brought forth I, - And in his shade, dwelt all the mighty nations.

Upon his trunk, shall settle down all the birds of the heavens,- And among his boughs, are to be found all the wild beasts of the field: -

Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, In the day when he descended into hades, I caused a mourning. I covered over him the roaring deep, And restrained the currents thereof And stayed were the mighty waters, So caused I gloom over him unto Lebanon, And all the trees of the field for him were covered with a shroud.

And I will multiply The fruit of the tree, and The increase of the field, - To the end that ye may not receive any more the reproach of famine among the nations.

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 tremble before me The fishes of the sea, and The bird of the heavens and The wild beast of the field, and Every creeping thing that creepeth on the ground, and All the men we are on the face of the ground, - and The mountains is hall be torn asunder and The steep places I shall sink down I, and Every wall to the earth, shall be thrown.
