He unrolled it before me, and it had writing on the front and back; written on it were laments, mourning, and woe.

He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you see in front of you -- eat this scroll -- and then go and speak to the house of Israel."

"And you, son of man, take a brick and set it in front of you. Inscribe a city on it -- Jerusalem.

And you must eat the food like you would a barley cake. You must bake it in front of them over a fire made with dried human excrement."

Your altars will be ruined and your incense altars will be broken. I will throw down your slain in front of your idols.

I will place the corpses of the people of Israel in front of their idols, and I will scatter your bones around your altars.

In the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth of the month, as I was sitting in my house with the elders of Judah sitting in front of me, the hand of the sovereign Lord seized me.

Seventy men from the elders of the house of Israel (with Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing among them) were standing in front of them, each with a censer in his hand, and fragrant vapors from a cloud of incense were swirling upward.

Old men, young men, young women, little children, and women -- wipe them out! But do not touch anyone who has the mark. Begin at my sanctuary!" So they began with the elders who were at the front of the temple.

Then some men from Israel's elders came to me and sat down in front of me.

They will burn down your houses and execute judgments on you in front of many women. Thus I will put a stop to your prostitution, and you will no longer give gifts to your clients.

In the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, some of the elders of Israel came to seek the Lord, and they sat down in front of me.

You sat on a magnificent couch, with a table arranged in front of it where you placed my incense and my olive oil.

They come to you in crowds, and they sit in front of you as my people. They hear your words, but do not obey them. For they talk lustfully, and their heart is set on their own advantage.

The sticks you write on will be in your hand in front of them.

There was a barrier in front of the alcoves, 1? feet on either side; the alcoves were 10? feet on either side.

From the front of the entrance gate to the porch of the inner gate was 87? feet.

Then he measured the width from before the lower gate to the front of the exterior of the inner court as 175 feet on the east and on the north.

Its windows, its porches, and its decorative palm trees had the same measurement as the gate which faced east. Seven steps led up to it, and its porch was in front of them.

There were seven steps going up to it; its porches were in front of them. It had decorative palm trees on its jambs, one on either side.

He measured the court as a square 175 feet long and 175 feet wide; the altar was in front of the temple.

and also the width of the front of the temple and the courtyard on the east as 175 feet.

The doorposts of the outer sanctuary were square. In front of the sanctuary one doorpost looked just like the other.

On the doors of the outer sanctuary were carved cherubim and palm trees, like those carved on the walls, and there was a canopy of wood on the front of the outside porch.

In front of the chambers was a walkway on the inner side, 17? feet wide at a distance of 1? feet, and their entrances were on the north.

with a passage in front of them. They looked like the chambers on the north. Of the same length and width, and all their exits according to their arrangements and entrances

were the chambers which were toward the south. There was an opening at the head of the passage, the passage in front of the corresponding wall toward the east when one enters.

Then he brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the temple. As I watched, I noticed the glory of the Lord filling the Lord's temple, and I threw myself face down.
