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

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.

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.

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

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.

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:

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.

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.

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;

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 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;

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!

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 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.

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.

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

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;

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.

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;

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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;

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

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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;

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;

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. -

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.

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

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.

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;

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.

Then said Yahweh unto him. Pass along through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, - and set thou a mark upon the foreheads of the men who are sighing and crying over all the abominations that are being done in her midst.

And it came to pass when they were smiting them - I being left remaining, that I fell upon my face and made outcry, and said Alas! My Lord. Yahweh art thou about to destroy all the remnant of Israel, in that thou art pouring out of thine indignation upon Jerusalem?

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

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.

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.

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;

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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

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:

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

Ye have not gone up into the breaches, Nor but a wall about the house of Israel,- to stand in the battle in the day of Yahweh. s

Because, yea, even because, they have led astray my people saying. Prosperity! when there was no prosperity, - and one man, was building a partition wall, when there they were! eating it with whitewash

Say thou unto them who are coating with whitewash It shall fall,- There hath come an Overflowing rain And I will make ha-stones fall, And a tempestuous wind shall break it down.

Lo! when the wall hath fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the coating, wherewith ye coated it?

Therefore Thus saith my Lord, Yahweh, So will I break down with a tempestuous wind. in mine indignation, - And an overflowing rain in mine anger, shall there be, With hailstones in wrath to make an end;

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.

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:

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.

Therefore, Thus saith my Lord Yahweh, Behold me! against your oracle-cases where. with ye are hunting the souls to make them fly, And I will tear them off your arms, And let go the souls of them whose souls ye are hunting as birds;

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.

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.

Son of man These men have brought up their manufactured gods upon their hear, And their stumbling-block of iniquity, have they set straight before their face, - Shall I be at all enquired of by them?
