In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, while I was among the exiles by the Chebar Canal, the heavens opened and I saw visions of God.

On the fifth day of the month—it was the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s exile—

The one who is far off will die by plague; the one who is near will fall by the sword; and the one who remains and is spared will die of famine. In this way I will exhaust My wrath on them.

They will throw their silver into the streets,
and their gold will seem like something filthy.
Their silver and gold will be unable to save them
in the day of the Lord’s wrath.
They will not satisfy their appetites
or fill their stomachs,
for these were the stumbling blocks
that brought about their iniquity.

In the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, I was sitting in my house and the elders of Judah were sitting in front of me, and there the hand of the Lord God came down on me.

You did not go up to the gaps or restore the wall around the house of Israel so that it might stand in battle on the day of the Lord.

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

“Son of man, say to her: You are a land that has not been cleansed, that has not received rain in the day of indignation.

The word of the Lord came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month:

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

Now the coastlands tremble
on the day of your downfall;
the islands in the sea
are alarmed by your demise.”

Your wealth, merchandise, and goods,
your sailors and captains,
those who repair your leaks,
those who barter for your goods,
and all the warriors within you,
with all the other people on board,
sink into the heart of the sea
on the day of your downfall.

In the tenth year, in the tenth month on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:

In the twenty-seventh year in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:

For a day is near;
a day belonging to the Lord is near.
It will be a day of clouds,
a time of doom for the nations.

On that day, messengers will go out from Me in ships to terrify confident Cush. Anguish will come over them on the day of Egypt’s doom. For indeed it is coming.”

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

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

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

I will cause many nations to be appalled at you,
and their kings will shudder with fear because of you
when I brandish My sword in front of them.
On the day of your downfall
each of them will tremble
every moment for his life.

In the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:

“Now, son of man, say to your people: The righteousness of the righteous person will not save him on the day of his transgression; neither will the wickedness of the wicked person cause him to stumble on the day he turns from his wickedness. The righteous person won’t be able to survive by his righteousness on the day he sins.

When a righteous person turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will die on account of this.

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!”

In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month in the fourteenth year after Jerusalem had been captured, on that very day the Lord’s hand was on me, and He brought me there.

“This is what the Lord God says: In the first month, on the first day of the month, you are to take a young, unblemished bull and purify the sanctuary.

You must do the same thing on the seventh day of the month for everyone who sins unintentionally or through ignorance. In this way you will make atonement for the temple.

“In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you are to celebrate the Passover, a festival of seven days during which unleavened bread will be eaten.

At the festival that begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, he will provide the same things for seven days—the same sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, and oil.

“This is what the Lord God says: The gate of the inner court that faces east must be closed during the six days of work, but it will be opened on the Sabbath day and opened on the day of the New Moon.

On the day of the New Moon, the burnt offering is to be a young, unblemished bull, as well as six lambs and a ram without blemish.

The perimeter of the city will be six miles, and the name of the city from that day on will be: Yahweh Is There.”
