and he spread it out before me, and, it was written on the front and the back, - and there were written thereon, lamentation and sighing, and wailing.

Thou therefore O son of man Take thee a tablet, and lay it before thee, - and pourtray thereon a city, even Jerusalem.

Thou, therefore lie thou on thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it, - during the number of the days which thou shalt lie thereon, shalt thou bear their punishment.

Son of man, When a land, shall sin against me by committing treachery, and I shall stretch out my hand against it, And break for it the staff of bread, And send thereon famine, And cut off therefrom man and beast,

Or pestilence, I, should send into that land, - and should pour out mine indignation thereon in blood, to cut off therefrom man and beast

Shall there be taken from it wood, to be made into any work? Or will men take therefrom a peg, to hang thereon any vessel?

Yea thou didst take of thy raiment and madest thee high places of hangings, And didst commit unchastity thereon,- Which ought not to have befallen And not to have come to pass.

Then satest thou upon a glorious couch With a table prepared before it, - And mine incense and mine oil, didst thou set thereon.

Wherefore, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Woe! city of bloodshed. The caldron whose scum is in it, and whose scum, hath not gone out of it: Piece by piece, bring it out, There hath fallen thereon no lot.

And in the porch of the gate, were two tables on this side, and two tables, on that side, - to slay thereon the ascending-sacrifice, and the sin-bearer, and the gut-bearer.

And the four tables for the ascending-offering: were of hewn stone. in length, one cubit and a half, and in breadth, one cubit and a half, and in height, one cubit, - that thereon, they may lay the instruments wherewith they shall slay the ascending-offering and the sacrifice.

Then said he unto me, Son of man, Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, There, shall be the statutes of the altar, in the day when it is made, - for offering up thereon - an ascending-sacrifice, and for dashing thereon - blood.
