And those escaping of you remembered me among the nations where they were carried captive there, because I was broken with their heart of a harlot, which turned away from me, and their eyes committing fornication after their blocks: and they loathed in their faces for the evils which they did for all their abominations.

And they escaping, escaped, and they were on the mountains as doves of the valleys, all of them slain, a man for his iniquity.

Persia and Lud and Phut were in thy strength, thy men of war: hung the shield and helmet in thee; they gave thy decoration.

The sons of Arvad and thine army upon thy walls round about, and the Gammadims were in thy towers: they hung their shields upon thy walls round about; they completed thy beauty.

So that all the trees of the waters shall not be lifted up in height, and they shall not give their foliage between the thick boughs, and all they drinking water shall not stand upon them in their height: for they all were given to death, to the earth underneath, in the midst of the sons of man, to those going down to the pit

According to the seeking of the shepherd of his flock in the day of his being in the midst of his sheep being scattered.; so will I search out my sheep and deliver them from all places where they were scattered there in the day of cloud and darkness.

And thou knewest that I am Jehovah; I heard all thy reproaches which thou spakest against the mountains of Israel, saying, They were given to us a desolation to consume.

Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because the enemy said against you, Aha! and the heights of old were for a possession to us:

For this ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus said the Lord Jehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the torrents and to the valleys, and to the desolate wastes, and to cities being forsaken which were for plunder and for derision to the rest of the nations that are from round about;

The breadth of the wall which was to the side without, five cubits: and that remaining of the house the sides which were to the house.

Over against the twenty which were for the inner enclosure, add over against the tesselated pavement which was to the court without, an offset to the face of an offset in threes.

For they were from threes, and no pillars to them as the pillars of the enclosures: for this it was contracted from the lower and from the middle from the earth.

For the length of the cells which were to the enclosure without, fifty cubits: and behold, at the face of the temple a hundred cubits

And the way before them as the appearance of the cells which were the way of the north, as the length so the breadth: and all their goings out according to their judgments and according to their entrances.

And according to the doors of the cells which were the way of the south, a door in the head of the way, the way in the face of the wall suitable the way of the east in entering.

And if they were ashamed of all which they did, the form of the house and its structure, and all its goings out and all its comings in, and all its forms, and all its laws, and all its forms, and all its instructions, make known to them: and write before their eyes, and they shall watch all its instructions and all its laws, and do them.

And they were serving in my holy place, reviewing at the gates of the house, and serving the house: they shall slaughter the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to serve them.
