So then I beheld and lo! a tempestuous wind coming out of the North, a great cloud and a fire catching hold of itself, and it had a brightness round about, -

and out of the midst thereof, as burnished copper to look upon out of the midst of the fire; and out of the midst thereof, a likeness of four living ones, and this was their appearance, the likeness of a man, had they;

and four faces each, and four wings each, had they;

and the likeness of their faces was the face of a man, with the face of a lion to the right of the four of them, and the face of an ox on the left, of the four of them, - the face of an eagle, also had they four;

As for the likeness of the living ones, their appearance was like live coals of fire burning up like the appearance of torches, the same went to and fro between the living ones, - and the fire had brightness and out of the fire, went forth a lightning.

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.

As for their rings, they were so high that they were terrible, -and their rings full of eyes round about, had they four.

And under the expanse, their wings were straight, one towards another, - each one had two covering on this side, and each one had two covering on that side, their bodies.

And I saw as burnished copper to look upon, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upwards and from the appearance of his loins and downward, saw I as the appearance of fire, and he had brightness round about:

liner unto many peoples deep of lip and heavy of tongue, whose words thou couldst not understand, - surely if unto them I had sent thee, they would have hearkened unto thee.

Then shall they know that, I, Yahweh, - not in vain, had threatened to bring upon them this calamity.

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;

and lo! there, the glory of the God of Israel, like the appearance which I had seen in the valley.

And the glory of the God of Israel lifted itself up from off the cherub whereon it had been, unto the threshold of the house, - and he called unto the man clothed with linen, who had the scribes ink holder by his side.

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

And four faces had each one, - the first face, was the face of a cherub, and, the second face, was the face of a man and the third was the face of a lion. and the fourth, was the face of an eagle.

Then arose the cherubim, - the same, was the living one, which I had seen by the river Chebar.

Four faces severally, had each one, and four wings, had each one, - and the likeness of the hands of a man, was under their wings.

And, the spirit lifted me up, and brought me to Chaldea unto them of the captivity, in the vision by the Spirit of God, - thus went up from me, the vision which I had seen.

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

They have had Visions of falsehood, and Divinations of lies, Who say. Declareth Yahweh, when, Yahweh, hath not sent them, - Yet have they waited for fulfilling of the word.

Therefore Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Because ye have spoken falsehood, And have had visions of lies, Therefore behold me! against you, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

Then went forth thy fame among the nations. for thy beauty,- Foe perfect, it was - in my splendour which I had put upon thee, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.

But thou didst take thine adorning jewels Of my gold and of my silver which I had given thee, And didst make thee images of the male, - c And didst act unchastely with them;

And my food which I had given thee, Fine flour and ell and honey wherewith I fed thee, And didst set it before them for a satisfying odour Yea so it was, - Saith My Lord Yahweh.

As I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Very! Sodom thy sister had not done, neither she nor her daughters, - as thou and thy daughters have done.

So then thou shalt say, Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, - A great eagle, with large wings of long pinion, full of plumage, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar:

His father Because he exacted unjust gain Seized plunder of a brother, And that which was not good, had-done in the midst of his people Therefore lo! he died, in his iniquity.

When he considered, then he turned away from all his transgressions which he had committed, He shall surely live. He shall not die.

And she saw she had waited Lost was her hope, Then took she another of her whelps. A young lion, she made him.

In that day, lifted I up my hand to them, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt, - into a land that I had looked out for them flowing with milk and honey, The beauty, it was of all lands,

Howbeit I wrought with effect for the sake of mine own Name, - that it should not b profaned in the eyes of the nations, in whose eyes I had brought them forth.

Yet even l lifted up my hand to them. in the desert, - That I would not b1ing them into the land which I had given to them flowing with milk and honey, The beauty, it was. of all lands:

Because my regulations, they had rejected. And as for my statutes, they had not walked therein, My sabbaths also, had they profaned; or after their manufactured gods, their heart had been going.

Howbeit I withdrew my hand, and wrought with effect for the sake of mine own Name, - that it should not be profaned before the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had brought them forth:

Because my regulations, had they not done And my statutes, they had rejected, My sabbaths also, they had profaned,- And after the manufactured gods of their fathers, were their eyes turned.

When I brought them into the land as to which I had lifted up mine hand to give it them, then beheld they every high hill and every tangled tree And offered there their sacrifices, And presented there, their provoking gift, And placed there, their satisfying odour, And poured out there, their drink- offerings.

Then shall ye call to mind. there, your own ways and all your own doings, where- with ye had defiled yourselves,- And ye stroll become loathsome in your own sight, for all your wickednesses, which ye have done.

Then became Oholah unchaste after she had become mine- And lusted after her lovers, For Assyrians, so warlike,

And her unchaste doings from the time she was in Egypt:, trod she not forsaken, For with her, had they lain in her youth, Yea They had pressed her virgin bosoms,- and had poured out their unchastity upon her.

They disclosed her shame, Her sons and her daughters:, took they away, And herself - with the sword, they slew, - Thus became she a by-word among women, when judgments, they had executed upon her.

So I saw that she defiled herself, - One way, had they both.

Thus disclosed she her unchaste desires, And disclosed her shame,- So my soul was torn from her, Just as my soul had been torn from her sister.

Yea when they had slaughtered their children to their manufactured gods, then entered they into my sanctuary, on the same day, to profane it,- And lo! thus have they done in the midst of mine own house.

So I spake unto the people in the morning, and my wife died in the even, - and I did in the morning, as I had been commanded.

All that had known thee among the peoples were astounded over thee, - A terror, hast thou become, And tart not I Unto times age-abiding.

For thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, - At the end of forty years, will I gather the Egyptians from among the peoples whither I had dispersed them;

Son of man Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, hath made his army undergo a long service against Tyre, Every head, hath been made bald, and Every shoulder worn beret - But pay, hath he had none nor hath his army, out of Tyre, for the service wherewith he hath served against it.

Thus became he beautiful in his greatness, In the length of his waving branches, Because his root had gone towards mighty waters. s

At the sound of his fall, I made nations tremble, When I caused him to descend into hades, with them who descend into the pit, - Then were grieved in the earth below-All the trees of Eden, The choicest and best of Lebanon All who had drunk the waters.

The sound of the horn, he heard, but took not warning, His blood, upon himself shall remain, - Whereas had he taken warning, his own soul, he should have delivered.

And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the tenth month on the fifth of the month of our exe, that there came unto me one that had escaped out of Jerusalem saying. Smitten is the city!

Now the hand of Yahweh, had come unto me in the evening, before the coining of him who had escaped, and he had opened my mouth, by the time that he came to me in the morning, - so my mouth I was opened, and I was dumb no longer.

Because thou hast had an age-abiding enmity, And hast delivered up the sons of Israel unto he hands of the sword,- In the time of their misfortune, In the time of the final punishment for iniquity,

Because thou hast said, the two nations, and the two lands, mine, shall become, that we may possess it Whereas Yahweh, had been there,

As thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it had become a desolation, so, will, I, do unto thee, - A desolation, shalt thou become, O Mount Seir And all Edom all of it, So shall they know that, I, am Yahweh.

So I poured out mine indignation upon them, Because of the blood which they had shed upon the land,- Yea with their manufactured gods, had they defiled it.

So then I had tender regard for my holy Name,- Which the house of Israel had profaned, among the nations, where they had entered.

And when I looked, then lo! upon them were sinews, and flesh had come up, and there had spread over them skin above, but spirit, was there none within them.

Lo! it is coming, and shall be brought to pass, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh,-the same, is the day whereof I had spoken.

And the nations shall know That in their iniquity, were the house of Israel exiled because they had committed treachery against me, And so I hid my face from them, - And gave them into the hand of their adversaries, And they fell by the sword all of them.

And I the ledges of the gate that was towards the east were, three on this side and three on that side, one measure, had they three, - and one measure, had the projections on this side and on that side.

And latticed windows had the lodges, even towards their projections within the gate round about on every side, and, so, had the recesses, - and windows round about on every side inwards, and against each projection, palm trees.

And seven steps the ascents thereof, with its recesses within, - and it had palm trees one on this side and one on that side against the projections thereof.

And a gate, had the inner court towards the south, - so he measured from gate to gate toward the south, a hundred cubits.

Then saw I that the house had a height round about on every side, - the foundations of the side- chambers, a full reed, six cubits to the joining.

And it was made with cherubim and palm-trees, - with a palm-tree between cherub and cherub, and two faces had each cherub;

And there had been made unto them unto the doors of the temple cherubim and palm-trees, like as had been made to the walls, - and thick beams of wood unto the front of the porch without.

For three stories, they were; and had not pillars like the pillars of the courts; for this cause, it differed from the lowest and from the middle, from the ground.

And when he had ended the measurings of the inner house, then he brought me forth by way of the gate which looked toward the east, - and measured it round about on every side.

Toward the four winds, measured he it a wall, had it round about on every side, in length, five hundred, and in breadth five hundred, - to make a separation, between the holy and the common.

And it was like the appearance of the vision which I had seen like the vision which I saw - when I came in to destroy the city, also the visions were like the vision which I saw by the river Chebar, - so I fell upon my face.

And there was an enclosure round about in them round about to those four, - and boiling places had been made under the enclosures round about.

Then measured he a thousand - a river which I could not pass through - for the waters had risen-waters to swim in, la river, that could not be forded.
