Lamentations 3

1	I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
2	He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light.
3	Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day.
4	My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.
5	He hath built against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
6	He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.
7	He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
8	Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
9	He hath enclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
10	He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.
11	He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.
12	He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
13	He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
14	I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
15	He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.
16	He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.
17	And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgot prosperity.
18	And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:
19	Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
20	My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
21	This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
22	It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23	They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
24	The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25	The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
26	It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
27	It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
28	He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.
29	He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
30	He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
31	For the Lord will not cast off forever:
32	But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
33	For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
34	To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,
35	To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,
36	To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
37	Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?
38	Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?
39	Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
40	Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
41	Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
42	We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
43	Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
44	Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.
45	Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.
46	All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
47	Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.
48	Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49	Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,
50	Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.
51	Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.
52	Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
53	They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
54	Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.
55	I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.
56	Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
57	Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
58	O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
59	O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
60	Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.
61	Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me;
62	The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.
63	Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their music.
64	Render unto them a recompense, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
65	Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.
66	Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD.

Lamentations 4

1	How is the gold become dim! how is the most fine gold changed! the stones of the sanctuary are poured out in the top of every street.
2	The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!
3	Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones: the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
4	The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it unto them.
5	They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
6	For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.
7	Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:
8	Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.
9	They that be slain with the sword are better than they that be slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field.
10	The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
11	The LORD hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof.
12	The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.
13	For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her,
14	They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments.
15	They cried unto them, Depart ye; it is unclean; depart, depart, touch not: when they fled away and wandered, they said among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn there.
16	The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they favored not the elders.
17	As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us.
18	They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
19	Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.
20	The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the heathen.
21	Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked.
22	The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will discover thy sins.

Lamentations 5

1	Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.
2	Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.
3	We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.
4	We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.
5	Our necks are under persecution: we labor, and have no rest.
6	We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
7	Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.
8	Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.
9	We got our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.
10	Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.
11	They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.
12	Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honored.
13	They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.
14	The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their music.
15	The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
16	The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!
17	For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.
18	Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.
19	Thou, O LORD, remainest forever; thy throne from generation to generation.
20	Wherefore dost thou forget us forever, and forsake us so long time?
21	Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
22	But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.

Ezekiel 1

1	Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
2	In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
3	The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him.
4	And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire enfolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
5	Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
6	And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
7	And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the color of burnished brass.
8	And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
9	Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
10	As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
11	Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
12	And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.
13	As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
14	And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
15	Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
16	The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the color of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
17	When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went.
18	As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four.
19	And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
20	Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
21	When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
22	And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the color of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.
23	And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies.
24	And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of a host: when they stood, they let down their wings.
25	And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings.
26	And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.
27	And I saw as the color of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.
28	As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.

Ezekiel 2

1	And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.
2	And the spirit entered into me when he spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spoke unto me.
3	And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.
4	For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.
5	And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.
6	And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
7	And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
8	But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.
9	And when I looked, behold, a hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
10	And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

Ezekiel 3

1	Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
2	So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
3	And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
4	And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
5	For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel;
6	Not to many people of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.
7	But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.
8	Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
9	As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
10	Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
11	And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
12	Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place.
13	I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a great rushing.
14	So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me.
15	Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.
16	And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
17	Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
18	When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19	Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20	Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
21	Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
22	And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.
23	Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face.
24	Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spoke with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house.
25	But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:
26	And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house.
27	But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.

Ezekiel 4

1	Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it the city, even Jerusalem:
2	And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.
3	Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
4	Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.
5	For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6	And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.
7	Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.
8	And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.
9	Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
10	And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.
11	Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.
12	And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.
13	And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.
14	Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.
15	Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.
16	Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:
17	That they may want bread and water, and be astonished one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.

Ezekiel 5

1	And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's razor, and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair.
2	Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, and smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.
3	Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.
4	Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.
5	Thus saith the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her.
6	And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.
7	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you;
8	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.
9	And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.
10	Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.
11	Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.
12	A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.
13	Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.
14	Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
15	So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it.
16	When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:
17	So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it.

Ezekiel 6

1	And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2	Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,
3	And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places.
4	And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
5	And I will lay the dead carcasses of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.
6	In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
7	And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
8	Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.
9	And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
10	And they shall know that I am the LORD, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.
11	Thus saith the Lord GOD; Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
12	He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them.
13	Then shall ye know that I am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savor to all their idols.
14	So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Ezekiel 7

1	Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2	Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
3	Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.
4	And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
5	Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.
6	An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.
7	The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.
8	Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thine abominations.
9	And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations that are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am the LORD that smiteth.
10	Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
11	Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them.
12	The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
13	For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
14	They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
15	The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16	But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.
17	All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
18	They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.
19	They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
20	As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.
21	And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.
22	My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
23	Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
24	Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled.
25	Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
26	Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumor shall be upon rumor; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
27	The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Ezekiel 8

1	And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me.
2	Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the color of amber.
3	And he put forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
4	And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
5	Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
6	He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.
7	And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.
8	Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
9	And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.
10	So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon the wall round about.
11	And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.
12	Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.
13	He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
14	Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
15	Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
16	And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshiped the sun toward the east.
17	Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
18	Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

Ezekiel 9

1	He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
2	And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.
3	And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side;
4	And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
5	And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
6	Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
7	And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
8	And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
9	Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
10	And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.
11	And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.

Ezekiel 10

1	Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
2	And he spoke unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.
3	Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
4	Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD's glory.
5	And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.
6	And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
7	And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.
8	And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under their wings.
9	And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the color of a beryl stone.
10	And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.
11	When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.
12	And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.
13	As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.
14	And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15	And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.
16	And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.
17	When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18	Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.
19	And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
20	This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.
21	Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
22	And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
