Ezekiel 11 — UBES
11Verse 1Moreover the Spirit took me up, and brought me to the front gate of the house of the Lord, that looks eastward: and behold at the entrance of the gate were about five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, the leaders of the people.Verse 2And the Lord said to me, Son of man, these are the men that devise vanities, and take evil counsel in this city:Verse 3who say, Have not the houses been newly built? This is the caldron, and we are the flesh.Verse 4Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man.Verse 5And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said to me, say; Thus saith the Lord; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: and I know the devices of your spirit.Verse 6Ye have multiplied your dead in this city, and ye have filled your ways with slain men.Verse 7Therefore thus saith the Lord; Your dead whom ye have smitten in the midst of it, these are the flesh, and thiscity is the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it.Verse 8Ye fear the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord.Verse 9And I will bring you forth out of the midst of it, and will deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.Verse 10Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you on the mountains of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.Verse 13And it came to pass, while I was prophesying, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. And I fell upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Alas, alas, O Lord! wilt thou utterly destroy the remnant of Israel?Verse 14And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,Verse 15Son of man, thy brethren, and the men of thy captivity, and all the house of Israel are come to the full, to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem said, Keep ye far away from the Lord: the land is given to us for an inheritance.Verse 16Therefore say thou, Thus saith the Lord; I will cast them off among the nations, and will disperse them into every land, yet will I be to them for a little sanctuary in the countries which they shall enter.Verse 17Therefore say thou, Thus saith the Lord; I will also take them from the heathen, and gather them out of the lands wherein I have scattered them, and will give them the land of Israel.Verse 18And they shall enter in there, and shall remove all the abominations of it, and all its iniquities from it.Verse 19And I will give them another heart, and will put a new spirit within them; and will extract the heart of stone from their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh:Verse 20that they may walk in my commandments, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be to me a people, and I will be to them a God.Verse 21And as for the heart set upon their abominations and their iniquities, as their heart went after them, I have recompensed their ways on their heads, saith the Lord.Verse 22Then the cherubs lifted up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.Verse 23And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city, and stood on the mountain which was in front of the city.Verse 24And the Spirit took me up, and brought me to the land of the Chaldeans, to the captivity, in a vision by the Spirit of God: and I went up after the vision which I saw.Verse 25And I spoke to the captivity all the words of the Lord which he had shown me.
