1. Moreover the Spirit[H7307] lifted me up[H5375], and brought[H935] me unto the east[H6931] gate[H8179] of Jehovah[H3068]'s house[H1004], which looketh[H6437] eastward[H6921]: and behold[H6607], at the door of the gate[H8179] five[H2568] and twenty[H6242] men[H376]; and I saw[H7200] in the midst[H8432] of them Jaazaniah[H2970] the son[H1121] of Azzur[H5809], and Pelatiah[H6410] the son[H1121] of Benaiah[H1141], princes[H8269] of the people[H5971].

2. And he said[H559] unto me[H1121], Son of man[H120], these are the men[H582] that devise[H2803] iniquity[H205], and that give[H3289] wicked[H7451] counsel[H6098] in this city[H5892];

3. that say[H559], The time is not near[H7138] to build[H1129] houses[H1004]: this city is the caldron[H5518], and we are the flesh[H1320].

4. Therefore prophesy[H5012] against them[H5012], prophesy, O son[H1121] of man[H120].

5. And the Spirit[H7307] of Jehovah[H3068] fell[H5307] upon me[H559], and he said unto me[H559], Speak, Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068]: Thus have ye said[H559], O house[H1004] of Israel[H3478]; for I know[H3045] the things that come[H4609] into your mind[H7307].

6. Ye have multiplied[H7235] your slain[H2491] in this city[H5892], and ye have filled[H4390] the streets[H2351] thereof with the slain[H2491].

7. Therefore thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]: Your slain[H2491] whom ye have laid[H7760] in the midst[H8432] of it[H1320], they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron[H5518]; but ye shall be brought forth[H3318] out of the midst of it[H8432].

8. Ye have feared[H3372] the sword[H2719]; and I will bring[H935] the sword[H2719] upon you[H5002], saith the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069].

9. And I will bring you forth out[H3318] of the midst[H8432] thereof[H5414], and deliver you into the hands[H3027] of strangers[H2114], and will execute[H6213] judgments among you[H8201].

10. Ye shall fall[H5307] by the sword[H2719]; I will judge[H8199] you in the border[H1366] of Israel[H3478]; and ye shall know[H3045] that I am Jehovah[H3068].

11. This city shall not be your caldron[H5518], neither shall ye be the flesh[H1320] in the midst[H8432] thereof[H8199]; I will judge you in the border[H1366] of Israel[H3478];

12. and ye shall know[H3045] that I am Jehovah[H3068]: for ye have not walked[H1980] in my statutes[H2706], neither have ye executed[H6213] mine ordinances[H4941], but have done[H6213] after the ordinances[H4941] of the nations[H1471] that are round about you[H5439].

13. And it came to pass[H5012], when I prophesied, that Pelatiah[H6410] the son[H1121] of Benaiah[H1141] died[H4191]. Then fell I down[H5307] upon my face[H6440], and cried[H2199] with a loud[H1419] voice[H6963], and said[H559], Ah[H162] Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]! wilt thou make[H6213] a full end[H3617] of the remnant[H7611] of Israel[H3478]?

14. And the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] came unto me[H559], saying,

15. Son[H1121] of man[H120], thy brethren[H251], even thy brethren[H251], the men[H582] of thy kindred[H1353], and all the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478], all of them[H3427], are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem[H3389] have said[H559], Get you far[H7368] from Jehovah[H3068]; unto us is this land[H776] given[H5414] for a possession[H4181].

16. Therefore say[H559], Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H136]: Whereas I have removed them far off[H7368] among the nations[H1471], and whereas I have scattered[H6327] them among the countries[H776], yet will I be to them a sanctuary[H4720] for a little[H4592] while in the countries[H776] where they are come[H935].

17. Therefore say[H559], Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H136]: I will gather[H6908] you from the peoples[H5971], and assemble[H622] you out of the countries[H776] where ye have been scattered[H6327], and I will give[H5414] you the land[H127] of Israel[H3478].

18. And they shall come[H935] thither[H5493], and they shall take away all the detestable things[H8251] thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence[H8441].

19. And I will give[H5414] them one[H259] heart[H3820], and I will put[H5414] a new[H2319] spirit[H7307] within[H7130] you[H5493]; and I will take the stony[H68] heart[H3820] out of their flesh[H1320], and will give[H5414] them a heart[H3820] of flesh[H1320];

20. that they may walk[H3212] in my statutes[H2708], and keep[H8104] mine ordinances[H4941], and do[H6213] them[H5971]: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God[H430].

21. But as for them whose heart[H3820] walketh[H1980] after the heart[H3820] of their detestable things[H8251] and their abominations[H8441], I will bring[H5414] their way[H1870] upon their own heads[H7218], saith[H5002] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069].

22. Then did the cherubim[H3742] lift up[H5375] their wings[H3671], and the wheels[H212] were beside[H5980] them[H3519]; and the glory of the God[H430] of Israel[H3478] was over them above[H4605].

23. And the glory[H3519] of Jehovah[H3068] went up[H5927] from the midst[H8432] of the city[H5892], and stood[H5975] upon the mountain[H2022] which is on the east side[H6924] of the city[H5892].

24. And the Spirit[H7307] lifted me up[H5375], and brought[H935] me in the vision[H4758] by the Spirit[H7307] of God[H430] into Chaldea[H3778], to them of the captivity[H1473]. So the vision[H4758] that I had seen[H7200] went up from me[H5927].

25. Then I spake[H1696] unto them of the captivity[H1473] all the things[H1697] that Jehovah[H3068] had showed me[H7200].
