1 Moreover the spirit7307 lifted5375 me up, and brought935 me to the east6931 gate8179 of the LORD's3068 house,1004 which looks6437 eastward:6921 and behold2009 at the door6607 of the gate8179 five2568 and twenty6242 men;376 among8432 whom I saw7200 Jaazaniah2970 the son1121 of Azur,5809 and Pelatiah6410 the son1121 of Benaiah,1141 princes8269 of the people.5971

2 Then said559 he to me, Son1121 of man,120 these428 are the men582 that devise2803 mischief,205 and give wicked7451 counsel6098 in this2063 city:5892

3 Which say,559 It is not near;7138 let us build1129 houses:1004 this1931 city is the caldron,5518 and we be the flesh.1320

4 Therefore3651 prophesy5012 against5921 them, prophesy,5012 O son1121 of man.120

5 And the Spirit7307 of the LORD3068 fell5307 on me, and said559 to me, Speak;559 Thus3541 said559 the LORD;3068 Thus3651 have you said,559 O house1004 of Israel:3478 for I know3045 the things that come4609 into your mind,7307 every one of them.

6 You have multiplied7235 your slain2491 in this2063 city,5892 and you have filled4390 the streets2351 thereof with the slain.2491

7 Therefore3651 thus3541 said559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Your slain2491 whom834 you have laid7760 in the middle8432 of it, they are the flesh,1320 and this1931 city is the caldron:5518 but I will bring3318 you forth3318 out of the middle8432 of it.

8 You have feared3372 the sword;2719 and I will bring935 a sword2719 on you, said5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069

9 And I will bring3318 you out of the middle8432 thereof, and deliver5414 you into the hands3027 of strangers,2114 and will execute6213 judgments8201 among you.

10 You shall fall5307 by the sword;2719 I will judge8199 you in the border1366 of Israel;3478 and you shall know3045 that I am the LORD.3068

11 This1931 city shall not be your caldron,5518 neither shall you be the flesh1320 in the middle8432 thereof; but I will judge8199 you in the border1366 of Israel:3478

12 And you shall know3045 that I am the LORD:3068 for you have not walked1980 in my statutes,2706 neither3808 executed6213 my judgments,4941 but have done6213 after the manners4941 of the heathen1471 that are round5439 about you.

13 And it came1961 to pass, when I prophesied,5012 that Pelatiah6410 the son1121 of Benaiah1141 died.4191 Then fell5307 I down on my face,6440 and cried2199 with a loud1419 voice,6963 and said,559 Ah162 Lord136 GOD!3069 will you make6213 a full end3615 of the remnant7611 of Israel?3478

14 Again the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to me, saying,559

15 Son1121 of man,120 your brothers,251 even your brothers,251 the men582 of your kindred,1353 and all3605 the house1004 of Israel3478 wholly,3605 are they to whom834 the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem3389 have said,559 Get you far7368 from the LORD:3068 to us is this1931 land776 given5414 in possession.4181

16 Therefore3651 say,559 Thus3541 said559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Although3588 I have cast7368 them far7368 off among the heathen,1471 and although272 I have scattered6327 them among the countries,776 yet will I be to them as a little4592 sanctuary4720 in the countries776 where834 8033 they shall come.935

17 Therefore3651 say,559 Thus3541 said559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 I will even gather6908 you from the people,5971 and assemble622 you out of the countries776 where834 you have been scattered,6327 and I will give5414 you the land127 of Israel.3478

18 And they shall come935 thither,8033 and they shall take5493 away5493 all3605 the detestable8251 things thereof and all3605 the abominations8441 thereof from there.

19 And I will give5414 them one259 heart,3820 and I will put5414 a new2319 spirit7307 within7130 you; and I will take5493 the stony68 heart3820 out of their flesh,1320 and will give5414 them an heart3820 of flesh:1320

20 That they may walk3212 in my statutes,2708 and keep8104 my ordinances,4941 and do6213 them: and they shall be my people,5971 and I will be their God.430

21 But as for them whose heart3820 walks1980 after the heart3820 of their detestable8251 things and their abominations,8441 I will recompense5414 their way1870 on their own heads,7218 said5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069

22 Then did the cherubim3742 lift5375 up their wings,3671 and the wheels212 beside5980 them; and the glory3519 of the God430 of Israel3478 was over5921 them above.4605

23 And the glory3519 of the LORD3068 went5927 up from the middle8432 of the city,5892 and stood5975 on the mountain2022 which834 is on the east6924 side6924 of the city.5892

24 Afterwards the spirit7307 took5375 me up, and brought935 me in a vision4758 by the Spirit7307 of God430 into Chaldea,3778 to them of the captivity.1473 So the vision4758 that I had seen7200 went5927 up from me.

25 Then I spoke1696 to them of the captivity1473 all3605 the things1697 that the LORD3068 had showed7200 me.
