CHAPTER 11
Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the L
ORD
’S house, which
looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw
Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, the princes of the people.
2
Then said
he unto me, Son of man, these
are
the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this
city:
3
Which say,
It is
not near; let us build houses: this
city is
the caldron, and we
be
the flesh.
4
Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.
5
And the Spirit of the L
ORD
fell
upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the L
ORD
; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for
I know the things that come into your mind,
every one of
them.
6
Ye have multiplied your slain in
this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
7
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD;
Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they
are
the flesh, and this
city is
the caldron: but
I will bring you forth out of the midst of it.
8
Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword
upon you, saith the Lord GOD.
9
And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into
the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
10
Ye shall fall by the sword; I will
judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I
am
the L
ORD
.
11
This
city
shall not be
your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof;
but
I will judge you in the border
of Israel:
12
And ye shall know that I
am
the L
ORD
: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither
executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that
are
round about you.
13
And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I
down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full
end of the remnant of Israel?
14
Again the word of the L
ORD
came unto me, saying,
15
Son of man,
thy brethren,
even
thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly,
are
they
unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the L
ORD
: unto us is this land
given in possession.
16
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off
among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them
as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.
17
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord
GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have
been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
18
And they shall come thither, and they shall
take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
19
And I
will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out
of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
20
That they may walk in my statutes, and keep
mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
21
But
as for
them
whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will
recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.
22
Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the
God of Israel
was
over them above.
23
And the glory of the L
ORD
went up from the midst of the
city, and stood upon the mountain which
is
on the east side of the city.
