upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
10
And they shall bear the
punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him
that seeketh
unto him;
11
That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be
polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their
God, saith the Lord GOD.
12
The word of the L
ORD
came again to me, saying,
13
Son of man, when the land sinneth against
me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of
the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:
14
Though
these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver
but
their own souls by their
righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.
15
If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that
no man may pass through because of the beasts:
16
Though
these three men
were
in it,
as
I live,
saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but
the land shall be desolate.
17
Or
if
I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off
man and beast from it:
18
Though these three men
were
in it,
as
I live, saith the Lord GOD, they
shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
19
Or
if
I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from
it man and beast:
20
Though Noah, Daniel, and Job,
were
in it,
as
I live, saith the Lord GOD, they
shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall
but
deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
21
For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon
Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it
man and beast?
22
Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth,
both
sons and daughters:
behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be
comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem,
even
concerning all that I have
brought upon it.
23
And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye
shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.
CHAPTER 15
And the word of the L
ORD
came unto me, saying,
2
Son of man, What is the vine tree more than
any tree,
or than
a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
3
Shall wood be taken thereof to
do any work? or will
men
take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
4
Behold, it is cast into the
fire for fuel; the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet for
any
work?
5
Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less shall it be meet yet
for
any
work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned?
