26_EZE_11_01 moreover the spirit lifted me up, And brought me unto the east gate of the LORD'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, princes of the people.
26_EZE_11_02 Then said he unto me, son of man, These [ are] the men that devise mischief, And give wicked counsel in this city:
26_EZE_11_03 which say, [ it Is] not near; let us build houses: this [ city Is] the caldron, And we [ be] the flesh.
26_EZE_11_04 therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.
26_EZE_11_05 And the spirit of the LORD fell upon me, And said unto me, speak; thus saith the LORD; thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, [ every one of] them.
26_EZE_11_06 ye have multiplied your slain in this city, And ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
26_EZE_11_07 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.
26_EZE_11_08 ye have feared the sword; And I will bring A sword upon you, saith the LORD God.
26_EZE_11_09 And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, And deliver you into the hands of strangers, And will execute judgments among you.
26_EZE_11_10 ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; And ye shall know that I [ am] the LORD.
26_EZE_11_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:
26_EZE_11_12 And ye shall know that I [ am] the LORD: 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.
26_EZE_11_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?
26_EZE_11_14 again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
26_EZE_11_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 LORD: unto us Is this land given in possession.
26_EZE_11_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.
26_EZE_11_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.
26_EZE_11_18 And they shall come thither, And they shall take away all the detestable things thereof And all the abominations thereof from thence.
26_EZE_11_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:
26_EZE_11_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.
26_EZE_11_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.
26_EZE_11_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.
26_EZE_11_23 And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, And stood upon the mountain which [ Is] on the east side of the city.
26_EZE_11_24 afterwards the spirit took me up, And brought me in A vision by the spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
26_EZE_11_25 Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had showed me.
