Moreover the Spirit{H7307} lifted me up,{H5375} and brought{H935} me unto the east{H6931} gate{H8179} of Jehovah's{H3068} house,{H1004} which looketh{H6437} eastward:{H6921} and behold, at the door{H6607} 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}

And he said{H559} unto me, Son{H1121} 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}

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}

Therefore prophesy{H5012} against them, prophesy,{H5012} O son{H1121} of man.{H120}

And the Spirit{H7307} of Jehovah{H3068} fell{H5307} upon me, and he said{H559} unto me, Speak,{H559} 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}

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

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

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

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

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}

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

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{H5439} you.

And it came to pass, when I prophesied,{H5012} 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}

And the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} came unto me, saying,{H559}

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, [are they] unto whom the inhabitants{H3427} 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}

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}

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}

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

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

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

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}

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

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}

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{H5927} from me.

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