* And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the eastern gate of the LORD 's house , which faces eastward . And behold , twenty-five men were at the opening of the gate ; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur , and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah , rulers of the people . * And He said to me , Son of man , these [are ] the men who plot evil and give wicked advice in this city ; * who say , [It is ] not near ; let us build houses ; this [city is ] the pot , and we [are ] the flesh . * Therefore prophesy against them . Prophesy , O son of man ! * And the Spirit of the LORD fell on me , and said to me , Speak : So says the LORD : So you have said , O house of Israel , for I Myself know the elevations of your spirit . * You have multiplied your dead in this city , and you have filled its streets with the dead . * Therefore so says the Lord Jehovah : Your slain whom you have laid in her midst , they [are ] the flesh , and this [city is ] the pot . But I will bring you out of her midst . * You have feared the sword , and I will bring a sword on you , says the Lord Jehovah . * And I will bring you out of her midst , and deliver you into the hands of strangers , and will execute judgments on you . * You shall fall by the sword . I will judge you in the border of Israel , and you shall know that I [am ] the LORD . * This [city ] shall not be your pot , nor shall you be the flesh in her midst . But I will judge you in the border of Israel , * and you shall know that I [am ] the LORD . For you have not walked in My statutes , nor have you done My judgments , but have done after the customs of the nations all around you . * And it happened when I prophesied , Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died . And I fell on my face and cried with a loud voice , and said , Ah Lord Jehovah ! Will You make a full end [of ] the remnant of Israel ? * Again the Word of the LORD came to me , saying , * Son of man , your brothers , even your brothers , the men of your redemption , and all the house of Israel , of all that have heard the inhabitants of Jerusalem saying to all of them , Go far away from Jehovah ; this land is given to us for a possession . * Therefore say , So says the Lord Jehovah : Though I have sent them far off among the nations , and though I scattered them among the lands , yet I will be to them as a little sanctuary in the lands where they had gone . * Therefore say , So says the Lord Jehovah : I will even gather you from the people and assemble you out of the lands , in those where you were scattered , and I will give you the land of Israel . * And they shall come there , and they shall take away all its hateful things and all its abominations from it . * And I will give them one heart , and I will put a new spirit within you . And I will remove the stony heart out of their flesh , and will give them a heart of flesh , * so that they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances , and do them . And they shall be My people , and I will be their God . * And [as ] to [those whose ] heart is going [after ] their hateful things , and [also ] their heart [is after ] their disgusting idols , I will give their way on their own heads , says the Lord Jehovah . * And the cherubs lifted up their wings , and the wheels beside them . And the glory of the God of Israel [was ] over them above . * And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city and stood on the mountain which [is ] on the east side of the city . * And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea , to the exiles . And the vision that I had seen went up from me . * And I spoke to the exiles all the things that the LORD had shown me .
