lesserot - Ezekiel:36-38

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:1 @ But thou, son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, O mountains of Israel, hear ye the word of the Lord.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:2 @ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because the enemy hath said regarding you, Aha, even the ancient highplaces are become ours as a possession:

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:3 @ Therefore prophesy and say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because, even because men have made you desolate, and sought to swallow you up on every side, that ye might become a possession unto the residue of the nations, and ye are taken up as a talk for tongues, and an evil report of the people:

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:4 @ Therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear ye the word of the Lord Eternal, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal to the mountains, and to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys, to the desolate ruins, and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are round about:

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:5 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Idumea, that have appropriated my land unto themselves as a possession with the joy of all their heart, with derision in their soul, in order to drive it out that it may be for a prey.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:6 @ Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, In my zealousness and in my fury have I spoken, because ye have borne the reproach of the nations:

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:7 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I have indeed lifted up my hand, that the nations who are round about you these shall bear their shame.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:8 @ But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall send forth your boughs, and your fruit shall ye bear for my people Israel, for they are near at hand to come.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:9 @ For, behold, I will be for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and ye shall be sown;

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:10 @ And I will multiply upon you men, all the house of Israel altogether; and the cities shall be inhabited again, and the ruins shall be rebuilt;

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:11 @ And I will multiply upon you men and beast, and they shall increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited after your old estates, and will do more good unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:12 @ Yea, I will cause to walk upon you men, even my people Israel, and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be unto them as an inheritance, and thou shalt not any more henceforth cast them out.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:13 @ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because they say unto you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast been one that hath ever cast out thy nations:

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:14 @ Therefore shalt thou not devour up men any more, and thy nations shalt thou not cast out any more, saith the Lord Eternal.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:15 @ And I will not let be heard against thee any more the reproach of the nations, and the disgrace of the people shalt thou not bear any more, and thy nations shalt thou not cast out any more, saith the Lord Eternal.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:16 @ And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:17 @ Son of man, the house of Israel, when they dwelt in their own land, defiled it through their way and through their doings: like the uncleanness of a woman in her separation was their way before me.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:18 @ And I poured out my fury over them because of the blood that they had shed in the land, and because through their idols they had polluted it;

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:19 @ And I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings did I judge them.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:20 @ And when they were come unto the nations, whither they were gone, they profaned my holy name; because they said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and out of his land are they gone forth.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:21 @ But I had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, whither they were gone.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:22 @ Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Not for your sake do I this, O house of Israel, but for the sake of my holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations, whither ye are gone.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:23 @ And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord Eternal, when I will be sanctified through you before your eyes.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:24 @ And I will take you from among the nations, and I will gather you out of all the countries, and I will bring you unto your own land.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:25 @ And I will sprinkle upon you clean water, and ye shall be clean: from all your impurities, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:26 @ And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will remove the heart of stone out of your body, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:27 @ And my spirit I will put within you, and I will cause that you shall walk in my statutes, and that my ordinances ye shall keep, and do them.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:28 @ And ye shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be unto me for a people, and I truly will be unto you as a God.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:29 @ And I will save you from all kinds of your impurities; and I will call unto the corn, and increase it, and I will not lay famine upon you.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:30 @ And I will multiply the fruit of the trees, and the products of the field: in order that ye may receive no more reproach on account of famine among the nations.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:31 @ Then shall ye remember your ways that they were evil, and your doings that were not good; and ye shall loathe yourselves on account of your iniquities and on account of your abominations.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:32 @ Not for your sake do I this, saith the Lord Eternal, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded because of your ways, O house of Israel.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:33 @ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, On the day of my cleansing you from all your iniquities, when I cause the cities to be inhabited, and when the ruins are built up,

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:34 @ And when the desolate land is tilled, instead that it was a waste before the eyes of every passer by:

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:35 @ Then shall they say, This land, that was desolate, is become like the garden of Eden; and the cities that were ruined, and desolate, and broken down, are become fortified, and inhabited.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:36 @ And the nations that are left round about you shall know that I the Lord have built up the brokendown, have planted the desolate: I the Lord have spoken this, and have done it.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:37 @ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Also in this will I yet suffer myself to be entreated of by the house of Israel, to do it for them, I will increase them with men like flocks.

lesserot@Ezekiel:36:38 @ As the flocks of the holy things, as the flocks of Jerusalem on her appointed feasts, so shall the ruined cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:1 @ There came over me the inspiration of the Lord, and he carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones;

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:2 @ And he caused me to pass by them all round about; and, behold, there were very many of them on the surface of the valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:3 @ And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live! And I said, O Lord Eternal, thou alone knowest this.

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:4 @ And he said unto me, Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear ye the word of the Lord.

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:5 @ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal unto these bones, Behold, I will bring a spirit into you, and ye shall live;

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:6 @ And I will lay sinews upon you, and bring up flesh upon you, and draw over you a skin, and put a spirit in you, and ye shall live: and ye shall experience that I am the Lord.

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:7 @ And so I prophesied as I had been commanded: and there was a sound, as I prophesied, and behold there was a rustling noise, and the bones came together, bone to its bone.

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:8 @ And I looked, and behold, there were sinews upon them, and the flesh came up, and the skin was drawn over them above; but no spirit was in them.

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:9 @ Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the spirit; prophesy, son of man, and say to the spirit, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, From the four winds come, O spirit, and breathe into these slain ones, that they may live.

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:10 @ And I prophesied as he had commanded me, and there came into them the spirit, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:11 @ Then said he unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Dried are our bones, and lost is our hope; we are quite cut off.

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:12 @ Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will open your graves, and I will cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people, and I will bring you into the land of Israel.

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:13 @ And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and when I cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people.

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:14 @ And I will put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and ye shall acknowledge that I the Lord have spoken it, and done it, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:15 @ And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:16 @ But thou, son of man, take unto thyself one stick of wood, and write upon it, "For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions;" then take another stick, and write upon it, "For Joseph,the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:"

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:17 @ And join them one to the other unto thee as one stick; and they shall become one in thy hand.

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:18 @ And if the children of thy people should say unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not tell us what thou meanest by these?

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:19 @ speak unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph,which is in the hand of Ephraim,and the tribes of Israel his companions, and will lay them upon him, even the stick of Judah, and make them into one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:20 @ And the sticks whereon thou shalt have written shall be in thy hand before their eyes.

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:21 @ And speak unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, whither they are gone, and I will gather them from every side, and bring them unto their own land;

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:22 @ And I will make them into one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be to them all for king; and they shall not be any more two nations, nor shall they at any time be divided into two kingdoms any more:

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:23 @ Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, and with their detestable things, and with all their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and I will cleanse them, and they shall be unto me for a people, and I will be to them for a God.

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:24 @ And my servant David shall be king over them; and one shepherd shall be for them all: and in my ordinances shall they walk, and my statutes shall they observe, and do them.

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:25 @ And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto my servant, unto Jacob, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their childrens children for ever: and David my servant shall be prince unto them for ever.

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:26 @ And I will make with them a covenant of peace, an everlasting covenant shall it be with them: and I will multiply them, and I will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:27 @ My dwelling also shall be with them, and I will be unto them for a God; and they shall be unto me as a people.

lesserot@Ezekiel:37:28 @ And the nations shall know that I am the Lord who sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary will be in the midst of them for evermore.

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:1 @ And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:2 @ Son of man, direct thy face against Gog of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Thubal, and prophesy against him,

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:3 @ And say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will be against thee, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Thubal;

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:4 @ And I will derange thee, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thy army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in elegant attire, a great assemblage with bucklers and shields, all of them grasping swords.

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:5 @ Persia, Cush, and Put with them; all of them with shield and helmet;

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:6 @ Gomer and all of its armies; the house of Thogarmah out of the farthest north, and all its armies; many people shall be with thee.

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:7 @ Be thou ready, and prepare thyself, thou, and all thy assemblages that are assembled about thee, and be thou a guard unto them.

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:8 @ After many days shalt thou be ordered forward; in the end of years shalt thou come into the land that is recovering from the sword, and is gathered together out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been ruined for a very long time: that are brought forth out of the nations, and that now dwell in safety, all of them.

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:9 @ Thou wilt ascend and come like a tempest, like a cloud to cover the earth wilt thou be, thou, and all thy armies, and the many people with thee.

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:10 @ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, It will also come to pass, at the same time, that things will come into thy mind, and thou wilt entertain an evil device;

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:11 @ And thou wilt say, I will go up over the land of open towns; I will come against those that are careless, that dwell in safety, all of whom dwell without walls, and have neither bars nor gates,

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:12 @ To snatch up the spoil, and to take away the prey; to turn thy hand against the ruined places now inhabited, and against the people that are gathered out of the nations, that have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the highest part of the land.

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:13 @ Sheba, and Dedan, and the traders of Tharshish, with all her young lions, will say unto thee, Art thou come to plunder the spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to carry off the prey? to bear away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to plunder a great spoil?

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:14 @ Therefore, prophesy, son of man, and say unto Gog, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, on the day when my people of Israel dwelleth in safety, shalt thou know.

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:15 @ And thou wilt come from thy place out of the farthest ends of the north, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great assemblage, and a mighty army;

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:16 @ And thou wilt come up against my people of Israel, like a cloud to cover the land; in the latter days will this be, and I will bring thee over my land, in order that the nations may know me, when I am sanctified on thee, before their eyes, O Gog.

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:17 @ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Art thou he of whom I have spoken in ancient days through means of my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days years, that I would bring thee against them?

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:18 @ And it shall come to pass at the same time, on the day of Gogs coming over the land of Israel, saith the Lord Eternal, that my fury shall be kindled in my nose.

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:19 @ And in my zealousness, in the fire of my wrath, have I spoken, Surely on that day there shall be a great earthquake in the country of Israel;

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:20 @ And there shall quake at my presence the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the cliffs shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:21 @ And I will call against him throughout all my mountains for the sword, saith the Lord Eternal: every mans sword shall be against his brother.

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:22 @ And I will hold judgment over him with pestilence and with blood; and an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and sulfur will I let rain over him and his armies, and over the many people that are with him.

lesserot@Ezekiel:38:23 @ Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself, and make myself known before the eyes of many nations: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

lesserot@Ezekiel:39:1 @ But thou, O son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will be against thee O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Thubal;
