Ezekiel:12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The word of the LORD also came unto me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house ,
which have eyes to see ,
and see not ;
they have ears to hear ,
and hear not :
for they are a rebellious house .
*
Therefore ,
thou son of man ,
prepare thee stuff for removing ,
and remove by day in their sight ;
and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight :
it may be they will consider ,
though they be a rebellious house .
*
Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight ,
as stuff for removing :
and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight ,
as they that go forth into captivity .
*
Dig thou through the wall in their sight ,
and carry out thereby .
*
In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders ,
and carry it forth in the twilight :
thou shalt cover thy face ,
that thou see not the ground :
for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
And I did so as I was commanded :
I brought forth my stuff by day ,
as stuff for captivity ,
and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand ;
I brought it forth in the twilight ,
and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight .
*
And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
hath not the house of Israel Yisra #
el #,
the rebellious house ,
said unto thee ,
What doest thou ?
*
Say thou unto them ,
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem ,
and all the house of Israel that are among them .
*
Say ,
I am your sign :
like as I have done ,
so shall it be done unto them :
they shall remove and go into captivity .
*
And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight ,
and shall go forth :
they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby :
he shall cover his face ,
that he see not the ground with his eyes .
*
My net also will I spread upon him ,
and he shall be taken in my snare :
and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans ;
yet shall he not see it ,
though he shall die there .
*
And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him ,
and all his bands ;
and I will draw out the sword after them .
*
And they shall know that I am the LORD ,
when I shall scatter them among the nations ,
and disperse them in the countries .
*
But I will leave a few men of them from the sword ,
from the famine ra #
ab #,
and from the pestilence ;
that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come ;
and they shall know that I am the LORD .
*
Moreover the word of the LORD came to me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
eat thy bread with quaking ra #
ash #,
and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness d @#
agah #;
*
And say unto the people of the land ,
Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem ,
and of the land of Israel Yisra #
el #;
They shall eat their bread with carefulness d @#
agah #,
and drink their water with astonishment ,
that her land may be desolate from all that is therein ,
because of the violence of all them that dwell therein .
*
And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste ,
and the land shall be desolate ;
and ye shall know that I am the LORD .
*
And the word of the LORD came unto me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel Yisra #
el #,
saying ,
The days are prolonged ,
and every vision faileth ?
*
Tell them therefore ,
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
I will make this proverb to cease ,
and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel Yisra #
el #;
but say unto them ,
The days are at hand ,
and the effect of every vision .
*
For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
For I am the LORD :
I will speak ,
and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass ;
it shall be no more prolonged :
for in your days ,
O rebellious house ,
will I say the word ,
and will perform it ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
Again the word of the LORD came to me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
behold ,
they of the house of Israel say ,
The vision that he seeth is for many days to come ,
and he prophesieth of the times that are far off .
*
Therefore say unto them ,
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
There shall none of my words be prolonged any more ,
but the word which I have spoken shall be done ,
saith the Lord GOD .
