Ezekiel:11:1-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the East Gate of the LORD '
s house ,
which faces eastward ;
and there at the door of the gate were twenty-five men ,
among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur ,
and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah ,
princes of the people .
*
And He said to me : "
Son of man ,
these are the men who devise iniquity and give wicked counsel in this city ,
*
who say , "
The time is not near to build houses ;
this city is the caldron ,
and we are the meat .'
*
Therefore prophesy against them ,
prophesy ,
O son of man !"
*
Then the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me ,
and said to me , "
Speak ! "
Thus says the LORD : "
Thus you have said ,
O house of Israel ;
for I know the things that come into your mind .
*
You have multiplied your slain in this city ,
and you have filled its streets with the slain ."
*
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD : "
Your slain whom you have laid in its midst ,
they are the meat ,
and this city is the caldron ;
but I shall bring you out of the midst of it .
*
You have feared the sword ;
and I will bring a sword upon you ,"
says the Lord GOD .
* "
And I will bring you out of its midst ,
and deliver you into the hands of strangers ,
and execute judgments on you .
*
You shall fall by the sword .
I will judge you at the border of Israel .
Then you shall know that I am the LORD .
*
This city shall not be your caldron ,
nor shall you be the meat in its midst .
I will judge you at the border of Israel .
*
And you shall know that I am the LORD ;
for you have not walked in My statutes nor executed My judgments ,
but have done according to the customs of the Gentiles which are all around you .""'
*
Now it happened ,
while I was prophesying ,
that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died .
Then I fell on my face and cried with a loud voice ,
and said , "
Ah ,
Lord GOD !
Will You make a complete end of the remnant of Israel ?"
*
Again the word of the LORD came to me ,
saying ,
* "
Son of man ,
your brethren ,
your relatives ,
your countrymen ,
and all the house of Israel in its entirety ,
are those about whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said , "
Get far away from the LORD ;
this land has been given to us as a possession .'
