*
It happened in the twelfth year of our captivity ,
in the tenth [
month ],
in the fifth [
day ]
of the month ,
that one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me ,
saying ,
The city has been struck .
*
Now the hand of Yahweh had been on me in the evening ,
before he who was escaped came ;
and he had opened my mouth ,
until he came to me in the morning ;
and my mouth was opened ,
and I was no more mute .
*
The word of Yahweh came to me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
they who inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak ,
saying ,
Abraham was one ,
and he inherited the land :
but we are many ;
the land is given us for inheritance .
*
Therefore tell them ,
Thus says the Lord Yahweh :
You eat with the blood ,
and lift up your eyes to your idols ,
and shed blood :
and shall you possess the land ?
*
You stand on your sword ,
you work abomination ,
and every one of you defiles his neighbor '
s wife :
and shall you possess the land ?
*
You shall tell them ,
Thus says the Lord Yahweh :
As I live ,
surely those who are in the waste places shall fall by the sword ;
and him who is in the open field will I give to the animals to be devoured ;
and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence .
*
I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment ;
and the pride of her power shall cease ;
and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate ,
so that none shall pass through .
*
Then shall they know that I am Yahweh ,
when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment ,
because of all their abominations which they have committed .
*
As for you ,
son of man ,
the children of your people talk of you by the walls and in the doors of the houses ,
and speak one to another ,
everyone to his brother ,
saying ,
Please come and hear what is the word that comes forth from Yahweh .
*
They come to you as the people come ,
and they sit before you as my people ,
and they hear your words ,
but don '
t do them ;
for with their mouth they show much love ,
but their heart goes after their gain .
*
Behold ,
you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice ,
and can play well on an instrument ;
for they hear your words ,
but they don '
t do them .
*
When this comes to pass , (
behold ,
it comes ),
then shall they know that a prophet has been among them .
