Ezekiel:33:21 @
Now in the twelfth year after we had been taken away prisoners ,
in the tenth month ,
on the fifth day of the month ,
one who had got away in flight from Jerusalem came to me ,
saying ,
The town has been taken .
bbe @
Ezekiel:33:22 @
Now the hand of the Lord had been on me in the evening ,
before the man who had got away came to me ;
and he made my mouth open ,
ready for his coming to me in the morning ;
and my mouth was open and I was no longer without voice .
bbe @
Ezekiel:33:23 @
And the word of the Lord came to me ,
saying ,
bbe @
Ezekiel:33:24 @
Son of man ,
those who are living in these waste places in the land of Israel say ,
Abraham was but one ,
and he had land for his heritage :
but we are a great number ;
the land is given to us for our heritage .
bbe @
Ezekiel:33:25 @
For this cause say to them ,
This is what the Lord has said :
You take your meat with the blood ,
your eyes are lifted up to your images ,
and you are takers of life :
are you to have the land for your heritage ?
bbe @
Ezekiel:33:26 @
You put your faith in your swords ,
you do disgusting things ,
everyone takes his neighbour '
s wife :
are you to have the land for your heritage ?
bbe @
Ezekiel:33:27 @
This is what you are to say to them :
The Lord has said ,
By my life ,
truly ,
those who are in the waste places will be put to the sword ,
and him who is in the open field I will give to the beasts for their food ,
and those who are in the strong places and in holes in the rocks will come to their death by disease .
bbe @
Ezekiel:33:28 @
And I will make the land a waste and a cause of wonder ,
and the pride of her strength will come to an end ;
and the mountains of Israel will be made waste so that no one will go through .
bbe @
Ezekiel:33:29 @
Then they will be certain that I am the Lord ,
when I have made the land a waste and a cause of wonder ,
because of all the disgusting things which they have done ,
bbe @
Ezekiel:33:30 @
And as for you ,
son of man ,
the children of your people are talking together about you by the walls and in the doorways of the houses ,
saying to one another ,
Come now ,
give ear to the word which comes from the Lord .
bbe @
Ezekiel:33:31 @
And they come to you as my people come ,
and are seated before you as my people ,
hearing your words but doing them not :
for deceit is in their mouth and their heart goes after profit for themselves .
bbe @
Ezekiel:33:32 @
And truly you are to them like a love song by one who has a very pleasing voice and is an expert player on an instrument :
for they give ear to your words but do them not .
bbe @
Ezekiel:33:33 @
And when this comes about (
see ,
it is coming ),
then it will be clear to them that a prophet has been among them .
