nkjv@Jeremiah:52:11 @ He also put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in bronze fetters, took him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

nkjv@Jeremiah:52:12 @ Now in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month (which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, who served the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Jeremiah:52:13 @ He burned the house of the LORD and the king's house; all the houses of Jerusalem, that is, all the houses of the great, he burned with fire.

nkjv@Jeremiah:52:14 @ And all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.

nkjv@Jeremiah:52:15 @ Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive some of the poor people, the rest of the people who remained in the city, the defectors who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the craftsmen.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:3 @ the word of the LORD came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the River Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was upon him there.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:4 @ Then I looked, and behold, a whirlwind was coming out of the north, a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself; and brightness was all around it and radiating out of its midst like the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:5 @ Also from within it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:6 @ Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:7 @ Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the soles of calves' feet. They sparkled like the color of burnished bronze.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:8 @ The hands of a man were under their wings on their four sides; and each of the four had faces and wings.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:9 @ Their wings touched one another. The creatures did not turn when they went, but each one went straight forward.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:10 @ As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man; each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:11 @ Thus were their faces. Their wings stretched upward; two wings of each one touched one another, and two covered their bodies.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:12 @ And each one went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit wanted to go, and they did not turn when they went.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:13 @ As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches going back and forth among the living creatures. The fire was bright, and out of the fire went lightning.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:14 @ And the living creatures ran back and forth, in appearance like a flash of lightning.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:15 @ Now as I looked at the living creatures, behold, a wheel was on the earth beside each living creature with its four faces.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:16 @ The appearance of the wheels and their workings was like the color of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. The appearance of their workings was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:17 @ When they moved, they went toward any one of four directions; they did not turn aside when they went.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:18 @ As for their rims, they were so high they were awesome; and their rims were full of eyes, all around the four of them.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:19 @ When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:20 @ Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, because there the spirit went; and the wheels were lifted together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:21 @ When those went, these went; when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:22 @ The likeness of the firmament above the heads of the living creatures was like the color of an awesome crystal, stretched out over their heads.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:23 @ And under the firmament their wings spread out straight, one toward another. Each one had two which covered one side, and each one had two which covered the other side of the body.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:24 @ When they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of many waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a tumult like the noise of an army; and when they stood still, they let down their wings.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:25 @ A voice came from above the firmament that was over their heads; whenever they stood, they let down their wings.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:26 @ And above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:27 @ Also from the appearance of His waist and upward I saw, as it were, the color of amber with the appearance of fire all around within it; and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw, as it were, the appearance of fire with brightness all around.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:28 @ Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. So when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.

nkjv@Ezekiel:2:1 @ And He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you."

nkjv@Ezekiel:2:10 @ Then He spread it before me; and there was writing on the inside and on the outside, and written on it were lamentations and mourning and woe.

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:1 @ Moreover He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel."

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:10 @ Moreover He said to me: "Son of man, receive into your heart all My words that I speak to you, and hear with your ears.

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:12 @ Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a great thunderous voice: "Blessed is the glory of the LORD from His place!"

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:13 @ I also heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, and a great thunderous noise.

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:14 @ So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me.

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:15 @ Then I came to the captives at Tel Abib, who dwelt by the River Chebar; and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:16 @ Now it came to pass at the end of seven days that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nkjv@Ezekiel:8:13 @ And He said to me, "Turn again, and you will see greater abominations that they are doing."

nkjv@Ezekiel:8:14 @ So He brought me to the door of the north gate of the LORD's house; and to my dismay, women were sitting there weeping for Tammuz.

nkjv@Ezekiel:8:15 @ Then He said to me, "Have you seen this, O son of man? Turn again, you will see greater abominations than these."

nkjv@Ezekiel:8:16 @ So He brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house; and there, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east, and they were worshiping the sun toward the east.

nkjv@Ezekiel:8:17 @ And He said to me, "Have you seen this, O son of man? Is it a trivial thing to the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they commit here?

nkjv@Ezekiel:9:11 @ Just then, the man clothed with linen, who had the inkhorn at his side, reported back and said, "I have done as You commanded me."

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:1 @ And I looked, and there in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubim, there appeared something like a sapphire stone, having the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:2 @ Then He spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said, "Go in among the wheels, under the cherub, fill your hands with coals of fire from among the cherubim, and scatter them over the city." And he went in as I watched.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:3 @ Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in, and the cloud filled the inner court.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:4 @ Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and paused over the threshold of the temple; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD's glory.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:5 @ And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like the voice of Almighty God when He speaks.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:6 @ Then it happened, when He commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, "Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim," that he went in and stood beside the wheels.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:7 @ And the cherub stretched out his hand from among the cherubim to the fire that was among the cherubim, and took some of it and put it into the hands of the man clothed with linen, who took it and went out.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:8 @ The cherubim appeared to have the form of a man's hand under their wings.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:9 @ And when I looked, there were four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub and another wheel by each other cherub; the wheels appeared to have the color of a beryl stone.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:10 @ As for their appearance, all four looked alike--as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:11 @ When they went, they went toward any of their four directions; they did not turn aside when they went, but followed in the direction the head was facing. They did not turn aside when they went.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:12 @ And their whole body, with their back, their hands, their wings, and the wheels that the four had, were full of eyes all around.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:13 @ As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, "Wheel."

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:14 @ Each one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, the second face the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:15 @ And the cherubim were lifted up. This was the living creature I saw by the River Chebar.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:16 @ When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also did not turn from beside them.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:17 @ When the cherubim stood still, the wheels stood still, and when one was lifted up, the other lifted itself up, for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:18 @ Then the glory of the LORD departed from the threshold of the temple and stood over the cherubim.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:19 @ And the cherubim lifted their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight. When they went out, the wheels were beside them; and they stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD's house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:20 @ This is the living creature I saw under the God of Israel by the River Chebar, and I knew they were cherubim.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:21 @ Each one had four faces and each one four wings, and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:22 @ And the likeness of their faces was the same as the faces which I had seen by the River Chebar, their appearance and their persons. They each went straight forward.

nkjv@Ezekiel:11:1 @ 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.

nkjv@Ezekiel:11:2 @ And He said to me: "Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and give wicked counsel in this city,

nkjv@Ezekiel:11:13 @ 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?"

nkjv@Ezekiel:11:14 @ Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nkjv@Ezekiel:11:15 @ "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.'

nkjv@Ezekiel:11:22 @ So the cherubim lifted up their wings, with the wheels beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was high above them.

nkjv@Ezekiel:11:23 @ And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city and stood on the mountain, which is on the east side of the city.

nkjv@Ezekiel:11:24 @ Then the Spirit took me up and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to those in captivity. And the vision that I had seen went up from me.

nkjv@Ezekiel:11:25 @ So I spoke to those in captivity of all the things the LORD had shown me.

nkjv@Ezekiel:12:1 @ Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying:

nkjv@Ezekiel:12:2 @ "Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, which has eyes to see but does not see, and ears to hear but does not hear; for they are a rebellious house.

nkjv@Ezekiel:12:3 @ "Therefore, son of man, prepare your belongings for captivity, and go into captivity by day in their sight. You shall go from your place into captivity to another place in their sight. It may be that they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.

nkjv@Ezekiel:12:4 @ By day you shall bring out your belongings in their sight, as though going into captivity; and at evening you shall go in their sight, like those who go into captivity.

nkjv@Ezekiel:12:6 @ In their sight you shall bear them on your shoulders and carry them out at twilight; you shall cover your face, so that you cannot see the ground, for I have made you a sign to the house of Israel."

nkjv@Ezekiel:12:7 @ So I did as I was commanded. I brought out my belongings by day, as though going into captivity, and at evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought them out at twilight, and I bore them on my shoulder in their sight.

nkjv@Daniel:8:16 @ And I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, who called, and said, "Gabriel, make this man understand the vision."

nkjv@Daniel:8:17 @ So he came near where I stood, and when he came I was afraid and fell on my face; but he said to me, "Understand, son of man, that the vision refers to the time of the end."

nkjv@Daniel:8:18 @ Now, as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep with my face to the ground; but he touched me, and stood me upright.

nkjv@Daniel:8:19 @ And he said, "Look, I am making known to you what shall happen in the latter time of the indignation; for at the appointed time the end shall be.

nkjv@Daniel:9:11 @ Yes, all Israel has transgressed Your law, and has departed so as not to obey Your voice; therefore the curse and the oath written in the Law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against Him.

nkjv@Daniel:9:12 @ And He has confirmed His words, which He spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us a great disaster; for under the whole heaven such has never been done as what has been done to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Daniel:9:13 @ "As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us; yet we have not made our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities and understand Your truth.

nkjv@Daniel:9:14 @ Therefore the LORD has kept the disaster in mind, and brought it upon us; for the LORD our God is righteous in all the works which He does, though we have not obeyed His voice.

nkjv@Daniel:9:15 @ And now, O Lord our God, who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and made Yourself a name, as it is this day--we have sinned, we have done wickedly!

nkjv@Daniel:9:16 @ "O Lord, according to all Your righteousness, I pray, let Your anger and Your fury be turned away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people are a reproach to all those around us.

nkjv@Daniel:9:17 @ Now therefore, our God, hear the prayer of Your servant, and his supplications, and for the Lord's sake cause Your face to shine on Your sanctuary, which is desolate.

nkjv@Daniel:9:18 @ O my God, incline Your ear and hear; open Your eyes and see our desolations, and the city which is called by Your name; for we do not present our supplications before You because of our righteous deeds, but because of Your great mercies.

nkjv@Daniel:9:19 @ O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and act! Do not delay for Your own sake, my God, for Your city and Your people are called by Your name."

nkjv@Daniel:9:21 @ yes, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, reached me about the time of the evening offering.

nkjv@Daniel:10:1 @ In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar. The message was true, but the appointed time was long; and he understood the message, and had understanding of the vision.

nkjv@Daniel:10:2 @ In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks.

nkjv@Daniel:10:3 @ I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.

nkjv@Daniel:10:4 @ Now on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, that is, the Tigris,

nkjv@Daniel:10:5 @ I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man clothed in linen, whose waist was girded with gold of Uphaz!

nkjv@Daniel:10:6 @ His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like torches of fire, his arms and feet like burnished bronze in color, and the sound of his words like the voice of a multitude.

nkjv@Daniel:10:7 @ And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision; but a great terror fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.

nkjv@Daniel:10:8 @ Therefore I was left alone when I saw this great vision, and no strength remained in me; for my vigor was turned to frailty in me, and I retained no strength.

nkjv@Daniel:10:9 @ Yet I heard the sound of his words; and while I heard the sound of his words I was in a deep sleep on my face, with my face to the ground.

nkjv@Daniel:10:10 @ Suddenly, a hand touched me, which made me tremble on my knees and on the palms of my hands.

nkjv@Daniel:10:11 @ And he said to me, "O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you." While he was speaking this word to me, I stood trembling.

nkjv@Daniel:10:12 @ Then he said to me, "Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words.

nkjv@Daniel:10:14 @ Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision refers to many days yet to come."

nkjv@Daniel:10:15 @ When he had spoken such words to me, I turned my face toward the ground and became speechless.

nkjv@Daniel:10:16 @ And suddenly, one having the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke, saying to him who stood before me, "My lord, because of the vision my sorrows have overwhelmed me, and I have retained no strength.

nkjv@Daniel:10:17 @ For how can this servant of my lord talk with you, my lord? As for me, no strength remains in me now, nor is any breath left in me."

nkjv@Daniel:10:18 @ Then again, the one having the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me.

nkjv@Daniel:10:19 @ And he said, "O man greatly beloved, fear not! Peace be to you; be strong, yes, be strong!" So when he spoke to me I was strengthened, and said, "Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me."

nkjv@Daniel:10:20 @ Then he said, "Do you know why I have come to you? And now I must return to fight with the prince of Persia; and when I have gone forth, indeed the prince of Greece will come.

nkjv@Daniel:11:1 @ "Also in the first year of Darius the Mede, I, even I, stood up to confirm and strengthen him.)

nkjv@Daniel:11:2 @ And now I will tell you the truth: Behold, three more kings will arise in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer than them all; by his strength, through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.

nkjv@Daniel:11:3 @ Then a mighty king shall arise, who shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.

nkjv@Daniel:11:4 @ And when he has arisen, his kingdom shall be broken up and divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not among his posterity nor according to his dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be uprooted, even for others besides these.

nkjv@Daniel:11:12 @ When he has taken away the multitude, his heart will be lifted up; and he will cast down tens of thousands, but he will not prevail.

nkjv@Daniel:11:13 @ For the king of the North will return and muster a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come at the end of some years with a great army and much equipment.
