Ezk Ezekiel, chapter Book of Ezekiel, chapter 11
And [the] Spirit lifts me up, and it brings me to the east gate of the house of YHWH, that is facing the east, and behold, at the opening of the gate [are] twenty-five men, and I see in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur, and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, heads of the people. And He says to me, “Son of man, these [are] the men who are devising iniquity, and who are giving evil counsel in this city; who are saying, It [is] not near—to build houses, it [is] the pot, and we [are] the flesh. Therefore prophesy concerning them, prophesy, son of man.” And [the] Spirit of YHWH falls on me, and He says to me, “Say, Thus said YHWH: Yöu have said correctly, O house of Israel, || And I have known the steps of yöur spirit. Yöu multiplied yöur wounded in this city, || And filled its out-places with the wounded. Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Yöur wounded whom yöu placed in its midst, || They [are] the flesh, and it [is] the pot, || And He has brought yöu out from its midst. Yöu have feared a sword, || And I bring in a sword against yöu, || A declaration of Lord YHWH. And I have brought yöu out of its midst, || And given yöu into the hand of strangers, || And I have done judgments among yöu. Yöu fall by the sword, || I judge yöu on the border of Israel, || And yöu have known that I [am] YHWH. It is not for a pot for yöu, || Nor are yöu for flesh in its midst, || I judge yöu at the border of Israel. And yöu have known that I [am] YHWH, || For yöu have not walked in My statutes, || And yöu have not done My judgments, || And according to the judgments of the nations || Who are around yöu, yöu have done!” And it comes to pass, at my prophesying, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah is dying, and I fall on my face, and cry—a loud voice—and say, “Aah! Lord YHWH, You are making an end of the remnant of Israel.” And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “Son of man, your brothers, your brothers, men of your family, and all the house of Israel—all of it—[are] they to whom inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Keep far off from YHWH; it [is] ours, the land has been given for an inheritance; therefore say, Thus said Lord YHWH: Because I put them far off among nations, || And because I scattered them through lands, I am also for a little sanctuary to them, || In lands to where they have gone in. Therefore say, Thus said Lord YHWH: And I have assembled yöu from the peoples, || And I have gathered yöu from the lands, || Into which yöu have been scattered, || And I have given the ground of Israel to yöu. And they have gone in there, || And turned aside all its detestable things, || And all its abominations—out of it. And I have given one heart to them, || And I give a new spirit in yöur midst, || And I have turned the heart of stone out of their flesh, || And I have given a heart of flesh to them. So that they walk in My statutes, || And keep My judgments, and have done them, || And they have been to Me for a people, || And I am to them for God. As for those whose heart is going to the heart || Of their detestable things and their abominations, || I have put their way on their head, || A declaration of Lord YHWH.” And the cherubim lift up their wings, and the wheels [are] alongside them, and the glory of the God of Israel [is] over them above. And the glory of YHWH goes up from off the midst of the city, and stands on the mountain, that [is] on the east of the city. And [the] Spirit has lifted me up, and brings me to Chaldea, to the expulsion, in a vision, by [the] Spirit of God, and the vision that I have seen goes up from off me; and I speak to the expulsion all the matters of YHWH that He has showed me.
