1 et elevavit me spiritus
et introduxit me ad portam domus Domini orientalem
quae respicit solis ortum
et ecce in introitu portae viginti quinque viri
et vidi in medio eorum Hiezoniam filium Azur
et Pheltiam filium Banaiae principes populi
2 dixitque ad me fili hominis hi viri qui cogitant
iniquitatem
et tractant consilium pessimum in urbe ista
3 dicentes
nonne dudum aedificatae sunt domus
haec est lebes nos autem carnes
4 idcirco vaticinare de eis vaticinare fili hominis
5 et inruit in me spiritus Domini et dixit ad me
loquere haec dicit Dominus
sic locuti estis domus Israhel
et cogitationes cordis vestri ego novi
6 plurimos occidistis in urbe hac
et implestis vias eius interfectis
7 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus
interfecti vestri quos posuistis in medio eius
hii sunt carnes et haec est lebes
et educam vos de medio eius
8 gladium metuistis et gladium inducam super vos ait Dominus Deus
9 et eiciam vos de medio eius
daboque vos in manu hostium et faciam in vobis iudicia
10 gladio cadetis in finibus Israhel iudicabo vos
et scietis quia ego Dominus
11 haec non erit vobis in lebetem
et vos non eritis in medio eius in carnes
in finibus Israhel iudicabo vos
12 et scietis quia ego Dominus
qui in praeceptis meis non ambulastis
et iudicia mea non fecistis
sed iuxta iudicia gentium quae in circuitu vestro sunt estis operati
13 et factum est cum prophetarem Pheltias filius Banaiae mortuus est
et cecidi in faciem meam clamans voce magna et dixi
heu heu heu Domine Deus
consummationem tu facis reliquiarum Israhel
14 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
15 fili hominis fratres tui fratres tui viri propinqui tui
et omnis domus Israhel
universi quibus dixerunt habitatores Hierusalem
longe recedite a Domino nobis data est terra in possessionem
16 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus
quia longe feci eos in gentibus et quia dispersi eos in terris
ero eis in sanctificationem modicam
in terris ad quas venerunt
17 propterea loquere haec dicit Dominus Deus
congregabo vos de populis
et adunabo de terris in quibus dispersi estis
daboque vobis humum Israhel
18 et ingredientur illuc
et auferent omnes offensiones cunctasque abominationes eius de illa
19 et dabo eis cor unum
et spiritum novum tribuam in visceribus eorum
et auferam cor lapideum de carne eorum et dabo eis cor carneum
20 ut in praeceptis meis ambulent et iudicia mea custodiant
faciantque ea et sint mihi in populum et ego sim eis in Deum
21 quorum cor post offendicula et abominationes suas ambulat
horum viamin capite suo ponam dicit Dominus Deus
22 et elevaverunt cherubin alas suas et rotae cum eis
et gloria Dei Israhel erat super ea
23 et ascendit gloria Domini de medio civitatis
stetitque super montem qui est ad orientem urbis
24 et spiritus levavit me adduxitque in Chaldeam ad transmigrationem
in visione in spiritu Dei
et sublata est a me visio quam videram
25 et locutus sum ad transmigrationem omnia verba Domini
quae ostenderat mihi
1 Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD’s house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people. 2 Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city: 3 Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh.
4 ¶ Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man. 5 And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them. 6 Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain. 7 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it. 8 Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord GOD. 9 And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you. 10 Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 11 This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel: 12 And ye shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are round about you.
13 ¶ And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
14 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 15 Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the LORD: unto us is this land given in possession. 16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come. 17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel. 18 And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence. 19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: 20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God. 21 But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.
22 ¶ Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. 23 And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
24 ¶ Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me. 25 Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shewed me.
