Ezekiel 11

1 The presumption of the princes. 4 Their sin and judgment. 13 Ezekiel's complaining, God sheweth him his purpose in saving a remnant, 21 and punishing the wicked. 22 The glory of God leaveth the city. 24 Ezekiel is returned to the captivity.

 11:1 Moreover, the Spirit 7307 lifted 5375 me up and brought 935 me to the east 6931 gate 8179 of the LORD’S 3068 house 1004 which faced 6437 eastward 6931. And behold 2009, [there were] twenty-five 6242 2568 men 376 at the entrance 6607 of the gate 8179, and among 8432 them I saw 7200 Jaazaniah 2970 son 1121 of Azzur 5809 and Pelatiah 6410 son 1121 of Benaiah 1141, leaders 8269 of the people 5971a.

 11:2 He said 559 to me, “Son 1121 of man 120, these 428 are the men 376 who devise 2803 iniquity 205 and give 3289 evil 7451b advice 6098 in this 384 city 5892b,

 11:3 who say 559, ‘[The time] is not near 7138 to build 1129 houses 1004. This 1931 [city] is the pot 5518a and we are the flesh 1320.’

 11:4 “Therefore 3651, prophesy 5012 against 5921 them, son 1121 of man 120, prophesy 5012!”

 11:5 ¶ Then the Spirit 7307 of the LORD 3068 fell 5307 upon me, and He said 559 to me, “Say 559, ‘Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, “So 3651 you think 559, house 1004 of Israel 3478, for I know 3045 your thoughts 4609a 7307.

 11:6 “You have multiplied 7235a your slain 2491a in this 384 city 5892b, filling 4390 its streets 2351 with them.”

 11:7 ‘Therefore 3651, thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, “Your slain 2491a whom 834 you have laid 7760 in the midst 8432 of the city are the flesh 1320 and this 1931 [city] is the pot 5518a; but I will bring 3318 you out of it.

 11:8 “You have feared 3372a a sword 2719; so I will bring 935 a sword 2719 upon you,” the Lord 136 GOD 3068 declares 5002.

 11:9 “And I will bring 3318 you out of the midst 8432 of the city and deliver 5414 you into the hands 3027 of strangers 2114a and execute 6213a judgments 8201 against you.

 11:10 “You will fall 5307 by the sword 2719. I will judge 8199 you to the border 1366 of Israel 3478; so you shall know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068.

 11:11 “This 1931 [city] will not be a pot 5518a for you, nor 3808 will you be flesh 1320 in the midst 8432 of it, [but] I will judge 8199 you to the border 1366 of Israel 3478.

 11:12 “Thus you will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068; for you have not walked 1980 in My statutes 2706 nor 3808 have you executed 6213a My ordinances 4941, but have acted 6213a according to the ordinances 4941 of the nations 1471 around 5439 you.”’”

 11:13 ¶ Now it came 1961 about as I prophesied 5012, that Pelatiah 6410 son 1121 of Benaiah 1141 died 4191. Then I fell 5307 on my face 6440 and cried 2199 out with a loud 1419 voice 6963 and said 559, “Alas 162, Lord 136 GOD 3068! Will You bring 6213a the remnant 7611 of Israel 3478 to a complete 3617 end 3617?”

 11:14 ¶ Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me, saying 559,

 11:15 “Son 1121 of man 120, your brothers 251, your relatives 251, your fellow 376 exiles 1546 and the whole 3605 house 1004 of Israel 3478, all 3605 of them, [are those] to whom 834 the inhabitants 3427 of Jerusalem 3389 have said 559, ‘Go 7368 far 7368 from the LORD 3068; this 1931 land 776 has been given 5414 us as a possession 4181.’

 11:16 “Therefore 3651 say 559, ‘Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, “Though 3588 I had removed 7368 them far 7368 away among the nations 1471 and though 3588 I had scattered 6327a them among the countries 776, yet I was a sanctuary 4720 for them a little 4592 while 4592 in the countries 776 where 834 8033 they had gone 935.”’

 11:17 “Therefore 3651 say 559, ‘Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, “I will gather 6908 you from the peoples 5971a and assemble 622 you out of the countries 776 among which 834 you have been scattered 6327a, and I will give 5414 you the land 127 of Israel 3478.”’

 11:18 “When they come 935 there 8033, they will remove 5493 all 3605 its detestable 8251 things 8251 and all 3605 its abominations 8441 from it.

 11:19 “And I will give 5414 them one 259 heart 3820, and put 5414 a new 2319 spirit 7307 within 7130 them. And I will take 5493 the heart 3820 of stone 68 out of their flesh 1320 and give 5414 them a heart 3820 of flesh 1320,

 11:20 that they may walk 1980 in My statutes 2708 and keep 8104 My ordinances 4941 and do 6213a them. Then they will be My people 5971a, and I shall be their God 430.

 11:21 “But as for those whose hearts 3820 go 1980 after their detestable 8251 things 8251 and abominations 8441, I will bring 5414 their conduct 1870 down 5414 on their heads 7218,” declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068.

 11:22 ¶ Then the cherubim 3742 lifted 5375 up their wings 3671 with the wheels 212 beside 5980 them, and the glory 3519b of the God 430 of Israel 3478 hovered 4480 4605 over 5921 them.

 11:23 The glory 3519b of the LORD 3068 went 5927 up from the midst 8432 of the city 5892b and stood 5975 over 5921 the mountain 2022 which 834 is east 6924a of the city 5892b.

 11:24 And the Spirit 7307 lifted 5375 me up and brought 935 me in a vision 4758 by the Spirit 7307 of God 430 to the exiles 1473 in Chaldea 3778. So the vision 4758 that I had seen 7200 left 5927 me.

 11:25 Then I told 1696 the exiles 1473 all 3605 the things 1697 that the LORD 3068 had shown 7200 me.
