EZEK 11:1 Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of Yahweh's house, which looks eastward: and see, at the door of the gate twenty-five men; and I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
EZEK 11:2 He said to me, Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;
EZEK 11:3 who say, [The time] is not near to build houses: this [city] is the caldron, and we are the flesh.
EZEK 11:4 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man.
EZEK 11:5 The Spirit of Yahweh fell on me, and he said to me, Speak, Thus says Yahweh: Thus have you said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
EZEK 11:6 You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.
EZEK 11:7 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Your slain whom you have laid in its midst, they are the flesh, and this [city] is the caldron; but you shall be brought forth out of its midst.
EZEK 11:8 You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you, says the Lord Yahweh.
EZEK 11:9 I will bring you forth out of its midst, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
EZEK 11:10 You shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
EZEK 11:11 This [city] shall not be your caldron, neither shall you be the flesh in its midst; I will judge you in the border of Israel;
EZEK 11:12 and you shall know that I am Yahweh: for you have not walked in my statutes, neither have you executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you.
EZEK 11:13 It happened, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord Yahweh! will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
EZEK 11:14 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
EZEK 11:15 Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, [are they] to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from Yahweh; to us is this land given for a possession.
EZEK 11:16 Therefore say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they are come.
EZEK 11:17 Therefore say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
EZEK 11:18 They shall come there, and they shall take away all the detestable things of it and all its abominations from there.
EZEK 11:19 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 a heart of flesh;
EZEK 11:20 that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
EZEK 11:21 But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads, says the Lord Yahweh.
EZEK 11:22 Then did the cherubim lift up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
EZEK 11:23 The glory of Yahweh went up from the midst of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
EZEK 11:24 The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
EZEK 11:25 Then I spoke to them of the captivity all the things that Yahweh had shown me.
