Moreover he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, eatH398 that thou findestH4672; eatH398 this rollH4039, and goH3212 speakH1696 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
So I openedH6605 my mouthH6310, and he caused me to eatH398 that rollH4039.
And he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, cause thy bellyH990 to eatH398, and fillH4390 thy bowelsH4578 with this rollH4039 that I giveH5414 thee. Then did I eatH398 it; and it was in my mouthH6310 as honeyH1706 for sweetnessH4966.
And he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, goH3212, getH935 thee unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and speakH1696 with my wordsH1697 unto them.
For thou art not sentH7971 to a peopleH5971 of a strangeH6012 speechH8193 and of an hardH3515 languageH3956, but to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; {of a…: Heb. deep of lip, and heavy of tongue}
Not to manyH7227 peopleH5971 of a strangeH6012 speechH8193 and of an hardH3515 languageH3956, whose wordsH1697 thou canst not understandH8085. Surely, had I sentH7971 thee to them, they would have hearkenedH8085 unto thee. {of a…: Heb. deep of lip, and heavy of language} {Surely…: or, If I had sent thee, etc. would they not have hearkened unto thee?}
But the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 willH14 not hearkenH8085 unto thee; for they willH14 not hearkenH8085 unto me: for all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are impudentH2389+H4696 and hardheartedH7186+H3820. {impudent…: Heb. stiff of forehead, and hard of heart}
Behold, I have madeH5414 thy faceH6440 strongH2389 againstH5980 their facesH6440, and thy foreheadH4696 strongH2389 againstH5980 their foreheadsH4696.
As an adamantH8068 harderH2389 than flintH6864 have I madeH5414 thy foreheadH4696: fearH3372 them not, neither be dismayedH2865 at their looksH6440, though they be a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004.
Moreover he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, all my wordsH1697 that I shall speakH1696 unto thee receiveH3947 in thine heartH3824, and hearH8085 with thine earsH241.
And goH3212, getH935 thee to them of the captivityH1473, unto the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971, and speakH1696 unto them, and tellH559 them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; whether they will hearH8085, or whether they will forbearH2308.
Then the spiritH7307 took me upH5375, and I heardH8085 behindH310 me a voiceH6963 of a greatH1419 rushingH7494, saying, BlessedH1288 be the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 from his placeH4725.
I heard also the noiseH6963 of the wingsH3671 of the living creaturesH2416 that touchedH5401 oneH802 anotherH269, and the noiseH6963 of the wheelsH212 over againstH5980 them, and a noiseH6963 of a greatH1419 rushingH7494. {touched: Heb. kissed}
So the spiritH7307 lifted me upH5375, and took me awayH3947, and I wentH3212 in bitternessH4751, in the heatH2534 of my spiritH7307; but the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was strongH2388 upon me. {in bitterness: Heb. bitter} {heat: Heb. hot anger}
Then I cameH935 to them of the captivityH1473 at TelabibH8512, that dweltH3427 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529, and I satH3427 where they satH3427, and remainedH3427 there astonishedH8074 amongH8432 them sevenH7651 daysH3117.
And it came to pass at the endH7097 of sevenH7651 daysH3117, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, I have madeH5414 thee a watchmanH6822 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: therefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 at my mouthH6310, and give them warningH2094 from me.
When I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, Thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191; and thou givest him not warningH2094, nor speakestH1696 to warnH2094 the wickedH7563 from his wickedH7563 wayH1870, to save his lifeH2421; the same wickedH7563 man shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027.
Yet if thou warnH2094 the wickedH7563, and he turnH7725 not from his wickednessH7562, nor from his wickedH7563 wayH1870, he shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.
AgainH7725, When a righteousH6662 man doth turnH7725 from his righteousnessH6664, and commitH6213 iniquityH5766, and I layH5414 a stumblingblockH4383 beforeH6440 him, he shall dieH4191: because thou hast not given him warningH2094, he shall dieH4191 in his sinH2403, and his righteousnessH6666 which he hath doneH6213 shall not be rememberedH2142; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027. {righteousness which: Heb. righteousnesses}
Nevertheless if thou warnH2094 the righteousH6662 man, that the righteousH6662 sinH2398 not, and he doth not sinH2398, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421, because he is warnedH2094; also thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.
And the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was there upon me; and he saidH559 unto me, AriseH6965, go forthH3318 into the plainH1237, and I will there talkH1696 with thee.
Then I aroseH6965, and went forthH3318 into the plainH1237: and, behold, the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 stoodH5975 there, as the gloryH3519 which I sawH7200 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529: and I fellH5307 on my faceH6440.
Then the spiritH7307 enteredH935 into me, and setH5975 me upon my feetH7272, and spakeH1696 with me, and saidH559 unto me, GoH935, shutH5462 thyself withinH8432 thine houseH1004.
But thou, O sonH1121 of manH120, behold, they shall putH5414 bandsH5688 upon thee, and shall bindH631 thee with them, and thou shalt not go outH3318 amongH8432 them:
And I will make thy tongueH3956 cleaveH1692 to the roof of thy mouthH2441, that thou shalt be dumbH481, and shalt not be to them a reproverH376+H3198: for they are a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004. {a reprover: Heb. a man reproving}
But when I speakH1696 withH854 thee, I will openH6605 thy mouthH6310, and thou shalt sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; He that hearethH8085, let him hearH8085; and he that forbearethH2310, let him forbearH2308: for they are a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004.

Yet the LORDH3068 testifiedH5749 against IsraelH3478, and against JudahH3063, byH3027 all the prophetsH5030, and by all the seersH2374, sayingH559, TurnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708, according to all the lawH8451 which I commandedH6680 your fathersH1, and which I sentH7971 to you byH3027 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
Notwithstanding they would not hearH8085, but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, like to the neckH6203 of their fathersH1, that did not believeH539 in the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
And they rejectedH3988 his statutesH2706, and his covenantH1285 that he madeH3772 with their fathersH1, and his testimoniesH5715 which he testifiedH5749 against them; and they followedH3212+H310 vanityH1892, and became vainH1891, and went afterH310 the heathenH1471 that were round aboutH5439 them, concerning whom the LORDH3068 had chargedH6680 them, that they should not doH6213 like them.
And they leftH5800 all the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and madeH6213 them molten imagesH4541, even twoH8147 calvesH5695, and madeH6213 a groveH842, and worshippedH7812 all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 BaalH1168.
And they caused their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 to passH5674 through the fireH784, and usedH7080 divinationH7081 and enchantmentsH5172, and soldH4376 themselves to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
Therefore the LORDH3068 was veryH3966 angryH599 with IsraelH3478, and removedH5493 them out of his sightH6440: there was none leftH7604 but the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 only.
Also JudahH3063 keptH8104 not the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, but walkedH3212 in the statutesH2708 of IsraelH3478 which they madeH6213.
And the LORDH3068 rejectedH3988 all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478, and afflictedH6031 them, and deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of spoilersH8154, until he had castH7993 them out of his sightH6440.
For he rentH7167 IsraelH3478 from the houseH1004 of DavidH1732; and they made JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028 kingH4427: and JeroboamH3379 draveH5080+H5077 IsraelH3478 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, and made them sinH2398 a greatH1419 sinH2401.
For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 walkedH3212 in all the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 which he didH6213; they departedH5493 not from them;
Until the LORDH3068 removedH5493 IsraelH3478 out of his sightH6440, as he had saidH1696 byH3027 all his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. So was IsraelH3478 carried awayH1540 out of their own landH127 to AssyriaH804 unto this dayH3117.
When I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, Thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191; and thou givest him not warningH2094, nor speakestH1696 to warnH2094 the wickedH7563 from his wickedH7563 wayH1870, to save his lifeH2421; the same wickedH7563 man shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027.
Nevertheless if thou warnH2094 the righteousH6662 man, that the righteousH6662 sinH2398 not, and he doth not sinH2398, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421, because he is warnedH2094; also thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1 sentH7971 to them byH3027 his messengersH4397, rising up betimesH7925, and sendingH7971; because he had compassionH2550 on his peopleH5971, and on his dwelling placeH4583: {by: Heb. by the hand of} {betimes: that is, continually and carefully}
InG1722 flamingG5395 fireG4442 takingG1325 vengeanceG1557 on them that knowG1492 notG3361 GodG2316, andG2532 that obeyG5219 notG3361 the gospelG2098 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: {taking: or, yielding}
Though these threeH7969 menH582, NoahH5146, DanielH1840, and JobH347, were in itH8432, they should deliverH5337 but their own soulsH5315 by their righteousnessH6666, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
But they mockedH3931 the messengersH4397 of GodH430, and despisedH959 his wordsH1697, and misusedH8591 his prophetsH5030, until the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 aroseH5927 against his peopleH5971, till there was no remedyH4832. {remedy: Heb. healing}
WhoG3748 shall be punishedG1349+G5099 with everlastingG166 destructionG3639 fromG575 the presenceG4383 of the LordG2962, andG2532 fromG575 the gloryG1391 of hisG846 powerG2479;
Though NoahH5146, DanielH1840, and JobH347, were in itH8432, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, they shall deliverH5337 neither sonH1121 norH518 daughterH1323; they shall but deliverH5337 their own soulsH5315 by their righteousnessH6666.
HeH376, that being often reprovedH8433 hardenethH7185 his neckH6203, shall suddenlyH6621 be destroyedH7665, and that without remedyH4832. {He…: Heb. A man of reproofs}
ForG1063 if weG2257 sinG264 wilfullyG1596 afterG3326 that we have receivedG2983 the knowledgeG1922 of the truthG225, there remainethG620 no moreG3765 sacrificeG2378 forG4012 sinsG266,
He heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and took not warningH2094; his bloodH1818 shall be upon him. But he that taketh warningH2094 shall deliverH4422 his soulH5315.
The LORDH3068 hath saidH1696 concerning you, O ye remnantH7611 of JudahH3063; GoH935 ye not into EgyptH4714: knowH3045 certainlyH3045 that I have admonishedH5749 you this dayH3117. {admonished…: Heb. testified against you}
For ye dissembledH8582 in your heartsH5315, when ye sentH7971 me unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430, sayingH559, PrayH6419 for us unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430; and according unto all that the LORDH3068 our GodH430 shall sayH559, so declareH5046 unto us, and we will doH6213 it. {ye dissembled…: or, ye have used deceit against your souls}
And now I have this dayH3117 declaredH5046 it to you; but ye have not obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, nor any thing for the which he hath sentH7971 me unto you.
Now therefore knowH3045 certainlyH3045 that ye shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698, in the placeH4725 whither ye desireH2654 to goH935 and to sojournH1481. {to go…: or, to go to sojourn}
ButG1161 a certainG5100 fearfulG5398 looking forG1561 of judgmentG2920 andG2532 fieryG4442 indignationG2205, which shallG3195 devourG2068 the adversariesG5227.
Nevertheless, if thou warnH2094 the wickedH7563 of his wayH1870 to turnH7725 from it; if he do not turnH7725 from his wayH1870, he shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.
Howbeit I sentH7971 unto you all my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, rising earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them, sayingH559, Oh, doH6213 not this abominableH8441 thingH1697 that I hateH8130.
Then I saidH559, I have labouredH3021 in vainH7385, I have spentH3615 my strengthH3581 for noughtH8414, and in vainH1892: yet surelyH403 my judgmentH4941 is with the LORDH3068, and my workH6468 with my GodH430. {my work: or, my reward}
But they hearkenedH8085 not, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241 to turnH7725 from their wickednessH7451, to burn no incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430.
And now, saithH559 the LORDH3068 that formedH3335 me from the wombH990 to be his servantH5650, to bringH7725 JacobH3290 againH7725 to him, Though IsraelH3478 be not gatheredH622, yet shall I be gloriousH3513 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, and my GodH430 shall be my strengthH5797. {Though…: or, That Israel may be gathered to him, and I may, etc}
ButG1161 intoG1519 whatsoeverG3739+G302 cityG4172 ye enterG1525, andG2532 they receiveG1209 youG5209 notG3361, go your ways outG1831 intoG1519 the streetsG4113 of the sameG846, and sayG2036,
ButG1161 when the JewsG2453 sawG1492 the multitudesG3793, they were filledG4130 with envyG2205, andG2532 spake againstG483 those things which were spokenG3004 byG5259 PaulG3972, contradictingG483 andG2532 blasphemingG987.
EvenG2532 the very dustG2868 ofG1537 yourG5216 cityG4172, whichG3588 cleavethG2853 on usG2254, we do wipe offG631 against youG5213: notwithstandingG4133 be ye sureG1097 of thisG5124, thatG3754 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is come nighG1448 untoG1909 youG5209.
ThenG1161 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921 waxed boldG3955, and saidG2036, It wasG2258 necessaryG316 that the wordG3056 of GodG2316 shouldG2980 firstG4412 have been spokenG2980 to youG5213: butG1161 seeingG1894 ye putG683 itG846 from youG683, andG2532 judgeG2919 yourselvesG1438 unworthyG3756+G514 of everlastingG166 lifeG2222, loG2400, we turnG4762 toG1519 the GentilesG1484.
AndG1161 whenG5613+G5037 SilasG4609 andG2532 TimotheusG5095 were comeG2718 fromG575 MacedoniaG3109, PaulG3972 was pressedG4912 in the spiritG4151, and testifiedG1263 to the JewsG2453 that JesusG2424 was ChristG5547. {was Christ: or, is the Christ}
WhereforeG1352 I takeG3143 youG5213 to recordG3143 thisG1722+G4594 dayG2250, thatG3754 IG1473 am pureG2513 fromG575 the bloodG129 of allG3956 men.
AndG1161 when they opposedG498 themselvesG846, andG2532 blasphemedG987, he shookG1621 his raimentG2440, and saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, YourG5216 bloodG129 be uponG1909 yourG5216 own headsG2776; IG1473 am cleanG2513: fromG575 henceforthG3568 I will goG4198 untoG1519 the GentilesG1484.
ForG3754 we areG2070 unto GodG2316 a sweet savourG2175 of ChristG5547, inG1722 them that are savedG4982, andG2532 inG1722 them that perishG622:
ToG3739 the oneG3303 we are the savourG3744 of deathG2288 untoG1519 deathG2288; andG1161 to the otherG3739 the savourG3744 of lifeG2222 untoG1519 lifeG2222. AndG2532 whoG5101 is sufficientG2425 forG4314 these thingsG5023?
ForG1063 we areG2070 notG3756 asG5613 manyG4183, which corruptG2585 the wordG3056 of GodG2316: butG235 asG5613 ofG1537 sincerityG1505, butG235 asG5613 ofG1537 GodG2316, in the sightG2714 of GodG2316 speak weG2980 inG1722 ChristG5547. {corrupt: or, deal deceitfully with} {in Christ: or, of Christ}
That noG3361 man go beyondG5233 andG2532 defraudG4122 hisG846 brotherG80 inG1722 any matterG4229: becauseG1360 that the LordG2962 is the avengerG1558 ofG4012 allG3956 suchG5130, asG2531 weG4277 alsoG2532 have forewarnedG4277 youG5213 andG2532 testifiedG1263. {defraud: or, oppress, or, overreach} {in…: or, in the matter}
ThereforeG1223+G5124 weG2248 oughtG1163 to give the more earnestG4056 heedG4337 to the things which we have heardG191, lest at any timeG3379 we should let them slipG3901. {let…: Gr. run out as leaking vessels}
ForG1063 ifG1487 the wordG3056 spokenG2980 byG1223 angelsG32 wasG1096 stedfastG949, andG2532 everyG3956 transgressionG3847 andG2532 disobedienceG3876 receivedG2983 a justG1738 recompence of rewardG3405;
HowG4459 shall weG2249 escapeG1628, if we neglectG272 so greatG5082 salvationG4991; whichG3748 at the firstG746 beganG2983 to be spokenG2980 byG1223 the LordG2962, and was confirmedG950 untoG1519 usG2248 byG5259 them that heardG191 him;
