Now it came to pass in the thirtiethH7970 yearH8141, in the fourthH7243 month, in the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, as I was amongH8432 the captivesH1473 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529, that the heavensH8064 were openedH6605, and I sawH7200 visionsH4759 of GodH430. {captives: Heb. captivity}
In the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, which was the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of kingH4428 Jehoiachin'sH3112 captivityH1546,
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came expressly unto EzekielH3168 the priestH3548, the sonH1121 of BuziH941, in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778 by the riverH5104 ChebarH3529; and the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was there upon him. {Ezekiel: Heb. Jehezkel}
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came expressly unto EzekielH3168 the priestH3548, the sonH1121 of BuziH941, in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778 by the riverH5104 ChebarH3529; and the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was there upon him. {Ezekiel: Heb. Jehezkel}
In the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, which was the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of kingH4428 Jehoiachin'sH3112 captivityH1546,
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came expressly unto EzekielH3168 the priestH3548, the sonH1121 of BuziH941, in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778 by the riverH5104 ChebarH3529; and the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was there upon him. {Ezekiel: Heb. Jehezkel}
SonH1121 of manH120, behold, I take awayH3947 from thee the desireH4261 of thine eyesH5869 with a strokeH4046: yet neither shalt thou mournH5594 nor weepH1058, neither shall thy tearsH1832 run downH935. {run down: Heb. go}
ForbearH1826 to cryH602, makeH6213 no mourningH60 for the deadH4191, bindH2280 the tire of thine headH6287 upon thee, and put onH7760 thy shoesH5275 upon thy feetH7272, and coverH5844 not thy lipsH8222, and eatH398 not the breadH3899 of menH582. {Forbear: Heb. Be silent} {lips: Heb. upper lip}
So I spakeH1696 unto the peopleH5971 in the morningH1242: and at evenH6153 my wifeH802 diedH4191; and I didH6213 in the morningH1242 as I was commandedH6680.
And it came to pass in the sixthH8345 yearH8141, in the sixthH8345 month, in the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, as I satH3427 in mine houseH1004, and the eldersH2205 of JudahH3063 satH3427 beforeH6440 me, that the handH3027 of the LordH136 GODH3069 fellH5307 there upon me.
In the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, which was the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of kingH4428 Jehoiachin'sH3112 captivityH1546,
And it came to pass in the sevenH7651 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141, in the firstH7223 month, in the firstH259 day of the monthH2320, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
And his servantsH5650 carried him in a chariotH7392 deadH4191 from MegiddoH4023, and broughtH935 him to JerusalemH3389, and buriedH6912 him in his own sepulchreH6900. And the peopleH5971 of the landH776 tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, and anointedH4886 him, and made him kingH4427 in his father'sH1 stead.
JehoahazH3059 was twentyH6242 and threeH7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 threeH7969 monthsH2320 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was HamutalH2537, the daughterH1323 of JeremiahH3414 of LibnahH3841.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that his fathersH1 had doneH6213.
And PharaohnechohH6549 put him in bandsH631 at RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574, that he might not reignH4427 in JerusalemH3389; and putH5414 the landH776 to a tributeH6066 of an hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, and a talentH3603 of goldH2091. {that…: or, because he reigned} {put the…: Heb. set a fine upon the land}
And PharaohnechohH6549 made EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4427 in the room of JosiahH2977 his fatherH1, and turnedH5437 his nameH8034 to JehoiakimH3079, and tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 awayH3947: and he cameH935 to EgyptH4714, and diedH4191 there.
Then the peopleH5971 of the landH776 tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, and made him kingH4427 in his father'sH1 stead in JerusalemH3389.
JehoahazH3099 was twentyH6242 and threeH7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 threeH7969 monthsH2320 in JerusalemH3389.
And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 put him downH5493 at JerusalemH3389, and condemnedH6064 the landH776 in an hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 and a talentH3603 of goldH2091. {put…: Heb. removed him}
And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 made EliakimH471 his brotherH251 kingH4427 over JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and turnedH5437 his nameH8034 to JehoiakimH3079. And NechoH5224 tookH3947 JehoahazH3099 his brotherH251, and carriedH935 him to EgyptH4714.
And PharaohnechohH6549 made EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4427 in the room of JosiahH2977 his fatherH1, and turnedH5437 his nameH8034 to JehoiakimH3079, and tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 awayH3947: and he cameH935 to EgyptH4714, and diedH4191 there.
And JehoiakimH3079 gaveH5414 the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 to PharaohH6547; but he taxedH6186 the landH776 to giveH5414 the moneyH3701 according to the commandmentH6310 of PharaohH6547: he exactedH5065 the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776, of every oneH376 according to his taxationH6187, to giveH5414 it unto PharaohnechohH6549.
JehoiakimH3079 was twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 elevenH259+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was ZebudahH2080, the daughterH1323 of PedaiahH6305 of RumahH7316.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that his fathersH1 had doneH6213.
In his daysH3117 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 came upH5927, and JehoiakimH3079 became his servantH5650 threeH7969 yearsH8141: then he turnedH7725 and rebelledH4775 against him.
And the LORDH3068 sentH7971 against him bandsH1416 of the ChaldeesH3778, and bandsH1416 of the SyriansH758, and bandsH1416 of the MoabitesH4124, and bandsH1416 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and sentH7971 them against JudahH3063 to destroyH6 it, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696 byH3027 his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
Surely at the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068 came this upon JudahH3063, to removeH5493 them out of his sightH6440, for the sinsH2403 of ManassehH4519, according to all that he didH6213;
And also for the innocentH5355 bloodH1818 that he shedH8210: for he filledH4390 JerusalemH3389 with innocentH5355 bloodH1818; which the LORDH3068 wouldH14 not pardonH5545.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoiakimH3079, and all that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
So JehoiakimH3079 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1: and JehoiachinH3078 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 made EliakimH471 his brotherH251 kingH4427 over JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and turnedH5437 his nameH8034 to JehoiakimH3079. And NechoH5224 tookH3947 JehoahazH3099 his brotherH251, and carriedH935 him to EgyptH4714.
JehoiakimH3079 was twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 elevenH259+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389: and he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430.
Against him came upH5927 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and boundH631 him in fettersH5178, to carryH3212 him to BabylonH894. {fetters: or, chains}
NebuchadnezzarH5019 also carriedH935 of the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 to BabylonH894, and putH5414 them in his templeH1964 at BabylonH894.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoiakimH3079, and his abominationsH8441 which he didH6213, and that which was foundH4672 in him, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063: and JehoiachinH3078 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {Jehoiachin: or, Jeconiah, I.Chro.3.16. or, Coniah ier.22.24.}
And it came to pass in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that this wordH1697 came unto JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, sayingH559,
TakeH3947 thee a rollH4039 of a bookH5612, and writeH3789 therein all the wordsH1697 that I have spokenH1696 unto thee against IsraelH3478, and against JudahH3063, and against all the nationsH1471, from the dayH3117 I spakeH1696 unto thee, from the daysH3117 of JosiahH2977, even unto this dayH3117.
It may be that the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 will hearH8085 all the evilH7451 which I purposeH2803 to doH6213 unto them; that they may returnH7725 every manH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870; that I may forgiveH5545 their iniquityH5771 and their sinH2403.
Then JeremiahH3414 calledH7121 BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374: and BaruchH1263 wroteH3789 from the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414 all the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he had spokenH1696 unto him, upon a rollH4039 of a bookH5612.
And JeremiahH3414 commandedH6680 BaruchH1263, sayingH559, I am shut upH6113; I cannotH3201 goH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068:
Therefore goH935 thou, and readH7121 in the rollH4039, which thou hast writtenH3789 from my mouthH6310, the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971 in the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004 upon the fastingH6685 dayH3117: and also thou shalt readH7121 them in the earsH241 of all JudahH3063 that come outH935 of their citiesH5892.
It may be they will presentH5307 their supplicationH8467 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and will returnH7725 every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870: for greatH1419 is the angerH639 and the furyH2534 that the LORDH3068 hath pronouncedH1696 against this peopleH5971. {they…: Heb. their supplication shall fail}
And BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374 didH6213 according to all that JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 commandedH6680 him, readingH7121 in the bookH5612 the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068 in the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004.
And it came to pass in the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the ninthH8671 monthH2320, that they proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 to all the peopleH5971 in JerusalemH3389, and to all the peopleH5971 that cameH935 from the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 unto JerusalemH3389.
Then readH7121 BaruchH1263 in the bookH5612 the wordsH1697 of JeremiahH3414 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, in the chamberH3957 of GemariahH1587 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, in the higherH5945 courtH2691, at the entryH6607 of the newH2319 gateH8179 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, in the earsH241 of all the peopleH5971. {entry: or, door}
When MichaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of GemariahH1587, the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, had heardH8085 out of the bookH5612 all the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068,
Then he went downH3381 into the king'sH4428 houseH1004, into the scribe'sH5608 chamberH3957: and, lo, all the princesH8269 satH3427 there, even ElishamaH476 the scribeH5608, and DelaiahH1806 the sonH1121 of ShemaiahH8098, and ElnathanH494 the sonH1121 of AchborH5907, and GemariahH1587 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, and ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of HananiahH2608, and all the princesH8269.
Then MichaiahH4321 declaredH5046 unto them all the wordsH1697 that he had heardH8085, when BaruchH1263 readH7121 the bookH5612 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971.
Therefore all the princesH8269 sentH7971 JehudiH3065 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, the sonH1121 of ShelemiahH8018, the sonH1121 of CushiH3570, unto BaruchH1263, sayingH559, TakeH3947 in thine handH3027 the rollH4039 wherein thou hast readH7121 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971, and comeH3212. So BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374 tookH3947 the rollH4039 in his handH3027, and cameH935 unto them.
And they saidH559 unto him, Sit downH3427 now, and readH7121 it in our earsH241. So BaruchH1263 readH7121 it in their earsH241.
Now it came to pass, when they had heardH8085 all the wordsH1697, they were afraidH6342 bothH413 oneH376 and otherH7453, and saidH559 unto BaruchH1263, We will surelyH5046 tellH5046 the kingH4428 of all these wordsH1697.
And they askedH7592 BaruchH1263, sayingH559, TellH5046 us now, How didst thou writeH3789 all these wordsH1697 at his mouthH6310?
Then BaruchH1263 answeredH559 them, He pronouncedH7121 all these wordsH1697 unto me with his mouthH6310, and I wroteH3789 them with inkH1773 in the bookH5612.
Then saidH559 the princesH8269 unto BaruchH1263, GoH3212, hideH5641 thee, thou and JeremiahH3414; and let no manH376 knowH3045 whereH375 ye be.
And they went inH935 to the kingH4428 into the courtH2691, but they laid upH6485 the rollH4039 in the chamberH3957 of ElishamaH476 the scribeH5608, and toldH5046 all the wordsH1697 in the earsH241 of the kingH4428.
So the kingH4428 sentH7971 JehudiH3065 to fetchH3947 the rollH4039: and he tookH3947 it out of ElishamaH476 the scribe'sH5608 chamberH3957. And JehudiH3065 readH7121 it in the earsH241 of the kingH4428, and in the earsH241 of all the princesH8269 which stoodH5975 besideH5921 the kingH4428.
Now the kingH4428 satH3427 in the winterhouseH1004+H2779 in the ninthH8671 monthH2320: and there was a fire on the hearthH254 burningH1197 beforeH6440 him.
And it came to pass, that when JehudiH3065 had readH7121 threeH7969 or fourH702 leavesH1817, he cutH7167 it with the penknifeH8593+H5608, and castH7993 it into the fireH784 that was on the hearthH254, until all the rollH4039 was consumedH8552 in the fireH784 that was on the hearthH254.
Yet they were not afraidH6342, nor rentH7167 their garmentsH899, neither the kingH4428, nor any of his servantsH5650 that heardH8085 all these wordsH1697.
Nevertheless ElnathanH494 and DelaiahH1806 and GemariahH1587 had made intercessionH6293 to the kingH4428 that he would not burnH8313 the rollH4039: but he would not hearH8085 them.
But the kingH4428 commandedH6680 JerahmeelH3396 the sonH1121 of HammelechH4429, and SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of AzrielH5837, and ShelemiahH8018 the sonH1121 of AbdeelH5655, to takeH3947 BaruchH1263 the scribeH5608 and JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030: but the LORDH3068 hidH5641 them. {of Hammelech: or, of the king}
Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to JeremiahH3414, afterH310 that the kingH4428 had burnedH8313 the rollH4039, and the wordsH1697 which BaruchH1263 wroteH3789 at the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
TakeH3947 thee againH7725 anotherH312 rollH4039, and writeH3789 in it all the formerH7223 wordsH1697 that were in the firstH7223 rollH4039, which JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 hath burnedH8313.
And thou shalt sayH559 to JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Thou hast burnedH8313 this rollH4039, sayingH559, Why hast thou writtenH3789 therein, sayingH559, The kingH4428 of BabylonH894 shall certainlyH935 comeH935 and destroyH7843 this landH776, and shall cause to ceaseH7673 from thence manH120 and beastH929?
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; He shall have none to sitH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732: and his dead bodyH5038 shall be cast outH7993 in the dayH3117 to the heatH2721, and in the nightH3915 to the frostH7140.
And I will punishH6485 him and his seedH2233 and his servantsH5650 for their iniquityH5771; and I will bringH935 upon them, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and upon the menH376 of JudahH3063, all the evilH7451 that I have pronouncedH1696 against them; but they hearkenedH8085 not. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
In the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 cameH935 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 unto JerusalemH3389, and besiegedH6696 it.
And the LordH136 gaveH5414 JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 into his handH3027, with partH7117 of the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430: which he carriedH935 into the landH776 of ShinarH8152 to the houseH1004 of his godH430; and he broughtH935 the vesselsH3627 into the treasureH214 houseH1004 of his godH430.
JehoiakimH3079 was twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 elevenH259+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389: and he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430.
Against him came upH5927 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and boundH631 him in fettersH5178, to carryH3212 him to BabylonH894. {fetters: or, chains}
NebuchadnezzarH5019 also carriedH935 of the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 to BabylonH894, and putH5414 them in his templeH1964 at BabylonH894.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoiakimH3079, and his abominationsH8441 which he didH6213, and that which was foundH4672 in him, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063: and JehoiachinH3078 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {Jehoiachin: or, Jeconiah, I.Chro.3.16. or, Coniah ier.22.24.}
In the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 cameH935 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 unto JerusalemH3389, and besiegedH6696 it.
And the LordH136 gaveH5414 JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 into his handH3027, with partH7117 of the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430: which he carriedH935 into the landH776 of ShinarH8152 to the houseH1004 of his godH430; and he broughtH935 the vesselsH3627 into the treasureH214 houseH1004 of his godH430.
In the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 cameH935 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 unto JerusalemH3389, and besiegedH6696 it.
And the LordH136 gaveH5414 JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 into his handH3027, with partH7117 of the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430: which he carriedH935 into the landH776 of ShinarH8152 to the houseH1004 of his godH430; and he broughtH935 the vesselsH3627 into the treasureH214 houseH1004 of his godH430.
And the kingH4428 spakeH559 unto AshpenazH828 the masterH7227 of his eunuchsH5631, that he should bringH935 certain of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and of the king'sH4410 seedH2233, and of the princesH6579;
ChildrenH3206 in whom was no blemishH3971+H3971, but wellH2896 favouredH4758, and skilfulH7919 in all wisdomH2451, and cunningH3045 in knowledgeH1847, and understandingH995 scienceH4093, and such as had abilityH3581 in them to standH5975 in the king'sH4428 palaceH1964, and whom they might teachH3925 the learningH5612 and the tongueH3956 of the ChaldeansH3778.
And the kingH4428 appointedH4487 them a dailyH3117+H3117 provisionH1697 of the king'sH4428 meatH6598, and of the wineH3196 which he drankH4960: so nourishingH1431 them threeH7969 yearsH8141, that at the endH7117 thereof they might standH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428. {the wine…: Heb. the wine of his drink}
Now among these were of the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063, DanielH1840, HananiahH2608, MishaelH4332, and AzariahH5838:
Then saidH559 IsaiahH3470 to HezekiahH2396, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635:
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, that all that is in thine houseH1004, and that which thy fathersH1 have laid up in storeH686 until this dayH3117, shall be carriedH5375 to BabylonH894: nothingH1697 shall be leftH3498, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
And of thy sonsH1121 that shall issueH3318 from thee, which thou shalt begetH3205, shall they take awayH3947; and they shall be eunuchsH5631 in the palaceH1964 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
And IsaiahH3470 saidH559 unto HezekiahH2396, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, that all that is in thine houseH1004, and that which thy fathersH1 have laid up in storeH686 unto this dayH3117, shall be carriedH5375 into BabylonH894: nothingH1697 shall be leftH3498, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
And of thy sonsH1121 that shall issueH3318 from thee, which thou shalt begetH3205, shall they take awayH3947; and they shall be eunuchsH5631 in the palaceH1964 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
So JehoiakimH3079 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1: and JehoiachinH3078 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 cameH3318 not againH3254 any more out of his landH776: for the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had takenH3947 from the riverH5158 of EgyptH4714 unto the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578 all that pertained to the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714.
JehoiachinH3078 was eighteenH8083+H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 threeH7969 monthsH2320. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was NehushtaH5179, the daughterH1323 of ElnathanH494 of JerusalemH3389.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that his fatherH1 had doneH6213.
At that timeH6256 the servantsH5650 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 came upH5927 against JerusalemH3389, and the cityH5892 was besiegedH935+H4692. {was…: Heb. came into siege}
And NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935 against the cityH5892, and his servantsH5650 did besiegeH6696 it.
And JehoiachinH3078 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 went outH3318 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, he, and his motherH517, and his servantsH5650, and his princesH8269, and his officersH5631: and the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 tookH3947 him in the eighthH8083 yearH8141 of his reignH4427. {officers: or, eunuchs} {his reign: Nebuchadnezzar's eighth year}
And he carried outH3318 thence all the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the treasuresH214 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and cut in piecesH7112 all the vesselsH3627 of goldH2091 which SolomonH8010 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had madeH6213 in the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, as the LORDH3068 had saidH1696.
And he carried awayH1540 all JerusalemH3389, and all the princesH8269, and all the mighty menH1368 of valourH2428, even tenH6235 thousandH505 captivesH1540, and all the craftsmenH2796 and smithsH4525: none remainedH7604, saveH2108 the poorest sortH1803 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
And he carried awayH1540 JehoiachinH3078 to BabylonH894, and the king'sH4428 motherH517, and the king'sH4428 wivesH802, and his officersH5631, and the mightyH352+H193 of the landH776, those carriedH3212 he into captivityH1473 from JerusalemH3389 to BabylonH894. {officers: or, eunuchs}
And all the menH582 of mightH2428, even sevenH7651 thousandH505, and craftsmenH2796 and smithsH4525 a thousandH505, all that were strongH1368 and aptH6213 for warH4421, even them the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 broughtH935 captiveH1473 to BabylonH894.
And the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 made MattaniahH4983 his father's brotherH1730 kingH4427 in his stead, and changedH5437 his nameH8034 to ZedekiahH6667.
JehoiachinH3078 was eightH8083 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 threeH7969 monthsH2320 and tenH6235 daysH3117 in JerusalemH3389: and he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
And when the yearH8141 was expiredH8666, kingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019 sentH7971, and broughtH935 him to BabylonH894, with the goodlyH2532 vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and made ZedekiahH6667 his brotherH251 kingH4427 over JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389. {when…: Heb. at the return of the year} {goodly…: Heb. vessels of desire} {Zedekiah…: or, Mattaniah, his father's brother}
JehoiachinH3078 was eightH8083 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 threeH7969 monthsH2320 and tenH6235 daysH3117 in JerusalemH3389: and he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
And JehoiachinH3078 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 went outH3318 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, he, and his motherH517, and his servantsH5650, and his princesH8269, and his officersH5631: and the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 tookH3947 him in the eighthH8083 yearH8141 of his reignH4427. {officers: or, eunuchs} {his reign: Nebuchadnezzar's eighth year}
And he carried awayH1540 all JerusalemH3389, and all the princesH8269, and all the mighty menH1368 of valourH2428, even tenH6235 thousandH505 captivesH1540, and all the craftsmenH2796 and smithsH4525: none remainedH7604, saveH2108 the poorest sortH1803 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
And he carried awayH1540 JehoiachinH3078 to BabylonH894, and the king'sH4428 motherH517, and the king'sH4428 wivesH802, and his officersH5631, and the mightyH352+H193 of the landH776, those carriedH3212 he into captivityH1473 from JerusalemH3389 to BabylonH894. {officers: or, eunuchs}
And all the menH582 of mightH2428, even sevenH7651 thousandH505, and craftsmenH2796 and smithsH4525 a thousandH505, all that were strongH1368 and aptH6213 for warH4421, even them the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 broughtH935 captiveH1473 to BabylonH894.
Now it came to pass in the thirtiethH7970 yearH8141, in the fourthH7243 month, in the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, as I was amongH8432 the captivesH1473 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529, that the heavensH8064 were openedH6605, and I sawH7200 visionsH4759 of GodH430. {captives: Heb. captivity}
In the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, which was the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of kingH4428 Jehoiachin'sH3112 captivityH1546,
And the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 made MattaniahH4983 his father's brotherH1730 kingH4427 in his stead, and changedH5437 his nameH8034 to ZedekiahH6667.
ZedekiahH6667 was twentyH6242 and oneH259 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 elevenH259+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was HamutalH2537, the daughterH1323 of JeremiahH3414 of LibnahH3841.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that JehoiakimH3079 had doneH6213.
For through the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 it came to pass in JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, until he had cast them outH7993 from his presenceH6440, that ZedekiahH6667 rebelledH4775 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
And it came to pass in the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, that NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935, he, and all his hostH2428, against JerusalemH3389, and pitchedH2583 against it; and they builtH1129 fortsH1785 against it round aboutH5439.
And the cityH5892 was besiegedH935+H4692 unto the eleventhH6249+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667.
And on the ninthH8672 day of the fourth monthH2320 the famineH7458 prevailedH2388 in the cityH5892, and there was no breadH3899 for the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
And the cityH5892 was broken upH1234, and all the menH582 of warH4421 fled by nightH3915 by the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 between two wallsH2346, which is by the king'sH4428 gardenH1588: (now the ChaldeesH3778 were against the cityH5892 round aboutH5439:) and the king wentH3212 the wayH1870 toward the plainH6160.
And the armyH2428 of the ChaldeesH3778 pursuedH7291 afterH310 the kingH4428, and overtookH5381 him in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405: and all his armyH2428 were scatteredH6327 from him.
So they tookH8610 the kingH4428, and brought him upH5927 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247; and they gaveH1696 judgmentH4941 upon him. {gave…: Heb. spake judgment with him}
And they slewH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 before his eyesH5869, and put outH5786 the eyesH5869 of ZedekiahH6667, and boundH631 him with fettersH5178 of brassH5178, and carriedH935 him to BabylonH894. {put…: Heb. made blind}
And when the yearH8141 was expiredH8666, kingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019 sentH7971, and broughtH935 him to BabylonH894, with the goodlyH2532 vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and made ZedekiahH6667 his brotherH251 kingH4427 over JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389. {when…: Heb. at the return of the year} {goodly…: Heb. vessels of desire} {Zedekiah…: or, Mattaniah, his father's brother}
ZedekiahH6667 was oneH259 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and reignedH4427 elevenH259+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and humbledH3665 not himself beforeH6440 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 speaking from the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068.
And he also rebelledH4775 against kingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019, who had made him swearH7650 by GodH430: but he stiffenedH7185 his neckH6203, and hardenedH553 his heartH3824 from turningH7725 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
Moreover all the chiefH8269 of the priestsH3548, and the peopleH5971, transgressedH4603 veryH4604 muchH7235 after all the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471; and pollutedH2930 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 which he had hallowedH6942 in JerusalemH3389.
Now the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 that were leftH7604 in the cityH5892, and the fugitivesH5307 that fell awayH5307 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, with the remnantH3499 of the multitudeH1995, did NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carry awayH1540. {fugitives: Heb. fallen away}
In the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carried away captiveH1540 of the JewsH3064 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 fortyH705 and fiveH2568 personsH5315: all the personsH5315 were fourH702 thousandH505 and sixH8337 hundredH3967.
Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lordH113 the kingH4428 hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of his servantH5650. If the LORDH3068 have stirred thee upH5496 against me, let him acceptH7306 an offeringH4503: but if they be the childrenH1121 of menH120, cursedH779 be they beforeH6440 the LORDH3068; for they have drivenH1644 me out this dayH3117 from abidingH5596 in the inheritanceH5159 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, GoH3212, serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430. {accept: Heb. smell} {abiding: Heb. cleaving}
Now therefore, let not my bloodH1818 fallH5307 to the earthH776 before the faceH6440 of the LORDH3068: for the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 is come outH3318 to seekH1245 aH259 fleaH6550, as when one doth huntH7291 a partridgeH7124 in the mountainsH2022.
And they wentH3212 every oneH376 straightH5676 forwardH6440: whither the spiritH7307 was to goH3212, they wentH3212; and they turnedH5437 not when they wentH3212.
Whithersoever the spiritH7307 was to goH3212, they wentH3212, thither was their spiritH7307 to goH3212; and the wheelsH212 were lifted upH5375 over againstH5980 them: for the spiritH7307 of the living creatureH2416 was in the wheelsH212. {of…: or, of life}
When those wentH3212, these wentH3212; and when those stoodH5975, these stoodH5975; and when those were lifted upH5375 from the earthH776, the wheelsH212 were lifted upH5375 over againstH5980 them: for the spiritH7307 of the living creatureH2416 was in the wheelsH212. {of…: or, of life}
And the spiritH7307 enteredH935 into me when he spakeH1696 unto me, and setH5975 me upon my feetH7272, that I heardH8085 him that spakeH1696 unto me.
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.
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 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.
And he put forthH7971 the formH8403 of an handH3027, and tookH3947 me by a lockH6734 of mine headH7218; and the spiritH7307 lifted me upH5375 between the earthH776 and the heavenH8064, and broughtH935 me in the visionsH4759 of GodH430 to JerusalemH3389, to the doorH6607 of the innerH6442 gateH8179 that lookethH6437 toward the northH6828; where was the seatH4186 of the imageH5566 of jealousyH7068, which provoketh to jealousyH7069.
When they stoodH5975, these stoodH5975; and when they were lifted upH7311, these lifted upH7426 themselves also: for the spiritH7307 of the living creatureH2416 was in them. {of…: or, of life}
Moreover the spiritH7307 lifted me upH5375, and broughtH935 me unto the eastH6931 gateH8179 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, which lookethH6437 eastwardH6921: and behold at the doorH6607 of the gateH8179 fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 menH376; amongH8432 whom I sawH7200 JaazaniahH2970 the sonH1121 of AzurH5809, and PelatiahH6410 the sonH1121 of BenaiahH1141, princesH8269 of the peopleH5971.
And the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 fellH5307 upon me, and saidH559 unto me, SpeakH559; Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Thus have ye saidH559, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: for I knowH3045 the things that comeH4609 into your mindH7307, every one of them.
Afterwards the spiritH7307 took me upH5375, and broughtH935 me in a visionH4758 by the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 into ChaldeaH3778, to them of the captivityH1473. So the visionH4758 that I had seenH7200 went upH5927 from me.
And I will putH5414 my spiritH7307 withinH7130 you, and causeH6213 you to walkH3212 in my statutesH2706, and ye shall keepH8104 my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them.
The handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was upon me, and carried me outH3318 in the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068, and set me downH5117 in the midstH8432 of the valleyH1237 which was fullH4392 of bonesH6106,
And shall putH5414 my spiritH7307 in you, and ye shall liveH2421, and I shall placeH3240 you in your own landH127: then shall ye knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it, and performedH6213 it, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Neither will I hideH5641 my faceH6440 any more from them: for I have poured outH8210 my spiritH7307 upon the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
As the appearanceH4758 of the bowH7198 that is in the cloudH6051 in the dayH3117 of rainH1653, so was the appearanceH4758 of the brightnessH5051 round aboutH5439. This was the appearanceH4758 of the likenessH1823 of the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068. And when I sawH7200 it, I fellH5307 upon my faceH6440, and I heardH8085 a voiceH6963 of one that spakeH1696.
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.
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.
And, behold, the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 was there, according to the visionH4758 that I sawH7200 in the plainH1237.
And the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 was gone upH5927 from the cherubH3742, whereupon he was, to the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004. And he calledH7121 to the manH376 clothedH3847 with linenH906, which had the writer'sH5608 inkhornH7083 by his sideH4975;
Then the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 went upH7311 from the cherubH3742, and stood over the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004; and the houseH1004 was filledH4390 with the cloudH6051, and the courtH2691 was fullH4390 of the brightnessH5051 of the LORD'SH3068 gloryH3519. {went up: Heb. was lifted up}
Then the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 departedH3318 from off the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004, and stoodH5975 over the cherubimsH3742.
And the cherubimsH3742 lifted upH5375 their wingsH3671, and mounted upH7426 from the earthH776 in my sightH5869: when they went outH3318, the wheelsH212 also were besideH5980 them, and every one stoodH5975 at the doorH6607 of the eastH6931 gateH8179 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004; and the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 was over them aboveH4605.
Then did the cherubimsH3742 lift upH5375 their wingsH3671, and the wheelsH212 besideH5980 them; and the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 was over them aboveH4605.
And the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 went upH5927 from the midstH8432 of the cityH5892, and stoodH5975 upon the mountainH2022 which is on the east sideH6924 of the cityH5892.
And I will setH5414 my gloryH3519 among the heathenH1471, and all the heathenH1471 shall seeH7200 my judgmentH4941 that I have executedH6213, and my handH3027 that I have laidH7760 upon them.
And, behold, the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 from the wayH1870 of the eastH6921: and his voiceH6963 was like a noiseH6963 of manyH7227 watersH4325: and the earthH776 shinedH215 with his gloryH3519.
And the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 cameH935 into the houseH1004 by the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 whose prospectH6440 is towardH1870 the eastH6921.
So the spiritH7307 took me upH5375, and broughtH935 me into the innerH6442 courtH2691; and, behold, the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 filledH4390 the houseH1004.
Then broughtH935 he me the wayH1870 of the northH6828 gateH8179 beforeH6440 the houseH1004: and I lookedH7200, and, behold, the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 filledH4390 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: and I fellH5307 upon my faceH6440.
HeG1565 shall glorifyG1392 meG1691: forG3754 he shall receiveG2983 ofG1537 mineG1699, andG2532 shall shewG312 it unto youG5213.
ButG1161 though heG846 had doneG4160 so manyG5118 miraclesG4592 beforeG1715 themG846, yet they believedG4100 notG3756 onG1519 himG846:
ThatG2443 the sayingG3056 of EsaiasG2268 the prophetG4396 might be fulfilledG4137, whichG3739 he spakeG2036, LordG2962, whoG5101 hath believedG4100 ourG2257 reportG189? andG2532 to whomG5101 hath the armG1023 of the LordG2962 been revealedG601?
ThereforeG5124+G1223 they couldG1410 notG3756 believeG4100, becauseG3754 that EsaiasG2268 saidG2036 againG3825,
He hath blindedG5186 theirG846 eyesG3788, andG2532 hardenedG4456 theirG846 heartG2588; thatG3363 they shouldG1492 notG3363 seeG1492 with their eyesG3788, norG2532 understandG3539 with their heartG2588, andG2532 be convertedG1994, andG2532 I should healG2390 themG846.
These thingsG5023 saidG2036 EsaiasG2268, whenG3753 he sawG1492 hisG846 gloryG1391, andG2532 spakeG2980 ofG4012 himG846.
NeverthelessG3676+G3305 amongG1537 the chief rulersG758 alsoG2532 manyG4183 believedG4100 onG1519 himG846; butG235 becauseG1223 of the PhariseesG5330 they didG3670 notG3756 confessG3670 him, lestG3363 they should beG1096 put out of the synagogueG656:
AndG2532 JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto himG846, The foxesG258 haveG2192 holesG5454, andG2532 the birdsG4071 of the airG3772 have nestsG2682; butG1161 the SonG5207 of manG444 hathG2192 notG3756 whereG4226 to layG2827 his headG2776.
SayingG2036+G3754, The SonG5207 of manG444 mustG1163 sufferG3958 many thingsG4183, andG2532 be rejectedG593 ofG575 the eldersG4245 andG2532 chief priestsG749 andG2532 scribesG1122, andG2532 be slainG615, andG2532 be raisedG1453 the thirdG5154 dayG2250.
AndG2532 I lookedG1492, andG2532 beholdG2400 a whiteG3022 cloudG3507, andG2532 uponG1909 the cloudG3507 one satG2521 likeG3664 unto the SonG5207 of manG444, havingG2192 onG1909 hisG846 headG2776 a goldenG5552 crownG4735, andG2532 inG1722 hisG846 handG5495 a sharpG3691 sickleG1407.
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came again unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 against the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and prophesyH5012 against them;
And sayH559 unto the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH136 GODH3069; Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou saidstH559, AhaH1889, against my sanctuaryH4720, when it was profanedH2490; and against the landH127 of IsraelH3478, when it was desolateH8074; and against the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, when they wentH1980 into captivityH1473;
Behold, therefore I will deliverH5414 thee to the menH1121 of the eastH6924 for a possessionH4181, and they shall setH3427 their palacesH2918 in thee, and makeH5414 their dwellingsH4908 in thee: they shall eatH398 thy fruitH6529, and they shall drinkH8354 thy milkH2461. {men: Heb. children}
And I will makeH5414 RabbahH7237 a stableH5116 for camelsH1581, and the AmmonitesH1121+H5983 a couchingplaceH4769 for flocksH6629: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou hast clappedH4222 thine handsH3027, and stampedH7554 with the feetH7272, and rejoicedH8055 in heartH5315 with all thy despiteH7589 against the landH127 of IsraelH3478; {hands: Heb. hand} {feet: Heb. foot} {heart: Heb. soul}
Behold, therefore I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon thee, and will deliverH5414 thee for a spoilH957+H897 to the heathenH1471; and I will cut thee offH3772 from the peopleH5971, and I will cause thee to perishH6 out of the countriesH776: I will destroyH8045 thee; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {a spoil: or, meat}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; BecauseH3282 that MoabH4124 and SeirH8165 do sayH559, Behold, the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 is like unto all the heathenH1471;
Therefore, behold, I will openH6605 the sideH3802 of MoabH4124 from the citiesH5892, from his citiesH5892 which are on his frontiersH7097, the gloryH6643 of the countryH776, BethjeshimothH1020, BaalmeonH1186, and KiriathaimH7156, {side…: Heb. shoulder of Moab}
Unto the menH1121 of the eastH6924 with the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and will giveH5414 them in possessionH4181, that the AmmonitesH1121+H5983 may not be rememberedH2142 among the nationsH1471. {with…: or, against the children of Ammon}
And I will executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 upon MoabH4124; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because that EdomH123 hath dealtH6213 against the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 by takingH5358 vengeanceH5359, and hath greatlyH816 offendedH816, and revengedH5358 himself upon them; {by…: Heb. by revenging revengement}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will also stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon EdomH123, and will cut offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 from it; and I will makeH5414 it desolateH2723 from TemanH8487; and they of DedanH1719 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719. {they…: or, they shall fall by the sword unto Dedan}
And I will layH5414 my vengeanceH5360 upon EdomH123 by the handH3027 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: and they shall doH6213 in EdomH123 according to mine angerH639 and according to my furyH2534; and they shall knowH3045 my vengeanceH5360, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because the PhilistinesH6430 have dealtH6213 by revengeH5360, and have takenH5358 vengeanceH5359 with a despitefulH7589 heartH5315, to destroyH4889 it for the oldH5769 hatredH342; {for the…: or, with perpetual hatred}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon the PhilistinesH6430, and I will cut offH3772 the CherethimsH3774, and destroyH6 the remnantH7611 of the seaH3220 coastH2348. {sea coast: or, haven of the sea}
And I will executeH6213 greatH1419 vengeanceH5360 upon them with furiousH2534 rebukesH8433; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I shall layH5414 my vengeanceH5360 upon them. {great vengeance: Heb. great vengeances}
Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 against ZidonH6721, and prophesyH5012 against it,
And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against thee, O ZidonH6721; and I will be glorifiedH3513 in the midstH8432 of thee: and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I shall have executedH6213 judgmentsH8201 in her, and shall be sanctifiedH6942 in her.
For I will sendH7971 into her pestilenceH1698, and bloodH1818 into her streetsH2351; and the woundedH2491 shall be judgedH5307 in the midstH8432 of her by the swordH2719 upon her on every sideH5439; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
And there shall be no more a prickingH3992 brierH5544 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, nor any grievingH3510 thornH6975 of all that are round aboutH5439 them, that despisedH7590 them; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 GODH3069.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; When I shall have gatheredH6908 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 from the peopleH5971 among whom they are scatteredH6327, and shall be sanctifiedH6942 in them in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, then shall they dwellH3427 in their landH127 that I have givenH5414 to my servantH5650 JacobH3290.
And they shall dwellH3427 safelyH983 therein, and shall buildH1129 housesH1004, and plantH5193 vineyardsH3754; yea, they shall dwellH3427 with confidenceH983, when I have executedH6213 judgmentsH8201 upon all those that despiseH7590 them round aboutH5439 them; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430. {safely: or, with confidence} {despise: or, spoil}
Now it came to pass in the thirtiethH7970 yearH8141, in the fourthH7243 month, in the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, as I was amongH8432 the captivesH1473 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529, that the heavensH8064 were openedH6605, and I sawH7200 visionsH4759 of GodH430. {captives: Heb. captivity}
In the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, which was the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of kingH4428 Jehoiachin'sH3112 captivityH1546,
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came expressly unto EzekielH3168 the priestH3548, the sonH1121 of BuziH941, in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778 by the riverH5104 ChebarH3529; and the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was there upon him. {Ezekiel: Heb. Jehezkel}
And it came to pass in the sixthH8345 yearH8141, in the sixthH8345 month, in the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, as I satH3427 in mine houseH1004, and the eldersH2205 of JudahH3063 satH3427 beforeH6440 me, that the handH3027 of the LordH136 GODH3069 fellH5307 there upon me.
And it came to pass in the seventhH7637 yearH8141, in the fifthH2549 month, the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, that certainH582 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068, and satH3427 beforeH6440 me.
Again in the ninthH8671 yearH8141, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872 and unto AaronH175, sayingH559,
TakeH5375 the sumH7218 of the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955 from amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878, after their familiesH4940, by the houseH1004 of their fathersH1,
From thirtyH7970 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605 even until fiftyH2572 yearsH8141 oldH1121, all that enterH935 into the hostH6635, to doH6213 the workH4399 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
From thirtyH7970 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605 until fiftyH2572 yearsH8141 oldH1121 shalt thou numberH6485 them; all that enter inH935 to performH6633 the serviceH6635, to doH5647 the workH5656 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150. {to perform…: Heb. to war the warfare}
For a dayH3117 in thy courtsH2691 is betterH2896 than a thousandH505. I had ratherH977 be a doorkeeperH5605 in the houseH1004 of my GodH430, than to dwellH1752 in the tentsH168 of wickednessH7562. {I had…: Heb. I would choose rather to sit at the threshold}
AndG2532 JesusG2424, when he was baptizedG907, went upG305 straightwayG2117 out ofG575 the waterG5204: andG2532, loG2400, the heavensG3772 were openedG455 unto himG846, andG2532 he sawG1492 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 descendingG2597 likeG5616 a doveG4058, andG2532 lightingG2064 uponG1909 himG846:
AndG2532 saidG2036, BeholdG2400, I seeG2334 the heavensG3772 openedG455, andG2532 the SonG5207 of manG444 standingG2476 onG1537 the right handG1188 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 sawG2334 heavenG3772 openedG455, andG2532 a certainG5100 vesselG4632 descendingG2597 untoG1909 himG846, asG5613 it had been a greatG3173 sheetG3607 knitG1210 at the fourG5064 cornersG746, andG2532 let downG2524 toG1909 the earthG1093:
AfterG3326 thisG5023 I lookedG1492, andG2532, beholdG2400, a doorG2374 was openedG455 inG1722 heavenG3772: andG2532 the firstG4413 voiceG5456 whichG3739 I heardG191 was as it were ofG5613 a trumpetG4536 talkingG2980 withG3326 meG1700; which saidG3004, Come upG305 hitherG5602, andG2532 I will shewG1166 theeG4671 things whichG3739 mustG1163 beG1096 hereafterG3326+G5023.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 heavenG3772 openedG455, andG2532 beholdG2400 a whiteG3022 horseG2462; andG2532 he that satG2521 uponG1909 himG846 was calledG2564 FaithfulG4103 andG2532 TrueG228, andG2532 inG1722 righteousnessG1343 he doth judgeG2919 andG2532 make warG4170.
JehoiachinH3078 was eightH8083 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 threeH7969 monthsH2320 and tenH6235 daysH3117 in JerusalemH3389: and he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
And when the yearH8141 was expiredH8666, kingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019 sentH7971, and broughtH935 him to BabylonH894, with the goodlyH2532 vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and made ZedekiahH6667 his brotherH251 kingH4427 over JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389. {when…: Heb. at the return of the year} {goodly…: Heb. vessels of desire} {Zedekiah…: or, Mattaniah, his father's brother}
Thus EzekielH3168 is unto you a signH4159: according to all that he hath doneH6213 shall ye doH6213: and when this comethH935, ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 GODH3069.
The wordsH1697 of JeremiahH3414 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, of the priestsH3548 that were in AnathothH6068 in the landH776 of BenjaminH1144:
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}
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.
And it came to pass in the sixthH8345 yearH8141, in the sixthH8345 month, in the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, as I satH3427 in mine houseH1004, and the eldersH2205 of JudahH3063 satH3427 beforeH6440 me, that the handH3027 of the LordH136 GODH3069 fellH5307 there upon me.
Now the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was upon me in the eveningH6153, aforeH6440 he that was escapedH6412 cameH935; and had openedH6605 my mouthH6310, until he cameH935 to me in the morningH1242; and my mouthH6310 was openedH6605, and I was no more dumbH481.
The handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was upon me, and carried me outH3318 in the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068, and set me downH5117 in the midstH8432 of the valleyH1237 which was fullH4392 of bonesH6106,
In the fiveH2568 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of our captivityH1546, in the beginningH7218 of the yearH8141, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, in the fourteenthH702+H6240 yearH8141 afterH310 that the cityH5892 was smittenH5221, in the selfsameH6106 dayH3117 the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was upon me, and broughtH935 me thither.
AndG2532 nowG3568, beholdG2400, the handG5495 of the LordG2962 is uponG1909 theeG4571, andG2532 thou shalt beG2071 blindG5185, notG3361 seeingG991 the sunG2246 forG891 a seasonG2540. AndG1161 immediatelyG3916 there fellG1968 onG1909 himG846 a mistG887 andG2532 a darknessG4655; andG2532 he went aboutG4013 seekingG2212 some to lead him by the handG5497.
In the yearH8141 that kingH4428 UzziahH5818 diedH4194 I sawH7200 alsoH853 the LordH136 sittingH3427 upon a throneH3678, highH7311 and lifted upH5375, and his trainH7757 filledH4392+H853 the templeH1964. {his…: or, the skirts thereof}
AboveH4605 it stoodH5975 the seraphimsH8314: each oneH259 had sixH8337 wingsH3671; with twainH8147 he coveredH3680 his faceH6440, and with twainH8147 he coveredH3680 his feetH7272, and with twainH8147 he did flyH5774.
And one criedH7121 unto another, and saidH559, HolyH6918, holyH6918, holyH6918, is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: the whole earthH776 is fullH4393 of his gloryH3519. {one…: Heb. this cried to this} {the whole…: Heb. his glory is the fulness of the whole earth}
Then I lookedH7200, and, behold, in the firmamentH7549 that was above the headH7218 of the cherubimsH3742 there appearedH7200 over them as it were a sapphireH5601 stoneH68, as the appearanceH4758 of the likenessH1823 of a throneH3678.
And he spakeH559 unto the manH376 clothedH3847 with linenH906, and saidH559, Go inH935 betweenH996 the wheelsH1534, even under the cherubH3742, and fillH4390 thine handH2651 with coalsH1513 of fireH784 from betweenH996 the cherubimsH3742, and scatterH2236 them over the cityH5892. And he went inH935 in my sightH5869. {thine hand: Heb. the hollow of thine hand}
Now the cherubimsH3742 stoodH5975 on the right sideH3225 of the houseH1004, when the manH376 went inH935; and the cloudH6051 filledH4390 the innerH6442 courtH2691.
Then the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 went upH7311 from the cherubH3742, and stood over the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004; and the houseH1004 was filledH4390 with the cloudH6051, and the courtH2691 was fullH4390 of the brightnessH5051 of the LORD'SH3068 gloryH3519. {went up: Heb. was lifted up}
And the soundH6963 of the cherubims'H3742 wingsH3671 was heardH8085 even to the outerH2435 courtH2691, as the voiceH6963 of the AlmightyH7706 GodH410 when he speakethH1696.
And it came to pass, that when he had commandedH6680 the manH376 clothedH3847 with linenH906, sayingH559, TakeH3947 fireH784 from between the wheelsH1534, from between the cherubimsH3742; then he went inH935, and stoodH5975 besideH681 the wheelsH212.
And one cherubH3742 stretched forthH7971 his handH3027 from between the cherubimsH3742 unto the fireH784 that was between the cherubimsH3742, and tookH5375 thereof, and putH5414 it into the handsH2651 of him that was clothedH3847 with linenH906: who tookH3947 it, and went outH3318. {stretched forth: Heb. sent forth}
And there appearedH7200 in the cherubimsH3742 the formH8403 of a man'sH120 handH3027 under their wingsH3671.
And when I lookedH7200, behold the fourH702 wheelsH212 byH681 the cherubimsH3742, oneH259 wheelH212 byH681 oneH259 cherubH3742, and anotherH259 wheelH212 byH681 anotherH259 cherubH3742: and the appearanceH4758 of the wheelsH212 was as the colourH5869 of a berylH8658 stoneH68.
And as for their appearancesH4758, they fourH702 had oneH259 likenessH1823, as if a wheelH212 had been in the midstH8432 of a wheelH212.
When they wentH3212, they wentH3212 upon their fourH702 sidesH7253; they turnedH5437 not as they wentH3212, but to the placeH4725 whither the headH7218 lookedH6437 they followedH3212+H310 it; they turnedH5437 not as they wentH3212.
And their whole bodyH1320, and their backsH1354, and their handsH3027, and their wingsH3671, and the wheelsH212, were fullH4392 of eyesH5869 round aboutH5439, even the wheelsH212 that they fourH702 had. {body: Heb. flesh}
As for the wheelsH212, it was criedH7121 unto them in my hearingH241, O wheelH1534. {it was…: or, they were called in my hearing, wheel, or, galgal}
And every oneH259 had fourH702 facesH6440: the firstH259 faceH6440 was the faceH6440 of a cherubH3742, and the secondH8145 faceH6440 was the faceH6440 of a manH120, and the thirdH7992 the faceH6440 of a lionH738, and the fourthH7243 the faceH6440 of an eagleH5404.
And the cherubimsH3742 were lifted upH7426. This is the living creatureH2416 that I sawH7200 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529.
And when the cherubimsH3742 wentH3212, the wheelsH212 wentH3212 by themH681: and when the cherubimsH3742 lifted upH5375 their wingsH3671 to mount upH7311 from the earthH776, the same wheelsH212 alsoH1992 turnedH5437 not from besideH681 them.
When they stoodH5975, these stoodH5975; and when they were lifted upH7311, these lifted upH7426 themselves also: for the spiritH7307 of the living creatureH2416 was in them. {of…: or, of life}
Then the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 departedH3318 from off the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004, and stoodH5975 over the cherubimsH3742.
And the cherubimsH3742 lifted upH5375 their wingsH3671, and mounted upH7426 from the earthH776 in my sightH5869: when they went outH3318, the wheelsH212 also were besideH5980 them, and every one stoodH5975 at the doorH6607 of the eastH6931 gateH8179 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004; and the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 was over them aboveH4605.
This is the living creatureH2416 that I sawH7200 under the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529; and I knewH3045 that they were the cherubimsH3742.
Every oneH259 had fourH702 facesH6440 apieceH259, and every oneH259 fourH702 wingsH3671; and the likenessH1823 of the handsH3027 of a manH120 was under their wingsH3671.
And the likenessH1823 of their facesH6440 was the sameH1992 facesH6440 which I sawH7200 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529, their appearancesH4758 and themselves: they wentH3212 every oneH376 straightH5676 forwardH6440.
Then did the cherubimsH3742 lift upH5375 their wingsH3671, and the wheelsH212 besideH5980 them; and the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 was over them aboveH4605.
And the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 went upH5927 from the midstH8432 of the cityH5892, and stoodH5975 upon the mountainH2022 which is on the east sideH6924 of the cityH5892.
Afterwards the spiritH7307 took me upH5375, and broughtH935 me in a visionH4758 by the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 into ChaldeaH3778, to them of the captivityH1473. So the visionH4758 that I had seenH7200 went upH5927 from me.
