Ezekiel 12
Revised Version 1895
1The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 also cameH1961 unto meH413, sayingH559, 2SonH1121 of manH120, thou dwellest in the midstH8432 of the rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, whichH834 have eyesH5869 to seeH7200, and seeH7200 notH3808, whichH834 have earsH241 to hearH8085, and hearH8085 notH3808; for they are a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004. 3Therefore, thou sonH1121 of manH120, prepareH6213 thee stuff for removing, and removeH1540 by dayH3119 in their sightH5869; and thou shalt removeH1540 from thy placeH4725 to anotherH312 placeH4725 in their sightH5869: it may be they will considerH7200, thoughH3588 they be a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004. 4And thou shalt bringH3318 forthH3318 thy stuff by dayH3119 in their sightH5869, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt goH3318 forthH3318 thyself at even in their sightH5869, as when men goH3318 forthH3318 intoH3318 exileH1473. 5DigH2864 thou throughH3318 the wallH7023 in their sightH5869, and carryH3318 outH3318 thereby. 6In their sightH5869 shalt thou bearH5375 it uponH5921 thy shoulderH3802, and carryH5375 it forthH3318 in the darkH5939; thou shalt coverH3680 thy faceH6440, that thou seeH7200 notH3808 the groundH776: for I have setH5414 thee for a signH4159 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. 7And I didH6213 soH3651 as I was commandedH6680: I broughtH3318 forthH3318 my stuff by dayH3119, as stuff for removing, and in the evenH3651 I digged throughH3027 the wallH7023 with mine handH3027; I broughtH3318 it forthH3318 in the darkH5939, and bare it uponH5921 my shoulderH3802 in their sightH5869. 8And in the morningH1242 cameH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto meH413, sayingH559, 9SonH1121 of manH120, hath notH3808 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, the rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, saidH559 unto thee, WhatH4100 doest thou? 10SayH559 thou unto them, ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136: This burdenH4853 concerneth the princeH5387 in JerusalemH3389, and allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 among whomH834 they are. 11SayH559, I am your signH4159: like as I have doneH6213, soH3651 shall it be doneH6213 unto them: they shall go into exileH1473, into captivityH7628. 12And the princeH5387 that is among them shall bearH5375 uponH413 his shoulderH3802 in the darkH5939, and shall goH3318 forthH3318: they shall digH2864 throughH8432 the wallH7023 to carryH5375 outH3318 thereby: he shall coverH3680 his faceH6440, becauseH3282 he shall notH3808 seeH7200 the groundH776 with his eyesH5869. 13My netH7568 also will I spreadH6566 uponH5921 him, and he shall be takenH8610 in my snare: and I will bringH935 him to BabylonH894 to the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778; yet shall he notH3808 seeH7200 it, though he shall dieH4191 there. 14And I will scatterH2219 toward everyH3605 windH7307 allH3605 that are roundH5439 aboutH5439 him to helpH5828 him, and allH3605 his bands; and I will draw outH3605 the swordH2719 afterH310 them. 15And they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I shall disperseH2219 them among the nationsH1471, and scatterH2219 them throughH776 the countriesH776. 16But I will leaveH3498 a fewH4557 menH376 of them from the swordH2719, from the famineH7458, and from the pestilenceH1698; that they may declareH5608 allH3605 their abominationsH8441 among the nationsH1471 whither they comeH935; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. 17MoreoverH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to meH413, sayingH559, 18SonH1121 of manH120, eatH398 thy breadH3899 with quaking, and drinkH8354 thy waterH4325 with tremblingH7494 and with carefulness; 19and sayH559 unto the peopleH5971 of the landH776, ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136 concerning the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and the landH776 of IsraelH3478: They shall eatH398 their breadH3899 with carefulness, and drinkH8354 their waterH4325 with astonishment, that herH3605 landH776 may be desolateH3456 from allH3605 that is therein, becauseH4616 of the violenceH2555 of allH3605 them that dwellH3427 therein. 20And the citiesH5892 that are inhabitedH3427 shall be laid wasteH8077, and the landH776 shall be a desolationH8077; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. 21And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto meH413, sayingH559, 22SonH1121 of manH120, whatH4100 is this proverbH4912 that ye have in the landH127 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, The daysH3117 are prolongedH748, and everyH3605 visionH2377 faileth? 23TellH559 them therefore, ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136: I will makeH3588 this proverbH4912 to ceaseH7673, and they shall noH3808 moreH5750 use it as a proverbH4912 in IsraelH3478; but sayH559 unto them, The daysH3117 are at hand, and the effectH3117 of everyH3605 visionH2377. 24For there shall be noH3808 moreH5750 anyH3605 vainH7723 visionH2377, norH3808 flatteringH2509 divinationH4738 withinH8432 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. 25For I am the LORDH3068; I will speakH1696, and the wordH1697 that I shall speakH1696 shall be performed; it shall be noH3808 moreH5750 deferredH4900: for in your daysH3117, O rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, will I speakH1696 the wordH1697, and will performH6213 it, saith the LordH3068 GODH3068. 26AgainH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to meH413, sayingH559, 27SonH1121 of manH120, beholdH2009, they of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 sayH559, The visionH2377 that he seeth is for manyH7227 daysH3117 to comeH7350, and he prophesieth of timesH6256 that are farH7350 offH7350. 28Therefore sayH559 unto them, ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136: There shall noneH3808 of my wordsH1697 be deferredH4900 anyH3605 moreH5750, but the wordH1697 whichH834 I shall speakH1696 shall be performed, saith the LordH136 GODH136.
