1086 Prophecy of Ezechiel
victim which I shall slay for you.
20 And you shall be filled at my table with
horses, and mighty horsemen, and all the men of
war, saith the Lord God.
21 And I will set my glory among the nations:
and all nations shall see my judgment that I have
executed, and my hand that I have laid upon
them.
22 And the house of Israel shall know that I
am the Lord their God from that day and for-
ward.
23 And the nations shall know that the house
of Israel were made captives for their iniquity,
because they forsook me, and I hid my face from
them: and I delivered them into the hands of
their enemies, and they fell all by the sword.
24 I have dealt with them according to their
uncleanness, and wickedness, and hid my face
from them.
25 Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: Now
will I bring back the captivity of Jacob, and will
have mercy on all the house of Israel and I will
be jealous for my holy name.
26 And they shall bear their confusion, and
all the transgressions wherewith they have trans-
gressed against me, when they shall dwell in their
land securely fearing no man:
27 And I shall have brought them back from
among the nations, and shall have gathered them
together out of the lands of their enemies, and
shall be sanctified in them, in the sight of many
nations.
28 And they shall know that I am the Lord
their God, because I caused them to be carried
away among the nations; and I have gathered
them together unto their own land, and have not
left any of them there.
29 And I will hide my face no more from them,
for I have poured out my spirit upon all the house
of Israel, saith the Lord God.
Chapter 40
In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in
the beginning of the year, the tenth day of the
month, the fourteenth year after the city was
destroyed: in the selfsame day the hand of the
Lord was upon me, and he brought me thither.
2 In the visions of God he brought me into
the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high
mountain: upon which there was as the building
of a city, bending towards the south.
3 And he brought me in thither, and behold a
man, whose appearance was like the appearance
of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a
measuring reed in his hand, and he stood in the
gate.
4 And this man said to me: Son of man, see
with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, and set
thy heart upon all that I shall shew thee: for
thou art brought hither that they may be shewn
to thee: declare all that thou seest, to the house
of Israel.
5 And behold there was a wall on the out-
side of the house round about, and in the man’s
hand a measuring reed of six cubits and a hand-
breadth: and he measured the breadth of the
building one reed, and the height one reed.
6 And he came to the gate that looked toward
the east, and he went up the steps thereof: and
he measured the breadth of the threshold of the
gate one reed, that is, one threshold was one reed
broad;
7 And every little chamber was one reed long,
and one reed broad: and between the little cham-
bers were five cubits:
8 And the threshold of the gate by the porch
of the gate within, was one reed.
9 And he measured the porch of the gate eight
cubits, and the front thereof two cubits: and the
porch of the gate was inward.
