New International Version

1The Spirit then lifted me up and brought me to the eastern gate of the LORD's house, which faces east, and at the gate's entrance were twenty-five men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur, and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.

1Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the house of the LORD that faces east. There at the entrance of the gate were twenty-five men, and I saw among them Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.

2The LORD said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and give wicked advice in this city.

2The LORD said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who are plotting evil and giving wicked advice in this city.

3They are saying, 'Isn't the time near to build houses? The city is the pot, and we are the meat.'

3They say, 'Haven't our houses been recently rebuilt? This city is a pot, and we are the meat in it.'

4Therefore, prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man!"

4Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, son of man."

5Then the Spirit of the LORD came on me, and he told me, "You are to say, 'This is what the LORD says: That is what you are thinking, house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your mind.

5Then the Spirit of the LORD came on me, and he told me to say: "This is what the LORD says: That is what you are saying, you leaders in Israel, but I know what is going through your mind.

6You have multiplied your slain in this city, filling its streets with them.

6You have killed many people in this city and filled its streets with the dead.

7"'Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: The slain you have put within it are the meat, and the city is the pot, but I will take you out of it.

7"Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: The bodies you have thrown there are the meat and this city is the pot, but I will drive you out of it.

8You fear the sword, so I will bring the sword against you. This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.

8You fear the sword, and the sword is what I will bring against you, declares the Sovereign LORD.

9I will take you out of the city and hand you over to foreigners; I will execute judgments against you.

9I will drive you out of the city and deliver you into the hands of foreigners and inflict punishment on you.

10You will fall by the sword, and I will judge you at the border of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

10You will fall by the sword, and I will execute judgment on you at the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

11The city will not be a pot for you, and you will not be the meat within it. I will judge you at the border of Israel,

11This city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be the meat in it; I will execute judgment on you at the borders of Israel.

12so you will know that I am the LORD, whose statutes you have not followed and whose ordinances you have not practiced. Instead, you have acted according to the ordinances of the nations around you.'"

12And you will know that I am the LORD, for you have not followed my decrees or kept my laws but have conformed to the standards of the nations around you."

13Now while I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell facedown and cried out loudly, "Oh, Lord GOD! You are bringing the remnant of Israel to an end!"

13Now as I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell facedown and cried out in a loud voice, "Alas, Sovereign LORD! Will you completely destroy the remnant of Israel?"

14The word of the LORD came to me again:

14The word of the LORD came to me:

15"Son of man, your own relatives, those who have the right to redeem your property, along with the entire house of Israel--all of them--are those to whom the residents of Jerusalem have said, 'You are far from the LORD; this land has been given to us as a possession.'

15"Son of man, the people of Jerusalem have said of your fellow exiles and all the other Israelites, 'They are far away from the LORD; this land was given to us as our possession.'

16"Therefore say, 'This is what the Lord GOD says: Though I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for a little while I have been a sanctuary for them in the countries where they have gone.'

16"Therefore say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for a little while I have been a sanctuary for them in the countries where they have gone.'

17"Therefore say, 'This is what the Lord GOD says: I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.'

17"Therefore say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will gather you from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you back the land of Israel again.'

18"When they arrive there, they will remove all its abhorrent acts and detestable practices from it.

18"They will return to it and remove all its vile images and detestable idols.

19I will give them integrity of heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove their heart of stone from their bodies and give them a heart of flesh,

19I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.

20so that they will follow my statutes, keep my ordinances, and practice them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.

20Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.

21But as for those whose hearts pursue their desire for abhorrent acts and detestable practices, I will bring their conduct down on their own heads." This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.

21But as for those whose hearts are devoted to their vile images and detestable idols, I will bring down on their own heads what they have done, declares the Sovereign LORD."

22Then the cherubim, with the wheels beside them, lifted their wings, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.

22Then the cherubim, with the wheels beside them, spread their wings, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.

23The glory of the LORD rose up from within the city and stopped on the mountain east of the city.

23The glory of the LORD went up from within the city and stopped above the mountain east of it.

24The Spirit lifted me up and brought me to Chaldea and to the exiles in a vision from the Spirit of God. After the vision I had seen left me,

24The Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the exiles in Babylonia in the vision given by the Spirit of God. Then the vision I had seen went up from me,

25I spoke to the exiles about all the things the LORD had shown me.

25and I told the exiles everything the LORD had shown me.
