  Ezekiel
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Now you, son of man, take a brick for yourself and place it before you, and engrave upon it a city-Jerusalem.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  So said the Lord God: This is Jerusalem; in the midst of the nations I have placed it, and around it are lands.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Son of man, set your face southward and speak to the south and prophesy to the forest of the field in the south.
  
  
  
  
  Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem and prophesy about the sanctuaries and prophesy about the land of Israel.
  
  
  
  
  And you, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the city of bloodshed and let her know all her abominations? 
  Then you shall say; So said the Lord God: O city that sheds blood in her midst, even now, when her time is approaching, and makes idols over her to defile herself.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Therefore, so said the Lord God: Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I gather you together into the midst of Jerusalem.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  And you shall drink it and drain [it], and its shards you shall scrape, and you shall tear off your breasts, for I have spoken, so says the Lord God.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  And it became wider and it wound higher and higher to the cells, for the encompassing of the House went upward round about the House; therefore the widest part of the House was above, and so, [from] the nethermost [cell] one would ascend upon the uppermost one through the middle one.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  All around it amounts to 18,000; and the name of the city from that day will be "The Lord is There."
