(Eze 11:1) Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the Lord's house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
(Eze 11:2) Then said he unto me, Son of man, these {are} the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:
(Eze 11:3) Which say, {It is} not near; let us build houses: this {city is} the caldron, and we {be} the flesh.
(Eze 11:4) Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.
(Eze 11:5) And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the Lord; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, {every one of} them.
(Eze 11:6) Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
(Eze 11:7) Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they {are} the flesh, and this {city is} the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it.
(Eze 11:8) Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord God.
(Eze 11:9) And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
(Eze 11:10) Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I {am} the Lord.
(Eze 11:11) This {city} shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; {but} I will judge you in the border of Israel:
(Eze 11:12) And ye shall know that I {am} the Lord: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that {are} round about you.
(Eze 11:13) And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord God! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
(Eze 11:14) Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
(Eze 11:15) Son of man, thy brethren, {even} thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, {are} they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the Lord: unto us is this land given in possession.
(Eze 11:16) Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.
(Eze 11:17) Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
(Eze 11:18) And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
(Eze 11:19) And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
(Eze 11:20) That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
(Eze 11:21) But {as for them} whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord God.
(Eze 11:22) Then did the Cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel {was} over them above.
(Eze 11:23) And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which {is} on the east side of the city.
(Eze 11:24) Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
(Eze 11:25) Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the Lord had shewed me.
