1. The word of the LORD came to me:
|
1. The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 also came H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
2. "Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, who have eyes to see, but see not, who have ears to hear, but hear not;
|
2. Son H1121 of man H120 , thou H859 dwellest H3427 in the midst H8432 of a rebellious H4805 house H1004 , which H834 have eyes H5869 to see H7200 , and see H7200 not H3808 ; they have ears H241 to hear H8085 , and hear H8085 not H3808 : for H3588 they H1992 are a rebellious H4805 house H1004 .
|
|
3. for they are a rebellious house. Therefore, son of man, prepare for yourself an exile's baggage, and go into exile by day in their sight; you shall go like an exile from your place to another place in their sight. Perhaps they will understand, though they are a rebellious house.
|
3. Therefore, thou H859 son H1121 of man H120 , prepare H6213 thee stuff H3627 for removing H1473 , and remove H1540 by day H3119 in their sight H5869 ; and thou shalt remove H1540 from thy place H4480 H4725 to H413 another H312 place H4725 in their sight H5869 : it may be H194 they will consider H7200 , though H3588 they H1992 be a rebellious H4805 house H1004 .
|
|
4. You shall bring out your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for exile; and you shall go forth yourself at evening in their sight, as men do who must go into exile.
|
4. Then shalt thou bring forth H3318 thy stuff H3627 by day H3119 in their sight H5869 , as stuff H3627 for removing H1473 : and thou H859 shalt go forth H3318 at even H6153 in their sight H5869 , as they that go forth H4161 into captivity H1473 .
|
|
5. Dig through the wall in their sight, and go out through it.
|
5. Dig H2864 thou through the wall H7023 in their sight H5869 , and carry out H3318 thereby.
|
|
6. In their sight you shall lift the baggage upon your shoulder, and carry it out in the dark; you shall cover your face, that you may not see the land; for I have made you a sign for the house of Israel."
|
6. In their sight H5869 shalt thou bear H5375 it upon H5921 thy shoulders H3802 , and carry it forth H3318 in the twilight H5939 : thou shalt cover H3680 thy face H6440 , that thou see H7200 not H3808 H853 the ground H776 : for H3588 I have set H5414 thee for a sign H4159 unto the house H1004 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
7. And I did as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage by day, as baggage for exile, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my own hands; I went forth in the dark, carrying my outfit upon my shoulder in their sight.
|
7. And I did H6213 so H3651 as H834 I was commanded H6680 : I brought forth H3318 my stuff H3627 by day H3119 , as stuff H3627 for captivity H1473 , and in the even H6153 I digged H2864 through the wall H7023 with mine hand H3027 ; I brought it forth H3318 in the twilight H5939 , and I bore H5375 it upon H5921 my shoulder H3802 in their sight H5869 .
|
|
8. In the morning the word of the LORD came to me:
|
8. And in the morning H1242 came H1961 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
9. "Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, `What are you doing?'
|
9. Son H1121 of man H120 , hath not H3808 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 , the rebellious H4805 house H1004 , said H559 unto H413 thee, What H4100 doest H6213 thou H859 ?
|
|
10. Say to them, `Thus says the Lord GOD: This oracle concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are in it.'
|
10. Say H559 thou unto H413 them, Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; This H2088 burden H4853 concerneth the prince H5387 in Jerusalem H3389 , and all H3605 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 that H834 are among H8432 them.
|
|
11. Say, `I am a sign for you: as I have done, so shall it be done to them; they shall go into exile, into captivity.'
|
11. Say H559 , I H589 am your sign H4159 : like as H834 I have done H6213 , so H3651 shall it be done H6213 unto them : they shall remove H1473 and go H1980 into captivity H7628 .
|
|
12. And the prince who is among them shall lift his baggage upon his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth; he shall dig through the wall and go out through it; he shall cover his face, that he may not see the land with his eyes.
|
12. And the prince H5387 that H834 is among H8432 them shall bear H5375 upon H413 his shoulder H3802 in the twilight H5939 , and shall go forth H3318 : they shall dig H2864 through the wall H7023 to carry out H3318 thereby : he shall cover H3680 his face H6440 , that H3282 H834 he H1931 see H7200 not H3808 H853 the ground H776 with his eyes H5869 .
|
|
13. And I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my snare; and I will bring him to Babylon in the land of the Chaldeans, yet he shall not see it; and he shall die there.
|
13. H853 My net H7568 also will I spread H6566 upon H5921 him , and he shall be taken H8610 in my snare H4686 : and I will bring H935 him to Babylon H894 to the land H776 of the Chaldeans H3778 ; yet shall he not H3808 see H7200 it , though he shall die H4191 there H8033 .
|
|
14. And I will scatter toward every wind all who are round about him, his helpers and all his troops; and I will unsheathe the sword after them.
|
14. And I will scatter H2219 toward every H3605 wind H7307 all H3605 that H834 are about H5439 him to help H5828 him , and all H3605 his bands H102 ; and I will draw out H7324 the sword H2719 after H310 them.
|
|
15. And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them through the countries.
|
15. And they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 , when I shall scatter H6327 them among the nations H1471 , and disperse H2219 them in the countries H776 .
|
|
16. But I will let a few of them escape from the sword, from famine and pestilence, that they may confess all their abominations among the nations where they go, and may know that I am the LORD."
|
16. But I will leave H3498 a few H4557 men H376 of H4480 them from the sword H4480 H2719 , from the famine H4480 H7458 , and from the pestilence H4480 H1698 ; that H4616 they may declare H5608 H853 all H3605 their abominations H8441 among the heathen H1471 whither H834 H8033 they come H935 ; and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
17. Moreover the word of the LORD came to me:
|
17. Moreover the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 to H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
18. "Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink water with trembling and with fearfulness;
|
18. Son H1121 of man H120 , eat H398 thy bread H3899 with quaking H7494 , and drink H8354 thy water H4325 with trembling H7269 and with carefulness H1674 ;
|
|
19. and say of the people of the land, Thus says the Lord GOD concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with fearfulness, and drink water in dismay, because their land will be stripped of all it contains, on account of the violence of all those who dwell in it.
|
19. And say H559 unto H413 the people H5971 of the land H776 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 , and of H413 the land H127 of Israel H3478 ; They shall eat H398 their bread H3899 with carefulness H1674 , and drink H8354 their water H4325 with astonishment H8078 , that H4616 her land H776 may be desolate H3456 from all that is therein H4480 H4393 , because of the violence H4480 H2555 of all H3605 them that dwell H3427 therein.
|
|
20. And the inhabited cities shall be laid waste, and the land shall become a desolation; and you shall know that I am the LORD."
|
20. And the cities H5892 that are inhabited H3427 shall be laid waste H2717 , and the land H776 shall be H1961 desolate H8077 ; and ye shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
21. And the word of the LORD came to me:
|
21. And the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
22. "Son of man, what is this proverb that you have about the land of Israel, saying, `The days grow long, and every vision comes to nought'?
|
22. Son H1121 of man H120 , what H4100 is that H2088 proverb H4912 that ye have in H5921 the land H127 of Israel H3478 , saying H559 , The days H3117 are prolonged H748 , and every H3605 vision H2377 faileth H6 ?
|
|
23. Tell them therefore, `Thus says the Lord GOD: I will put an end to this proverb, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel.' But say to them, The days are at hand, and the fulfilment of every vision.
|
23. Tell H559 H413 them therefore H3651 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; I will make this H2088 proverb H4912 H853 to cease H7673 , and they shall no H3808 more H5750 use it as a proverb H4911 H853 in Israel H3478 ; but H3588 H518 say H1696 unto H413 them , The days H3117 are at hand H7126 , and the effect H1697 of every H3605 vision H2377 .
|
|
24. For there shall be no more any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel.
|
24. For H3588 there shall be H1961 no H3808 more H5750 any H3605 vain H7723 vision H2377 nor flattering H2509 divination H4738 within H8432 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
25. But I the LORD will speak the word which I will speak, and it will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, but in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it, says the Lord GOD."
|
25. For H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 : I will speak H1696 , and the word H1697 H853 that H834 I shall speak H1696 shall come to pass H6213 ; it shall be no H3808 more H5750 prolonged H4900 : for H3588 in your days H3117 , O rebellious H4805 house H1004 , will I say H1696 the word H1697 , and will perform H6213 it, saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
26. Again the word of the LORD came to me:
|
26. Again the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 to H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
27. "Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, `The vision that he sees is for many days hence, and he prophesies of times far off.'
|
27. Son H1121 of man H120 , behold H2009 , they of the house H1004 of Israel H3478 say H559 , The vision H2377 that H834 he H1931 seeth H2372 is for many H7227 days H3117 to come , and he H1931 prophesieth H5012 of the times H6256 that are far off H7350 .
|
|
28. Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: None of my words will be delayed any longer, but the word which I speak will be performed, says the Lord GOD."
|
28. Therefore H3651 say H559 unto H413 them, Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; There shall none H3808 H3605 of my words H1697 be prolonged H4900 any more H5750 , but the word H1697 which H834 I have spoken H1696 shall be done H6213 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
