Ezekiel, Chapter 26

1  In the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:
2  "Son of man, because Tyre has said of Jerusalem, 'Aha! The gate to the nations is broken, and its doors have swung open to me; now that she lies in ruins I will prosper,'
3  therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against you, O Tyre, and I will bring many nations against you, like the sea casting up its waves.
4  They will destroy the walls of Tyre and pull down her towers; I will scrape away her rubble and make her a bare rock.
5  Out in the sea she will become a place to spread fishnets, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD . She will become plunder for the nations,
6  and her settlements on the mainland will be ravaged by the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD .
7  "For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: From the north I am going to bring against Tyre Nebuchadnezzar1 26:7 Hebrew Nebuchadrezzar , of which Nebuchadnezzar is a variant; here and often in Ezekiel and Jeremiah king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses and chariots, with horsemen and a great army.
8  He will ravage your settlements on the mainland with the sword; he will set up siege works against you, build a ramp up to your walls and raise his shields against you.
9  He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and demolish your towers with his weapons.
10  His horses will be so many that they will cover you with dust. Your walls will tremble at the noise of the war horses, wagons and chariots when he enters your gates as men enter a city whose walls have been broken through.
11  The hoofs of his horses will trample all your streets; he will kill your people with the sword, and your strong pillars will fall to the ground.
12  They will plunder your wealth and loot your merchandise; they will break down your walls and demolish your fine houses and throw your stones, timber and rubble into the sea.
13  I will put an end to your noisy songs, and the music of your harps will be heard no more.
14  I will make you a bare rock, and you will become a place to spread fishnets. You will never be rebuilt, for I the LORD have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD .
15  "This is what the Sovereign LORD says to Tyre: Will not the coastlands tremble at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan and the slaughter takes place in you?
16  Then all the princes of the coast will step down from their thrones and lay aside their robes and take off their embroidered garments. Clothed with terror, they will sit on the ground, trembling every moment, appalled at you.
17  Then they will take up a lament concerning you and say to you:
18  Now the coastlands tremble
on the day of your fall;
the islands in the sea
are terrified at your collapse.'
19  "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: When I make you a desolate city, like cities no longer inhabited, and when I bring the ocean depths over you and its vast waters cover you,
20  then I will bring you down with those who go down to the pit, to the people of long ago. I will make you dwell in the earth below, as in ancient ruins, with those who go down to the pit, and you will not return or take your place2 26:20 Septuagint; Hebrew return, and I will give glory in the land of the living.
21  I will bring you to a horrible end and you will be no more. You will be sought, but you will never again be found, declares the Sovereign LORD ."

Ezekiel, Chapter 27

1  The word of the LORD came to me:
2  "Son of man, take up a lament concerning Tyre.
3  Say to Tyre, situated at the gateway to the sea, merchant of peoples on many coasts, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says:
4  Your domain was on the high seas;
your builders brought your beauty to perfection.
5  They made all your timbers
of pine trees from Senir1 27:5 That is, Hermon ;
they took a cedar from Lebanon
to make a mast for you.
6  Of oaks from Bashan
they made your oars;
of cypress wood2 27:6 Targum; the Masoretic Text has a different division of the consonants. from the coasts of Cyprus3 27:6 Hebrew Kittim
they made your deck, inlaid with ivory.
7  Fine embroidered linen from Egypt was your sail
and served as your banner;
your awnings were of blue and purple
from the coasts of Elishah.
8  Men of Sidon and Arvad were your oarsmen;
your skilled men, O Tyre, were aboard as your seamen.
9  Veteran craftsmen of Gebal4 27:9 That is, Byblos were on board
as shipwrights to caulk your seams.
All the ships of the sea and their sailors
came alongside to trade for your wares.
10  " 'Men of Persia, Lydia and Put
served as soldiers in your army.
They hung their shields and helmets on your walls,
bringing you splendor.
11  Men of Arvad and Helech
manned your walls on every side;
men of Gammad
were in your towers.
They hung their shields around your walls;
they brought your beauty to perfection.
12  " 'Tarshish did business with you because of your great wealth of goods; they exchanged silver, iron, tin and lead for your merchandise.
13  " 'Greece, Tubal and Meshech traded with you; they exchanged slaves and articles of bronze for your wares.
14  " 'Men of Beth Togarmah exchanged work horses, war horses and mules for your merchandise.
15  " 'The men of Rhodes5 27:15 Septuagint; Hebrew Dedan traded with you, and many coastlands were your customers; they paid you with ivory tusks and ebony.
16  " 'Aram6 27:16 Most Hebrew manuscripts; some Hebrew manuscripts and Syriac Edom did business with you because of your many products; they exchanged turquoise, purple fabric, embroidered work, fine linen, coral and rubies for your merchandise.
17  " 'Judah and Israel traded with you; they exchanged wheat from Minnith and confections,7 27:17 The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain. honey, oil and balm for your wares.
18  " 'Damascus, because of your many products and great wealth of goods, did business with you in wine from Helbon and wool from Zahar.
19  " 'Danites and Greeks from Uzal bought your merchandise; they exchanged wrought iron, cassia and calamus for your wares.
20  " 'Dedan traded in saddle blankets with you.
21  " 'Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your customers; they did business with you in lambs, rams and goats.
22  " 'The merchants of Sheba and Raamah traded with you; for your merchandise they exchanged the finest of all kinds of spices and precious stones, and gold.
23  " 'Haran, Canneh and Eden and merchants of Sheba, Asshur and Kilmad traded with you.
24  In your marketplace they traded with you beautiful garments, blue fabric, embroidered work and multicolored rugs with cords twisted and tightly knotted.
25  " 'The ships of Tarshish serve
as carriers for your wares.
You are filled with heavy cargo
in the heart of the sea.
26  Your oarsmen take you
out to the high seas.
But the east wind will break you to pieces
in the heart of the sea.
27  Your wealth, merchandise and wares,
your mariners, seamen and shipwrights,
your merchants and all your soldiers,
and everyone else on board
will sink into the heart of the sea
on the day of your shipwreck.
28  The shorelands will quake
when your seamen cry out.
29  All who handle the oars
will abandon their ships;
the mariners and all the seamen
will stand on the shore.
30  They will raise their voice
and cry bitterly over you;
they will sprinkle dust on their heads
and roll in ashes.
31  They will shave their heads because of you
and will put on sackcloth.
They will weep over you with anguish of soul
and with bitter mourning.
32  As they wail and mourn over you,
they will take up a lament concerning you:
"Who was ever silenced like Tyre,
surrounded by the sea?"
33  When your merchandise went out on the seas,
you satisfied many nations;
with your great wealth and your wares
you enriched the kings of the earth.
34  Now you are shattered by the sea
in the depths of the waters;
your wares and all your company
have gone down with you.
35  All who live in the coastlands
are appalled at you;
their kings shudder with horror
and their faces are distorted with fear.
36  The merchants among the nations hiss at you;
you have come to a horrible end
and will be no more.' "

Ezekiel, Chapter 28

1  The word of the LORD came to me:
2  "Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says:
3  Are you wiser than Daniel1 28:3 Or Danel ; the Hebrew spelling may suggest a person other than the prophet Daniel. ?
Is no secret hidden from you?
4  By your wisdom and understanding
you have gained wealth for yourself
and amassed gold and silver
in your treasuries.
5  By your great skill in trading
you have increased your wealth,
and because of your wealth
your heart has grown proud.
6  " 'Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says:
7  I am going to bring foreigners against you,
the most ruthless of nations;
they will draw their swords against your beauty and wisdom
and pierce your shining splendor.
8  They will bring you down to the pit,
and you will die a violent death
in the heart of the seas.
9  Will you then say, "I am a god,"
in the presence of those who kill you?
You will be but a man, not a god,
in the hands of those who slay you.
10  You will die the death of the uncircumcised
at the hands of foreigners.
11  The word of the LORD came to me:
12  "Son of man, take up a lament concerning the king of Tyre and say to him: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says:
13  You were in Eden,
the garden of God;
every precious stone adorned you:
ruby, topaz and emerald,
chrysolite, onyx and jasper,
sapphire,2 28:13 Or lapis lazuli turquoise and beryl.3 28:13 The precise identification of some of these precious stones is uncertain.
Your settings and mountings4 28:13 The meaning of the Hebrew for this phrase is uncertain. were made of gold;
on the day you were created they were prepared.
14  You were anointed as a guardian cherub,
for so I ordained you.
You were on the holy mount of God;
you walked among the fiery stones.
15  You were blameless in your ways
from the day you were created
till wickedness was found in you.
16  Through your widespread trade
you were filled with violence,
and you sinned.
So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God,
and I expelled you, O guardian cherub,
from among the fiery stones.
17  Your heart became proud
on account of your beauty,
and you corrupted your wisdom
because of your splendor.
So I threw you to the earth;
I made a spectacle of you before kings.
18  By your many sins and dishonest trade
you have desecrated your sanctuaries.
So I made a fire come out from you,
and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes on the ground
in the sight of all who were watching.
19  All the nations who knew you
are appalled at you;
you have come to a horrible end
and will be no more.' "
20  The word of the LORD came to me:
21  "Son of man, set your face against Sidon; prophesy against her
22  and say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says:
23  I will send a plague upon her
and make blood flow in her streets.
The slain will fall within her,
with the sword against her on every side.
Then they will know that I am the LORD .
24  " 'No longer will the people of Israel have malicious neighbors who are painful briers and sharp thorns. Then they will know that I am the Sovereign LORD .
25  " 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: When I gather the people of Israel from the nations where they have been scattered, I will show myself holy among them in the sight of the nations. Then they will live in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26  They will live there in safety and will build houses and plant vineyards; they will live in safety when I inflict punishment on all their neighbors who maligned them. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.' "

Ezekiel, Chapter 29

1  In the tenth year, in the tenth month on the twelfth day, the word of the LORD came to me:
2  "Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.
3  Speak to him and say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says:
4  But I will put hooks in your jaws
and make the fish of your streams stick to your scales.
I will pull you out from among your streams,
with all the fish sticking to your scales.
5  I will leave you in the desert,
you and all the fish of your streams.
You will fall on the open field
and not be gathered or picked up.
I will give you as food
to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the air.
6  Then all who live in Egypt will know that I am the LORD .
7  When they grasped you with their hands, you splintered and you tore open their shoulders; when they leaned on you, you broke and their backs were wrenched.1 29:7 Syriac (see also Septuagint and Vulgate); Hebrew and you caused their backs to stand
8  " 'Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will bring a sword against you and kill your men and their animals.
9  Egypt will become a desolate wasteland. Then they will know that I am the LORD .
" 'Because you said, "The Nile is mine; I made it,"
10  therefore I am against you and against your streams, and I will make the land of Egypt a ruin and a desolate waste from Migdol to Aswan, as far as the border of Cush.2 29:10 That is, the upper Nile region
11  No foot of man or animal will pass through it; no one will live there for forty years.
12  I will make the land of Egypt desolate among devastated lands, and her cities will lie desolate forty years among ruined cities. And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries.
13  " 'Yet this is what the Sovereign LORD says: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations where they were scattered.
14  I will bring them back from captivity and return them to Upper Egypt,3 29:14 Hebrew to Pathros the land of their ancestry. There they will be a lowly kingdom.
15  It will be the lowliest of kingdoms and will never again exalt itself above the other nations. I will make it so weak that it will never again rule over the nations.
16  Egypt will no longer be a source of confidence for the people of Israel but will be a reminder of their sin in turning to her for help. Then they will know that I am the Sovereign LORD .' "
17  In the twenty-seventh year, in the first month on the first day, the word of the LORD came to me:
18  "Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon drove his army in a hard campaign against Tyre; every head was rubbed bare and every shoulder made raw. Yet he and his army got no reward from the campaign he led against Tyre.
19  Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am going to give Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will carry off its wealth. He will loot and plunder the land as pay for his army.
20  I have given him Egypt as a reward for his efforts because he and his army did it for me, declares the Sovereign LORD .
21  "On that day I will make a horn4 29:21 Horn here symbolizes strength. grow for the house of Israel, and I will open your mouth among them. Then they will know that I am the LORD ."

Ezekiel, Chapter 30

1  The word of the LORD came to me:
2  "Son of man, prophesy and say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says:
3  For the day is near,
the day of the LORD is near-
a day of clouds,
a time of doom for the nations.
4  A sword will come against Egypt,
and anguish will come upon Cush.1 30:4 That is, the upper Nile region; also in verses 5 and
When the slain fall in Egypt,
her wealth will be carried away
and her foundations torn down.
5  Cush and Put, Lydia and all Arabia, Libya2 30:5 Hebrew Cub and the people of the covenant land will fall by the sword along with Egypt.
6  " 'This is what the LORD says:
7  " 'They will be desolate
among desolate lands,
and their cities will lie
among ruined cities.
8  Then they will know that I am the LORD ,
when I set fire to Egypt
and all her helpers are crushed.
9  " 'On that day messengers will go out from me in ships to frighten Cush out of her complacency. Anguish will take hold of them on the day of Egypt's doom, for it is sure to come.
10  " 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says:
11  He and his army-the most ruthless of nations-
will be brought in to destroy the land.
They will draw their swords against Egypt
and fill the land with the slain.
12  I will dry up the streams of the Nile
and sell the land to evil men;
by the hand of foreigners
I will lay waste the land and everything in it.
13  " 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says:
14  I will lay waste Upper Egypt,3 30:14 Hebrew waste Pathros
set fire to Zoan
and inflict punishment on Thebes.4 30:14 Hebrew No ; also in verses 15 and 16
15  I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium,5 30:15 Hebrew Sin ; also in verse 16
the stronghold of Egypt,
and cut off the hordes of Thebes.
16  I will set fire to Egypt;
Pelusium will writhe in agony.
Thebes will be taken by storm;
Memphis will be in constant distress.
17  The young men of Heliopolis6 30:17 Hebrew Awen (or On) and Bubastis7 30:17 Hebrew Pi Beseth
will fall by the sword,
and the cities themselves will go into captivity.
18  Dark will be the day at Tahpanhes
when I break the yoke of Egypt;
there her proud strength will come to an end.
She will be covered with clouds,
and her villages will go into captivity.
19  So I will inflict punishment on Egypt,
and they will know that I am the LORD .' "
20  In the eleventh year, in the first month on the seventh day, the word of the LORD came to me:
21  "Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. It has not been bound up for healing or put in a splint so as to become strong enough to hold a sword.
22  Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt. I will break both his arms, the good arm as well as the broken one, and make the sword fall from his hand.
23  I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries.
24  I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put my sword in his hand, but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan before him like a mortally wounded man.
25  I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fall limp. Then they will know that I am the LORD , when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he brandishes it against Egypt.
26  I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries. Then they will know that I am the LORD ."

Ezekiel, Chapter 31

1  In the eleventh year, in the third month on the first day, the word of the LORD came to me:
2  "Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his hordes:
3  Consider Assyria, once a cedar in Lebanon,
with beautiful branches overshadowing the forest;
it towered on high,
its top above the thick foliage.
4  The waters nourished it,
deep springs made it grow tall;
their streams flowed
all around its base
and sent their channels
to all the trees of the field.
5  So it towered higher
than all the trees of the field;
its boughs increased
and its branches grew long,
spreading because of abundant waters.
6  All the birds of the air
nested in its boughs,
all the beasts of the field
gave birth under its branches;
all the great nations
lived in its shade.
7  It was majestic in beauty,
with its spreading boughs,
for its roots went down
to abundant waters.
8  The cedars in the garden of God
could not rival it,
nor could the pine trees
equal its boughs,
nor could the plane trees
compare with its branches-
no tree in the garden of God
could match its beauty.
9  I made it beautiful
with abundant branches,
the envy of all the trees of Eden
in the garden of God.
10  " 'Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because it towered on high, lifting its top above the thick foliage, and because it was proud of its height,
11  I handed it over to the ruler of the nations, for him to deal with according to its wickedness. I cast it aside,
12  and the most ruthless of foreign nations cut it down and left it. Its boughs fell on the mountains and in all the valleys; its branches lay broken in all the ravines of the land. All the nations of the earth came out from under its shade and left it.
13  All the birds of the air settled on the fallen tree, and all the beasts of the field were among its branches.
14  Therefore no other trees by the waters are ever to tower proudly on high, lifting their tops above the thick foliage. No other trees so well-watered are ever to reach such a height; they are all destined for death, for the earth below, among mortal men, with those who go down to the pit.
15  " 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: On the day it was brought down to the grave1 31:15 Hebrew Sheol ; also in verses 16 and 17 I covered the deep springs with mourning for it; I held back its streams, and its abundant waters were restrained. Because of it I clothed Lebanon with gloom, and all the trees of the field withered away.
16  I made the nations tremble at the sound of its fall when I brought it down to the grave with those who go down to the pit. Then all the trees of Eden, the choicest and best of Lebanon, all the trees that were well-watered, were consoled in the earth below.
17  Those who lived in its shade, its allies among the nations, had also gone down to the grave with it, joining those killed by the sword.
18  " 'Which of the trees of Eden can be compared with you in splendor and majesty? Yet you, too, will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the earth below; you will lie among the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword.
" 'This is Pharaoh and all his hordes, declares the Sovereign LORD .' "

Ezekiel, Chapter 32

1  In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month on the first day, the word of the LORD came to me:
2  "Son of man, take up a lament concerning Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him:
3  " 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says:
4  I will throw you on the land
and hurl you on the open field.
I will let all the birds of the air settle on you
and all the beasts of the earth gorge themselves on you.
5  I will spread your flesh on the mountains
and fill the valleys with your remains.
6  I will drench the land with your flowing blood
all the way to the mountains,
and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.
7  When I snuff you out, I will cover the heavens
and darken their stars;
I will cover the sun with a cloud,
and the moon will not give its light.
8  All the shining lights in the heavens
I will darken over you;
I will bring darkness over your land,
declares the Sovereign LORD .
9  I will trouble the hearts of many peoples
when I bring about your destruction among the nations,
among1 32:9 Hebrew; Septuagint bring you into captivity among the nations, / to lands you have not known.
10  I will cause many peoples to be appalled at you,
and their kings will shudder with horror because of you
when I brandish my sword before them.
On the day of your downfall
each of them will tremble
every moment for his life.
11  " 'For this is what the Sovereign LORD says:
12  I will cause your hordes to fall
by the swords of mighty men-
the most ruthless of all nations.
They will shatter the pride of Egypt,
and all her hordes will be overthrown.
13  I will destroy all her cattle
from beside abundant waters
no longer to be stirred by the foot of man
or muddied by the hoofs of cattle.
14  Then I will let her waters settle
and make her streams flow like oil,
declares the Sovereign LORD .
15  When I make Egypt desolate
and strip the land of everything in it,
when I strike down all who live there,
then they will know that I am the LORD .'
16  "This is the lament they will chant for her. The daughters of the nations will chant it; for Egypt and all her hordes they will chant it, declares the Sovereign LORD ."
17  In the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:
18  "Son of man, wail for the hordes of Egypt and consign to the earth below both her and the daughters of mighty nations, with those who go down to the pit.
19  Say to them, 'Are you more favored than others? Go down and be laid among the uncircumcised.'
20  They will fall among those killed by the sword. The sword is drawn; let her be dragged off with all her hordes.
21  From within the grave2 32:21 Hebrew Sheol ; also in verse 27 the mighty leaders will say of Egypt and her allies, 'They have come down and they lie with the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword.'
22  "Assyria is there with her whole army; she is surrounded by the graves of all her slain, all who have fallen by the sword.
23  Their graves are in the depths of the pit and her army lies around her grave. All who had spread terror in the land of the living are slain, fallen by the sword.
24  "Elam is there, with all her hordes around her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword. All who had spread terror in the land of the living went down uncircumcised to the earth below. They bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.
25  A bed is made for her among the slain, with all her hordes around her grave. All of them are uncircumcised, killed by the sword. Because their terror had spread in the land of the living, they bear their shame with those who go down to the pit; they are laid among the slain.
26  "Meshech and Tubal are there, with all their hordes around their graves. All of them are uncircumcised, killed by the sword because they spread their terror in the land of the living.
27  Do they not lie with the other uncircumcised warriors who have fallen, who went down to the grave with their weapons of war, whose swords were placed under their heads? The punishment for their sins rested on their bones, though the terror of these warriors had stalked through the land of the living.
28  "You too, O Pharaoh, will be broken and will lie among the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword.
29  "Edom is there, her kings and all her princes; despite their power, they are laid with those killed by the sword. They lie with the uncircumcised, with those who go down to the pit.
30  "All the princes of the north and all the Sidonians are there; they went down with the slain in disgrace despite the terror caused by their power. They lie uncircumcised with those killed by the sword and bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.
31  "Pharaoh-he and all his army-will see them and he will be consoled for all his hordes that were killed by the sword, declares the Sovereign LORD .
32  Although I had him spread terror in the land of the living, Pharaoh and all his hordes will be laid among the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword, declares the Sovereign LORD ."

Ezekiel, Chapter 33

1  The word of the LORD came to me:
2  "Son of man, speak to your countrymen and say to them: 'When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman,
3  and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people,
4  then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not take warning and the sword comes and takes his life, his blood will be on his own head.
5  Since he heard the sound of the trumpet but did not take warning, his blood will be on his own head. If he had taken warning, he would have saved himself.
6  But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes the life of one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.'
7  "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me.
8  When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for1 33:8 Or in ; also in verse his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood.
9  But if you do warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved yourself.
10  "Son of man, say to the house of Israel, 'This is what you are saying: "Our offenses and sins weigh us down, and we are wasting away because of2 33:10 Or away in them. How then can we live?" '
11  Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD , I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, O house of Israel?'
12  "Therefore, son of man, say to your countrymen, 'The righteousness of the righteous man will not save him when he disobeys, and the wickedness of the wicked man will not cause him to fall when he turns from it. The righteous man, if he sins, will not be allowed to live because of his former righteousness.'
13  If I tell the righteous man that he will surely live, but then he trusts in his righteousness and does evil, none of the righteous things he has done will be remembered; he will die for the evil he has done.
14  And if I say to the wicked man, 'You will surely die,' but he then turns away from his sin and does what is just and right-
15  if he gives back what he took in pledge for a loan, returns what he has stolen, follows the decrees that give life, and does no evil, he will surely live; he will not die.
16  None of the sins he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done what is just and right; he will surely live.
17  "Yet your countrymen say, 'The way of the Lord is not just.' But it is their way that is not just.
18  If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, he will die for it.
19  And if a wicked man turns away from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he will live by doing so.
20  Yet, O house of Israel, you say, 'The way of the Lord is not just.' But I will judge each of you according to his own ways."
21  In the twelfth year of our exile, in the tenth month on the fifth day, a man who had escaped from Jerusalem came to me and said, "The city has fallen!"
22  Now the evening before the man arrived, the hand of the LORD was upon me, and he opened my mouth before the man came to me in the morning. So my mouth was opened and I was no longer silent.
23  Then the word of the LORD came to me:
24  "Son of man, the people living in those ruins in the land of Israel are saying, 'Abraham was only one man, yet he possessed the land. But we are many; surely the land has been given to us as our possession.'
25  Therefore say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Since you eat meat with the blood still in it and look to your idols and shed blood, should you then possess the land?
26  You rely on your sword, you do detestable things, and each of you defiles his neighbor's wife. Should you then possess the land?'
27  "Say this to them: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: As surely as I live, those who are left in the ruins will fall by the sword, those out in the country I will give to the wild animals to be devoured, and those in strongholds and caves will die of a plague.
28  I will make the land a desolate waste, and her proud strength will come to an end, and the mountains of Israel will become desolate so that no one will cross them.
29  Then they will know that I am the LORD , when I have made the land a desolate waste because of all the detestable things they have done.'
30  "As for you, son of man, your countrymen are talking together about you by the walls and at the doors of the houses, saying to each other, 'Come and hear the message that has come from the LORD .'
31  My people come to you, as they usually do, and sit before you to listen to your words, but they do not put them into practice. With their mouths they express devotion, but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain.
32  Indeed, to them you are nothing more than one who sings love songs with a beautiful voice and plays an instrument well, for they hear your words but do not put them into practice.
33  "When all this comes true-and it surely will-then they will know that a prophet has been among them."
