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.
			2	Then said# he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise# mischief, and give# wicked counsel in this city:
			3	Which say# , It is not near; let us build# houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh. [It is...: or, It is not for us to build houses near]
			4	Therefore prophesy# against them, prophesy# , O son of man.
			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.
			6	Ye have multiplied# your slain in this city, and ye have filled# the streets thereof with the slain.
			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.
			8	Ye have feared# the sword; and I will bring# a sword upon you, saith# the Lord GOD.
			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.
			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.
			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:
			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. [for ye...: or, which have not walked]
			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?
			14	Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying# ,
			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.
			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# .
			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.
			18	And they shall come# thither, and they shall take away# all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
			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:
			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.
			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.
			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.
			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.
			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.
			25	Then I spake# unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shewed# me.
