Ezek.4.1

"Now, son of man, take a brick and place it before you. Draw a picture of the city Jerusalem on it.

Ezek.4.1

"Now, son of man, take a clay tablet, put it in front of you and draw the city of Jerusalem on it.

Ezek.4.1

"You also, son of man, take a clay tablet and lay it before you, and portray on it a city, Jerusalem.

Ezek.4.1

"And now, son of man, take a large brick and set it down in front of you. Then draw a map of the city of Jerusalem on it.

Ezek.4.2

Then make a model of a military siege against the brick: Build siege walls, construct a ramp, set up army camps, lay in battering rams around it.

Ezek.4.2

Then lay siege to it: Erect siege works against it, build a ramp up to it, set up camps against it and put battering rams around it.

Ezek.4.2

Lay siege against it, build a siege wall against it, and heap up a mound against it; set camps against it also, and place battering rams against it all around.

Ezek.4.2

Build siege ramps against the city walls. Surround it with enemy camps and battering rams.

Ezek.4.3

Then get an iron skillet and place it upright between you and the city--an iron wall. Face the model: The city shall be under siege and you shall be the besieger. This is a sign to the family of Israel.

Ezek.4.3

Then take an iron pan, place it as an iron wall between you and the city and turn your face toward it. It will be under siege, and you shall besiege it. This will be a sign to the house of Israel.

Ezek.4.3

Moreover take for yourself an iron plate, and set it as an iron wall between you and the city. Set your face against it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This will be a sign to the house of Israel.

Ezek.4.3

Then take an iron griddle and place it between you and the city. Turn toward it and demonstrate how the enemy will attack Jerusalem. This will be a warning to the people of Israel.

Ezek.4.4

"Next lie on your left side and place the sin of the family of Israel on yourself. You will bear their sin for as many days as you lie on your side.

Ezek.4.4

"Then lie on your left side and put the sin of the house of Israel upon yourself. You are to bear their sin for the number of days you lie on your side.

Ezek.4.4

"Lie also on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it. According to the number of the days that you lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity.

Ezek.4.4

"Now lie on your left side and place the sins of Israel on yourself. You are to bear their sins for the number of days you lie there on your side.

Ezek.4.5

The number of days you bear their sin will match the number of years of their sin, namely, 390. For 390 days you will bear the sin of the family of Israel.

Ezek.4.5

I have assigned you the same number of days as the years of their sin. So for 390 days you will bear the sin of the house of Israel.

Ezek.4.5

For I have laid on you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days; so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

Ezek.4.5

You will bear Israel's sins for 390 days--one day for each year of their sin.

Ezek.4.6

"Then, after you have done this, turn over and lie down on your right side and bear the sin of the family of Judah. Your assignment this time is to lie there for forty days, a day for each year of their sin.

Ezek.4.6

"After you have finished this, lie down again, this time on your right side, and bear the sin of the house of Judah. I have assigned you 40 days, a day for each year.

Ezek.4.6

And when you have completed them, lie again on your right side; then you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days. I have laid on you a day for each year.

Ezek.4.6

After that, turn over and lie on your right side for 40 days--one day for each year of Judah's sin.

Ezek.4.7

Look straight at the siege of Jerusalem. Roll up your sleeve, shake your bare arm, and preach against her.

Ezek.4.7

Turn your face toward the siege of Jerusalem and with bared arm prophesy against her.

Ezek.4.7

"Therefore you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem; your arm shall be uncovered, and you shall prophesy against it.

Ezek.4.7

"Meanwhile, continue your demonstration of the siege of Jerusalem. Lie there with your arm bared and prophesy her destruction.

Ezek.4.8

"I will tie you up with ropes, tie you so you can't move or turn over until you have finished the days of the siege.

Ezek.4.8

I will tie you up with ropes so that you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have finished the days of your siege.

Ezek.4.8

And surely I will restrain you so that you cannot turn from one side to another till you have ended the days of your siege.

Ezek.4.8

I will tie you up with ropes so you won't be able to turn from side to side until the days of your siege have been completed.

Ezek.4.9

"Next I want you to take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, dried millet and spelt, and mix them in a bowl to make a flat bread. This is your food ration for the 390 days you lie on your side.

Ezek.4.9

"Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself. You are to eat it during the 390 days you lie on your side.

Ezek.4.9

"Also take for yourself wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt; put them into one vessel, and make bread of them for yourself. During the number of days that you lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days, you shall eat it.

Ezek.4.9

"Now go and get some wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt, and mix them together in a storage jar. Use this food to make bread for yourself during the 390 days you will be lying on your side.

Ezek.4.10

Measure out about half a pound for each day and eat it on schedule.

Ezek.4.10

Weigh out twenty shekels of food to eat each day and eat it at set times.

Ezek.4.10

And your food which you eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day; from time to time you shall eat it.

Ezek.4.10

Ration this out to yourself, eight ounces of food for each day, and eat it at set times.

Ezek.4.11

Also measure out your daily ration of about a pint of water and drink it on schedule.

Ezek.4.11

Also measure out a sixth of a hin of water and drink it at set times.

Ezek.4.11

You shall also drink water by measure, one-sixth of a hin; from time to time you shall drink.

Ezek.4.11

Then measure out a jar of water for each day, and drink it at set times.

Ezek.4.12

Eat the bread as you would a muffin. Bake the muffins out in the open where everyone can see you, using dried human dung for fuel."

Ezek.4.12

Eat the food as you would a barley cake; bake it in the sight of the people, using human excrement for fuel."

Ezek.4.12

And you shall eat it as barley cakes; and bake it using fuel of human waste in their sight."

Ezek.4.12

Each day prepare your bread as you would barley cakes. While all the people are watching, bake it over a fire using dried human dung as fuel and then eat the bread.

Ezek.4.13

GOD said, "This is what the people of Israel are going to do: Among the pagan nations where I will drive them, they will eat foods that are strictly taboo to a holy people."

Ezek.4.13

The LORD said, "In this way the people of Israel will eat defiled food among the nations where I will drive them."

Ezek.4.13

Then the LORD said, "So shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them."

Ezek.4.13

For this is what the LORD says: Israel will eat defiled bread in the Gentile lands, where I will banish them!"

Ezek.4.14

I said, "GOD, my Master! Never! I've never contaminated myself with food like that. Since my youth I've never eaten anything forbidden by law, nothing found dead or violated by wild animals. I've never taken a single bite of forbidden food."

Ezek.4.14

Then I said, "Not so, Sovereign LORD! I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now I have never eaten anything found dead or torn by wild animals. No unclean meat has ever entered my mouth."

Ezek.4.14

So I said, "Ah, Lord GOD! Indeed I have never defiled myself from my youth till now; I have never eaten what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has abominable flesh ever come into my mouth."

Ezek.4.14

Then I said, "O Sovereign LORD, must I be defiled by using human dung? For I have never been defiled before. From the time I was a child until now I have never eaten any animal that died of sickness or that I found dead. And I have never eaten any of the animals that our laws forbid."

Ezek.4.15

"All right," he said. "I'll let you bake your bread over cow dung instead of human dung."

Ezek.4.15

"Very well," he said, "I will let you bake your bread over cow manure instead of human excrement."

Ezek.4.15

Then He said to me, "See, I am giving you cow dung instead of human waste, and you shall prepare your bread over it."

Ezek.4.15

"All right," the LORD said. "You may bake your bread with cow dung instead of human dung."

Ezek.4.16

Then he said to me, "Son of man, I'm going to cut off all food from Jerusalem. The people will live on starvation rations, worrying where the next meal's coming from, scrounging for the next drink of water.

Ezek.4.16

He then said to me: "Son of man, I will cut off the supply of food in Jerusalem. The people will eat rationed food in anxiety and drink rationed water in despair,

Ezek.4.16

Moreover He said to me, "Son of man, surely I will cut off the supply of bread in Jerusalem; they shall eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and shall drink water by measure and with dread,

Ezek.4.16

Then he told me, "Son of man, I will cause food to be very scarce in Jerusalem. It will be weighed out with great care and eaten fearfully. The water will be portioned out drop by drop, and the people will drink it with dismay.

Ezek.4.17

Famine conditions. People will look at one another, see nothing but skin and bones, and shake their heads. This is what sin does."

Ezek.4.17

for food and water will be scarce. They will be appalled at the sight of each other and will waste away because of their sin.

Ezek.4.17

that they may lack bread and water, and be dismayed with one another, and waste away because of their iniquity.

Ezek.4.17

Food and water will be so scarce that the people will look at one another in terror, and they will waste away under their punishment.

Ezek.5.1

"Now, son of man, take a sharp sword and use it as a straight razor, shaving your head and your beard. Then, using a set of balancing scales, divide the hair into thirds.

Ezek.5.1

"Now, son of man, take a sharp sword and use it as a barber's razor to shave your head and your beard. Then take a set of scales and divide up the hair.

Ezek.5.1

"And you, son of man, take a sharp sword, take it as a barber's razor, and pass it over your head and your beard; then take scales to weigh and divide the hair.

Ezek.5.1

"Son of man, take a sharp sword and use it as a razor to shave your head and beard. Use a scale to weigh the hair into three equal parts.

Ezek.5.2

When the days of the siege are over, take one-third of the hair and burn it inside the city. Take another third, chop it into bits with the sword and sprinkle it around the city. The final third you'll throw to the wind. Then I'll go after them with a sword.

Ezek.5.2

When the days of your siege come to an end, burn a third of the hair with fire inside the city. Take a third and strike it with the sword all around the city. And scatter a third to the wind. For I will pursue them with drawn sword.

Ezek.5.2

You shall burn with fire one-third in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are finished; then you shall take one-third and strike around it with the sword, and one-third you shall scatter in the wind: I will draw out a sword after them.

Ezek.5.2

Place a third of it at the center of your map of Jerusalem. After acting out the siege, burn it there. Scatter another third across your map and slash at it with a sword. Scatter the last third to the wind, for I will scatter my people with the sword.

Ezek.5.3

"Retrieve a few of the hairs and slip them into your pocket.

Ezek.5.3

But take a few strands of hair and tuck them away in the folds of your garment.

Ezek.5.3

You shall also take a small number of them and bind them in the edge of your garment.

Ezek.5.3

Keep just a bit of the hair and tie it up in your robe.

Ezek.5.4

Take some of them and throw them into the fire--burn them up. From them, fire will spread to the whole family of Israel.

Ezek.5.4

Again, take a few of these and throw them into the fire and burn them up. A fire will spread from there to the whole house of Israel.

Ezek.5.4

Then take some of them again and throw them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire. From there a fire will go out into all the house of Israel.

Ezek.5.4

Then take a few of these hairs out and throw them into the fire, burning them up. A fire will then spread from this remnant and destroy all of Israel.

Ezek.5.5

"This is what GOD, the Master, says: This means Jerusalem. I set her at the center of the world, all the nations ranged around her.

Ezek.5.5

"This is what the Sovereign LORD says: This is Jerusalem, which I have set in the center of the nations, with countries all around her.

Ezek.5.5

"Thus says the Lord GOD: "This is Jerusalem; I have set her in the midst of the nations and the countries all around her.

Ezek.5.5

"This is what the Sovereign LORD says: This is an illustration of what will happen to Jerusalem. I placed her at the center of the nations,

Ezek.5.6

But she rebelled against my laws and ordinances, rebelled far worse than the nations ranged around her--sheer wickedness!-refused my guidance, ignored my directions.

Ezek.5.6

Yet in her wickedness she has rebelled against my laws and decrees more than the nations and countries around her. She has rejected my laws and has not followed my decrees.

Ezek.5.6

She has rebelled against My judgments by doing wickedness more than the nations, and against My statutes more than the countries that are all around her; for they have refused My judgments, and they have not walked in My statutes.'

Ezek.5.6

but she has rebelled against my regulations and has been even more wicked than the surrounding nations. She has refused to obey the laws I gave her to follow.

Ezek.5.7

"Therefore this is what GOD, the Master, says: You've been more headstrong and willful than any of the nations around you, refusing my guidance, ignoring my directions. You've sunk to the gutter level of those around you.

Ezek.5.7

"Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: You have been more unruly than the nations around you and have not followed my decrees or kept my laws. You have not even conformed to the standards of the nations around you.

Ezek.5.7

Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Because you have multiplied disobedience more than the nations that are all around you, have not walked in My statutes nor kept My judgments, nor even done according to the judgments of the nations that are all around you'--

Ezek.5.7

So this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Since you have refused to obey my laws and regulations and have behaved even worse than your neighbors,

Ezek.5.8

"Therefore this is what GOD, the Master, says: I'm setting myself against you--yes, against you, Jerusalem. I'm going to punish you in full sight of the nations.

Ezek.5.8

"Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I myself am against you, Jerusalem, and I will inflict punishment on you in the sight of the nations.

Ezek.5.8

therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Indeed I, even I, am against you and will execute judgments in your midst in the sight of the nations.

Ezek.5.8

I myself, the Sovereign LORD, am now your enemy. I will punish you publicly while all the nations watch.

Ezek.5.9

Because of your disgusting no-god idols, I'm going to do something to you that I've never done before and will never do again:

Ezek.5.9

Because of all your detestable idols, I will do to you what I have never done before and will never do again.

Ezek.5.9

And I will do among you what I have never done, and the like of which I will never do again, because of all your abominations.

Ezek.5.9

Because of your detestable idols, I will punish you more severely than I have punished anyone before or ever will again.

Ezek.5.10

turn families into cannibals--parents eating children, children eating parents! Punishment indeed. And whoever's left over I'll throw to the winds.

Ezek.5.10

Therefore in your midst fathers will eat their children, and children will eat their fathers. I will inflict punishment on you and will scatter all your survivors to the winds.

Ezek.5.10

Therefore fathers shall eat their sons in your midst, and sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments among you, and all of you who remain I will scatter to all the winds.

Ezek.5.10

Parents will eat their own children, and children will eat their parents. And I will punish you by scattering the few who survive to the far reaches of the earth.

Ezek.5.11

"Therefore, as sure as I am the living God--Decree of GOD, the Master--because you've polluted my Sanctuary with your obscenities and disgusting no-god idols, I'm pulling out. Not an ounce of pity will I show you.

Ezek.5.11

Therefore as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your vile images and detestable practices, I myself will withdraw my favor; I will not look on you with pity or spare you.

Ezek.5.11

"Therefore, as I live,' says the Lord GOD, "surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable things and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you; My eye will not spare, nor will I have any pity.

Ezek.5.11

"As surely as I live, says the Sovereign LORD, I will cut you off completely. I will show you no pity at all because you have defiled my Temple with idols and vile practices.

Ezek.5.12

A third of your people will die of either disease or hunger inside the city, a third will be killed outside the city, and a third will be thrown to the winds and chased by killers.

Ezek.5.12

A third of your people will die of the plague or perish by famine inside you; a third will fall by the sword outside your walls; and a third I will scatter to the winds and pursue with drawn sword.

Ezek.5.12

One-third of you shall die of the pestilence, and be consumed with famine in your midst; and one-third shall fall by the sword all around you; and I will scatter another third to all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.

Ezek.5.12

A third of your people will die in the city from famine and disease. A third of them will be slaughtered by the enemy outside the city walls. And I will scatter a third to the winds and chase them with my sword.

Ezek.5.13

"Only then will I calm down and let my anger cool. Then you'll know that I was serious about this all along, that I'm a jealous God and not to be trifled with.

Ezek.5.13

"Then my anger will cease and my wrath against them will subside, and I will be avenged. And when I have spent my wrath upon them, they will know that I the LORD have spoken in my zeal.

Ezek.5.13

"Thus shall My anger be spent, and I will cause My fury to rest upon them, and I will be avenged; and they shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken it in My zeal, when I have spent My fury upon them.

Ezek.5.13

Then at last my anger will be spent, and I will be satisfied. And when my fury against them has subsided, all Israel will know that I, the LORD, have spoken to them in my jealous anger.

Ezek.5.14

"When I get done with you, you'll be a pile of rubble. Nations who walk by will make coarse jokes.

Ezek.5.14

"I will make you a ruin and a reproach among the nations around you, in the sight of all who pass by.

Ezek.5.14

Moreover I will make you a waste and a reproach among the nations that are all around you, in the sight of all who pass by.

Ezek.5.14

"So I will turn you into a ruin, a mockery in the eyes of the surrounding nations and to everyone who travels by.

Ezek.5.15

When I finish my angry punishment and searing rebukes, you'll be reduced to an object of ridicule and mockery, turned into a horror story circulating among the surrounding nations. I, GOD, have spoken.

Ezek.5.15

You will be a reproach and a taunt, a warning and an object of horror to the nations around you when I inflict punishment on you in anger and in wrath and with stinging rebuke. I the LORD have spoken.

Ezek.5.15

"So it shall be a reproach, a taunt, a lesson, and an astonishment to the nations that are all around you, when I execute judgments among you in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I, the LORD, have spoken.

Ezek.5.15

You will become an object of mockery and taunting and horror. You will be a warning to all the nations around you. They will see what happens when the LORD turns against a nation in furious rebuke. I, the LORD, have spoken!

Ezek.5.16

"When I shoot my lethal famine arrows at you, I'll shoot to kill. Then I'll step up the famine and cut off food supplies.

Ezek.5.16

When I shoot at you with my deadly and destructive arrows of famine, I will shoot to destroy you. I will bring more and more famine upon you and cut off your supply of food.

Ezek.5.16

When I send against them the terrible arrows of famine which shall be for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, I will increase the famine upon you and cut off your supply of bread.

Ezek.5.16

"I will shower you with the deadly arrows of famine to destroy you. The famine will become more and more severe until every crumb of food is gone.

Ezek.5.17

Famine and more famine--and then I'll send in the wild animals to finish off your children. Epidemic disease, unrestrained murder, death--and I will have sent it! I, GOD, have spoken."

Ezek.5.17

I will send famine and wild beasts against you, and they will leave you childless. Plague and bloodshed will sweep through you, and I will bring the sword against you. I the LORD have spoken."

Ezek.5.17

So I will send against you famine and wild beasts, and they will bereave you. Pestilence and blood shall pass through you, and I will bring the sword against you. I, the LORD, have spoken."'

Ezek.5.17

And along with the famine, wild animals will attack you, robbing you of your children. Disease and war will stalk your land, and I will bring the sword of the enemy against you. I, the LORD, have spoken!"

Ezek.6.1

Then the Word of GOD came to me:

Ezek.6.1

The word of the LORD came to me:

Ezek.6.1

Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying:

Ezek.6.1

Again a message came to me from the LORD:

Ezek.6.2

"Son of man, now turn and face the mountains of Israel and preach against them

Ezek.6.2

"Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel; prophesy against them

Ezek.6.2

"Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,

Ezek.6.2

"Son of man, look over toward the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them.

Ezek.6.3

: "O Mountains of Israel, listen to the Message of GOD, the Master. GOD, the Master, speaks to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and the valleys: I'm about to destroy your sacred god and goddess shrines.

Ezek.6.3

and say: 'O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign LORD. This is what the Sovereign LORD says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: I am about to bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.

Ezek.6.3

and say, "O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD! Thus says the Lord GOD to the mountains, to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys: "Indeed I, even I, will bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.

Ezek.6.3

Give the mountains of Israel this message from the Sovereign LORD. This is what the Sovereign LORD says to the mountains and hills and to the ravines and valleys: I am about to bring war upon you, and I will destroy your pagan shrines.

Ezek.6.4

I'll level your altars, bust up your sun-god pillars, and kill your people as they bow down to your no-god idols.

Ezek.6.4

Your altars will be demolished and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will slay your people in front of your idols.

Ezek.6.4

Then your altars shall be desolate, your incense altars shall be broken, and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.

Ezek.6.4

All your altars will be demolished, and your incense altars will be smashed. I will kill your people in front of your idols.

Ezek.6.5

I'll stack the dead bodies of Israelites in front of your idols and then scatter your bones around your shrines.

Ezek.6.5

I will lay the dead bodies of the Israelites in front of their idols, and I will scatter your bones around your altars.

Ezek.6.5

And I will lay the corpses of the children of Israel before their idols, and I will scatter your bones all around your altars.

Ezek.6.5

I will lay your corpses in front of your idols and scatter your bones around your altars.

Ezek.6.6

Every place where you've lived, the towns will be torn down and the pagan shrines demolished--altars busted up, idols smashed, all your custom-made sun-god pillars in ruins.

Ezek.6.6

Wherever you live, the towns will be laid waste and the high places demolished, so that your altars will be laid waste and devastated, your idols smashed and ruined, your incense altars broken down, and what you have made wiped out.

Ezek.6.6

In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate, so that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, your idols may be broken and made to cease, your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.

Ezek.6.6

Wherever you live there will be desolation. I will destroy your pagan shrines, your altars, your idols, your incense altars, and all the other religious objects you have made.

Ezek.6.7

Corpses everywhere you look! Then you'll know that I am GOD.

Ezek.6.7

Your people will fall slain among you, and you will know that I am the LORD.

Ezek.6.7

The slain shall fall in your midst, and you shall know that I am the LORD.

Ezek.6.7

Then when the place is littered with corpses, you will know that I am the LORD.

Ezek.6.8

But I'll let a few escape the killing as you are scattered through other lands and nations.

Ezek.6.8

"'But I will spare some, for some of you will escape the sword when you are scattered among the lands and nations.

Ezek.6.8

"Yet I will leave a remnant, so that you may have some who escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered through the countries.

Ezek.6.8

"But I will let a few of my people escape destruction, and they will be scattered among the nations of the world.

Ezek.6.9

In the foreign countries where they're taken as prisoners of war, they'll remember me. They'll realize how devastated I was by their betrayals, by their voracious lust for gratifying themselves in their idolatries. They'll be disgusted with their evil ways, disgusting to God in the way they've lived.

Ezek.6.9

Then in the nations where they have been carried captive, those who escape will remember me-how I have been grieved by their adulterous hearts, which have turned away from me, and by their eyes, which have lusted after their idols. They will loathe themselves for the evil they have done and for all their detestable practices.

Ezek.6.9

Then those of you who escape will remember Me among the nations where they are carried captive, because I was crushed by their adulterous heart which has departed from Me, and by their eyes which play the harlot after their idols; they will loathe themselves for the evils which they committed in all their abominations.

Ezek.6.9

Then when they are exiled among the nations, they will remember me. They will recognize how grieved I am by their unfaithful hearts and lustful eyes that long for other gods. Then at last they will hate themselves for all their wickedness.

Ezek.6.10

They'll know that I am GOD. They'll know that my judgment against them was no empty threat.

Ezek.6.10

And they will know that I am the LORD; I did not threaten in vain to bring this calamity on them.

Ezek.6.10

And they shall know that I am the LORD; I have not said in vain that I would bring this calamity upon them."

Ezek.6.10

They will know that I alone am the LORD and that I was serious when I predicted that all this would happen to them.

Ezek.6.11

This is what GOD, the Master, says: Clap your hands, stamp your feet, yell out, "No, no, no!" because of all the evil obscenities rife in Israel. They're going to be killed, dying of hunger, dying of disease--

Ezek.6.11

"'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Strike your hands together and stamp your feet and cry out "Alas!" because of all the wicked and detestable practices of the house of Israel, for they will fall by the sword, famine and plague.

Ezek.6.11

"Thus says the Lord GOD: "Pound your fists and stamp your feet, and say, "Alas, for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! For they shall fall by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.

Ezek.6.11

"This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Clap your hands in horror, and stamp your feet. Cry out, `Alas!' because of all the evil that the people of Israel have done. Now they are going to die from war and famine and disease.

Ezek.6.12

death everywhere you look, people dropping like flies, people far away dying, people nearby dying, and whoever's left in the city starving to death. Why? Because I'm angry, furiously angry.

Ezek.6.12

He that is far away will die of the plague, and he that is near will fall by the sword, and he that survives and is spared will die of famine. So will I spend my wrath upon them.

Ezek.6.12

He who is far off shall die by the pestilence, he who is near shall fall by the sword, and he who remains and is besieged shall die by the famine. Thus will I spend My fury upon them.

Ezek.6.12
