EZE-13: 3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets,

that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! <follow>

EZE-13: 4 O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the

deserts. <are> <deserts> <foxes> <israel> <like> <prophets>

EZE-13: 5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the

hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day

of the LORD. <battle> <day> <gaps> <gone> <have> <hedge> <house>

EZE-13: 6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying,

The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have

made [others] to hope that they would confirm the word.

<would>

EZE-13: 7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken

a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith [it] ; albeit

I have not spoken? <albeit> <divination> <have> <lord> <lying>

EZE-13: 8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have

spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I [am] against

you, saith the Lord GOD. <against> <because> <behold> <god>

EZE-13: 9 And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see

vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly

of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of

the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of

Israel; and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD. <assembly>

EZE-13: 10 Because, even because they have seduced my people,

saying, Peace; and [there was] no peace; and one built up a wall,

and, lo, others daubed it with untempered [mortar] : <because>

<with>

EZE-13: 11 Say unto them which daub [it] with untempered

[mortar] , that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing

shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy

wind shall rend [it] . <daub> <fall> <great> <hailstones>

EZE-13: 12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said

unto you, Where [is] the daubing wherewith ye have daubed [it] ?

EZE-13: 13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend

[it] with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an

overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in [my]

fury to consume [it] . <anger> <consume> <even> <fury> <god>

EZE-13: 14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed

with untempered [mortar] , and bring it down to the ground, so

that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall

fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye

shall know that I [am] the LORD. <break> <bring> <consumed>

EZE-13: 15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and

upon them that have daubed it with untempered [mortar] , and

will say unto you, The wall [is] no [more] , neither they that

daubed it; <daubed> <have> <more> <mortar> <neither> <no> <say>

EZE-13: 16 [To wit] , the prophets of Israel which prophesy

concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her,

and [there is] no peace, saith the Lord GOD. <concerning> <god>

EZE-13: 17 Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the

daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart;

and prophesy thou against them, <against> <daughters> <face>

<which>

EZE-13: 18 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the [women]

that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the

head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of

my people, and will ye save the souls alive [that come] unto

you? <alive> <all> <armholes> <come> <every> <god> <head> <hunt>

EZE-13: 19 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls

of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should

not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by

your lying to my people that hear [your] lies? <alive> <among>

EZE-13: 20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am]

against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make

[them] fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let

the souls go, [even] the souls that ye hunt to make [them] fly.

EZE-13: 21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my

people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand

to be hunted; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD. <also>

EZE-13: 22 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the

righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the

hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked

way, by promising him life: <because> <hands> <have> <heart>

EZE-13: 23 Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine

divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and

ye shall know that I [am] the LORD. <deliver> <divinations>

EZE-14: 1 Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and

sat before me. <before> <came> <certain> <elders> <israel> <sat>

<then>

EZE-14: 2 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, <came>

EZE-14: 3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their

heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their

face: should I be inquired of at all by them? <all> <before>

EZE-14: 4 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus

saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that

setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the

stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to

the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to

the multitude of his idols; <answer> <before> <cometh> <every>

EZE-14: 5 That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart,

because they are all estranged from me through their idols.

EZE-14: 6 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the

Lord GOD; Repent, and turn [yourselves] from your idols; and

turn away your faces from all your abominations. <all> <away>

EZE-14: 7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the

stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself

from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the

stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a

prophet to inquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer

him by myself: <answer> <before> <cometh> <concerning> <every>

EZE-14: 8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make

him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst

of my people; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD. <against>

EZE-14: 9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a

thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch

out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my

people Israel. <deceived> <destroy> <hand> <hath> <have> <him>

EZE-14: 10 And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity:

the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of

him that seeketh [unto him] ; <bear> <even> <him> <iniquity>

EZE-14: 11 That the house of Israel may go no more astray from

me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions;

but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith

the Lord GOD. <all> <any> <astray> <go> <god> <house> <israel>

EZE-14: 12 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,

EZE-14: 13 Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by

trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon

it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send

famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:

EZE-14: 14 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were

in it, they should deliver [but] their own souls by their

righteousness, saith the Lord GOD. <daniel> <deliver> <god>

EZE-14: 15 If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land,

and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass

through because of the beasts: <beasts> <because> <cause>

EZE-14: 16 [Though] these three men [were] in it, [as] I live,

saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor

daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be

desolate. <daughters> <deliver> <delivered> <desolate> <god>

EZE-14: 17 Or [if] I bring a sword upon that land, and say,

Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from

it: <beast> <bring> <cut> <go> <land> <man> <off> <or> <say>

EZE-14: 18 Though these three men [were] in it, [as] I live,

saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor

daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.

EZE-14: 19 Or [if] I send a pestilence into that land, and pour

out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:

EZE-14: 20 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, [were] in it, [as] I

live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor

daughter; they shall [but] deliver their own souls by their

righteousness. <daniel> <daughter> <deliver> <god> <job> <live>

EZE-14: 21 For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I

send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the

famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off

from it man and beast? <beast> <cut> <famine> <four> <god> <how>

EZE-14: 22 Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that

shall be brought forth, [both] sons and daughters: behold, they

shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their

doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I

have brought upon Jerusalem, [even] concerning all that I have

brought upon it. <all> <behold> <both> <brought> <come>

EZE-14: 23 And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways

and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without

cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD. <all>

EZE-15: 1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, <came>

EZE-15: 2 Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree,

[or than] a branch which is among the trees of the forest?

EZE-15: 3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will

[men] take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon? <any> <do>

EZE-15: 4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire

devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is

it meet for [any] work? <any> <behold> <both> <burned> <cast>

EZE-15: 5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work:

how much less shall it be meet yet for [any] work, when the fire

hath devoured it, and it is burned? <any> <behold> <burned>

EZE-15: 6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As the vine tree

among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire

for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem. <among>

EZE-15: 7 And I will set my face against them; they shall go out

from [one] fire, and [another] fire shall devour them; and ye

shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I set my face against them.

EZE-15: 8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have

committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD. <because> <committed>

<will>

EZE-16: 1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-16: 2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,

EZE-16: 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy

birth and thy nativity [is] of the land of Canaan; thy father

[was] an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite. <amorite> <birth>

EZE-16: 4 And [as for] thy nativity, in the day thou wast born

thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to

supple [thee] ; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

EZE-16: 5 None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to

have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open

field, to the loathing of thy person, in the day that thou wast

born. <any> <born> <cast> <compassion> <day> <do> <eye> <field>

EZE-16: 6 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in

thine own blood, I said unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood,

Live; yea, I said unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood, Live.

EZE-16: 7 I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field,

and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to

excellent ornaments: [thy] breasts are fashioned, and thine hair

is grown, whereas thou [wast] naked and bare. <are> <art> <bare>

EZE-16: 8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee,

behold, thy time [was] the time of love; and I spread my skirt

over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee,

and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and

thou becamest mine. <becamest> <behold> <covenant> <covered>

EZE-16: 9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I thoroughly

washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.

EZE-16: 10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod

thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen,

and I covered thee with silk. <also> <broidered> <clothed>

<work>

EZE-16: 11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put

bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck. <also>

EZE-16: 12 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in

thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head. <beautiful>

<thine>

EZE-16: 13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy

raiment [was of] fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou

didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast

exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.

EZE-16: 14 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy

beauty: for it [was] perfect through my comeliness, which I had

put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD. <among> <beauty> <comeliness>

EZE-16: 15 But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and

playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy

fornications on every one that passed by; his it was. <beauty>

EZE-16: 16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy

high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot

thereupon: [the like things] shall not come, neither shall it be

[so] . <colours> <come> <deckedst> <didst> <divers> <garments>

EZE-16: 17 Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and

of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself

images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them, <also>

EZE-16: 18 And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst

them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.

EZE-16: 19 My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil,

and honey, [wherewith] I fed thee, thou hast even set it before

them for a sweet savour: and [thus] it was, saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-16: 20 Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters,

whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed

unto them to be devoured. [Is this] of thy whoredoms a small

matter, <borne> <daughters> <devoured> <hast> <matter>

EZE-16: 21 That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them

to cause them to pass through [the fire] for them? <cause>

EZE-16: 22 And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou

hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked

and bare, [and] wast polluted in thy blood. <all> <bare> <blood>

EZE-16: 23 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, ( woe,

woe unto thee! saith the Lord GOD; ) <after> <all> <came> <god>

EZE-16: 24 [That] thou hast also built unto thee an eminent

place, and hast made thee an high place in every street. <also>

EZE-16: 25 Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the

way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened

thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy

whoredoms. <beauty> <built> <every> <feet> <hast> <head> <high>

EZE-16: 26 Thou hast also committed fornication with the

Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy

whoredoms, to provoke me to anger. <also> <anger> <committed>

EZE-16: 27 Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over

thee, and have diminished thine ordinary [food] , and delivered

thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the

Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way. <are> <ashamed>

EZE-16: 28 Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians,

because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot

with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied. <also> <assyrians>

EZE-16: 29 Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the

land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied

herewith. <canaan> <chaldea> <fornication> <hast> <herewith>

EZE-16: 30 How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing

thou doest all these [things] , the work of an imperious whorish

woman; <all> <doest> <god> <heart> <how> <imperious> <lord>

EZE-16: 31 In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head

of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and

hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire; <been>

EZE-16: 32 [But as] a wife that committeth adultery, [which]

taketh strangers instead of her husband! <adultery> <committeth>

EZE-16: 33 They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy

gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come

unto thee on every side for thy whoredom. <all> <come> <every>

EZE-16: 34 And the contrary is in thee from [other] women in thy

whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and

in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee,

therefore thou art contrary. <art> <commit> <contrary>

EZE-16: 35 Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:

EZE-16: 36 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was

poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms

with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and

by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them;

EZE-16: 37 Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with

whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all [them] that thou hast

loved, with all [them] that thou hast hated; I will even gather

them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness

unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness. <against> <all>

EZE-16: 38 And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock

and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury

and jealousy. <are> <blood> <break> <fury> <give> <jealousy>

EZE-16: 39 And I will also give thee into their hand, and they

shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy

high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and

shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.

EZE-16: 40 They shall also bring up a company against thee, and

they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with

their swords. <against> <also> <bring> <company> <stone>

EZE-16: 41 And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and

execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I

will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also

shalt give no hire any more. <also> <any> <burn> <cause> <cease>

<women>

EZE-16: 42 So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my

jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will

be no more angry. <angry> <depart> <fury> <jealousy> <make>

EZE-16: 43 Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy

youth, but hast fretted me in all these [things] ; behold,

therefore I also will recompense thy way upon [thine] head,

saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness

above all thine abominations. <all> <also> <because> <behold>

EZE-16: 44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use

[this] proverb against thee, saying, As [is] the mother, [so is]

her daughter. <against> <behold> <daughter> <every> <mother>

EZE-16: 45 Thou [art] thy mother's daughter, that loatheth her

husband and her children; and thou [art] the sister of thy

sisters, which loathed their husbands and their children: your

mother [was] an Hittite, and your father an Amorite. <amorite>

EZE-16: 46 And thine elder sister [is] Samaria, she and her

daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister,

that dwelleth at thy right hand, [is] Sodom and her daughters.

EZE-16: 47 Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done

after their abominations: but, as [if that were] a very little

[thing] , thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways.

EZE-16: 48 [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister

hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou

and thy daughters. <daughters> <done> <god> <hast> <hath> <live>

EZE-16: 49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom,

pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her

and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the

poor and needy. <behold> <bread> <daughters> <did> <fulness>

EZE-16: 50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination

before me: therefore I took them away as I saw [good] . <away>

EZE-16: 51 Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but

thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast

justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast

done. <all> <committed> <done> <half> <hast> <hath> <justified>

EZE-16: 52 Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine

own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable

than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou

confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified

thy sisters. <also> <are> <bear> <committed> <confounded> <hast>

EZE-16: 53 When I shall bring again their captivity, the

captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of

Samaria and her daughters, then [will I bring again] the

captivity of thy captives in the midst of them: <again> <bring>

EZE-16: 54 That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be

confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a

comfort unto them. <all> <art> <bear> <comfort> <confounded>

EZE-16: 55 When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall

return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters

shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters

shall return to your former estate. <daughters> <estate>

<your>

EZE-16: 56 For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth

in the day of thy pride, <day> <mentioned> <mouth> <pride>

EZE-16: 57 Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time

of [thy] reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all [that are]

round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which despise

thee round about. <all> <are> <before> <daughters> <despise>

EZE-16: 58 Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations,

saith the LORD. <borne> <hast> <lewdness> <lord> <saith> <thine>

EZE-16: 59 For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with

thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking

the covenant. <breaking> <covenant> <deal> <despised> <done>

<with>

EZE-16: 60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in

the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an

everlasting covenant. <covenant> <days> <establish>

EZE-16: 61 Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed,

when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger:

and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy

covenant. <ashamed> <covenant> <daughters> <elder> <give>

EZE-16: 62 And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou

shalt know that I [am] the LORD: <covenant> <establish> <know>

EZE-16: 63 That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and

never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am

pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord

GOD. <all> <any> <because> <confounded> <done> <god> <hast>

EZE-17: 1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, <came>

EZE-17: 2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable

unto the house of Israel; <forth> <house> <israel> <man>

EZE-17: 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; A great eagle with

great wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers

colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the

cedar: <branch> <came> <cedar> <colours> <divers> <eagle>

<with>

EZE-17: 4 He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried

it into a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants.

EZE-17: 5 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it

in a fruitful field; he placed [it] by great waters, [and] set

it [as] a willow tree. <also> <field> <fruitful> <great> <land>

EZE-17: 6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low

stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof

were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches,

and shot forth sprigs. <became> <branches> <brought> <forth>

EZE-17: 7 There was also another great eagle with great wings

and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend her roots

toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he

might water it by the furrows of her plantation. <also>

<with>

EZE-17: 8 It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it

might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that

it might be a goodly vine. <bear> <branches> <bring> <forth>

EZE-17: 9 Say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Shall it prosper?

shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit

thereof, that it wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of

her spring, even without great power or many people to pluck it

up by the roots thereof. <all> <cut> <even> <fruit> <god>

EZE-17: 10 Yea, behold, [being] planted, shall it prosper? shall

it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall

wither in the furrows where it grew. <behold> <being> <east>

EZE-17: 11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-17: 12 Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what

these [things mean] ? tell [them] , Behold, the king of Babylon

is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the king thereof, and the

princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon; <babylon>
