EZE-17: 13 And hath taken of the king's seed, and made a

covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also

taken the mighty of the land: <also> <covenant> <hath> <him>

EZE-17: 14 That the kingdom might be base, that it might not

lift itself up, [but] that by keeping of his covenant it might

stand. <base> <covenant> <itself> <keeping> <kingdom> <lift>

EZE-17: 15 But he rebelled against him in sending his

ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much

people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such

[things] ? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?

EZE-17: 16 [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place

[where] the king [dwelleth] that made him king, whose oath he

despised, and whose covenant he brake, [even] with him in the

midst of Babylon he shall die. <babylon> <brake> <covenant>

EZE-17: 17 Neither shall Pharaoh with [his] mighty army and

great company make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and

building forts, to cut off many persons: <army> <building>

<with>

EZE-17: 18 Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant,

when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these

[things] , he shall not escape. <all> <breaking> <covenant>

EZE-17: 19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; [As] I live,

surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he

hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head.

EZE-17: 20 And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be

taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will

plead with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed

against me. <against> <babylon> <bring> <hath> <him> <net>

EZE-17: 21 And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall

by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward all

winds: and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken [it] .

EZE-17: 22 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the

highest branch of the high cedar, and will set [it] ; I will

crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will

plant [it] upon an high mountain and eminent: <also> <branch>

EZE-17: 23 In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant

it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a

goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing;

in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell. <all>

EZE-17: 24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the

LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree,

have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to

flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done [it] . <all>

EZE-18: 1 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,

EZE-18: 2 What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the

land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and

the children's teeth are set on edge? <are> <concerning> <eaten>

EZE-18: 3 [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have

[occasion] any more to use this proverb in Israel. <any> <god>

EZE-18: 4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father,

so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it

shall die. <all> <also> <are> <behold> <die> <father> <mine>

EZE-18: 5 But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and

right, <do> <just> <lawful> <man> <right> <which>

EZE-18: 6 [And] hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath

lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither

hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a

menstruous woman, <come> <defiled> <eaten> <eyes> <hath> <house>

EZE-18: 7 And hath not oppressed any, [but] hath restored to the

debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his

bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;

EZE-18: 8 He [that] hath not given forth upon usury, neither

hath taken any increase, [that] hath withdrawn his hand from

iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man, <any>

EZE-18: 9 Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments,

to deal truly; he [is] just, he shall surely live, saith the

Lord GOD. <deal> <god> <hath> <judgments> <just> <kept> <live>

EZE-18: 10 If he beget a son [that is] a robber, a shedder of

blood, and [that] doeth the like to [any] one of these [things] ,

EZE-18: 11 And that doeth not any of those [duties] , but even

hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,

EZE-18: 12 Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by

violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his

eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination, <committed>

EZE-18: 13 Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase:

shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these

abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.

EZE-18: 14 Now, lo, [if] he beget a son, that seeth all his

father's sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not

such like, <all> <beget> <considereth> <doeth> <done> <hath>

EZE-18: 15 [That] hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither

hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,

hath not defiled his neighbour's wife, <defiled> <eaten> <eyes>

<wife>

EZE-18: 16 Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden the

pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, [but] hath given his

bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment,

EZE-18: 17 [That] hath taken off his hand from the poor, [that]

hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments,

hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity

of his father, he shall surely live. <die> <executed> <father>

EZE-18: 18 [As for] his father, because he cruelly oppressed,

spoiled his brother by violence, and did [that] which [is] not

good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity.

EZE-18: 19 Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity

of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and

right, [and] hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he

shall surely live. <all> <bear> <done> <doth> <father> <hath>

EZE-18: 20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall

not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father

bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous

shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be

upon him. <bear> <die> <father> <him> <iniquity> <neither>

EZE-18: 21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he

hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is

lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. <all>

EZE-18: 22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they

shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he

hath done he shall live. <all> <committed> <done> <hath> <him>

EZE-18: 23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should

die? saith the Lord GOD: [and] not that he should return from

his ways, and live? <all> <any> <die> <god> <have> <live> <lord>

EZE-18: 24 But when the righteous turneth away from his

righteousness, and committeth iniquity, [and] doeth according to

all the abominations that the wicked [man] doeth, shall he live?

All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned:

in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he

hath sinned, in them shall he die. <all> <away> <committeth>

EZE-18: 25 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear

now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways

unequal? <are> <equal> <hear> <house> <israel> <lord> <now>

EZE-18: 26 When a righteous [man] turneth away from his

righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for

his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. <away> <committeth>

EZE-18: 27 Again, when the wicked [man] turneth away from his

wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is

lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. <again> <alive>

EZE-18: 28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his

transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he

shall not die. <all> <away> <because> <committed> <considereth>

EZE-18: 29 Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is

not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not

your ways unequal? <are> <equal> <house> <israel> <lord> <saith>

EZE-18: 30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every

one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn

[yourselves] from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not

be your ruin. <all> <every> <god> <house> <iniquity> <israel>

EZE-18: 31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby

ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit:

for why will ye die, O house of Israel? <all> <away> <cast>

EZE-18: 32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth,

saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn [yourselves] , and live ye.

EZE-19: 1 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of

Israel, <israel> <lamentation> <moreover> <princes> <take>

EZE-19: 2 And say, What [is] thy mother? A lioness: she lay down

among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions. <among>

EZE-19: 3 And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a

young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.

EZE-19: 4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their

pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.

EZE-19: 5 Now when she saw that she had waited, [and] her hope

was lost, then she took another of her whelps, [and] made him a

young lion. <another> <had> <him> <hope> <lion> <lost> <made>

EZE-19: 6 And he went up and down among the lions, he became a

young lion, and learned to catch the prey, [and] devoured men.

EZE-19: 7 And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste

their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof,

by the noise of his roaring. <cities> <desolate> <fulness>

<waste>

EZE-19: 8 Then the nations set against him on every side from

the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in

their pit. <against> <every> <him> <nations> <net> <on> <over>

EZE-19: 9 And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to

the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice

should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel. <babylon>

EZE-19: 10 Thy mother [is] like a vine in thy blood, planted by

the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of

many waters. <blood> <branches> <fruitful> <full> <like> <many>

EZE-19: 11 And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that

bare rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches,

and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her

branches. <among> <appeared> <bare> <branches> <exalted> <had>

EZE-19: 12 But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to

the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong

rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them. <broken>

EZE-19: 13 And now she [is] planted in the wilderness, in a dry

and thirsty ground. <dry> <ground> <now> <planted> <she>

EZE-19: 14 And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches,

[which] hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod

[to be] a sceptre to rule. This [is] a lamentation, and shall be

for a lamentation. <branches> <devoured> <fire> <fruit> <gone>

EZE-20: 1 And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth

[month] , the tenth [day] of the month, [that] certain of the

elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat before me.

EZE-20: 2 Then came the word of the LORD unto me, saying, <came>

EZE-20: 3 Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say

unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye come to inquire of

me? [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of

by you. <are> <come> <elders> <god> <inquire> <inquired>

<will>

EZE-20: 4 Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge

[them] ? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers:

EZE-20: 5 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day

when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of

the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land

of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I [am]

the LORD your God; <chose> <day> <egypt> <god> <hand> <house>

EZE-20: 6 In the day [that] I lifted up mine hand unto them, to

bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had

espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which [is] the

glory of all lands: <all> <bring> <day> <egypt> <espied>

EZE-20: 7 Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the

abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the

idols of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God. <away> <cast> <defile>

EZE-20: 8 But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken

unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of

their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I

said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger

against them in the midst of the land of Egypt. <against>

EZE-20: 9 But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not

be polluted before the heathen, among whom they [were] , in

whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them

forth out of the land of Egypt. <among> <before> <bringing>

EZE-20: 10 Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land

of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness. <brought>

EZE-20: 11 And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my

judgments, which [if] a man do, he shall even live in them. <do>

<which>

EZE-20: 12 Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign

between me and them, that they might know that I [am] the LORD

that sanctify them. <also> <between> <gave> <know> <lord>

EZE-20: 13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the

wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my

judgments, which [if] a man do, he shall even live in them; and

my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out

my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them. <against>

EZE-20: 14 But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not

be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them

out. <before> <brought> <heathen> <polluted> <sake> <should>

EZE-20: 15 Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the

wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I

had given [them] , flowing with milk and honey, which [is] the

glory of all lands; <all> <also> <bring> <flowing> <given>

EZE-20: 16 Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in

my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went

after their idols. <after> <because> <despised> <heart> <idols>

EZE-20: 17 Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying

them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.

EZE-20: 18 But I said unto their children in the wilderness,

Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe

their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols:

EZE-20: 19 I [am] the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and

keep my judgments, and do them; <do> <god> <judgments> <keep>

EZE-20: 20 And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign

between me and you, that ye may know that I [am] the LORD your

God. <between> <god> <hallow> <know> <lord> <may> <sabbaths>

EZE-20: 21 Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me:

they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do

them, which [if] a man do, he shall even live in them; they

polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon

them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.

EZE-20: 22 Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my

name's sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the

heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth. <brought> <forth>

EZE-20: 23 I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the

wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and

disperse them through the countries; <also> <among> <countries>

EZE-20: 24 Because they had not executed my judgments, but had

despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their

eyes were after their fathers' idols. <after> <because>

EZE-20: 25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes [that were] not

good, and judgments whereby they should not live; <also> <gave>

EZE-20: 26 And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they

caused to pass through [the fire] all that openeth the womb,

that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know

that I [am] the LORD. <all> <caused> <desolate> <end> <fire>

EZE-20: 27 Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel,

and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Yet in this your

fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a

trespass against me. <against> <blasphemed> <committed>

<your>

EZE-20: 28 [For] when I had brought them into the land, [for]

the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they

saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered

there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation

of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and

poured out there their drink offerings. <all> <also> <brought>

EZE-20: 29 Then I said unto them, What [is] the high place

whereunto ye go? And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this

day. <bamah> <called> <day> <go> <high> <name> <place> <said>

EZE-20: 30 Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith

the Lord GOD; Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers?

and commit ye whoredom after their abominations? <after> <are>

EZE-20: 31 For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons

to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your

idols, even unto this day: and shall I be inquired of by you, O

house of Israel? [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be

inquired of by you. <all> <day> <even> <fire> <gifts> <god>

EZE-20: 32 And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at

all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of

the countries, to serve wood and stone. <all> <cometh>

EZE-20: 33 [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty

hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out,

will I rule over you: <arm> <fury> <god> <hand> <live> <lord>

EZE-20: 34 And I will bring you out from the people, and will

gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a

mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured

out. <are> <arm> <bring> <countries> <fury> <gather> <hand>

EZE-20: 35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the

people, and there will I plead with you face to face. <bring>

EZE-20: 36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness

of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord

GOD. <egypt> <fathers> <god> <land> <like> <lord> <plead>

EZE-20: 37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I

will bring you into the bond of the covenant: <bond> <bring>

EZE-20: 38 And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and

them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of

the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into

the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

EZE-20: 39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord

GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter [also] ,

if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no

more with your gifts, and with your idols. <also> <every>

EZE-20: 40 For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the

height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house

of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I

accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the

firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things. <all>

EZE-20: 41 I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I

bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the

countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be

sanctified in you before the heathen. <been> <before> <bring>

<your>

EZE-20: 42 And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall

bring you into the land of Israel, into the country [for] the

which I lifted up mine hand to give it to your fathers. <bring>

EZE-20: 43 And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your

doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall loathe

yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have

committed. <all> <been> <committed> <defiled> <doings> <evils>

EZE-20: 44 And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have

wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your

wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of

Israel, saith the Lord GOD. <corrupt> <doings> <god> <have>

EZE-20: 45 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-20: 46 Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop

[thy word] toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of

the south field; <against> <drop> <face> <field> <forest> <man>

EZE-20: 47 And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of

the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire

in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every

dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces

from the south to the north shall be burned therein. <all>

<word>

EZE-20: 48 And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled

it: it shall not be quenched. <all> <flesh> <have> <kindled>

EZE-20: 49 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not

speak parables? <doth> <god> <lord> <parables> <said> <say>

EZE-21: 1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, <came>

EZE-21: 2 Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop

[thy word] toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land

of Israel, <against> <drop> <face> <holy> <israel> <jerusalem>

EZE-21: 3 And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD;

Behold, I [am] against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of

his sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the

wicked. <against> <behold> <cut> <draw> <forth> <israel> <land>

EZE-21: 4 Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the

righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out

of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:

EZE-21: 5 That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn

forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.

EZE-21: 6 Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of

[thy] loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.

EZE-21: 7 And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore

sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because

it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be

feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be

weak [as] water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass,

saith the Lord GOD. <all> <answer> <because> <behold> <brought>

EZE-21: 8 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

EZE-21: 9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD;

Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished: <also>

EZE-21: 10 It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is

furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it

contemneth the rod of my son, [as] every tree. <contemneth>

EZE-21: 11 And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be

handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give

it into the hand of the slayer. <furbished> <give> <given>

EZE-21: 12 Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my

people, it [shall be] upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by

reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore

upon [thy] thigh. <all> <cry> <howl> <israel> <man> <people>

<thigh>

EZE-21: 13 Because [it is] a trial, and what if [the sword]

contemn even the rod? it shall be no [more] , saith the Lord GOD.

EZE-21: 14 Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite

[thine] hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third

time, the sword of the slain: it [is] the sword of the great

[men that are] slain, which entereth into their privy chambers.

EZE-21: 15 I have set the point of the sword against all their

gates, that [their] heart may faint, and [their] ruins be

multiplied: ah! [it is] made bright, [it is] wrapped up for the

slaughter. <against> <all> <bright> <faint> <gates> <have>

EZE-21: 16 Go thee one way or other, [either] on the right hand,

[or] on the left, whithersoever thy face [is] set. <either>

EZE-21: 17 I will also smite mine hands together, and I will

cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said [it] . <also>

EZE-21: 18 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,

EZE-21: 19 Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that

the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come

forth out of one land: and choose thou a place, choose [it] at

the head of the way to the city. <also> <appoint> <babylon>

EZE-21: 20 Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of

the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.

EZE-21: 21 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the

way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made

[his] arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the

liver. <arrows> <babylon> <bright> <consulted> <divination>
