Ezekiel
1-4
Eze
1:1 Now it happened in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month,
in the fifth day
of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that
the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
Eze
1:2 In the fifth day
of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's
captivity,
Eze
1:3 the word of Yahweh came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son
of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the
hand of Yahweh was there on him.
Eze
1:4 I looked, and behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a
great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness around it, and
out of its midst as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the
fire.
Eze
1:5 Out of its midst came the likeness of four living creatures.
This was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.
Eze
1:6 Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.
Eze
1:7 Their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was
like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like burnished
brass.
Eze
1:8 They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four
sides; and they four had their faces and their wings thus:
Eze
1:9 their wings were joined one to another; they didn't turn when
they went; each one went straight forward.
Eze
1:10 As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man;
and they four had the face of a lion on the right side; and they four
had the face of an ox on the left side; they four had also the face
of an eagle.
Eze
1:11 Their faces and their wings were separate above; two wings
of each one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
Eze
1:12 Each one went straight forward: where the spirit was to go,
they went; they didn't turn when they went.
Eze
1:13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance
was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches: the
fire went up and down among the living
creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth
lightning.
Eze
1:14 The living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a
flash of lightning.
Eze
1:15 Now as I saw the living creatures, behold, one wheel on the
earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces of it.
Eze
1:16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl:
and they four had one likeness; and their appearance and their work
was as it were a wheel within a wheel.
Eze
1:17 When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn't
turn when they went.
Eze
1:18 As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and they four
had their rims full of eyes all around.
Eze
1:19 When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them;
and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the
wheels were lifted up.
Eze
1:20 Wherever the spirit was to go, they went; there was the spirit
to go: and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of
the living creature was in the wheels.
Eze
1:21 When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood;
and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted
up beside them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the
wheels.
Eze
1:22 Over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of
an expanse, like the awesome crystal to look on, stretched forth over
their heads above.
Eze
1:23 Under the expanse were their wings straight, the one toward the
other: each one had two which covered on this side, and every one had
two which covered on that side, their bodies.
Eze
1:24 When they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise
of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult
like the noise of an army: when they stood, they let down their
wings.
Eze
1:25 There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads:
when they stood, they let down their wings.
Eze
1:26 Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of
a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and on the likeness
of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on it above.
Eze
1:27 I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire
within it all around, from the appearance of his waist and upward;
and from the appearance of his waist and downward I saw as it were
the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him.
Eze
1:28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of
rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. This was
the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh. When I saw it,
I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.
Eze
2:1 He said to me, Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak
with you.
Eze
2:2 The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my
feet; and I heard him who spoke to me.
Eze
2:3 He said to me, Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel,
to nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against me: they
and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day.
Eze
2:4 The children are impudent and stiff-hearted: I am sending you to
them; and you shall tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh.
Eze
2:5 They, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear,
(for they are a rebellious house), yet shall know that there has been
a prophet among them.
Eze
2:6 You, son of man, don't be afraid of them, neither be afraid of
their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you do dwell
among scorpions: don't be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at
their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
Eze
2:7 You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or
whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.
Eze
2:8 But you, son of man, hear what I tell you; don't be you
rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that
which I give you.
Eze
2:9 When I looked, behold, a hand was put forth to me; and, behold,
a scroll of a book was therein;
Eze
2:10 He spread it before me: and it was written within and without;
and there were written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
Eze
3:1 He said to me, Son of man, eat that which you find; eat this
scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.
Eze
3:2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll.
Eze
3:3 He said to me, Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill
your bowels with this scroll that I give you. Then did I eat it; and
it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
Eze
3:4 He said to me, Son of man, go, get you to the house of Israel,
and speak with my words to them.
Eze
3:5 For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a
hard language, but to the house of Israel;
Eze
3:6 not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language,
whose words you can not understand. Surely, if I sent you to them,
they would listen to you.
Eze
3:7 But the house of Israel will not listen to you; for they will
not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are of hard forehead
and of a stiff heart.
Eze
3:8 Behold, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your
forehead hard against their foreheads.
Eze
3:9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead: don't
be afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they
are a rebellious house.
Eze
3:10 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall
speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.
Eze
3:11 Go, get you to them of the captivity, to the children of your
people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh;
whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
Eze
3:12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice
of a great rushing, saying,
Blessed be the glory of Yahweh from his place.
Eze
3:13 I heard
the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one
another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a
great rushing.
Eze
3:14 So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in
bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; and the hand of Yahweh was
strong on me.
Eze
3:15 Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel Aviv, that lived by
the river Chebar, and to where they lived; and I sat there
overwhelmed among them seven days.
Eze
3:16 It happened at the end of seven days, that the word of Yahweh
came to me, saying,
Eze
3:17 Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel:
therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
Eze
3:18 When I tell the wicked, You shall surely die; and you give him
no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save
his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his
blood will I require at your hand.
Eze
3:19 Yet if you warn the wicked, and he doesn't turn from his
wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity;
but you have delivered your soul.
Eze
3:20 Again, when a righteous man does turn from his righteousness,
and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall
die: because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin,
and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered;
but his blood will I require at your hand.
Eze
3:21 Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous
not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took
warning; and you have delivered your soul.
Eze
3:22 The hand of Yahweh was there on me; and he said to me, Arise,
go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with you.
Eze
3:23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and behold, the
glory of Yahweh stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river
Chebar; and I fell on my face.
Eze
3:24 Then the Spirit entered into me, and set me on my feet; and he
spoke with me, and said to me, Go, shut yourself within your house.
Eze
3:25 But you, son of man, behold, they shall lay bands on you, and
shall bind you with them, and you shall not go out among them:
Eze
3:26 and I will make your tongue cleave to the roof of your mouth,
that you shall be mute, and shall not be to them a reprover; for they
are a rebellious house.
Eze
3:27 But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you
shall tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: He who hears, let him
hear; and he who forbears, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious
house.
Eze
4:1 You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before you, and
portray on it a city, even Jerusalem:
Eze
4:2 and lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast
up a mound against it; set camps also against it, and plant battering
rams against it all around.
Eze
4:3 Take for yourself an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron
between you and the city: and set your face toward it, and it shall
be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign
to the house of Israel.
Eze
4:4 Moreover lie you on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the
house of Israel on it; according to
the number of the days that you shall lie on it, you shall bear their
iniquity.
Eze
4:5 For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be to you a
number of days, even three hundred ninety days: so you shall bear the
iniquity of the house of Israel.
Eze
4:6 Again, when you have accomplished these, you shall lie on your
right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah: forty
days, each day for a year, have I appointed it to you.
Eze
4:7 You shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your
arm uncovered; and you shall prophesy against it.
Eze
4:8 Behold, I lay bands on you, and you shall not turn you from one
side to the other, until you have accomplished the days of your
siege.
Eze
4:9 Take for yourself also wheat, and barley, and beans, and
lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make
you bread of it; according to
the number of the days that you shall lie on your side, even three
hundred ninety days, you shall eat of it.
Eze
4:10 Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty
shekels a day: from time to time you shall eat it.
Eze
4:11 You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from
time to time you shall drink.
Eze
4:12 You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in
their sight with dung that comes out of man.
Eze
4:13 Yahweh said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their
bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them.
Eze
4:14 Then said I, Ah Lord Yahweh! behold, my soul has not been
polluted; for from my youth up even until now have I not eaten of
that which dies of itself, or is torn of animals; neither came there
abominable flesh into my mouth.
Eze
4:15 Then he said to me, Behold, I have given you cow's dung for
man's dung, and you shall prepare your bread thereon.
Eze
4:16 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the
staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and
with fearfulness; and they shall drink water by measure, and in
dismay:
Eze
4:17 that they may want bread and water, and be dismayed one with
another, and pine away in their iniquity.

is
a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different
perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the
World English Bible (the least literal-black
text)
for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English
Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue
text)
to make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is
the most literal translation-
red text)
at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make
you think about what
the
Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial
manner.

remembered; but his blood will
I require at your hand.

The
Composite
Bible
is
a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different
perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the
World English Bible (the least literal-black
text)
for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English
Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue
text)to
make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the
most literal translation-
red text)
at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make
you think about what
the
Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial
manner.
