The LORD's word came to me, saying,

2 

"Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, 'When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman;

3 

if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blows the trumpet, and warns the people;

4 

then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and doesn't heed the warning, if the sword comes, and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.

5 

He heard the sound of the trumpet, and didn't take warning. His blood will be on him; whereas if he had heeded the warning, he would have delivered his soul.

6 

But if the watchman sees the sword come, and doesn't blow the trumpet, and the people aren't warned, and the sword comes, and takes any person from among them; he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand.'

7 

"So you, son of man: I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warnings from me.

8 

When I tell the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you don't speak to warn the wicked from his way; that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at your hand.

9 

Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he doesn't turn from his way; he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.

10 

"You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: 'You say this, "Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them. How then can we live?"'

11 

Tell them, '"As I live," says the Lord God, "I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, house of Israel?"'

12 

"You, son of man, tell the children of your people, 'The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him in the day of his disobedience. And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not fall thereby in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither will he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.

13 

When I tell the righteous that he will surely live; if he trusts in his righteousness, and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but he will die in his iniquity that he has committed.

14 

Again, when I say to the wicked, "You will surely die;" if he turns from his sin, and does that which is lawful and right;

15 

if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity; he will surely live. He will not die.

16 

None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right. He will surely live.

17 

"'Yet the children of your people say, "The way of the Lord is not fair;" but as for them, their way is not fair.

18 

When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he will even die therein.

19 

When the wicked turns from his wickedness, and does that which is lawful and right, he will live thereby.

20 

Yet you say, "The way of the Lord is not fair." House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways.'"

21 

In the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, "The city has been defeated!"

22 

Now The LORD's hand had been on me in the evening, before he who had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.

23 

The LORD's word came to me, saying,

24 

"Son of man, those who inhabit the waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, 'Abraham was one, and he inherited the land; but we are many. The land is given us for inheritance.'

25 

Therefore tell them, 'Thus says the Lord God: "You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. So should you possess the land?

26 

You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor's wife. So should you possess the land?"'

27 

"You shall tell them, 'Thus says the Lord God: "As I live, surely those who are in the waste places will fall by the sword. I will give he who is in the open field to the animals to be devoured; and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves will die of the pestilence.

28 

I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment. The pride of her power will cease. The mountains of Israel will be desolate, so that no one will pass through.

29 

Then they will know that I am The LORD, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed."'

30 

"As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk about you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak to one another, everyone to his brother, saying, 'Please come and hear what the word is that comes out from The LORD.'

31 

They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but don't do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.

32 

Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they don't do them.

33 

"When this comes to pass, (behold, it comes), then they will know that a prophet has been among them."

1 

The LORD's word came to me, saying,

2 

"Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and tell them, even the shepherds, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Shouldn't the shepherds feed the sheep?

3 

You eat the fat. You clothe yourself with the wool. You kill the fatlings, but you don't feed the sheep.

4 

You haven't strengthened the diseased. You haven't healed that which was sick. You haven't bound up that which was broken. You haven't brought back that which was driven away. You haven't sought that which was lost, but you have ruled over them with force and with rigor.

5 

They were scattered, because there was no shepherd. They became food to all the animals of the field, and were scattered.

6 

My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill. Yes, my sheep were scattered on all the surface of the earth. There was no one who searched or sought."

7 

"'Therefore, you shepherds, hear The LORD's word:

8 

"As I live," says the Lord God, "surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the animals of the field, because there was no shepherd. My shepherds didn't search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and didn't feed my sheep."

9 

Therefore, you shepherds, hear The LORD's word:

10 

Thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I am against the shepherds. I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep. The shepherds won't feed themselves any more. I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them."

11 

"'For thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.

12 

As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so will I seek out my sheep. I will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

13 

I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

14 

I will feed them with good pasture; and their fold will be on the mountains of the height of Israel. There they will lie down in a good fold. They will feed on fat pasture on the mountains of Israel.

15 

I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down," says the Lord God.

16 

"I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong. I will feed them in justice."'

17 

"As for you, O my flock, thus says the Lord God: 'Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male goats.

18 

Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? And to have drunk of the clear waters, but must you foul the residue with your feet?

19 

As for my sheep, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet.'

20 

"Therefore thus says the Lord the LORD to them: 'Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.

21 

Because you thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, until you have scattered them abroad;

22 

therefore will I save my flock, and they will no more be a prey. I will judge between sheep and sheep.

23 

I will set up one shepherd over them, and he will feed them, even my servant David. He will feed them, and he will be their shepherd.

24 

I, The LORD, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them. I, The LORD, have spoken it.

25 

"'I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil animals to cease out of the land. They will dwell securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.

26 

I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing. I will cause the shower to come down in its season. There will be showers of blessing.

27 

The tree of the field will yield its fruit, and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure in their land. Then they will know that I am The LORD, when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made slaves of them.

28 

They will no more be a prey to the nations, neither will the animals of the earth devour them; but they will dwell securely, and no one will make them afraid.

29 

I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they will no more be consumed with famine in the land, and not bear the shame of the nations any more.

30 

They will know that I, The LORD, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says the Lord God.

31 

You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God,' says the Lord God."

1 

Moreover The LORD's word came to me, saying,

2 

"Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

3 

and tell it, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you. I will make you a desolation and an astonishment.

4 

I will lay your cities waste, and you will be desolate. Then you will know that I am The LORD.

5 

"'"Because you have had a perpetual hostility, and have given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end;

6 

therefore, as I live," says the Lord God, "I will prepare you for blood, and blood will pursue you. Since you have not hated blood, therefore blood will pursue you.

7 

Thus will I make Mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation. I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.

8 

I will fill its mountains with its slain. The slain with the sword will fall in your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses.

9 

I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am The LORD.

10 

"'"Because you have said, 'These two nations and these two countries will be mine, and we will possess it;' whereas the LORD was there:

11 

therefore, as I live," says the Lord God, "I will do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have shown out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them when I judge you.

12 

You will know that I, The LORD, have heard all your insults which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, 'They have been laid desolate. They have been given us to devour.'

13 

You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me. I have heard it."

14 

Thus says the Lord God: "When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.

15 

As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so will I do to you. You will be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it. Then they will know that I am The LORD.'"

1 

You, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, "You mountains of Israel, hear The LORD's word.

2 

Thus says the Lord God: 'Because the enemy has said against you, "Aha!" and, "The ancient high places are ours in possession!"'

3 

therefore prophesy, and say, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession to the residue of the nations, and you are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people;"

4 

therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God: Thus says the Lord the LORD to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which have become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are all around;

5 

therefore thus says the Lord God: "Surely in the fire of my jealousy I have spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, that have appointed my land to themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to cast it out for a prey."'

6 

Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and tell the mountains, the hills, the watercourses and the valleys, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the shame of the nations."

7 

Therefore thus says the Lord God: "I have sworn, 'Surely the nations that are around you will bear their shame.'

8 

"'"But you, mountains of Israel, you shall shoot out your branches, and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they are at hand to come.

9 

For, behold, I am for you, and I will come to you, and you will be tilled and sown.

10 

I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, even all of it. The cities will be inhabited, and the waste places will be built.

11 

I will multiply man and animal on you. They will increase and be fruitful. I will cause you to be inhabited as you were before, and you will do better than at your beginnings. Then you will know that I am The LORD.

12 

Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, even my people Israel. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance, and you will never again bereave them of their children."

13 

"'Thus says the Lord God: "Because they say to you, 'You are a devourer of men, and have been a bereaver of your nation;'

14 

therefore you shall devour men no more, and not bereave your nation any more," says the Lord God.

15 

"I won't let you hear the shame of the nations any more. You won't bear the reproach of the peoples any more, and you won't cause your nation to stumble any more," says the Lord God.'"

16 

Moreover The LORD's word came to me, saying,

17 

"Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their ways and by their deeds. Their way before me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.

18 

Therefore I poured out my wrath on them for the blood which they had poured out on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols.

19 

I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries. I judged them according to their way and according to their deeds.

20 

When they came to the nations where they went, they profaned my holy name; in that men said of them, 'These are The LORD's people, and have left his land.'

21 

But I had respect for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations where they went.

22 

"Therefore tell the house of Israel, 'Thus says the Lord God: "I don't do this for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you went.

23 

I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am The LORD," says the Lord God, "when I am proven holy in you before their eyes.

24 

"'"For I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.

25 

I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness, and from all your idols.

26 

I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

27 

I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes. You will keep my ordinances and do them.

28 

You will dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers. You will be my people, and I will be your God.

29 

I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain, and will multiply it, and lay no famine on you.

30 

I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field, that you may receive no more the reproach of famine among the nations.

31 

"'"Then you will remember your evil ways, and your deeds that were not good; and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.

32 

I don't do this for your sake," says the Lord God. "Let it be known to you: be ashamed and confounded for your ways, house of Israel."

33 

"'Thus says the Lord God: "In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited and the waste places will be built.

34 

The land that was desolate will be tilled instead of being a desolation in the sight of all who passed by.

35 

They will say, 'This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden. The waste, desolate, and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.'

36 

Then the nations that are left around you will know that I, The LORD, have built the ruined places, and planted that which was desolate. I, The LORD, have spoken it, and I will do it."

37 

"'Thus says the Lord God: "For this, moreover, will I be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them: I will increase them with men like a flock.

38 

As the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so the waste cities will be filled with flocks of men. Then they will know that I am The LORD.'"

1 

The LORD's hand was on me, and he brought me out in The LORD's Spirit, and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones.

2 

He caused me to pass by them all around: and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and behold, they were very dry.

3 

He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?"I answered, "Lord God, you know."

4 

Again he said to me, "Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, 'You dry bones, hear The LORD's word.

5 

Thus says the Lord the LORD to these bones: "Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you will live.

6 

I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you will live. Then you will know that I am The LORD."'"

7 

So I prophesied as I was commanded. As I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, there was an earthquake. Then the bones came together, bone to its bone.

8 

I saw, and, behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them.

9 

Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and tell the wind, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live."'"

10 

So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up on their feet, an exceedingly great army.

11 

Then he said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, 'Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost. We are completely cut off.'

12 

Therefore prophesy, and tell them, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel.

13 

You will know that I am The LORD, when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, my people.

14 

I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live. Then I will place you in your own land; and you will know that I, The LORD, have spoken it and performed it," says The LORD.'"

15 

The LORD's word came again to me, saying,

16 

"You, son of man, take one stick, and write on it, 'For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions.' Then take another stick, and write on it, 'For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions.'

17 

Then join them for yourself to one another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.

18 

"When the children of your people speak to you, saying, 'Won't you show us what you mean by these?'

19 

tell them, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand.

20 

The sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes."'

21 

Say to them, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, where they have gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land.

22 

I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. One king will be king to them all. They will no longer be two nations. They won't be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.

23 

They won't defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. So they will be my people, and I will be their God.

24 

"'"My servant David will be king over them. They all will have one shepherd. They will also walk in my ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them.

25 

They will dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers lived. They will dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children's children, forever. David my servant will be their prince for ever.

26 

Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them. It will be an everlasting covenant with them. I will place them, multiply them, and will set my sanctuary among them forever more.

27 

My tent also will be with them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

28 

The nations will know that I am the LORD who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is among them forever more."'"

1 

The LORD's word came to me, saying,

2 

"Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

3 

and say, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I am against you, Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal.

4 

I will turn you around, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords;

5 

Persia, Cush, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet;

6 

Gomer, and all his hordes; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his hordes; even many peoples with you.

7 

"'"Be prepared, yes, prepare yourself, you, and all your companies who are assembled to you, and be a guard to them.

8 

After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, on the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste; but it is brought out of the peoples, and they will dwell securely, all of them.

9 

You will ascend. You will come like a storm. You will be like a cloud to cover the land, you, and all your hordes, and many peoples with you."

10 

"'Thus says the Lord God: "It will happen in that day that things will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.

11 

You will say, 'I will go up to the land of unwalled villages. I will go to those who are at rest, who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,

12 

to take the plunder and to take prey; to turn your hand against the waste places that are inhabited, and against the people who are gathered out of the nations, who have gotten livestock and goods, who dwell in the middle of the earth.'

13 

Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions of it, will ask you, 'Have you come to take the plunder? Have you assembled your company to take the prey, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?'"'

14 

"Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and tell Gog, 'Thus says the Lord God: "In that day when my people Israel dwells securely, will you not know it?

15 

You will come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you, and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army.

16 

You will come up against my people Israel, as a cloud to cover the land. It will happen in the latter days, that I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when I am sanctified in you, Gog, before their eyes."

17 

"'Thus says the Lord God: "Are you he of whom I spoke in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for years that I would bring you against them?

18 

It will happen in that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel," says the Lord God, "that my wrath will come up into my nostrils.

19 

For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath I have spoken. Surely in that day there will be a great shaking in the land of Israel;

20 

so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, all creeping things who creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the surface of the earth will shake at my presence. Then the mountains will be thrown down, the steep places will fall, and every wall will fall to the ground.

21 

I will call for a sword against him to all my mountains," says the Lord God. "Every man's sword will be against his brother.

22 

I will enter into judgment with him with pestilence and with blood. I will rain on him, and on his hordes, and on the many peoples who are with him, an overflowing shower, with great hailstones, fire, and sulfur.

23 

I will magnify myself, and sanctify myself, and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then they will know that I am The LORD."'

1 

"You, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I am against you, Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal.

2 

I will turn you around, and will lead you on, and will cause you to come up from the uttermost parts of the north; and I will bring you onto the mountains of Israel.

3 

I will strike your bow out of your left hand, and will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand.

4 

You will fall on the mountains of Israel, you, and all your hordes, and the peoples who are with you. I will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the animals of the field to be devoured.

5 

You will fall on the open field; for I have spoken it," says the Lord God.

6 

"I will send a fire on Magog, and on those who dwell securely in the islands. Then they will know that I am The LORD.

7 

"'"I will make my holy name known among my people Israel. I won't allow my holy name to be profaned any more. Then the nations will know that I am The LORD, the Holy One in Israel.

8 

Behold, it comes, and it will be done," says the Lord God. "This is the day about which I have spoken.

9 

"'"Those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out, and will make fires of the weapons and burn them, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the war clubs and the spears, and they will make fires with them for seven years;

10 

so that they will take no wood out of the field, and not cut down any out of the forests; for they will make fires with the weapons. They will plunder those who plundered them, and rob those who robbed them," says the Lord God.

11 

"'"It will happen in that day, that I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the valley of those who pass through on the east of the sea; and it will stop those who pass through. They will bury Gog and all his multitude there; and they will call it 'The valley of Hamon Gog'.

12 

"'"The house of Israel will be burying them for seven months, that they may cleanse the land.

13 

Yes, all the people of the land will bury them; and they will become famous in the day that I will be glorified," says the Lord God.

"'"They will set apart men of continual employment, who will pass through the land. Those who pass through will go with those who bury those who remain on the surface of the land, to cleanse it. After the end of seven months they will search.

15 

Those who pass through the land will pass through; and when anyone sees a man's bone, then will he set up a sign by it, until the undertakers have buried it in the valley of Hamon Gog.

16 

Hamonah will also be the name of a city. Thus will they cleanse the land."'

"You, son of man, thus says the Lord God: 'Speak to the birds of every sort, and to every animal of the field, "Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat meat and drink blood.

18 

You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

19 

You shall eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.

20 

You shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war," says the Lord God.'

21 

"I will set my glory among the nations. Then all the nations will see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid on them.

22 

So the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God, from that day and forward.

23 

The nations will know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they trespassed against me, and I hid my face from them; so I gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they all fell by the sword.

24 

I did to them according to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions. I hid my face from them.

25 

"Therefore thus says the Lord God: 'Now I will reverse the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel. I will be jealous for my holy name.

26 

They will bear their shame, and all their trespasses by which they have trespassed against me, when they dwell securely in their land, and no one will make them afraid,

27 

when I have brought them back from the peoples, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations.

28 

They will know that I am the LORD their God, in that I caused them to go into captivity among the nations, and have gathered them to their own land. Then I will leave none of them captive any more.

29 

I won't hide my face from them any more; for I have poured out my Spirit on the house of Israel,' says the Lord God."
