King James Version
1. Moreover He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel." 2. So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat that scroll. 3. And He said to me, "Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you." So I ate, and it was in my mouth like honey in sweetness. 4. Then He said to me: "Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them. 5. "For you are not sent to a people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, but to the house of Israel, 6. "not to many people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, had I sent you to them, they would have listened to you. 7. "But the house of Israel will not listen to you, because they will not listen to Me; for all the house of Israel are impudent and hard–hearted. 8. "Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and your forehead strong against their foreheads. 9. "Like adamant stone, harder than flint, I have made your forehead; do not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house." 10. Moreover He said to me: "Son of man, receive into your heart all My words that I speak to you, and hear with your ears. 11. "And go, get to the captives, to the children of your people, and speak to them and tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD,’ whether they hear, or whether they refuse." 12. Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a great thunderous voice: "Blessed is the glory of the LORD from His place!" 13. I also heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, and a great thunderous noise. 14. So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me. 15. Then I came to the captives at Tel Abib, who dwelt by the River Chebar; and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days. 16. Now it came to pass at the end of seven days that the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 17. "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me: 18. "When I say to 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, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. 19. "Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul. 20. "Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand. 21. "Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul." 22. Then the hand of the LORD was upon me there, and He said to me, "Arise, go out into the plain, and there I shall talk with you." 23. So I arose and went out into the plain, and behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, like the glory which I saw by the River Chebar; and I fell on my face. 24. Then the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and spoke with me and said to me: "Go, shut yourself inside your house. 25. "And you, O son of man, surely they will put ropes on you and bind you with them, so that you cannot go out among them. 26. "I will make your tongue cling to the roof of your mouth, so that you shall be mute and not be one to rebuke them, for they are a rebellious house. 27. "But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD.’ He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.
1. "You also, son of man, take a clay tablet and lay it before you, and portray on it a city, Jerusalem. 2. "Lay siege against it, build a siege wall against it, and heap up a mound against it; set camps against it also, and place battering rams against it all around. 3. "Moreover take for yourself an iron plate, and set it as an iron wall between you and the city. Set your face against it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This will be a sign to the house of Israel. 4. "Lie also on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it. According to the number of the days that you lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity. 5. "For I have laid on you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days; so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. 6. "And when you have completed them, lie again on your right side; then you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days. I have laid on you a day for each year. 7. "Therefore you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem; your arm shall be uncovered, and you shall prophesy against it. 8. "And surely I will restrain you so that you cannot turn from one side to another till you have ended the days of your siege. 9. "Also take for yourself wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt; put them into one vessel, and make bread of them for yourself. During the number of days that you lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days, you shall eat it. 10. "And your food which you eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day; from time to time you shall eat it. 11. "You shall also drink water by measure, one–sixth of a hin; from time to time you shall drink. 12. "And you shall eat it as barley cakes; and bake it using fuel of human waste in their sight." 13. Then the LORD said, "So shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them." 14. So I said, "Ah, Lord GOD! Indeed I have never defiled myself from my youth till now; I have never eaten what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has abominable flesh ever come into my mouth." 15. Then He said to me, "See, I am giving you cow dung instead of human waste, and you shall prepare your bread over it." 16. Moreover He said to me, "Son of man, surely I will cut off the supply of bread in Jerusalem; they shall eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and shall drink water by measure and with dread, 17. "that they may lack bread and water, and be dismayed with one another, and waste away because of their iniquity.
1. Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. 2. It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. 3. Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, "Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick." 4. When Jesus heard that , He said, "This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it." 5. Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6. So, when He heard that he was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was. 7. Then after this He said to the disciples, "Let us go to Judea again." 8. The disciples said to Him, "Rabbi, lately the Jews sought to stone You, and are You going there again?" 9. Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. 10. "But if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him." 11. These things He said, and after that He said to them, "Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up." 12. Then His disciples said, "Lord, if he sleeps he will get well." 13. However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep. 14. Then Jesus said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead. 15. "And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that you may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him." 16. Then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with Him." 17. So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days. 18. Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away. 19. And many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. 20. Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him, but Mary was sitting in the house. 21. Then Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. 22. "But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You." 23. Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again." 24. Martha said to Him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day." 25. Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26. "And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" 27. She said to Him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world." 28. And when she had said these things, she went her way and secretly called Mary her sister, saying, "The Teacher has come and is calling for you." 29. As soon as she heard that , she arose quickly and came to Him. 30. Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in the place where Martha met Him. 31. Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, "She is going to the tomb to weep there." 32. Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died."
