on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thylips, and eat not the bread of men.
18 So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning
as I was commanded.
19 And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things areto us, that thou
doest so?
20 Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
21 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary,
the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and
your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.
22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover yourlips, nor eat the bread of men.
23 And your tires shall beupon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn
nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.
24 Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this
cometh, ye shall know that I amthe Lord GOD.
25 Also, thou son of man, shall itnot bein the day when I take from them their strength, the
joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons
and their daughters,
26 Thathe that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause theeto hear itwith thine
ears?
27 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be
no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I amthe LORD.
1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them;
3 And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because
thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel,
when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity;
4 Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the east for a possession, and they shall
set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they
shall drink thy milk.
5 And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites a couchingplace for flocks:
and ye shall know that I amthe LORD.
6 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped thinehands, and stamped with the
feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel;
7 Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to
the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the
countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I amthe LORD.
8 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah islike
unto all the heathen;
9 Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which areon
his frontiers, the glory of the country, Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim,
10 Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the
Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.
11 And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I amthe LORD.
12 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking
vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut
off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall
by the sword.
14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in

Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith
the Lord GOD.
15 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken
vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy itfor the old hatred;
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines,
and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know
that I amthe LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first dayof the month, thatthe word of the
LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that wasthe
gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, nowshe is laid waste:
3 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I amagainst thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many
nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up.
4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her
dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.
5 It shall be a place forthe spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith
the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the nations.
6 And her daughters which arein the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that
I amthe LORD.
7 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a
king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and
companies, and much people.
8 He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee,
and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee.
9 And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy
towers.
10 By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake
at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into
thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.
11 With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by
the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground.
12 And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall
break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy
timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.
13 And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more
heard.
14 And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a placeto spread nets upon; thou
shalt be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
15 Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the
wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?
16 Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their
robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they
shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at everymoment, and be astonished at thee.
17 And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that
wastinhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her
inhabitants, which cause their terror to beon all that haunt it!
18 Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that arein the sea shall be
troubled at thy departure.

19 For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are
not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee;
20 When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old
time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that
go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;
21 I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt beno more: though thou be sought for, yet shalt
thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD.
1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2 Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;
3 And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea, which arta merchant of
the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I amof perfect
beauty.
4 Thy borders arein the midst of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.
5 They have made all thy shipboards of fir trees of Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon
to make masts for thee.
6 Ofthe oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; the company of the Ashurites have made thy
benches ofivory, broughtout of the isles of Chittim.
7 Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail;
blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered thee.
8 The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners: thy wise men, O Tyrus, thatwere in
thee, were thy pilots.
9 The ancients of Gebal and the wise menthereof were in thee thy calkers: all the ships of the
sea with their mariners were in thee to occupy thy merchandise.
10 They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in thine army, thy men of war: they hanged the
shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy comeliness.
11 The men of Arvad with thine army wereupon thy walls round about, and the Gammadims
were in thy towers: they hanged their shields upon thy walls round about; they have made thy
beauty perfect.
12 Tarshish wasthy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kind ofriches; with silver,
iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs.
13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they werethy merchants: they traded the persons of men and

agate.
17 Judah, and the land of Israel, they werethy merchants: they traded in thy market wheat of
Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm.
18 Damascus wasthy merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy making, for the multitude
of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool.
