Ezekiel 11

The Message Bible MSG

1 Then the Spirit picked me up and took me to the gate of the Temple that faces east. There were twenty-five men standing at the gate. I recognized the leaders, Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah.

2 God said, "Son of man, these are the men who draw up blueprints for sin, who think up new programs for evil in this city.

3 They say, 'We can make anything happen here. We're the best. We're the choice pieces of meat in the soup pot.'

4 "Oppose them, son of man. Preach against them."

5 Then the Spirit of God came upon me and told me what to say: "This is what God says: 'That's a fine public speech, Israel, but I know what you are thinking.

6 You've murdered a lot of people in this city. The streets are piled high with corpses.'

7 "Therefore this is what God, the Master, says: 'The corpses that you've piled in the streets are the meat and this city is the soup pot, and you're not even in the pot! I'm throwing you out!

8 You fear war, but war is what you're going to get. I'm bringing war against you.

9 I'm throwing you out of this city, giving you over to foreigners, and punishing you good.

10 You'll be killed in battle. I'll carry out judgment on you at the borders of Israel. Then you'll realize that I am God.

11 This city will not be your soup pot and you won't be the choice pieces of meat in it either. Hardly. I will carry out judgment on you at the borders of Israel

12 and you'll realize that I am God, for you haven't followed my statutes and ordinances. Instead of following my ways, you've sunk to the level of the laws of the nations around you.'"

13 Even while I was preaching, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. I fell down, face to the ground, and prayed loudly, "O Master, God! Will you completely wipe out what's left of Israel?"

14 The answer from God came back:

15 "Son of man, your brothers - I mean the whole people of Israel who are in exile with you - are the people of whom the citizens of Jerusalem are saying, 'They're in the far country, far from God. This land has been given to us to own.'

16 "Well, tell them this: 'This is your Message from God, the Master. True, I sent you to the far country and scattered you through other lands. All the same, I've provided you a temporary sanctuary in the countries where you've gone.

17 I will gather you back from those countries and lands where you've been scattered and give you back the land of Israel.

18 You'll come back and clean house, throw out all the rotten images and obscene idols.

19 I'll give you a new heart. I'll put a new spirit in you. I'll cut out your stone heart and replace it with a red-blooded, firm-muscled heart.

20 Then you'll obey my statutes and be careful to obey my commands. You'll be my people! I'll be your God!

21 "'But not those who are self-willed and addicted to their rotten images and obscene idols! I'll see that they're paid in full for what they've done.' Decree of God, the Master."

22 Then the cherubim spread their wings, with the wheels beside them and the Glory of the God of Israel hovering over them.

23 The Glory of God ascended from within the city and rested on the mountain to the east of the city.

24 Then, still in the vision given me by the Spirit of God, the Spirit took me and carried me back to the exiles in Babylon. And then the vision left me.

25 I told the exiles everything that God had shown me.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 et elevavit me spiritus et introduxit me ad portam domus Domini orientalem quae respicit solis ortum et ecce in introitu portae viginti quinque viri et vidi in medio eorum Hiezoniam filium Azur et Pheltiam filium Banaiae principes populi

2 dixitque ad me fili hominis hii viri qui cogitant iniquitatem et tractant consilium pessimum in urbe ista

3 dicentes nonne dudum aedificatae sunt domus haec est lebes nos autem carnes

4 idcirco vaticinare de eis vaticinare fili hominis

5 et inruit in me spiritus Domini et dixit ad me loquere haec dicit Dominus sic locuti estis domus Israhel et cogitationes cordis vestri ego novi

6 plurimos occidistis in urbe hac et implestis vias eius interfectis

7 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus interfecti vestri quos posuistis in medio eius hii sunt carnes et haec est lebes et educam vos de medio eius

8 gladium metuistis et gladium inducam super vos ait Dominus Deus

9 et eiciam vos de medio eius daboque vos in manu hostium et faciam in vobis iudicia

10 gladio cadetis in finibus Israhel iudicabo vos et scietis quia ego Dominus

11 haec non erit vobis in lebetem et vos non eritis in medio eius in carnes in finibus Israhel iudicabo vos

12 et scietis quia ego Dominus qui in praeceptis meis non ambulastis et iudicia mea non fecistis sed iuxta iudicia gentium quae in circuitu vestro sunt estis operati

13 et factum est cum prophetarem Pheltias filius Banaiae mortuus est et cecidi in faciem meam clamans voce magna et dixi heu heu heu Domine Deus consummationem tu facis reliquiarum Israhel

14 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens

15 fili hominis fratres tui fratres tui viri propinqui tui et omnis domus Israhel universi quibus dixerunt habitatores Hierusalem longe recedite a Domino nobis data est terra in possessionem

16 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus quia longe feci eos in gentibus et quia dispersi eos in terris ero eis in sanctificationem modicam in terris ad quas venerunt

17 propterea loquere haec dicit Dominus Deus congregabo vos de populis et adunabo de terris in quibus dispersi estis daboque vobis humum Israhel

18 et ingredientur illuc et auferent omnes offensiones cunctasque abominationes eius de illa

19 et dabo eis cor unum et spiritum novum tribuam in visceribus eorum et auferam cor lapideum de carne eorum et dabo eis cor carneum

20 ut in praeceptis meis ambulent et iudicia mea custodiant faciantque ea et sint mihi in populum et ego sim eis in Deum

21 quorum cor post offendicula et abominationes suas ambulat horum viam in capite suo ponam dicit Dominus Deus

22 et elevaverunt cherubin alas suas et rotae cum eis et gloria Dei Israhel erat super ea

23 et ascendit gloria Domini de medio civitatis stetitque super montem qui est ad orientem urbis

24 et spiritus levavit me adduxitque in Chaldeam ad transmigrationem in visione in spiritu Dei et sublata est a me visio quam videram

25 et locutus sum ad transmigrationem omnia verba Domini quae ostenderat mihi
