Ezequiel 12
Lexham English Bible
1And the word of Yahweh ⌞came⌟ to me, ⌞saying⌟,
2“Son of man, you are dwelling in the midst of the house of rebellion ⌞who has eyes to see and they do not see⌟; ⌞they have ears to hear⌟, and they do not hear, for they are a house of rebellion.
3And you, son of man, prepare for yourself the baggage of an exile, and go into exile by day before their eyes. And you must go into exile from your place to another place before their eyes; perhaps they will see that they are a house of rebellion.
4And you must bring out your baggage like the baggage of an exile by day before their eyes, and you must go out in the evening before their eyes like ⌞those who go into exile⌟.
5Before their eyes dig through for yourself, through the wall, and you must bring the baggage out through it.
6Before their eyes, on your shoulder, you must lift up the baggage in the dusk, and your face you must cover, so that you may not see the land, for I make you as a sign to the house of Israel.”
7And I did ⌞just as⌟ I was commanded; my baggage, like the baggage of an exile, I brought out by day, and in the evening I dug through for myself into the wall with my hand in the dusk; I brought the baggage on my shoulder; I carried it before their eyes.
8And the word of Yahweh ⌞came⌟ to me in the morning, ⌞saying⌟,
9“Son of man, did not they, the house of Israel, the house of rebellion, say to you, ‘What are you doing?’
10Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “This oracle is about the prince in Jerusalem and ⌞the entire⌟ house of Israel ⌞who are among them⌟.” ’
11Say, ‘I am your sign, and ⌞just as⌟ I did, so will it be done to them in the exile; into captivity they will go.’
12And the prince who is in the midst of them, on his shoulder he will carry the baggage in the dusk, and he will go out; ⌞the wall will be dug through⌟ to bring him through it; and he will cover his face so that he will not see the land with his eye.
13And I will spread out my net on him, and he will be captured in my hunting snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, but he will not see it, and there he will die.
14And all who are around him, his help and all of his troops I will scatter ⌞in every direction⌟, and I will draw the sword behind them.
15And they will know that I am Yahweh ⌞when I scatter them⌟ among the nations and I scatter them in the countries.
16But I will spare from them ⌞a few men⌟ from the sword, from the famine and from the plague, so that they may tell of all their abominations among the nations to which they will go, and they will know that I am Yahweh.”
17And the word of Yahweh ⌞came⌟ to me, ⌞saying⌟,
18“Son of man, you must eat your food with trembling, and your water with shuddering, and with anxiety you must drink.
19And you must say to the people of the land, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh to the inhabitants of Jerusalem about the land of Israel: “They will eat their food with anxiety and their water they will drink with horror, because their land will be desolate from its fullness because of all the violence of ⌞those who are dwelling in it⌟.
20And ⌞the inhabited cites will be desolate⌟, and the land will be a desolation, and you will know that I am Yahweh.” ’ ”
21And the word of Yahweh ⌞came⌟ to me, ⌞saying⌟,
22“Son of man, what is this proverb ⌞you people have⌟ about the land of Israel, ⌞saying⌟, ‘⌞The days are prolonged⌟, and every vision has come to nothing.’
23Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “I will put an end to this proverb, and they will not quote it as a proverb again in Israel.” ’ But say to them, ‘The days are near, and also the word of every vision.’
24For there will not be any longer ⌞any false vision⌟ or flattering divination in the midst of the house of Israel.
25For I, Yahweh, I will speak what I will speak as a word, and it will be done. It will not prolong itself any longer, for in your days, house of rebellion, I will speak a word and I will fulfill it!” ⌞declares⌟ the Lord Yahweh.
26And the word of Yahweh ⌞came⌟ to me, ⌞saying⌟,
27“Son of man, look! The house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he is seeing is for many days from now, and for distant times he is prophesying.’
28Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “None of my words will be prolonged any longer that I speak as a word, and it will be fulfilled!” ’ ” ⌞declares⌟ the Lord Yahweh.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y FUÉ á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
2Hijo del hombre, tú habitas en medio de casa rebelde, los cuales tienen ojos para ver, y no ven, tienen oídos para oir, y no oyen; porque son casa rebelde.
3Por tanto tú, hijo del hombre, hazte aparejos de marcha, y pártete de día delante de sus ojos; y te pasarás de tu lugar á otro lugar á vista de ellos, por si tal vez atienden, porque son casa rebelde.
4Y sacarás tus aparejos, como aparejos de partida, de día delante de sus ojos: mas tú saldrás por la tarde á vista de ellos, como quien sale para partirse.
5Delante de sus ojos horadarás la pared, y saldrás por ella.
6Delante de sus ojos los llevarás sobre tus hombros, de noche los sacarás; cubrirás tu rostro, y no mirarás la tierra: porque en señal te he dado á la casa de Israel.
7Y yo hice así como me fué mandado: saqué mis aparejos de día, como aparejos de partida, y á la tarde horadé la pared á mano; salí de noche, y llevélos sobre los hombros á vista de ellos.
8Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová por la mañana, diciendo:
9Hijo del hombre, ¿no te ha dicho la casa de Israel, aquella casa rebelde: ¿Qué haces?
10Diles: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Al príncipe en Jerusalem es esta carga, y á toda la casa de Israel que está en medio de ellos.
11Diles: Yo soy vuestra señal: como yo hice, así les harán á ellos: al pasar á otro país irán en cautiverio.
12Y al príncipe que está en medio de ellos llevarán á cuestas de noche, y saldrán; horadarán la pared para sacarlo por ella; cubrirá su rostro para no ver con sus ojos la tierra.
13Mas yo extenderé mi red sobre él, y será preso en mi malla, y harélo llevar á Babilonia, á tierra de Caldeos; mas no la verá, y allá morirá.
14Y á todos los que estuvieren alrededor de él para su ayuda, y á todas sus compañías esparciré á todo viento, y desenvainaré espada en pos de ellos.
15Y sabrán que yo soy Jehová, cuando los esparciere entre las gentes, y los derramare por la tierra.
16Y haré que de ellos queden pocos en número, del cuchillo, y del hambre, y de la pestilencia, para que cuenten todas sus abominaciones entre las gentes adonde llegaren; y sabrán que yo soy Jehová.
17Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
18Hijo del hombre, come tu pan con temblor, y bebe tu agua con estremecimiento y con anhelo;
19Y dirás al pueblo de la tierra: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová sobre los moradores de Jerusalem, y sobre la tierra de Israel: Su pan comerán con temor, y con espanto beberán su agua; porque su tierra será asolada de su multitud, por la maldad de todos los que en ella moran.
20Y las ciudades habitadas serán asoladas, y la tierra será desierta; y sabréis que yo soy Jehová.
21Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
22Hijo del hombre, ¿qué refrán es este que tenéis vosotros en la tierra de Israel, diciendo: Prolongarse han los días, y perecerá toda visión?
23Diles por tanto: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Haré cesar este refrán, y no repetirán más este dicho en Israel. Diles pues: Se han acercado aquellos días, y la palabra de toda visión.
24Porque no habrá más alguna visión vana, ni habrá adivinación de lisonjeros en medio de la casa de Israel.
25Porque yo Jehová hablaré; cumpliráse la palabra que yo hablaré; no se dilatará más: antes en vuestros días, oh casa rebelde, hablaré palabra, y cumpliréla, dice el Señor Jehová.
26Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
27Hijo del hombre, he aquí que los de la casa de Israel dicen: La visión que éste ve es para muchos días, y para lejanos tiempos profetiza éste.
28Diles por tanto: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: No se dilatarán más todas mis palabras: cumpliráse la palabra que yo hablaré, dice el Señor Jehová.
King James Version
1The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,
2Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.
3Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house.
4Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.
5Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.
6In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.
7And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.
8And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,
9Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?
10Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.
11Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove and go into captivity.
12And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.
13My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
14And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.
15And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.
16But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
17Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness;
19And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.
20And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
21And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
22Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
23Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
24For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.
26Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
27Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.
28Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.
World English Bible
1The LORD’s word also came to me, saying,
2“Son of man, you dwell in the middle of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and don’t see, who have ears to hear, and don’t hear; for they are a rebellious house.
3“Therefore, you son of man, prepare your baggage for moving, and move by day in their sight. You shall move from your place to another place in their sight. It may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.
4You shall bring out your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for moving. You shall go out yourself at evening in their sight, as when men go out into exile.
5Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your baggage out that way.
6In their sight you shall bear it on your shoulder, and carry it out in the dark. You shall cover your face, so that you don’t see the land, for I have set you for a sign to the house of Israel.”
7I did so as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage by day, as baggage for moving, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought it out in the dark, and bore it on my shoulder in their sight.
8In the morning, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
9“Son of man, hasn’t the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ‘What are you doing?’
10“Say to them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.”’
11“Say, ‘I am your sign. As I have done, so will it be done to them. They will go into exile, into captivity.
12“‘The prince who is among them will bear his baggage on his shoulder in the dark, and will go out. They will dig through the wall to carry things out that way. He will cover his face, because he will not see the land with his eyes.
13I will also spread my net on him, and he will be taken in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, though he will die there.
14I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his bands. I will draw out the sword after them.
15“‘They will know that I am the LORD when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them through the countries.
16But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they come. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
17Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
18“Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with fearfulness.
19Tell the people of the land, ‘The Lord GOD says concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the land of Israel: “They will eat their bread with fearfulness and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, and all that is therein, because of the violence of all those who dwell therein.
20The cities that are inhabited will be laid waste, and the land will be a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”
21The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
22“Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, ‘The days are prolonged, and every vision fails’?
23Tell them therefore, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I will make this proverb to cease, and they will no more use it as a proverb in Israel;”’ but tell them, ‘“The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.
24For there will be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25For I am the LORD. I will speak, and the word that I speak will be performed. It will be no more deferred; for in your days, rebellious house, I will speak the word and will perform it,” says the Lord GOD.’”
26Again the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
27“Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off.’
28“Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “None of my words will be deferred any more, but the word which I speak will be performed,” says the Lord GOD.’”
