While I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah dropped dead. I threw myself facedown to the ground and cried out, “Oh no, Lord YAHWEH, are you going to annihilate the remnant left in Israel?” YAHWEH spoke to me, saying: “Son of man, the people living in Jerusalem are talking about you, your close relatives, and all the people of Israel. They are saying that the people in exile are away from YAHWEH. ‘This country was given to us as our possession!’ Now give this message to your fellow exiles: ‘The Lord YAHWEH says to you: Although I have sent you far away among the nations and I have scattered you to foreign countries, yet I have been your sanctuary for the time being wherever you have gone.’ And tell them, ‘The Lord YAHWEH says this: I will gather you back from the peoples, and draw you together from the countries where you have been scattered and give you the land of Israel. When you return, you will purge the land of all its filthy idols and detestable practices. I will give you a new, undivided heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will remove your stubborn heart of stone and give you a tender heart that responds to me—a devoted heart. Therefore, you will keep my laws and faithfully obey my commands. Then you will truly be the people of my heart, and I will be the God you worship. But I will punish those whose hearts are devoted to their filthy idols and detestable practices. I will repay them for their conduct, declares Lord YAHWEH.’ ” YAHWEH Then the cherubim raised their wings to fly, and the wheels moved in unison with them; above them was the radiant glory of the God of Israel. And the glory of YAHWEH went up from Jerusalem and stood above the mountain to the east of the city. Then, the Spirit snatched me away and transported me back among the exiles in Babylon. This was the vision given to me by the Spirit of God. Then the vision faded away. And I told the exiles everything that YAHWEH had revealed to me.
