Ezekiel 11
11
Judgment on Wicked Counselors
1Then #Ezek. 3:12, 14the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to #Ezek. 10:19the East Gate of the Lord’s house, which faces eastward; and there #Ezek. 8:16at the door of the gate were twenty-five men, among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people. 2And He said to me: “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and give wicked counsel in this city, 3who say, ‘The time is not #Ezek. 12:22, 27; 2 Pet. 3:4near to build houses; #Jer. 1:13; Ezek. 11:7, 11; 24:3, 6this city is the caldron, and we are the meat.’ 4Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man!”
5Then #Ezek. 2:2; 3:24the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said to me, “Speak! ‘Thus says the Lord: “Thus you have said, O house of Israel; for #(Jer. 16:17; 17:10)I know the things that come into your mind. 6#Is. 1:15; Ezek. 7:23; 22:2–6, 9, 12, 27You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.” 7Therefore thus says the Lord God: #Ezek. 24:3, 6; Mic. 3:2, 3“Your slain whom you have laid in its midst, they are the meat, and this city is the caldron; #2 Kin. 25:18–22; Jer. 52:24–27; Ezek. 11:9but I shall bring you out of the midst of it. 8You have #Jer. 42:16feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you,” says the Lord God. 9“And I will bring you out of its midst, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and #Ezek. 5:8execute judgments on you. 10#2 Kin. 25:19–21; Jer. 39:6; 52:10You shall fall by the sword. I will judge you at #1 Kin. 8:65; 2 Kin. 14:25the border of Israel. #Ps. 9:16; Ezek. 6:7; 13:9, 14, 21, 23Then you shall know that I am the Lord. 11#Ezek. 11:3, 7This city shall not be your caldron, nor shall you be the meat in its midst. I will judge you at the border of Israel. 12And you shall know that I am the Lord; for you have not walked in My statutes nor executed My judgments, but #Lev. 18:3, 24; Deut. 12:30, 31; Ezek. 8:10, 14, 16have done according to the customs of the Gentiles which are all around you.” ’ ”
13Now it happened, while I was prophesying, that #Acts 5:5Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then #Ezek. 9:8I fell on my face and cried with a loud voice, and said, “Ah, Lord God! Will You make a complete end of the remnant of Israel?”
God Will Restore Israel
14Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 15“Son of man, your brethren, your relatives, your countrymen, and all the house of Israel in its entirety, are those about whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Get far away from the Lord; this land has been given to us as a possession.’ 16Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Although I have cast them far off among the Gentiles, and although I have scattered them among the countries, #Ps. 90:1; 91:9; Is. 8:14; Jer. 29:7, 11yet I shall be a little sanctuary for them in the countries where they have gone.” ’ 17Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: #Is. 11:11–16; Jer. 3:12, 18; 24:5; Ezek. 20:41, 42; 28:5“I will gather you from the peoples, assemble you from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.” ’ 18And they will go there, and they will take away all its #Ezek. 37:23detestable things and all its abominations from there. 19Then #Jer. 32:39; Ezek. 36:26; Zeph. 3:9I will give them one heart, and I will put #Ps. 51:10; (Jer. 31:33); Ezek. 18:31a new spirit within them, and take #Zech. 7:12; (Rom. 2:4, 5)the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh, 20#Ps. 105:45that they may walk in My statutes and keep My judgments and do them; #Jer. 24:7; Ezek. 14:11; 36:28; 37:27and they shall be My people, and I will be their God. 21But as for those whose hearts follow the desire for their detestable things and their abominations, #Ezek. 9:10I will recompense their deeds on their own heads,” says the Lord God.
22So the cherubim #Ezek. 1:19lifted up their wings, with the wheels beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was high above them. 23And #Ezek. 8:4; 9:3the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city and stood #Zech. 14:4on the mountain, #Ezek. 43:2which is on the east side of the city.
24Then #Ezek. 8:3; 2 Cor. 12:2–4the Spirit took me up and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to those in captivity. And the vision that I had seen went up from me. 25So I spoke to those in captivity of all the things the Lord had shown me.
