I looked, and there was a whirlwind coming from the north, a huge cloud with fire flashing back and forth and brilliant light all around it. In the center of the fire, there was a gleam like amber.
The Spirit then lifted me up, and I heard a loud rumbling sound behind me — bless the glory of the LORD in his place! —
He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they are doing here — more detestable acts that the house of Israel is committing — so that I must depart from my sanctuary? You will see even more detestable acts.”
Again he said to me, “You will see even more detestable acts that they are committing.”
And he said to me, “Do you see this, son of man? You will see even more detestable acts than these.”
Then he called loudly in my hearing, “Come near, executioners of the city, each of you with a destructive weapon in his hand.”

“ ‘But there was another huge eagle with powerful wings and thick plumage. And this vine bent its roots toward him! It stretched out its branches to him from the plot where it was planted, so that he might water it.
“It had been planted in a good field by abundant water in order to produce branches, bear fruit, and become a splendid vine.’
“You are to say, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: Will it flourish? Will he not tear out its roots and strip off its fruit so that it shrivels? All its fresh leaves will wither! Great strength and many people will not be needed to pull it from its roots.
“Pharaoh with his mighty army and vast company will not help him in battle, when ramps are built and siege walls constructed to destroy many lives.
“I will plant it on Israel’s high mountain
so that it may bear branches, produce fruit,
and become a majestic cedar.
Birds of every kind will nest under it,
taking shelter in the shade of its branches.
“So you, son of man, prophesy and clap your hands together:
Let the sword strike two times, even three.
It is a sword for massacre,
a sword for great massacre —
it surrounds[fn] them!
“I will execute severe vengeance against them with furious rebukes. They will know that I am the LORD when I take my vengeance on them.’ ”
“Speak to him and say, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says:
Look, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt,
the great monster[fn] lying in the middle of his Nile,
who says, “My Nile is my own;
I made it for myself.”
“Son of man, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon made his army labor strenuously against Tyre. Every head was made bald and every shoulder chafed, but he and his army received no compensation from Tyre for the labor he expended against it.
“I will honor the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations — the name you have profaned among them. The nations will know that I am the LORD — this is the declaration of the Lord GOD — when I demonstrate my holiness through you in their sight.

On the north side it will extend from the Mediterranean Sea by way of Hethlon and Lebo-hamath to Zedad,[fn]
“On the south side it will run from Tamar to the Waters of Meribath-kadesh,[fn] and on to the Brook of Egypt as far as the Mediterranean Sea. This will be the southern side.
