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.

When I looked at the living creatures, there was one wheel on the ground beside each of the four-faced creatures.

So I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me, and there was a written scroll in it.

“Look, I have made your face as hard as their faces and your forehead as hard as their foreheads.

So I got up and went out to the plain. The LORD’s glory was present there, like the glory I had seen by the Chebar Canal, and I fell facedown.

“As for you, son of man, they will put ropes on you and bind you with them so you cannot go out among them.

“Be aware that I will put cords on you so you cannot turn from side to side until you have finished the days of your siege.

But I said, “Oh, Lord GOD, I have never been defiled. From my youth until now I have not eaten anything that died naturally or was mauled by wild beasts. And impure meat has never entered my mouth.”

“You are to say: Mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD! This is what the Lord GOD says to the mountains and the hills, to the ravines and the valleys: I am about to bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.

This is what the Lord GOD says:

Look, one disaster after another is coming!

Here is the day! Here it comes!

Doom is on its way.

The rod has blossomed;

arrogance has bloomed.

I looked, and there was someone who looked like a man.[fn] From what seemed to be his waist down was fire, and from his waist up was something that looked bright, like the gleam of amber.

I saw the glory of the God of Israel there, like the vision I had seen in the plain.

Then he brought me to the entrance of the court, and when I looked there was a hole in the wall.

I went in and looked, and there engraved all around the wall was every kind of abhorrent thing ​— ​crawling creatures and beasts ​— ​as well as all the idols of the house of Israel.

Then he brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the LORD’s house, and I saw women sitting there weeping for Tammuz.

So he brought me to the inner court of the LORD’s house, and there were about twenty-five men at the entrance of the LORD’s temple, between the portico and the altar, with their backs to the LORD’s temple and their faces turned to the east. They were bowing to the east in worship of the sun.

And I saw six men coming from the direction of the Upper Gate, which faces north, each with a war club in his hand. There was another man among them, clothed in linen, carrying writing equipment. They came and stood beside the bronze altar.

Then the man clothed in linen and carrying writing equipment reported back, “I have done all that you commanded me.”

Then I looked, and there above the expanse over the heads of the cherubim was something like a throne with the appearance of lapis lazuli.

I looked, and there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. The luster of the wheels was like the gleam of beryl.

The Spirit then lifted me up and brought me to the eastern gate of the LORD’s house, which faces east, and at the gate’s entrance were twenty-five men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur, and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.

“Son of man, notice that the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees concerns many years from now; he prophesies about distant times.’

“ ‘Since they have led my people astray by saying, “Peace,” when there is no peace, and since when a flimsy wall is being built, they plaster it with whitewash,

When the wall has fallen, will you not be asked, “Where’s the whitewash you plastered on it? ”

“Even so, there will be survivors left in it, sons and daughters who will be brought out. Indeed, they will come out to you, and you will observe their conduct and actions. Then you will be consoled about the devastation I have brought on Jerusalem, about all I have brought on it.

“In fact, it is put into the fire as fuel. The fire devours both of its ends, and the middle is charred. Can it be useful for anything?

“ ‘Then I passed by you and saw you, and you were indeed at the age for love. So I spread the edge of my garment over you and covered your nakedness. I pledged myself to you, entered into a covenant with you ​— ​this is the declaration of the Lord GOD ​— ​and you became mine.

“ ‘Therefore, I stretched out my hand against you and reduced your provisions. I gave you over to the desire of those who hate you, the Philistine women, who were embarrassed by your indecent conduct.

“ ‘Look, everyone who uses proverbs will quote this proverb about you: “Like mother, like daughter.”

“Now this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters had pride, plenty of food, and comfortable security, but didn’t support[fn] the poor and needy.

“ ‘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.

“Even though it is planted, will it flourish? Won’t it wither completely when the east wind strikes it? It will wither on the plot where it sprouted.’ ”

“Now say to that rebellious house, ‘Don’t you know what these things mean? ’ Tell them, ‘The king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, took its king and officials, and brought them back with him to Babylon.

“He despised the oath by breaking the covenant. He did all these things even though he gave his hand in pledge. He will not escape!

“Now suppose he has a son who sees all the sins his father has committed, and though he sees them, he does not do likewise.

“As for his father, he will die for his own iniquity because he practiced fraud, robbed his brother, and did among his people what was not good.

“And when they ask you, ‘Why are you groaning? ’ then say, ‘Because of the news that is coming. Every heart will melt, and every hand will become weak. Every spirit will be discouraged, and all knees will run with urine.[fn] Yes, it is coming and it will happen. This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.’ ”

“ ‘Look, every prince of Israel within you has used his strength to shed blood.

“ ‘Now look, I clap my hands together against the dishonest profit you have made and against the blood shed among you.

“On the same day they slaughtered their children for their idols, they entered my sanctuary to profane it. Yes, that is what they did inside my house.

“ ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: Because Moab and Seir said, “Look, the house of Judah is like all the other nations.”

Yes, you are wiser than Daniel; no secret is hidden from you!

On that day, messengers will go out from me in ships to terrify confident Cush. Anguish will come over them on the day of Egypt’s doom.[fn] For indeed it is coming.

“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Look, it has not been bandaged ​— ​no medicine has been applied and no splint put on to bandage it so that it can grow strong enough to handle a sword.
