Ezekiel 11 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Evil Rulers to Be Judged

Eze 11:1

Now the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the LORD’S house which faced eastward. And behold, there were twenty-five men at the entrance of the gate, and among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.

Eze 11:2Then He said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise wrongdoing and give evil advice in this city,
Eze 11:3who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses. [fn]This city is the pot and we are the meat.’
Eze 11:4“Therefore, prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man!”
Eze 11:5

Then the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and He said to me, “Say, ‘This is what the LORD says: “This is how you think, house of Israel, for I know [fn]your thoughts.

Eze 11:6“You have multiplied your slain in this city, and filled its streets with [fn]them.”
Eze 11:7‘Therefore, this is what the Lord [fn]GOD says: “Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of [fn]the city are the meat and this city is the pot; but [fn]I will bring you out of it.
Eze 11:8“You have feared a sword; so I will bring a sword upon you,” the Lord GOD declares.
Eze 11:9“And I will bring you out of the midst of [fn]the city, and hand you over to strangers, and execute judgments against you.
Eze 11:10“You will fall by the sword. I will judge you to the border of Israel; so you shall know that I am the LORD.
Eze 11:11“This city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be meat in the midst of it; I will judge you to the border of Israel.
Eze 11:12“So you will know that I am the LORD; for you have not walked in My statutes, nor have you executed My ordinances, but you have acted in accordance with the ordinances of the nations around you.”’”
Eze 11:13

Now it came about, as I prophesied, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell on my face and cried out with a loud voice, and said, “Oh, Lord GOD! Will You bring the remnant of Israel to a complete destruction?”

Promise of Restoration

Eze 11:14

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Eze 11:15“Son of man, your brothers, your relatives, [fn]your fellow exiles, and the entire house of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Keep far from the LORD; this land has been given to us as a possession.’
Eze 11:16“Therefore say, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: “Though I had removed them far away among the nations, and though I had scattered them among the countries, yet I was a sanctuary for them for a little while in the countries where they had gone.”’
Eze 11:17“Therefore say, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: “I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you from the countries among which you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.”’
Eze 11:18“When they come there, they will remove all its detestable things and all its abominations from it.
Eze 11:19“And I will give them one heart, and put a new spirit within [fn]them. And I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh,
Eze 11:20so that they may walk in My statutes, and keep My ordinances and do them. Then they will be My people, and I shall be their God.
Eze 11:21[fn]But as for those whose hearts go after their detestable things and abominations, I will [fn]bring their conduct down on their heads,” declares the Lord GOD.
Eze 11:22

Then the cherubim lifted up their wings with the wheels beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel [fn]hovered over them.

Eze 11:23The glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city and stood over the mountain which is east of the city.
Eze 11:24And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God to [fn]Chaldea, to the exiles. Then the vision that I had seen [fn]left me.
Eze 11:25And I told the exiles all the things that the LORD had shown me.
