Judgment on Wicked Counselors
111:1 ver. 24; See ch. 3:12The Spirit lifted me up and brought me to 11:1 ch. 10:19the east gate of the house of the Lord, which faces east. And behold, at the entrance of the gateway there were 11:1 ch. 8:16twenty-five men. And I saw among them Jaazaniah 11:1 Jer. 28:1the son of Azzur, and 11:1 ver. 13Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
2And he said to me, 11:2 See ch. 2:1“Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and who give wicked counsel in this city;
311:3 [Jer. 29:28] who say, 11:3 [ch. 12:22, 27] ‘The time is not near11:3 Or Is not the time near . . . ? to build houses. 11:3 ch. 24:3, 6This city is the cauldron, and we are the meat.’
4Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, O son of man.”
5And 11:5 See ch. 2:2the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and he said to me, “Say, Thus says the Lord: So you think, O house of Israel. 11:5 ch. 20:32; 38:10; [Isa. 29:15]For I know the things that come into your mind.
611:6 [ch. 7:23]You have multiplied your slain in this city and have filled its streets with the slain.
7Therefore thus says the Lord God: 11:7 ch. 24:7Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of it, 11:7 [See ver. 3above]they are the meat, and 11:7 [See ver. 3above]this city is the cauldron, but you shall be brought out of the midst of it.
811:8 Jer. 42:16You have feared the sword, and I will bring the sword upon you, declares the Lord God.
9And I will bring you out of the midst of it, and 11:9 ch. 7:21give you into the hands of foreigners, and 11:9 See ch. 5:8execute judgments upon you.
1011:10 Jer. 39:6; See 2 Kgs. 25:18-21You shall fall by the sword. I will judge you at the border of Israel, 11:10 See ch. 6:7and you shall know that I am the Lord.
1111:11 [ver. 3, 7]This city shall not be your cauldron, nor shall you be the meat in the midst of it. 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 obeyed my rules, 11:12 [ch. 8:10, 14, 16]but have acted according to the rules of the nations that are around you.”
13And it came to pass, while I was prophesying, 11:13 [Acts 5:5] that 11:13 ver. 1Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. 11:13 ch. 9:8Then I fell down on my face and cried out with a loud voice and said, 11:13 ch. 9:8“Ah, Lord God! 11:13 [ch. 20:17]Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?”
Israel’s New Heart and Spirit
14And the word of the Lord came to me:
1511:15 See ch. 2:1“Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, your kinsmen,11:15 Hebrew the men of your redemption the whole house of Israel, all of them, are those of whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, 11:15 [1 Sam. 26:19]‘Go far from the Lord; to us this land is given for a possession.’
16Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: Though I removed them far off among the nations, and though I scattered them among the countries, yet 11:16 [ch. 37:26, 28; Isa. 8:14; Rev. 21:22]I have been a sanctuary to them for a while11:16 Or in small measure in the countries where they have gone.’
17Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: 11:17 ch. 20:41; 28:25; 34:13; 36:24; 37:21; [ch. 38:8; 39:27; Isa. 11:12]I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, 11:17 ch. 20:41; 28:25; 34:13; 36:24; 37:21; [ch. 38:8; 39:27; Isa. 11:12]and I will give you the land of Israel.’
18And when they come there, 11:18 ch. 37:23they will remove from it all its 11:18 ch. 5:11detestable things and all its abominations.
1911:19 Jer. 32:39; [Acts 4:32] And I will give them one heart, and 11:19 ch. 36:26; [ch. 18:31; Ps. 51:10; Jer. 31:33] a new spirit I will put within them. 11:19 [Zech. 7:12] I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh 11:19 [2 Cor. 3:3]and give them a heart of flesh,
2011:20 Ps. 105:45that they may walk in my statutes and keep my rules and obey them. 11:20 ch. 14:11; 36:28; Lev. 26:12; See Jer. 30:22; 31:33And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
2111:21 See ch. 9:4-6But as for those whose heart goes after their detestable things and their abominations, 11:21 See ch. 7:4I will11:21 Hebrew To the heart of their detestable things and their abominations their heart goes; I will bring their deeds upon their own heads, declares the Lord God.”
2211:22 ch. 10:19Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, with the wheels beside them, 11:22 ch. 10:19and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
23And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city and 11:23 Zech. 14:4; [ch. 43:2]stood on the mountain that is on the east side of the city.
2411:24 ver. 1; See ch. 3:12And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me 11:24 See ch. 1:1in the vision by the Spirit of God 11:24 [ch. 1:3]into Chaldea, to the exiles. Then the vision that I had seen went up from me.
25And I told the exiles all the things that the Lord had shown me.
