-- 17{1} And the
word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {2} Son of man, put forth a
riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel; {3} And say,
Thus saith the Lord GOD; A great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers,
which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the
cedar: {4} He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it
into a land of traffick; he set it in a city of merchants. {5} He took
also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it
by great waters, and set it as a willow tree. {6} And it grew, and
became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and
the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches,
and shot forth sprigs. {7} There was also another great eagle with
great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward
him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows
of her plantation. {8} It was planted in a good soil by great waters,
that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might
be a goodly vine. {9} Say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Shall it prosper?
shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it
wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power
or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof. {10} Yea, behold,
being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind
toucheth it? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew. {11} Moreover
the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, {12} Say now to the rebellious
house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon
is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof,
and led them with him to Babylon; {13} And hath taken of the king's
seed, and made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also
taken the mighty of the land: {14} That the kingdom might be base,
that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might
stand. {15} But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors
into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper?
shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be
delivered? {16} As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place
where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose
covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die. {17}
Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company make for him in the
war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons: {18}
Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his
hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape. {19} Therefore
thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and
my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head.
{20} And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare,
and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his trespass
that he hath trespassed against me. {21} And all his fugitives with
all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered
toward all winds: and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken it. {22}
Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar,
and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one,
and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent: {23} In the mountain
of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and
bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every
wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell. {24}
And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the
high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made
the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted
the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish:
I the LORD have spoken and have done it. Ezekiel
-- 18{1} The word
of the LORD came unto me again, saying, {2} What mean ye, that ye use
this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour
grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge? {3} As I live, saith
the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.
{4} Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the
soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. {5} But
if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right, {6} And hath
not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of
the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come
near to a menstruous woman, {7} And hath not oppressed any, but hath
restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his
bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment; {8}
He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that
hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man
and man, {9} Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments,
to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD. {10}
If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth the like
to any one of these things, {11} And that doeth not any of those duties,
but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,
{12} Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath
not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed
abomination, {13} Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase:
shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he
shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him. {14} Now, lo, if he
beget a son, that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done, and considereth,
and doeth not such like, {15} That hath not eaten upon the mountains,
neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not
defiled his neighbour's wife, {16} Neither hath oppressed any, hath
not withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but hath given his
bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment, {17}
That hath taken off his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase,
hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the
iniquity of his father, he shall surely live. {18} As for his father,
because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which
is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity. {19}
Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son
hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath
done them, he shall surely live. {20} The soul that sinneth, it shall
die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father
bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon
him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. {21} But if
the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my
statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall
not die. {22} All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall
not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
{23} Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord
GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? {24} But
when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity,
and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he
live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass
that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he
die. {25} Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O
house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal? {26}
When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity,
and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. {27}
Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed,
and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. {28}
Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath
committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die. {29} Yet saith the
house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not
my ways equal? are not your ways unequal? {30} Therefore I will judge
you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent,
and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your
ruin. {31} Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have
transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die,
O house of Israel? {32} For I have no pleasure in the death of him
that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
Ezekiel -- 19{1}
Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, {2}
And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished
her whelps among young lions. {3} And she brought up one of her whelps:
it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
{4} The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they
brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt. {5} Now when she saw
that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps,
and made him a young lion. {6} And he went up and down among the lions,
he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men. {7}
And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land
was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise of his roaring. {8}
Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread
their net over him: he was taken in their pit. {9} And they put him
in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into
holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
{10} Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she
was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters. {11} And
she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and her stature was
exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude
of her branches. {12} But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast
down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were
broken and withered; the fire consumed them. {13} And now she is planted
in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground. {14} And fire is gone
out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath
no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for
a lamentation. Hebrews
-- 13{1} Let brotherly
love continue. {2} Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby
some have entertained angels unawares. {3} Remember them that are in
bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves
also in the body. {4} Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled:
but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. {5} Let your conversation
be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath
said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. {6} So that we may
boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto
me. {7} Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken
unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
{8} Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. {9}
Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing
that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited
them that have been occupied therein. {10} We have an altar, whereof
they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. {11} For the
bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high
priest for sin, are burned without the camp. {12} Wherefore Jesus also,
that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
{13} Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
{14} For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
{15} By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually,
that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. {16} But
to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well
pleased. {17} Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves:
for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do
it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. {18}
Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to
live honestly. {19} But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I
may be restored to you the sooner. {20} Now the God of peace, that
brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep,
through the blood of the everlasting covenant, {21} Make you perfect
in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in
his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
{22} And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I
have written a letter unto you in few words. {23} Know ye that our
brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.
{24} Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They
of Italy salute you. {25} Grace be with you all. Amen.
