Ezechiel 13

1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens :

2 Fili hominis, vaticinare ad prophetas Israël, qui prophetant, et dices prophetantibus de corde suo : Audite verbum Domini.

3 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Væ prophetis insipientibus, qui sequuntur spiritum suum, et nihil vident !

4 Quasi vulpes in desertis prophetæ tui, Israël, erant.

5 Non ascendistis ex adverso, neque opposuistis murum pro domo Israël, ut staretis in prælio in die Domini.

6 Vident vana, et divinant mendacium, dicentes : Ait Dominus, cum Dominus non miserit eos : et perseveraverunt confirmare sermonem.

7 Numquid non visionem cassam vidistis, et divinationem mendacem locuti estis, et dicitis : Ait Dominus, cum ego non sim locutus ?

8 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Quia locuti estis vana, et vidistis mendacium, ideo ecce ego ad vos, dicit Dominus Deus.

9 Et erit manus mea super prophetas qui vident vana, et divinant mendacium : in consilio populi mei non erunt, et in scriptura domus Israël non scribentur, nec in terram Israël ingredientur : et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus.

10 Eo quod deceperint populum meum, dicentes : Pax, et non est pax : et ipse ædificabat parietem, illi autem liniebant eum luto absque paleis.

11 Dic ad eos qui liniunt absque temperatura, quod casurus sit : erit enim imber inundans, et dabo lapides prægrandes desuper irruentes, et ventum procellæ dissipantem.

12 Siquidem ecce cecidit paries : numquid non dicetur vobis : Ubi est litura quam linistis ?

13 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Et erumpere faciam spiritum tempestatum in indignatione mea, et imber inundans in furore meo erit, et lapides grandes in ira in consumptionem.

14 Et destruam parietem quem linistis absque temperamento, et adæquabo eum terræ, et revelabitur fundamentum ejus : et cadet, et consumetur in medio ejus, et scietis quia ego sum Dominus.

15 Et complebo indignationem meam in pariete, et in his qui liniunt eum absque temperamento : dicamque vobis : Non est paries, et non sunt qui liniunt eum :

16 prophetæ Israël, qui prophetant ad Jerusalem, et vident ei visionem pacis, et non est pax, ait Dominus Deus.

17 Et tu, fili hominis, pone faciem tuam contra filias populi tui, quæ prophetant de corde suo : et vaticinare super eas,

18 et dic : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Væ quæ consuunt pulvillos sub omni cubito manus, et faciunt cervicalia sub capite universæ ætatis ad capiendas animas : et cum caperent animas populi mei, vivificabant animas eorum !

19 Et violabant me ad populum meum propter pugillum hordei, et fragmen panis, ut interficerent animas quæ non moriuntur, et vivificarent animas quæ non vivunt, mentientes populo meo credenti mendaciis.

20 Propter hoc hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Ecce ego ad pulvillos vestros, quibus vos capitis animas volantes : et dirumpam eos de brachiis vestris, et dimittam animas quas vos capitis, animas ad volandum.

21 Et dirumpam cervicalia vestra, et liberabo populum meum de manu vestra, neque erunt ultra in manibus vestris ad prædandum : et scietis quia ego Dominus.

22 Pro eo quod mœrere fecistis cor justi mendaciter, quem ego non contristavi : et confortastis manus impii, ut non reverteretur a via sua mala, et viveret :

23 propterea vana non videbitis, et divinationes non divinabitis amplius, et eruam populum meum de manu vestra : et scietis quia ego Dominus.

19. 17. To whom will ye liken Me, to whom am I equal? saith the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, and behold, who hath created these things, etc. (Isaiah 40:25-26).

(My judgment is with Jehovah, and the price of My work is with my God. Then shall I be precious in the eyes of Jehovah, and my God shall be my strength. Jehovah hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me (Isaiah 49:4-5, 14). Because of Jehovah that is faithful and the Holy One of Israel who chooseth thee [Isaiah 49:7].)

I have given Thee for a light to the nations, that Thou mayest be My salvation unto the end of the earth. I have given Thee for a covenant of the people, to restore the earth, to divide the devastated heritages; to say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Reveal. They shall feed in the ways, and their pasture shall be on all hillsides; they shall not hunger nor thirst; by the springs of water shall He lead them (Isaiah 49:6, 8-10).

(Let him trust in the name of Jehovah, and stay upon his God (Isaiah 50:10).)

Look to me ye that follow after justice, ye that seek Jehovah; look unto the rock whence ye are hewn (Isaiah 51:1). Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah, awake as in the days of old (Isaiah 51:9).

I will put my words in thy mouth, for the planting of the heavens, and laying the foundations of the earth (Isaiah 51:16). (My people shall know My name in that day, for I am He that doth speak: Behold, it is I. How delightful upon the mountains are the feet of Him that bringeth good tidings, that causeth to hear peace, that saith unto Zion, Thy king reigneth. Watchmen shall lift up the voice; together shall they sing when they shall see eye to eye, that Jehovah returneth to Zion (Isaiah 52:6-7).

Jehovah hath made bare the arm of His holiness in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God (Isaiah 52:10).

Who hath believed our word that is heard? and upon whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed (Isaiah 53:1)?

(The Lord is treated of throughout the chapter, and the state of His life is described here briefly in these words. That He had no form nor honor; that He was despised and not esteemed. That He was wounded on account of our transgressions, and bruised on account of our iniquities. That Jehovah hath made to light on Him the iniquity of us all. That He was brought as a lamb to the slaughter; that He was cut off from the land of the living. That because He offered His soul as a guilt offering His days were prolonged, and that the will of Jehovah prospered by His hand, in the fact that He bore their iniquities, and for them poured out His soul even unto death. That He was numbered with the transgressors, and interceded for the transgressors (Isaiah 53:1-12).
