Lord GOD, This is 1erusalem; I have set her at the center of the nations, with lands
around her. 6 But she has rebelled against My ordinances more wickedly than the nations
and against My statutes more than the lands which surround her; for they have rejected
My ordinances and have not walked in My statutes.` 7 Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD,
Because you have more turmoil than the nations which surround you an have not walked
in My statutes, nor observed My ordinances, nor observed the ordinances of the nations
which surround you,` 8 therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, Behold, I, even I, am against
you, and I will execute judgments among you in the sight of the nations. 9 And because of
all your abominations, I will do among you what I have not done, and the like of which I
will never do again. 10 Therefore, fathers will eat their sons among you, and sons will eat
their fathers; for I will execute judgments on you and scatter all your remnant to every
wind. 11 So as I live,` declares the Lord GOD, surely, because you have defiled My
sanctuary with all your detestable idols and with all your abominations, therefore I will
also withdraw, and My eye will have no pity and I will not spare. 12 One third of you will
die by plague or be consumed by famine among you, one third will fall by the sword
around you, and one third I will scatter to every wind, and I will unsheathe a sword behind
them.
13 Thus My anger will be spent and I will satisfy My wrath on them, and I will be
appeased; then they will know that I, the LORD, have spoken in My zeal when I have spent
My wrath upon them. 14 Moreover, I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the
nations which surround you, in the sight of all who pass by. 15 So it will be a reproach, a
reviling, a warning and an object of horror to the nations who surround you when I execute
judgments against you in anger, wrath and raging rebukes. I, the LORD, have spoken.
16 When I send against them the deadly arrows of famine which were for the destruction of
those whom I will send to destroy you, then I will also intensify the famine upon you and
break the staff of bread. 17 Moreover, I will send on you famine and wild beasts, and they
will bereave you of children; plague and bloodshed also will pass through you, and I will
bring the sword on you. I, the LORD, have spoken.`, death)

will give you the land of Israel.` 18 When they come there, they will remove all its
detestable things and all its abominations from it. 19 And I will give them one heart, and
put a new spirit within them. And I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give
them a heart of flesh, 20 that they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances and do

saying, 2Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to
those who prophesy from their own inspiration, Listen to the word of the LORD! 3Thus
says the Lord GOD, Woe to the foolish prophets who are following their own spirit and
have seen nothing. 4O Israel, your prophets have been like foxes among ruins. 5You have
not gone up into the breaches, nor did you build the wall around the house of Israel to
stand in the battle on the day of the LORD. 6They see falsehood and lying divination who
are saying, The LORD declares,` when the LORD has not sent them; yet they hope for the
fulfillment of their word. 7Did you not see a false vision and speak a lying divination when
you said, The LORD declares,` but it is not I who have spoken?` 8Therefore, thus says
the Lord GOD, Because you have spoken falsehood and seen a lie, therefore behold, I am
against you, declares the Lord GOD. 9So My hand will be against the prophets who see
false visions and utter lying divinations. They will have no place in the council of My
people, nor will they be written down in the register of the house of Israel, nor will they
enter the land of Israel, that you may know that I am the Lord GOD. 10It is definitely
because they have misled My people by saying, Peace!` when there is no peace. And when
