    As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, with a strong hand, an outstretched arm, and outpoured wrath I will rule over you.

  • Ezekiel 20:36

    Just as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you, declares the Lord GOD.

  • Ezekiel 20:38

    And I will purge you of those who rebel and transgress against Me. I will bring them out of the land in which they dwell, but they will not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

  • Ezekiel 20:39

    And as for you, O house of Israel, this is what the Lord GOD says: Go and serve your idols, every one of you. But afterward, you will surely listen to Me, and you will no longer defile My holy name with your gifts and idols.

  • Ezekiel 20:40

    For on My holy mountain, the high mountain of Israel, declares the Lord GOD, there the whole house of Israel, all of them, will serve Me in the land. There I will accept them and will require your offerings and choice gifts, along with all your holy sacrifices.

  • Ezekiel 20:42

    Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I bring you into the land of Israel, the land that I swore to give your fathers.

  • Ezekiel 20:44

    Then you will know, O house of Israel, that I am the LORD, when I have dealt with you for the sake of My name and not according to your wicked ways and corrupt acts, declares the Lord GOD.”

  • Ezekiel 20:45

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

  • Ezekiel 20:47

    Say to the forest of the Negev: Hear the word of the LORD! This is what the Lord GOD says: I am about to ignite in you a fire, and it will devour all your trees, both green and dry. The blazing flame will not be quenched, and by it every face from south to north will be scorched.

  • Ezekiel 20:48

    Then all people will see that I, the LORD, have kindled it; it will not be quenched.”

  • Ezekiel 20:49

    Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD, they are saying of me, ‘Is he not just telling parables?’”

  • Ezekiel 21:1

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

  • Ezekiel 21:3

    and tell her that this is what the LORD says: ‘I am against you, and I will draw My sword from its sheath and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked.

  • Ezekiel 21:5

    Then all flesh will know that I, the LORD, have taken My sword from its sheath, not to return it again.’

  • Ezekiel 21:7

    And when they ask, ‘Why are you groaning?’ you are to say, ‘Because of the news that is coming. Every heart will melt, and every hand will go limp. Every spirit will faint, and every knee will turn to water.’ Yes, it is coming and it will surely happen, declares the Lord GOD.”

  • Ezekiel 21:8

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

  • Ezekiel 21:9

    “Son of man, prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord says: ‘A sword, a sword, sharpened and polished—

  • Ezekiel 21:13

    Surely testing will come! And what if even the scepter, which the sword despises, does not continue?’ declares the Lord GOD.

  • Ezekiel 21:17

    I too will strike My hands together, and I will satisfy My wrath.’ I, the LORD, have spoken.”

  • Ezekiel 21:18

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

  • Ezekiel 21:24

    Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have drawn attention to your guilt, exposing your transgressions, so that your sins are revealed in all your deeds—because you have come to remembrance—you shall be taken in hand.

  • Ezekiel 21:26

    This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Remove the turban, and take off the crown. Things will not remain as they are: Exalt the lowly and bring low the exalted.

  • Ezekiel 21:28

    Now prophesy, son of man, and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says concerning the Ammonites and their contempt: ‘A sword! A sword is drawn for slaughter, polished to consume, to flash like lightning—

  • Ezekiel 21:32

    You will be fuel for the fire. Your blood will stain your own land. You will not be remembered, for I, the LORD, have spoken.’”

  • Ezekiel 22:1

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

  • Ezekiel 22:3

    and tell her that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘O city who brings her own doom by shedding blood within her walls and making idols to defile herself,

  • Ezekiel 22:12

    In you they take bribes to shed blood. You engage in usury, take excess interest, and extort your neighbors. But Me you have forgotten, declares the Lord GOD.

  • Ezekiel 22:14

    Will your courage endure or your hands be strong in the day I deal with you? I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will act.

  • Ezekiel 22:16

    And when you have defiled yourself in the eyes of the nations, then you will know that I am the LORD.’”

  • Ezekiel 22:17

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

  • Ezekiel 22:19

    Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because all of you have become dross, behold, I will gather you into Jerusalem.

  • Ezekiel 22:22

    As silver is melted in a furnace, so you will be melted within the city. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have poured out My wrath upon you.’”

  • Ezekiel 22:23

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

  • Ezekiel 22:28

    Her prophets whitewash these deeds by false visions and lying divinations, saying, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says,’ when the LORD has not spoken.

  • Ezekiel 22:31

    So I have poured out My indignation upon them and consumed them with the fire of My fury. I have brought their ways down upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”

  • Ezekiel 23:1

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

  • Ezekiel 23:22

    Therefore, Oholibah, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will incite your lovers against you, those from whom you turned away in disgust. And I will bring them against you from every side—

  • Ezekiel 23:28

    For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Surely I will deliver you into the hands of those you hate, from whom you turned away in disgust.

  • Ezekiel 23:32

    This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You will drink your sister’s cup, a cup deep and wide. It will bring scorn and derision, for it holds so much.

  • Ezekiel 23:34

    You will drink it and drain it; you will dash it to pieces, and tear your breasts. For I have spoken,’ declares the Lord GOD.

  • Ezekiel 23:35

    Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have forgotten Me and have cast Me behind your back, you must bear the consequences of your indecency and prostitution.’”

  • Ezekiel 23:36

    Then the LORD said to me: “Son of man, will you pass judgment against Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.

  • Ezekiel 23:46

    This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Bring a mob against them and consign them to terror and plunder.

  • Ezekiel 23:49

    They will repay you for your indecency, and you will bear the consequences of your sins of idolatry. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’”

  • Ezekiel 24:1

    In the ninth year, on the tenth day of the tenth month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

  • Ezekiel 24:3

    Now speak a parable to this rebellious house and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Put the pot on the fire; put it on and pour in the water.

  • Ezekiel 24:6

    Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed, to the pot now rusted, whose rust will not come off! Empty it piece by piece; cast no lots for its contents.

  • Ezekiel 24:9

    Yes, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed! I, too, will pile the kindling high.

  • Ezekiel 24:14

    I, the LORD, have spoken; the time is coming, and I will act. I will not refrain or show pity, nor will I relent. I will judge you according to your ways and deeds,’ declares the Lord GOD.”

  • Ezekiel 24:15

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

  • Ezekiel 24:20

    So I answered them, “The word of the LORD came to me, saying:

  • Ezekiel 24:21

    Tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I am about to desecrate My sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and the delight of your soul. And the sons and daughters you left behind will fall by the sword.’

  • Ezekiel 24:24

    ‘Thus Ezekiel will be a sign for you; you will do everything that he has done. When this happens, you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’

  • Ezekiel 24:27

    On that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped; you will speak and no longer be mute. So you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the LORD.”

  • Ezekiel 25:1

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

  • Ezekiel 25:3

    Tell the Ammonites to hear the word of the Lord GOD, for this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you exclaimed, “Aha!” when My sanctuary was profaned, when the land of Israel was laid waste, and when the house of Judah went into exile,

  • Ezekiel 25:5

    I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels, and Ammon a resting place for sheep. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’

  • Ezekiel 25:6

    For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you clapped your hands and stomped your feet and rejoiced over the land of Israel with a heart full of contempt,

  • Ezekiel 25:7

    therefore I will indeed stretch out My hand against you and give you as plunder to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples and exterminate you from the countries. I will destroy you, and you will know that I am the LORD.’

  • Ezekiel 25:8

    This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because Moab and Seir said, “Look, the house of Judah is like all the other nations,”

  • Ezekiel 25:11

    So I will execute judgments on Moab, and they will know that I am the LORD.’

  • Ezekiel 25:12

    This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because Edom acted vengefully against the house of Judah, and in so doing incurred grievous guilt,

  • Ezekiel 25:13

    therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will stretch out My hand against Edom and cut off from it both man and beast. I will make it a wasteland, and from Teman to Dedan they will fall by the sword.

  • Ezekiel 25:14

    I will take My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel, and they will deal with Edom according to My anger and wrath. Then they will know My vengeance, declares the Lord GOD.’

  • Ezekiel 25:15

    This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because the Philistines acted in vengeance, taking vengeance with malice of soul to destroy Judah with ancient hostility,

  • Ezekiel 25:16

    therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I will stretch out My hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites and destroy the remnant along the coast.

  • Ezekiel 25:17

    I will execute great vengeance against them with furious reproof. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I lay My vengeance upon them.’”

  • Ezekiel 26:1

    In the eleventh month of the twelfth year, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

  • Ezekiel 26:3

    therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, O Tyre, I am against you, and I will raise up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves.

  • Ezekiel 26:5

    She will become a place to spread nets in the sea, for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD. She will become plunder for the nations,

  • Ezekiel 26:6

    and the villages on her mainland will be slain by the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’

  • Ezekiel 26:7

    For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses and chariots, with cavalry and a great company of troops.

  • Ezekiel 26:14

    I will make you a bare rock, and you will become a place to spread the fishing nets. You will never be rebuilt, for I, the LORD, have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.’

  • Ezekiel 26:15

    This is what the Lord GOD says to Tyre: ‘Will not the coastlands quake at the sound of your downfall, when the wounded groan at the slaughter in your midst?

  • Ezekiel 26:19

    For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When I make you a desolate city like other deserted cities, and when I raise up the deep against you so that the mighty waters cover you,

  • Ezekiel 26:21

    I will make you an object of horror, and you will be no more. You will be sought, but will never be found,’ declares the Lord GOD.”

  • Ezekiel 27:1

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

  • Ezekiel 27:3

    Tell Tyre, who dwells at the gateway to the sea, merchant of the peoples on many coasts, that this is what the Lord GOD says: You have said, O Tyre, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’

  • Ezekiel 28:1

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

  • Ezekiel 28:2

    “Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre that this is what the Lord GOD says: Your heart is proud, and you have said, ‘I am a god; I sit in the seat of gods in the heart of the sea.’ Yet you are a man and not a god, though you have regarded your heart as that of a god.

  • Ezekiel 28:6

    Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you regard your heart as the heart of a god,

  • Ezekiel 28:9

    Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’ in the presence of those who slay you? You will be only a man, not a god, in the hands of those who wound you.

  • Ezekiel 28:10

    You will die the death of the uncircumcised at the hands of foreigners. For I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.”

  • Ezekiel 28:11

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

  • Ezekiel 28:12

    “Son of man, take up a lament for the king of Tyre and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

  • Ezekiel 28:13

    You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every kind of precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald. Your mountings and settings were crafted in gold, prepared on the day of your creation.

  • Ezekiel 28:14

    You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for I had ordained you. You were on the holy mountain of God; you walked among the fiery stones.

  • Ezekiel 28:16

    By the vastness of your trade, you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mountain of God, and I banished you, O guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones.

  • Ezekiel 28:20

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

  • Ezekiel 28:22

    And you are to declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against you, O Sidon, and I will be glorified within you. They will know that I am the LORD when I execute judgments against her and demonstrate My holiness through her.

  • Ezekiel 28:23

    I will send a plague against her and shed blood in her streets; the slain will fall within her, while the sword is against her on every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD.

  • Ezekiel 28:24

    For the people of Israel will no longer face a pricking brier or a painful thorn from all around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.’

  • Ezekiel 28:25

    This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they have been scattered, I will show Myself holy among them in the sight of the nations. Then they will dwell in their own land, which I have given to My servant Jacob.

  • Ezekiel 28:26

    And there they will dwell securely, build houses, and plant vineyards. They will dwell securely when I execute judgments against all those around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.’”

  • Ezekiel 29:1

    In the tenth year, on the twelfth day of the tenth month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

  • Ezekiel 29:3

    Speak to him and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Pharaoh king of Egypt, O great monster who lies among his rivers, who says, ‘The Nile is mine; I made it myself.’

  • Ezekiel 29:6

    Then all the people of Egypt will know that I am the LORD. For you were only a staff of reeds to the house of Israel.

  • Ezekiel 29:8

    Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will bring a sword against you and cut off from you man and beast.

  • Ezekiel 29:9

    The land of Egypt will become a desolate wasteland. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because you said, ‘The Nile is mine; I made it,’

  • Ezekiel 29:13

    For this is what the Lord GOD says: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations to which they were scattered.

  • Ezekiel 29:16

    Egypt will never again be an object of trust for the house of Israel, but will remind them of their iniquity in turning to the Egyptians. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”

  • Ezekiel 29:17

    In the twenty-seventh year, on the first day of the first month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

  • Ezekiel 29:19

    Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who will carry off its wealth, seize its spoil, and remove its plunder. This will be the wages for his army.

  • Ezekiel 29:20

    I have given him the land of Egypt as the reward for his labor, because it was done for Me, declares the Lord GOD.

  • Ezekiel 29:21

    In that day I will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel, and I will open your mouth to speak among them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”

  • Ezekiel 30:1

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

  • Ezekiel 30:2

    “Son of man, prophesy and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Wail, ‘Alas for that day!’

  • Ezekiel 30:3

    For the day is near, the Day of the LORD is near. It will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations.

  • Ezekiel 30:6

    For this is what the LORD says: The allies of Egypt will fall, and her proud strength will collapse. From Migdol to Syene they will fall by the sword within her, declares the Lord GOD.

  • Ezekiel 30:8

    Then they will know that I am the LORD when I set fire to Egypt and all her helpers are shattered.

  • Ezekiel 30:10

    This is what the Lord GOD says: I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

  • Ezekiel 30:12

    I will make the streams dry up and sell the land to the wicked. By the hands of foreigners I will bring desolation upon the land and everything in it. I, the LORD, have spoken.

  • Ezekiel 30:13

    This is what the Lord GOD says: I will destroy the idols and put an end to the images in Memphis. There will no longer be a prince in Egypt, and I will instill fear in that land.

  • Ezekiel 30:19

    So I will execute judgment on Egypt, and they will know that I am the LORD.”

  • Ezekiel 30:20

    In the eleventh year, on the seventh day of the first month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

  • Ezekiel 30:22

    Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt. I will break his arms, both the strong one and the one already broken, and will make the sword fall from his hand.

  • Ezekiel 30:25

    I will strengthen the arms of Babylon’s king, but Pharaoh’s arms will fall limp. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I place My sword in the hand of Babylon’s king, and he wields it against the land of Egypt.

  • Ezekiel 30:26

    I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”

  • Ezekiel 31:1

    In the eleventh year, on the first day of the third month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

  • Ezekiel 31:8

    The cedars in the garden of God could not rival it; the cypresses could not compare with its branches, nor the plane trees match its boughs. No tree in the garden of God could compare with its beauty.

  • Ezekiel 31:9

    I made it beautiful with its many branches, the envy of all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God.’

  • Ezekiel 31:10

    Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Since it became great in height and set its top among the clouds, and it grew proud on account of its height,

  • Ezekiel 31:15

    This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘On the day it was brought down to Sheol, I caused mourning. I covered the deep because of it; I held back its rivers; its abundant waters were restrained. I made Lebanon mourn for it, and all the trees of the field fainted because of it.

  • Ezekiel 31:18

    Who then is like you in glory and greatness among the trees of Eden? You also will be brought down to the depths of the earth to be with the trees of Eden. You will lie among the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares the Lord GOD.’”

  • Ezekiel 32:1

    In the twelfth year, on the first day of the twelfth month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

  • Ezekiel 32:3

    This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will spread My net over you with a company of many peoples, and they will draw you up in My net.

  • Ezekiel 32:8

    All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken over you, and I will bring darkness upon your land,’ declares the Lord GOD.

  • Ezekiel 32:11

    For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘The sword of the king of Babylon will come against you!

  • Ezekiel 32:14

    Then I will let her waters settle and will make her rivers flow like oil,’ declares the Lord GOD.

  • Ezekiel 32:15

    ‘When I make the land of Egypt a desolation and empty it of all that filled it, when I strike down all who live there, then they will know that I am the LORD.’

  • Ezekiel 32:16

    This is the lament they will chant for her; the daughters of the nations will chant it. Over Egypt and all her multitudes they will chant it, declares the Lord GOD.”

  • Ezekiel 32:17

    In the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

  • Ezekiel 32:31

    Pharaoh will see them and be comforted over all his multitude— Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword, declares the Lord GOD.

  • Ezekiel 32:32

    For I will spread My terror in the land of the living, so that Pharaoh and all his multitude will be laid to rest among the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword, declares the Lord GOD.”

  • Ezekiel 33:1

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

  • Ezekiel 33:11

    Say to them: ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked should turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?’

  • Ezekiel 33:17

    Yet your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But it is their way that is not just.

  • Ezekiel 33:20

    Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But I will judge each of you according to his ways, O house of Israel.”

  • Ezekiel 33:22

    Now the evening before the fugitive arrived, the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He opened my mouth before the man came to me in the morning. So my mouth was opened and I was no longer mute.

  • Ezekiel 33:23

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

  • Ezekiel 33:25

    Therefore tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You eat meat with the blood in it, lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. Should you then possess the land?

  • Ezekiel 33:27

    Tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘As surely as I live, those in the ruins will fall by the sword, those in the open field I will give to be devoured by wild animals, and those in the strongholds and caves will die by plague.

  • Ezekiel 33:29

    Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have made the land a desolate waste because of all the abominations they have committed.’

  • Ezekiel 33:30

    As for you, son of man, your people are talking about you near the city walls and in the doorways of their houses. One speaks to another, each saying to his brother, ‘Come and hear the message that has come from the LORD!’

  • Ezekiel 34:1

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

  • Ezekiel 34:2

    “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the shepherds of Israel, who only feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed their flock?

  • Ezekiel 34:7

    Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:

  • Ezekiel 34:8

    ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, because My flock lacks a shepherd and has become prey and food for every wild beast, and because My shepherds did not search for My flock but fed themselves instead,

  • Ezekiel 34:9

    therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD!’

  • Ezekiel 34:10

    This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will demand from them My flock and remove them from tending the flock, so that they can no longer feed themselves. For I will deliver My flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them.’

  • Ezekiel 34:11

    For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I Myself will search for My flock and seek them out.

  • Ezekiel 34:15

    I will tend My flock and make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD.

  • Ezekiel 34:17

    This is what the Lord GOD says to you, My flock: ‘I will judge between one sheep and another, between the rams and the goats.

  • Ezekiel 34:20

    Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says to them: ‘Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.

  • Ezekiel 34:24

    I, the LORD, will be their God, and My servant David will be a prince among them. I, the LORD, have spoken.

  • Ezekiel 34:27

    The trees of the field will give their fruit, and the land will yield its produce; My flock will be secure in their land. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bars of their yoke and delivered them from the hands that enslaved them.

  • Ezekiel 34:30

    Then they will know that I, the LORD their God, am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are My people,’ declares the Lord GOD.

  • Ezekiel 34:31

    ‘You are My flock, the sheep of My pasture, My people, and I am your God,’ declares the Lord GOD.”

  • Ezekiel 35:1

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

  • Ezekiel 35:3

    and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Mount Seir. I will stretch out My hand against you and make you a desolate waste.

  • Ezekiel 35:4

    I will turn your cities into ruins, and you will become a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

  • Ezekiel 35:6

    therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will give you over to bloodshed and it will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, it will pursue you.

  • Ezekiel 35:9

    I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

  • Ezekiel 35:10

    Because you have said, ‘These two nations and countries will be ours, and we will possess them,’ even though the LORD was there,

  • Ezekiel 35:11

Dictionary

From Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897), as attached to this record by Theographic. The entry is for the name and can describe more than one person who bore it. Easton wrote in 1897, and some of his views are now debated.

Read Easton’s entry

(A.S. and Dutch God; Dan. Gud; Ger. Gott), the name of the Divine Being. It is the rendering (1) of the Hebrew ’El, from a word meaning to be strong; (2) of ’Eloah_, plural _’Elohim. The singular form, Eloah, is used only in poetry. The plural form is more commonly used in all parts of the Bible, The Hebrew word Jehovah (q.v.), the only other word generally employed to denote the Supreme Being, is uniformly rendered in the Authorized Version by “LORD,” printed in small capitals. The existence of God is taken for granted in the Bible. There is nowhere any argument to prove it. He who disbelieves this truth is spoken of as one devoid of understanding (Ps. 14:1).
