|
|
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest;
eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
|
|
|
So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
|
|
|
And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and
fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I
eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
|
|
|
And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house
of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
|
|
|
For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of
an hard language, but to the house of Israel;
|
|
|
Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard
language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I
sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.
|
|
|
But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they
will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are
impudent and hardhearted.
|
|
|
Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and
thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
|
|
|
As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear
them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a
rebellious house.
|
|
|
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I
shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with
thine ears.
|
|
|
And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children
of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith
the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will
forbear.
|
|
|
Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a
great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the LORD from
his place.
|
|
|
I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures
that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over
against them, and a noise of a great rushing.
|
|
|
So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in
bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD
was strong upon me.
|
|
|
Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelt by
the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained
there astonished among them seven days.
|
|
|
And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of
the LORD came unto me, saying,
|
|
|
Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of
Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them
warning from me.
|
|
|
When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou
givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from
his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall
die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine
hand.
|
|
|
Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his
wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his
iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
|
|
|
Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness,
and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him,
he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he
shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done
shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine
hand.
|
|
|
Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the
righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live,
because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
|
|
|
And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said unto
me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with
thee.
|
|
|
Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the
glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the
river of Chebar: and I fell on my face.
|
|
|
Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and
spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine
house.
|
|
|
But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon
thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out
among them:
|
|
|
And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth,
that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover:
for they are a rebellious house.
|
|
|
But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou
shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth,
let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for
they are a rebellious house.
|
|
|
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height
was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he
set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
|
|
|
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the
princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the
treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers
of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which
Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
|
|
|
Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the
treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers
of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication
of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they
stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
|
|
|
Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people,
nations, and languages,
|
|
|
That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute,
harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye
fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the
king hath set up:
|
|
|
And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour
be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
|
|
|
Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of
the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of
musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell
down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the
king had set up.
|
|
|
Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and
accused the Jews.
|
|
|
They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live
for ever.
|
|
|
Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall
hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery,
and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and
worship the golden image:
|
|
|
And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be
cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
|
|
|
There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of
the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego;
these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy
gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
|
|
|
Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men
before the king.
|
|
|
Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor
worship the golden image which I have set up?
|
|
|
Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the
cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all
kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I
have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the
same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who
is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?
|
|
|
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the
king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in
this matter.
|
|
|
If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from
the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine
hand, O king.
|
|
|
But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not
serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast
set up.
|
|
|
Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his
visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego:
therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the
furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
|
|
|
And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to
bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into
the burning fiery furnace.
|
|
|
Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and
their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the
midst of the burning fiery furnace.
|
|
|
Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the
furnace exceeding hot, the flames of the fire slew those men
that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
|
|
|
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell
down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
|
|
|
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in
haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we
cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered
and said unto the king, True, O king.
|
|
|
He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the
midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the
fourth is like the Son of God.
|
|
|
Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning
fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and
come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth
of the midst of the fire.
|
|
|
And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's
counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon
whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their
head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell
of fire had passed on them.
|
|
|
Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and
delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed
the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not
serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
|
|
|
Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and
language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and
their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no
other God that can deliver after this sort.
|
|
|
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the
province of Babylon.
