Or will men take a pin of it to hang any vefiel thereon? 4 Behold, it is caft into the fire for fuel; the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the midft of it is burned. Is it meet for any work? 5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much lefs thail it be meet yet for any work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned? 6 Therefore thus faith the Lord God; As the vine tree among the trees of the forent, which I have given to the fire for fuel, fo will give the inhabitants of Jerufalem.

Is this of thy whoredoms a fmall matter? 21 That thou haft flain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pafs through the fire for them? 22 And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou haft not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou waft na and judgments. ked and hare, and waft polluted in thy blood. 23 And it came to pats after all thy wick. edness, (woe, woe unto thee! faith the Lord GOD;) 24 That thou haft alfo built unto thee an eminent place, and haft made thee an high place in every street. 25 Thou haft built thy high place at every head of the way, and haft made thy beauty to be abhorred, and haft opened thy feet to every one that paffed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms. 26 Thou haft alfo committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and haft increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger. 27 Behold, therefore I have Atretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are athamed of thy lewd way. 28 Thou hast played the whore also with the Affyrians, because thou wait unfatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldeit not be satisfied. 29 Thou haft moreover multiplied thy for. nication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wait not fatisfied herewith. 30 How weak is thine heart, faith the Lord GOD, feeing thou doet all these things, the work of an imperious whorith woman; 31 In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and mak. eft thine high place in every ftreet; and haft not been as an harlot, in that thou fcorneit hire; 32 But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh tirangers inftead of her huiband! 33 They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest the gifts to all thy lovers, and hireft them, that they may come unto thee on every fide for thy whoredom. 34 And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms and in that thou giveft a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art con trary. 33¶Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD: 36 Thus faith the Lord Goo; Because thy filihinefs was poured out, and thy nakedneís discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abomina tions, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didit give unto them; 37 Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou haft taken pleasure, and all them that thou haft loved, with all them that thou haft hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will dif cover thy nakednefs unto them, that they may fee all thy nakedness. 38 And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and thed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy. 39 And I will alfo give thee into their hand, and they fhall throw down thine eminent place, and fhall break down thy high places: they hall trip thee alfo of thy clothes, and thall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare. 40 They shall alfo bring up a company Jerufalem worse than Sodom.

CHAP. XVII. 1 By two eagles and a vine, x1 is fbewed God! judgment upon Jerufalem. 22 God promij eth to plant the cedar of the gospel. 47 Yet haft thou not walked after their ways, AND the word of the LORD came unto me, nor done after their abominations; but, as if that were a very little thing, thou waft corrupted more than they in all thy ways. 48 As live, faith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy fifter hath not done, the nor her daughters, as thou haft done, thou and thy daughters. 49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy filter Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I faw good. Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy fins; but thou haft multiplied thine abominations more than they, and haft juftified thy fifters in all thine abominations which thou hast done. 52 Thou alfo, which haft judged thy fifters, bear thine own thame, for thy fins that thou haft committed more abominable than they they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded alfo, and bear thy thame, in that thou haft juftified thy fifters. 53 When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them: $4 That thou mayeft bear thine own fhame, and mayeit be confounded in all that thou hat done, in that thou art a comfort unto them. 55 When thy fifters, Sodom and her daughters, thall return to their former ettate, and Samaria and her daughters thall return to their former eftate, then thou and thy daughters Thall return to your former eftate." 36 For thy fifter Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride, 57 Before thy wickednefs was discovered, 19 at the time of thy reproach of the daugh. faying, 2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Ifrael; 3 And fay, Thus faith 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 let it in a city of merchants. 5 He took alfo of the feed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and fet it as a willow tree. 6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low ftature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: fo it became a vine, and brought forth branch. es, and thot forth fprigs. 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 foil 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 faith the Lord God: Shall it profper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? It fhall wither in all the leaves of her fpring, even without great power or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof. 10 Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prof. per? Shall it not utterly wither, when the eaft wind toucheth it? It shall wither in the furrows where it grew. II Moreover, the word of the LORD came unto me, faying," 12 Say now to the rebellious houfe, Know ye not what thefe things mean? Tell them, God's judgment and Chap. xviii. Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerufalem, 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 feed, and made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath alfo taken the mighty of the land: 14 That the kingdom might be bafe, that it might not litt itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it night ftand. 15 But he rebelled against him in fending his ambaffadors into Egypt, that they might give him horfes and much people. Shall he profper Shall he efcape that doeth fuch things? Or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered? 16 As I live, faith the Lord God, furcly in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whofe oath he defpifed, and whofe covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he thall die. 17 Neither thall Pharaoh, with his mighty army and great company make for him in the war, by cafting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many perfons: 18 Seeing he defpifed the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he thall not escape. 19 Therefore thus faith the Lord GoD, As I live, furely mine oath that he hath defpifed, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I recompenfe upon his own head. 20 And 1 will spread my net upon him, and he thall be taken in my fnare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his trefpafs that he hath trefpaffed against me. 21 And all his fugitives with all his bands fhall fall by the fword, and they that remain thall be scattered toward all winds; and ye hall know that I the LORD have spoken it. 22 Thus faith the Lord Gor; I will allo take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will fet it; I will crop on from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent. 23 la the mountain of the height of Ifrael 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 fhall they dwell. 24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high pe, 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. juftice in punishing 4 Behold, all fouls are mine; as the foul o the father, fo alfo the foul of the son is mine the four that finneth, it thall die. But if a man be juft, 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 Ifrael, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a menftruous woman, 7 And hath not oppreffed 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 ufury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath exe. cuted true judgment between inan and man, 9 Hath walked in my ftatutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he hall furely live, faith the Lord God. 10 If he beget a fon that is a robber, a fhedder of blood, and that doeth the like to any one of these things, II And that doeth not any of those duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife, 12 Math oppreffed the poor and needy, hath fpoiled by violence, hath not reftored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination, 13 Hath given forth upon ufury, and hath taken increase: fhall he then live? He shall not live: he hath done all thefe abominations; he shall furely die; his blood thall be upon him. 14 Now, lo, if he beget a fon, that feeth all his father's fins which he hath done, and confidereth, and doeth not fuch like, 15 That hath not eaten upon the moun❤ tains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the houfe of Ifrael, hath not defiled his neighbour's wife, 16 Neither hath oppreffed 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 ufury nor in creafe, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my flatutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall furely live. 18 As for his father, because he cruelly op preffed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, lo, even he thall die in his iniquity. 19 Yet fay ye, Why? Doth not the fon bear the iniquity of the father? When the fon hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, be hall furely live. 20 The foul that finneth, it fhall die. The fon fhall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither fhall the father bear the iniquity of the fon: the righteoufnefs of the righteous fhall be upon him, and the wickednefs of the wicked fhall be upon him. 21 But if the wicked will turn from all his fins that he hath committed, and keep all my ftatutes, and do that which is law ful and right, he thall furely live, he shall no die. 22 All his tranfgreffions that he hath com Parable of the lion's nohelps.

All his righteousness that he hath done thall not be mentioned in his trefpafs that he hath trefpaffed, and in his fin that he hath finned, in them fhall he die. 25 Yet ye fay, The way of the LORD is not equal.

O houfe of Ifrael, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal? 30 Therefore I will judge you O houfe of Ifrael, every one according to his ways, faith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn your Jelves from all your tranfgreffions; fo iniquity thall not be your ruin. 31 Cait away from you all your tranf greifions whereby ye have tranfgreffed; and make you a new heart and a new fpirit: for why will ye die, O houfe of Ifrael? 32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, faith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourfelves, and live ye.

AND it came to pass in the seventh year in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Ifrael came to enquire of the LORD, and fat before me. 2 Then came the word of the LORD unte me, saying, 3 Son of man, fpeak unto the elders of Ifrael, and fay unto them, Thus faith the Lord GOD; Are ye come to enquire of me!
