Chapter 11

1Then a spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the House of Hashem, which faces eastward; and there, at the entrance of the gate, were twenty-five men, among whom I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.

2[Hashem] said to me, “O mortal, these are the men who plan iniquity and plot wickedness in this city,

3who say: ‘There is no need now to build houses; this [city] is the pot, and we are the meat.'

5Thereupon the spirit of Hashem fell upon me, and He said to me, “Speak: Thus said Hashem: Such are your thoughts, O House of Yisrael; I know what comes into your mind.

7Assuredly, thus says Hashem: The corpses that you have piled up in it are the meat for which it is the pot; but you shall be taken out of it.

8You feared the sword, and the sword I will bring upon you—declares Hashem.

10You shall fall by the sword; I will punish you at the border of Yisrael. And you shall know that I am Hashem.

12Then you shall know that I am Hashem, whose laws you did not follow and whose rules you did not obey, acting instead according to the rules of the nations around you.”

13Now, as I prophesied, Pelatiah son of Benaiah dropped dead. I threw myself upon my face and cried out aloud, “Ah, Hashem! You are wiping out the remnant of Yisrael!”

vai-HI, k'-hi-na-VEE, u-f'-la-ti-YA-hu ben b'-na-YA met, va-E-pol al pa-NAI, va-ez-AK kol-GADOL, va-o-MAR, a-HA a-do-NAI, y'-ho-VAH, ka-LAH a-TAH o-SEH, AYT sh'-AY-REET yis-ra-AYL. (P)

14Then the word of Hashem came to me:

vai-HI d'-var a-do-NAI e-LAI lay-MOR

ידוַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהֹוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

15“O mortal, [I will save] your brothers, your brothers, the men of your kindred, all of that very House of Yisrael to whom the inhabitants of Yerushalayim say, ‘Keep far from Hashem; the land has been given as a heritage to us.'

16Say then: Thus said Hashem: I have indeed removed them far among the nations and have scattered them among the countries, and I have become to them a diminished sanctity in the countries whither they have gone.

la-KHEN e-MOR ko-AMAR a-do-NAI ye-ho-VEH, KI hir-khak-TEEM ba-go-YIM, v'-KI ha-fee-TZO-TEEM ba-a-ra-TZOT, va-e-HI la-HEM l'-mik-DASH me-AT ba-a-ra-TZOT a-SHER-ba-U sham. (SeLaH)

17Yet say: Thus said Hashem: I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the Land of Yisrael.

18And they shall return there, and do away with all its detestable things and all its abominations.

19I will give them one heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove the heart of stone from their bodies and give them a heart of flesh,

20that they may follow My laws and faithfully observe My rules. Then they shall be My people and I will be their God.

21But as for them whose heart is set upon their detestable things and their abominations, I will repay them for their conduct—declares Hashem.”

22Then the cherubs, with the wheels beside them, lifted their wings, while the Presence of the God of Yisrael rested above them.

23The Presence of Hashem ascended from the midst of the city and stood on the hill east of the city.

24A spirit carried me away and brought me in a vision by the spirit of Hashem to the exile community in Chaldea. Then the vision that I had seen left me,
