Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not {thy word} against the house of Isaac.

Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop {thy word} toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,

The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open {them}: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive.

The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence {come} the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people {that} shall not profit {them}.

After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.

My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:

Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,

Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm {shall be} uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.

Prophesy ye not, {say they to them that} prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, {that} they shall not take shame. {Prophesy ye...: or, Prophesy not as they prophesy: Heb. Drop, etc}

And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast {them} into the fire.

Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.

Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop {thy word} toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,

The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of {his} glory. {to calve: or, to be in pain} {doth...: or, every whit of it uttereth, etc}

Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not {thy word} against the house of Isaac.

But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it. {punish: Heb. visit upon}

Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,

After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.

Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them;

Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:

Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, {the chief...: or, prince of the chief}

Prophesy ye not, {say they to them that} prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, {that} they shall not take shame. {Prophesy ye...: or, Prophesy not as they prophesy: Heb. Drop, etc}

Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down. {mighty: or, gallants} {the forest...: or, the defenced forest}

{Is} it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?

The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open {them}: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive.

They shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and {are} innumerable.

Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.

Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,
