upon the heads of every size to hunt beings! Will you hunt
the beings of My people, and will you save the beings
alive that come to you?
19 And will you profane Me among My own people for
handfuls of barley and for pieces of lechem, to slay the
beings that should not die, and to save the beings alive
that should not be alive, by your lying to My people that
listen to your lies?
20 Therefore this says the Master vuvh; See, I am against
your magic charms, with which you hunt the beings like
birds, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let
the beings go, even the beings that you hunt like birds.
21 Your veils also will I tear, and deliver My people out
of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to
be hunted; and you shall know that I am vuvh.
22 Because with lies you have made the lev of the tzadik
sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the
hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his
wicked derech, by promising him chayim:
23 Therefore you shall see no more vanity, nor practice
divinations: for I will deliver My people out of your hand:
and you shall know that I am vuvh.
14 Then came certain of the zechanim of Yisrael to me,
and sat before me.
2 And the word of vuvh came to me, saying,
3 Ben-Ahdahm, these men have set up their idols in their
lev, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before
their faces: should I let them seek Me?
4 Therefore speak to them, and say to them, This says the
Master vuvh; Every man of Beit Yisrael that sets up his
idols in his lev, and puts the stumbling block of his
iniquity before his face, and comes to the navi; I vuvh will
answer him that comes according to the multitude of his
idols;
5 That I may take hold of Beit Yisrael by their own lev,
because they are all estranged from Me through their
idols.
6 Therefore say to Beit Yisrael, This says the Master
vuvh; Make teshuvah, and turn yourselves away from
your idols; and turn away your faces from all your
abominations.
7 For every one of Beit Yisrael, or of the ger that sojourns
in Yisrael, who separates himself from Me, and sets up his
idols in his lev, and puts the stumbling block of his
iniquity before his face, and comes to a navi to inquire of
him concerning Me; I vuvh will answer him by Myself:
8 And I will set My face against that man, and will make
him an ot and a mishle, and I will cut him off from the
midst of My people; and you shall know that I am vuvh.
9 And if the navi is deceived when he has spoken a thing,
I vuvh have deceived that navi, and I will stretch out My
hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of My
people Yisrael.
10 And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity:
the punishment of the navi shall be even as the
punishment of him that goes to him;
11 That Beit Yisrael may not go astray from Me anymore,
neither be defiled any more with all their transgressions;
but that they may be My people-Ami, and I may be their
Elohim, says the Master vuvh.
12 The word of vuvh came again to me, saying,
13 Ben-adam, when the land sins against Me by trespassing

grievously, then will I stretch out My hand upon it, and will
cut off the supply of the lechem, and will send famine upon it,
and will cut off man and beast from it:
14 Though these three men, Noach, Daniyel, and Iyov,
were in it, they should deliver only their own beings by
their tzedakah, says the Master vuvh.
15 If I cause evil beasts to pass through the land, and they
spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass
through because of the beasts:
16 Though these three men were in it, as I live, says the
Master vuvh, they shall deliver neither their sons nor
their daughters; 2384 they only shall be delivered, but the
land shall be desolate.
17 Or, if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword,
go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from
it:
18 Though these three men were in it, as I live, says the
Master vuvh, they shall deliver neither their sons nor
daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
19 Or, if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out
My anger upon it for dahm, to cut off from it man and
beast:
20 Though Noach, Daniyel, and Iyov, were in it, as I live,
says the Master vuvh, they shall deliver neither their son
nor daughter; they shall only deliver their own beings by
their tzedakah.
21 For this says the Master vuvh; How much more when I
send My four sore mishpatim upon Yahrushalayim, the
sword, and the famine, and the evil beast, and the
pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
22 Yet, see, in it shall be left a remnant that shall be
brought out, both sons and daughters: see, they shall
come out to you, and you shall see their derech and their
doings: and you shall be comforted concerning the evil
that I have brought upon Yahrushalayim, even concerning
all that I have brought upon it.
23 And they shall comfort you, when you see their
halachot and their doings: and you shall know that I have
not done without a cause all that I have done in it, says
the Master vuvh.

And the word of vuvh. came to me, saying,
2 Ben-adam, Why is the vine eytz better than any other
eytz, or than a branch which is among the eytzim of the
forest?
3 Shall wood be taken from it to make it into woodwork?
Or, will men take a peg of it to hang any vessel on it?
4 See, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devours both
its ends, and the middle of it is burned. Is it fit for any
woodwork?
5 See, when it was whole, it was fit for no woodwork: how
much less shall it be fit for any woodwork, when the fire
has devoured it, and it is burned?
6 Therefore this says the Master vuvh; As the vine eytz is
among the eytzim of the forest, which I have given to the
fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of
Yahrushalayim.
7 And I will set My face against them; they shall go out
from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and
you shall know that I am vuvh, when I set My face against
them.
8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have
