But Jeremiah<S>3414</S> said,<S>559</S> "A lie!<S>8267</S> I am not going<S>5307</S> over<S>5307</S> to the Chaldeans<S>3778</S>"; yet he would not listen<S>8085</S> to him. So Irijah<S>3376</S> arrested<S>8610</S> Jeremiah<S>3414</S> and brought<S>935</S> him to the officials.<S>8269</S>


text:
Then the officials<S>8269</S> were angry<S>7107</S> at Jeremiah<S>3414</S> and beat<S>5221</S> him, and they put<S>5414</S> him in jail<S>1004</S> <S>612</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Jonathan<S>3083</S> the scribe,<S>9373</S> which they had made<S>6213</S> into the prison.<S>1004</S> <S>3608</S>

<pb/>For Jeremiah<S>3414</S> had come<S>935</S> into the dungeon,<S>1004</S> <S>953</S> that is, the vaulted<S>2588</S> cell;<S>2588</S> and Jeremiah<S>3414</S> stayed<S>3427</S> there<S>8033</S> many<S>7227</S> days.<S>3117</S>


text:
Now King<S>4428</S> Zedekiah<S>6667</S> sent<S>7971</S> and took<S>3947</S> him [out;] and in his palace<S>1004</S> the king<S>4428</S> secretly<S>5643</S> asked<S>7592</S> him and said,<S>559</S> "Is there<S>3426</S> a word<S>1697</S> from the Lord<S>3068</S>?" And Jeremiah<S>3414</S> said,<S>559</S> "There<S>3426</S> is!" Then he said,<S>559</S> "You will be given<S>5414</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon!<S>894</S>"


text:
Moreover Jeremiah<S>3414</S> said<S>559</S> to King<S>4428</S> Zedekiah,<S>6667</S> "[In] what<S>4100</S> [way] have I sinned<S>2398</S> against you, or against your servants,<S>5650</S> or against this<S>2088</S> people,<S>5971</S> that you have put<S>5414</S> me in prison<S>1004</S> <S>3608</S>?


text:
"Where<S>346</S> then are your prophets<S>5030</S> who<S>834</S> prophesied<S>5012</S> to you, saying,<S>559</S> 'The king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> will not come<S>935</S> against<S>5921</S> you or against<S>5921</S> this<S>384</S> land<S>776</S>'?

"But now,<S>6258</S> please<S>4994</S> listen,<S>8085</S> O my lord<S>113</S> the king;<S>4428</S> please<S>4994</S> let my petition<S>8467</S> come<S>5307</S> before<S>6440</S> you, and do not make me return<S>7725</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Jonathan<S>3083</S> the scribe,<S>9373</S> that I may not die<S>4191</S> there.<S>8033</S>"


text:
Then King<S>4428</S> Zedekiah<S>6667</S> gave<S>6680</S> commandment,<S>6680</S> and they committed<S>6485</S> Jeremiah<S>3414</S> to the court<S>2691</S> of the guardhouse<S>4307</S> and gave<S>5414</S> him a loaf<S>3603</S> of bread<S>3899</S> daily<S>3117</S> from the bakers' street,<S>2351</S> until<S>5704</S> all<S>3605</S> the bread<S>3899</S> in the city<S>5892</S> was gone.<S>8552</S> So Jeremiah<S>3414</S> remained<S>3427</S> in the court<S>2691</S> of the guardhouse.<S>4307</S>

Then the officials<S>8269</S> said<S>559</S> to the king,<S>4428</S> "Now<S>4994</S> let this<S>2088</S> man<S>376</S> be put<S>4191</S> to death,<S>4191</S> inasmuch<S>3588</S> <S>5921</S> <S>3651</S> as he is discouraging<S>7503</S> <S>3027</S> the men<S>376</S> of war<S>4421</S> who are left<S>7604</S> in this<S>384</S> city<S>5892</S> and all<S>3605</S> the people,<S>5971</S> by speaking<S>1696</S> such<S>428</S> words<S>1697</S> to them; for this<S>2088</S> man<S>376</S> is not seeking<S>1875</S> the well-being of this<S>2088</S> people,<S>5971</S> but rather<S>3588</S> <S>518</S> their harm.<S>9567</S>"

So King<S>4428</S> Zedekiah<S>6667</S> said,<S>559</S> "Behold,<S>2009</S> he is in your hands;<S>3027</S> for the king<S>4428</S> can<S>3201</S> [do] nothing<S>369</S> <S>1697</S> against you."

Then they took<S>3947</S> Jeremiah<S>3414</S> and cast<S>7993</S> him into the cistern<S>953</S> [of] Malchijah<S>4441</S> the king's son,<S>1121</S> which<S>834</S> was in the court<S>2691</S> of the guardhouse;<S>4307</S> and they let<S>7971</S> Jeremiah<S>3414</S> down<S>7971</S> with ropes.<S>9112</S> Now in the cistern<S>953</S> there<S>369</S> was no<S>369</S> water<S>4325</S> but only<S>518</S> mud,<S>2916</S> and Jeremiah<S>3414</S> sank<S>2883</S> into the mud.<S>2916</S>

But Ebed-melech the Ethiopian,<S>3569</S> a eunuch,<S>5631</S> while he was in the king<S>4428</S>'s palace,<S>1004</S> heard<S>8085</S> that they had put<S>5414</S> Jeremiah<S>3414</S> into the cistern.<S>953</S> Now the king was sitting<S>3427</S> in the Gate<S>8179</S> of Benjamin;<S>1144</S>

"My lord<S>113</S> the king,<S>4428</S> these<S>428</S> men<S>376</S> have acted<S>7489</S> wickedly<S>7489</S> in all<S>3605</S> that they have done<S>6213</S> to Jeremiah<S>3414</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> whom<S>834</S> they have cast<S>7993</S> into the cistern;<S>953</S> and he will die<S>4191</S> right<S>8478</S> where<S>8478</S> he is because<S>4480</S> <S>6440</S> of the famine,<S>7458</S> for there<S>369</S> is no<S>369</S> more<S>5750</S> bread<S>3899</S> in the city.<S>5892</S>"

So Ebed-melech took<S>3947</S> the men<S>376</S> under his authority<S>3027</S> and went<S>935</S> into the king's palace<S>1004</S> to [a place] beneath<S>8478</S> the storeroom<S>214</S> and took<S>3947</S> from there<S>8033</S> worn-out clothes<S>5499</S> and worn-out rags<S>4418</S> and let<S>7971</S> them down<S>7971</S> by ropes<S>9112</S> into the cistern<S>953</S> to Jeremiah.<S>3414</S>

But the army<S>2428</S> of the Chaldeans<S>3778</S> pursued<S>7291</S> them and overtook<S>5381</S> Zedekiah<S>6667</S> in the plains<S>6160</S> of Jericho;<S>3405</S> and they seized<S>3947</S> him and brought<S>5927</S> him up to Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S> king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> at Riblah<S>7247</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Hamath,<S>2574</S> and he passed<S>1696</S> sentence<S>1696</S> on him.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> slew<S>7819</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Zedekiah<S>6667</S> before his eyes<S>5869</S> at Riblah;<S>7247</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> also slew<S>7819</S> all<S>3605</S> the nobles<S>2715</S> of Judah.<S>3063</S>


text:
He then blinded<S>5786</S> Zedekiah's eyes<S>5869</S> and bound<S>631</S> him in fetters<S>5178</S> of bronze<S>5178</S> to bring<S>935</S> him to Babylon.<S>894</S>


text:
The Chaldeans<S>3778</S> also burned<S>8313</S> with fire<S>784</S> the king's palace<S>1004</S> and the houses<S>1004</S> of the people,<S>5971</S> and they broke<S>5422</S> down<S>5422</S> the walls<S>2346</S> of Jerusalem.<S>3389</S>


text:
And as for the rest<S>3499</S> of the people<S>5971</S> who were left<S>7604</S> in the city,<S>5892</S> the deserters<S>5307</S> who<S>834</S> had gone<S>5307</S> over<S>5307</S> to him and the rest<S>3499</S> of the people<S>5971</S> who remained,<S>7604</S> Nebuzaradan<S>5018</S> the captain<S>9538</S> of the bodyguard<S>2876</S> carried<S>1540</S> [them] into exile<S>1540</S> in Babylon.<S>894</S>


text:
But some<S>4480</S> of the poorest<S>1800</S> people<S>5971</S> who<S>834</S> had<S>369</S> nothing,<S>369</S> <S>3972</S> Nebuzaradan<S>5018</S> the captain<S>9538</S> of the bodyguard<S>2876</S> left<S>7604</S> behind<S>7604</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Judah,<S>3063</S> and gave<S>5414</S> them vineyards<S>3754</S> and fields<S>3010</S> at that time.<S>3117</S>


text:
<pb/>Now Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S> king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> gave<S>6680</S> orders<S>6680</S> about<S>5921</S> Jeremiah<S>3414</S> through<S>3027</S> Nebuzaradan<S>5018</S> the captain<S>9538</S> of the bodyguard,<S>2876</S> saying,<S>559</S>


text:
"Take<S>3947</S> him and look<S>5869</S> <S>7760</S> after<S>5921</S> him, and do<S>6213</S> nothing<S>408</S> <S>3972</S> harmful<S>9563</S> to him; but rather<S>3588</S> <S>518</S> deal<S>6213</S> with him just<S>9201</S> as he tells<S>1696</S> you."


text:
So Nebuzaradan<S>5018</S> the captain<S>9538</S> of the bodyguard<S>2876</S> sent<S>7971</S> [word,] along with Nebushazban<S>5021</S> the Rab-saris, and Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag, and all<S>3605</S> the leading<S>9538</S> officers<S>9538</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon;<S>894</S>


text:
they even sent<S>7971</S> and took<S>3947</S> Jeremiah<S>3414</S> out of the court<S>2691</S> of the guardhouse<S>4307</S> and entrusted<S>5414</S> him to Gedaliah,<S>9072</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahikam,<S>296</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphan,<S>8227</S> to take<S>3318</S> him home.<S>1004</S> So he stayed<S>3427</S> among<S>8432</S> the people.<S>5971</S>


text:
Now the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> had come<S>1961</S> to Jeremiah<S>3414</S> while he was confined<S>6113</S> in the court<S>2691</S> of the guardhouse,<S>4307</S> saying,<S>559</S>


text:
"Go<S>1980</S> and speak<S>559</S> to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian,<S>3569</S> saying,<S>559</S> 'Thus<S>3541</S> says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> of hosts,<S>6635</S> the God<S>430</S> of Israel,<S>3478</S> "Behold,<S>2009</S> I am about to bring<S>935</S> My words<S>1697</S> on this<S>384</S> city<S>5892</S> for disaster<S>9567</S> and not for prosperity;<S>9186</S> and they will take<S>1961</S> place<S>1961</S> before<S>6440</S> you on that day.<S>3117</S>


text:
"But I will deliver<S>5337</S> you on that day,<S>3117</S>" declares<S>5002</S> the Lord,<S>3068</S> "and you shall not be given<S>5414</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of the men<S>376</S> whom<S>834</S> you dread.<S>3016</S>


text:
"For I will certainly<S>4422</S> rescue<S>4422</S> you, and you will not fall<S>5307</S> by the sword;<S>2719</S> but you will have<S>1961</S> your [own] life<S>5315</S> as booty,<S>7998</S> because<S>3588</S> you have trusted<S>982</S> in Me," declares<S>5002</S> the Lord.<S>3068</S>'"


text:
<pb/>The word<S>1697</S> which<S>834</S> came<S>1961</S> to Jeremiah<S>3414</S> from the Lord<S>3068</S> after<S>310</S> Nebuzaradan<S>5018</S> captain<S>9538</S> of the bodyguard<S>2876</S> had released<S>7971</S> him from Ramah,<S>7414</S> when he had taken<S>3947</S> him bound<S>631</S> in chains,<S>246</S> among<S>8432</S> all<S>3605</S> the exiles<S>1546</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> and Judah,<S>3063</S> who were being exiled<S>1540</S> to Babylon.<S>894</S>


text:
Now the captain<S>9538</S> of the bodyguard<S>2876</S> had taken<S>3947</S> Jeremiah<S>3414</S> and said<S>559</S> to him, "The Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> promised<S>1696</S> this<S>384</S> calamity<S>9567</S> against<S>413</S> this<S>2088</S> place;<S>4725</S>

and the Lord<S>3068</S> has brought<S>935</S> [it] on and done<S>6213</S> just<S>9201</S> as He promised.<S>1696</S> Because<S>3588</S> you [people] sinned<S>2398</S> against the Lord<S>3068</S> and did not listen<S>8085</S> to His voice,<S>6963</S> therefore this<S>2088</S> thing<S>1697</S> has happened<S>1961</S> to you.

"But now,<S>6258</S> behold,<S>2009</S> I am freeing<S>6605</S> you today<S>3117</S> from the chains<S>246</S> which<S>834</S> are on your hands.<S>3027</S> If<S>518</S> you would prefer<S>2895</S> <S>5869</S> to come<S>935</S> with me to Babylon,<S>894</S> come<S>935</S> [along,] and I will look<S>7760</S> <S>5869</S> after<S>5921</S> you; but if<S>518</S> you would prefer<S>7489</S> <S>5869</S> not to come<S>935</S> with me to Babylon,<S>894</S> never<S>2308</S> mind.<S>2308</S> Look,<S>7200</S> the whole<S>3605</S> land<S>776</S> is before<S>6440</S> you; go<S>1980</S> wherever<S>8033</S> it seems good<S>2896</S> and right<S>3477</S> for you to go.<S>1980</S>"


text:
As Jeremiah was still<S>5750</S> not going<S>7725</S> back,<S>7725</S> [he said,] "Go<S>7725</S> on back<S>7725</S> then to Gedaliah<S>1436</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahikam,<S>296</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphan,<S>8227</S> whom<S>834</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> has appointed<S>6485</S> over the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah,<S>3063</S> and stay<S>3427</S> with him among<S>8432</S> the people;<S>5971</S> or<S>176</S> else go<S>1980</S> anywhere<S>3605</S> it seems right<S>3477</S> for you to go.<S>1980</S>" So the captain<S>9538</S> of the bodyguard<S>2876</S> gave<S>5414</S> him a ration<S>737</S> and a gift<S>4864</S> and let<S>7971</S> him go.<S>7971</S>


text:
Then Jeremiah<S>3414</S> went<S>935</S> to Mizpah<S>4709</S> to Gedaliah<S>9072</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahikam<S>296</S> and stayed<S>3427</S> with him among<S>8432</S> the people<S>5971</S> who were left<S>7604</S> in the land.<S>776</S>


text:
Now all<S>3605</S> the commanders<S>8269</S> of the forces<S>2428</S> that were in the field,<S>7704</S> they and their men,<S>376</S> heard<S>8085</S> that the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> had appointed<S>6485</S> Gedaliah<S>9072</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahikam<S>296</S> over the land<S>776</S> and that he had put<S>6485</S> him in charge<S>6485</S> of the men,<S>376</S> women<S>802</S> and children,<S>2945</S> those of the poorest<S>1803</S> of the land<S>776</S> who<S>834</S> had not been exiled<S>1540</S> to Babylon.<S>894</S>

So they came<S>935</S> to Gedaliah<S>1436</S> at Mizpah,<S>4709</S> along with Ishmael<S>3458</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nethaniah,<S>5418</S> and Johanan<S>3076</S> and Jonathan<S>3083</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Kareah,<S>7143</S> and Seraiah<S>8304</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Tanhumeth,<S>8576</S> and the sons<S>1121</S> of Ephai<S>5778</S> the Netophathite,<S>5200</S> and Jezaniah<S>3153</S> the son<S>1121</S> of the Maacathite,<S>4602</S> [both] they and their men.<S>376</S>

Then Gedaliah<S>9072</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahikam,<S>296</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphan,<S>8227</S> swore<S>7650</S> to them and to their men,<S>376</S> saying,<S>559</S> "Do not be afraid<S>3372</S> of serving<S>5647</S> the Chaldeans;<S>3778</S> stay<S>3427</S> in the land<S>776</S> and serve<S>5647</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon,<S>894</S> that it may go<S>3190</S> well<S>3190</S> with you.

"Now as for me, behold,<S>2009</S> I am going to stay<S>3427</S> at Mizpah<S>4709</S> to stand<S>5975</S> [for you] before<S>6440</S> the Chaldeans<S>3778</S> who<S>834</S> come<S>935</S> to us; but as for you, gather<S>622</S> in wine<S>3196</S> and summer<S>7019</S> fruit<S>7019</S> and oil,<S>8081</S> and put<S>7760</S> [them] in your [storage] vessels,<S>3627</S> and live<S>3427</S> in your cities<S>5892</S> that you have taken<S>8610</S> over.<S>8610</S>"

Likewise also<S>1571</S> all<S>3605</S> the Jews<S>3064</S> who<S>834</S> were in Moab<S>4124</S> and among the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> and in Edom,<S>9000</S> and who<S>834</S> were in all<S>3605</S> the [other] countries,<S>776</S> heard<S>8085</S> that the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> had left<S>5414</S> a remnant<S>7611</S> for Judah<S>3063</S> and that he had appointed<S>6485</S> over<S>5921</S> them Gedaliah<S>9072</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahikam,<S>296</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphan.<S>8227</S>

Now Johanan<S>3076</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Kareah<S>7143</S> and all<S>3605</S> the commanders<S>8269</S> of the forces<S>2428</S> that were in the field<S>7704</S> came<S>935</S> to Gedaliah<S>9072</S> at Mizpah,<S>4709</S>

Then Johanan<S>3076</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Kareah<S>7143</S> spoke<S>559</S> secretly<S>5643</S> to Gedaliah<S>9072</S> in Mizpah,<S>4709</S> saying,<S>559</S> "Let me go<S>1980</S> and kill<S>5221</S> Ishmael<S>3458</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nethaniah,<S>5418</S> and not a man<S>376</S> will know!<S>3045</S> Why<S>4100</S> should he take<S>5221</S> your life,<S>5315</S> so that all<S>3605</S> the Jews<S>3063</S> who are gathered<S>6908</S> to you should be scattered<S>6327</S> and the remnant<S>7611</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> perish?"

In the midst of the living<S>9130</S> beings<S>9130</S> there was something that looked<S>4758</S> like burning<S>1197</S> coals<S>1513</S> of fire,<S>784</S> like<S>4758</S> torches<S>3940</S> darting<S>1980</S> back<S>1980</S> and forth among<S>996</S> the living<S>9130</S> beings.<S>9130</S> The fire<S>784</S> was bright,<S>5051</S> and lightning<S>1300</S> was flashing<S>3318</S> from the fire.<S>784</S>

Now above<S>4480</S> <S>4605</S> the expanse<S>7549</S> that was over<S>5921</S> their heads<S>7218</S> there was something<S>1823</S> resembling<S>1823</S> a throne,<S>3678</S> like lapis<S>68</S> <S>5601</S> lazuli<S>68</S> <S>5601</S> in appearance;<S>4758</S> and on that which<S>1823</S> resembled<S>1823</S> a throne,<S>3678</S> high<S>4480</S> <S>4605</S> up, [was] a figure<S>1823</S> with the appearance<S>4758</S> of a man.<S>120</S>

<pb/>Then I looked,<S>7200</S> behold,<S>2009</S> a hand<S>3027</S> was extended<S>7971</S> to me; and lo,<S>2009</S> a scroll<S>4039</S> <S>5612</S> [was] in it.

When He spread<S>6566</S> it out before<S>6440</S> me, it was written<S>3789</S> on the front<S>6440</S> and back;<S>268</S> and written<S>3789</S> on it were lamentations,<S>7015</S> mourning<S>1899</S> and woe.<S>1958</S>

So I opened<S>6605</S> my mouth,<S>6310</S> and He fed<S>398</S> me this<S>384</S> scroll.<S>4039</S>

<pb/>And He said<S>559</S> to me, "Son<S>1121</S> of man,<S>120</S> feed<S>398</S> your stomach,<S>990</S> and fill<S>4390</S> your body<S>4578</S> with this<S>384</S> scroll<S>4039</S> which<S>834</S> I am giving<S>5414</S> you."

<pb/>Then He said<S>559</S> to me, "Son<S>1121</S> of man,<S>120</S> go<S>1980</S> <S>935</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and speak<S>1696</S> with My words<S>1697</S> to them.

Then the Spirit<S>7307</S> lifted<S>5375</S> me up, and I heard<S>8085</S> a great<S>1419</S> rumbling<S>7494</S> sound<S>6963</S> behind<S>310</S> me, "Blessed<S>1288</S> be the glory<S>9202</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> in His place.<S>4725</S>"

So the Spirit<S>7307</S> lifted<S>5375</S> me up and took<S>3947</S> me away; and I went<S>1980</S> embittered<S>4751</S> in the rage<S>2534</S> of my spirit,<S>7307</S> and the hand<S>3027</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> was strong<S>2389</S> on me.

<pb/>Now the cherubim<S>3742</S> were standing<S>5975</S> on the right<S>3225</S> side<S>3225</S> of the temple<S>1004</S> when the man<S>376</S> entered,<S>935</S> and the cloud<S>6051</S> filled<S>4390</S> the inner<S>6442</S> court.<S>2691</S>

Then the glory<S>9202</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> went<S>7311</S> up from the cherub<S>3742</S> to the threshold<S>4670</S> of the temple,<S>1004</S> and the temple<S>1004</S> was filled<S>4390</S> with the cloud,<S>6051</S> and the court<S>2691</S> was filled<S>4390</S> with the brightness<S>5051</S> of the glory<S>9202</S> of the Lord.<S>3068</S>

Moreover, the sound<S>6963</S> of the wings<S>3671</S> of the cherubim<S>3742</S> was heard<S>8085</S> as far<S>5704</S> as the outer<S>2435</S> court,<S>2691</S> like the voice<S>6963</S> of God<S>410</S> Almighty<S>7706</S> when He speaks.<S>1696</S>

<pb/>And it came<S>1961</S> about when He commanded<S>6680</S> the man<S>376</S> clothed<S>3847</S> in linen,<S>906</S> saying,<S>559</S> "Take<S>3947</S> fire<S>784</S> from between<S>996</S> the whirling<S>1534</S> wheels,<S>1534</S> from between<S>996</S> the cherubim,<S>3742</S>" he entered<S>935</S> and stood<S>5975</S> beside<S>681</S> a wheel.<S>212</S>


text:
Then the cherub<S>3742</S> stretched<S>7971</S> out his hand<S>3027</S> from between<S>996</S> the cherubim<S>3742</S> to the fire<S>784</S> which<S>834</S> [was] between<S>996</S> the cherubim,<S>3742</S> took<S>5375</S> some and put<S>5414</S> it into the hands<S>2651</S> of the one clothed<S>3847</S> in linen,<S>906</S> who took<S>3947</S> [it] and went<S>3318</S> out.


text:
And the cherubim<S>3742</S> appeared<S>7200</S> to have the form<S>8403</S> of a man's hand<S>3027</S> under<S>8478</S> their wings.<S>3671</S>


text:
<pb/>Then I looked,<S>7200</S> and behold,<S>2009</S> four<S>702</S> wheels<S>212</S> beside<S>681</S> the cherubim,<S>3742</S> one<S>259</S> wheel<S>212</S> beside<S>681</S> each<S>259</S> cherub;<S>3742</S> and the appearance<S>4758</S> of the wheels<S>212</S> [was] like the gleam<S>5869</S> of a Tarshish<S>8659</S> stone.<S>68</S>


text:
And as for their appearance,<S>4758</S> all four<S>702</S> of them had the same<S>259</S> likeness,<S>1823</S> as if<S>834</S> one wheel<S>212</S> were within<S>8432</S> another wheel.<S>212</S>


text:
When they moved,<S>1980</S> they went<S>1980</S> in [any of] their four<S>702</S> directions<S>7253</S> without<S>3808</S> turning<S>5437</S> as they went;<S>1980</S> but they followed<S>310</S> <S>1980</S> in the direction<S>4725</S> which<S>834</S> they faced,<S>6437</S> <S>7218</S> without<S>3808</S> turning<S>5437</S> as they went.<S>1980</S>

And their whole<S>3605</S> body,<S>1320</S> their backs,<S>1354</S> their hands,<S>3027</S> their wings,<S>3671</S> and the wheels<S>212</S> were full<S>4392</S> of eyes<S>5869</S> all<S>5439</S> around,<S>5439</S> the wheels<S>212</S> belonging to all four<S>702</S> of them.


text:
The wheels<S>212</S> were called<S>7121</S> in my hearing,<S>241</S> the whirling<S>1534</S> wheels.<S>1534</S>


text:
And each<S>259</S> one<S>259</S> had four<S>702</S> faces.<S>6440</S> The first<S>259</S> face<S>6440</S> [was] the face<S>6440</S> of a cherub,<S>3742</S> the second<S>8145</S> face<S>6440</S> [was] the face<S>6440</S> of a man,<S>120</S> the third<S>7992</S> the face<S>6440</S> of a lion,<S>9030</S> and the fourth<S>7243</S> the face<S>6440</S> of an eagle.<S>5404</S>


text:
<pb/>Then the cherubim<S>3742</S> rose<S>7426</S> up. They are the living<S>9130</S> beings<S>9130</S> that I saw<S>7200</S> by the river<S>5104</S> Chebar.<S>3529</S>


text:
Now when the cherubim<S>3742</S> moved,<S>1980</S> the wheels<S>212</S> would go<S>1980</S> beside<S>681</S> them; also when the cherubim<S>3742</S> lifted<S>5375</S> up their wings<S>3671</S> to rise<S>7311</S> from the ground,<S>776</S> the wheels<S>212</S> would not turn<S>5437</S> from beside<S>681</S> them.


text:
When the cherubim stood<S>5975</S> still,<S>5975</S> the wheels would stand<S>5975</S> still;<S>5975</S> and when they rose<S>7426</S> up, the wheels would rise<S>7311</S> with them; for the spirit<S>7307</S> of the living<S>9130</S> beings<S>9130</S> [was] in them.


text:
<pb/>Then the glory<S>9202</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> departed<S>3318</S> from the threshold<S>4670</S> of the temple<S>1004</S> and stood<S>5975</S> over<S>5921</S> the cherubim.<S>3742</S>


text:
When the cherubim<S>3742</S> departed,<S>3318</S> they lifted<S>5375</S> their wings<S>3671</S> and rose<S>7426</S> up from the earth<S>776</S> in my sight<S>5869</S> with the wheels<S>212</S> beside<S>5980</S> them; and they stood<S>5975</S> still<S>5975</S> at the entrance<S>6607</S> of the east<S>6931</S> gate<S>8179</S> of the Lord's house.<S>1004</S> And the glory<S>9202</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> hovered<S>4480</S> <S>4605</S> over<S>5921</S> them.


text:
<pb/>These<S>1931</S> are the living<S>9130</S> beings<S>9130</S> that I saw<S>7200</S> beneath<S>8478</S> the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> by the river<S>5104</S> Chebar;<S>3529</S> so I knew<S>3045</S> that they [were] cherubim.<S>3742</S>


text:
Each<S>259</S> one<S>259</S> had four<S>702</S> faces<S>6440</S> and each<S>259</S> one<S>259</S> four<S>702</S> wings,<S>3671</S> and beneath<S>8478</S> their wings<S>3671</S> [was] the form<S>1823</S> of human<S>120</S> hands.<S>3027</S>


text:
As for the likeness<S>1823</S> of their faces,<S>6440</S> they were the same<S>1992</S> faces<S>6440</S> whose<S>834</S> appearance<S>4758</S> I had seen<S>7200</S> by the river<S>5104</S> Chebar.<S>3529</S> Each<S>376</S> one<S>376</S> went<S>1980</S> straight<S>413</S> <S>5676</S> <S>6440</S> ahead.<S>6440</S>


text:
<pb/>Moreover, the Spirit<S>7307</S> lifted<S>5375</S> me up and brought<S>935</S> me to the east<S>6931</S> gate<S>8179</S> of the Lord's house<S>1004</S> which faced<S>6437</S> eastward.<S>6931</S> And behold,<S>2009</S> [there were] twenty-five men<S>376</S> at the entrance<S>6607</S> of the gate,<S>8179</S> and among<S>8432</S> them I saw<S>7200</S> Jaazaniah<S>2970</S> son<S>1121</S> of Azzur<S>5809</S> and Pelatiah<S>6410</S> son<S>1121</S> of Benaiah,<S>1141</S> leaders<S>8269</S> of the people.<S>5971</S>

And He said<S>559</S> to me, "Son<S>1121</S> of man,<S>120</S> these<S>428</S> are the men<S>376</S> who devise<S>2803</S> iniquity<S>205</S> and give<S>3289</S> evil<S>9563</S> advice<S>6098</S> in this<S>384</S> city,<S>5892</S>

<pb/>Then the Spirit<S>7307</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> fell<S>5307</S> upon me, and He said<S>559</S> to me, "Say,<S>559</S> 'Thus<S>3541</S> says<S>559</S> the Lord,<S>3068</S> "So<S>3651</S> you think,<S>559</S> house<S>1004</S> of Israel,<S>3478</S> for I know<S>3045</S> your thoughts.<S>9280</S> <S>7307</S>
