And you, son of man, take a sharp sword, using it like a haircutter's blade, and making it go over your head and the hair of your chin: and take scales for separating the hair by weight.

And take from them a small number of hairs, folding them in your skirts.

This is what the Lord has said: This is Jerusalem: I have put her among the nations, and countries are round her on every side

For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have been more uncontrolled than the nations round about you, and have not been guided by my rules or kept my orders, but have kept the orders of the nations round about you

And I will do in you what I have not done and will not do again, because of all your disgusting ways.

For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, because you have made my holy place unclean with all your hated things and all your disgusting ways, you will become disgusting to me my eye will have no mercy and I will have no pity.

So my wrath will be complete and my passion will come to rest on them and they will be certain that I the Lord have given the word of decision, when my wrath against them is complete.

And you will be a name of shame and a cause of bitter words, an example and a wonder to the nations round about you, when I give effect to my judging among you in wrath and in passion and in burning protests: I the Lord have said it:

And I will send on you need of food and evil beasts, and they will be a cause of loss to you and disease and violent death will go through you and I will send the sword on you: I the Lord have said it.

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

You mountains of Israel, give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said to the mountains and the hills, to the waterways and the valleys: See, I, even I, am sending on you a sword for the destruction of your high places.

And I will put the dead bodies of the children of Israel in front of their images, sending your bones in all directions about your altars.

And the dead will be falling down among you, and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

And those of you who are kept safe will have me in mind among the nations where they have been taken away as prisoners, how I sent punishment on their hearts which were untrue to me, and on their eyes which were turned to their false gods: and they will be full of hate for themselves because of the evil things which they have done in all their disgusting ways.

This is what the Lord has said: Give blows with your hand, stamping with your foot, and say, O sorrow! because of all the evil and disgusting ways of the children of Israel: for death will overtake them by the sword and through need of food and by disease.

And you will be certain that I am the Lord, when their dead men are stretched among their images round about their altars on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every branching tree, and under every thick oak-tree, the places where they made sweet smells to all their images.

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Now the end has come on you, and I will send my wrath on you, judging you for your ways, I will send punishment on you for all your disgusting acts.

This is what the Lord has said: An evil, even one evil see, it is coming.

The crowning time has come on you, O people of the land: the time has come, the day is near the day will not be slow in coming, it will not keep back.

My eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity: I will send on you the punishment of your ways, and your disgusting works will be among you and you will see that I am the Lord who gives punishment.

Violent behaviour has been lifted up into a rod of evil it will not be slow in coming, it will not keep back.

For the trader will not go back to the things for which he had his price, even while he is still living:

Outside is the sword, and inside disease and need of food: he who is in the open country will be put to the sword he who is in the town will come to his end through need of food and disease.

All hands will be feeble and all knees without strength, like water.

They will put out their silver into the streets, and their gold will be as an unclean thing their silver and their gold will not be able to keep them safe in the day of the wrath of the Lord they will not get their desire or have food for their need: because it has been the cause of their falling into sin.

And I will give it into the hands of men from strange lands who will take it by force, and to the evil-doers of the earth to have for themselves and they will make it unholy.

Make the chain: for the land is full of crimes of blood, and the town is full of violent acts.

Shaking fear is coming and they will be looking for peace, and there will be no peace.

The king will give himself up to sorrow, and the ruler will be clothed with wonder, and the hands of the people of the land will be troubled: I will give them punishment for their ways, judging them as it is right for them to be judged and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

Now on the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the place and saw that the stone had been taken away from it.

So Peter and the other disciple went out to the place of the dead.

And looking in, he saw the linen bands on the earth but he did not go in,

And the cloth, which had been round his head, not with the linen bands but rolled up in a place by itself.

For at that time they had no knowledge that the Writings said that he would have to come again from the dead.

But Mary was still there outside the hole in the rock, weeping and while she was weeping and looking into the hole,

They said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? She said to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I have no knowledge where they have put him.

Jesus said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? who are you looking for? She, taking him for the gardener, said to him, Sir, if you have taken him away from here, say where you have put him and I will take him away.

Jesus said to her, Do not put your hand on me, for I have not gone up to the Father: but go to my brothers and say to them, I go up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.
