Now in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

See, a pine-tree with beautiful branches and thick growth, giving shade and very tall and its top was among the clouds.

In this way it became taller than all the trees of the field and its branches were increased and its arms became long because of the great waters.

So it was beautiful, being so tall and its branches so long, for its root was by great waters.

I made it beautiful with its mass of branches: so that all the trees in the garden of God were full of envy of it.

I have given him up into the hands of a strong one of the nations he will certainly give him the reward of his sin, driving him out.

All the birds of heaven have come to rest on his broken stem where it is stretched on the earth, and all the beasts of the field will be on his branches:

This is what the Lord has said: The day when he goes down to the underworld, I will make the deep full of grief for him I will keep back her streams and the great waters will be stopped: I will make Lebanon dark for him, and all the trees of the field will be feeble because of him.

And they will go down with him to the underworld, to those who have been put to the sword even those who were his helpers, living under his shade among the nations

And it came about in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

This is what the Lord has said: My net will be stretched out over you, and I will take you up in my fishing-net.

And I will put your flesh on the mountains, and make the valleys full of your blood.

And when I put out your life, the heaven will be covered and its stars made dark I will let the sun be covered with a cloud and the moon will not give her light.

And the hearts of numbers of peoples will be troubled, when I send your prisoners among the nations, into a country which is strange to you.

For this is what the Lord has said: The sword of the king of Babylon will come on you.

And I will put an end to all her beasts which are by the great waters, and they will never again be troubled by the foot of man or by the feet of beasts.

When I make Egypt an unpeopled waste, cutting off from the land all the things in it when I send punishment on all those living in it, then it will be clear to them that I am the Lord.

And in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Are you more beautiful than any? go down, and take your rest among those without circumcision,

The strong among the great ones will say to him from the underworld, Are you more beautiful than any? go down, you and your helpers, and take your rest among those without circumcision, and those who have been put to the sword.

Whose resting-places are in the inmost parts of the underworld, who were a cause of fear in the land of the living.

They have made a bed for her among the dead, and all her people are round about her resting-place: all of them without circumcision, put to death with the sword for they were a cause of fear in the land of the living, and are put to shame with those who go down to the underworld: they have been given a place among those who have been put to the sword.

And they have been put to rest with the fighting men who came to their end in days long past, who went down to the underworld with their instruments of war, placing their swords under their heads, and their body-covers are over their bones for their strength was a cause of fear in the land of the living.

There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, who have been given a resting-place with those who were put to the sword: they will be resting among those without circumcision, even with those who go down to the underworld.

Pharaoh will see them and be comforted on account of all his people: even Pharaoh and all his army, put to death by the sword, says the Lord.

To the angel of the church in Ephesus say: These things says he who has the seven stars in his right hand, who is walking in the middle of the seven gold lights:

And you have the power of waiting, and have undergone trouble because of my name, without weariness.

So keep in mind where you were at first, and be changed in heart and do the first works or I will come to you, and will take away your light from its place, if your hearts are not changed.

He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the fruit of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.

I have knowledge of your troubles and how poor you are (but you have true wealth), and the evil words of those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are a Synagogue of Satan.

He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not come under the power of the second death.

I have knowledge that your living-place is where Satan has his seat: and you are true to my name, and were not turned away from your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas, my true witness, who was put to death among you, where Satan has his place.

And you have those who keep the teaching of the Nicolaitans.

He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the secret manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name, of which no one has knowledge but he to whom it is given.
