And the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the winged ones on which it was resting, to the doorstep of the house. And crying out to the man clothed in linen who had the writer's inkpot at his side,

וּכְב֣וֹד׀ (וּ) u. “and”

The Lord said to him, Go through the town, through the middle of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the brows of the men who are sorrowing and crying for all the disgusting things which are done in it.

וְהַנֶּ֣אֱנָקִ֔ים (וְ) ve. “and”

And to these he said in my hearing, Go through the town after him using your axes: do not let your eyes have mercy, and have no pity:

וּלְאֵ֙לֶּה֙ (וּ) u. “and”וְהַכּ֑וּ (וְ) ve. “and”וְאַל־ (וְ) ve. “and”

Give up to destruction old men and young men and virgins, little children and women: but do not come near any man who has the mark on him: and make a start at my holy place. So they made a start with the old men who were before the house.

וּבְתוּלָה֩ (וּ) u. “and”וְטַ֨ף (וְ) ve. “and”וְנָשִׁ֜ים (וְ) ve. “and”וְעַל־ (וְ) ve. “and”וּמִמִּקְדָּשִׁ֖י (וּ) u. “and”

And he said to them, Make the house unclean, make the open places full of dead: go forward and send destruction on the town.

וּמַלְא֧וּ (וּ) u. “and”

Now while they were doing so, and I was untouched, I went down on my face, and crying out, I said, Ah, Lord! will you give all the rest of Israel to destruction in letting loose your wrath on Jerusalem?

וְנֵֽאשֲׁאַ֖ר (וְ) ve. “and”

Then he said to me, The sin of the children of Israel and Judah is very, very great, and the land is full of blood and the town full of evil ways: for they say, The Lord has gone away from the land, and the Lord does not see.

וִֽיהוּדָה֙ (וִֽ) vi. “and”וְהָעִ֖יר (וְ) ve. “and”וְאֵ֥ין (וְ) ve. “and”

And as for me, my eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity, but I will send the punishment of their ways on their heads.

וְגַ֨ם־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְלֹ֣א (וְ) ve. “and”

Then the man clothed in linen, who had the inkpot at his side, came back and said, I have done what you gave me orders to do.

וְהִנֵּ֞ה (וְ) ve. “and”

Then looking, I saw that on the arch which was over the head of the winged ones there was seen over them what seemed like a sapphire stone, having the form of a king's seat.

וְהִנֵּ֤ה (וְ) ve. “and”

And he said to the man clothed in linen, Go in between the wheels, under the winged ones, and get your two hands full of burning coals from between the winged ones and send them in a shower over the town. And he went in before my eyes.

וּמַלֵּ֨א (וּ) u. “and”וּזְרֹ֖ק (וּ) u. “and”

Now the winged ones were stationed on the right side of the house when the man went in; and the inner square was full of the cloud.

וְהַכְּרֻבִ֗ים (וְ) ve. “and”וְהֶעָנָ֣ן (וְ) ve. “and”

And the glory of the Lord went up from the winged ones and came to rest over the doorstep of the house; and the house was full of the cloud and the open square was full of the shining of the Lord's glory.

וְהֶֽחָצֵר֙ (וְ) ve. “and”

And the sound of the wings of the winged ones was clear even in the outer square, like the voice of the Ruler of all.

וְקוֹל֙ (וְ) ve. “and”

And looking, I saw four wheels by the side of the winged ones, one wheel by the side of a winged one and another wheel by the side of another: and the wheels were like the colour of a beryl stone to the eye.

וְהִנֵּ֨ה (וְ) ve. “and”וְאוֹפַ֣ן (וְ) ve. “and”וּמַרְאֵה֙ (וּ) u. “and”

In form the four of them were all the same, they seemed like a wheel inside a wheel.

וּמַ֨רְאֵיהֶ֔ם (וּ) u. “and”

And the edges of the four wheels were full of eyes round about.

וְכָל־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְגַבֵּהֶ֔ם (וְ) ve. “and”וִֽידֵיהֶ֖ם (וִֽ) vi. “and”וְכַנְפֵיהֶ֑ם (וְ) ve. “and”וְהָאֽוֹפַנִּ֗ים (וְ) ve. “and”

And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a winged one, and the second was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

וְאַרְבָּעָ֥ה (וְ) ve. “and”וּפְנֵ֤י (וּ) u. “and”וְהַשְּׁלִישִׁי֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וְהָרְבִיעִ֖י (וְ) ve. “and”

And when the winged ones went, the wheels went by their side: and when their wings were lifted to take them up from the earth, the wheels were not turned from their side.

וּבְלֶ֙כֶת֙ (וּ) u. “and”וּבִשְׂאֵ֨ת (וּ) u. “and”

When they were at rest in their place, these were at rest; when they were lifted up, these went up with them: for the spirit of life was in them.

וּבְרוֹמָ֖ם (וּ) u. “and”

And the winged ones, lifting up their wings, went up from the earth before my eyes, with the wheels by their side: and they came to rest at the east doorway of the Lord's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them on high.

וְהָאֽוֹפַנִּ֖ים (וְ) ve. “and”וּכְב֧וֹד (וּ) u. “and”

Every one had four faces and every one had four wings; and hands like a man's hands were under their wings.

וְאַרְבַּ֥ע (וְ) ve. “and”וּדְמוּת֙ (וּ) u. “and”

As for the form of their faces, they were the faces whose form I saw by the river Chebar; when they went, every one of them went straight forward.

וּדְמ֣וּת (וּ) u. “and”וְאוֹתָ֑ם (וְ) ve. “and”

And the wind, lifting me up, took me to the east doorway of the Lord's house, looking to the east: and at the door I saw twenty-five men; and among them I saw Jaazaniah, the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, rulers of the people.

וְהִנֵּה֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וַחֲמִשָּׁ֖ה (וַ) va. “and”וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”

Then he said to me, Son of man, these are the men who are designing evil, who are teaching evil ways in this town:

וְהַיֹּעֲצִ֥ים (וְ) ve. “and”
