      1 And some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat down before me. (Several elders came to Ezekiel).

      2 And the word of the LORD came to me: (Hypnotist’s voice).

      3 son of man! These people have allowed their idols into their hearts and have set the temptation of their wickedness before their face: can I answer them? (Secret Jewish priests «broadcast» through their prophet against the elders of Israel).

      4 Therefore speak to them, and say to them, Thus saith the LORD God: If any man of the house of Israel puts his idols in his heart, and sets the temptation of his wickedness before his face, and comes to the prophet, can I, the LORD, with his many idols, give him an answer? (It is advantageous for the Jewish priesthood to remove the elders from power and lead the Israelites themselves).

      5 Let the house of Israel understand in its heart that they have all become strangers to me through their idols. (Other people’s idols are the main obstacle for the Jewish priesthood to control the Israelites).

      6 Therefore tell the house of Israel: Thus saith the LORD God: Turn and turn away from your idols, and turn away your face from all your abominations. (Other people’s idols are the main obstacle for the Jewish priesthood to control the Israelites).

      7 For if any one of the house of Israel and of the strangers who dwell with Israel turns away from me, and lets his idols into his heart, and sets the temptation of his wickedness before his face, and comes to the prophet to inquire of me through him, then I, the LORD, will I give him an answer from myself? (Other people’s idols are the main obstacle for the Jewish priesthood to control the Israelites).

      8 I will turn my face against that man, and I will break him into a sign and a parable, and I will destroy him from among my people, and you will know that I am the LORD. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      9 But if the prophet allows himself to be deceived and speaks the word as I, the LORD, would teach this prophet, then I will stretch out my hand against him and destroy him from my people Israel. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      10 And they will bear the guilt of their iniquity: what is the fault of the questioner, so will be the fault of the prophet, (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      11 That the house of Israel may no longer turn away from me, and that they may no longer defile themselves with all their iniquities, but that they may be my people, and I will be their God, says the LORD God. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      12 And the word of the LORD came to me: (Hypnotist’s voice).

      13 Son of man! if any land had sinned against Me, treacherously retreating from Me, and I stretched out My hand on it, and destroyed the grain support in it, and sent famine on it, and began to destroy people and cattle on it; (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      14 And if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, had been found in her, they would have saved only their own souls by their righteousness, says the Lord God. (In the book of Ezekiel, Job is mentioned along with Noah and Daniel. Daniel (the judge of God, that is, who reveals His will on behalf of God) is the fourth of the great prophets; according to some, he was a descendant of David, or at least descended from a royal family. He was at the court of the Babylonian kings Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar).

      15 Or if I had sent fierce beasts to this land, who would have orphaned it, and it became empty and impassable because of the beasts: (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      16 Then these three men in her midst, as I live, saith the LORD God, would not have saved either sons or daughters, but they, only they, would have been saved, and the land would have become a desert. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      17 Or if I had brought a sword to that land and said, «Sword, pass through the land!» and began to destroy people and cattle on it, (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      18 These three men in her midst, as I live, saith the LORD God, would not have saved either sons or daughters, but they would only have been saved. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      19 Or if I had sent a pestilence to that land and poured out my fury on it in bloodshed to destroy people and cattle on it: (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      20 Then Noah, Daniel, and Job in her midst, as I live, saith the LORD God, would have saved neither sons nor daughters; by their righteousness they would have saved only their own souls. (In the book of Ezekiel, Job is mentioned along with Noah and Daniel).

      21 For thus saith the LORD God: If I also send my four grievous plagues: the sword, and famine, and fierce beasts, and pestilence to Jerusalem to destroy people and cattle in it, (the Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      22 And then there will remain in it a remnant, sons and daughters, who will be brought out from there; behold, they will come out to you, and you will see their conduct and their deeds, and you will be comforted for the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, for all that I have brought upon it. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      23 They will comfort you when you see their conduct and their deeds; and you will know that I have not done in vain all that I have done in him, says the Lord God. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      Chapter 15

      1 And the word of the LORD came to me: (Hypnotist’s voice).

      2 son of man! what advantage does the vine tree have over any other tree and the branches of the vine – between the trees in the forest? (Comparison with plants and trees).

      3 Do they take a piece from him for any product? Do they take at least a nail from him to hang any thing on it? (Comparison with plants and trees).

      4 Behold, it is given to the fire to be eaten; the fire has eaten both ends of it, and the middle of it is burnt: is it fit for any article? (Comparison with plants and trees).

      5 And then, as it was whole, it was not suitable for any product; moreover, when the fire ate it, and it was burned, is it suitable for any product? (Comparison with plants and trees).

      6 Therefore thus saith the LORD God: As the tree of the vine among the trees of the forest I have given to the fire to be eaten, so will I give to it the inhabitants of Jerusalem. (Comparison with plants and trees).

      7 And I will turn my face against them; they will come out of one fire, and another fire will devour them, and you will know that I am the LORD when I turn my face against them. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      8 And I will make this land desolate because they have treacherously acted, says the LORD God. (The Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).

      Chapter 16

      1 And the word of the LORD came to me: (Hypnotist’s voice).

      2 son of man! express its abominations to Jerusalem (the Jewish priests threaten the wicked through their prophet).
