Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto you, What do you?

Say, I am your sign: like I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall move and go into captivity.

Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Does he not speak parables?

And the people said unto me, Will you not tell us what these things are to us, that you so do?

Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumor shall be upon rumor; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.

And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is allied with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest are moved with the wind.

Then the chiefs of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.

And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren's heart faint as well as his heart.

And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD has given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.

And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.

And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.

And he also that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and they who are with him are valiant men.

She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melts, and the knees strike together, and much pain is on all sides, and the faces of them all grow pale.

Behold, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened the weak hands.

Strengthen you the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees.

The king of Babylon has heard the report of them, and his hands grew feeble: anguish took hold of him, and birth pangs as of a woman in travail.

Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking toward those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Therefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;

And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursues.

Therefore shall all hands be feeble, and every man's heart shall melt:

When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.

For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.

All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.

Also, you son of man, thus says the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end has come upon the four corners of the land.

And my eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense your ways upon you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am the LORD.

An end has come, the end has come: it watches for you; behold, it has come.

Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon you, and accomplish my anger upon you: and I will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense you for all your abominations.

Behold the day, behold, it has come: the morning has gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.

Son of man, what is that proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?

For there shall be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.

Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Therefore say unto them, Thus says the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be delayed any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, says the Lord GOD.

But the end of all things is at hand: be therefore sober minded, and watch unto prayer.
