Tree Of Life Version

Ezekiel 11:9-15 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

9. “I will bring you out of the midst of it, give you into the hands of strangers and execute judgments against you.

10. You will fall by the sword. I will judge you at the border of Israel. So you will know that I am Adonai.

11. This city will not be your cooking pot nor will you be the meat in the midst of it—I will judge you at Israel’s border.

12. So you will know that I am Adonai, whose laws you did not follow and whose ordinances you did not obey. Instead, you have acted in accord with the ordinances of the nations around you.”

13. As I prophesied, Pelatiah son of Benaiah dropped dead. I fell upon my face and cried out with a loud voice and said, “Ah, Adonai! Are you going to completely eradicate the remnant of Israel?”

14. The word of Adonai came to me saying:

15. “Son of man, as for your kinsmen, your kinsmen, fellow exiles and the whole house of Israel—all of them—are those about whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem said, ‘Keep far away from Adonai! This land has been given to us for a possession!’”
