Ezekiel 8:1Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 versionAnd it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house and the ancients of Juda sat before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me. See the chapter |
Therefore speak to them, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Man, man of the house of Israel, that shall place his uncleannesses in his heart and set up the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face and shall come to the prophet inquiring of me by him, I the Lord will answer him according to the multitude of his uncleannesses:
But Eliseus sat in his house, and the ancients sat with him. So he sent a man before. And before that messenger came, he said to the ancients: Do you know that this son of a murderer hath sent to cut off my head? Look then, when the messenger shall come, shut the door, and suffer him not to come in: for, behold, the sound of his master's feet is behind him.
