The Gates Of Jerusalem

And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of The captivity there in The province are in great affliction and reproach: The wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and The Gates thereof are burned with fire.

And I went out by night by The gate of The valley, even before The dragon well, and to The dung port, and viewed The walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and The Gates thereof were consumed with fire.

Then said I unto them, Ye see The distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and The Gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up The wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.

And I said unto them, Let not The Gates of Jerusalem be opened until The sun be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut The doors, and bar them: and appoint watches of The inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house.

And it came to pass, that when The Gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before The sabbath, I commanded that The Gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after The sabbath: and some of my servants set I at The Gates, that there should no burden be brought in on The sabbath day.

For, lo, I will call all The families of The kingdoms of The north, saith The LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at The entering of The Gates of Jerusalem, and against all The walls thereof round about, and against all The cities of Judah.

Judah mourneth, and The Gates thereof languish; they are black unto The ground; and The cry of Jerusalem is gone up.

Thus said The LORD unto me; Go and stand in The gate of The children of The people, whereby The kings of Judah come in, and by The which they go out, and in all The Gates of Jerusalem;

And say unto them, Hear ye The word of The LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all The inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these Gates:

Thus saith The LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on The sabbath day, nor bring it in by The Gates of Jerusalem;

Then shall there enter into The Gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon The throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, The men of Judah, and The inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.

But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow The sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at The Gates of Jerusalem on The sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in The Gates thereof, and it shall devour The palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

He shall be buried with The burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond The Gates of Jerusalem.

The kings of The earth, and all The inhabitants of The world, would not have believed that The adversary and The enemy should have entered into The Gates of Jerusalem.

• Scoffing

Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was The Gates of The people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste:

In The day that thou stoodest on The other side, in The day that The strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his Gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.
