In the ninth year, on
the tenth day of the tenth
month, the word of the
LORD
came to
me, saying,
Again,
in the ninth year, in
the tenth month,
in
the
tenth
`
day '
of the month, the word of Jehovah
came unto
me, saying,
“
Son of man, write down
today’s
date
, for
on
this very
day the king of Babylon has
laid
siege
to
Jerusalem.
Son of man, write thee
the
name
of
the
day
, `even'
of
this selfsame
day :
the king of Babylon drew
close
unto
Jerusalem this
selfsame
day
.
Now
speak
a parable to
this
rebellious house and tell
them that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says:
‘Put
the
pot
on the fire;
put
it on and pour in
the
water .
And
utter
a parable unto
the
rebellious house ,
and say
unto
them ,
Thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah,
Set
on the caldron,
set
it on ,
and also
pour water into
it:
Put
in
the pieces of
meat
, every good piece —
thigh and shoulder —
fill it with choice bones.
gather
the pieces thereof
into
it
, even
every good piece ,
the
thigh ,
and the
shoulder ;
fill it with the
choice bones.
Take the choicest
of the flock and pile the fuel
beneath
it.
Bring
it to
a
boil and
cook
the bones in it. ’
Take the choice
of the flock ,
and also
a
pile `of
wood'
for
the bones
under
`the
caldron';
make
it boil well;
yea,
let
the bones thereof
be
boiled
in the
midst
of
it.
Therefore
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘
Woe to the city of
bloodshed
, to the pot
now
rusted
, whose rust will
not come
off
! Empty
it piece by
piece; cast
no lots
for
its
contents
.
Wherefore
thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah
: Woe to the bloody
city, to the caldron
whose
rust
is
therein
, and
whose rust is
not gone
out
of
it
! take
out
of
it piece after
piece; No lot
is
fallen
upon
it
.
For the
blood she
shed
is still
within
her; she poured
it out
on
the bare rock; she did
not
pour
it on
the ground to cover it with dust.
For her
blood is in
the
midst
of
her; she set
it upon
the bare rock; she poured
it not
upon
the ground ,
to cover it with dust.
In
order
to stir
up wrath
and
take vengeance, I have placed
her blood on
the bare rock, so
that it would
not be covered. ’
That
it
may
cause
wrath
to come
up to
take vengeance, I have set
her blood upon
the bare rock, that it should
not be covered.
Yes,
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘
Woe to the city of
bloodshed
! I ,
too,
will pile
the kindling
high
.
Therefore
thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah
: Woe to the bloody
city! I also
will make
the pile
great
.
Pile
on the logs
and
kindle
the fire ;
cook
the
meat
well and mix
in
the spices;
let the bones be burned.
Heap
on the wood,
make
the fire hot,
boil
well the
flesh,
and make
thick
the broth,
and
let the bones be burned.
Set the
empty pot
on
its
coals until
it becomes
hot and its
copper
glows.
Then
its
impurity
will
melt
within;
its
rust will
be consumed.
Then
set it
empty upon
the
coals thereof,
that
it may
be
hot ,
and the
brass
thereof
may
burn,
and
that
the
filthiness
of
it
may
be
molten
in
it,
that
the
rust of
it
may
be consumed.
It
has
frustrated
every
effort
; its
thick
rust has
not been
removed,
even
by the
fire.
She
hath
wearied
`herself'
with
toil
; yet
her
great
rust goeth
not forth
out
of
her;
her
rust
`goeth
not
forth'
by fire.
Because of
the
indecency
of
your
uncleanness
I tried
to
cleanse
you
, but
you
would
not be purified
from your
filthiness .
You
will
not
be
pure
again
until
My wrath against
you
has
subsided
.
In
thy
filthiness
is
lewdness:
because I have
cleansed
thee
and
thou
wast
not
cleansed
, thou
shalt
not be cleansed
from thy
filthiness any
more,
till
I
have
caused
my wrath toward
thee
to
rest
.
I, the
LORD
, have spoken ;
the
time
is
coming
, and I will act.
I will not refrain
or
show
pity
, nor
will I relent.
I
will judge
you
according to your
ways and deeds
, ’
declares
the Lord GOD
. ”
I, Jehovah
, have spoken it:
it
shall
come
to
pass
, and I will do
it:
I will not go
back
, neither
will I spare,
neither
will I
repent;
according to thy
ways ,
and according
to
thy
doings
, shall
they
judge
thee,
saith
the Lord Jehovah
.
Then
the word of the
LORD
came to
me, saying,
Also
the word of Jehovah
came unto
me, saying,
“
Son of man, behold, I am
about
to
take away the desire of your
eyes with a fatal
blow.
But
you
must
not
mourn or
weep or
let
your
tears flow
.
Son of man, behold, I take away from
thee
the desire of thine
eyes with a stroke:
yet
thou
shalt
neither
mourn nor
weep ,
neither
shall
thy
tears run
down
.
Groan
quietly;
do
not mourn
for the dead .
Put
on
your
turban
and strap
your
sandals
on
your
feet ;
do
not
cover your
lips or
eat the bread of mourners
. ”
Sigh,
but
not aloud,
make
no
mourning
for the dead ;
bind
thy
headtire
upon
thee,
and put
thy
shoes
upon
thy
feet ,
and
cover not
thy
lips ,
and
eat not
the bread of men
.
So I spoke
to
the people in the morning ,
and in
the
evening
my wife died .
And the
next
morning
I did as I had
been
commanded.
So I spake
unto
the people in the morning ;
and at
even
my wife died ;
and I did in
the
morning
as I was
commanded.
Then
the people asked
me, “Won’t
you
tell us what these things you
are doing
mean
to us? ”
And
the people said
unto
me, Wilt
thou
not
tell us what these things are to us ,
that
thou
doest
so
?
So
I answered
them, “
The word of the
LORD
came to
me, saying :
Then
I said
unto
them, The word of Jehovah
came unto
me, saying ,
Tell
the house of Israel that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘
I am
about
to
desecrate
My sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and the
delight
of
your soul .
And the
sons and daughters you
left behind will
fall by the sword. ’
Speak
unto
the house of Israel ,
Thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah
: Behold,
I will
profane
my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that
which
your soul pitieth;
and your
sons and your
daughters whom
ye
have
left behind shall
fall by the sword.
Then
you
will
do as I have done: You
will
not cover your lips or
eat the bread of mourners
.
And
ye
shall
do as I have done: ye
shall
not cover your lips ,
nor
eat the bread of men
.
Your turbans
will
remain
on
your heads and your sandals
on
your feet .
You
will
not mourn or
weep ,
but you
will
waste
away because
of
your sins
, and you
will
groan
among
yourselves
.
And
your tires
shall
be
upon
your heads ,
and your shoes
upon
your feet :
ye
shall
not mourn nor
weep ;
but ye
shall
pine
away in
your iniquities
, and moan
one
toward
another
.
‘
Thus Ezekiel will
be a sign for
you
; you
will
do
everything
that he has
done .
When this happens
, you
will
know that I am the Lord GOD
. ’
Thus shall
Ezekiel be unto
you
a sign; according
to
all
that he hath
done shall
ye
do:
when this cometh
, then
shall
ye
know that I am the Lord Jehovah
.
And you
, son of man, know
that
on
the day I take away
their stronghold
, their
pride
and
joy —
the desire of their eyes which
uplifted
their
souls—
and their sons and daughters as
well
,
And thou
, son of man, shall
it
not
be
in
the day when
I take from
them
their strength
, the
joy of
their
glory,
the desire of their eyes ,
and that
whereupon
they
set
their heart,
their
sons and their
daughters,
on
that day a
fugitive
will
come and
tell
you
the
news.
that in
that
day he
that
escapeth
shall
come unto
thee,
to
cause
thee
to
hear
it
with
thine
ears?
On
that day your
mouth will
be opened to him who
has
escaped ;
you
will
speak and no
longer
be mute.
So you
will
be a sign to
them ,
and they will
know that I am the
LORD
. ”
In
that day shall
thy
mouth be opened to him that
is
escaped ,
and
thou
shalt
speak ,
and be no
more
dumb:
so shalt
thou
be a sign unto
them ;
and they shall
know that I am Jehovah
.
