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 Yahweh
came to 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 you
the
name
of
the
day
, [even]
of
this same
day :
the king of Babylon drew
close
to Jerusalem this
same
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 .
Utter
a parable to the
rebellious house ,
and tell them ,
Thus
says the Lord
Yahweh,
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 of it
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;
yes,
let
the bones of
it
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
.
Therefore thus
says
the Lord Yahweh
: 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
on
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 on the bare rock; she didn't
pour it on 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 on 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
says
the Lord Yahweh
: 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 on the
coals of
it ,
that
it
may
be
hot ,
and the
brass
of
it
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
has wearied
[herself]
with
toil
; yet
her
great
rust doesn't
go
forth
out
of
her;
her
rust
doesn't
[go
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
your filthiness
is
lewdness:
because
I have
cleansed
you and
you
weren't
cleansed
, you shall
not be cleansed
from your filthiness any
more,
until I
have
caused
my wrath toward
you 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, Yahweh
, have spoken it:
it
shall
happen
, and I will do
it:
I will not go
back
, neither
will I spare,
neither
will I
repent;
according to your ways ,
and according
to
your
doings
, shall
they
judge
you,
says
the Lord Yahweh
.
Then
the word of the
LORD
came to me, saying,
Also
the word of Yahweh
came to 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
you
the desire of your eyes with a stroke:
yet
you shall
neither
mourn nor
weep ,
neither
shall
your 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
your headdress
on
you,
and put
your shoes
on your feet ,
and
don't
cover your lips ,
and
don't
eat men's
bread.
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 spoke to 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? ”
The people said
to
me, Won't
you tell us what these things are to us ,
that
you
do
so
?
So
I answered
them, “
The word of the
LORD
came to me, saying :
Then
I said
to
them, The word of Yahweh
came to 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
to
the house of Israel ,
Thus
says
the Lord Yahweh
: Behold,
I will
profane
my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that
which
your soul pities;
and your
sons and your
daughters whom
you 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
.
You shall
do as I have done: you 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
.
Your tires
shall
be
on your heads ,
and your shoes
on your feet :
you shall
not mourn nor
weep ;
but you 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 to
you
a sign; according
to
all
that he has done shall
you
do:
when this comes
, then
shall
you know that I am the Lord Yahweh
.
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
,
You, 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
who
escapes
shall
come to
you ,
to
cause
you
to
hear
it
with
your
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
your mouth be opened to him who is
escaped ,
and
you shall
speak ,
and be no
more
mute :
so shall
you be a sign to them ;
and they shall
know that I am Yahweh
.
