1 And the word of the Lord came to me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, saying, In the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me: In the ninth year, in the tenth month on the tenth day, the word of the LORD came to me:
2 Son of man, write for thyself daily from this day, on which the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem, even from this day. “Son of man, write down the name of this day, this very day. The king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem this very day. “Son of man, record this date, this very date, because the king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem this very day.
3 And speak a parable to the provoking house, and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord; Set on the caldron, and pour water into it: And utter a parable to the rebellious house and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: “Set on the pot, set it on; pour in water also; Tell this rebellious people a parable and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: “’Put on the cooking pot; put it on and pour water into it.
4 and put the pieces into it, every prime piece, the leg and shoulder taken off from the bones, put in it the pieces of meat, all the good pieces, the thigh and the shoulder; fill it with choice bones. Put into it the pieces of meat, all the choice pieces—the leg and the shoulder. Fill it with the best of these bones;
5 which are taken from choice cattle, and burn the bones under them: her bones are boiled and cooked in the midst of her. Take the choicest one of the flock; pile the logs under it; boil it well; seethe also its bones in it. take the pick of the flock. Pile wood beneath it for the bones; bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.
6 Therefore thus saith the Lord; O bloody city, the caldron in which there is scum, and the scum has not gone out of, she has brought it forth piece by piece, no lot has fallen upon it. “Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose corrosion is in it, and whose corrosion has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece, without making any choice. “’For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: “’Woe to the city of bloodshed, to the pot now encrusted, whose deposit will not go away! Take the meat out piece by piece in whatever order it comes.
7 For her blood is in the midst of her; I have set it upon a smooth rock: I have not poured it out upon the earth, so that the earth should cover it; For the blood she has shed is in her midst; she put it on the bare rock; she did not pour it out on the ground to cover it with dust. “’For the blood she shed is in her midst: She poured it on the bare rock; she did not pour it on the ground, where the dust would cover it.
8 that my wrath should come up for complete vengeance to be taken: I set her blood upon a smooth rock, so as not to cover it. To rouse my wrath, to take vengeance, I have set on the bare rock the blood she has shed, that it may not be covered. To stir up wrath and take revenge I put her blood on the bare rock, so that it would not be covered.
9 Therefore thus saith the Lord, I will also make the firebrand great, Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great. “’Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: “’Woe to the city of bloodshed! I, too, will pile the wood high.
10 and I will multiply the wood, and kindle the fire, that the flesh may be consumed, and the liquor boiled away; Heap on the logs, kindle the fire, boil the meat well, mix in the spices, and let the bones be burned up. So heap on the wood and kindle the fire. Cook the meat well, mixing in the spices; and let the bones be charred.
11 and that it may stand upon the coals, that her brass may be thoroughly heated, and be melted in the midst of her filthiness, and her scum may be consumed, Then set it empty upon the coals, that it may become hot, and its copper may burn, that its uncleanness may be melted in it, its corrosion consumed. Then set the empty pot on the coals till it becomes hot and its copper glows, so that its impurities may be melted and its deposit burned away.
12 and her abundant scum may not come forth of her. She has wearied herself with toil; its abundant corrosion does not go out of it. Into the fire with its corrosion! It has frustrated all efforts; its heavy deposit has not been removed, not even by fire.
13 Her scum shall become shameful, because thou didst defile thyself: and what if thou shalt be purged no more until I have accomplished my wrath? On account of your unclean lewdness, because I would have cleansed you and you were not cleansed from your uncleanness, you shall not be cleansed anymore till I have satisfied my fury upon you. “’Now your impurity is lewdness. Because I tried to cleanse you but you would not be cleansed from your impurity, you will not be clean again until my wrath against you has subsided.
14 I the Lord have spoken; and it shall come, and I will do it ; I will not delay, neither will I have any mercy: I will judge thee, saith the Lord, according to thy ways, and according to thy devices: therefore will I judge thee according to thy bloodshed, and according to thy devices will I judge thee, thou unclean, notorious, and abundantly provoking one. I am the LORD. I have spoken; it shall come to pass; I will do it. I will not go back; I will not spare; I will not relent; according to your ways and your deeds you will be judged, declares the Lord GOD.” “’I the LORD have spoken. The time has come for me to act. I will not hold back; I will not have pity, nor will I relent. You will be judged according to your conduct and your actions, declares the Sovereign LORD.’”
15 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, The word of the LORD came to me: The word of the LORD came to me:
16 Son of man, behold I take from thee the desire of thine eyes by violence: thou shalt not lament, neither shalt thou weep. “Son of man, behold, I am about to take the delight of your eyes away from you at a stroke; yet you shall not mourn or weep, nor shall your tears run down. “Son of man, with one blow I am about to take away from you the delight of your eyes. Yet do not lament or weep or shed any tears.
17 Thou shalt groan for blood, and have mourning upon thy loins; thy hair shall not be braided upon thee, and thy sandals shall be on thy feet; thou shalt in no wise be comforted by their lips, and thou shalt not eat the bread of men. Sigh, but not aloud; make no mourning for the dead. Bind on your turban, and put your shoes on your feet; do not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.” Groan quietly; do not mourn for the dead. Keep your turban fastened and your sandals on your feet; do not cover your mustache and beard or eat the customary food of mourners.”
18 And I spoke to the people in the morning, as he commanded me in the evening, and I did in the morning as it was commanded me. So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. And on the next morning I did as I was commanded. So I spoke to the people in the morning, and in the evening my wife died. The next morning I did as I had been commanded.
19 And the people said to me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are that thou doest? And the people said to me, “Will you not tell us what these things mean for us, that you are acting thus?” Then the people asked me, “Won’t you tell us what these things have to do with us? Why are you acting like this?”
20 Then I said to them, The word of the Lord came to me, saying, Then I said to them, “The word of the LORD came to me: So I said to them, “The word of the LORD came to me:
21 Say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the boast of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and for which your souls are concerned; and your sons and your daughters, whom ye have left, shall fall by the sword. ‘Say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the delight of your eyes, and the yearning of your soul, and your sons and your daughters whom you left behind shall fall by the sword. Say to the people of Israel, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am about to desecrate my sanctuary—the stronghold in which you take pride, the delight of your eyes, the object of your affection. The sons and daughters you left behind will fall by the sword.
22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not be comforted at their mouth, and ye shall not eat the bread of men. And you shall do as I have done; you shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men. And you will do as I have done. You will not cover your mustache and beard or eat the customary food of mourners.
23 And your hair shall be upon your head, and your shoes on your feet: neither shall ye at all lament or weep; but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and shall comfort every one his brother. Your turbans shall be on your heads and your shoes on your feet; you shall not mourn or weep, but you shall rot away in your iniquities and groan to one another. You will keep your turbans on your heads and your sandals on your feet. You will not mourn or weep but will waste away because of your sins and groan among yourselves.
24 And Jezekiel shall be for a sign to you: according to all that I have done shall ye do, when these things shall come; and ye shall know that I am the Lord. Thus shall Ezekiel be to you a sign; according to all that he has done you shall do. When this comes, then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’ Ezekiel will be a sign to you; you will do just as he has done. When this happens, you will know that I am the Sovereign LORD.’
25 And thou, son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take their strength from them, the pride of their boasting, the desires of their eyes, and the pride of their soul, their sons and their daughters, “As for you, son of man, surely on the day when I take from them their stronghold, their joy and glory, the delight of their eyes and their soul’s desire, and also their sons and daughters, “And you, son of man, on the day I take away their stronghold, their joy and glory, the delight of their eyes, their heart’s desire, and their sons and daughters as well—
26 that in that day he that escapes shall come to thee, to tell it thee in thine ears? on that day a fugitive will come to you to report to you the news. on that day a fugitive will come to tell you the news.
27 In that say thy mouth shall be opened to him that escapes; thou shalt speak, and shalt be no longer dumb: and thou shalt be for a sign to them, and they shall know that I am the Lord. On that day your mouth will be opened to the fugitive, and you shall speak and be no longer mute. So you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the LORD.” At that time your mouth will be opened; you will speak with him and will no longer be silent. So you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the LORD.”
