Chapter 24

¹ And the word of the Lord came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, saying:
² Son of man, write thee the name of this day, on which the king of Babylon hath set himself against Jerusalem to day.
³ And thou shalt speak by a figure a parable to the provoking house, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Set on a pot, set it on, I say, and put water into it.
⁴ Heap together into if the pieces thereof, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder, choice pieces and full of bones.
⁵ Take the fattest of the flock, and lay together piles of bones under it: the seething thereof is boiling hot, and the bones thereof are thoroughly sodden in the midst of it.
⁶ Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is in it, and its rust is not gone out of it: cast it out piece by piece, there hath no lot fallen upon it.
⁷ For her blood is in the midst of her, she hath shed it upon the smooth rock: she hath not shed it upon the ground, that it might be covered with dust.
⁸ And that I might bring my indignation upon her, and take my vengeance: I have shed her blood upon the smooth rock, that it should not be covered.
⁹ Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, of which I will make a great bonfire.
¹⁰ Heap together the bones, which I will burn with Are: the flesh shall be consumed, and the whole composition shall be sodden, and the bones shall be consumed.
¹¹ Then set it empty upon burning coals, that it may be hot, and the brass thereof may be melted: and let the filth of it be melted in the midst thereof, and let the rust of it be consumed.
¹² Great pains have been taken, and the great rust thereof is not gone out, not even by fire.
¹³ Thy uncleanness is execrable: be- cause I desired to cleanse thee, and thou art not cleansed from thy filthiness: neither shalt thou be cleansed, before I cause my indignation to rest in thee.
¹⁴ I the Lord have spoken: it shall come to pass, and I will do it: I will not pass by, nor spare, nor be pacified: I will judge thee according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, saith the Lord.
¹⁵ And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
¹⁶ Son of man, behold I take from thee the desire of thy eyes with a stroke: and thou shalt not lament, nor weep : neither shall thy tears run down.
¹⁷ Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the dead: let the tire of thy head be upon thee, and thy shoes on thy feet, and cover not thy face, nor eat the meat of mourners.
¹⁸ So I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening: and I did in the morning as he had commanded me.
¹⁹ And the people said to me: Why dost thou not tell us what these things mean that thou doest?
²⁰ And I said to them: The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
²¹ Speak to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will profane my sanctuary, the glory of your realm, and the thing that your eyes de sire, and for which your soul feareth: your sons, and your daughters, whom you have left, shall fall by the sword.
²² And you shall do as I have done: you shall not cover your faces, nor shall you eat the meat of mourners.
²³ You shall have crowns on your heads, and shoes on your feet: you shall not lament nor weep, but you shall pine away for your iniquities, and every one shall sigh with his brother.
²⁴ And Ezechiel shall be unto you for a sign of things to come: according to all that he hath done, so shall you do, when this shall come to pass: and you shall know that I am the Lord God.
²⁵ And thou, O son of man, behold in the day wherein I will take away from them their strength, and the joy of their glory, and the desire of their eyes, upon which their souls rest, their sons and their daughters.
²⁶ In that day when he that escapeth shall come to thee, to tell thee:
²⁷ In that day, I say, shall thy mouth be opened to him that hath escaped, and thou shalt speak, and shalt be silent no more: and thou shalt be unto them for a sign of things to come, and you shall know that I am the Lord.

Chapter 24

¹ Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
² Son of man, Write for thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.
³ And utter a parable to the rebellious house, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:
⁴ Gather its pieces into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
⁵ Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them boil its bones in it.
⁶ Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.
⁷ For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;
⁸ That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.
⁹ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.
¹⁰ Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.
¹¹ Then set it empty upon its coals, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be melted in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.
¹² She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.
¹³ In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.
¹⁴ I the LORD 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 GOD.
¹⁵ Also the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
¹⁶ Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thy eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.
¹⁷ Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thy head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men.
¹⁸ So I spoke to the people in the morning: and at evening my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
¹⁹ And the people said to me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?
²⁰ Then I answered them, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
²¹ Speak to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellence of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.
²² And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.
²³ 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 for your iniquities, and mourn one towards another.
²⁴ Thus Ezekiel is to you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
²⁵ Also, 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 on which they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,
²⁶ That he that escapeth in that day shall come to thee, to cause thee to hear it with thy ears?
²⁷ In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him who hath escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign to them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Chapter 24

¹ And in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
² Son of man, write thee the name of the day, of this selfsame day: on this selfsame day the king of Babylon draws near to Jerusalem.
³ And propose a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Set on the pot, set [it] on, and also pour water into it.
⁴ Gather the pieces thereof into it, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder; fill [it] with the choice bones:
⁵ take the choice of the flock; and also [put] a pile of wood under it, for the bones; make it boil well, and let the bones of it seethe therein.
⁶ Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is therein, and whose rust is not gone out of it! Bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it:
⁷ 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.
⁸ That it might cause fury to come up to execute vengeance, I have set her blood upon the bare rock, that it should not be covered.
⁹ Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.
¹⁰ Heap on the wood, kindle the fire, boil thoroughly the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.
¹¹ Then set it empty upon its coals, that it may be hot, and the brass of it may burn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, [and] that its rust may be consumed.
¹² She hath exhausted [her] labours, yet her great rust goeth not forth out of her: let her rust be in the fire.
¹³ In thy filthiness is lewdness, for I have purged thee, and thou art not pure. Thou shalt no more be purged from thy filthiness, till I have satisfied my fury upon thee.
¹⁴ I Jehovah have spoken [it]: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, nor will I repent. According to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord Jehovah.
¹⁵ And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
¹⁶ Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke; yet thou shalt not mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.
¹⁷ Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the dead; bind thy turban upon thee, and put thy sandals upon thy feet, and cover not the beard, and eat not the bread of men.
¹⁸ -- And I spoke unto the people in the morning; and at even my wife died. And I did in the morning as I was commanded.
¹⁹ And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, which thou doest?
²⁰ And I said to them, The word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
²¹ Say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and your soul's longing; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind shall fall by the sword.
²² And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover the beard, neither eat the bread of men;
²³ and your turbans shall be upon your heads, and your sandals upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall waste away in your iniquities and moan one toward another.
²⁴ Thus Ezekiel shall be unto you a sign; according to all that he hath done shall ye do: when it cometh, then ye shall know that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.
²⁵ 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 whereunto they lift up their soul, their sons and their daughters,
²⁶ that in that day he that escapeth shall come unto thee, to cause [thine] ears to hear [it]?
²⁷ 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.

Chapter 24

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,
² Son of man, put down in writing this very day: The king of Babylon let loose the weight of his attack against Jerusalem on this very day.
³ And make a comparison for this uncontrolled people, and say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Put on the cooking-pot, put it on the fire and put water in it:
⁴ And get the bits together, the fat tail, every good part, the leg and the top part of it: make it full of the best bones.
⁵ Take the best of the flock, put much wood under it: see that its bits are boiling well; let the bones be cooked inside it.
⁶ For this is what the Lord has said: A curse is on the town of blood, the cooking-pot which is unclean inside, which has never been made clean! take out its bits; its fate is still to come on it.
⁷ For her blood is in her; she has put it on the open rock not draining it on to the earth so that it might be covered with dust;
⁸ In order that it might make wrath come up to give punishment, she has put her blood on the open rock, so that it may not be covered.
⁹ For this cause the Lord has said: A curse is on the town of blood! and I will make great the burning mass.
¹⁰ Put on much wood, heating up the fire, boiling the flesh well, and making the soup thick, and let the bones be burned.
¹¹ And I will put her on the coals so that she may be heated and her brass burned, so that what is unclean in her may become soft and her waste be completely taken away.
¹² I have made myself tired to no purpose: still all the waste which is in her has not come out, it has an evil smell.
¹³ As for your unclean purpose: because I have been attempting to make you clean, but you have not been made clean from it, you will not be made clean till I have let loose my passion on you in full measure.
¹⁴ I the Lord have said the word and I will do it; I will not go back or have mercy, and my purpose will not be changed; in the measure of your ways and of your evil doings you will be judged, says the Lord.
¹⁵ And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
¹⁶ Son of man, see, I am taking away the desire of your eyes by disease: but let there be no sorrow or weeping or drops running from your eyes.
¹⁷ Let there be no sound of sorrow; make no weeping for your dead, put on your head-dress and your shoes on your feet, let not your lips be covered, and do not take the food of those in grief.
¹⁸ So in the morning I was teaching the people and in the evening death took my wife; and in the morning I did what I had been ordered to do.
¹⁹ And the people said to me, Will you not make clear to us the sense of these things; is it for us you do them?
²⁰ Then I said to them, The word of the Lord came to me, saying,
²¹ Say to the people of Israel, The Lord has said, See, I will make my holy place unclean, the pride of your strength, the pleasure of your eyes, and the desire of your soul; and your sons and daughters, who did not come with you here, will be put to the sword.
²² And you will do as I have done, not covering your lips or taking the food of those in grief.
²³ And your head-dresses will be on your heads and your shoes on your feet: there will be no sorrow or weeping; but you will be wasting away in the punishment of your evil-doing, and you will be looking at one another in wonder.
²⁴ And Ezekiel will be a sign to you; everything he has done you will do: when this takes place, you will be certain that I am the Lord.
²⁵ And as for you, son of man, your mouth will be shut in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that on which their hearts are fixed, and their sons and daughters.
²⁶ In that day, one who has got away safe will come to you to give you news of it.
²⁷ In that day your mouth will be open to him who has got away safe, and you will say words to him and your lips will no longer be shut: so you will be a sign to them and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
