Ezekiel 24:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 The word of the LORD came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month:
2 "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.
3 Recite a proverb to this rebellious house and say to them, 'This is what the sovereign LORD says: "'Set on the pot, set it on, pour water in it too;
4 add the pieces of meat to it, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder; fill it with choice bones.
5 Take the choice bone of the flock, heap up bones under it; boil rapidly, and boil its bones in it.
6 "'Therefore this is what the sovereign LORD says: Woe to the city of bloodshed, the pot whose rot is in it, whose rot has not been removed from it! Empty it piece by piece. No lot has fallen on it.
7 For her blood was in it; she poured it on an exposed rock; she did not pour it on the ground to cover it up with dust.
8 To arouse anger, to take vengeance, I have placed her blood on an exposed rock so that it cannot be covered up.
9 "'Therefore this is what the sovereign LORD says: Woe to the city of bloodshed! I will also make the pile high.
10 Pile up the bones, kindle the fire; cook the meat well, mix in the spices, let the bones be charred.
11 Set the empty pot on the coals, until it becomes hot and its copper glows, until its uncleanness melts within it and its rot is consumed.
12 It has tried my patience; yet its thick rot is not removed from it. Subject its rot to the fire!
13 You mix uncleanness with obscene conduct. I tried to cleanse you, but you are not clean. You will not be cleansed from your uncleanness until I have exhausted my anger on you.
14 "'I the LORD have spoken; judgment is coming and I will act! I will not relent, or show pity, or be sorry! I will judge you according to your conduct and your deeds, declares the sovereign LORD.'"
15 The word of LORD came to me:
16 "Son of man, realize that I am about to take the delight of your eyes away from you with a jolt, but you must not mourn or weep or shed tears.
17 Groan in silence for the dead, but do not perform mourning rites. Bind on your turban and put your sandals on your feet. Do not cover your lip and do not eat food brought by others."
18 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening. In the morning I acted just as I was commanded.
19 Then the people said to me, "Will you not tell us what these things you are doing mean for us?"
20 So I said to them: "The word of the LORD came to me:
21 Say to the house of Israel, 'This is what the sovereign LORD says: Realize I am about to desecrate my sanctuary� the source of your confident pride, the object in which your eyes delight, and your life's passion. Your very own sons and daughters whom you have left behind will die by the sword.
22 Then you will do as I have done: You will not cover your lip or eat food brought by others.
23 Your turbans will be on your heads and your sandals on your feet; you will not mourn or weep, but you will rot for your iniquities and groan among yourselves.
24 Ezekiel will be an object lesson for you; you will do all that he has done. When it happens, then you will know that I am the sovereign LORD.'
25 "And you, son of man, this is what will happen on the day I take from them their stronghold� their beautiful source of joy, the object in which their eyes delight, and the main concern of their lives, as well as their sons and daughters:
26 On that day a fugitive will come to you to report the news.
27 On that day you will be able to speak again; you will talk with the fugitive and be silent no longer. You will be an object lesson for them, and they will know that I am the LORD."
1 Again in the ninth H8671 year, H8141 in the tenth H6224 month, H2320 in the tenth H6218 day of the month, H2320 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying, H559
2 Son H1121 of man, H120 write H3789 thee H853 the name H8034 of the day, H3117 H853 even of this H2088 same H6106 day: H3117 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 set H5564 himself against H413 Jerusalem H3389 this H2088 same H6106 day. H3117
3 And utter H4911 a parable H4912 unto H413 the rebellious H4805 house, H1004 and say H559 unto H413 them, Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 Set on H8239 a pot, H5518 set it on, H8239 and also H1571 pour H3332 water H4325 into it:
4 Gather H622 the pieces H5409 thereof into H413 it, even every H3605 good H2896 piece, H5409 the thigh, H3409 and the shoulder; H3802 fill H4390 it with the choice H4005 bones. H6106
5 Take H3947 the choice H4005 of the flock, H6629 and burn H1752 also H1571 the bones H6106 under H8478 it, and make it boil H7570 well, H7571 and H1571 let them seethe H1310 the bones H6106 of it therein. H8432
6 Wherefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 Woe H188 to the bloody H1818 city, H5892 to the pot H5518 whose H834 scum H2457 is therein , and whose scum H2457 is not H3808 gone out H3318 of H4480 it! bring it out H3318 piece H5409 by piece; H5409 let no H3808 lot H1486 fall H5307 upon H5921 it.
7 For H3588 her blood H1818 is H1961 in the midst H8432 of her ; she set H7760 it upon H5921 the top H6706 of a rock; H5553 she poured H8210 it not H3808 upon H5921 the ground, H776 to cover H3680 H5921 it with dust; H6083
8 That it might cause fury H2534 to come up H5927 to take H5358 vengeance; H5359 I have set H5414 H853 her blood H1818 upon H5921 the top H6706 of a rock, H5553 that it should not H1115 be covered. H3680
9 Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 Woe H188 to the bloody H1818 city H5892 ! I H589 will even H1571 make the pile for fire H4071 great. H1431
10 Heap on H7235 wood, H6086 kindle H1814 the fire, H784 consume H8552 the flesh, H1320 and spice it well H7543 H4841 , and let the bones H6106 be burned. H2787
11 Then set H5975 it empty H7386 upon H5921 the coals H1513 thereof, that H4616 the brass H5178 of it may be hot, H2552 and may burn, H2787 and that the filthiness H2932 of it may be molten H5413 in H8432 it, that the scum H2457 of it may be consumed. H8552
12 She hath wearied H3811 herself with lies, H8383 and her great H7227 scum H2457 went not forth H3318 H3808 out of H4480 her : her scum H2457 shall be in the fire. H784
13 In thy filthiness H2932 is lewdness: H2154 because H3282 I have purged H2891 thee , and thou wast not H3808 purged, H2891 thou shalt not H3808 be purged H2891 from thy filthiness H4480 H2932 any more, H5750 till H5704 I have caused H853 my fury H2534 to rest H5117 upon thee.
14 I H589 the LORD H3068 have spoken H1696 it : it shall come to pass, H935 and I will do H6213 it ; I will not H3808 go back, H6544 neither H3808 will I spare, H2347 neither H3808 will I repent; H5162 according to thy ways, H1870 and according to thy doings, H5949 shall they judge H8199 thee, saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD. H3069
15 Also the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying, H559
16 Son H1121 of man, H120 behold, H2009 I take away H3947 from H4480 thee H853 the desire H4261 of thine eyes H5869 with a stroke: H4046 yet neither H3808 shalt thou mourn H5594 nor H3808 weep, H1058 neither H3808 shall thy tears H1832 run down. H935
17 Forbear H1826 to cry, H602 make H6213 no H3808 mourning H60 for the dead, H4191 bind H2280 the tire of thine head H6287 upon H5921 thee , and put on H7760 thy shoes H5275 upon thy feet, H7272 and cover H5844 not H3808 thy lips, H8222 and eat H398 not H3808 the bread H3899 of men. H376
18 So I spoke H1696 unto H413 the people H5971 in the morning: H1242 and at even H6153 my wife H802 died; H4191 and I did H6213 in the morning H1242 as H834 I was commanded. H6680
19 And the people H5971 said H559 unto H413 me , Wilt thou not H3808 tell H5046 us what H4100 these H428 things are to us, that H3588 thou H859 doest H6213 so ?
20 Then I answered H559 H413 them , The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying, H559
21 Speak H559 unto the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 Behold, H2009 I will profane H2490 H853 my sanctuary, H4720 the excellency H1347 of your strength, H5797 the desire H4261 of your eyes, H5869 and that which your soul H5315 pitieth; H4263 and your sons H1121 and your daughters H1323 whom H834 ye have left H5800 shall fall H5307 by the sword. H2719
22 And ye shall do H6213 as H834 I have done: H6213 ye shall not H3808 cover H5844 H5921 your lips, H8222 nor H3808 eat H398 the bread H3899 of men. H376
23 And your tires H6287 shall be upon H5921 your heads, H7218 and your shoes H5275 upon your feet: H7272 ye shall not H3808 mourn H5594 nor H3808 weep; H1058 but ye shall pine away H4743 for your iniquities, H5771 and mourn H5098 one H376 toward H413 another. H251
24 Thus Ezekiel H3168 is H1961 unto you a sign: H4159 according to all H3605 that H834 he hath done H6213 shall ye do: H6213 and when this cometh, H935 ye shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the Lord H136 GOD. H3069
25 Also, thou H859 son H1121 of man, H120 shall it not H3808 be in the day H3117 when I take H3947 from H4480 them H853 their strength, H4581 the joy H4885 of their glory, H8597 H853 the desire H4261 of their eyes, H5869 and that whereupon they set H4853 their minds, H5315 their sons H1121 and their daughters, H1323
26 That he that escapeth H6412 in that H1931 day H3117 shall come H935 unto H413 thee , to cause thee to hear H2045 it with thine ears H241 ?
27 In that H1931 day H3117 shall thy mouth H6310 be opened to him which is escaped, H6412 and thou shalt speak, H1696 and be no more dumb H481 H3808: H5750 and thou shalt be H1961 a sign H4159 unto them ; and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD. H3068
